I'm a scumbag

Chapter 284 Total War
Hearing that Ning Chen had another way to make money, Wu Ang immediately became interested.

"Brother Ning, what do you want to take care of me?" Wu Ang asked Ning Chen with a flattering expression.

Ning Chen didn't answer Wu Ang's question first, but asked Wu Ang a question first: "If you only talk about manufacturing ability, which one is stronger, the craftsmen under your hand or the craftsmen under the Wu family?"

Although Wu Ang didn't know why Ning Chen asked such a question, he just answered truthfully.

"Where do you look at this, if you talk about building a house, making some household and agricultural utensils and so on.

I definitely can't compare with the Wu family.

But if it is in other aspects, the craftsmen under my hands may not be worse than those of the Wu family.

Don't look at you giving the Wu family the manufacturing of the holy way, but the craftsmen under my hands are not vegetarian. "

There is indeed no bragging about Wu Ang.

Just look at the factories under Wu Ang's hands, which produce tents and air mattresses on a large scale.

The manufacturing ability under Wu Ang's hands can be seen.

"If you only look at the ability to manufacture weapons, which of the two of you is stronger?" Ning Chen singled out one question and asked.

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Ang frowned and asked: "Brother Ning, you plan to make weapons and sell them to the imperial court. What kind of weapons are you going to make, if they are ordinary weapons. The profit is too low..."

Ning Chen interrupted Wu Ang and said, "You answer my question first?"

Wu Ang said: "The Wu family is not proficient in making weapons, after all, such things are more taboo.

There is really no need for the Wu family to put more effort into this.

The craftsmen under my hands are relatively proficient.

But really speaking, the best weapon maker is the Inner Court Manufacturing Department in the imperial city. "

This is similar to what Ning Chen thought.

Originally, Ning Chen planned to bring Wu Zhizao into this matter.

But Ning Chen thought about it later, and felt that if Wu Zhizao was brought in, not only might he not be able to help, but it might even harm Wu Zhizao's family.

Things like weapons have been very taboo since ancient times.

If you want to tell ordinary people, it’s okay to use a kitchen knife and ordinary ironware.

But to build weapons, you must use official approval.

If there is no approval document, it will cost you your head.

Although the Wu family is indeed very powerful in manufacturing.

But the Wu family certainly doesn't have the background to commit such a taboo.

That's why Ning Chen thought of bringing Wu Ang in at first.

This is the country of the Wu family, Wu Ang will not commit too many taboos when doing this.

What's more, if these weapons are still sold to the court after they are manufactured, there will be no taboos at all.

"Brother Ning, don't be a fool. Tell me what kind of weapon you plan to use first, and I will analyze it for you to see if it is profitable." Seeing that Ning Chen was still thinking alone, Wu Ang endured Can't help but ask urgently.

"I plan to make a cannon." Ning Chen said.

"cannon?"

"What is a cannon?"

Wu Ang and Yun Xuanzi were very confused about this thing.

Because this weapon is the name of a weapon that the two of them have never heard of before.

"Brother Ning, what is this cannon?" Wu Ang thought hard to no avail, so it is better to ask Ning Chen directly.

Anyway, Ning Chen must know the answer.

Ning Chen took out the paper and pen, and prepared to draw a cannon on the paper.

But when Ning Chen was about to write, his wrist froze all of a sudden.

But then, Ning Chenfu went to his heart, and directly motivated by the awe-inspiring righteousness, he simply drew the appearance of a cannon on the paper.

Of course, what Ning Chen painted was not the modern cannons and howitzers.

These Ning Chen also can't draw.

What Ning Chen painted was the simplest kind of cannon in ancient times.

The structure of this cannon is very simple, just the base and the cannon body, nothing else.

There is nothing more than spiral rifling inside the gun barrel, which is not difficult.

On the contrary, those electronic artillery of later generations are much more difficult.

Don't say that Ning Chen can't draw, it's because Ning Chen has drawn it.

Wu Ang and the others couldn't do it at all.

This kind of ancient cannon was completely sufficient in the Wu Dynasty.

