What Zhao Yuan said is actually much more advanced than the current era of technology. For example, the breech loading of artillery shells is not available now, and it can be considered a relatively advanced technology. If the venting medicine is stored in the form of a medicine bag, it will be greatly

Increases the speed of cannon fire.

Of course, Zhao Yuan is worried that they will not be able to accept more technology for a while, so he has not told them the suggestions on the shells yet. After all, science and technology are still limited at this time, and the production process is also very limited. Even if some things are told

They, they can't make it.

Therefore, these secrets must not be leaked at all, especially the production process. The equipment at this time does not have so many so-called high technologies.

Mr. Liu was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, I can agree to this!"

"very good!"

Zhao Yuan praised, "In addition, the fewer people who need to know some key things, the better."

Mr. Liu nodded and said: "According to your Majesty, the best way to make the barrel of the new artillery is to use steel. This can reduce the weight of the artillery. Therefore, we decided to start with steelmaking. We also hope that your Majesty can prepare more people."

,This ensures speed,"

You must know that steel forging at this time mainly relies on manpower, so sufficient manpower is the key to steelmaking.

Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "I can arrange this! You can just do what I tell you."

…………

After Mr. Liu left, Qian Xuedao said: "Are you still planning to increase the manpower? This place is only so big. If we continue to increase the manpower, it may not be able to accommodate it."

Zhao Yuandao: "If we can't accommodate it, we must find a way. The ship is the key, and the artillery on the ship is also the key. Without artillery, the ship is a toothless wolf. Could it be that when we encounter danger at sea, the enemies we encounter are

Are you going to run away?"

Qianxue snorted coldly and said: "Our boat will be full of people by then, who dares to come?"

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said: "It's full of people. Sir Qian, I would like to ask, how many people do you mean by "full of people"? One hundred people, or hundreds of people, or as densely packed as

Is it like the chickens in a chicken farm, all crowded into a boat?"

As he spoke, Zhao Yuan pointed to the sketch of the ship on the wall and said: "How many people are on each ship must be carefully calculated. The first is how much fresh water and food the ship can carry. This is one of them.

, this food is enough for many people to consume for many days, especially fresh water. If there is no fresh water at sea, it is equivalent to committing suicide. After determining the number of people, these people must include sailors who can make the ship operate normally. In addition, we have on board

Arrange the artillery, how many people are required to operate each artillery piece, how many people support it, and the rest is to allocate other manpower, and you can’t just just put people on the ship."

Zhao Yuan crackled and said, Qianxue was stunned for a moment. Frankly speaking, she had never been exposed to this before. Of course she didn't know. In her eyes, the deck was densely packed with people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Does anyone dare to get close?

Zhao Yuan paused for a moment and said: "Other than that, who dared to come? The Japanese pirates dared to come. They dared to go deep into the territory of our court. Could it be said that they did not dare to attack several ships of your court?

, when the time comes, they will be like nasty hyenas, chasing us all the time until we are exhausted physically and mentally, and then they will choose to eat us piece by piece."

Standing up slightly, Zhao Yuan said: "Master Qian, what we are facing now is not child's play, so please be careful!"

Qianxue's face darkened and he said: "Yang Qianhu means that I am not cautious enough!"

Zhao Yuandao: "Yes, it is indeed not cautious enough. I don't know why Dongchang sent you here. At least I think that the person sent at least knows something about shipbuilding or Shenji Camp. If not,

Then this layman will be commanded by the expert. If Dongchang sends you as a supervisor, you can truthfully report the tension here every day without hiding it. If you understand, then please ask some more professional questions, otherwise

Being laughed at!"

Qian Xue was so angry that his face turned pale and said: "So what Master Yang means is that I don't know anything, and I was sent by Dongchang to supervise?"

Zhao Yuan asked, "Isn't it? If not, I wonder if Mr. Qian can give some reasonable suggestions, at least let me know that you are not just a decoration."

