(Second watch, third watch coming soon)
After being comforted by Li Yin, Guo Xianyuan immediately became refreshed, and Li Yin became more and more satisfied with these indigenous scientists. If coupled with the indoctrination of professional knowledge, Li Yin believed that Yizhou would definitely be able to burst forth a new era that was not inferior to that of the Western Industrial Revolution. spark.
The first percussion gun was born in Datang, and Li Yin was in a good mood. At this time, Jin Daqian and others rushed in, and Li Yin ordered: "Reward Guo Xianyuan with one hundred taels of gold as encouragement."
"Yes, this old slave has written it down!" Jin Daqian replied.
The craftsmen around the proving ground to watch the percussion gun test all gasped. This is a thousand pennies, which cannot be spent in a few years. Even Tong Yu is also envious, but when he thinks of his artillery, he is confident. Will not lose to Guo Xianyuan.
Li Yan scanned around the craftsmen, "If you can develop the things in the book by consulting the information, I will not be stingy, and I will give you the same reward."
When the artisans heard this, their hearts were filled with passion. Some artisans even went back to the laboratory to continue their own research. The King of Chengdu supported them so much, what else could they say.
Li Yan watched the craftsmen rushing back to the laboratory, smiled and said to Guo Xianyuan: "Let's start mass production of this percussion gun now, and after a while, the army will be stationed here."
"Yes!" Guo Xianyuan said excitedly.
Patting Guo Xianyuan on the shoulder, Li Yin left the research institute and went out to inspect the Iron and Steel Workshop. Ou Yewang was leading the blacksmith to forge weapons. Now the compound bows and crossbows have started mass production, and the Iron and Steel Workshop has added 30 more. Soil blast furnace and steelmaking furnace. Molten steel flows out of the furnace non-stop, and three hundred blacksmiths take turns forging weapons day and night. Armor, Li Yin waited for this batch of weapons to equip all the Yizhou soldiers.
Seeing Li Yin approaching, Ou Yewang walked out from the blacksmith, but turned back halfway, and asked several servants to take out a pair of armor from the blacksmith shop.
"Your Highness!" Ou Yewang bowed and saluted, and then asked someone to put the whole set of armor in front of Li Yin, "Your Highness, this is the plate armor in your design drawing. Now a set has been made, Your Highness please take a look."
Li Yan's eyes lit up when he saw the plate armor. Iron and Steel Workshop was responsible for the development of famous cold weapons in various periods, including weapons and armor. Although the aluminum alloy armor last time was full-body armor, it was a piece of armor.
And this plate armor is an armor that only appeared in the late period of cold weapons, and it is definitely the nemesis of cold weapons. Whether it is a bow and arrow or a sword, it can effectively resist. In the period when the plate armor first appeared, this plate armor almost dominated the war. It is recognized as the representative of the shield surpassing the spear. In the battle of the British longbow, the plate armor won.
The composition of plate armor is composed of large plates of metal. It is a one-piece armor, and it is more flexible. The only drawback is that it is too heavy, and this is also solved by Li Yin's high-strength aluminum alloy technology.
Li Yan is also a fan of cold weapons, so he nodded. Li Yin said, "Come and change it for me."
Ou Yewang ordered a few servants to put on the various parts of the plate armor for Li Yin. Arms, leggings, breastplate, including helmet, everything is available.
Combined with modern design concepts, this plate armor is more comfortable and tighter. After wearing the plate armor, Li Yan looks like a steel giant, and all parts of his body are protected by the plate armor.
"Try to slash me a few times with your knives!" Li Yin pointed to the two guards.
The two guards were stunned when they heard the words, and they didn't dare to step forward as they looked at each other. This is the sixth prince, who would dare?
Jin Daqian was even more anxious: "Your Highness, how can this be possible? In case you are injured, the princess will not skin the old slave."
"If you want to cut it down, nothing will happen." Li Yin had a helmet on his head, and the helmet completely protected Li Yin's head.
Jin Daqian still wanted to dissuade him, but Li Yin raised his fist, he immediately stood aside with his head shrugged, and said to the two guards: "Use less effort."
Ou Yewang was also very nervous, this armor was made by him, if something happened to Li Yin, even if he was thrown into a blast furnace and smelted into molten iron, it would not be able to cover his guilt.
The two guards nodded, drew out their horizontal knives and swung them at Li Yin alone, and immediately there were two dull crashes.
Li Yan stood still and did not move, "Use it, otherwise I will let you wear it, and I will chop it up."
Even though the two guards exerted their strength, Li Yin only took a few steps back, and there was no trace left on the plate armor, let alone being injured. Then Li Yin made a few difficult jumps, and again I am still very satisfied with the flexibility of the plate armor even if I roll and get up in place.
"Don't reprimand them, they did a good job!" Li Yin said to Jin Daqian with a bitter face on the faces of the two guards.
