Chapter 18: The Iron Age (Part II)
"Okay, as you said, I'll go to the eldest brother and the third brother, study it in detail, and try to start as soon as possible. Liang Shan said firmly. After saying that, he wanted to get up and leave.
Liu Yu hurriedly grabbed Liang Shan and said, "Teacher, I haven't finished my words yet." The old man who taught me how to make repeaters also left me two books devoted to the exploration of iron and coal mines, and I was not very interested in this work, so I left them there unread. Now it's time to give it to the teacher, so it's a good use. After speaking, he took out two thick books from the spatial ring and handed them to Liang Shan.
Liang Shan took the book and flipped through it simply. said to Liu Yu: "You go over with me, tell your thoughts, let's study it together, analyze all kinds of details, and make a perfect plan." After speaking, he pulled Liu Yu out of the courtyard, called the carriage assigned to him by the college, and drove to Guan Xing's mansion.
The carriage soon arrived at Guan Xing's mansion. Since Liang Shan was a frequent visitor to the Guanfu, everyone in the Guanfu could know him, so no one stepped forward to stop him. Before the carriage stopped at the door, Liang Shan pulled Liu Yu to jump out of the carriage and went straight to the backyard. Soon found Guan Xing and Zhang Wenyu.
followed Guan Xing to the study, the three of them sat down, and Liu Yu stood behind Liangshan. Liang Shan first opened his mouth and repeated what Liu Yu had said before. Zhang Wenyu and Guan Xing were quietly thinking after listening, and the room fell silent for a while.
After a while, Guan Xing and Zhang Wenyu glanced at each other, and Zhang Wenyu said, "Xiaoyu, your idea is very good, you can consider it." We'll start small-scale trials and scale up when the conditions are right. The first step is to recruit talent to ensure that each link can be up and running in the shortest possible time. The second step is to choose a suitable location to build a production base to reduce the loss of transportation links. The third step is the production of weapons. We'll start with the Iron Backed Repeater and Steel Sword you provide, and wait until the process is mature and approved by the military before determining the next step. Xiao Yu, do you think there is anything else to add?"
"You have more experience than I do, and you think more than I do, you just have to decide. Liu Yu shook his head and said.
"Well, that's it. Xiaoyu, it's not that we want to rob you of your credit. You're still young, and your priority is to study, so let's do these specific things with a few old guys. It's not time for you to show your edge yet, and when you graduate from Bokan Military Academy and enter the military, we will gradually roll you out. You have to work hard yourself, don't let us down, only by making achievements in the army, can you have more room for development in the future. Zhang Wenyu stood up, walked to Liu Yu's side, patted Liu Yu's shoulder and encouraged.
Guan Xing also walked over and said to Liu Yu: "Also, you take the time to come to me every Sunday, and we will also communicate with you about the progress of this week, so you can familiarize yourself with the operation process and exchange your learning experience with us this week, which will be of great benefit to your future growth." In addition, the first production base we built was named Bokan Equipment Group. ”
"It's really flattering to be able to get the guidance of your seniors, thank you seniors. Liu Yu said in surprise.
"Alright, we're done talking. I agreed on such an important thing today, is it not to celebrate, third brother, the good wine you have hidden should also be taken out to reward me. Before he finished speaking, Liang Shan's saliva was already dripping. provoked Zhang Wenyu and Guan Xing laughed.
Guan Xing stopped laughing and said, "Okay, it's worth celebrating that you can get an apprentice like Liu Yu, today I'll be the east and let you have a good drink." ”
After eating, Liang Shan was too drunk to walk. Liu Yu didn't stay in the Guanfu for too long, left early, and went back to continue his studies. Although he has initially been recognized by these elders, Liu Yu knows that he still can't relax his requirements for himself. If you can't make achievements, even if someone supports you, it can't last long, and only improving your own strength is a long-term solution. This is also the reason why Liu Yu is grateful for Guan Xing's last words, after all, being able to get the guidance of these high-level officials of the empire will help him a lot in his future growth.
Back in the dormitory, the roommates in the same dormitory all went out, and Liu Yu was the only one in the dormitory. Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, Liu Yu was quietly thinking, he had thought about today's proposal for a long time, and he also had a certain plan for what to do next.
Back at his desk, he pulled out a rectangular metal box and a strange thing with a long, thin tail from the spatial ring. The strange thing is half the size of a palm, and the metal box is forty centimeters long, twenty-five centimeters wide, and about two centimeters thick. The box can be opened from the middle, and the upper part of the box can be erected to reveal a flat surface of the non-metallic material. The bottom half is full of keys, and I don't know what to do with it.
Liu Yu skillfully pressed a button, only to see the plane of the upper half gradually light up, showing strings of text, and the picture kept flashing. After a while, the picture stopped, and unknown patterns were neatly arranged.
"It's a great computer, it's a lot easier to get things done. Liu Yu was talking to himself while skillfully working on the keyboard. With Liu Yu's work, a blue planet gradually appeared on the black background of the fluorescent screen. The planet is slowly spinning. Most of the sphere is filled with different shades of blue, with only five or six small patches of yellow scattered over it. If you look closely, you can see that the yellow area is uneven, showing undulating terrain, and in some places it is covered in large areas of green.
Liu Yu pressed a few buttons again, and the picture was gradually zoomed in, a map continued to enlarge, and the image became clearer and clearer. Mountains, rivers, cities and villages are all visible on the map. There are also light spots of different colors that appear on the map.
Liu Yu moved the map to an area and stopped, looking at the picture and thinking: This is Bokan City, and the resources around Bokan City are still very rich. There are large quantities of iron ore, coal mines, copper mines, and some unknown mineral deposits. I draw a sketch of the distribution of these resources and send it to the teachers so that they can speed up their progress.
After doing all this, night had fallen, Liu Yu put away the computer and went to the cafeteria of the college to have a simple dinner, and then continued to study hard. When you focus on one thing, time always flies, and before you know it, the night just passes. Putting away the books, stretching, and moving his somewhat stiff neck, Liu Yu stood up. Pushing open the window, fresh air rushed in. It was another sunny morning, facing the rising sun, Liu Yu shouted: "I will definitely succeed!"
