All Heavens: Start with a Heavenly Dao Building

Four months later.

Many people gathered in the square in front of the General's Mansion, including craftsmen, civil officials, and a large number of military generals.

Chen Qilin was invited by Ying Zheng to come here.

They all came to watch the craftsmen of the General's Mansion display iron weapons made with the latest technology.

When the military generals learned that iron weapons were going to compete with copper weapons, they all expressed doubts!

"Is there any need to compare? Iron weapons are not as good as copper weapons at all!"

"It is well known that iron weapons are very fragile, and this comparison is meaningless!"

"Yes, in the Qin Dynasty, iron can only be used to make farm tools, how can it be used to forge weapons? Soldiers holding iron weapons go to the battlefield, and they are not suppressed by the enemy?"

Chen Qilin's mouth corners slightly raised when he heard this, and a smile appeared.

According to the inherent thinking of the Qin Dynasty's military generals, it is indeed true that iron is not as good as copper.

Because the Qin Dynasty's iron smelting technology is relatively backward, and the weapons forged with iron are very brittle and are not a match for copper weapons at all.

Therefore, the Qin army was basically equipped with copper weapons with very mature smelting technology.

At this time, Ying Zheng stood up and said, "Everyone, please be patient!"

When His Majesty spoke, everyone kept silent.

Ying Zheng said, "Compare the new iron weapons with the bronze weapons!"

"Yes!" Gong Shuyu, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, clasped his fists.

Soon, a copper sword and a steel sword were sent up by the craftsman.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, two soldiers grabbed a copper sword and a steel sword respectively.

"Kill!!!"

The two men roared and swung their swords to chop each other.

"Clang clang clang!"

The two swords collided fiercely, sparks flew, and clangs were heard.

"Kacha!"

After several chop-cuts, accompanied by a crisp sound, the copper sword broke into two pieces and fell to the ground with a "bang".

At this moment, the scene was silent.

All the generals and civil officials couldn't help but stare with their eyes wide open, full of incredible colors!

Chen Qilin, Ying Zheng, Wang Ben and other people who knew the inside story did not show any surprise on their faces!

Everything was as expected!

The smelting data provided by Chen Qilin was the data for smelting high-carbon steel, and the technology far exceeded the current Qin Dynasty iron smelting technology.

After proper heat treatment or cold drawing hardening, high carbon steel has high strength and hardness, high elastic limit and fatigue limit.

The performance of the war sword forged by such advanced technology is naturally much better than that of the copper war sword!

After a short silence, fierce discussions broke out at the scene.

"I... am I not seeing wrong? The iron sword actually cut the copper sword off?"

"This is simply unbelievable!"

"I don't believe it, it must be that the copper sword is not of good quality! Your Majesty, please let me compare my sword with the steel sword!"

There were even generals who wanted to go on stage in person.

Ying Zheng nodded: "Go!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The burly general said, and strode to the center of the square.

Clang!

The general pulled out the copper sword that the General's Office had carefully made for the generals, and chopped against the steel sword in the soldier's hand.

Crack!

After no more than ten chops, the copper sword broke into two pieces.

This scene once again shocked everyone.

Ying Zheng stood up and said majestically: "I now announce that the copper weapons of my Qin army will be gradually replaced by iron weapons, which can also be said to be steel weapons!"

"Your Majesty is wise, and the Qin is mighty!!!"

The generals and soldiers knelt on the ground and shouted.

At this moment, they have been conquered by the strength of steel weapons!

The generals believe that after the Qin army is equipped with new iron weapons, its combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and it will be more invincible on the battlefield!

Today, Ying Zheng asked the generals to come and watch. The purpose of the General's Office displaying new iron weapons is:

It is to let the generals have a new understanding of iron weapons, so as to facilitate the promotion of iron weapons in the whole army in the future.

This matter is over, and I came to the imperial study.

Ying Zheng clasped his fists to Chen Qilin and said proudly:

"Sir, the new technical information you gave me is really powerful. If all the weapons and equipment in the information are produced, I am confident that the whole world will kneel at my feet!"

Chen Qilin smiled and said:

"Of course, these technologies are beyond this era. It is natural to beat other countries!

Your Majesty, you must hurry up and prepare. I want to go out with your Majesty to conquer the world as soon as possible!"

"Haha, sir, don't worry, I am already making full preparations, and all aspects are advancing rapidly!

Three years, at most three years! I will join hands with you to lead the expedition and let the world kneel at your feet!" Ying Zheng laughed heartily.

...

Under Ying Zheng's generous reward, Gongshu Yu also worked hard and led the craftsmen of the General's Mansion to work overtime non-stop.

Hope to use the shortest time to manufacture all the equipment in the information of Mr. Tiandaolou.

Nine months later

The first red cannon was produced by the General Works Office of the Qin Dynasty. No, it has now been renamed the Qin Cannon.

When Ying Zheng and his husband witnessed the power of this cannon, he could not help but be deeply shocked!

Chen Qilin, on the other hand, looked calm and unsurprised.

Ying Zheng clapped his hands and praised: "Great! With this national treasure, who in the world can resist the Qin Iron Army?"

The next month.

Another small cannon was produced, called the Tiger Crouching Cannon (invented by Qi Jiguang, a famous general in the Ming Dynasty who fought against the Japanese pirates). It is relatively light and suitable for use in mountainous areas.

It made up for the deficiency of the heavy artillery of the Qin Dynasty (red cannon).

One year later.

The first musket was made by the General's Office, and Ying Zheng personally conducted a test firing.

Although this musket was a short gun, loaded with iron balls, which was similar to a bird gun, Ying Zheng still praised it and loved it.

This first musket of the Qin Dynasty also became Ying Zheng's imperial gun.

One and a half years later.

The first Fu ship of the Qin Dynasty was launched.

Then, the Fu ships were launched like dumplings.

One year and nine months later.

The first treasure ship of the Qin Dynasty was successfully launched in Sishui County.

While the various cross-era weapons and equipment of the Qin Dynasty were being rapidly built, the training of the Southern Expedition Army and the Navy was also in full swing, and the results were quite good.

Ying Zheng specially summoned the first Wu champion Han Xin and Wu runner-up Peng Yue from the northern border to train the Southern Expedition Army with Wang Ben.

The total number of troops in the Southern Expedition has reached 600,000, and it is still being expanded...

According to Ying Zheng's request, when he and Chen Qilin personally lead the expedition, the number of troops in the Southern Expedition must reach 1 million.

It can be seen how big Ying Zheng's ambition is.

The Southern Expedition consists of multiple arms:

[Jungle Soldiers] who are good at fighting in mountains and tropical jungles;

[Heavy Cavalry] who are good at charging;

[Light Cavalry] who are good at chasing and fighting;

[Artillery] who are good at attacking cities and strongholds;

[Musketeers] who are good at using muskets;

[Iron Eagle Sharps] who are good at infiltration, raids and act as all-round special forces.

In addition, the Qin Navy, which is trained by Tu Sui, has also made good progress.

The total number of the navy is tentatively set by Ying Zheng as 100,000, and it may be increased as appropriate in the future.

With the rapid progress of various preparations, Chen Qilin is also full of expectations for the journey to conquer Europe, Asia and Africa...