Zhao Yuan's crackling words really made Qian Xue a little angry. His mind became hot, and he drew his sword with his backhand and stabbed Zhao Yuan directly.

However, she felt a cold light flash in front of her eyes, and a huge shock came from her hand. She seemed to be unable to hold the shuriken steadily. She tried her luck to stabilize it, but just as she stabilized it, she found that the opponent's sword was no more than an inch away from her neck, and

He actually only had half of his sword.

In other words, the moment he drew his sword, the opponent had already completed the series of actions of drawing the sword, cutting off the sword in his hand, and then pointing the sword at his neck.

He was so fast that he didn't even see the opponent's movements clearly.

Zhao Yuan took back his sword and said: "If your kung fu is too bad, don't draw your sword in front of others easily, you will die easily!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly and walked out of the house, leaving Qianxue alone in the house.

After all, the other party is a girl. Zhao Yuan originally did not want to be too cruel to her, but the situation is different now. He must ensure that every plan he makes here is implemented smoothly. If he knows this business, it is naturally best. After discussion, he can

If you accept it, then adopt it, but the key thing is that you are afraid that people who don’t understand will interfere and affect the overall decision.

As for why Dongchang would send a woman to supervise, Zhao Yuan doesn't know this, and he doesn't want to know now, but since you are here, just act as Dongchang's eyes and honestly report what happened here.

Just go to Dongchang, just like Wang Ying!

This is also the reason why Zhao Yuan asked the rest of Yu Lang's men to set up defenses on the mountain and left the defense inside to Dongchang. Instead of secretly asking where they were, it would be better to let them keep an eye on it. Once something happens,

If secrets are leaked, neither party will shirk the blame. Since Dongchang is responsible for the internal affairs, no matter how it is said, if the secrets are leaked from the inside, your Dongchang will bear greater responsibility.

Wang Ying is not a fool, and he knows this very well.

After leaving the house, Zhao Yuan went straight to the temporary settlement of the blacksmiths. At this moment, they were already starting to build tents and the like. The house they lived in had not yet been completed.

Seeing Zhao Yuan coming, Mr. Liu came over and said: "Master Qianhu, the younger ones have already asked them, and everyone is willing to stay. If you are strict, be strict. The only hope is that if you want to write a letter home,

Please be accommodating, sir."

Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said: "You can write letters, but there is one thing. All the contents of the letters must be read."

Writing a letter at this time is like carrying a message. No one thinks there is any privacy. Besides, Zhao Yuan is not negotiating with them, but giving orders, leaving no room for bargaining.

Liu Laodao: "That's no problem. In addition, regarding the location, is it a little narrow?"

Zhao Yuandao: "I have thought about this issue carefully before you guys came, and finally decided that this location is the most suitable. You see..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said: "The beach in front of you looks relatively empty now, but in the future, several ships may be built here at the same time. By then, the materials will be piled up like mountains, and there will be no spare space at all! Secondly, what are you doing?

The place I chose is the backing. In addition, I also plan to build a city wall in front. On the one hand, troops can be deployed on it to ensure the safety of this place. On the other hand, the city wall can also block the sea breeze, so that even if there is an encounter,

In case of strong winds and waves, it will not have any impact on this place. In addition, the city wall also serves a purpose, which is to serve as a testing place for your artillery."

According to Zhao Yuan's idea, the place where the people of the Shenji Battalion are now staying is an arsenal, where they develop and manufacture the artillery and rockets needed on the ship. Therefore, it must be kept under a high degree of confidentiality. This mountain is a wall.

Under the guard of the Jinyi Guards, a city wall will be built in front of the sea. On the one hand, the city wall is to block the sea breeze. On the other hand, it can also be used as a testing ground. Whether the manufactured artillery can be used, it can be directly pulled up to face it.

Just shoot at sea, after all, there is no suitable shooting range nearby. In addition, a temporary dock can be built here. In the future, materials from the Shenji Camp can be transported directly here without the need to transfer them from outside.

