No wonder there is a saying, "One shot of a cannon is worth ten thousand taels of gold." This cannon is too expensive.
With the current finances of Guazhou, it is impossible to build cannons.
A regular amount of money is exchanged for a few contribution points. Among the players doing business today, Sun Jianguo and Zhou Yaoguang, the two players with the highest contribution points, only turned in 500 yuan of money.
It takes ten thousand copper coins to cast a cannon.
I'm afraid Li Yan has to collect all the copper coins in the Guazhou market to cast a cannon!
The cost is too high!
Li Yan shook his head and said, "Can we use an iron cannon?"
Cui Ruoyun said: "Of course you can, but to cast iron cannons, you need to smelt higher purity steel first. Only a barrel with fewer impurities will not explode when used."
Li Yan nodded repeatedly, and Cui Ruoyun added: "I don't study mechanics. Good iron alone is not enough. At the same time, a whole set of cannon-casting techniques are needed. If you want to use iron to cast a good cannon, the manpower and material resources will not be as high.
Collect copper coins and make cannons."
Li Yan immediately asked: "If the cannon is made of iron, wouldn't there be a need for so many copper coins?"
Cui Ruoyun was stunned. She didn't expect that this was the focus of King Jianning. She nodded and said: "The iron ore in Dashuixia is of high quality. If an iron factory can be built, it will not be difficult to produce qualified steel."
"But I don't know how to cast cannons."
Li Yan immediately said: "Since Madam Cui knows so much about cannon-making, does she know any craftsmen who are good at forging cannons?"
Cui Ruoyun said: "Yes, there is, but..."
Before Cui Ruoyun could finish speaking, a game prompt sounded in her ears:
[King Jianning is thirsty for talents, help King Jianning introduce a craftsman who is good at forging cannons!]
[Player Cui Ruoyun has obtained a game test qualification. If the craftsman can satisfy King Jianning, he can receive a hundred contribution points as a reward! 】
The mission was actually triggered!?
Cui Ruoyun also didn't expect that she would start the mission just after talking to Li Yan, and it would still be such a head-pulling mission.
Thinking of his best friend who was studying for a PhD in mechanical engineering, Cui Ruoyun said confidently: "Your Highness, don't worry! The civilian girl will definitely complete the task!"
Li Yan said in a good mood: "From today on, you will be the recordkeeper of our military mansion. If you have any questions, you can report to me directly. If there are any deficiencies in the experimental materials, just contact Cui Tao!"
Cui Ruoyun nodded with satisfaction. She didn't expect that she had completed such a big task accidentally.
This makes Cui Tao extremely envious. His sister has never left the house after entering the game. She is bored in the laboratory every day, and she actually earns more contribution points than herself.
Hey, it turns out that science and technology are the primary productive forces!
After solving this problem, Li Yan returned to his military tent and said to the system:
"System, prepare to recruit new players!"
【As you wish, host.】
Nowadays, "Feng Yun of the Tang Dynasty" has a good reputation in the circle of game enthusiasts, especially in the circle of historical game enthusiasts.
There are more and more visitors browsing the game forum every day.
So this time, Li Yan simply opened the registration page on the game forum, and then asked interested players to fill in their personal information to apply for a game invitation code.
Although the players recruited from universities are generally good, Li Yan also encountered a problem. Players from these universities often need to attend classes during the day, and their online time is also unstable.
Today, Li Yan desperately needs a team of hard-core players who can stably go online!
Now the entire Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, the Uighurs and Tibetans are eyeing Longyou Road, and the haze of war is weighing on Li Yan's head.
It is already November, and when winter passes and spring arrives, the Tibetans and Uighurs are bound to launch a tentative offensive.
Li Yan needs a unit that can fight!
"Can the system manually screen players?"
[Yes, the host can filter the required players from the players who apply for registration. 】
"Very good, help me select players with military backgrounds and plenty of game time."
【As you wish.】
Li Yan looked at the system's light screen with a smile on his face, feeling quite heroic as if "all the talents in the world have fallen into my jar".
blue star.
Xu Jun is a veteran. After retiring, he worked hard and built a small family business.
When people reach middle age, they will inevitably reminisce about the past. Xu Jun had nothing to do and played an old game with a few old comrades. He was very happy conquering cities and territories in the game.
But this old game is an old game after all. Although it now has gorgeous wings and cool special effects, it still plays the same old way of attacking the sand city.
Players like Xu Jun are not the kind of players who are crazy about krypton money, and they don't find it interesting even if they are new.
I logged into the voice chat room as usual today. Xu Jun was just about to go online when he heard the voice of his comrade Lao Qin.
"Brothers, I found a fun game. Can we go over and play it together?"
"What game?" Xu Jun asked curiously.
"Do you remember Yuchi's letter?"
"Remember, the commander of the special operations company next door, didn't that guy open a fitness boxing gym after he retired from the army? I saw that he posted an opening advertisement on his WeChat account."
"That's that kid. I chatted with him last time and I heard that this guy was playing a game. It was so fun!"
"what game?"
"It's a historical war game. It's very real anyway. That guy Yu Chixin said that this game is just like the real world. You can do anything! Fight to kill enemies, lead troops to fight, there are so many ways to play!"
Xu Jun's eyes lit up. During this period, he was also a little tired of the old games. After all, they were played more than ten or twenty years ago and the degree of freedom was not high.
Hearing the strong recommendation from his comrades, Xu Jun immediately said: "Where can I download this game? Does it cost money?"
"It's free at the moment, but it's an internal test qualification. I'll give you a URL and you can fill in your personal information. I didn't contact you during the day. I've already applied for test qualifications, so I'm just waiting for you!"
"Quick, quick, send it here. If it's not fun, we'll beat up Yu Chixin!"
The comrade immediately sent the forum invitation registration URL. Xu Jun filled in the information carefully and clicked submit.
"Your information has been submitted, and we will announce the results of the test qualification draw tomorrow."
At the same time, Cui Ruoyun walked into the university's doctoral dormitory.
As a top university in the country, the accommodation conditions for doctoral students are quite good.
Single standard room with private bathroom.
What Cui Ruoyun is looking for is the cannon casting expert she recommended to Li Yan. He is deeply involved in the field of mechanical engineering, Cui Ruoyun's best friend Jian Xia!
