Tang Tian frowned: "It's not a matter of money and food, it's mainly ......"

Before Tang Tian finished speaking, Li Su said, "Double!" Master Hou, Xia Guan came with sincerity, as long as you support it, you don't need to send troops, you can continue to be in Liaodong, as long as you can support it, just stand on our side at a critical time. ”

Tang Tian laughed: "If that's the case, it's very good, when I drive back the Xianbei army, I will send troops to Luoyang at a critical moment." ”

Li Su also smiled: "It's okay, then I wish the Hou Ye to repel the Xianbei army as soon as possible." ”

Tang Tiandao: "Master Li, it's rare to come to Liaodong, take a good look, and learn about the customs of Liaodong." ”

Li Su excused himself: "No, the lower official and the Hou Ye have already negotiated, then the lower official will go back to Luoyang, after all, the road is far away, and there will be a delay of half a month on the road, and I have to rush back to resume my life." ”

Tang Tian said with a look of pity: "Hey! Master Li came and left, it was Tang who was not well entertained, and Ben Hou still wanted to have a good time with you, but it's a pity. ”

Li Su said: "There will be a chance, Master Hou, the lower official will leave." ”

Sending Li Su away, Tang Tian, who was still smiling just now, restrained his expression, and said playfully: "Who wouldn't fool you, complain about seeds, 120 million money, 600,000 stone grain, no loss." ”

Tang Tian looked at the sky, it was still early, so he went to the research institute again.

Zhi Zhuo saw Tang Tian coming: "Busy man, why do you have time to come to me?" ”

Tang Tian was speechless for a while, pointed at Zhi Zhuo and scolded: "Follow the thunder clouds well, don't learn from the bad, believe me or not, you are real?" ”

Zhi Zhuo said angrily: "Get out!" ”

Tang Tian said again: "How is the research institute now?" ”

Zhi Zhuo said: "Normal operation, now a batch of equipment is being built to equip the new army, during this period of time, in the case of sufficient raw materials, you have only made 100,000 sets of armor, and it will take a month to completely change the armor." ”

"How's the manufacturing of firearms?" Tang Tian asked again, this is what he cares about.

Zhi Zhuo said: "Since the recruitment of the new army, the output has decreased, and at present there are 1,500 tanks, 5,000 armored vehicles, 100,000 rifles, 10,000 light machine guns, 8,000 heavy machine guns, 10,000 RPGs, 10,000 mortars, 5,000 improved Hongyi cannons, and countless bullets. ”

Tang Tian was taken aback: "So many!" Last time it was said that there were only five hundred tanks in the spring, and now there are three times more! What's going on? ”

Zhi Zhuo said: "Because of the improvement, the use of assembly line manufacturing, greatly shortened the construction period, and some unwanted weapons have also been discontinued, so that a little space can be freed up to produce tanks, armored vehicles, according to the needs of the previous war, there are some redundant weapons, not much use, built and a waste of money, so it is saved, large-scale unification of weapons, conducive to maintenance, bullets do not need to be made separately, unified caliber, save money." ”

Tang Tian looked at Zhi Zhuo's expression and smiled awkwardly, after all, he wanted to make so many things in the first place, the models of guns are different, the models of bullets are also different, there is a lot of waste, and the bullets are not universal, and they are very dangerous on the battlefield.

Tang Tiandao: "Don't build it, it's enough to have these, continue to build ammunition, make as much as you can, and if you have more weapons, you will be robbed and copied by the enemy, it's not good." ”

Zhi Zhuo said: "It is very difficult to imitate, even if it can be made, it will cost a huge amount of money, I have tried it with a craftsman, give the drawings and guns, let him make it, although the imitation is made, but a gun is used for two months, the quality is worrying, the barrel life is only fifty or sixty rounds, the accuracy and range are greatly reduced, and the bullet charge is a chemical explosive in later generations, they have no way to refine, even if it is filled with gunpowder, the lethality is insufficient, and the caliber of the bullet is difficult to guarantee, basically the caliber of each one is different." ”

Tang Tiandao: "Then there is no need to keep it secret?" ”

Zhi Zhuo said: "Confidentiality is still needed, but it can be relaxed a little, because it is an assembly line production, those employees are responsible for assembly, and each person is responsible for a different part, as long as they don't communicate too much together, it will be largely eliminated from leakage, so it is very important to manage separately, I am afraid of spies." ”

Tang Tian asked again: "What kind of gun did the craftsman copy?" Retracted? ”

Zhi Zhuo smiled evilly: "Early flintlock pistol!" Things were also taken back. ”

Tang Tian laughed: "It's still you bad, there is a difference of almost four hundred years between the flintlock gun and the semi-automatic rifled gun, and the gap of four hundred years is not something that can be made up in a short time." ”

Zhi Zhuo said: "That is, even if they can build it, the gap in firearms is there, and it is not something that can be simply bridged." ”

Tang Tian said again: "That guy won't leak things, right?" ”

Zhi Zhuo said: "Don't worry, Jinyiwei is monitoring the whole process, as long as he has any abnormalities, he will be arrested immediately." ”

When Tang Tian heard Zhi Zhuo say that, he put his mind at ease and thought about it, even if they could make it, what if they could make it? Is it good that weapons in different time periods have a big difference? Besides, how can an old musket compare with a tank cannon? Plus there are other advanced weapons, well, rest assured.

Coming out of the research institute, it was time for dinner, Tang Tian stepped on the point and returned to the Liaoyang Hou Mansion, just when the meal was on the table, Cai Yan saw Tang Tian coming, and immediately got up to add food to Tang Tian, Tang Tian hugged Cai Yan into his arms and kissed him first.

Cai Yan said shyly: "My husband bullies people." ”

Lan Ying'er said: "Li Su is gone? ”

Tang Tian nodded: "Let's go, do you want to leave him to eat?" ”

Lan Ying'er said: "How much do they charge?" ”

Tang Tian ate while eating: "120 million money, 600,000 stone grain, anyway, it's not a loss, why don't I go and do it, besides, when he sends the things, I will regret it, what can he do?" If you don't accept a fight, let him see the cannon of my Liaodong. ”

Lan Ying'er continued: "600,000 horses, if all of them are equipped with these tanks, rifles, and cannons, then you will be able to unify in less than a year. ”

Tang Tiandao: "Indeed, but, take your time, the thinking of this world is different, the name is not justified, and it is not stable." ”

After eating, Cai Yan moved into Tang Tian's arms, looking at Tang Tian obsessively with big eyes, Tang Tian kissed her on the forehead: "Tonight, go to you." ”

Cai Yan blushed and nodded.

Originally, Tang Tian only had one county in Liaodong, but later, Tang Tian successfully incorporated Xuansu County and Lelang County into the territory with the help of the war against Buyeo, and at the same time occupied the territory of Sanhan, set up South Korean County, and made Buyeo, Sushen, Goguryeo and other countries submit, and the royal families existed in name only, everything was under Tang Tian's control.

Hou Rui walked in in a panic: "Master Hou, there hasn't been a drop of rain in the past month, I'm afraid that there will be a drought this year." ”
