In the Western Regions, there are many workshops in the Creation Division, and Lin Ze is walking all the way to the warehouse where the R&D products are placed, accompanied by the director of the Creation Division and a group of officials.

Stepping into the warehouse, the first thing that caught Lin Ze's eye was a strange car with no wheels and a skateboard instead of wheels.

The head of the Creation Division followed Lin Ze's gaze and hurriedly explained: "Lord of the country, this thing is called a pulley, and it is a weapon specially developed by the Creation Division to transport goods in the desert. ”

"Although this car has no wheels, it is reliable that the skateboard drifts in the desert at a speed that is many times faster than the speed of a normal horse-drawn carriage. ”

Lin Ze nodded slightly when he heard this, and praised it: "Yes, according to local conditions, there is a bit of creativity." ”

Lin Ze's praise immediately made the head of the Creation Division smile.

Continuing forward, Lin Ze stopped in front of a shiny armor, looked around and asked, "Who will tell Gu, what is the situation with this armor?"

The director of the Creation Division said on the side: "The lord of the country has good eyesight, this is the latest iron fish scale armor developed by the refiners, the attack of ordinary three-grade martial artists is almost difficult to break with force, if the army can be equipped with this armor, the defense will be greatly increased." ”

Lin Ze said calmly: "Gu is not old and dizzy to the extent that he can't see whether this armor is good or not, what Gu wants to ask is, how much is the output? How much does it cost? Can it be replaced by the army in a short period of time?"

The head of the department suddenly panicked, knelt on his knees, slapped himself and said: "The minister is stupid and failed to understand the deep meaning of the lord, the minister deserves to die." ”

Seeing this, Lin Ze frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, get up first and answer Lone's question." ”

As if he had been pardoned, he hurriedly got up from the ground, bowed down and said, "Back to the lord of the country, only the master of refining can create the iron fish scale armor." A pair of iron fish scale armor requires a master refiner to spend five days and consume a hundred catties of pig iron to build. ”

"Don't hide it from the lord of the country, the entire Creation Division, there are now a total of 327 refining masters, and with the power of the Creation Division, it can create as many as 2,000 pairs of iron fish scale armor in a month. ”

Lin Ze frowned slightly when he heard this: Two thousand pairs a month, if you want to make the 400,000 army fully equipped, wouldn't it have to wait for sixteen or seventeen years?

Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "You can write down the matter of building iron fish scale armor in batches, and think about it later, there is nothing else to look at, take Gu to see the artillery you made." ”

The director of the Creation Division hurriedly responded: "The lord of the country, please come with his ministers." ”

Lin Ze always kept in mind that science is the primary productive force for social development.

When Lin Ze was planning for the independence of the Western Regions and watched the chaos in the world, he arranged for people to spend a huge price to transform sixteen small oases near Loulan into a "scientific research base" in the Great Qin version.

In order to facilitate management and improve efficiency, Lin Ze also set up a new official organization called the Creation Division.

The overall production division can be divided into two parts, one is the R&D personnel who specialize in the research and development of some things, and the other is the support of R&D personnel and logistics personnel.

In addition to being responsible for the diet and daily life of the R&D personnel, the logistics staff is also responsible for helping the R&D personnel.

The head of the Creation Division, the rank is only below the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries of the Western Qin Dynasty, which is enough to prove that Lin Ze attaches great importance to the Creation Division.

Half of the R&D personnel in the Creation Division are the children of the Mo family who returned to the Qin State, and it was Lin Ze who took advantage of his position to "collude" with Chen Ping and poached from the Great Qin Shaofu.

The other half was the doorman Hu Hai recruited before he ascended the throne.

At the beginning, in order to support Hu Hai's ascension, Lin Ze issued a recruitment order and recruited talents everywhere with extremely generous treatment.

The world is big, there are many strange people, in Lin Ze's eclectic way of recruiting talents, he has indeed gathered a lot of talents, and in the name of the guest, under the Huhai door.