After Ning Chen's cannon was finished, the holy light suddenly burst out,

Thousands of holy lights emerged from the paper.

Wu Ang and Yun Xuanzi looked at the scene in front of them.

All were stunned.

"Is this drawing something recognized by the Holy Dao?" Both of them were very interested in what Ning Chen drew.

Ning Chen never thought that he wanted to draw this cannon.

It even attracted obstacles to the Holy Way.

Fortunately, he has military skills, so Ning Chen directly used the military skills to forcefully write.

With the appearance of this cannon, Ning Chen obviously felt that his military skills had been broadened a lot.

At the same time, one cannon after another appeared on Ning Chen's path of war.

Ning Chen felt that as long as his Baijiadao could reach the second rank, he could mobilize these cannons.

When Ning Chen was comprehending the art of war.

Wu Ang and Yun Xuanzi rushed forward immediately after the light had dissipated.

I want to see for the first time what miraculous things Ning Chen has drawn.

Just looking at the things on the paper, Wu Angyun Xuanzi was stunned.

The two stared at each other, completely unaware of the power of this thing.

I don't even know how to use this thing.

"Brother Ning, I will make this thing according to your drawing, so it can be used?" Wu Ang asked Ning Chen.

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "Of course not, this is just a launching platform.

Next, we need to add gunpowder, and then we need the cooperation of Daoist Master Yun Xuanzi.

Make some, powerful shells. "

"What is gunpowder?" Wu Ang continued to ask in confusion.

Ning Chen explained: "The inspiration of gunpowder can be regarded as the inspiration given to me by the Yin Yang family among my hundreds of families.

Because those alchemy masters in Baijiadao would fry the furnace occasionally when refining elixir.

I've researched the problem with their fryer.

It is because there is a problem with the ratio of the ingredients of the elixir, so it will fry the furnace.

Then I thought, if the ratio of these fryer materials is used in war, it should have a very big effect.

However, if it is just the power of a pure fryer, it is not easy to control, and at the same time the cost is very high.

In addition, the power is actually very limited.

So after a lot of research, I invented gunpowder. "

Well, the above stories are completely nonsense made by Ning Chen himself.

Anyway, things like alchemists blowing up furnaces often happened in Wu Dynasty.

There is nothing wrong with Ning Chen directly applying it mechanically and applying it to himself.

After Wu Ang heard Ning Chen's words, his eyes sparkled.

"Brother Ning, you are really a genius. How come I never thought of such a good idea."

"Brother Ning, if this thing can really be used in a war, it will definitely become a big killer that changes the direction of the war!"

"Brother Ning, based on this, you are not only a great hero of our Wu Dynasty, but also a great hero of our entire human race!"

"Your contribution is really great!"

Yun Xuanzi was somewhat annoyed in his eyes.

Yun Xuanzi's annoyance, of course Ning Chen understood what was going on.

Because things like frying furnaces happen from time to time in their Taoist sect.

But they never thought about how to use the fryer.

On the contrary, Ning Chen, an amateur, first thought of a way to use it.

Let Ning Chen become a great hero of the human race.

"Daozhang Yun, although there is no problem with gunpowder, the power of gunpowder itself is not enough to harm monsters or barbarians.

Therefore, gunpowder can only be used as an introduction, and what is inside the shell is the key.

Daoist Yun’s cannonball can only be made by your Taoist sect.

I plan to ask you to make a batch of cannonballs mainly based on talismans.

Of course, if you are a Daoist, there is still something that is easy to activate, but powerful spells can be engraved on steel, that's not impossible. "

As soon as Yun Xuanzi heard this, he immediately said: "We have plenty of such talismans and spells in our Taoist sect. Our Taoist sect has taken over this matter."

Wu Ang stared at the appearance of the cannon, frowning tightly.

After watching for a while, Wu Ang said: "Brother Ning, the real power of your cannon should not be the only one, right?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Of course these are not its biggest features."

"Then what is its biggest advantage?" Wu Ang asked.

Ning Chen said: "Its biggest advantage is that it can hit very far."

"How far?" Wu Ang asked.

Ning Chen said: "I really can't answer you about this. We can only talk about this after you have produced the thing."

