Zhou Shu said, "Brother, does the fish that slipped through the net have a high level of cultivation?"
Mi Ziwen looked serious and said in a deep voice, "I just exchanged moves with him in the air. His cultivation level should be similar to mine, probably around the fourth level of martial arts."
Fourth grade?
Zhou Shu smacked his lips, and the fourth grade seemed quite powerful, but he might not be able to defeat him now.
If you have mastered both the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and the Golden Bell Shield, you don’t have to be afraid.
"I understand." Zhou Shu said, "Brother, don't worry, our workshop is very busy on weekdays and we don't have time to come to the city to play."
"Second brother, have you ever thought about changing the environment?"
Mi Ziwen nodded and said suddenly.
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Shu said doubtfully.
"If you are willing, brother, I can transfer you into the army, and then go on the expedition with me this time. If you can get military honors by then, and then find an official position, it will not be a big problem."
Mi Ziwen said.
As long as he takes it with him, I dare not say that it is still easy to get a fifth- and sixth-grade general.
Since ancient times, the battlefield has been the easiest place to get promoted.
In the Weaponry Division, if Zhou Shu wants to be promoted to the fifth or sixth rank, it can be said to be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Many of the principals, Xiao Zongshui and Li Hongyuan, have been in charge for decades, and in the foreseeable future, the possibility of their promotion is extremely small.
Unless Zhou Shu can become a weapon master, the present of Xiao Zongshui and others will be his future.
"It's better not to use it."
Zhou Shu shook his head repeatedly and went to the battlefield?
He never thought about it!
If you are living well in the Weapons Division, why should you not think about going to the battlefield to seek death?
"I'm pretty good at the Weapons Forging Department, and I really like the Weapons Forging."
"Okay, then I won't say anything more. Whenever you change your mind, come to me at any time."
Mi Ziwen said.
After talking to Zhou Shu for a while, he left to deal with follow-up matters.
"Haitang, can't you retire with success?"
When Zhou Shu turned around and saw Haitang still there, he was a little surprised and said.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to see you!"
Haitang did not answer, but said to herself.
She looked so angry that Zhou Shu felt a little puzzled, wondering how he had offended her.
"Da Sikong wants to see me?"
Zhou Shu said, "It just so happens that I have something to discuss with her. Where is she?"
"Follow me!"
Haitang turned around and left.
……
Zhou Shu did not expect that Yin Wuyou would be just a stone's throw away from the execution ground.
On the top floor of a tall building, she sat by the window. Outside the window, she had a clear view of the execution ground.
Zhou Shu felt secretly nervous. Fortunately, he had not exposed his strength rashly before. Even if he killed the assassin, he had done so within an acceptable range.
Otherwise, no one might be able to notice it at the time, but Yin Wuyou can definitely be seen here!
"Da Sikong, do you have anything to do with me?"
Zhou Shu came to Yin Wuyou, cupped his hands and said.
Yin Wuyou turned his head, a flash of thought flashed across his charming face, "Have you started practicing martial arts?"
"Well, General Meng gave me a few martial arts secret books. When I had nothing to do, I flipped through them casually, but I haven't learned anything yet."
Zhou Shu said that this was the answer he had prepared long ago.
"You can kill someone without any great training. Your martial arts talent seems not to be weak at all."
Yin Wuyou muttered.
"I don't know about this, but I was a little surprised that I was able to hit that man to death just now. Maybe it's because I've been working for a long time and am stronger than the average person."
Zhou Shu shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Da Sikong, isn't that why you came to me for this matter?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"No."
Yin Wuyou shook her head and stretched out her hand to push the hair back from her forehead. This simple action, but she did it with a lot of charm.
"Let me ask you, how did Workshop Zero complete the task of forging soldiers assigned to you by General Meng?"
Yin Wuyou asked.
"It's almost done, and the delivery time will definitely not be delayed."
Zhou Shu said.
"That's good." Yin Wuyou nodded, "I heard that you invented a new method of forging weapons——"
"It's not a new way to build soldiers, it's a new management method."
Zhou Shu explained, "If all the apprentices who cast weapons have mastered the corresponding casting methods, there is actually no need to use this method. I think this is just a temporary measure."
"This is an expedient measure, but it will be of great benefit to the Forging Division."
Yin Wuyou said, "I plan to promote this method in the Weaponry Division. What do you think?"
"Okay." Zhou Shu said, "Although I don't think it has much significance in casting other weapons, I can give it a try."
"I will give you a credit, okay, you can go."
Yin Wuyou waved his hand and said, "By the way, I still have use for Haitang. Let her come back to me first -"
Zhou Shu has a black streak on his head, that’s it?
Why call yourself here for such a trivial matter?
Is this a man who comes and goes as soon as you call him?
Let me go, and I won’t leave yet!
"Da Sikong, I have something to report."
Zhou Shu said.
"What happened?"
Yin Wuyou turned to look out the window at the busy soldiers on the execution ground and said casually.
