After listening to Song Yingxing's cry, Li Chen finally understood what was going on.
He said dumbfounded: "So it's you who are worried about this."
"Don't worry. I know the difficulty of this thing very well, so I will not force you to conjure a large number of Great Qin Divine Thunder. What I said to Huang Jitian before was just to scare him. He
I don’t know whether I’ve been fooled or not, but you were fooled first.”
Song Yingxing felt like he was reborn after hearing this, and immediately asked: "Then what kind of second-generation version of research and development did your Highness get before..."
"They are also deceiving people."
Li Chen waved his hand and said: "The most important thing for you now is to speed up production. As for the subsequent optimization and upgrading, it can be postponed for the time being. What is needed now is quantity, and quality is not so urgent."
Song Yingxing smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Your Highness, this item requires extremely high technical skills, so there are not many craftsmen who can do it. Even if they work non-stop, they can only make about three to four a day, and no more can be made."
.”
"Find someone else."
Li Chen said decisively: "You tell Dongchang your specific requirements, and Dongchang will find people from all over the country. And you craftsmen, don't you also have your own circle? You can find teachers, brothers, friends, fathers and sons who are familiar with you.
, as long as qualified people can be found, both the recommender and the recommended person can receive rewards.”
Speaking of this, Li Chen knocked on the table.
Sanbao immediately walked in from outside.
"You will cooperate with Song Yingxing in handling this matter. All the standards set by Song Yingxing shall prevail."
Sanbao immediately responded respectfully.
Li Chen looked at Song Yingxing, thought for a moment and then said: "You are not suitable to stay in the Ministry of Industry now."
Song Yingxing was stunned, and he subconsciously said: "No, we are very good at the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry has ready-made workshops and tools, so there is no need to bother."
Sanbao raised his eyebrows and reminded: "His Highness is considering the overall situation. Lord Song just obeys the orders."
Song Yingxing finally regained his composure and hurriedly said to Li Chen: "But it depends on His Highness's orders."
"To the royal hunting grounds."
Li Chen said: "The workshop can be dismantled and rebuilt in the royal hunting ground, and the tools can also be moved there. It is secluded and the place is large enough to be used by additional manpower in the future."
Li Chen told Sanbao: "Let Dongchang handle this matter, the sooner the better."
With the successful development of guns and grenades, the strategic status of this team of craftsmen led by Song Yingxing will become higher and higher, and Li Chen must make special arrangements.
To put it bluntly, he doesn't trust people from the Ministry of Industry.
Intellectuals are treasures, and this principle is universal at all times.
Li Chen must not let anything happen to Song Yingxing's side. Their existence is worth thousands of troops.
"How many guns have been produced?" Li Chen asked.
Song Yingxing counted all his family treasures and immediately replied: "There are seventy in total, with two thousand rounds of ammunition."
Li Chen nodded.
This efficiency cannot be said to be fast.
But now, both guns and ammunition are completely made by hand. Even the extremely fine parts such as rifling can only be done by Song Yingxing himself, so this efficiency is considered to be the best possible.
"The number of guns is almost there. You can put them aside for now. In the past few days, you should try your best to make more Great Qin Divine Thunder. I will be of great use. I need to make fifty of them within three days. Can you do it?"
Song Yingxing's face turned miserable. It was obvious that the production pressure was extremely heavy.
But after thinking about His Highness's trust and support for him, Song Yingxing still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I will definitely complete the mission."
