Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 71 Complete Shock

"Hahaha…"

Chao Tian looked up to the sky and smiled happily.

"Oh my god, this cannon is so powerful, isn't this the God of Thunder coming down to earth?"

"It can really shoot out more than 100 feet. If this is used in siege, brothers don't need to charge. If hundreds of artillery go down, the whole city will be razed to the ground."

"It's so shocking. Just now I thought the world was falling."

After the generals were shocked, they all exclaimed and sighed in a hurry.

"Success! Success!"

Master Ben looked at the mess caused by the artillery in the distance. He was also shocked. He burst into tears and murmured to himself.

"My lord, with this sharp weapon, our army will be invincible. Even the elites of Xixia, Liao, and Jin in the north will be wiped out under the roar of this artillery!"

Military advisor Liu Bowen blushed with excitement, and said with dancing.

"Yes, with this kind of artillery, if it is equipped on a warship, the sea area of ​​the Great Song Dynasty will be the back garden of our Dengzhou Navy!" Zheng Chenggong, the commander of the Dengzhou Navy, said equally excitedly.

"If you use artillery to attack the city, there will be tens of thousands of soldiers without blood on the battlefield, the country's most important weapon, the country's most important weapon!"

Xu Da was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he cried with Lin Chong, the leopard head next to him.

These people present are all veterans of the battlefield. Seeing the power of this artillery, they can quickly understand its significance. It is precisely because they know the significance of artillery that these iron-blooded generals lose their composure in this way.

Chao Tian laughed for a while, and then said loudly: "I, Chao Tian, ​​will replace the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chao family army. I would like to thank everyone in the Shenji Battalion. If it weren't for your research and development and manufacturing day and night, there would be no artillery today."

"You have created history and witnessed this great historical moment. You will be famous in history. All craftsmen in Shenji Camp will be issued ten taels of silver, and your status will be the same as that of the sergeant of the Chao family army!"

"Thank you, Master Jiedushi!"

"Thank you, Master Jiedushi!"

Hearing Chao Tian's words, tears filled the eyes of thousands of craftsmen in the schoolyard, and they bowed to Chao Tian with gratitude like pushing a golden mountain down a jade pillar.

What excited them was Chao Tian's last sentence, and his status was the same as that of Chao's army.

Agricultural business.

Among the social status in ancient times, the status of craftsmen was only a little higher than that of businessmen, and they were not respected in normal times.

But Chao Tian gave them a lofty status, allowing them to become respected people in society just like Chao Jiajun.

Let their descendants no longer be unable to read, read, or take part in the imperial examinations because of their status.

"On behalf of the tens of thousands of craftsmen in the world, I thank the lord!" Master Ban burst into tears, and was about to kneel down to Chao Tian excitedly.

Chao Tian hurriedly helped Master Ban up, and said with a smile: "If you want to say thank you, I have to thank you. Master Ban has made great contributions to the invention of artillery. From today on, Master Ban is the commander of the Shenji Battalion. .”

"My subordinate pays homage to the lord. Now that the cannon has been tested successfully, please give the cannon a name."

Master Ban bowed to Chao Tian again excitedly.

"When the cannon is angry, it's like thunder from the nine heavens. The god of thunder descends to earth. How about calling it the cannon of thunder?" Chao Tian thought for a while and said.

Hearing that Chao Tian named the cannon the Thunder God Cannon, everyone immediately agreed and officially changed the name to the Thunder God Cannon.

"Master Ban, what's the current output of this Thunder God Cannon?" Then, Chao Tian asked.

The artillery has been successfully tested, and now the most critical issue is the output. If the output cannot be reached, then the artillery can only play a surprising role in the war.

If you want to truly rule the war, you need a large number of Thor cannons to equip the army.

Hearing Chao Tian's question, Master Ban sighed, and said, "My lord, although this cannon is powerful, every production process requires precise and skilled craftsmen, and to complete a cannon, a skilled craftsman will have to spend one month's time."

One cannon a month!
There are only twelve schools in a year, which is far from what Chao Tian expected.

Immediately, Chao Tian's eyes lit up, and he said, "In this case, why not separate each process of cannon production?"

Hearing what Chao Tian said, Master Ban was a little puzzled, not knowing exactly what Chao Tian meant.

Then Chao Tian excitedly talked about the assembly line operations of later generations, and then said: "So as long as the standard size of each process of the artillery is stipulated, everyone only needs to make one of the processes."

"In this way, it can not only greatly improve the production progress of the artillery, reduce the time, but also prevent the artillery technology from leaking out."

Hearing Chao Tian's suggestion, Master Ban was shocked. After thinking about it carefully, it was really feasible, and he felt that Chao Tian's suggestion was particularly good.

"Ah, my lord is really pedantic about heaven and man, I admire the old man."

"In this way, it will take less than seven days to make a cannon. If the craftsman is proficient, the time can be shortened." The class master clapped his hands excitedly.

According to the progress of one cannon in seven days, the current manpower of Shenji Battalion can produce three cannons in seven days, at least twelve cannons in a month, and 140 four cannons a year, which is enough for their army. up.

After solving the problem of Thor Cannon production, Chao Tian was in a good mood and asked the generals to go back, leaving Shen Wansan, the head of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, alone.

I finished watching the artillery, but I didn't look at the refined salt.

The table salt at this time is rough, not only large in size, but also yellow in color, with a strong bitter taste in the salty fishy smell.

And what Chao Tian asked Shenjiying to develop this time was edible refined salt as white as snow.

Master Ban brought Chao Tian and Shen Wansan to another workshop, which was dedicated to producing refined salt.

The master class opened a paper bag on the table, revealing white crystals as white as snow and particles like fine sand.

Chao Tian could tell at a glance that this was refined salt, and Master Ban knew it when he made it himself, but Shen Wansan who was beside him didn't know why.

"My lord, master class, what is this?" Shen Wansan asked suspiciously.

"Can you try it?" Chao Tian said with a smile to Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansan heard Chao Tian said that this thing was edible, so he squeezed a small bit of his dubious hand, put it on his tongue and licked it.

Immediately, a salty taste rushed straight to Tianling Gai and instantly invaded Shen Wansan's entire mouth.

Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!
Shen Wansan spat out several times in a row, only then did he feel that his mouth was much better, then his eyes lit up, he looked at the white crystal in his hand, and tasted it again.

Suddenly, Shen Wansan was overwhelmed with surprise. He glanced at the smiling Chao Tian, ​​and then asked Master Ban, "Master Ban, is this easy to make? How much does it cost?"

Obviously, Shen Wansan also knew that this was refined salt, and with his extremely business mind, he immediately thought of the value of this refined salt, which is why he asked such a question.

Master Ban chuckled and said, "If you master the method, it's very simple. It can be made with seawater, and the cost of one tael of refined salt is less than two pennies."

Hearing Master Ban's words, Shen Wansan was shocked, completely shocked.

The cost of one tael of refined salt is less than two renminbi, and if you master the method, you can manufacture it on a large scale.

Shen Wansan was very excited by the wealth contained in these two sentences.

"Master, this refined salt business must be handed over to our Huaxia Chamber of Commerce." Shen Wansan immediately saluted Chao Tianshen and said eagerly.
