Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 27 The Difficulty of Casting a Cannon
Ten thousand!

Li Yan gasped, this amount is too big!
No wonder there is a saying, "One shot of a cannon is ten thousand taels of gold", this cannon is too expensive.

With the current finances in Guazhou, it is simply impossible to build cannons.

Traditionally, money was exchanged for a little contribution point, but now among the players in business, Sun Jianguo and Zhou Yaoguang, who exchanged the highest contribution point, only handed in [-] coins.

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 in order to cast a cannon!

The cost is too high!
Li Yan shook his head and said, "Can you use cast iron cannons?"

Cui Ruoyun said: "Of course you can, but to cast an iron cannon, you need to smelt higher-purity steel first. Only a barrel with fewer impurities will not explode when it is used."

Li Yan nodded again and again, and Cui Ruoyun said again: "I am not a mechanical researcher, and good iron is not enough. At the same time, a whole set of cannon casting technology is required. If you want to cast a good cannon with iron, it will cost no more manpower and material resources than that of a cannon. Collect copper coins and make cannons less."

Li Yan immediately asked: "If you use iron cannons, don't you need so many copper coins?"

Cui Ruoyun was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect that this was the main point of King Jianning. She nodded and said, "The iron ore in Dashuixia is of high quality. If we can build an iron factory, it will not be difficult to produce qualified steel."

"But casting cannons, I won't do it."

Li Yan immediately said: "Since Mrs. Cui's family knows so much about cannon-making, do you know a craftsman who is good at making cannons?"

Cui Ruoyun said: "Yes, yes, but..."

Before Cui Ruoyun finished speaking, a game prompt sounded in her ear:
[King Jianning is thirsty for talent, so help King Jianning introduce a craftsman who is good at casting cannons! 】

[Player Cui Ruoyun has obtained a game test qualification. If the skillful craftsman can satisfy King Jianning, he can get a reward of [-] contribution points! 】

The mission was actually triggered! ?

Cui Ruoyun didn't expect that she would start the mission just after talking with Li Yan, and it would still be such a head-turning mission.

Thinking of her best friend who is a PhD student in mechanical engineering, Cui Ruoyun said confidently: "Don't worry, Your Highness! The girl will definitely complete the task!"

Li Yan said in a good mood: "From today onwards, you are the secretary of our military mansion. You can report to me directly if you have anything to do. If there are any deficiencies in the experimental materials, you can just ask Cui Tao!"

Cui Ruoyun nodded in satisfaction, never expecting to complete such a big task by accident.

This made Cui Tao very envious. His old sister has never been out of the game after entering the game. She is bored in the laboratory every day, and she earns more contribution points than herself.

Hey, it really is that science and technology are the primary productive forces!

After solving this problem, Li Yan returned to his military account, and he said to the system:

"System, prepare to recruit new players!"

[As you wish, host. 】

Now "Da Tang Feng Yun" has gained a good reputation in the circle of game lovers, especially in the circle of historical game lovers.

There are also more visitors browsing the game forum every day.

So this time, Li Yan simply opened the registration page on the game forum, and asked interested players to fill in their personal information to apply for a game invitation code.

Although the players recruited from colleges and universities are generally good, Li Yan also encountered a problem. Players from these colleges often need to attend classes during the day, and the online hours are not stable.

Today's Li Yan desperately needs a team of hardcore players who can go online stably!

Now the entire Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, Uighurs and Tubo are both eyeing Longyou Dao, and the haze of war is pressing on Li Yan's head.

It is already November, and when winter passes and spring arrives, Tubo and the Uyghurs are bound to launch a tentative offensive.

Li Yan needs a unit that can fight!

"System, can you screen players manually?"

[Yes, the host can select the required players from the players who applied for registration. 】

"Very good, help me screen out players with military backgrounds and plenty of game time."

【As you wish. 】

Li Yan looked at the light curtain of the system, with a smile on his face, with a kind of heroic feeling of "all the talents in the world are in my urn".

blue star.

Xu Jun is a veteran. After retiring, he worked hard and has a small family business.

When people reach middle age, it is inevitable that they will reminisce about the past. Xu Jun has nothing to do and played old games with a few old comrades in arms. He was very happy to attack the city in the game.

However, this old game is an old game after all. Although it has added gorgeous wings and cool special effects, it is just the old routine of attacking Sand City.

Players like Xu Jun are not the kind of crazy kryptonite players, and they didn't find it interesting to be fresh in the past.

Today, the routine boarded the voice chat room. Xu Jun was just about to go online when he heard the voice of his comrade-in-arms Lao Qin.

"Brothers, I found a fun game, let's go and play together?"

"What game?" Xu Jun asked curiously.

"Do you still remember Yuchi Xin?"

"Remember, the company commander of the special warfare company next door, didn't that guy open a fitness boxing gym after retiring from the army? I saw an advertisement for the opening in his circle of friends."

"It's that kid. Last time I chatted with him, I heard that this guy is playing a game. It's really fun!"

"what game?"

"Historical war games, anyway, it's very real, Yu Chixin said, this game is just like the real world, you can do anything! Fighting and killing enemies, leading troops to fight, there are so many ways to play!"

Xu Jun's eyes brightened. During this period of time, he was also a little tired of the old game. After all, it was played more than ten or twenty years ago, and the degree of freedom was not high.

Hearing the recommendation from his comrade-in-arms, 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 website, and you fill in your personal information. I haven't contacted you during the day. My brothers have already applied for test qualifications, and I'm just waiting for you!"

"Hurry up, send it here, if it's not fun, we'll beat up Yuchixin!"

The comrade-in-arms immediately sent the invitation registration website of the forum, 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 doctoral dormitory building of the university.

As a top university in the country, the accommodation conditions for doctoral students are quite good.

Single standard room with separate bathroom.

What Cui Ruoyun was looking for was the cannon-casting expert she recommended to Li Yan, Cui Ruoyun's best friend Jian Xia, who was deeply involved in mechanical engineering, a tiankeng major!