"I wonder, Da Sikong, what is your purpose in establishing Workshop Zero? What is your definition of Workshop Zero?"
Zhou Shu said.
Yin Wuyou looked back at Zhou Shu strangely. Such words were not something that a small weapon-casting apprentice could ask.
No, he is no longer a weapon-making apprentice, but the workshop master.
But to Yin Wuyou, everything is the same, there is no difference.
"What do you think my purpose is?"
"I don't know your purpose, Da Sikong."
Zhou Shu talked eloquently, "But I think, Da Sikong, you set up another No. 0 workshop in addition to the 108 workshops, is it not to add another sweatshop?"
"Sweatshop?"
Yin Wuyou didn't understand what he meant, raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully.
Zhou Shu knew that he had made a mistake, so he did not say more, but responded perfunctorily, "It's similar to the previous workshop, where you work hard every month and then hand in a batch of weapons——"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"I think if this is the case, there is no need for you, Da Sikong, to build a No. 0 workshop. The existing workshop is more than enough to supply the standard weapons of the three armies of Daxia."
Yin Wuyou was noncommittal and signaled Zhou Shu to continue with his eyes.
Zhou Shu continued, "So I think that Da Sikong's establishment of Workshop Zero is definitely not just about increasing the production of some standard weapons."
"I don't know what you are thinking, Da Sikong, but as the head of Workshop Zero, I am in charge of my position. I have an immature suggestion. I hope you, Da Sikong, can consider it."
"I personally feel that the Weapons Forging Department currently lacks a dedicated workshop to research standard weapons."
Zhou Shu said calmly, "Now that Workshop Zero is being built, everything is starting from scratch. I thought, why not designate it as a weapons research institute?"
"Research institute? How do you explain the word research?"
Yin Wuyou said, trying her best to look thoughtful, but the curiosity in her eyes betrayed her.
"Research means studying the craftsmanship of weapon casting and finding ways to improve the efficiency of weapon casting, and then developing new standard weapons and even commercial weapons, including analyzing and dismantling enemy weapons, etc."
Zhou Shu explained.
Yin Wuyou nodded. These things were actually done by the Weaponsmith Division in the past, but most of them were done by the Weaponsmiths based on their own interests.
The concept of this research institute proposed by Zhou Shu made Yin Wuyou full of interest.
"You mean that Workshop Zero will specialize in the development of weapons in the future and will no longer be responsible for daily casting tasks?"
Yin Wuyou asked.
"Yes."
Zhou Shu nodded, "If we undertake daily casting tasks, it will consume a lot of our energy. Where will we have the time and energy to develop new weapons?"
"But Daxia doesn't need so many new standard weapons."
Yin Wuyou's words made Zhou Shu's next words almost aborted.
Don’t you need so many new standard weapons?
In other words, developing standard weapons is of little significance to Daxia?
Well, Zhou Shu himself had to admit that Yin Wuyou's words made sense.
After all, this is not the Earth of the previous life. Although standard weapons are important, what is more important are high-end weapons.
What determines the true strength of a country is premium weapons and standard weapons, which are just the basics.
Now Daxia's standard weapons are already the strongest in the entire continent. No matter how strong they are, what use will they have?
"You can't say that." Zhou Shu said, "Da Sikong, Daxia's standard weapon, is now ahead of other countries, but being ahead now does not mean it will always be ahead. If we stagnate, while other countries are making great strides
If we move forward, sooner or later, others will surpass us."
"With the Hundred Refined Ring Sword and the Horse-Zhancing Sword, Daxia won't have to worry for at least a few decades."
Yin Wuyou said confidently, "These two standard weapons are already the pinnacle of standard weapons!"
Zhou Shu felt helpless. He himself was not so confident, okay?
"Da Sikong, developing standard weapons is only temporary. The ultimate goal of Workshop Zero is to develop high-quality weapons!"
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't make sense. Is it possible that Her Royal Highness is really greedy for my body?"
"Pfft——"
Yin Wuyou couldn't help but laugh. When she smiled, the air around her seemed to become a little brighter.
However, she immediately realized her gaffe, immediately stopped her smile, and said solemnly.
"Workshop Zero doesn't even have a weapons division, how dare you say it's developing high-quality weapons?"
"Da Sikong, thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi!" Zhou Shu said solemnly, "Don't deceive young people into being poor. There is no weapon caster in Workshop Zero now, but it doesn't mean there won't be one in the future!"
Yin Wuyou raised the corner of his mouth and said, "We'll discuss the future matters later. At least for now, you still haven't been able to convince me."
"What if I say that every once in a while, Workshop Zero can develop a new weapon?"
Zhou Shu frowned and said, "Moreover, this new weapon will definitely not be worse than the previous standard weapons. Does this prove the role of Workshop Zero?"
"Can you guarantee it?" Yin Wuyou said, "Even a weapon maker would not dare to say so confidently. Well, if you can develop another one that is not weaker than the Hundred Refined Ring Head Sword and the Horse-Zhanning Sword,
