At this time.
What appeared in front of everyone was.
It was a stone room that occupied an area much larger than any of the stone rooms above.
Li Yuan secretly estimated that this place seemed to be as large as the entire forging workshop. It was hard for him to imagine that this forging workshop had only been established for a little more than a month.
It was actually able to create such an appearance.
Although it looked quite simple and crude, it already had everything that should be inside.
There were more than a dozen forging furnaces that were slightly smaller than the ones outside, as well as a long chimney that was chiseled through the walls of the cave leading to the outside, as well as a smelting furnace in the center of the stone room. At this time, a blazing fire was burning, and on the platform at the top, the craftsmen were paying taxes on the smelting furnace.
This was the reason why when everyone entered the room, they felt a trace of dampness amidst the heatwave that hit them in the face.
Around the smelting furnace, craftsmen had actually carved out some forging holes. Some craftsmen were bending over and carefully hammering these things that were only as thick as a thumb. There were even some craftsmen who had placed small furnaces on the platforms. At this time, they were squatting beside the furnaces, sweating profusely as they fiddled with something.
This was the first time that everyone had seen such a strange scene. At this time, they could not help but be amazed.
"I say, Alkinnon, what are these people doing?"
Cheng Yaojin could not help but ask.
Yuchi Gong had personally led an army to capture them. At this time, he was standing together with Cheng Yaojin. Obviously, these people were not fools. Cheng Yaojin had been stationed in Longyou Road for many years. Naturally, his fame had already spread to all parts of the Western Region.
At this time, when he heard Cheng Yaojin's words, Alkinnon instinctively felt a trace of fear. He quickly said, "This stone room is where the secrets of forging firearms are kept. There are more than 30 kinds of components in this room, and each of them is extremely precise. Some of them are even as thin as white paper, so it is quite troublesome to make them. Five of the people here are top locksmiths of the Tang Dynasty. These people have a clear division of labor, and each of them is doing their job. Look at this."
Alkinnon explained in detail.
Then, he picked up a trigger and a linkage buckle from the forging table and said, "Although this thing is small, it's the most difficult to make among these things. It's also the most important part, just like the trigger of a strong crossbow."
Arkinnon explained the details one by one.
The expressions of Li Yuan and the rest also changed incomparably. They were agitated, excited, and worried.
What they were worried about was why Zhang Feng chose these foreigners to participate in such a confidential matter. Why didn't he choose the natives of the Tang Dynasty?
If something were to happen, or if these people were to secretly send such a secret item to the Outer Realms, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Wouldn't that bring a lot of trouble to the Tang Dynasty?
At the thought of this.
Li Yuan's expression was no longer indifferent.
He took the opportunity to whisper in Yuchi Gong's ear, "Go quickly. Fengzi, get it for the Old Man!"
Yuchi Gong naturally knew what the old master was worried about at this time. If he didn't ask clearly about this matter, no one would be at ease. What was more, Yu Shinan, Wei Zheng, and the others were here.
This thing.
Once leaked out, it would be fatal to the Tang Dynasty.
Before he entered the cave, he had been thinking about the future.
Yuchi Gong had always thought that this cave was just so-so. It was just a forging room carved out to save time.
But only when he saw the thing here did Yuchi Gong completely overturn that idea in his heart.
If this thing was placed in the west, it would have been discovered long ago.
Before these things could be used on the battlefield, the news would have been leaked out.
At this time, he understood more why Zhang Feng first modified the Mitsubishi bayonets, the crossbows, and then the spears and so on.
These things turned out to be Zhang Feng's cover for this gun!
This thing was the key. As for the cannon, it was the same. Even if there were spies who could find out everything, they couldn't really find out any useful information, such as …
Things that could be forged in this underground forging room.
Especially this gun. Even if he could make it. He knew the general appearance and so on. But if he didn't have the parts drawings made by Zhang Feng, how could he make it?
This was also the magical part of Zhang Feng.
He almost divided these drawings into countless pieces. Each person had a drawing. In this way, almost everyone had a different secret part.
Even if there were illegal people who stole one of them, it was useless. The most important thing was that Zhang Feng was waiting for them to steal it.
This gun was not something else. As long as there was a problem with one part, it would be scrapped. If it was serious, it would directly explode. If someone else made this thing on the test bench with his permission, then Zhang Feng would be eager for him to make it quickly.
Zhang Feng might even give him dozens of carts of gunpowder.
Once he exploded the gun.
Hehe!
