It was the first time Su Mu came to the smelter, and it was also the first time he saw what the ancient military industry was like.

Entering the main entrance, there is a spacious courtyard, and a famous Ministry of Industry officials come and go, very busy.

Among the six departments of the imperial court, the Ministry of Rites is the most idle, the household department has the most generous treatment, the officials have the most power, the military department only knows how to ask for money, and the Ministry of Industry is the busiest.

There is no way, the repair and expansion of the city walls and palaces, the maintenance and replacement of weapons and armor, and the research and development and production of new equipment all depend on the Ministry of Industry.

After Zhuge Bin brought Su Mu and a few people in, an official happened to walk out of the hall, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw him: "Zhuge Gongzi, why are you here?"

This official has a national face, a dark face, not inferior to Tao An, giving people a simple and down-to-earth feeling.

"Lord Chen."

Zhuge Bin stepped forward to greet this official, and then introduced to Su Mu and the others, "This is Lord Chen Lichen, the squire of the Ministry of Works, the youngest elder of my Momen."

"My dad doesn't come to the smelter much on weekdays, and Master Chen is actually in charge of the entire ministry, and my dad is just a hands-off shopkeeper."

Hearing Zhuge Bin's introduction, Su Mu knew that the man in front of him who looked ordinary was actually the squire of the Ministry of Works, and he was also the elder of Momen.

The last time Zhuge Qingfeng came to the door with Elder Momen, Su Mu didn't see him, thinking that the other party didn't come with him at that time.

"Don't dare, don't dare, just do what you do, Zhuge Gongzi is serious."

Hearing this, Chen Li hurriedly waved his hand, then looked at Su Mu and the others, and asked, "......Who are these people?"

The Ministry of Industry is important, but not anyone can enter casually, if it weren't for Zhuge Bin's special status, he wouldn't be able to enter the smelter.

The outside is only an office area, and entering the internal smelting area is subject to identity verification.

"They are all my friends, and recently we want to set up a factory together, so we came to visit the smelter today, and we also want to ...... Uh, no, borrow some manpower."

Zhuge Bin smiled and rubbed his hands expectantly.

He felt guilty if he didn't get his own wool.

But you still have to say hello, after all, you have to go through a process, and the craftsmen who leave are all sent away.

Chen Li felt a headache after hearing this, Zhuge Bin was not the first time to come to the Ministry of Industry to collect wool, in the past, he used to pick up some materials, but the Ministry of Industry did not lack those, as long as it was not particularly precious, he would turn a blind eye.

After all, he is the son of a giant, and it is normal to have some privileges, but now he actually came directly to the Ministry of Industry to abduct people out, which is really unprecedented.

Chen Li sighed in his heart, and he was helpless about it, and said, "Although the personnel transfer is under my jurisdiction, I have to let the giant know if I borrow it."

"Don't worry, Lord Chen, I've already told my father, it's no problem."

Zhuge Bin didn't blush at all when he lied, and said it seriously, not at all.

Hearing this, Chen Li didn't ask any more questions, he said everything he should have said, Zhuge Bin insisted on this, and he couldn't say anything.

"Come with me, those guys."

Chen Li put aside the affairs in his hand first, and led Su Mu and them through the lobby and into the smelter.

This time, they need to be manually vetted, and their identities will be verified before they are placed in it.

"Click——!"

With the heavy sound of the machine turning, the heavy dark iron door slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.

In an empty square, there are thousands of forging platforms standing, and a famous craftsman or topless iron strikes, sweating like rain; or squat in front of the forge table to control the spiritual fire and smelt the ore; Or cut the corpse of the monster, cut the material from it, and sort it out.

Everyone has their job to do their job, and everything is in order.

"All of these are Momen disciples?"

Su Mu glanced at it and found that there were probably thousands of people in this square, which made him a little surprised by this scale.

Momen's development in this world is not bad.

Chen Li next to him explained, "It just seems that there are a lot of them, and many of them are helpers and apprentices."

"Outside craftsmen need to start from the bottom to enter the smelter, first become workers, then craftsmen, and finally if they pass the moral and technical standards, they can enter my ink gate."

"Helpers and apprentices are all doing odd jobs, such as smelting ores, splitting materials, etc., and only workers and craftsmen can craft things."

"When you become a disciple of the Ink Gate, you will be able to participate in the design and development of weapons."

"Now there are about 2,000 apprentices in the smelter, 800 craftsmen, and only about 300 ink apprentices."

After listening to this, Su Mu realized that the Momen screening people were so strict, and there were only more than 300 people.

But think about it, the Momen is not a school that simply studies forging and mechanical arts, they also inherit their own ideas, but they are not recognized by many people.

You can only enter the ink gate if you pass the skill and morality, no wonder there are still so few people.

"They're building weapons? Isn't there still a lot in the armory, isn't there enough?"

Tao An noticed what the craftsmen were building, so he asked curiously.

He remembered the rotation of equipment that had just been carried out the year before last, and there should still be a large number of weapons and equipment in the armory, so why did he start building new ones now.

Chen Li replied: "This prince doesn't know, the border army has changed guards recently, and the imperial court has deployed heavy troops at the border pass to prepare for leaving the country, and I don't know when the fight will start."

"Now that the armies of all sides have begun to carry out a new round of equipment rotation, the next half a year will be busy."

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, it is necessary to carry out a major rotation of equipment every five years.

Although it was said that the equipment had just been rotated once the year before last, but now the situation with the departure country was so tense that the Yanguo Imperial Court had to start making preparations.

All in all, the Ministry of Engineering is so busy that it can't stop.

Chen Li introduced them to the various areas of the Ministry of Industry, but Su Mu was observing the weapons built by those craftsmen.

"It's all cold weapons and armor, even if it uses the body of a demon beast as a material, it's useless."

Su Mu lost interest after taking a look.

Because the weapons created in the smelter are all cold weapons, and crossbow arrows and the like are considered to have technical content.

Different from conventional cold weapons, the materials used in these weapons are very good, but it is limited to this, Su Mu gave an evaluation of sturdy and easy-to-use cold weapons.

When artillery is popularized, these cold weapons can be eliminated, and then it will be the world of hot weapons!

"I just don't know if there will be a day when the mushroom bomb will rise if this development continues......

Su Mu suddenly had this thought in his heart.

At the same time, he was a little curious, could a mushroom bomb kill a great monk of the third grade?

Just as he was distracted, a violent explosion was suddenly heard in the distance, and a brilliant fire shot through the sky and shot towards their location!
