Chapter 181 The Kingdom

"Well, all you want is this thunder." Zhuo Bufan nodded with satisfaction, came to the tail of the cannon, and watched the cannon bar open with his own eyes, and the brass shell with hot air slide out and landed on the sandy ground.

Bi Maokang and Zhao Shizhen also came to Zhuo Bufan, but their eyes were wet. Zhuo Bufan's sure finally made them feel relieved. The development of the Dragon Cannon still experienced too many setbacks. It took a year, and several accidents occurred during this period. Even Zhao Shizhen himself was injured. Thinking of the way he was blown to the point of being black-headed and gray-faced, and the old worker Lao Wang who died heroically because of the development of a new flowering bullet, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Wang can rest in peace." Bi Maokang murmured with tears in his eyes.

Zhuo Bufan was moved when he heard this and sighed: "If you want to succeed, it is never easy. It is natural to come true, and difficulties and setbacks are inevitable. Lao Wang is a good example. In the future, we will erect a monument. All those who contribute to the rise of China and even sacrifice their lives will never forget them."

The two experts were moved and bowed and shed tears when they heard this. On behalf of all the experts and technicians on the trunk line of science and technology, they were full of gratitude.

Sweeping away the melancholy, Zhuo Bufan looked at the still steaming shell and sighed: "This is indeed a money-burning thing."

You should know that in this era, copper is a scarce material for circulating currency. Such a shell is inconspicuous in modern society. In this era, it is equivalent to casting copper coins of the same volume. Moreover, what Zhuo Bufan wants is not a few or hundreds, but thousands.

"General, he can actually be made of iron sheet, but the sealing may be worse, but it can also be used." Zhao Shizhen said after hearing this that he has a lot of experience in rear-loading firearms and ammunition.

"No, I want the best. The Shenlong Army wants to use the best. The cost issue is not what you consider." Zhuo Bufan said firmly: "I think the Shenlong cannon and shells can be finalized. Let's start preparing for mass production. As long as there are raw materials, your production will continue."

People from the Military Science and Technology Bureau were cheering when they heard this. Mass production means that their research has been successful. The next focus is mass production and quality supervision. Nowadays, the military technology of Shenlong Base has formed a complete system from development, experiments to production. Thanks to the contribution of Fu Wansheng, the chief engineer of the Science and Technology Bureau, of course, Zhuo Bufan is indispensable to the help provided by Zhuo Bufan based on modern project-based management knowledge. Zhuo Bufan leads the way, Fu Wansheng improves and organizes it, and makes continuous improvements in the production research link. This way of development and progress is now reflected in Shenlong Mountain in major scientific and technological fields from military to people's livelihood. As for administrative issues, Zhuo Yin, the former left-minister of Dahua, will never go astray, and Zhuo Bufan is also happy to be relaxed, otherwise he will not be exhausted.

The Dragon Cannon has finally been finalized, and Zhuo Bufan's current thinking has once again changed to the basic problem, that is, the biggest problem, efficiency and cost we are facing at present.

From a military perspective, what restricts the development of the Shenlong Army is the speed of production, and the main reason why production is not enough is the most basic mining and smelting. For example, the most critical copper for advanced ammunition is needed to think of more solutions. Zhuo Bufan already has plans in his mind. He has no shortage of capable people, such as Song Yingxing, the author of Tiangong Kaiwu who was transferred by his father to serve as the prefect of Bozhou, and Qu Zhi, who has a lot of experience in the field of smelting, processing and casting. What he now needs to do is to solve the problems of resources, costs and manpower from a strategic level.

Tired, really tired. What Zhuo Bufan has the most experience now is the word "tired". Speaking of which, this is just Shenlong Mountain, the base of the Shenlong Army, but it is actually an independent kingdom. As the top leader who actually looks at the overall situation, Zhuo Bufan is busy even if he is cheating. This is not the life he wants.

Walking on the mountain road back to the General's Mansion of Shenlong Mountain, looking at the little bell that was as energetic as a deer in front of him, Zhuo Bufan smiled sly. It seemed that he still had to push the work at hand out, hehe.

The General Mansion of Shenlong Mountain is no longer the same as before. The original wooden houses have been replaced with a spacious and bright house with grey stone, a large front and back yard, and there are even gardens and flowers in the yard. Zhuo Bufan actually doesn't care about these things, but the logistics department in charge of the construction dares not neglect. In their words, our dignified General Mansion can't actually be too shabby. This is not the matter of you, General, it is not related to the face of our Shenlong Mountain. Zhuo Bufan is very satisfied with the people of Shenlong Mountain becoming clearer and clearer, so he let them do it.

The personal guards at the door held a gun and saluted, and the inner servants led by Chunsu, Qiu and Winter welcomed and served. Zhuo Bufan just took off his cloak that blocked the dew in the mountains and went straight to the main hall, where the leaders of various departments of Shenlong Mountain had gathered.