These people are called Hu Haimenke, but where will Hu Hai bother to pay attention to them, in fact, Lin Ze has always been in charge.

After Lin Ze's relationship with Hu Hai broke down, he smoothly brought this part of the people to the Western Regions and used them for his own use.

A few people who refused to submit to Lin Ze's "obscenity" and refused to do things for Lin Ze, Lin Ze was not reluctant, but just let people kill them and find a green water and green mountains to bury them.

After thinking about it, it's been almost a year, and the grave grass is about a foot high.

Lin Ze came over today because he received a message from the director of the Creation Division, and the artillery that he had been thinking about was successfully developed.

As a traverser, don't you get a few artillery pieces and set off fireworks, right?

Although Lin Ze didn't remember the formula of gunpowder, he knew that gunpowder first appeared in the Fangshi alchemy fryer.

As early as a few years ago, Lin Ze figured out the gunpowder formula, and won two wars by relying on black powder.

The principle of artillery, Lin Ze, who was born in science in his previous life, said that he didn't pay attention to it at all, after all, no one knew that he would cross, right?

But this is still not a problem, the public loser can make a flying mechanical bird, and it makes no sense that the Mo family, whose technology is above the public loser, will not be able to make artillery.

Lin Ze just wrote down the idea and handed it to the master of the Mo family.

No, a few months have passed, and the Mo family has sent good news.

No matter where you are, you are powerful and powerful, and whatever you want to do, it is always convenient and fast.

Under the guidance of the director of the Creation Division, Lin Ze passed through countless workshops and came to the desert land on the edge of the oasis, where he saw the three cannons that were beginning to appear.

The master of the Mo family, who was in charge of the test and debugging, saw Lin Ze and the others coming, and hurriedly ran to the front and saluted: "Meet the lord of the country and your lords." ”

Lin Ze replied indifferently: "Don't be polite, let Gu take a look, what is the effect of the artillery you are waiting for?"

"Obey the orders of the Lord of the Kingdom," the Master of the Mo family replied, shouting to the apprentice beside the artillery, "Quick, clean the chamber, load the cannonball, and prepare to fire." ”

Several apprentices heard their master's order, one quickly cleaned the barrel, one held a half-foot diameter cannonball and put it in, and one lit a torch and was ready to light it at any time.

Seeing that Lin Ze nodded slightly, the master of the Mo family immediately shouted: "Light the fire and set off the cannon." ”

The apprentice held the torch close to the fuse, and when it was lit, he immediately crouched down and covered his ears.

I saw a black cannonball, which quickly crossed a parabola in the air and landed on the desert 1,500 meters away.

There was a loud "boom", and the sand and dust flew all over the sky and fell.

Lin Ze's body moved, and almost at the moment when the shell exploded, he came to the place where the shell fell, and saw with his own eyes a large pit with a radius of seven or eight zhang and a depth of more than two zhang, formed under the impact of the cannonball.

Then Lin Ze returned to the vicinity of the artillery and asked, "With the power of the Division, how much can artillery be produced in January?"

The master of the Mo family bowed and replied: "Return to the country, thirty gates." ”

Lin Ze shook his head and said, "It's too little, it's about the same to produce three hundred doors a month." ”

Hearing this, the master of the Mo family smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Mingjian, the artillery has just been developed, and the speed of building is really limited, and when everyone is proficient, the speed of building will naturally increase." ”

Lin Ze turned to look at the head of the Creation Division, and replied with a calm face: "This thing is in a hurry. There is a shortage of people, Lone will mobilize manpower for you, there is a shortage of materials, Lone will let people send it over, and in three months, Lone will see a thousand good artillery. ”

"The iron fish scale armor I saw before was made with five thousand pairs, and the period was also three months. ”

"Is there a problem?"

The head of the Creation Division glanced at the master of the Mo family with a bitter face, gritted his teeth and said, "Please rest assured that the task assigned by the lord will be completed within three months." ”
