Chapter 7236
"This is too scary. The West really has a barbarian temperament." Luo Xingchen raised his lips.

In the eyes of the Central Plains people, the West used to be barbarians.

However, since the last great unified dynasty, the Southern Dynasty collapsed, the world was in chaos, and it was divided into several countries of different sizes. Since then, the Central Plains has been weak.

However, the West has entered the age of great voyages, and its technology and culture are developing rapidly, and now it has faintly surpassed the Central Plains.

The former barbarian, in the eyes of many people, has suddenly transformed into a big shot.

But Luo Xingchen didn't think so...

In his view, the West is currently in a leading position in terms of technology and other aspects. In fact, they still have the barbarian habits in their bones.

What they have always pursued is that the weak prey on the strong, and that power is justice!
It is useless to talk about benevolence and righteousness when dealing with them.

They must be convinced by the real power they have seen.

"I'll try the firecracker to see what's going on."

Luo Xingchen lowered his head, glanced at the firecrackers of different specifications placed on the stage, and first chose a new western style firecracker.

Try others first, then your own.

After a while, Luo Xingchen shook his sore arms, and he already had a conclusion in his mind.

"It's true. Our new gun has better materials and can last longer. At the same time, the cooling time is also shorter."

Luo Xingchen is quite satisfied. Technically speaking, his new firecracker is indeed better.

Don't underestimate this bit of technological progress. In real combat, a little technological progress may be the difference between life and death.

"How many of this kind of firecracker can be produced now? Can it be sent to the front line in a short time?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"Hey, it's hard to say. At present, this kind of steel is not easy to produce. If you want to mass-produce it, I'm afraid it won't be possible." Shen Yicong shook his head and sighed.

"Didn't a new steel factory be built?" Luo Xingchen frowned.

Some time ago, in the outskirts of the capital, near the moat, a new steel factory was built, where iron ore and coal can be transported through the nearby river, which is very convenient.

"There can only be ordinary steel produced there. They can't produce this kind of special steel for making new firecrackers." Shen Yicong said.

"So, only limited preparations are available in the Science and Technology Park?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"Yes, we can produce a hundred or so at present, at most three or four hundred a year, and it will be over. This is still going all out." Shen Yicong said with a wry smile.

"Okay, then send the existing ones to my house. In addition, I will reward the artisans and technicians who participated in this matter, and I will give an extra sum of money." Luo Xingchen said.

"Young master, I'm afraid this is unnecessary."

"Why?"

"The emperor has already rewarded us and issued an imperial decree to reward us, but it needs to be kept secret and cannot be revealed." Shen Yicong said.

"The reward from the emperor does not affect the reward from my side, it will still be done according to the original plan." Luo Xingchen said.

"Okay." Shen Yicong is no longer hypocritical, who would not be happy to get more rewards, besides, these technicians, craftsmen, who have no family members, they also hope that their families will live a good life with them.

"The steel for the new guns is not easy to produce, so what about the steel for the new warships?"

In fact, what Luo Xingchen is most concerned about is not the new firecrackers, but the steel output of the new warships.

Compared with the new-style firecrackers, the new-style warships consume far more steel than the new-style firecrackers.

A ship, if the overall external structure is made of steel, how much will it need!
"It's not enough. The steel required for the new warships is lower than the steel required for the new guns, but the basic corrosion resistance, strength and toughness, etc. must also meet the requirements."

Shen Yicong sighed again.

There is no way, the people in the Science and Technology Park have tried their best, and the newly built factory has also tried their best, but the situation is like this, many things cannot be done in a pinch.

"Do your best. If you need anything, just ask someone to tell me."

Luo Xingchen left a message, and instead of staying in the Science and Technology Garden, he quietly left through the back door.

……

Among the pavilions.

The cold wave from the north is still coming continuously. Although it has entered spring, the discomfort caused by the late spring cold is real.

Feng Qingyan was sitting in the gazebo, surrounded by screens to block the wind, and a stove was beside him, emitting heat from the outside.

A pot of tea is boiled on the stove.

Feng Qingyan drinks tea and likes to drink freshly brewed tea leaves. Even though he is outside in the gazebo at this time, his habit has not changed.

At this time, a person hurriedly came outside and entered the gazebo.

It was the black turban who came, and he said with a smile on his face, "I tell you, the young master, this hunting operation is over."

"Oh? How is it possible?" Feng Qingyan asked immediately as his eyes lit up.

"Those nuns have already been killed."

"Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, leaving no one behind!"

The black turban held everything in his hand and stared.

"Yes, it is indeed good news."

Feng Qingyan raised his eyebrows and said happily.

What happened to Qiao Yun last time made him very annoyed. Those who betrayed him would not even think about living. However, due to their busy schedule, there was no time to deal with it.

This time the assassination of Feng Tiyi failed, Feng Qingyan thought, first find a few easy targets to test the waters.

Facts have proved that the power of the imperial court is also limited and cannot cover everything.

In this way, there is room for him to operate.

"Since the matter has been completed, don't go out until recently, and wait for the things we have prepared to start."

What Feng Qingyan meant was that the members of the family had already been exposed, and if someone found out when they went out, they would be in serious trouble.

After all, killing people in the capital is not a big deal, but killing the whole family must be a big deal.

He can't be held accountable.

"Master, what do the people over there say? Didn't they agree to launch it before the Dragon Boat Festival?" Black Turban asked.

"We haven't set a specific time, we are still discussing." Feng Qingyan said lightly.

They are all ready, but preparation is one thing, and actually launching it is another.

The so-called plan cannot keep up with changes, no matter how well arranged in advance, it cannot match the changes in the current situation.

"Your Majesty, I ordered that the newly-appointed twelve county kings each train a team of one hundred people for a period of three months. After three months, they will compete in team battles." Feng Qingyan said.

"Young master, isn't this the form of the Grand Competition of the Imperial Guard? The kings of the twelve counties, they are not generals, and they are asked to train a team of hundreds of people, but why?" The black turban was confused.

The emperor should choose the heir, and that should consider the ability of the county kings to govern the country, not the ability of martial arts.

What's more, training the centurion is not even a martial arts strategy.

"The emperor has his own intentions, we don't know, just let him, everything changes according to circumstances." Feng Qingyan said.
