Chapter 144: Armament Planning

Seeing the miserable condition of these people, the soldiers who were watching shuddered, but they couldn't help but feel a little gloating about their misfortune.

These people who can be elected are all elites or generals among them. Now it is rare to see them in such a mess, so naturally they can't help but enjoy themselves.

Although it is you who will be trained later, isn't it their turn yet?

An hour later, Zhao Jin looked at the timer on the side and said, "The time is up."

All the officers collapsed on the ground, regardless of their appearance.

Yang Xu and Tang sat on the left and right, with their hands on their sides, breathing heavily, sweat still dripping down.

"You all know what's going on, right?"

"knew."

Everyone replied feebly.

Zhao Jin frowned slightly and said sternly: "Do you understand?"

Everyone was shaken by the sudden drink, "I got it!"

After letting them rest for a while, Zhao Jin raised his hand and asked them to go back to train their own soldiers.

The liberated officers jumped up from the ground and looked at the surrounding soldiers, all showing malicious smiles.

Those soldiers smiled so brightly just now, but after they started to be drilled, their faces looked so bitter.

Zhao Jin did not leave, but stood by him from time to time to correct and scold the soldiers whose postures and movements were not up to par.

After the sun sets in the west and even the beauty of dusk disappears, this training truly ends.

At this time, meal had already been served in the military camp, and the group of people were supporting each other, obviously they had no strength.

Zhao Jin found it funny, but he still asked someone to leave food for them so that they could rest enough before going over.

Time passed little by little, and the night got darker.

The candle in the study room is still bright.

Zhao Jin still hadn't rested. There were a lot of papers placed on the table. Zhao Jin lowered his head and kept scribbling and drawing with a focused expression.

Even if these soldiers can eventually be on par with modern special forces, even if the overall quality of soldiers has improved, they will only have a slight advantage.

That alone is still not enough.

If you want to have an absolute advantage on the battlefield, in addition to strong soldiers, you also need more advanced weapons.

Zhao Jin knows very well that in order to work hard on today's weapons, he must start with the materials.

Current technology can produce steel and is widely used in weapons.

But Zhao Jin carefully examined it and found that these so-called steels were just wrought iron. Calling them steel was an exaggeration.

The brush in Zhao Jin's hand kept scratching on the paper. After the last stroke was made, Zhao Jin picked up the paper and looked at it carefully.

"wrong."

He directly crumpled the paper in his hand, threw it aside, and pulled out a new piece of white paper.

The paper ball was thrown to the ground, and there were no less than ten paper balls scattered around.

Another half an hour passed, and the entire government office was silent, except for the candlelight in Zhao Jin's study.

Looking at the two fresh drawings in his hand, Zhao Jin breathed a long sigh of relief and spread them out on the table.

Pictured above are two furnaces, which are used for smelting coke and steel.

He had seen both types of stoves before.

Large factories that can smelt steel are either state-owned enterprises or have been registered. Naturally, some private transactions cannot handle these places.

Therefore, in some remote and backward places, there are many black furnaces. Although the steel smelted is not as good as that produced by regular steel plants, it is extremely advanced compared to this time.

Zhao Jin folded the drawings and said to himself: "I have to find time to go to the foundry bureau tomorrow to have a look."

After tidying up the papers on the desk, Zhao Jin paused for a moment when he got to the last piece.

I saw only two words written on it, "Explosives."

A strange color flashed in Zhao Jin's eyes, and then, as if nothing had happened just now, Zhao Jin directly rolled up the piece of paper, picked up the paper ball on it, and put them together.

He dragged a brazier over and threw all the paper balls into the brazier. The flames quickly rolled up and the white paper balls were swallowed bit by bit until they turned into ashes.

The next day, Zhao Jin stayed in the military camp for a whole morning, and after ensuring that there were no problems with their training, he handed over the afternoon training to Yang Xu, Tang and his party.

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and soon discovered that the two battalion commanders, whom they thought were cold-faced and warm-hearted, were as cold and heartless as the county guards on this matter!

In the afternoon, Zhao Jin went directly to the Foundry Bureau.

The Minting Bureau is an organization responsible for minting, smelting, etc. However, the Minting Bureau in Yunzhou City cannot mint coins. Even if it is to make weapons, its quantity must be registered with the feudal prince and the court.

As soon as Zhao Jing arrived, Ji Cheng and Shang Lin from the foundry bureau hurried over.

Jicheng is the highest official of the foundry bureau and is in charge of the entire foundry bureau.

The three officials in Shanglin are the technical officer in charge of smelting, the bell officer in charge of weapons, and the inspector responsible for supervising and inspecting the fineness and quality of the smelted weapons.

"See Lord Sheriff."

"No need to be polite." Zhao Jin's eyes wandered over the faces of the four people and asked: "Who is the technical officer?"

A man who was over 40 years old stood up and said, "Reporting to your lord, I am a technical officer."

"You stay, and everyone else can go do their own thing."

The county guard suddenly came to the Foundry Bureau, he must have something important to do. The other three looked at each other, somewhat unwilling to leave.

Looking at the face of the Sheriff, it doesn't look like a disaster. Since it is not a disaster, if I can show something in front of the Sheriff...

Zhao Jin's face turned cold and he glanced at the three of them with a warning look, "Why, didn't you hear what I said?"

"Yes, yes, I will resign immediately." Jicheng was the first to speak out and took both Zhong Guan and the Supervising Officer down.

It's a good thing to win the favor of the county governor, but if you can't distinguish the situation and annoy the governor, it's not worth the gain.

"To where iron is smelted."

Technical officers and petty officials quickly led the way.

As soon as Zhao Jin stepped into the smelting place, he felt a burst of heat.

There are about a dozen stoves built in the open space. All the stoves are in operation. Hot air comes from the stoves, causing the temperature of the entire space to rise.

However, when he saw those furnaces, Zhao Jin's eyebrows jumped and he asked, "Do you usually use these furnaces to smelt iron?"

"Exactly!" The technical officer looked a little proud, "Sir, the smelting methods in Yunzhou City are as good as those in Beijing!"

As he said that, the technical officer excitedly introduced to Zhao Jin how they smelted, "After the iron ore arrives, it will be crushed in the gravel field to the west, then transported over and put into the furnace for smelting."

"What comes out of the furnace is semi-solidified pig iron, and then after stirring, you can get steel or wrought iron!"

The technical officer guessed that Zhao Jin didn't know much about these things, so he introduced them in detail.

"After mixing pig iron, can you be sure that what comes out is steel?"

The technician shook his head, "Of course you can't. It depends on luck."