After a pause, Ning Chen said: "However, I can say conservatively that the attack distance should be at least about ten miles."

"Ten miles!"

Wu Ang and Yun Xuanzi gasped when they heard the attack distance given by Ning Chen.

Among all the cultivators, except for the third rank and above, they can attack regardless of space distance.

Below the third rank, with the help of weapons, it is rare to be able to reach the attack distance of ten miles.

"Such an attack distance, isn't it comparable to a third-rank!" Wu Ang said with emotion.

"It's just the attack distance. If you want to talk about power, it's far from the real third grade.

It is still possible to carry out long-distance strikes, consume most of the cannon fodder, and disrupt the opponent's offensive formation.

It is really difficult to kill the leader of the opponent. "

Regarding this point, Ning Chen's understanding is still very clear.

Artillery can't really end a war.

Take the Yaozu as an example, the Yaozu are all rough-skinned and thick-skinned.

It is very resistant to fighting.

Even if it is combined with the talismans of the upper Taoist sect, the ones that can effectively kill and wound should be below the fourth rank.

After listening to Ning Chen's analysis, Wu Ang said indifferently: "Don't we still have Daoist Yun's talisman? Let Daoist Yun and the others make some talismans that can kill the third rank, wouldn't it be enough? "

Ning Chen said: "It's not that I haven't thought about this issue. But the talisman that can kill the third grade, the cost will not be small?"

Yun Xuanzi nodded and said: "The cost of construction is indeed very high, the key is that there are a lot of materials, and it is very difficult to gather together."

Ning Chen nodded, and continued: "The cost is so high, it's still difficult to get the materials together.

This is completely unnecessary.

Because once the shell leaves the artillery, it is difficult for us to control the position.

Instead of firing one counterfeit and expensive shell, it is better to shoot one hundred cheap but practical shells. "

In the end, Ning Chen concluded: "It's still the same sentence, the real function of artillery is not to really end the war.

It is to destroy the opponent's artillery fire as much as possible and divide the opponent's formation.

In the end, it is the practitioner who plays the decisive role. "

This is the difference between the extraordinary world and the non-extraordinary world.

In a world without practitioners, artillery is the means of summing up wars.

In this world with practitioners, the role of artillery is more to contain and assist.

"Anyway, this is a cross-age killer. Brother Ning, please draw the blueprint as detailed as possible, and I will let my subordinates do it.

In addition, shells and gunpowder, you also give them all to me, and I will make a batch of finished products as soon as possible. "

Drawings are not difficult for Ning Chen.

After all, it is only the oldest artillery. For Ning Chen, who has been a military fan since childhood, it is really not too complicated.

Ning Chen quickly drew and wrote the ratio of artillery, shells and gunpowder, and handed things over to Wu Ang.

Wu Ang reached out to take the things, and then carefully put them away.

"Gunpowder must not go wrong, and at the same time must avoid fireworks and high temperature. In addition, all the people who make it can only wear cotton products.

This thing must be careful, careful and careful.

Once it explodes, you can refer to the power of the pill blaster. "

Wu Ang said: "Don't worry, I will personally watch this gunpowder. I will never let it make any mistakes."

Ning Chen nodded, and then told Wu Ang: "After you finish the shells, hand them all over to Daoist Yun and the others to engrave or insert runes."

Wu Ang glanced at Yun Xuanzi and said, "I will send someone to deliver it to you when Taoist Master Yun arrives."

Yun Xuanzi nodded: "Okay."

After everything has been implemented, the next step is the distribution of benefits.

"I alone account for [-]% of the profit of this weapon, and the two of you each account for [-]%. Do you have any objections?"

Of course Yun Xuanzi and Wu Ang would not have any objections.

It doesn't matter that Ning Chen is neither involved in manufacturing nor selling.

But this blueprint was given by Ning Chen.

Without Ning Chen, they wouldn't be able to make any money.

So Ning Chen monopolizes [-]%, and the two of them have no objection.

As for Wu Ang and Yun Xuanzi each accounted for [-]%.

The two also have no opinion.