Jin Daqian immediately said: "Your Highness, are you okay!"
"What can be done with the protection of this armor?" Li Yin took off his helmet and said, and then he took off the plate armor.
Ou Yewang also secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"Speed up the production of the plate armor, Songzhou is waiting for it to be used. I guess we will have to fight a battle this winter, and the fabric inside should be thicker." Li Yin returned the set of plate armor to Ou Yewang and said at the same time.
Ou Yewang heard Li Yin say that he was going to fight, his face became tense, and he felt that he had a heavy responsibility, and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Ou Yewang will complete the task even if he doesn't eat or drink."
Li Yin nodded, and left the steel workshop, he went to other processing workshops, and then went up the hill in the middle of the valley, opposite to the military camp under construction, since Li Yin sent the tricycle to Taoyuan, the efficiency was very fast It's a lot easier, and you can see tricycles transporting materials everywhere at a glance, and the servants are also much more relaxed, and they are all smiling when they are doing their work.
But even so, the supply of raw materials is also very tight, such as iron ore, coal mines, etc., even if they are transported by these tricycles, the transport volume is not large, just like the ancient wars like to plunder the population, labor is the real precious resource .
Now Li Yin is doing a lot of construction here, and the slaves are divided into several pieces, which immediately makes him feel the pain of a shortage of manpower. So after thinking about it these days, Li Yin decided to use the slaves mainly for agriculture and land reclamation. He decided to buy some ores, coal mines, and limestone from Hyundai for the time being. Anyway, coal mines are about to be eliminated, and he only needs to buy tens of thousands of tons at one time, which is enough for Taoyuan to use for several years.
Thinking of this, Li Yin hoped that Tuyuhun would go to war. At that time, he had to capture tens of thousands of slaves and come to Yizhou. Anyway, Tuyuhun would be destroyed by Tubo sooner or later. He can also give these slaves some human rights, not like pigs and dogs.
The two sharp weapons made Li Yin feel that the gains are not small. National defense is a necessary condition to ensure stable development. Li Yin dare not relax, because politics is indeed too dangerous, and he may face war one day.
Back in Yizhou, while Shangguanyi and others were busy with the trade fair, Li Yin returned to Hyundai in the name of receiving goods. The development of Yizhou is inseparable from the support of Hyundai. things to bring back.
Li Yin did not go directly to Datang Company when he came back this time, but stayed in his villa to surf the Internet, drink tea, and look up some useful things.
Scrolling the mouse, what Li Yin was looking at was the price of the projector and how to use it. When he asked Yang Suxin to sort out the information, Li Yin asked her to go to a high-tech company to order a translator. Expressed in the language of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yin needs this to implement video teaching.
Optimistic about a projector, Li Yin placed an order, and at the same time, he began to look for information on some generators. After all, these projectors need power consumption, and for this generator, Li Yin is the main choice of diesel generators. Only this kind of generator is the easiest to operate, and those household wind generators and the like are not yet suitable for use.
Choosing a brand product, Li Yin bought ten generators at one time, one of which is close to 10,000 yuan, and these ten sets are 100,000 yuan, plus the corresponding number of projectors, it is also a lot of money.
With the generator, some small electrical equipment can also be taken home. This is what Li Yin is looking forward to. The use of electricity is still quite large.
After buying these things, Li Yin left the villa and went to the city, planning to buy some small things to bring back, such as snacks and the like.
Now Li Yin lives in the Tang Dynasty most of the time, and sometimes he feels a little strange and unaccustomed when he comes back. Sitting in the car or walking on the road, he seldom talks to people, for fear that someone who doesn’t pay attention to the word "my king" will give Biao a word. Come out, then it will become a joke.
Arriving at the subway station, Li Yinzai was almost pushed away by the flow of people, and then pushed into the subway again. He couldn't help feeling that there were still many people here, not as empty as it was in the Tang Dynasty.
After a stop, there were many people, so Li Yin quickly found a seat and sat down. He was surprised that he hadn't let go of the instinct to grab a seat. As soon as he sat down, a person in his forties sat next to him. , holding the phone in his hand, sweating all over his face.
"Mr. Wang, please believe in our product. It's just that many people don't know about this product. As long as it is widely promoted, it will definitely sell well."
The subway door closed, and the middle-aged man seemed to have dialed a certain number, pleading to the person on the phone.
"Those ordinary diesel generators can't compare with our generators. Haven't you seen it? Your sudden withdrawal of capital has made our company unable to survive now. Now the wages of employees have been delayed for several months. I If you really can't stand it, you can help me based on your past friendship, hey...hey...Mr. Wang!"
The phone on the other end seemed to be hung up. The middle-aged man held the phone for a long time, and his face was full of bitterness.
"Sir, can you tell me about your generator?" Li Yin, who was sitting on the side, said.
