402: Self-developed tanks, heading to the South China Sea
Half a year later.
With the delivery of arms orders from various places, guns and other weapons began to spread...
With the establishment of production lines purchased by big countries such as Wu and Zheng, bullets and gunpowder can be produced by themselves...
The already turbulent world was completely plunged into a terrible whirlpool of war.
The terrifying lethality of guns and the ease of use gave the common people hope of resistance.
More and more people took up guns and cannons, and launched an angry counterattack against the gentry and landlords who had oppressed them in the past.
The existence of class forces such as squires, landlords, gangs and families, for the sake of their own lives, had to take up arms.
State, county, county…….
Even remote villages have not escaped the spread of gunpowder smoke.
There are wars everywhere, smoke everywhere, artillery fire everywhere, corpses everywhere...
There have been countless troubled times since ancient times, but there has never been a time like this where the whole world has been shrouded in the clouds of war.
…
Zheng Guo.
A minister said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there is news from the arsenal."
"oh?"
When Nan Sheng heard the word "Arsenal", the ease on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a reply as if he was eating a fly: "What's the news?"
This arsenal was only established a few months ago, and its core personnel were acquired from the Liansheng Sect at a huge cost by Nan Sheng.
Because he knew very well that if he kept relying on Zuo Chongming, there would be big problems sooner or later. The sooner he could conduct independent research, the better...
There is no doubt that his thoughts, his thinking, and his actions are correct.
But reality is often more, well, cruel.
Nan Sheng later realized that what he understood as 'imitation' equipment was completely different from the actual 'imitation'...
First of all, there is the issue of materials. It is obviously an ordinary piece of iron, but it is actually made of many materials. It is simply outrageous.
The second is the manufacturing problem. Zuo Chongming’s factory actually uses modular production.
To put it simply, design is a group of people, materials are a group of people, and each workshop only produces one kind of parts, and assembly is another group of people.
The so-called talents recruited by Nansheng only designed a certain link and were not capable of creating a complete thing.
If Nan Sheng wanted to imitate a gun, a gun that was no different from the original in every aspect, he would have to recruit the entire team.
If that were the case, Nan Sheng wouldn't be so arrogant.
After all, as far as some guns and cannons are concerned, Zheng Guo is still a capable copycat.
Although it is not as good as the original in terms of quality, accuracy, and cost, it can be used at any rate.
What really left Nan Sheng at a loss was actually medium-to-large, precision equipment such as engines and machine tools.
Not to mention they copied it, they didn't even know how to do it.
This thing is not only a matter of material and precision workmanship, but it also has a fucking inscription on it???
Co-author, he Nan Sheng wants to imitate the copycat...but he still needs to find a master who studies the inscriptions and mantras carefully?
This is crazy...
After Nan Sheng understood the situation, he always felt that he had been cheated...
The more I think about it, the worse I feel.
The more diaphragmatic you feel, the more you think about it.
"Report to Your Majesty."
The minister continued: "The arsenal said that it has recently developed a large-scale killer weapon called a tank. It has guns mounted on top and can be moved and fired."
"Moreover, tanks are armored and have extremely strong defense. They are mainly used on frontal battlefields and can assist soldiers in attacking military formations."
Nan Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Oh? Really? Is there a real thing?"
"Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
The minister carefully presented a photographic stone with a look of apprehension on his face.
as expected…….
When Nan Sheng saw the actual tank, he still had a smile on his face. When he saw the thing moving, his smile faded slightly.
When he saw the slow rotation speed of the turret and the sluggish forward speed, his face had completely darkened.
This, this is crazy...
Nan Sheng reluctantly suppressed his anger and looked at these ministers coldly: "Is this turtle shell-like thing the so-called big killer?"
Everyone felt cold in their hearts, lowered their heads in silence, and shivered subconsciously.
"Okay, okay."
Nan Sheng gritted his teeth: "It's such a big killing weapon. It's as heavy as a tortoise. Even a blood coagulation realm warrior can easily dodge the bombardment, right?"
"..."
Everyone was silent, bowing their heads and being scolded.
Nan Sheng seemed to have thought of something and asked in a deep voice: "By the way, the engine is self-developed? How much does this tank cost?"
"Report to Your Majesty."
One person said softly: "The engine, the engine is... it was removed from Xiyun Mansion's car, and it costs about 1,200 yuan."
boom!
The desk shattered, and Nan Sheng couldn't hold back his anger any longer and shouted angrily: "You bastard! How can you create such a waste with 1,200 yuan of stone?"
"Your Majesty, be angry!"
There was a loud roar and everyone was worshiping...
After a while, Nan Sheng sighed: "Road construction planning, water and electricity collusion... How are these people's livelihood facilities established?"
Officials from the Ministry of Works kept asking, hesitating and hesitating: "Reporting to your Majesty, no, no... well, it didn't go well."
"Um?"
Nan Sheng's eyelids twitched and his mood became even worse.
The official from the Ministry of Industry hesitated and said: "Some people are not willing to break ground at home. If they want to go around, they will have to increase their budget, and some aristocratic families..."
"kill!"
