Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

She was promoted to Liu Xiangning as a Ji from the sixth rank.

Although Zhao Yuannu entered the palace last, and his status was not very honorable.

However, because she was pregnant with a dragon species, Zhaoyi was specially promoted to the third level.

If a prince or princess is successfully born in the future, his rank will be raised again.

Both Li Shishi and Liu Xiangning were envious of such a decision.

After all, just after entering the palace, he could sit in such a high position and wear such gorgeous begonia red palace clothes.

This is really something that very few people can do.

But in the place where flowers and brocades are planted, I don’t feel much about these.

Planting flowers, she feels that as long as her family is safe and her husband is happy and worry-free, it is the most peaceful thing in the world for her.

Other than that, to her, there really was nothing to care about.

On the other hand, what about Zhong Sijin?

Ever since she was taken away from her body by Zhao Ji, who was half-coaxed and half-cheated, she has been feeling mixed emotions in her heart.

So she didn't feel much about this upgrade.

On the contrary, I heard that from then on, I could get a good amount of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs every month.

In my heart, I just felt a little happy.

But if she learns that those beautiful ladies in the palace, if they have no special advantages, will most likely not be able to rise to the level of the two sisters in this life. After such a high rank, she doesn't know what she will do in her heart. Thoughts.

When Zhao Ji came here, he solved the two problems of Zhong Sijin and Zhao Yuannu.

Then he focused his attention on the military industry.

Although the current Song Dynasty still seems to be a harmonious scene.

But Zhao Ji knew very well in his heart that the current harmony was just the calm before the storm.

If those heavy firearms are not made as soon as possible.

Zhao Ji's heart was always uneasy.

When Zhao Ji called Shen Kuo, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to the minister's room with anticipation, he asked about the progress of his research and development.

But he also learned some news that he was looking forward to from Shen Kuo's mouth:

"When I return to the official home, although our Ministry of Industry has not yet made a complete version of the tank."

"But the development progress of tanks and combat vehicles has also reached the final stage."

"The problem of miniaturization of artillery has been solved with the joint efforts of Ling Zhenling, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, and other officials from the Ministry of Industry."

"And the small artillery was successfully integrated with the steel chariot."

"It also produced the rough appearance of the complete tank and chariot that the officials had kept in mind before this."

"And that kind of tank combat vehicle can also successfully shoot out artillery shells while traveling at high speed."

"But in terms of hit rate, it's really not that good."

"Although the assembled tanks and combat vehicles remain stationary to test the artillery system, the hit rate is pretty good."

"But once it starts traveling, it is really difficult to hit the target amid repeated bumps."

"For this reason, Wei Chen has gathered all the officials from the Ministry of Industry to discuss the matter countless times."

"But we still haven't found a good solution."

"But if that kind of tank vehicle needs to stop before firing cannonballs."

"Then what's the point of manufacturing this kind of tank?"

"It's better to make some lightweight artillery and let the horses pull it away."

"Officials, in fact, during this period of time, the officials under Wei Chen have not told Wei Chen."

"I would like to suggest that the officials give up on manufacturing such tanks and combat vehicles, which are difficult and have low hit accuracy, and instead develop some combat weapons that can be towed by only one or even two horses to move freely. .”

"But after hearing this, Wei Chen thought about it again and felt that it was inappropriate to take it seriously."

"After all, those tanks and chariots can withstand the enemy's arrow attacks, but those war horses cannot."

"If those war horses encounter the enemy's cavalry and archery team, they will only become living targets."

"Even if those horses are put on heavy armor, their movement speed will definitely be much slower."

"So Wei Chen always felt in his heart that the tanks and chariots that the officials had told Wei Chen before were really still going to be built."

"However, how to ensure extremely high shooting accuracy while tanks and combat vehicles are moving is really a difficult and difficult problem."

"Although now, our Song Dynasty's treasury is really full of silver."

"But we can't let those tanks and chariots drive to the battlefield and then attack them randomly."

"How lethal can this be?"

Zhao Ji nodded frequently:

"Shen Aiqing's words are very reasonable."

Zhao Ji lowered his head and frowned. After sighing frequently for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang."

"The reason why your officials from the Ministry of Industry have not come up with a good solution until now is because the number of people used to think of a solution is too small."

"What if we could gradually expand the audience base for finding solutions to infinity?"

"Then it's just a matter of time before this problem is solved."

Shen Kuo listened to Zhao Ji's mysterious words and pondered for a long time before tentatively asking:

"The officials, do they mean to find some master craftsmen from the private sector to work with our officials from the Ministry of Industry to find a solution?"

Zhao Ji nodded slightly:

“The scope of its expansion should not be limited to craftsmen alone.”

"If possible, it is also possible to expand the radiation surface to the entire Song Dynasty army."

"Those soldiers of the Song Dynasty were more eager to perform meritorious service than ordinary civilians."

“It is also more organized and disciplined.”

"It's okay if we throw this difficult problem to the guards in the capital first and let them think of a solution."

"You know, there are nearly a million Imperial Guards in the capital."

"If you use millions of people to think about a problem, no matter how big the problem is, it will be solved in an instant."

Shen Kuo nodded thoughtfully:

"What the officials say is true."

"Although those soldiers may not understand weapons manufacturing and other technologies."

"But the fantastic ideas are endless."

"I guess it should be okay."

"Okay, Wei Chen will take care of it now."

Zhao Ji looked at Shen Kuo's retreating figure and couldn't help but feel a sense of hope in his heart.
