Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

At this moment, Gan Ning's legs were a little weak, and he barely stood up with one hand dragging Lu Jun's shoulder, but his heart was still extremely weak. .

"That, this, we don't want the big ship." After calming down for a while, Gan Ning said slowly with struggle.

"How could it not be possible?" Lu Jun didn't know where to give birth to a force, and roared while tugging at Gan Ning's lapel, "This is a big ship, this is painstaking effort, this is a big ship that is almost linked to invincibility. ship!"

"The problem is, you said so much, do you have so much money, 50 billion yuan, although I, Gan Ning, is quite rich, but 50 billion yuan, our Han Dynasty's tax revenue is so much a year?" Gan Ning turned his head and pushed Lu Jun, who was screaming at his lapel, with his hands. He is a bastard, but his brain is very reliable. This battleship is not so much lacking in construction costs, but rather in lack of construction materials!

"Let's stay calm and calm. If the ship costs 10 billion, I'll take it out after gritting my teeth." Gan Ning comforted him. The material cost of 50 billion is really insane. It's basically impossible to get it done.

"Then give me 10 billion first, and let me build first." Lu Jun said without restraint. When Gan Ning said it was 10 billion, Lu Jun's eyes lit up.

"I said I was gnashing my teeth, but it doesn't mean I have it now!" Gan Ning almost touched his head to the ground. Although he robbed the Indian Ocean pirates and the port city of Cambay Bay, he is still far away from ten billion dollars. , but within reach.

"You don't know many aspects of this country as deeply as I do." Seeing that Lu Jun was asking for money, Gan Ning was silent for a while, and was about to give Lu Jun some advice, "I know a lot about this country because of the reason selected by Chen Hou. On the one hand, this battleship, as far as I can see, if it is a pure steel structure, it needs tens of thousands of catties of iron, and we don't have so much steel at all."

"No, under the new weight and measure, it only needs 30,000 tons." Lu Jun curled his lips and said, "As for steel products, the Luzhong Steel Factory still has savings of several thousand tons."

"There is an upper limit on output." Gan Ning said with a sigh, "Jicai, give up, this ship can't be built if you fill it in. Although I don't know what kind of unit is 30,000 tons, but in my In my impression, it will take two to three years to produce all these steel materials, and even if they are produced, it is impossible for you to do all of them.”

Gan Ning's explanation made Lu Jun's face turn pale. He considered many aspects, but he didn't consider the production capacity. Too bad, there are always some other things mixed in.

This also leads to the fact that the output of high-quality steel is actually very low, which is why China has always had the highest level of steelmaking technology in the feudal era since the Han Dynasty, but the steel produced can only be said to be usable.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, the weapons used by countries in Central Asia, such as Arabia, and Europe, such as Byzantium, had caught up with the Central Plains. By the time of the Song Dynasty, foreign iron tools had even begun to counteract the Central Plains iron tools.

It's not that the steelmaking technology in Europe and Central Asia is so good. To be honest, their technology barely reached the level of the Three Kingdoms at that time, but they can't stand up to the quality of their ore!

Iron ore that can be directly used for calcination and casting, such as high-grade magnetite, the iron content directly exceeds 70%, and ten catties can produce seven catties of iron. Relying on forging iron will not work.

This is why Europe developed such wonderful knight outfits as tin cans after the fifth century. To put it bluntly, it is because the iron ore there is of good grade and has few impurities, so it can be used casually. Casting method can also be shipped.

As for China, iron ore reserves are very high, but there are very few high-grade ores, and there are even fewer that can be directly thrown into the blast furnace for smelting, so the technology has been crazily strengthened, but the problem is technology. It cannot be advanced overnight, and subject to the environment, there may be no way for technology to distance itself from the opponent's barbaric ironmaking method.

By the way, let’s talk about the Celts, one of the earliest peoples in the world who mastered iron-making technology. However, their iron-making technology cannot be called technology. It is purely because the grade of iron ore is high enough. The incompletely combustible carbon reacts with the ore to form iron, a frenzied and untechnical casting method...

"Well, it's impossible for me to turn back." After hesitating for a long time, Lu Jun confessed to Gan Ning. From Lu Jun's point of view, Gan Ning is a brother who can be trusted and must be trusted, so there is nothing he cannot say.

Gan Ning was dumbfounded, are you really that submissive and timid buddy Lu Jun I've seen? Why do I feel that you have completely subverted your previous image!