In addition, a city wall will be built in the future. This wall will directly isolate the people of Shenji Camp from other boat workers to prevent infiltration.

After all, Mr. Liu and others are from the Shenji Camp. They were very strict and the disciplines were very clear in the Shenji Camp before. In addition, the family members of these Shenji Camps will be in the capital and placed together.

The Shenji Camp is under the Jinyi Guards, and will be guarded by the Jinyi Guards. In other words, if someone dares to leak anything, he can run away, but his family members cannot run away. To put it bluntly, their family members are hostages.

.

Even though they are here now, their families are still staying in the capital, so they are very aware of the consequences of leaking the secret, and no one dares to easily challenge Jin Yiwei's ferocity and patience.

But those boatmen are different. Now the imperial court does not have its own shipyard. These boatmen come from all over the world. They come from all over the world and have different backgrounds. The situation is urgent and no one has enough time to investigate the backgrounds of these people. It is very possible that among them

Mixed with fine work, no matter where the fine work comes from.

Therefore, they must completely isolate their artillery manufacturing place. The technology or blueprints for building the ship can easily be leaked. Zhao Yuan also knows that it is impossible to control this, but with a ship without artillery, this ship is like a toothless wolf.

.

Hearing this, Mr. Liu said: "It is better that the arrangements are made properly!"

Zhao Yuandao: "The specific planning, where to make iron and where to make steel, and how to arrange it here will be left to you. Then you see what can be done by you now, then let everyone take the lead and put what can be done

Do it first. If you have any needs, you can tell Wang Baihu of Dongchang. If there is no feedback from Baihu, just tell Qianhu."

"yes!"

Mr. Liu agreed.

With the nearly 200 people from the Shenji Battalion joining, the place immediately became lively. In terms of construction, Zhao Yuan also immediately adjusted the deployment of the craftsmen who originally built here, and limited the construction of the buildings they needed here.

As for the city wall, it can only be said that it will be built in the later stage. Now the limited resources are available to ensure that their accommodation and workshops will be built first.

For Zhao Yuan, time is everything. The two ships Xie Yunlou built for him were not originally designed with artillery. To a large extent, this was because Xie Yunlou's ships were not equipped with artillery. Of course, for him,

, there is no need at all. For a master like him, what impressed me most at the beginning was that he directly cut other people's ships in two with a sword. When the ship of a master like him faced Japanese pirates who also had no artillery, what else would they need?

No one dares to get close to the artillery.

But Liu Zhiqing and the others were different, so they had to be equipped with artillery. When the blueprints here were completely available, they would immediately send someone over and they would arrange for the losers to make them.

In addition, a large number of big men also arrived here quickly. Their task is to really forge iron. In the future mechanization era, the gun barrels will be made by machines. Naturally, the speed is fast and the quality can be guaranteed. At this time, we can only rely on people.

Mr. Liu originally didn't know what requirements Zhao Yuan had for the new cannon. After arriving, Zhao Yuan told him that it would require a lot of people.

For Zhu Houcong, this was a matter related to his longevity. Dongchang and Jinyiwei both provided support, and Yan Song and his son, who were deeply favored by the emperor, naturally would not stop the emperor all the time. Therefore, the materials and manpower needed here

After a steady stream of people were mobilized, considering that the boatman was still a good person for the time being, the items sent were given priority to the people of the Shenji Camp. Therefore, it didn't take long for the area where the Shenji Camp was located to start to burn black smoke. Not long after,

There was already a ping-ping-pong-pong banging sound here.

The first thing they need to do is to make a few iron rods. These iron rods must be round enough and consistent in size. When processing the gun barrel, they need to insert these iron rods into them and then beat them repeatedly.

This can ensure that the barrel is dense. Repeated beating can also expel other impurities in the barrel, making the barrel more dense.

In addition, at this time, the artillery shells were still in the shape of a ball, which was slightly smaller than the barrel. This meant that the sealing was not tight, which caused the range and accuracy of the artillery to be greatly reduced. A big reason was that there was no rifling in the barrel.
