230, Western Regions
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
“.”
Zhang Qi waved his hand casually: "You go on, I'll take a look casually." ”
He came here to see the scientific research results of the world, and he didn't need to mobilize the people.
The Institute of Materials is the cornerstone, and only when suitable materials are researched here can Zhang Qi continue to lead the times.
Walk through a corridor.
The temperature in the air has become much warmer.
This is the Metals Research Department, which is used to study and record the ratio of alloys.
Most of the research on bronze, lead, iron, and steel was carried out here.
In the beginning, the presiding officers were a few blacksmiths brought in from the outside world.
Now it's the best of the people they've brought out.
Decades of development have not been in vain, and the ratio of various alloys that can be used has been recorded as forty or fifty.
There are now as many as five or six subdivisions of steel, and none of them are used to make up the numbers, but they can really play a role.
Of course, this is not comparable to later generations, but it can be regarded as laying the foundation of materials science.
The development of human beings is the development of materials, and this is important.
In addition to all kinds of metals, the most important thing that the Metal Research Department can do is the tall blast furnace in the center, which is nearly 20 meters high, which is no different from the blast furnace that can be seen in later generations.
With a wide mouth, a narrow waist and a curved belly, it is able to smelt most of the world's metal ores through wind heat enhancement at a controlled temperature.
This blast furnace is one of the works accumulated over time, from the time Zhang Qi came to this world, sending away a generation, the result of 120 years.
On the blast furnace, Hu San's name is engraved in the first row.
Zhang Qi personally engraved it.
The data of this blast furnace is very detailed, and several have been built in the vicinity of the Xianbei mine, smelting steel day after day, providing Zhang Qi's army with the best quality steel weapons, as well as transporting building materials and metal fittings.
There are many departments similar to the metal research department in the Materials Research Institute, and Zhang Qi glanced at them one by one.
Outside the Materials Research Institute, Zhang Qi rode a hot-blooded horse alone, and NPC horses have an advantage, that is, they will not pass with the passage of time.
And those imperial military horses that were once used for breeding have long since turned into a handful of loess, and those who can remain in this world are their descendants.
The sound of horses' hooves ticking.
School.
Library.
Agricultural Institute.
Institute of Hydraulics, Wind Power.
Weapons Research and Manufacturing Institute.
There are all kinds of buildings, and Zhang Qidu went in to take a look.
These are his hole cards.
will shine in the outside world.
——
"Uncle."
Huo Quzhi lowered his head.
Wei Qing's face was very pale.
I thought it was a big victory, but I didn't expect to be put on a show by the Huns in the end.
The number of dead in the battle was as high as 5,000, the number of wounded was more than 10,000, and the number of people who fled in the rout was even more numerous.
The army of 100,000 when it came, now there are less than 100,000 left.
Moreover, the generals Li Guang and Li Kang died in battle, as well as Gongsun Ao, who has not been heard from until now, as well as many captains.
And the results obtained are only the heads of more than 4,000 Xiongnu counted after the war.
For the first time.
Wei Qing felt powerless.
Looking at the corpses of the soldiers who were carried together, Wei Qing frowned slightly.
With his understanding of Liu Che.
The outcome of this battle is certain.
He will not be guilty.
You may even get promoted.
Because Liu Che will defeat this one.
It becomes a big win.
to get the results he wants.
"Your Majesty, this time. Minister. I'm scared."
Raise your head and face the dazzling sun in the sky.
Wei Qing closed his eyes in pain.
The cavalry.
The ghostly cavalry.
Tall horses.
Bow horses are skilled.
Comes and goes like the wind.
No amount of praise was enough to erase the jealousy of them in Wei Qing's heart.
Earlier, he led the army back to help.
They were still halfway there, but they were already in their backs, and what a swift soldier they were.
"Uncle."
Huo Quzhi noticed that Wei Qing was a little abnormal, and spoke up again.
Wei Qing glanced at him and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Sick boy, this time, we are defeated."
"Uncle, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and we still have a chance."
"Difficult!"
"Before we can think of a way to restrain that cavalry, we can only retreat within the Great Wall like we did in the previous decades, and how difficult it is to fight out the grassland!"
"There's always a way, uncle."
Huo Qu was ill for a long time and did not speak.
At that last glance, he could see how difficult the cavalry was.
Not to mention that you can't catch up, just the fluency of the order ban, and the attack power that exceeds the Huns by several times, the complete enhanced version of the Huns, and it has been strengthened several times, how can this be fought?
However, it is still necessary to have a hard mouth, at least not directly to fight spirit.
"Perhaps."
Wei Qing's face improved slightly, he just felt a little weak before, but if he wanted to lose his fighting spirit, this was far from enough.
"The grassland is not safe, let everyone cheer up, let's go home first!"
"Go home!"
"Go home!"
In a big defeat, there are no words that can mobilize the emotions of these defeated troops more than the word home.
Wei Qing rode on a horse, looking at the high slope from afar, and was silent for a long time.
Day 3.
The Han army was already on its way home.
Zhongjun, Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Gongsun He, and Li Ze walked side by side.
Thinking about it these days.
Wei Qing felt more and more strange about that cavalry.
"Where did they get so much iron?"
Each arrow recovered from the dead and wounded was carved out of a mold, and the weight, length, and shaft of the arrow were very neat in every place.
The arrows of the Huns were completely different from those of the Huns.
"And the horses!"
Gongsun He also added that Wei Qing and the others just passed by that cavalry, but he was really attacked head-on once.
If it weren't for the frame Cheeduo beside him, he would probably end up in the same fate as Li Guang, after all, in the decisive battle with the Huns, these main generals had already rushed to the forefront to boost morale.
"I've never seen those horses before, could it be that they came from the Western Regions?"
Li Ze asked.
"You mean Wusun is arrogant?"
Wei Qing frowned.
"It should not only be the Western Regions, if there is such a craft in the Western Regions, then the Huns will not be able to take them, maybe there are traitors on our side, and there are princes who have mastered this craft to hide their collusion with the Huns, otherwise the Huns and the Western Regions alone will not be able to create this kind of arrow!"
Wei Qing held an arrow in his hand.
Heavy arrows, arrows almost a quarter the size of the palm of his hand.
The arrows have a metallic sheen and are regular, without a single pothole.
This kind of manufacturing process has surpassed the craftsmen of the Han Dynasty, and even Wei Qing's own saber has many small pits, and this is the saber that Liu Che personally gave him.
"Collect all the arrows and bring them back to let Your Majesty decide, in short, everyone, the threat level of that cavalry has exceeded that of the Huns Shan Yu headquarters, if we encounter it next time, it will be difficult for us to wait for no countermeasures!"