After entering the main hall, Zhuo Bufan saw his father Zhuo Yinzheng having a quick conversation with the leaders of various departments in full spirit. As the head of administration, Zhuo Yinzheng was like a fish in water. Here, he was really working for himself, the Shenlong Army and even the future of China. This busyness also greatly relieved his longing for Song Jia.

Zhuo Bufan did not interrupt his father and sat aside to have tea and rest. The father in front of him was much better than when he first came to Shenlong Mountain a year ago, and he was quite happy. Aunt Luoshui has been living with Zhuo Yin and Zhuo Bufan in the general's mansion, just like his father's wife, taking care of Zhuo Yin's daily life. However, she and his father were indeed separated from each other and never mentioned the meaning of being together. Zhuo Bufan also had the intention to match them, because he knew that only in this way could the father truly come out of the shadow of his mother's departure.

"Mom, you must hope that the spirit of heaven is like this. You won't blame the child." Zhuo Bufan said in his heart, and his mother Song Jia's voice and smile during his lifetime sounded. Hedong's appearance with his hips on his face, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Laugh, you guy is relaxing now, right? You pushed everything on your father, are you trying to exhaust me to death?" At this time, the conversation in the venue had ended. Zhuo Yin was angry and angry, but there was a hint of relief on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, Dad. You are so biased. I'm so busy that you are wise and powerful. Look, I've been presiding on the test-firing of the Dragon Cannon early this morning, and I've just arrived back!" Zhuo Bufan shouted with a grievance.

"Get out!" Zhuo Yin, who has always been elegant, actually learned to swear and said relentlessly: "You think you don't know you, and you hang out with them all day long. If it weren't for your Aunt Luoshui and I, you would be afraid that you would have to get a deputy army out in this Shenlong Mountain."

No one here is outsiders. Zhuo Er from the Logistics Department, Bai Bing, deputy commander of the Shenlong Army, Fu Wansheng, Fu, wife of the general and minister of the Science and Technology Department, Xueer, commander of the Shenyin Camp of the secret service, Tong Lao, who is directly under the military medical camp, etc., burst into laughter when he heard this. Zhuo Bufan smacked his lips and said nothing. He almost tried to restore the memory of Xiaoling every day, and his relationship with Xueer was slowly being cultivated. He had already started to practice the life and health practice in the Sunflower Book under the guidance of Tong Lao, and the desire for love between men and women has increased instead of reducing. His wife Fu Wansheng is now very busy. The four good maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter share the glorious and arduous task of serving the bed with Fu Wansheng. The people living in the courtyard can often hear the fierce battle situation.

"I, I didn't delay the serious matter..." Zhuo Bufan scratched his head and argued with shamelessness, which made everyone burst into laughter.

"Hey, aren't we doing a serious matter at the meeting today? How did we make it my criticism and confrontation?" Zhuo Bufan stopped.

When everyone heard this, they gradually suppressed their smiles. Zhuo Yin also said seriously: "Yes, let's start. The situation in Dahua is not good now. The people we sent outside the pass have already returned. The supplies cannot pass through Haishan Pass and can only be handed over to Haishan Guards, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to deliver them to General Hong."

Zhuo Bufan frowned and said, "Zhou Zijin really wants to do this? Dahua is over, and he is over. This old thief is really a disaster that harms the country and the people. It's better to find an opportunity to kill him."

Zhuo Yin said: "Hey, it's not that killing Zhou Zijin can solve the problem. Behind him is the entire old imperial party's power. Now he is a one-handed person in the court. General Hong helped you before, and Zhou Zijin will not forget this. It seems that they want to take this opportunity to get rid of General Hong. Humph, if Dahua is over, they may not be finished. These guys have such a face."

Zhuo Bufan shook his head helplessly. Dahua has many talented people, patriots, heroes, and heroes, as well as traitors, lackeys, traitors, scumbags.

Although Zhuo Yin and Zhuo Bufan officially left the court, they did not let go. They were also very stalemate. Moreover, the longer Hong Chengchou insisted, the more beneficial it would be to the Shenlong Army. For this reason, Zhuo Bufan specially organized a batch of combat materials that continued outside the pass, such as flowering bullets specially produced for red-clothed cannons. However, they could not be delivered directly to Hong Chengchou.

"Isn't the General of Haishan Pass General Wu Sijian?" Zhuo Bufan remembered the heroic general who had annihilated Dorgon's surprise attack with him. Although he had always suspected that he was Wu Sangui, who led Qing troops into the pass in history, from his contact, he was not a traitor and evil person, but just a little speculative.

"I know Wu Sijian, but now a general is stationed in Haishan Pass, who is Zhou Zijin's man, so he probably has no choice." Zhuo Yin explained after hearing this.

The field was silent for a long time, and Zhuo Bufan broke the silence and sighed: "We just need to do our best. General Hong should be able to hold on for a long time. At present, we still need to develop quickly and develop rapidly. By the way, the Shenlong cannon will soon be mass-produced, and the later Shenlong Army training is very important. I want to personally supervise the army. Dad, hehe, you can take more responsibility for the matter of Shenlong Mountain."
