Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 258 War Machine Research Institute (Two in One)

For the final land reform, Qianyuan decided to hand over Sun Baoshan, the doctor of Tian Caosi, to take charge of it personally.

It's time for this old slicker to put a trap on him, he can't put his eldest grandson at the forefront of everything, while he hides behind and enjoys the benefits.

In order to advance the land reform smoothly, Qianyuan decided to set up Lingnong Cao in Tiancao Division to be responsible for matters related to Lingnong, so as to completely separate Lingnong from ordinary agriculture.

These things all need to be handled by Sun Baoshan.

…………

The eighth day of April, Zhaoyao Mountain.

Early in the morning, Qian Yuan was invited to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Taoist monastery.

Because Taixuzong had already built a lot of infrastructure in Zhaoyao Mountain, which saved a lot of effort in preparing for the construction of the Taoist Academy, the reason why it was delayed until now is mainly due to the problem of recruiting students.

The students recruited by the monastery will all be young children under the age of ten who have the talent for cultivation.

Because the first phase is to test the water, only 200 people will be recruited.

In this regard, the three fiefdoms are also fighting for their heads. Anyone who has a sense of smell knows that the potential of the Taoist Academy is immeasurable, not to mention the poor families, even the major families are willing to send their children to the Taoist Academy.

After a series of screenings, after a comprehensive evaluation of factors such as root bones, understanding, and xinxing, the vice-principal Zheng Xiao Buli personally checked the checks, and finally completed the selection within three months.

Xiao Buli introduced: "Students who have just entered the Taoist academy are called Tongsheng, and Tongsheng who have broken through to the stage of strong soul are called endogenous students. Furthermore, for those who have broken through to the stage of leaving the body, in principle, they have to come from the Taoist academy. graduate."

Qianyuan nodded. Except for a few people with extraordinary talents, they would be twenty after breaking through to the out-of-body stage. They could enter the world of mortals and experience it, and there was no need to stay in a Taoist temple to cultivate.

The monastery is more like an enlightenment institution that guides newcomers into the path of monasticism.

"Does the Taoist Academy ignore the students after graduation?" Qian Yuan asked.

"Of course not." Xiao Buli shook his head with a smile, "Strictly speaking, when you enter the out-of-body stage, you have just entered the threshold of spiritual practice. If no one is there to guide you, you can easily go astray. The Taoist Academy is very strict with students after graduation. The master-apprentice system is implemented, and a master is assigned before graduation, and they only need to return to the monastery regularly to ask the master for advice, and they don't need to stay in the monastery all the time."

Qian Yuan nodded, this is very similar to the tutorial system of the Earth Research Institute.

It can't be seen that Xiao Buli has quite a way of studying, and it is really not easy to sort out the operation mechanism of the Taoist Academy in such a short period of time.

Xiao Buli continued: "In addition to the designated masters, the Daoist Academy regularly invites the master monks of the spirit and soul stage to give lectures on the stage every year, and the graduates can also come back to listen to the sermons."

"Very good." This time, Qian Yuan was completely relieved, and looked at Xiao Buli with a smile, "It's done well, I'm very relieved to have you in the Taoist temple."

A flash of surprise flashed in Xiao Buli's eyes and he nodded.

After attending the inauguration ceremony, meeting with the first batch of students, and speaking some encouraging words, Qian Yuan went back home and handed over the initiative to Xiao Buli and others.

…………

"Your Highness, you are back."

As soon as Qian Yuan came back from the Taoist academy, before he entered the study, he was stopped by Wu Qingke, Cao Yuanwailang of the Fifth Army Division, whose fat body blocked the entire door.

"Is something wrong?"

Qian Yuan looked at Wu Qingke's fat body, and his eyelids twitched. He couldn't figure out how this guy practiced step by step to the early stage of Wu Zong.

Could it be that eating meat can also increase one's skill?

Wu Qingke said with a playful smile: "Your Highness, the Xishan Arsenal has been built. When will you be free to visit it and give me some valuable advice?"

"So fast?" Qian Yuan was very surprised.

