Global Games: I am invincible
Chapter 168
Zhang Heng quickly led people forward to salute。
“Grass people pay homage to your lord!”
“Get up.
Lu Ming didn’t want to waste any more words and asked directly: “Is there any saltpeter in the caravan? ” Zhang
Heng stood up, respectfully opened the cover of the carriage, revealing bags of saltpeter inside, and said, “I have lived up to your trust, sir. This is saltpeter, totaling two thousand kilograms.” ”
Saltpeter is expensive and the output is scarce. It took Zhang Heng’s ability to obtain it within two months. In addition, the sulfur, flint, iron, cotton and oil paper that Lu Ming mentioned before are also indispensable in the fleet.
More of it is sugar cane.
Compared with the preciousness and price of white sugar, these goods are not worth mentioning.
According to the optimal ratio of black gunpowder, 2,000 pounds of saltpeter can probably be used to make 3,000 pounds of black gunpowder. Even if such a stock is real It can be used to fight a big battle.
After granulating it and then mixing it with sugar, 3,000 kilograms of black powder can produce more than 100,000 rounds. Even explosive packets can be made into many. Depending on the power of an explosive packet, the amount of gunpowder is about
10 To 50 kilograms, if there is not enough black powder in stock, Lu Ming would not dare to make it at will.
With this batch of saltpeter,
Lu Ming’s confidence has greatly increased.。
“grown ups.
Zhang Heng looked at the carriage behind the caravan and said, “Behind this is the sugar cane you want. Due to the limited carriages, not much sugar cane was transported this time. “。”
“There was no need to bring sugar cane anymore. ”
Zhang Heng’s expression suddenly changed.。
“Sir, we had agreed before……”
He thought Lu Ming had regretted it。
“Don’t worry too much. Lu
Ming patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder and comforted him: “What I mean is that there is no need to transport sugar cane in the future. Instead, it will be planted by Xin’an Town so that white sugar can be produced directly. Our transaction will not be affected.”。”
“call——”
Zhang Heng’s mood was up and down. He felt relieved after hearing what Lu Ming said. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It’s better this way. This way my caravan can deliver more goods to you.” Lu Ming nodded
.。
“That’s exactly what it means. ”
The messy sound of horse hoofbeats sounded.
Zhang Heng was startled. He thought it was the Beishuo people who were chasing him. When he looked back, he realized that it was the armed guards from Xin’an Town. His eyes widened.。
“This seems to be the horse of Beishuo people? ! ”
The Wuwei army stopped in front of Lu Ming. Everyone had bows and arrows and sabers seized from the Beishuo people in their hands. They all stood up and dismounted. They all gave a military salute
to Lu Ming.
One group after another stepped forward and said, “Sir, Fortunately, we did not disgrace our orders and killed all the people in Beishuo. This is the captured ordnance!”
“Very good.
Lu Ming ordered: “Take the soldiers to rest. “。”
“yes! ”
The armed guards had sabers on their waists and flintlock rifles and bows and arrows on their backs. Their killing aura made people feel chills down their spines. Compared with them, the guards of the caravan stood out. Zhang Heng was stunned. With
these
hundred Can the caller kill all the Beishuo people’s plundering troops? When did Dacheng’s army have such amazing combat effectiveness?
He immediately realized that the combat effectiveness of the armed guards in Xin’an Town seemed a bit strong!
Zhang Heng’s The arrival made the batch of sugar cane that Lu Ming had previously stored put to use, otherwise it would be damaged if it continued to be stored.
Zhang Heng and others were arranged to rest.
Lu Ming walked into the warehouse alone and ordered: “Divide those sugar canes Deliver batches to the warehouse. ”
Soon。

……
Batch after ba
(Read more novels by visiting our website: Knights Novel) tch of sugar cane is sent into the warehouse, and then turned into a pile of residue and pulled out, and so on until all the sugar cane is turned into white sugar.
When Zhang Heng walked into the warehouse and saw half the warehouse filled with sugar, he was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, his hands trembling in disbelief.
He couldn’t wait to take a bite, and the sweet taste spread in his mouth.
Sugar!
It’s really all white sugar!
He never dreamed that he would see so much sugar here. Zhang Heng said excitedly: “Sir, is it really up to me to buy all this sugar?”
“certainly. ”
Lu Ming said: “I know that the goods and money you brought during this trip will not be enough to pay for the goods. I allow you to make up for it the next time you come back. This is just the first delivery. If your caravan can grow in the future, , I can satisfy your needs as much sugar as you want, it depends on whether you can swallow it. ”
Zhang Heng’s face turned red.
He was so excited that he couldn’t control it.
He immediately knelt down in front of Lu Ming, showing his sincerity: “Thank you for your love, sir. If you ask for anything in the future, just ask me. Zhang will do his best. Never give up! ”
When Lu Ming left.
Zhang Heng looked at the large amount of sugar in the warehouse and couldn’t control the smile on his face. With Lu Ming’s connection, the Zhang family would be the richest in the world!
“Come in and load the goods! ”
He roared outside.
After the caravan members came in, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them.。
“This, this, this… how much silver is this worth! ! ”
There is no sugar in front of me.
It is clearly a mountain of gold and silver.
In addition to a lot of saltpeter and sulfur, Zhang Heng’s trip also brought Lu Ming a lot of iron, cotton and oil paper. The iron can be used to make flintlock guns.
Cotton can be soaked in gunpowder and dried to make fuses, while oil paper allows Lu Ming to make a large number of paper shells to stabilize the firing power of the flintlock gun. The artillery is not in a hurry, an artillery must not
only It consumes a lot of iron, and cannonballs are also heavy on iron, and they also consume a lot of gunpowder.
With Lu Ming’s current wealth, he can’t afford it. The
follow-up technology tree of the artillery is not in a hurry to unlock, so it is temporarily put on hold until the gunpowder and iron Enough, that’s when the artillery comes on stage。
【Flintlock · Manufacturing completed】
【Flintlock gun·iron projectile·production completed】
【Black powder·Production completed】
【Black powder, gunpowder granulation, and production completed】
【Black powder, paper case fixed ammunition, manufacturing completed]
A series of accelerated manufacturing.
The iron brought by Zhang Heng was used by Lu Ming to make 200 flintlock guns and a large number of iron projectiles, of which a large amount of black powder was made into paper shells with oil paper.
Reserve the remainder for other uses.
Lu Ming was in a happy mood: “In this way, there will be 400 flintlock guns.”
This will undoubtedly greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Armed Guards. On the other hand, the increase in the number of the Armed Guards also improved the combat effectiveness.
Correspondingly, the ammunition consumption of shooting training also increases, which is necessary if shooting training is further reduced in order to save ammunition.
That will only lead to a decrease in the shooting proficiency of the armed guards, thereby leading to a decrease in combat effectiveness, which is really unnecessary.
Zhang Heng came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
After loading the sugar, he took the caravan to say goodbye to Lu Ming and return. If he didn’t go back quickly, once winter came, the cold on the border would really freeze people to death.
A long line of caravans and carriages left Xin’an Town, and the armed guards escorted Zhang Heng all the way until they were sent to the outside of the mountain.
