The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Fortunately, the Zhao army was defeated. Otherwise, these artillerymen would have been killed by these cannons." Wang Ben said coldly.

"Let's go." Wang Ben said, turning around and walking down the high ground.

There was really nothing to see in what followed. The Zhao army was completely defeated. No one took the initiative to resist. The Yan army was chasing Zhao army all over the ground.

The Zhao army of nearly 100,000 men was chased and beaten by the Yan army of only 30,000 men. Wang Ben himself did not expect this outcome.

Thinking back to the beginning, the combat power of the Zhao army was basically the same as that of the Qin army, especially Li Mu's border army. The Qin army had no way to deal with them. What happened to the Zhao army now? Wang Ben really couldn't figure it out.

Unless, the fleeing Zhao army was not Li Mu's border army. And Li Mu was probably not in the army either. Thinking of this, Wang Ben stopped and looked back.

Judging from the state of escape, it does not look like it. Could it be that Li Mu deliberately set up an ambush.

That's not right. To set up an ambush, the cost would be too great. There are Zhao soldiers running all over the place, almost 100,000 of them.

It seems that Li Mu is indeed not in the army.

As the Yan army shouted to kill, the Zhao army was completely defeated.

Naofumi had been lying in bed for several days. Although he was unconscious at the time, his body was indeed a little excited. He was like a new man after recovering from a serious illness. His whole body was full of energy.

After Naofumi designed a brand new combat vest and backpack on the bed, he felt that he should go out for a walk. Otherwise, he would be really depressed.

So, after getting dressed, Naofumi walked out of the house.

The autumn air is crisp and clear. It's a good time to walk around and bask in the sun. The first thing Naofumi should go to check out is the arsenal and the production status of artillery and muskets. He has been sick these days and doesn't know how the arsenal's production is going.

Naofumi came to the arsenal quietly. If he showed up blatantly, he would definitely be opposed by everyone. Rather than doing this, it would be better to check it out quietly.

The artillery workshop is still as busy as before. Not only do artillery have to be poured here, but also a large number of bullets have to be poured. Moreover, the bullets are still poured using earthen molds. The craftsmen are busy ramming the earth and using bamboo poles to outline the appearance of the bullets.

Profile. This process comes from the traditional arrow making of the Qin State. The difference is that one template can only make about twelve arrows, while bullets can make thirty rounds. It is also very material-saving. It’s just that the number on one template is very large.

.It took a little longer to make.

Naofumi felt helpless about this production method. He had repeatedly emphasized that iron molds could be used, but he still didn't see it.

It seems that the speed of popularization is very slow. Above the artillery, Naofumi saw iron molds, but the number used was very small, only two. The others were still made using traditional techniques. Such production efficiency was obviously not enough.

Large-scale production is needed.

Naofumi turned around and left. He came to the musket production workshop. In the workshop, the craftsmen were extremely busy. There was the sound of small hammers everywhere. Naofumi walked over and took a look. He was shocked. Many craftsmen were holding small hammers.

, the parts of the musket are made piece by piece. These parts are smaller than the parts of the crossbow, and can only be hammered out bit by bit with the small hammer in the hand of the craftsman.

"Huh." Naofumi breathed out. This kind of production model can only be regarded as manual work. It cannot be regarded as mechanized mass production at all.

After looking at the parts, Naofumi went to the bullet production workshop.

Most of the workers here are female, and they are very densely populated.

Naofumi was very worried about such a dense workshop, and it was also a place where gunpowder was intensively used.

The female workers skillfully filled the prepared paper tubes with spoons from a plate filled with gunpowder, then quickly kneaded them, then applied oil and kneaded them well. The fat used was animal oil, which must be melted at high temperatures.

To light a stove next to gunpowder is to seek death.

Naofumi looked at it and couldn't believe it. Such a thing happened under his nose.

Moreover, the female worker was obviously seeking speed. The stove was so close that it could almost ignite the gunpowder. If a large number of finished products were ignited, the casualties would definitely be huge. Naofumi really couldn't watch anymore.

Naofumi immediately strode out and found the person in charge of the workshop.

"I ask you to stop work immediately. First, evacuate all people in an orderly manner. Then, carefully take away the gunpowder. Then these damn braziers." Naofumi pointed his finger at the person in charge sternly.

"You know the power of gunpowder. If there is an explosion, you, me, and these people will all be dead. For your own life, handle this matter carefully." Naofumi stared at the person in charge and said.

"Here." The person in charge said and left to make arrangements.

Naofumi was really worried. He kept standing in the workshop and saw everyone leaving.

"That's all for today's work. I'm going to have a meeting with you in the afternoon. You have a lot of problems. You will still be paid. You can all go back and rest." Naofumi said.

Then turned and left.

My God. There are so many problems in the arsenal. It is simply a miracle that we can produce so many bullets, artillery and muskets. And there are so many potential safety hazards, but it has not happened until now. This is even more of a miracle.

Thinking of human life, Naofumi felt his heart aching. Such a society that doesn't value life and makes fun of human life. I really don't know what to do before they realize it. Naofumi thought to himself.

Arriving at Ying'er's house, Naofumi wanted to discuss the soldier's equipment, but Naofumi saw a scene.

Einger is making paratrooper boots. The soles of the shoes are made of wooden boards. A wooden board without a model of the sole of a human foot. Naofumi knows that this is a problem with the details of ancient production.

This kind of problem needs to be solved in the future after improvement. Let’s leave this point aside.

The board was very thick and the needle could not be sutured at all. So Ying'er exerted great force. As a result, the needle was bent. The needle stuck into Ying'er's hand and blood flowed out.

Naofumi really couldn't stand it anymore.

He went straight in, without saying a word, picked up the scissors and cut off a piece of cloth. Naofumi had never torn a piece of cloth open before.

Then, wipe and bandage.

"Oh my God. You actually made boots with your hands. This is simply a joke." Naofumi said helplessly.

"If you don't use your hands, what else can you use?" Ying'er said angrily.

"Sewing machine. A machine that can make clothes and shoes quickly." Naofumi said while bandaging.

"I really didn't expect that your way of working is manual. There are too many problems today. Many things are all done by hand. In this case, it is impossible to complete many things. Moreover, after all, manpower

It is limited. With machines, people can expand their various functions." Naofumi said some words that Ying'er couldn't understand.

Shang Wen did not tell Ying'er to understand. He was summarizing everything that happened today. If Qin wants to develop, it must learn to think. Think about how to save time and manpower.

This was an era in ancient China when there was never a shortage of labor force.
