Chapter 99 The hard corner

[Existing entries: hard (blue); horn (blue); big pirate (blue)]

[Combinable entries: hard horn; big pirate's horn]

[Please select a combined entry or temporarily save the entry. 】

Liu Xuan thought for a moment and chose the combination that seemed to be more suitable.

"Combo: Hard Bump Corner."

[Successful combination: Obtain a hard collision angle (blue)]

[Hard ramming angle: The warship attack state can make the ramming angle of the warship extremely hard.

Restrictions on use: one's own newly built warships

Status duration: permanent
Number of status effects: unlimited.

Status invalidation condition: one's own side loses ownership of the warship. 】

Liu Xuan read the words in the notepad one by one and immediately understood the value of this entry.

It can make the ramming angle of the newly built warship extremely hard, the duration is permanent, and it can be used unlimited times.

The most critical thing is that once the warship is captured by the enemy, its hard angle state will disappear immediately.

Water wars in this era are nothing more than four situations.

The most distant trebuchets smashed each other, then there was the bow and arrow shooting, then the warships clashed, and finally there was the boarding battle.

Of course, there are special tactics such as diving to cut ships, iron ropes across the river, etc., which are not general tactics.

The collision angle is used for warship hedging.

Installing a hard ramming angle below the waterline of the bow can puncture the enemy ship during a rapid impact, causing it to leak or even sink.

Unfortunately, there is another restriction: it must be one's own newly built warship.

As a city at the mouth of the river, Guangling has a deep-water port with excellent conditions on its south bank.
Guangling's shipyard is located in this deep-water port.

The shipyard is not large in scale, but it has complete processes, and shipbuilding craftsmen are also on staff.

It's just that Yan Baihu is not familiar with water warfare and is not too interested in building warships, so there are only dozens of cargo ships in the official shipyard.

But Liu Xuan understood that since Sun Ce had come to his door, a war with the Jiangdong Sun Group was inevitable.

If you want to defeat Sun Ce, you must first defeat the Jiangdong navy.

Otherwise, the river and natural moat will become Liu Xuan's biggest obstacle.

Guangling County Mansion, meeting hall.

Jia Xu reported to Liu Xuan with the reports submitted by Hucaosi, Shaofu Supervisor and other departments.
"Lord, all the major families in Guangling County have been wiped out. However, these families have great business and their clansmen are spread all over the Yangtze River. We can only wipe out the ones in Guangling City. It is estimated that there will be revenge from clansmen from other places in the future. Jia Xu has arranged the city defense. They can’t afford to make any waves.”

Liu Xuandao: "The consequences of wiping out so many big families are unavoidable. In comparison, if there is no one to restrain us in Guangling City in the future, the advantages to us outweigh the disadvantages."

"My lord is right, but because the Chen family, Zhang family and Fan family previously monopolized the land, water and sea transportation in Guangling County, now the three families have been wiped out, and their industries have been paralyzed."

"The tribesmen who were originally responsible for the transportation channels have fled, taking the mules, horses, and ships with them. Nowadays, the circulation of various materials in Guangling County is not smooth, and this matter needs to be solved urgently." Jia Xu has a headache, and handling government affairs is not his specialty.

Liu Xuan thought for a moment and said,

"We can't rush this matter. Let's first ask Shen Fu from Huaiyin to move the focus of freight to Guangling. They have experience, so it shouldn't be difficult."

After looking around at everyone, he said, "In addition, Huaiyin County is too small after all, and the industry in the county is almost saturated. I plan to transfer some of Huaiyin's industries to Guangling. From now on, Guangling will be our base, and Huaiyin will be our rear area for the time being."

"Tomorrow, I will set off back to Huaiyin. Lu Bu and Zhao Liniang will go back with me. Jia Xu and Cheng Hu will lead the army to garrison in Guangling."

"Remember, during my absence, Guangling's main tasks are to manage internal affairs, restore industries, and focus on defense externally."

"Follow the order!"

Liu Xuan went to Guangling at the end of October, and when he returned to Huaiyin again, it was already the end of December.

The New Year is coming soon, and the New Year atmosphere in Huaiyin City is particularly strong this year.The city is almost saturated with residents, and there is almost no wasteland as far as the eye can see outside the city.

A large number of refugees have already cultivated all the wasteland that can be cultivated.
After the improvement of special farmyard manure, winter wheat was planted that year.

The endless wheat fields outside the city shine in the late winter sunshine.

The silk weaving industry has spread all over the city. The silk stockpiled in spring and summer has not been used up yet, and workers in textile factories are still busy working.

"My lord," Zhao Liniang called sweetly, "Tiejiang Zhang from Wanliu Lane sent someone to spread the news and asked us to come over."

"Tiejiang Zhang?" Liu Xuan seemed to have some realization, "Liniang, I remember the forging process of alloy steel. You just left it to Blacksmith Zhang and the others to study, right?"

"Yes, there must be good news." Zhao Liniang smiled.

The two hurriedly came to the factory building in Wanliu Lane.

Blacksmith Zhang stood beside the iron felt, touching a piece of silver metal with his hands as if touching some treasure.

When he saw Liu Xuan, he quickly paid his respects,
"Governor Liu, it's done, haha, it's really done."

Blacksmith Zhang picked up the metal on the iron felt and handed it to Liu Xuan.

"You touch it, this texture, this luster."

"Is this alloy steel?"

"Yes, I strictly followed the drawings and techniques provided by Governor Liu, studied for more than two months, and finally successfully forged this alloy steel."

Liu Xuan looked at the alloy steel in his hand.

The round steel plate is about half a meter in diameter and about one centimeter thick. It has a smooth surface and weighs only three or four kilograms when held in the hand.

"How is the hardness of this alloy steel?" Liu Xuan asked.

Blacksmith Zhang smiled, picked up a hammer, and said, "Chief, please put the steel plate on the iron felt."

Liu Xuan followed Blacksmith Zhang's instructions and placed the alloy steel plate on the iron felt, with a small half exposed outside the iron felt.

Blacksmith Zhang hit the exposed part of the alloy steel with a hammer without hesitation.

With a "pop" sound, the alloy steel plate flew up, flipped several times in the air and fell to the ground.

Blacksmith Zhang picked up the steel plate and handed it to Liu Xuan.

"Please see, Sheriff, this alloy steel is hard but not brittle, strong in texture but light in weight. I have been forging iron all my life, but I have never thought that this magical steel can be forged."

Liu Xuan was also a little excited and asked quickly: "This alloy steel is so hard, isn't it difficult to forge?"

"It's a little more difficult than ordinary iron, but after it's red-hot, it can still be forged and shaped."

"Okay," Liu Xuan was overjoyed and immediately ordered Blacksmith Zhang, "Immediately organize the workers in the weapon shop to make a pair of armor from this alloy steel. If you want full body armor, I will be of great use."

As soon as the alloy steel came out, Liu Xuan immediately thought of what Gao Shun once said.

The biggest restriction in the trapped camp is that the thick armor restricts the combat effectiveness of the warriors.

However, thin armor cannot protect soldiers.

If alloy steel armor can be achieved, perhaps Gao Shun's trapped camp will have no shortcomings.

With a sudden realization, Liu Xuan once again turned over the Tiangong Kaiwu with the roulette wheel.
Sure enough, alloy steel was successfully developed, and the roulette wheel on the Tiangong Kaiwu has regained its luster.

[The roulette is on. Do you want to spin the roulette? 】

"Turn!"

The roulette wheel rotated and the light symbols flew. After a while, the luster of the roulette wheel disappeared and it went to sleep again.

[Obtain: Punch manufacturing process]
