Chapter 1690 Mother of Industry!
"Hongsheng, what's the situation with the new batch of armors~?"
After leaving the scientific research base of the "killer project", Li Zexuan came to the steelmaking plant. At this time, Zhang Hongsheng was instructing the craftsman to move things, he greeted him and asked aloud while Zhang Hongsheng was at leisure.
"Master Hou, are you here~?"
Hearing the sound, Zhang Hongsheng quickly turned around. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then smiled and replied: "Going back to Lord Hou, you are here at the right time today. The five thousand sets of boards you previously explained The armor, vanadium steel horse 槊, and vanadium steel horse armor have all been built today. At this moment, the craftsmen are bringing their men to transport the armor from the riverside workshop! Tomorrow, tomorrow Lord Hou should be able to bring them Someone has come to transport these soldiers to the barracks~!"
"It's all finished~?"
Li Zexuan raised his brows, and his face was a little shocked. In just over a month, the workshop had even completed 5,000 sets of plate armor, horse combs, and horse armors. Such a speed can be called a miracle!
Of course, the reason for such a fast speed is mainly because the workshop has paid a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to produce this batch of armor equipment!
First of all, in order to produce the armor for so many years, the workshop has invested nearly 3,000 craftsmen, not counting the civilians; secondly, Ke Shiqing is located in the land of Bashu, and continuously transports vanadium ore to the workshop. , Provides a solid material foundation for the production of armor equipment; the last and most important point, in order to produce new equipment, the workshop has specially developed hydraulic punching machine tools, replacing manpower with machines, which naturally speeds up the armor greatly. The speed of equipment creation!
"Yes! Lord Hou! If you don't believe me, you can come here tomorrow to count the number!"
Zhang Hongsheng sullen his face and clasped his fists.
Li Zexuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no! Benhou didn't believe me, I was just a little surprised! Being able to complete such a difficult task in such a short period of time shows that Hongsheng you are not only superbly skilled, but also excellent in leadership. what!"
Hearing this, Zhang Hongsheng breathed a sigh of relief. He scratched his head and laughed loudly: "Master Hou is rewarded. He can build 5,000 sets of armor and equipment so quickly. Zhang did not even dare to think about it in the past. The reason why it can be completed is mainly due to the large number of craftsmen in our workshop, as well as the hydraulic stamping machine tool you made earlier, which played a vital role! All these are the result of everyone's sweating day and night. , It doesn't have much to do with Zhang~!"
Li Zexuan patted Zhang Hongsheng on the shoulder and smiled: "Hongsheng, you are humble! It is enough to let these thousands of craftsmen work together and twist into a rope~! Haha! With these new armors, The power of the court must be stronger than ever~!"
Zhang Hongsheng stared at the words and said in surprise: "Master Hou, is there a war in the court recently~?"
Normally, this guy just immersed himself in the iron, naturally he did not hear about the recent tensions between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. In addition, ordinary people did not know the specific time of the war between the court and the Turks. Only the civil and military officials knew the approximate time. That's it!
Li Zexuan looked down, nodded, and said, "Yeah! This war is related to the national fortune of Tang Dynasty~!"
Zhang Hongsheng's eyes dazzled, and he asked in a deep voice, "It is related to the national fortune of Datang? Could it be that Datang is about to go to war with Turks?"
Li Zexuan thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Alright!"
Zhang Hongsheng took a deep breath, and he murmured: "Oh! I knew that, Zhang should lead the craftsmen to build this batch of armor more quickly. If this is a delay, I will die. what!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Hongsheng, you don't have to blame yourself, your speed is beyond my expectations! If this speed is faster, I am afraid it will be difficult to guarantee the quality! Haha! The next morning, Benhou will take someone Come and take away these five thousand armors!"
Now that all the armors have been built, he should also leave for the Xuanjia Army barracks!
"Good! Zhang is waiting for Master Hou to come over at any time!"
Zhang Hongsheng arched his hands.
"Yeah! Go ahead and do it! Benhou goes elsewhere!"
The Bingjia incident came to an end for the time being, and Li Zexuan planned to leave the steel mill.
Zhang Hongsheng responded, "Yes! Lord Hou~!"

After leaving the steelmaking plant, Li Zexuan went to the office building of the workshop and found Fu Bo who was reading the newspaper in the office.
Uncle Fu is now very old, and his physical strength is not as good as before. After lunch every noon, he usually takes a lunch break for more than half an hour. At this moment, he has just woke up not long, and is in a state of mental distress. I can read the newspaper and refresh my mind!
"Fu Bo!"
The office door was unlocked, and Li Zexuan pushed the door directly in. After seeing Fu Bo who was sitting on the chair, he quickly stepped forward and said hello.
"Yo~! Master, are you here? Sit down! Sit down~!"
When Fu Bo heard Li Zexuan's voice, he was shocked. He quickly put down the newspaper and stood up and said.
"Haha! Fubo, how are you doing?"
Li Zexuan sat opposite Fu Bo Yiyan, and then he asked with concern.
"Haha! Thank you, Master for your concern, the old body is okay!"
Uncle Fu responded with a smile, and finally he asked: "Master, why are you here today?"
Li Zexuan thought for a while, and said, "There is nothing special. Just come over and see how the armor and equipment are made. In addition, I will leave Lantian County for a while. There is one thing that I need Fubo to help. I arrange for someone to do it!"
Fubur suddenly became interested and asked, "Master, what's the matter? Just tell me!"
At this time, Li Zexuan took out a large stack of rice paper from his sleeve~EbookFREE.me~ and laid it out on the desk in front of Fu Bo. You can see that it is covered with dense lines. Obviously, these are all blueprint!
Uncle Fu narrowed his eyes and subconsciously said: "Haha! It seems that the young master is going to create a novel thing again!"
"It is indeed a new thing, but this new thing will be the most complicated thing we have made since the establishment of the Qiqu Pavilion Workshop~!"
Li Zexuan nodded, pointed to the top drawing, and said: "This thing will be the "mother of industry" of Datang. I call it the machine tool. With it, Datang's industry will take off completely~ !"
"The most complicated thing? The mother of industry? Machine tools~?"
Fu Bo was shocked by Li Zexuan's words. At the end, he couldn't help asking: "Master, the machine tool you mentioned is the same thing as the hydraulic press machine by the Bahe River~ ?"