The so-called Xishan Arsenal was inspired by Changsun Chong's use of high-strength steel to refine black iron. Qianyuan ordered the Bingjia Division to cooperate with Industrial Cao to establish a mechanized, standardized, and assembly-lined modern weapon production factory, changing the backward military work. workshop mode.

Didn't expect to see the finished product so soon.

"Your Highness has issued an order, so why not hurry up." Fatty Wu's words were really nasty.

"That's not right." Qian Yuan looked at Wu Qingke, "This is a matter between Bingjia Division and Industrial Cao. Why did you come to inform me?"

Wu Qingke said with a flattering smile: "Looking at what Your Highness said, the Xishan Arsenal has been built, and the weapons and equipment produced must not be distributed by the War Preparation Cao. Lord Changsun Chong and Master Yanzhi are still doing the final debugging, so I will do it for you."

"Are you relaxed?"

"Uh……"

Wu Qingke's expression was stagnant, the flesh on his face was squeezed into a ball, and his smile was uglier than crying.

"Alright, let's lead the way!"

Qian Yuan waved his hand and left the palace first.

"Okay!"

Wu Qingke regained his energy at once, and Pidiandian led the way. Although he was bloated, he walked with wind under his feet.

Just at this point, there is a hint of Wuzong style.

The Xishan Armory was built in the western suburbs of the city of Zhaoyao, and it was considered the largest infrastructure project launched after Prince Qin's Mansion moved to the city of Zhaoyao, covering an area of ​​more than [-] mu.

Of course, the current construction is only the first phase of the project, which mainly produces commonly used weapons such as war knives and epees, followed by the production of armor, armor, siege equipment and other weapons and equipment.

When Qianyuan arrived at the factory, Changsun Chong and Master Yanzhi were already waiting at the door.

"Who will introduce it!" Looking at the roar of the machine not far away, and the busy blacksmith beside the machine, Qian Yuan felt as if he had traveled back to the earth.

It seems like a lifetime away.

"Let me tell you."

Changsun Chong said with a smile: "Compared with traditional arms workshops, the biggest difference between arms factories is that conventional stamping, hammering and other processes are handed over to machines. The blacksmith is only responsible for the most critical processes, which greatly saves time and at the same time. It can strengthen the quality control of finished products, and produce standard weapons in an assembly line."

"That's right, let's talk about the specific data." Qian Yuan wanted to know more about it.

Changsun Chong said: "Take making a war knife as an example. In a traditional military workshop, a qualified blacksmith also needs three to five days. But in the military workshop, on average, this time is reduced to less than half a day."

"..."

Qian Yuan had to feel the charm of industry.

The Xishan Arsenal was built at the right time. The fiefdom will recently sell a large amount of weapons and equipment to Qingqiu Kingdom and Luoyun Sect, and is worried that the order will not be completed.

Now it's fine, even if the order doubles, it's fine.

A group of people walked while talking, and after passing through two factory areas, under the guidance of Master Yanzhi, they came to a light steel structure building.

The sign hanging above reads "Weapons and Equipment Showroom."

"Is there a new surprise?" Qian Yuan turned to look at Master Yanzhi.

The cool master Yan Zhi didn't say anything, and led Qian Yuan into the house, and saw three sets of armors displayed in the bright hall, equipped with different weapons.

Master Yanzhi introduced: "Based on the standardized production of the arsenal, the Bingjia Division proposed the concept of a standard suit after improving and integrating the existing standard equipment.

"What Your Highness sees now is the standardized suit based on refined iron equipment developed by Bingjia Division - the courage suit. In the future, Bingjia Division will continue to develop the standard suit based on black iron equipment - Zhongwu suit."

The more advanced Zhongwu set will be based on the most famous four-beast set in the empire, and will be improved and upgraded to better meet standardized production.

It is still in the development stage.

"Courage suit? Good name." Qian Yuan was really interested.

Master Yanzhi pointed to the first set of suits and said: "The courage suits are divided into three types, corresponding to infantry, archers and cavalry respectively. The courage I type is pure infantry equipment, including heavy full-body infantry, helmets, combat boots, and weapons. Choose from a heavy sword or an epee, and the whole set of equipment weighs 85 kilograms."

If such heavy equipment was placed in the ancient times of the earth, except for the rare natural strongmen, no one would be able to wear it, and the pressure would be crushed.

