Qingcang arrived in the main city first, and no one came back to report until night.
"Reporting to the commander, we have captured a total of 300,000 muskets from the enemy and 150,000 people surrendered.
After screening, 110,000 are qualified.
These people have been incorporated into our Chinese Army Reserve Army, and there are 40,000 more.
People ask for instructions and make decisions.”
Qingcang was a little surprised to get 300,000 muskets.
This was far more than he expected, because there were a large number of people behind them who abandoned their armor and didn't even want muskets.
This is a very normal phenomenon.
Qingcang said: "The 110,000 people are well arranged, and the remaining 40,000 people should be sent to the southern Xiongnu to mine."
Now the Southern Xiongnu is developing, as he expected, it is divided into five parts, each part is managed by a Chanyu, and a large number of people are sent there to monitor the five Chanyus, or in other words As a supervisor.
As for the construction of a railway to the Yellow River, it was completed a year ago.
A large amount of coal is transported to Huaxia City by railway, especially during this period, it can reach its peak.
At the same time, there were very few people mining, so he wanted to send all 40,000 people to the southern Huns to dig coal mines and create their own value there.
The guards received the order and immediately went down to make arrangements.
After the guards retreated, Qingcang clicked on the mission system.
Completed tasks are displayed particularly eye-catchingly.
He clicked through one by one.
Complete the task directly, and also gain a lot of health points.
He calculated.
In this battle, he probably gained a thousand days worth of health.
After doing the math, after deducting the cost of buying the rapid-fire cannon and the shells, he still had a slight surplus.
In this way, it is also a business that does not lose money.
It can be considered a break-even.
He turned off the system.
At this time, the number of health points was no longer what he was concerned about.
What he was concerned about was more far-reaching.
At the moment, he had more important tasks to complete.
After every war, there will be a large loss of population, which is inevitable in war.
Only by being the strongest can you minimize the number of deaths.
It takes time to heal the pain, and the wound can slowly heal.
Qingcang asked the intelligence personnel to pay close attention to the movements of the black dragon.
The strange thing is that after more than a month, Heilong still hasn't made much movement, maybe after Chen Shou told Heilong what he saw.
They probably also knew that they needed to develop weapons to truly kill Qing Cang.
So I just lay down my life and wait for an opportunity.
In this case, Qing Cangjiang will not sit still and wait for death.
The armored vehicles and bullets he ordered to build have come to an end.
On this day, he summoned Bai Ye and Wang Zongwei to report to the main city.
Among them are Guo Jia and Xun Yu.
Bai Ye saw Qing Cang said.
"Reporting to the commander, the prototype of the armored vehicle has been completely built.
I would like to ask you to take a look."
This is undoubtedly the biggest piece of good news in recent months.
Qingcang said.
"Okay, let's go see where your armored vehicle is."
"It's parked next to my main city."

Qing Cang nodded and led a group of people to follow Bai Yun to the edge of the main city.
When he arrived at the edge of the main city, he saw a car larger than two buses parked in front of him.
This car is nearly four meters high, about seven or eight meters wide, and about ten meters long.
Six wheels, each wheel is nearly 1.8 meters tall.
For them, it can be said to be a giant existence.
Especially the steam engine at the back can be described as huge.
There are also some weapons equipped on armored vehicles.
These are weapons.
They are all cold weapons and there are no hot weapons.
When Qingcang saw this armored vehicle, he was very satisfied and asked, "Bai Ye, tell me what's different about this armored vehicle?"
Bai Ye nodded in agreement.
"Commander, please look at the number of people this armored vehicle can carry.
It's about 50 people.
I use all-steel tires for the tires.
There should be no tires.
We can't invent tires yet.
To be precise, they should be called wheels.
This The advantage of planting wheels is that they will not get punctured, but the disadvantage is also quite big.
It will increase the weight of the entire armored vehicle, so the requirements for the steam engine will become higher.
This will cause our armored vehicles to get longer and larger.
If this size is not reached, it will not start at all."
Qing Cang nodded.
Without rubber, there is no way to solve it.
Maybe it will be better when tires are invented in the future.
"Well, you did a good job, then please continue the introduction."
