Chapter 62 All-out War(1/3)

Hearing that Ning Chen had another way to make money, Wu Ang suddenly became interested.

"Brother Ning, what do you want to take care of me?" Wu Ang asked Ning Chen with a flattering look on his face.

Ning Chen did not answer Wu Ang's question first, but asked Wu Ang a question first: "In terms of manufacturing ability alone, which one is stronger, the craftsmen under you or the craftsmen under the Wu family?"

Although Wu Ang didn't know why Ning Chen asked this, he just answered truthfully.

"Which aspect do you want to look at? If you are talking about building a house or making some household and agricultural appliances.

I definitely can't compare with the Wu family.

But if it comes to other aspects, the craftsmen under me may not be worse than those from the Wu family.

Even though you gave the Holy Way of Manufacturing to the Wu family, the craftsmen under me are not vegetarians either."

There is indeed no element of bragging about Wu Ang.

Just look at the factory under Wu Ang, which produces tents and air mattresses on a large scale.

This is evident from the manufacturing capabilities of Wu Ang’s men.

"If we only look at weapons manufacturing capabilities, which one of your two families is stronger?" Ning Chen asked a separate question.

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Ang raised his eyebrows and asked: "Brother Ning, you plan to make weapons and sell them to the court. What kind of weapons do you plan to make? If they are ordinary weapons, the profit is too low..."

Ning Chen interrupted Wu Ang and said, "You answer my question first?"

Wu Ang said: "The Wu family is not proficient in making weapons, after all, this kind of thing is quite taboo.

There is really no need for the Wu family to put more effort into this.

The craftsmen under me are relatively proficient.

But really speaking, the best one for making weapons is the Inner Court Manufacturing Department in the Imperial City."

This is pretty much what Ning Chen thought.

Originally, Ning Chen planned to involve Wu Zhizao in this matter.

But then Ning Chen thought about it and felt that if Wu Zhizao was brought in, not only would he not be able to help, but he might also harm Wu Zhizao's family.

Weapons have been very taboo since ancient times.

You have to say that it would be okay to buy a kitchen knife and ordinary iron tools for ordinary people.

But if you want to make weapons, you must obtain official approval.

Without approval, you will lose your head.

Although the Wu family is indeed very powerful in terms of manufacturing.

But the Wu family certainly does not have such a background to commit such a taboo.

So Ning Chen initially thought about bringing Wu Ang in, and that was what he meant.

This is the territory of the Wu family, and Wu Ang will not have too many taboos when doing this.

What's more, if these weapons are sold to the imperial court after being manufactured, there will be no taboo at all.

"Brother Ning, please stop being pretentious. Tell me what kind of weapon you plan to use first. I'll help you analyze it and see if it's profitable." Wu Ang saw that Ning Chen was still thinking there alone, so he tolerated it.

He kept asking urgingly.

"I plan to make a cannon." Ning Chen said.

"cannon?"

"What is a cannon?"

Wu Ang and Yun Xuanzi were both very confused about this thing.

Because this weapon was a name they had never heard of before.

"Brother Ning, what is this cannon?" Wu Ang thought hard to no avail, so he might as well ask Ning Chen directly.

Anyway, Ning Chen definitely knows the answer.

Ning Chen took out paper and pen and prepared to draw a cannon on the paper.

But when Ning Chen was about to write, his wrist suddenly froze.

But then Ning Chen got to his heart and directly used Haoran's righteousness as a stimulus to simply draw the shape of a cannon on the paper.

Of course, what Ning Chen painted was not the later modern cannons or howitzers.

Ning Chen can't draw these either.

What Ning Chen painted was the simplest cannon from ancient times.

The structure of this kind of cannon is very simple, just the base and the barrel, and not much else.

The inside of the gun barrel is nothing more than adding spiral rifling, which is not difficult.

On the contrary, the electronic artillery of later generations was much more difficult.

Don't say Ning Chen can't draw, it's just Ning Chen who can draw it.

Wu Ang and the others couldn't do it at all.

This kind of ancient cannon was completely sufficient in the Wu Dynasty.

After Ning Chen's cannon was painted, the holy light suddenly came out,

Thousands of holy lights emerged from the paper.

Wu Ang and Yun Xuanzi looked at the scene in front of them.

Everyone was shocked.

"Did you draw something that was recognized by the Holy Dao?" Both of them were extremely interested in what Ning Chen had drawn.

Ning Chen didn't expect to draw this cannon.

It even caused obstacles from the holy way.

Fortunately, he had the art of war, so Ning Chen directly used the art of war to write forcefully.

And with the appearance of this cannon, Ning Chen clearly felt that his military skills had been broadened a lot.

At the same time, one cannon after another appeared on Ning Chen's path.

Ning Chen felt that as long as his Baijiadao could reach the second level, he would be able to mobilize these cannons.

When Ning Chen was comprehending the art of war.

Wu Ang and Yun Xuanzi had already taken advantage of the light to dissipate and pounced on them immediately.

I want to see for the first time what magical things Ning Chen has drawn.

Just looking at the things on the paper, Wu Angyun Xuanzi was confused.

The two people stared at each other, completely unaware of the power of this thing.

I don't even know how to use this thing.

"Brother Ning, if I make this thing according to your drawing, can it be used?" Wu Ang asked Ning Chen.

Ning Chen shook his head and said: "Of course not, this is just a launch platform.

Next, gunpowder needs to be added, and the cooperation of Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi is also needed.

Make some powerful cannonballs."

"What is gunpowder?" Wu Ang continued to ask in confusion.

Ning Chen explained: “The inspiration for gunpowder can be regarded as the inspiration given to me by the Yin Yang family among my hundreds of families.

Because those alchemists in Baijiadao would occasionally explode the furnace when refining elixirs.

I've researched the issue of their furnaces blowing up.

It is because there is a problem with the ratio of the elixir materials, so the furnace will explode.

Then I thought that if the proportion of these frying furnace materials were used in war, it would be very effective.

However, if it is just a simple blasting furnace, it is not easy to control and the cost is very high.

In addition, the power is actually very limited.

So after some intensive research, I invented gunpowder."

Well, the above stories are completely made up by Ning Chen himself.

Anyway, things like alchemists blowing up furnaces often happened in the Wu Dynasty.

Ning Chen just copied it mechanically and used it on himself, and there was nothing wrong with it at all.

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Ang's eyes sparkled.

"Brother Ning, you are really a genius. Why haven't I thought of such a good idea?"

"Brother Ning, if this thing can really be used in war, it will definitely become a big killer weapon that changes the direction of war!"

"Brother Ning, based on this, you are not only a great contributor to our Wu Dynasty, but also a great contributor to our entire human race!"
