"Hongsheng, how's the forging of the new batch of armor coming along?"
After leaving the research base of the "Trump Card Project", Li Zexuan came to the steel mill. At this time, Zhang Hongsheng was instructing the craftsmen to move things. Li Zexuan went up to him and asked when Zhang Hongsheng was free.
"Marquis, you're here?"
Zhang Hongsheng heard the voice and quickly turned around. He first wiped the sweat on his forehead, then replied with a smile, "Marquis, you've come at the right time today. The 5,000 sets of plate armor, vanadium steel horse lance, and vanadium steel horse armor that you ordered have all been completed today. Now, the craftsmen are bringing the workers from the riverside workshop to transport the armor here! Tomorrow, Marquis should be able to bring people to transport this batch of armor to the barracks tomorrow! "
"They've all been completed?"
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows and showed a little shock on his face. In just over a month, the workshop had completed 5,000 sets of plate armor, horse lance, and horse armor. This speed was completely miraculous!
Of course, the reason for such a fast speed was mainly because the workshop had invested a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to produce this batch of armor!
First of all, in order to produce the armor for so many years, the workshop had invested close to three thousand craftsmen, not including the civilian workers. Secondly, Ke Shiqing was in charge of the Sichuan region, supplying the workshop with a steady stream of Vanadium ores, providing a solid material foundation for the production of armor. Lastly, and most importantly, in order to produce new equipment, the workshop had specially developed hydraulic stamping machines, using machines to replace manpower. Naturally, this would greatly increase the production speed of armor and equipment!
"Yes! Marquis! If you don't believe me, you can come here tomorrow to count the number! "
Zhang Hongsheng's face was solemn as he clasped his fist and said.
Li Zexuan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no! It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just a little surprised! To be able to complete such a difficult task in such a short period of time, it shows that not only are your skills superb, but your leadership skills are also outstanding! "
Hearing this, Zhang Hongsheng let out a sigh of relief. He scratched his head and laughed. "Marquis, you flatter me. To be able to forge 5,000 sets of armor in such a short time, I wouldn't have even dared to think about it in the past. The reason we were able to complete it was mainly due to the large number of craftsmen in our workshop. Also, Marquis, the hydraulic press machine that you previously built played a crucial role! All of this is the result of everyone's hard work day and night. It has nothing to do with me! "
Li Zexuan patted Zhang Hongsheng's shoulder and said with a smile, "Hongsheng, you're too modest! To be able to make these thousands of craftsmen work together as one is enough to show your ability ~! Hehe! With these new armors, the strength of the Imperial Court will definitely be stronger than before! "
Hearing this, Zhang Hongsheng's eyes widened and he said in surprise, "Marquis, is there going to be a war in the Imperial Court soon ~?"
This fellow was usually immersed in forging and naturally did not hear about the recent tense situation between the Tang Empire and the Turks. In addition, ordinary people did not know the exact time of the war between the Tang Empire and the Turks. Only the civil and military officials knew the approximate time!
Li Zexuan's face turned serious and he nodded. "Yes! Yes! This war concerns the fate of the Tang Empire! "
