When Ma Jun saw this, he could not help but be shocked. He quickly took it and examined it carefully.
However, after looking at it for a long time, Ma Jun suddenly frowned slightly. His expression was somewhat serious.
"This … is a weapon."
After saying this, Ma Jun helplessly shook his head.
"Sir, if it's armor and machinery, I'm quite good at it."
"But I've been studying armor and machinery for many years, and when it comes to weapons …"
After saying this, Ma Jun embarrassedly scratched his head.
This was a blind spot in his knowledge.
Bai Feng sighed softly.
It seemed that he had the same thoughts.
Every profession had its own specialization. This kind of thing was not something that could be created just because one wanted to.
If they had a military knife, the Cao Wei army would be invincible in hand-to-hand combat!
This thing bled quickly and did not heal easily. Once stabbed, it was basically a death sentence.
Moreover, this was the ancient era.
Even if Hua Tuo was nearby, he would not be able to save him.
However, this could not be helped. One could not have the best of both worlds. If Bai Feng wanted both, he would have to wait for some time.
At the very least, he would have to wait until he got Liu Bei before he could have any ideas about Pu Yuan.
Originally, Bai Feng did not have much confidence in poaching Pu Yuan from Liu Bei.
However, after seeing Ma Jun's reaction, Bai Feng was at least 60% confident.
The craftsmen of this era were very spirited. If he gave Pu Yuan the blueprint, he might be tempted.
…
A day passed quickly.
The steel furnace rang for an entire day. During this time, the guards continuously added raw materials according to Bai Feng's instructions.
Soon, the steel furnace slowly stopped operating.
Hundred wrought steel slowly came out of the furnace.
Ma Jun could not wait to rush over to check the results of the forging.
"Hundred wrought steel, it's Hundred wrought steel!"
"No, it's even better than the Hundred wrought steel I saw before!"
Ma Jun was ecstatic. As he saw more and more steel being transported out, his expression became more and more pleasantly surprised.
It looked like it was definitely more than a thousand catties!
No … it was still being transported out!
Soon, all the steel that had been forged in the furnace was taken out.
After some calculations, the guards finally came to a conclusion.
Ten thousand eight hundred jin!
Ten thousand catties a day!
"Milord, you didn't deceive me! You really can produce ten thousand catties a day! "
For a moment, Ma Jun felt like he was dreaming.
Furthermore, this dream was incomparably realistic.
Ten thousand catties a day, this kind of unimaginable thing actually happened!
If it was before, Ma Jun would have slapped anyone who bragged that they could produce a thousand catties of steel every day.
Not to mention ten thousand catties?
"Not bad. It seems that they can all be used."
Bai Feng looked at the steel briefly. There were no impurities and it was perfect.
Every step was strictly in accordance with Bai Feng's requirements. The steel produced not only had no impurities, but it was even better than what Bai Feng had expected.
This was not just Hundred wrought steel.
If the time was a little longer and the water was continuously poured into the furnace, it would be very difficult.
Thousand forged steel could easily be turned into thousands of forged steel!
Thousand forged steel was something that only existed in legends.
It was said that the raw material of Qingshi sword was similar to Thousand forged steel.
If Qingshi sword could be mass-produced, every Cao Wei soldier would have one.
Then, in close combat, no matter what kind of weapon they encountered, wouldn't they be able to easily deal with it?
Although that was the case, Bai Feng was no longer thinking about swords.
Right now, he had the raw materials for handguns and grenades!
As long as he had the steel, gunpowder would be easy to obtain. That way, he could make handguns and grenades!
Before Ma Jun could open his mouth, Bai Feng handed the blueprints for handguns and grenades to Ma Jun.
Among them, there was also a blueprint for the refinement of gunpowder.
In order to make firearms, gunpowder was a must.
Although gunpowder was one of the four great inventions of ancient times, it only appeared in the late Tang Dynasty.
At that time, gunpowder was invented by alchemists for alchemy.
It was only in the Ming Dynasty that gunpowder was officially used and the era of firearms began.
With gunpowder and steel, there were endless possibilities!
It wasn't just handguns and grenades.
Cannons, mortars, and so on could be made!
Furthermore, with the method of infusing steel, Cao Wei was able to touch the threshold of the industrial age.
However, in order to fully enter the industrial age, infusing steel alone was far from enough. There were many other industrial systems that complemented each other.
When Ma Jun saw the blueprints, his jaw almost dropped.
Although Bai Feng had mentioned this to him before, he was still shocked when he saw it.
This thing, does it really exist?
Ma Jun could hardly believe his eyes.
These two blueprints were more precise, but the products were unusually small.
And the similarity between the two blueprints was gunpowder.
"Gunpowder? What is that? "
Ma Jun rubbed his chin and muttered.
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"Black gunpowder. Simply put, you can understand it as something that can burn."
"After igniting, gunpowder will burn very regularly, producing a large amount of high-temperature heat. It can be used as a propellant for handguns and grenades."
"Under certain circumstances, it will explode."
"And grenades take advantage of this. When the shell is blown open, the small steel balls inside will scatter in all directions."
"These small steel balls are basically the same as the bullets fired from handguns."
Ma Jun nodded thoughtfully.
He could only understand half of what Bai Feng said at most.
But it was also because of this that Ma Jun felt that these things were even more magical, and he also had the desire to create them.
In order to confirm that the steel furnace was correct, Bai Feng continued to operate it over the next few days. Ma Jun observed to see if there were any problems.
Sure enough, in these few days, Ma Jun found a total of three small problems. Most of them were problems with the parts, but the impact was not big.
Although it was not obvious now, after a long time, the parts would start to age, and these things would easily loosen.
At that time, the steel furnace would be in danger.
After that, Ma Jun did not find any abnormalities.
The operation of the steel furnace was also very smooth.
After confirming, Bai Feng called over a few hundred people in the military camp, and together they pulled this huge monster to the place that Bai Feng had requested from Boss Cao.
This was a wasteland, at the edge of the northern city gate.
Bai Feng purposely divided this place to be used as a "military factory" in the future.
Ma Jun could not be the only craftsman in this military factory.
If this was the case, it would take forever to create a large number of handguns and grenades.
Therefore, Bai Feng called over the craftsmen that came to help Ma Jun, and wrote a letter to Cao Cao to allow them to be paid.
In addition, Bai Feng also found many famous craftsmen from various places.