Bai Ye nodded in agreement. he replied.
"The wheels and the sides of the carriage are equipped with a large number of cold weapons.
The effect of these cold weapons is very huge.
Let me give you an example.
The last time we were attacked by Chen Shou's 800,000 troops.
If we had had such an armored vehicle at that time.
Then our time to resolve the battle will be shortened a lot.
Because such an armored vehicle can directly disrupt the enemy's formation.
You can also massacre enemies in large numbers
.
"
Qingcang can think of it.
When such a huge armored vehicle enters the enemy crowd, it will be a terrifying thing.
If the speed is faster, there will be no time to react.
In other words, when the enemy army gathers in one place, the people in the middle will have no time to run and cannot run.
When the armored vehicle rushes in front of them, I'm afraid they have no choice but to die.
No wonder Bai Ye said this, if he had it.
Then the duration of the entire war will be shortened a lot.
Bai Ye continued: "If ten, twenty, or more armored vehicles join, even if the enemy has an army of 1 million, then they will not be able to capture my Huaxia City.
If we have a hundred armored vehicles.

Then You can be domineering in this world."
Qingcang nodded and said: "You have done a good job, that is to introduce to me where you want to equip the thermal weapons."
Now that we have cold weapons, where should we put the hot weapons?
"Commander, please come this way."
Bai Ye walked to the armored vehicle.
After pulling down the door, a staircase appeared.
He got on the armored vehicle first, and Qingcang followed him.
This city rush vehicle is on the side, and there are some stairs for going up and down.
When Qing Cang climbed onto the armored vehicle, he saw a unique scenery.
There were a large number of small artillery pieces on it.
Arranged in a circle, they surrounded the armored vehicle.
At a rough count, there are about 20 of them, which is a lot of firepower.
Bai Ye said: "Currently, we are only equipped with these small artillery pieces.
After Minister Wang has invented the bullets, we have considered that the heavy machine guns and other weapons can be removed at any time."
The concept of heavy machine guns was proposed by Qing Cang.
It is also one of their research directions.
At the same time, Bai Ye read a lot of books on weapons and equipment.
So he also knows that when bullets are produced in large quantities.
I want to use the power of one person to resist thousands of armies.
Except for the heavy machine gun, which is perfectly capable, other weapons are still inferior.
Because of it he hits farther and with greater power.
Once the heavy machine gun is equipped in the future, it will be a terrifying existence.
At this time, Qingcang's army had begun to take shape.
Qingcang became more and more satisfied as he watched.
Said again.
"You did a good job, so next.
I have a suggestion.
Remove the wheels and replace it with tracks."
The use of crawler tracks is like laying an infinitely extended track for the armor, allowing it to pass through various complex road conditions smoothly, quickly and safely.
The large ground contact area increases the armor's ability to pass on soft and muddy roads. , reducing the amount of subsidence.
Since the track pads have patterns and can be equipped with spikes, they can firmly grip the ground on rain, snow, ice or uphill roads without slipping.
For example, iron wheels are not very useful.
If the weather is good, it is fine.
However, if the weather is poor and the road surface is extremely poor, it will be fatal.
Even if you have an armored vehicle, if it cannot be used, it is better than not having it.
"I understand, Commander.
Although there will be some engineering difficulties, I am sure that we will overcome the difficulties, just like we built an armored vehicle from scratch."
"I also believe you can do it.
Before changing to tracked driving, you can build ten armored vehicles according to this version."
"Commander, this is" Bai Ye didn't understand very well.
Qing Cang said.
"I'm afraid that the Black Dragon side will make another move.
If we don't have armored vehicles to deal with them by then, it will be really difficult to fight now.
Ten vehicles is also the minimum number, but if possible, before the track modification, I hope it will be 50 vehicles."
"Commander, I understand."

"Great.
Let's do it now."
"yes."
Guo Jia.
Saw this armored vehicle.
A sigh was made.
"In the past, when we fought wars, we used soldiers to stack up.
Now when we fight, we rely solely on weapons and can win with only a small number of soldiers.
This kind of leap makes me very happy."
Xun Yu said.
"With the Commander here, the impossible becomes possible."