But in Yu Yutian, not to mention those at the martial arts master level, even warriors in the late warrior stage can hold it.

Therefore, in Yu Yutian, there was no clear distinction between heavy infantry and light infantry at all, because no matter who they were, they all wore standard heavy armor.

If it is not heavy enough, it can only prove that the army is too poor to equip heavy armor.

Master Yanzhi walked up to the second set of equipment and introduced: "The Courage II is equipped for archers, including heavy half-body armor, helmet, and combat boots. Weapons include a strong bow and a light sword. The suit weighs 75 kilograms."

The reason why archers do not wear full-body armor is not because of the weight, but because full-body armor is inconvenient to move and does not meet the characteristics of archers with high mobility, so they changed to more dexterous half-body armor.

Similarly, because archers are also warriors, they all have a certain melee ability. The strong bow is their main weapon, and the sword becomes the standard secondary weapon.

Indispensable.

When necessary, the archer unit can be used as ordinary infantry.

"The last type of bravery III is the cavalry equipment, including heavy cavalry armor, helmets, boots, weapons including spears, swords and longbows, and the suit weighs 95 kilograms, and the equipment for the mount is not included." Master Yan Zhi said.

If it weren't for the monster mounts riding heavy loads, crushing the war horses on the earth, such heavy cavalry equipment would never be able to go on the battlefield.

Yu Yutian lacked cavalry, but the cavalry built by Qianyuan was also different from the earth.

More like an all-around weapon.

Although there are light cavalry and heavy cavalry, there is no special crossbow cavalry, and no cavalry is required to be able to engage in short combat and launch long-range attacks.

This is also related to the fact that the size of Yu Yutian's army is relatively smaller than that of the earth. With limited troops, it is natural to train more complex warriors to deal with various emergencies.

After listening to Master Yan Zhi's introduction, Qian Yuan couldn't hide his excitement.

On the day when the courage set is actually mass-produced, the equipment level of the fiefdom's army will be raised to a higher level, and finally there will be exclusive equipment unique to the fiefdom.

It's amazing.

Qian Yuan looked at Master Yan Zhi and said, "Master, can I make a small suggestion?"

"Your Highness, please speak!"

Master Yan Zhi did not dare to underestimate His Highness, many of his ideas were originally inspired by His Highness.

"Can you add a dagger to the courage suit as a standard configuration?" Although the dagger is not commonly used, it may save a soldier's life at a critical moment.

"I will hand over the relevant drawings to the Bingjia Division later." Qianyuan added.

"Of course it's fine."

Master Yan Zhi wished for a more perfect courage suit, and knew that any blueprints that His Highness produced were rare treasures.

After visiting the courage suit, Qian Yuan and his party finally came to the reception room.

The series of surprises that Xishan Arsenal brought to Qianyuan made Qianyuan's idea of ​​adjusting the structure of the Five Military Divisions mature, and it happened that all the parties involved were there, and it happened to be resolved together.

The so-called adjustments mainly focus on logistics.

Qianyuan plans to abolish the Bingjia Division, and hand over all the arsenal, military workshop, Xishan Arsenal and other industries that originally belonged to the Bingjia Division to the direct management of the War Preparedness Cao.

Save the middle link.

For this reason, the combat readiness Cao will set up an equipment department to be responsible for this matter, which is equivalent to a simplified version of the Bingjia Division.

The Institute of Psychic Energy, which was originally affiliated to the Armored Division, will take the opportunity to become independent, directly under the name of the Fifth Armed Forces Division, and counted as a direct subordinate institution of the Fifth Armed Forces Division.

Not only that, Qianyuan will also upgrade the Institute of Psychic Energy to the Institute of War Machines, which will be responsible for improving and developing various weapons and equipment, siege equipment, new war equipment and so on.

The original Psionic Research Institute was considered a branch of the War Machine Research Institute.

In other words, Qianyuan wanted to separate the institute from tedious specific affairs, focus on the research field, and become the brain of the fiefdom's military industry.

"That's great!"

Master Yanzhi and Wu Qingke said almost in unison.

For Master Yanzhi, he is obsessed with the research of war machines and is an academic talent. With the platform provided by Qianyuan, he is now a master of refining equipment.

