Hearing Mr. Ma's inquiry, Luo Zhang glanced at him and said, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. Just do your own thing!"

Being stared at by Luo Zhang, Mr. Ma suddenly trembled and hurriedly bowed and said: "You have overstepped your bounds. I hope you will atone for your sins!"

"Okay, please pay attention in the future. These three built high-sea ships can be delivered to Liu Renyuan first, so that they can be used to train soldiers first. There is no rush to install weapons and other things. It will not be too late to install them when they actually go to sea!" Luo Zhang warned.

road.

"Yes, sir!"

"By the way, sir, we have made some modifications to the long-sea ships we have built since then. Come and take a look!" As he spoke, Mr. Ma walked forward, followed by Luo Zhang.

When he came to the newly built high-sea ship, Luo Zhang was stunned. He saw that the bow of the ship, which was originally a square shape, was now transformed into a triangular arrow by Mr. Ma. This look very much like the ships of later generations.

Boat, if Luo Zhang hadn't known that Mr. Ma was from the Tang Dynasty, he would have thought that he was also from a later generation.

At this time, I heard Mr. Ma introduce: "This ship was modified by us based on the ships of the big food country. It has been tested by General Liu Renyuan and it is completely fine. Not only is there no problem, its speed is faster than the first ship."

It is much faster and more stable. Unlike the ships of the big food country, if they encounter strong winds at sea, they are in danger of capsizing. This newly renovated long-sea ship is not in danger. As for the first one, we have also remodeled it.

!”

"That's right, that's right. Mr. Ma has used his brain. Your transformation is quite good. You should be credited with a meritorious service. Remember to send someone to Zhao Tianhu to get the reward. Each person will receive a reward of ten taels. As for you, you will be rewarded fifty taels!"

Luo Zhang waved his hand and said.

Hearing that there were so many rewards, Ma Lao suddenly smiled and hurriedly bowed to Luo Zhang and said, "Thank you for the reward, sir. This is what we should do!"

Luo Zhang didn't have time to listen to this old guy's nonsense. After boarding the ship and inspecting it, he left the shipyard with satisfaction and rushed to the next destination, the ferrosilicon mine.

Luo Zhang went there not to see the mining, but to see how the artillery was being built.

Before leaving, more than thirty artillery pieces had been built, and the speed was not bad. Luo Zhang gave the craftsman one month to build a hundred cannons, and he thought it should be completed by now.

When Luo Zhang came to the ferrosilicon mine, it was the same as when he left. Carriages were queuing up for inspection, coming in and out. These carriages were pulling iron ore, which was used for refining and adding silicon.

Iron, refined into steel, used in the construction of artillery.

Luo Zhang's arrival naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers, who rushed forward to greet them. Some of them went to the mine to report that it was Chen Kuifeng's wife who was stationed at the mine. Coming to Fengyi, it was not that Luo Zhang did not want to send strong hands.

Stationed, but he didn't have many people on hand, and Lai Fengyi was not stationed for a long time, but Chen Kuifeng and Wu Shaobin were only occasionally stationed.

After getting through, Lai Fengyi came to the gate immediately and greeted Luo Zhang personally.

Luo Zhang doesn't pay much attention to it, but the people below insist on doing so. After all, his identity and status are not the same as before. Even people he knew in the past would not dare to make mistakes in front of him.

Every time, they were all respectful, which made Luo Zhang helpless.

By standing tall, others will unconsciously develop a sense of awe towards you and be afraid of offending you. This kind of thing is inevitable.

Under the guidance of Lai Fengyi, Luo Zhang went straight to the weapons workshop and first took a look at the manufacturing situation of the weapons. Nowadays, the manufacturing of weapons has formed a set of assembly line-like operations, and the manufacturing speed is much faster than before.

This is also the result of Luo Zhang's guidance. If it is built as before, it will be good to be able to build a steel sword in one day, let alone those armors that are more difficult to build.

But now, the weapons workshop is not making steel swords, but mainly Mitsubishi thorns and shovels. It is a top priority for these things to be assembled into the army on the expedition to Gaoguli, so naturally they have to step up their production.

As for swords, steel swords can only be equipped for officials above the rank of captain. It is a bit luxurious for soldiers to use steel swords.

After watching the weapons being made, Luo Zhang encouraged him and asked Wu Shaobin to tell Zhao Tianhu that no one of the craftsmen here would reward him with ten taels of silver, and then he left not far behind with the countless thanks from the craftsmen.

The artillery manufacturing workshop.

The area here is much larger than before. It is surrounded by high earth walls, which only serve as a shield to prevent people from seeing the situation in the artillery workshop.

After all, artillery is an extremely confidential thing. Its level of secrecy is higher than that of gunpowder. Even if gunpowder is known to others, it will only create wooden lumps. Luo Zhang has a more powerful formula, which can completely use the stolen wooden lump formula.

It's a comparison, so Luo Zhang doesn't care.

But artillery is different. If this thing leaks out, it will be a weapon for siege of cities and naval battles. Today's city walls are afraid of being bombarded by artillery for a few rounds before they collapse, and that only uses iron ammunition. If large iron ammunition is used,

After igniting the knots, they blasted them out, fearing that a single volley would collapse the enemy's wall and cause heavy casualties.

Not to mention placed on a ship, a single salvo can blow the enemy's warship into pieces.