Nan Sheng narrowed his eyes and said: "Anyone who blocks the way, those who are disobedient, those who destroy... will be killed without mercy. No matter whether it is a family or a sect, anyone who blocks the way will be killed."
The ministers were immediately frightened: "Your Majesty, think twice, this move will definitely..."
"..."
Nan Sheng's face was tense, and the fists in his sleeves tightened and tightened.
While I was angry, I also felt an indescribable feeling of powerlessness.
That’s right, it’s just powerlessness.
Until this moment, Nan Sheng suddenly understood how his father felt when facing the ministers.

There is a saying that goes well, people's joys and sorrows are not the same.
The monarchs like Nan Sheng and Nan Yun were all busy dealing with state affairs. They were so busy day and night that they didn't even have time to create humans.
And Zuo Chongming... no, it should be Ji Changyun, lying on the deck of the cruise ship, leisurely basking in the sun and drinking juice...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! (This plot is called Ji Changyun.)
Although the Nanhai Dragon Clan is in the Nanhai, it is not close to Congyun Mansion.
It took more than three months for the other party to come back with enough gold.
Next, Ji Changyun made excuses and delayed for more than a month to deal with the chores of Xiyun Mansion and Liansheng Sect.
After finishing these things, he Shiran boarded the flying boat and headed to the South China Sea with Qingwen and the Red Sea Demon King.
Since they were not in a hurry, it took them about a month to finally reach the South China Sea.
"Na."
Princess Halloween wore sunglasses and a bikini, showing off her beautiful and slender figure without hesitation, and handed him a skewer of barbecue.
The lives of monsters and humans are very different, so Princess Halloween is quite interested in avant-garde things like bikinis and sunglasses.
According to the Red Sea Demon King, Qingwen actually bought more than a hundred sets of various styles of underwear...
In response, Ji Changyun expressed his condolences.
Because he discovered that the Red Sea Demon King had obviously lost a lot of weight during this period...
Dang Dang~!
Qingwen placed a few ice cubes and said with a smile: "Master Ji, I have to say that your human race is indeed very powerful in terms of enjoyment."
"hehe."
Ji Changyun smiled nonchalantly: "How long do we have to go before we reach your Dragon Clan's territory?"
Qingwen swayed her two slender, white, straight long legs and said lazily: "At this rate, it will take more than two months."
Ji Changyun raised his eyebrows, half-smiling but not smiling: "You dragon clan escaped quite far."
"escape?"
Qingwen narrowed his eyes, as if he was not interested in this word.
Ji Changyun said with a half-smile but not a smile: "You don't think this word sounds good? How about changing it to... well, a strategic retreat?"
Qingwen glanced at him and said calmly: "Don't be so weird, we are allies now, there is no need for this."
Ji Changyun sucked on his bamboo pipe and said lazily: "Do you know that there is an old saying among humans?"
"What?"
“In order to fight against foreign aggression, we must first settle within.”
"I've heard of it."
"There is an old saying in the human race, everything depends on heaven, and everything depends on people."
"I've heard of it too."
Qingwen's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, as if she realized the meaning of these words.
"Halloween Princess, Qingwen."
Ji Changyun closed his eyes and said meaningfully: "The reason why this leader agreed is entirely for Chi Hai's sake."
Qingwen's delicate body trembled, and she subconsciously leaned forward, revealing her rich and astonishing talent. "Please also ask me, Master."
Ji Changyun looked at her like a gentleman and smiled slightly: "Haha, no rush, no rush... Everything will have to wait until we get to the Dragon Palace."
He is very aware of the dragon clan's worms. Let's not talk about their abilities, but their tempers are bigger than the others.
If you really want to use the power of the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea to stir up internal strife among the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, you must first ensure... that the Long Insect of the South China Sea is obedient.
According to his observation, Princess Halloween is a good candidate.
The Scarlet Sea Demon King has been squeezed dry recently and doesn't have the heart to think so much.
But Ji Changyun, as a bystander, could tell that Qingwen, the little female dragon, was not as shallow and nymphomaniac as she appeared to be...
Qingwen is ambitious, but she hides it deeply.
This shows that she is not very strong in the South China Sea Dragon Clan, and it also shows that she is a person who knows how to hide her emotions.
Coupled with the relationship between Qingwen and the Red Sea Demon King, Ji Changyun thought he could give it a try first.
If Qingwen really can't support the wall, it's not too late to change the plan.
Based on this idea, he deliberately gave Qingwen a hint...
"Leader, princess."
Umbrella walked out of the cabin and asked softly: "The shrimps are steamed. Should we eat them on the deck, or..."
Ji Changyun didn't even raise his eyebrows and waved his hands lazily: "I'm too lazy to move, so let's do this."
Umbrella's eyebrows were beaming, and she jumped up and down and said, "Okay, I'll bring it up right now."
Qing Wen's wonderful eyes turned around and he was amazed: "I really can't understand why you brought a little girl with you."
Ji Changyun chuckled and said calmly: "She is a rising star in our religion. This time we will bring her out to see the world."
Qingwen leaned forward and chuckled: "I suddenly discovered that you look very much like a person."
