Chapter Ninety-Four: Seven Days, Two Thousand Arquebuses
"His Royal Highness King Joan, do you really want to do something to them?"
"With our current strength, the odds are very low."
Chen Zuyi asked with a worried face.
It's not that he coaxed him, he really doesn't have any chance of winning, he is completely going to die, he doesn't want to take people to death in vain.
"Who says our odds are low?"
"Since you know that the enemy is powerful and dare to go, you are naturally sure of victory."
"You don't have to worry about the rest, just gather all your people, and the rest will just wait to set off to attack Dongfan."
Zhu Zi sneered.
The odds of winning are very low, that is, Chen Zuyi doesn't know yet, they have firearms in Qiongzhou, and once they know that they have firearms, it won't be like this.
"Understood."
When Chen Zuyi heard this, he had no choice but to agree.
With his intuition, he always felt that Zhu Zi was too confident, as if he was really sure.
"Sang Zhao and Wang Zhi, as well as the blacksmith shop guys stay, and the rest of the people, you are busy with your work."
After glancing at everyone, Zhu Zi also gave an order.
There are too many people, but it doesn't help them much at the moment, just leave the people who have a role, and the rest of the people, there is no need to be here.
Now the situation is grim, they must quickly take back Dongfan, otherwise everything they have done before will be in vain, and the dead heroic souls will not be able to rest in peace, and they will take the heroic souls of Qiongzhou home.
"Yes."
Those who were not called also left the conference hall one after another.
Soon, only Zhu Zi and Wang Zhi were left in the conference hall.
"Let's go, time is running out now, we can't afford to waste time."
After Zhu Zi greeted everyone, he walked outside.
Wang Zhi and Sang Zhao in the back, as well as Huang Tiesheng and his party, although they didn't know what Zhu Zi meant, they still followed honestly.
The group walked out of Qiongzhou Mansion and came to the suburbs, and they didn't stop until they saw a huge building and came to the front.
"Firearms factories? Your Highness, what are we doing here? ”
Wang Zhileng paused for a moment and asked suspiciously.
Could it be that Zhu Zi is going to use a firearm?
He has seen the power of firearms, is Zhu Zi going to use firearms?
"Wait a minute, you'll know, let's go inside."
Zhu Zi didn't answer directly, and after saying a word, he walked directly into the firearms factory.
The soldiers guarding the firearms factory, after seeing Zhu Zi, all saluted respectfully, and no one dared to stop them.
The group walked in smoothly, and a strong and pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air, and they smelled it as soon as they entered.
"Your Highness, are you back?"
As soon as they walked in, the firearms expert came out, and after seeing Zhu Zi, he hurriedly spoke.
"Come back, this is the formula of gunpowder, from now on, we in Qiongzhou will be able to be self-sufficient in gunpowder, with the formula of gunpowder, how much can the efficiency of the firearms factory be improved?"
Zhu Zi nodded slightly, took out the gunpowder formula from his arms, and handed it to the firearms expert.
Originally, he didn't plan to give the gunpowder formula to the firearms experts today, and wanted to study it himself, but now that the situation is serious, he must give up this idea and get the gunpowder mass-produced as soon as possible.
"With the gunpowder formula, you can mass-produce gunpowder, only there is no shortage of gunpowder, and the remaining materials have been prepared for a long time, according to your orders, in the past few months, you have been cultivating manpower, with the current manpower and efficiency, you can build at least two hundred arquebuses a day."
"However, the production of gunpowder still needs time, give me three days, the demand for gunpowder can be solved, and after three days, the production of arquebuses will change dramatically."
The firearms expert picked up the gunpowder formula, and after carefully studying it for a while, his eyes instantly lit up, and he swore an oath.
With his expertise, he understood at a glance how gunpowder should be made, and he could also calculate how long it would take to solve the current problem.
"Okay, how many arquebuses are in stock now?"
Zhu Zi nodded with satisfaction, more than 200 strokes a day, this efficiency is already very high, after all, firearms experts, but they have trained manpower for almost half a year, how can the efficiency be low.
However, what he wants to know more now is that in the past six months, how many arquebuses have survived in the firearms factory, and they will use them now, without further ado, these existing stocks are still particularly important.
"Tell Your Highness, due to the lack of materials, and these days, the main task is to train new people, so there are not many arquebuses, and now there are only more than 800 arquebuses in stock."
"According to your orders, the arquebuses have been handed over to the army for training."
The firearms expert hesitated for a moment before speaking.
There were more than 800 arquebuses in half a year, and this was made by using all the materials they had now, and it was only more than 800 when they were full.
If there are no materials, they can't do it, and there is no way to do this, in the absence of a gunpowder formula, it is impossible to make gunpowder out of thin air, they are not so powerful.
"More than 800 shots, okay, I know, in the last few days, roll up your sleeves and do it, I will give you seven days, seven days, to make me two thousand arquebuses."
"As for the method, I don't care, I can only make 2,000 strokes in seven days, you can use anything."
"This is Huang Tiesheng, the people behind him are all blacksmiths, the production of bullets, just leave it to them, and the rest of the people, all of them will give me all my strength to make arquebuses, how to make bullets, you just teach them, they are all experienced blacksmiths, a little bit."
Zhu Zi said very seriously.
In the current situation, more than 800 guns are absolutely not enough, at least nearly 3,000 arquebuses, otherwise it will not be enough at all.
What he expected was supposed to be a little more, but there was no way, the reality is often cruel, there are only so few.
Fortunately, he brought the firearm formula, otherwise this efficiency is too touching, more than 800 arquebuses in half a year, too much difference.
Originally, it was planned to let the blacksmith rest for a while and put in the work, after all, he had been on the road for such a long time, but now the situation is different, and the blacksmith can only get started.
"Huang Tiesheng, this is a firearms expert, he will teach you what to do later."
"You have all heard just now, our Dongfan was robbed by the enemy, and five thousand brothers died on Dongfan, it is absolutely impossible for us to swallow this breath, we can only work hard for a while, and after this period of work, you can rest."
Zhu Zi turned his head and said to Huang Tiesheng.
