Chapter 412 Chapter Four Hundred and Nine
After an extremely comfortable banquet that was unprepared and eaten, Su Xi did not leave.

The reason is that the discussion of this group of aristocratic families is too attractive.

Su Xi was curious about their goals and ideas for the country.

And they can represent the ideas of each family, and each family can represent the will of a part of the country.

"Marquis Quyang, it is rumored that the general supervisor has been conducting various strange researches, both military and civilian technologies."

The young man who just mentioned the advantages of science and technology stood up with a smile and bowed to Su Xi.

After returning the gift, Su Xi nodded to confirm.

That's right, Jiang Zuojian is still under his name, and Changsun Wuji and Xu Jingzong are currently helping to watch over him.

He only looks at it occasionally.

"It is rumored that the supervisor will mainly study steelmaking technology, right?"

"Yes."

"For some reason, steel production is important, but compared to national agriculture, it should be nothing."

An aristocratic family who seemed to be mainly engaged in agriculture frowned.

"New farm tools need steel, armor needs steel, all kinds of weapons also need steel, even the knives and pots at home need steel.

Steel production can directly represent a country's combat effectiveness. "

Wang Gui took the words, in the case of sufficient food, the production of steel is really important.

"In addition to steel production, we also looked at alloy technology."

Su Xi hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

Alloy technology, this new term makes everyone stunned, what is it.

"In simple terms, it is to make steel have other characteristics, such as brittle, sharp, hard, soft, etc."

Su Xi patiently explained.

In fact, I have to say something at this time. What Wang Jin said before about the importance of the blast furnace is correct.

A five-party blast furnace is worth fighting for.

If it weren't for Datang's stable steel production base, it would really be possible to fight here.

"To be honest, there are many tasks to be supervised now, and we are still studying the power system."

Su Xi's eyes began to flutter.

A steam engine is a good thing. With this thing, many things can be made.

For example, the earliest steam ships and steam trains.

In addition to the steam engine, another research is the machine tool.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were machine tools, which were used to make guns.

It is hard to imagine that in the late Ming Dynasty, firearms could be produced by themselves.

"By the way, the howitzers fired at about 200 meters have come out."

When it comes to guns, Su Xi thinks of howitzers, which are not very advanced artillery weapons.

Shooting close, the power is the same.

But this thing is easy to hold, and if it is really used, it is still good.

In addition to this thing, earth cannons can also be researched.

As long as you know the principle, there is enough steel, and you can build it by hand. The only thing that is difficult is the shell.

But they have slaves who are not afraid of death.

It is still possible to continue the crazy experiment.

Even if there is a problem with the output, it is not a problem to have a few hundred doors over time.

Others don't know much about the research direction Su Xi said.

But it’s okay if they don’t understand, it’s fine for them to know other things, as long as it doesn’t harm them.

"In fact, if you go out, you can also study various technologies. Otherwise, the country you build will have a bad day."

Thinking of the various weapons and powers that Jiang Zuojian was researching, Su Xi shrugged and persuaded.

"It's really bad luck."

After saying this sentence, Su Xi stopped talking.

He is not the kind of person who scares people.

If you say you will be unlucky, you will be unlucky.

Just like the joke that there are actually only two countries in the world.

There is one reason why many countries don't like Huaxia. Huaxia is too strong.

Since World War II, a national industrial system has been built from scratch, complete, and the basic industry is not missing.

In this case, theoretically, Huaxia can be isolated from the outside world and carry out self-production and self-sale.

Like many countries, they are outstanding in one aspect, but not in other aspects. Once the industrial chain is broken, their country will not be able to operate.

The current Datang is like this. It is building its own industrial system bit by bit, and the steel mill is a must.

In Datang now, there are many people doing crazy research around one thing.

Others didn't quite understand Su Xi's unlucky words, but of course they didn't understand, they still planned to listen.

They wanted to hear it, but Su Xi really didn't want to talk about it.

After chatting casually with everyone, Su Xi left.

At this time, in a secret military camp outside Chang'an City, Li Jing was testing howitzers and earthen artillery with a kind of left-behind general.

Ten small howitzers were fired together, and ten earthen guns were fired together.

The effect varies greatly.

Small howitzers have a range of about 300 to [-] meters.

"The advantage is that it is easy to carry, and the power is acceptable. It is recommended to carry out intensive bombing, and it can be used as a medium-range cover."

Li Jing recorded it happily.

This is already very good, a bow and arrow shoots a person, and this thing explodes into a piece. If it is enough, it is also good to use to blow up the city wall.

If there were enough shells, what Li Jing wanted to do the most was to blow up the city walls. No matter how big or small the cannon was, he could just bomb the city walls directly.

As long as the opponent does not have equal fire suppression, they are invincible.

"Auxiliary machine, what is the manufacturing geometry of this thing, and how difficult is it to manufacture?"

Li Jing looked at Changsun Wuji with satisfaction, never expecting that this old boy has such a skill.

"Duke Wei is too famous."

Changsun Wuji smiled wryly.

"Don't ask how much the cost is, the country can bear it.

It's just that it's too difficult to make. I'm studying how to do mechanical production so that ordinary people can operate it. "

To be honest, Changsun Wuji felt that rubbing by hand was not practical, and the best thing was to rely on machinery. He is now organizing people to assemble the machinery.

Full automation can't be done, but semi-automation can still be done. Anyway, it's all about manipulating huge machinery.

Datang now has enough steel. After all, it guards the grasslands, Tuyuhun, and later the three eastern provinces. With them, industrial bases have begun to be formed.

Moreover, Datang is now planning to meet a heavy industrial base in the Liaodong area, and some people have even suggested that the industrial base should be relocated.

Otherwise, it's all in Chang'an, and the pressure is too great.

This got rejected.

In Li Er's words, I am not at ease.

With the power of cannons and howitzers, and firearms of this level, once the place of production is not in your hands, and the enemy is holding the industrial production place, how can you fight it.

Purely make wedding dresses for others.

So what Li Er said is, rather than trouble, I have to get a new type of weapon for Lao Tzu. The transportation pressure is heavy and you can solve it yourself.

Don't look for me, why are you looking for me, I just want the country to be stable.