Although Yun Xuanzi did not participate in the manufacture of artillery, Yun Xuanzi and the others guaranteed and provided the power of the artillery.

Ning Chen thought of something again, and reminded Wu Ang: "Control the cost well, don't buy a cannon, just get tens of thousands of taels.

If this is the case, your imperial sister will even want to buy more.

It also does not have the financial resources.

At that time, if you pay us on credit again, we will be in trouble.

So you control the cost from the source and control it for me. "

"Don't worry, I will definitely control the cost to the lowest." Wu Ang assured Ning Chen.

Ning Chen stayed here with Wu Ang for a night of rest, and the next day Ning Chen gave Wu Ang the money he promised to lend to Wu Zhao.

Let Wu Ang arrange someone to send it to Wu Zhao.

Then came the manufacture of the cannon.

After Wu Ang left.

In the following period of time, Ning Chen was rarely quiet here.

Fang Xiong practiced the soldiers and horses of the two military towns and Baijia City every day.

From time to time, I took them to clean up the surrounding tribes.

In Fang Xiong's words, these soldiers are too weak, just lack of training.

Of course, for a general like Fang Xiong, these Huwei troops are still very convinced.

Ding Guohou's top general must have a double guarantee of ability and strength.

Ning Chen didn't care about Fang Xiong.

Ning Chen was mainly staring at Little Fat Dragon's Shenlongwei.

All the Dragon Guards were sent out by Ning Chen to inquire about the Wan Yao Kingdom.

With the cover of the identity of the monster clan, these dragon guards are still very quick to inquire about the news.

Every three days, Ning Chen asked them to report intelligence and information to himself.

After half a month in a row, Ning Chen found that the Wan Yao Kingdom was surprisingly quiet.

This made Ning Chen feel a little uncomfortable.

Killing the son of the tycoon of Wan Yao Nation by himself made the interior of Wan Yao Nation so quiet.

This in itself is very unusual.

Coupled with the problems in the commercial town and their rations in the future.

Ning Chen guessed that Wan Yao Kingdom is definitely brewing a big plan.

In fact, Ning Chen's guess was also correct.

The Wan Yao Kingdom is planning a full-scale attack.

A plan for a large-scale offensive against the four northern states.

Leading the way is the Tiger King lineage.

The lineage of the Tiger King invited all the kings of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.

Faced with Tiger King's invitation, even the other giants of Wan Yao Kingdom sent people to the meeting.

What Tiger King told everyone was very simple.

A series of human actions have seriously threatened the living space of Wan Yao Kingdom.

The current Wan Yao Kingdom must either fight back or wait for death.

In fact, there is obviously a third option.

The third option is surrender.

It's just that Tiger King didn't even mention it.

Obviously, in King Tiger's perception, this is not an option that should be considered.

Although Ning Chen didn't know what the high-level officials of the Wan Yao Kingdom were discussing, Ning Chen felt that something big must happen.

Ning Chen asked all the Dragon Guards to continue to inquire about the news, and the more detailed the better.

During this period, another big event happened to Ning Chen.

It is Baijia City, and the construction is finally completed.

Because of the addition of the Wu family, the construction of Baijia City is really a rapid progress.

Coupled with the large number of refugees who joined later.

Everyone really opened their bows at about twelve hours.

The overall speed, it is really impossible to think about it.

When the Baijia City is really fully completed.

Wu Zhizao, who has stayed in Baijiacheng, looked at the Baijiacheng that he led the craftsmen of the Wu family to build.

That really made me feel more and more that Ning Chen was a genius in building cities.

The entire Baijia City was arranged in an orderly manner by Ning Chen, the key is some things that Ning Chen groundbreakingly designed.

That really makes Baijiacheng look prosperous and practical at the same time.

Although many things of Ning Chen cannot be copied directly.

But if you change it, you can still use it in some cities.

"Brother Ning, the first batch of artillery has been made, please come quickly, Brother Ning." While Ning Chen was basking lazily in the sun, a blue bird came to Ning Chen.

Whether Wu Ang used the blue bird or Wu Ang's words, Ning Chen could feel Ning Chen's eagerness and inner ecstasy.