They have great confidence in Qing Cang.
This can be seen from Qingcang's performance.
Qingcang never let them down from the beginning.
Now if Zhao Zilong, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei are also present.
Then their expressions are probably the same.
Qing Cang also thought of the three of them and said to Bai Ye.
"After you emerge from the armored vehicle.
I hope to train a thousand people who can operate and skillfully operate this kind of armored vehicle."
"Commander, don't worry, I have already arranged this.
Let the engineers teach the soldiers how to operate this armored vehicle."
Qingcang was very relieved to leave this matter to Bai Ye and he would do it well.
I hope I can give them a shock before the black dragon arrives.
At the same time, he did not believe that the Black Dragon would remain so quiet for so many days.
They must be making some unknown weapons, and he must get ahead of them and make more advanced weapons, or equipment that can crush them. , such as armored vehicles.
Since Chen Shou's attack, he has improved his technology by at least ten times.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to build an armored vehicle in just one month?
The armored vehicle has come to an end.
He turned his head to Wang Zongwei. said.
"Minister Wang, how is your bullet going?"
"Reply to the commander.
After Xu Dejiang and I cooperated, we melted all the copper coins into warheads and used a steam engine to cast them.
With gunpowder and other materials, we finally found the first batch of bullets.
Commander, please see this is the first batch of bullets.
A batch of bullets and corresponding firearms.”
Wang Zongwei said with the bullets and gun in his hand.
This bullet is very different from a musket.
Qingcang said.
"Just show it to me."
Wang Zongwei nodded in agreement.
He put the bullet into the chamber of the gun, and with a click, the bullet entered the chamber.
When he pulled the trigger, there was a bang and the bullet flew out.
There was a wooden pile not far away, and a big hole was blown out of that wooden pile in an instant.
At this time, the two staff officers felt very strange.
It turns out that bullets can have such great power.

Qingcang was very satisfied after seeing it and said: "Very good.
The power of your bullet has already met my expectations, but you still need to continue to study it.
And take pictures of bullets of different calibers and their corresponding guns.
Like some short-bore guns, long-bore guns You have to make rifles, heavy machine guns, etc.”
Now that the industry has begun to mature, they can create more sophisticated components.
Bullet caliber.
Directly affects its range.
The larger the caliber, the greater the gunpowder load.
The more gunpowder there is, the greater the power.
Just like what Bai Ye said about the heavy machine gun mentioned earlier, the bullets required by the heavy machine gunner are larger than ordinary bullets, and are also larger than bullets such as AK47, 98k, etc.
Wang Zongwei nodded in agreement.
Qingcang continued.
"In addition to different calibers, you also need to conduct a lot of tests on their sealing and stability.
And set up an assembly line.
I want you to produce the guns in your hands.
You don't need too many in the early stage, just 10,000.
Wait for these 10,000 After a gun has passed the test of time, we will improve it to produce more powerful ones.”
The shooting speed of bullets is faster than that of a musket simply loaded with ammunition, and the same is true for its loading speed.
It does not load gunpowder.
The energy ejected can only be stimulated by impacting the ignition device at the tail of the bullet.
Now, there is a steam engine.
The entire industrial age of Huaxia City.
It has been fully opened.
This is an era that belongs to Huaxia City.
Steam engines replaced manpower and improved efficiency.
In the form of an assembly line, we can complete tasks that are difficult for people to complete.
Just like a small bullet, if the entire assembly line is established, from raw materials to bullet head.
It's nothing more than a process issue.
And every bullet will shoot exactly the same.
After making these arrangements, Qingcang said to the two of them: "You go down and make arrangements first, and make sure to do it quickly.
I have received some bad news recently, and it seems that the Black Dragon is about to take action at this time."
Wang Zongwei and Bai Ye went down to make arrangements.
As for the two major staff officers, they stayed with Qing Cang.
They also report some things.
The tranquility at this time is the tranquility before the storm.
No one dares to slack off at all.
Zhao Zilong and others are not included here because they are busy training troops.
I believe that before long, Black Dragon will definitely send people over to attack Huaxia City again, and he will make preparations in advance.
When the time comes, who is stronger and who is weaker will be known in one try