According to this trend, it will be a matter of time to be promoted to the master of refining equipment.

Without the burden of Bingjia Division, Master Yanzhi can devote himself to the research of weapons and equipment, why not do it?
What about Wu Qingke?Equally happy.

Prior to this, although the War Preparedness Cao was responsible for the deployment of logistics supplies for the fiefdom's army, he really did not have much say in the most important weapons and equipment.

They are all under the control of Bingjia Division.

Every time Cao prepares to report the production plan of weapons and equipment to Bingjia Division, Bingjia Division will always discount or even delay delivery for one reason or another.

It's all right now, the arsenal is under the direct control of the war preparation Cao, and there is no need to act according to other people's faces.

How could Wu Qingke be unhappy.

"You two, don't rush to be happy, there are still tasks ahead." Qian Yuan laughed.

"Your Highness, please speak!"

Qian Yuandao: "For the Institute of War Machines, in addition to the original tasks of spiritual energy research and development of loyal weapon suits, I also assigned two new tasks.

"First, cooperate with the Industrial Cao to use new materials such as rubber and steel to develop new grain transport vehicles to speed up food supply. If possible, it would be best to develop personnel carriers to move the army through the war in a very short period of time. road, to transport from one place to another."

"This is no problem." Master Yanzhi patted his chest.

In fact, the relevant technologies of the industrial cao have become mature. What the War Machine Research Institute has to do is to develop the form of the carriage and consider what kind of energy to drive it.

Whether to use monsters to pull the car, or burn oil, or replace it with the latest psionic drive.

This can only be concluded after testing.

Qianyuan continued: "The second mission is to develop a psychic musket with a longer range, faster rate of fire, and greater lethality based on the sniper rifle."

"Psionic musket?" Master Yan Zhi frowned, he remembered the [-] Research Institute that was first established in Yize County, "Didn't His Royal Highness personally kill the gun project?"

"One moment and another moment." Qian Yuan explained with a smile: "Psionic muskets are not for infantry, but for the future air force."

It is reported that the first batch of Shuhu beasts from Qingqiu country has arrived in Kongsang County.

When Qian Yuan heard the news, his heart naturally became hot, and he wished to set up an air force immediately.Equipping the Air Force with the most suitable weapons has become a top priority.

Whether it is the strong bow or the long bow installed in the army, they do not meet the requirements.

Only then did Qianyuan think of the psychic musket.

"Then I understand." Master Yanzhi naturally said it clearly.

"Your Highness, what about me? What tasks should I give to the combat readiness officer?" Wu Qingke was eager to give it a try.

Qian Yuan laughed and shook his head, "Don't worry, you are busy."

The tasks assigned to the combat readiness Cao are naturally related to logistical support, which is also the inspiration Qianyuan got after learning from the characteristics of the earth's army.

One is to prepare for the construction of a canned meat factory.

On Earth, canned food is one of the standard foods in the military. Because of its portability and convenient eating, it is very popular among soldiers in the military.

After industrialization took shape, the conditions for building a cannery were ripe.

The second is to build a military quilt factory.

With the promotion of looms in the fiefdom, the output of cloth is higher than the previous year, and the conditions for large-scale and streamlined clothing production are also met.

The clothing factory will provide the army with uniform training uniforms, quilts, military backpacks, military tents, rubber marching shoes and a series of clothing.

In this regard, Yu Yutian's level is no different from that of ancient Earth.

Except for weapons and equipment, the underwear and quilts worn by the soldiers were all brought from home.

After the improvement of the fiefdom's finances, Qianyuan naturally thought about further improving the living standards of the soldiers and distributing uniform logistics clothes for the soldiers free of charge.

In Yu Yutian, this is bound to be another great pioneering work.

The ultimate goal of Qianyuan is to bring the fiefdom army to a true professional road, and to refine an iron army that has always been "capable of winning battles, with a good style of work and strict discipline".

Become the strongest blade to open up the territory of the fief.

Neither of these things was easy to do, but Wu Qingke's face lit up after hearing this. He was worried that he would have nothing to do. The more things he had to do, the more important it was that his status as a combat readiness officer was not important.
