"Wang Zhi has returned, An Shi should have gotten the news."

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Baigong Division, Zhang Shuo asked Xie An leisurely. Of course, Zhang Shuo knew in his heart that with the Xie family's ability, the affairs in Donghai County would definitely not be able to hide from Xie An.

"The minister already knows, and I heard that he is currently in the Department of Commerce, discussing the matter of Haiyan with Director Elk." Xie An smiled slightly, but did not deny it.

Zhang Shuo nodded, and then said: "The current battle situation everywhere is changing, no one can guess what will happen in the next second, Gu means to take advantage of the opportunity that Wang Zhi has opened up the northern route, let him go to Youzhou to pick up all the people of Fan Yangzu's clan in the name of selling salt." What does Aiqing think? ”

"So good! Later, the minister sent someone to contact Zu Shizhi to inform him of the matter and ask him to prepare in advance. Xie An heard the meaning of Zhang Shuo's words, and immediately said that he would contact the people of the ancestral family for him.

Zhang Shuo was very satisfied with Xie An's understanding. I saw that he took the initiative to invite: "In recent days, the twists and turns of the weapon workshop have also said that there has been a major breakthrough in the technology of the workshop, but the seller does not say directly what kind of breakthrough has been made. I want Lone to see it for himself. ”

Xie An showed a smile when he heard this: "This Fengbeard is so confident, I'm afraid he has a breakthrough that is not weaker than the eight strong crossbows of the Baigong Division." Now that the monarch has arrived at the Baigong Division, there is no difference of a few steps between the left and right, why not go over and take a look? ”

"That's fine. Anshi going together? ”

"Everything is at the behest of the king."

At that moment, the two of them were talking and laughing and walked towards the weapons workshop not far from the next door. However, in view of the situation that he had just been surrounded by the craftsmen, Zhang Shuo asked Wang Yanzhang to line up two guards first to inform Fengbeard and Zhang Yangtian of the weapon workshop. Let them inform the craftsman in advance, and they don't have to go up to salute for a while, and work with peace of mind.

This Zhang Yangtian was one of the core players who were responsible for coordinating the player troops when Zhao Yun attacked Le'an, and with the unification of Donghai County, these people became Zhang Shuo's right-hand men in the player group like Li Honglin. Because he is a lover of cold weapons in reality and a senior member of the All-Armor Fighting Club, he was arranged by Zhang Shuo in the weapon workshop as the deputy of Windbeard and served as a technical consultant.

Although Zhang Wutian does not have specific abilities, as well as specialized forging drawings. However, he still has no shortage of experience and knowledge in forging this piece. In some key forging techniques, some ideas may be mentioned to give the craftsmen of the weapon workshop a reference. This time the breakthrough of the weapon workshop, Zhang Shuo had a hunch that it was very likely to be related to this Zhang Yangtian!

"The minister is arrogant, he has seen the monarch, and he has seen Xie Dazai."

The two of them were talking and laughing, and they had already come to the gate of the weapon workshop, and Zhang Yangtian had been waiting at the door for a long time at this time, and when he saw the two of them, he had already greeted each other with a smile.

"Well, there's no need to be polite."

Zhang Shuo nodded, glanced at Zhang Yangtian's left and right, and couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw the figure without the wind beard, but he didn't say anything, but entered the weapon workshop accompanied by Zhang Yangtian.

As a result, this entry almost made Zhang Shuo's jaw drop in shock. In a few months, the layout of the entire weapon workshop and the forging equipment have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Looking at the smelting blast furnaces in front of him, which are nearly two people high, and the nearly 1,000 elite soldiers in the open space not far away, who are in full swing under the command of the township chief and masons. The corners of Zhang Shuo's mouth twitched. What's going on with the nearly three-meter-high blast furnace and the four brick kilns in front of you?

There are also the craftsmen just now, who threw the washed coal into the big pit and buried it in the soil to ignite it. It's coking, right?

There were also some craftsmen in the distance, who were adding black powdery things to the clay, if Zhang Shuo expected, it should be graphite. General clay bricks can become the most primitive refractory bricks with graphite!

This is not Zhang Shuo's speculation, because next to their work, there are some small jars about two feet high and about one foot wide, which are most likely graphite clay crucibles!

This represents that the weapons workshop of the Qianguo State has directly crossed the original method of frying steel and filling steel, and upgraded to the smelting technology of smelting iron with crucibles and turning iron into molten steel. And this technology, in history, did not really come out until the seventeenth century.

Looking at the stunned Zhang Shuo, Zhang Yangtian spread his hands. "Monarch, this is just the most popular thing on the forum is to borrow chickens to lay eggs."

"Borrowing chickens to lay eggs?"

Zhang Shuo looked at Zhang Yangtian with a puzzled face, and the other party also gave Zhang Shuo a detailed explanation. Although limited by the limitations of the game, players cannot create in the game through future knowledge. But there are some players who quickly find the loopholes in it.

They had theoretical exchanges with NPC craftsmen who had mastered the relevant abilities, and borrowed each other's hands to reproduce some simple forging techniques and processes in the game.

Zhang Yangtian's introduction did not make Zhang Shuo happy, because he thought that Qianguo had come up with such a few black technology technologies through this method, so Laoguo and Mengguo, with players as the main force. What should their technical level swell into?

But fortunately, Zhang Yangtian later said that since the last system update, after they communicated with the craftsmen to the level of technical theory, these craftsmen have all become dumbfounded, even if they want to teach NPC craftsmen technical theories by hand, the other party still will not have any response.

It can be inferred from this that the game official of "Dynasty" should have discovered this vulnerability. This vulnerability was fixed in the last update. Because the people involved at this level are all the masters of power, first, the number is small, and secondly, these people all want to eat alone. So related posts rarely appear on the forum, so that until now, if it weren't for Zhang Yangtian's reminder, Zhang Shuo wouldn't have known about it.

At the same time, Zhang Shuo was also very glad that he had decided to arrange Zhang Yangtian in the weapons workshop. Otherwise, at this time, I am afraid that he will suffer another big loss invisibly!

"It seems that I still pay too little attention to the content on the forum! In the future, Chen Yijun and the others will have to strengthen the intelligence gathering on the forum. ”

Zhang Shuo couldn't help but feel annoyed, if he could have discovered this loophole earlier, he would definitely have arranged for some players to enter the Baigong Division, and let them help him get all the killing weapons such as the return cannon and the three-bow bed crossbow out!

However, chagrin is chagrin, and now he has to think about how to deal with the follow-up. Looking at Zhang Yangtian in front of him, Zhang Shuo asked with satisfaction: "Our Qianguo's smelting technology has improved to this level, and now at the level of casting equipment, has it also advanced by leaps and bounds?"
