Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"This is... burning iron, right? Isn't that molten iron that's being poured out?"

The more you read.

The more people thought this place was weird and evil, the more they thought it was.

The leading 300 households were more composed. Although curious about the new album, they quickly regained their composure and reminded everyone, "Silence! Don't you want the brain anymore?"

He did not forget that the current emperor was still here, waiting to see them.

The imperial power cannot be violated - everyone thought of this again, suppressed their confusion and surprise, withdrew their gazes and fell silent, but their hearts were still restless.

After confirming that the team was in good order, a captain smiled awkwardly and said to the craftsman who was leading the way, "Most of them are transferred from the garrisons of various places. They are usually rough and tumble men who have been fighting and quarreling. They have a bit of a ruffian temperament. Please forgive me for the embarrassment."

The craftsman who led the way didn't mind. He was a local here and knew that this place was such a secret and confidential place that even a dog would stare with tears in surprise if it came in, let alone a human.

Furthermore, this group of people must be of great use to His Majesty since they were summoned here - His Majesty's brilliant ideas are often things that others cannot even imagine.

No matter what status or position one had in the past, those who can step in here may not be sure of what they will be like in the future.

Naturally, he would not neglect it: "You are too kind. Since I have entered the Alchemy Department, I will see these things sooner or later. It's not a big deal."

After saying this, he extended his hand forward again, guiding them calmly and steadily, "This Alchemy Department was renovated by His Majesty from the royal estate. It's quite large, and we need to go inside."

Everyone thought to themselves, "The people here are pretty nice."

At the same time, he tried his best to remain calm and silent, following the guide as he walked through this scorching area. The temperature around him gradually dropped and returned to normal. The sudden drop in temperature made it difficult for people to adapt.

And when they continued to walk forward for a distance.

Before I could see what was going on ahead, I could hear the sound of metal knocking and the friction sound that comes from grinding metal.

As the sound gets closer, it becomes clearer and louder.

Everyone also understood what was going on in front: a large group of craftsmen were polishing various weapons. In their hands were sword blanks, knife blanks, spear head blanks... etc. that had been basically shaped, and they were now carrying out the final step of grinding and polishing.

After achieving stable steel production.

Zhu Yunhuan's original plan was to concentrate on making guns and cannons, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind.

First, advanced steelmaking technology has now been developed.

Second, the number of steelmaking furnaces is now increasing.

Third, the raw materials for alchemy are also stored in the alchemy department.

This means that steel production capacity was rapidly increased through the cooperation between the Alchemy Bureau and the Ministry of Industry.

In this way, the steel needed for making guns and cannons in the future can be smelted at any time.

The steel produced now is just sitting there for nothing. It would be better to take advantage of this time and free time to use the spare steel production capacity to create a batch of upgraded cold weapons.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang saw the role and potential of thermal weapons.

However, due to various defects, the standard firearm configuration of each garrison was only ten muskets per hundred households. Even with this standard, many local garrisons did not meet the standard due to their poor firearm production capacity.

After all, this era was dominated by cold weapons. The Ming Dynasty had millions of soldiers, and more than 90% of them were not familiar with hot weapons. When fighting, cold weapons were the only way to deal with it.

So after the New Year.

Zhu Yunhuan adopted Qin Kui's suggestion and looked for experienced craftsmen, blacksmiths, etc., and sent them to the Alchemy Department to make some appetizers first.