"That's about it. I don't think it's possible for me to turn back now, but it's good, so I don't have to worry about what's there. I want to build him!" Lu Jun saw Gan Ning completely stunned. , suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect that I, Lu Jun, could do something that surprised Xingba so much that he couldn't even speak!"

"You mentally handicapped!" Gan Ning punched Lu Jun on the back of the head, knocking Lu Jun unconscious. Do you know what you are doing? If I take you to surrender now, I can still save you You, no one can keep you later!

Gan Ning knocked Lu Jun unconscious with one punch, and then put Lu Jun's head down on his shoulders. Before the incident happened, he had to find someone who could cover it up, otherwise, what Lu Jun was doing now Well, those people who pulled him in would not be enough to pay for the Lu family. If Lu Jun were to be cheated this time, he would really offend too many people, so many that Gan Ning would keep it.

What's more, Gan Ning vaguely sensed the hidden danger behind this. There are too many people and facts involved in this matter.

When Gan Ning knocked Lu Jun unconscious with a punch, Jia Mu also came to the Lu family shipyard for inspection with a checklist. After all, although this shipyard is nominally owned by the Lu family, in fact the official relationship behind it is very strong. Yes, this is half of the state-owned assets, so it is naturally meaningful to participate in the audit.

Of course, the Lu family shipyard was not on the audit list, but during the time when Jia Mu came down, he found that many strange materials flowed to the Lu family shipyard. Chen Xi's level of instruction, but counting the numbers, Jia Mu thinks this is unscientific!

Whose shipyard needs 2,000 tons of high-quality steel for armor and weapons? Even if there are official instructions, this amount is too large.

In addition, Jia Mu is audited from the central government, and many things can be found out. It is inexplicable to find that Lu Jun has recently engaged in a lot of activities involving large amounts of money. Man Chong has recently paid special attention to the flow of large amounts of money. , Jia Mu will also stare at him habitually.

Looking at the list involved, the top five wealthy merchants include the Zhen family, the Wu family, and local tyrants in the Central Plains such as Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang, and Sun Min. They are all on the list, and then look at Liu Zhang, Yuan Shu, and Zhou Yu. Dude, plus people like Gongsun Gong and Shi Xie who are not short of money, and counting the big and small families involved, Jia Mu couldn't help but think about it.

After all, after a rough search, Jia Mu really couldn't calm down. The amount of money and various materials involved by Lu Jun has already exceeded tens of billions. What is he trying to do?

By the way, apart from Jia Mu, someone from Cao Cao also came to contact him, hoping to buy hundreds of tons of high-quality steel from Lu Jun. Of course, this is just to think about it. Not enough for myself.

Of course, Cao Cao also has an official contact with Liu Bei, hoping to buy a batch of high-quality steel personnel. This person is called Lu Qian, and he is here to communicate this matter. However, apart from the official figures, there are other channels in private. After all, Cao Cao is not absolutely sure whether he can buy steel from Chen Xi.

However, the people who came to contact Lu Jun have not yet hooked up with Lu Jun.

As for Jia Mu's determination of the problem, although he also felt that he was a little meddling, in the end he couldn't hold back his curiosity and came secretly to see what the Lu family wanted to do. Seeing Gan Ning carrying Lu Jun and rushing out.

"Uh, General Gan!" Jia Mu was taken aback, and immediately bowed and saluted.

"You, by the way, you are Jia Junshi's son, Jia Suzhi, why are you here?" Gan Ning looked at Jia Mu with familiarity, and it took him a while to realize, isn't this Jia Xu's eldest son? But it looks much more heroic than in previous years.

"Audit." After a while, Jia Mu scanned everyone with sharp eyes, and said coldly and mercilessly. This is the biggest change in Jia Mu after taking down a group of people recently. "Come to audit the Lu family shipyard. In the current situation, there are problems with the flow of steel and funds!"

For such a long time now, the biggest difference is that Jia Mu has become calmer and has learned to create his own advantages in chaotic situations. No matter whether he has problems or not, he must first determine his own nature to avoid being unknown!

"Audit?" Gan Ning was silent for a while, then nodded. Jia Xu, as the core figure in the civil service system, sent his eldest son to do this job. I don't know if Jia Mu came here because of this, or if he came here by accident.

If it is aimed at this, then I am afraid that someone at the upper level is going to get out of the way. Someone is going to use Jiamu as a raft, and Rajaxu will go into the water to clean up and suppress a wave of Chen Xi. Whether it is a businessman, an aristocratic family, or The shipyard, the navy, and Chen Xi are standing behind them!
