Just as the two armies on the Zhenhai front were in full swing, Yang Feng's war machine was also running at full speed.

This machine started from Keelung coal mine thousands of miles away.

Under the bayonets and whip of Ming soldiers, the Qing army prisoners worked desperately, digging on the black treasure house with picks, hammers, and iron chisels. Truces of coal were dug out by them with blood and sweat and transported to the dock, poured into coke ovens to distillate them into more efficient coke, and then loaded the cokes onto the transport ships waiting in line and left the port.

When they finally floated across the ocean to reach Changguo Port, the latest four-wheeled carriages and ox carriages were waiting at the dock.

Immediately afterwards, the coolies in charge of loading and unloading rushed up, unloaded the coke from the ship and loaded it into the carriage, and then transported it along the road paved with three soil to an industrial area not far from the port, and finally sent it to the Ming Army weapons factory under the name of Dashuai, into the shell casting factory, and into a burning coke furnace.

In the factories of the largest factory on the island, hundreds of such coke furnaces are arranged in spectacularly and neatly, with the blazing fire burning. Even in winter, all the workers here are almost all shirtless. In front of these sweaty workers are graphite crucibles. The carbon steel ingots transported directly from the Marshal's Mansion are melting into fiery red steel water by the high temperature of the coke burning. When the masters observed the color of the molten steel with their naked eyes, they poured into alloy steel molds that were also made by Marshal themselves, and put them in the water and quickly cooled into shells and grenades.

Then these semi-finished products were sent directly to the assembly plant not far away, and the follow-up work was completed by workers sitting in front of the workbench in the assembly plant, including a large number of female workers.

At this time, female workers had already used a large number. After all, there was only a population of more than 200,000 under Yang Feng's rule. With more than 20,000 troops in maintaining more than 20,000 troops, women must join the work. Even after the marriage between Huang Wei and Dashuai was confirmed, even girls who voluntarily signed up for the army appeared. At this time, Dashuai Yang had been mythological. Even his fiancée was in the army. Are others more noble than Dashuai's wife?

Beside these workers were wooden barrels filled with gunpowder. In front of them were there scales and boxes of steel balls. The balances were used to weigh the standard weight of gunpowder. The same number of steel balls were counted and quickly loaded into hollow shells and grenades. Then, the shells were matched with wood pipe fuses that meet the specifications, and fuses and wooden handles were installed for the grenades, and tape with wax sealed three-sulfide four-phosphorus matches. Real shells and grenades were born in their hands.

These terrifying killing tools were then loaded into wooden boxes and sealed, and transported to military warehouses on the dock.

The gunpowder in these shells and grenades comes from another factory that also belongs to Yang Dashuai.

In this factory located in the mountains more than ten miles north of Changguo, the busy workers poured the earth and salty salt that Yang Dashuai brought to them, the sulfur purchased from Japan, and the charcoal produced locally, according to the latest ratio, into a pot of iron pot, and after a series of processes, they finally fryed it into a bucket of gunpowder. Then they processed the gunpowder according to different uses, turned into particles of different sizes and loaded into wooden barrels, sent to the assembly plant of shells and grenades, turned into shells, sent to the packaging plant of cannons, turned into silk medicine bags, and sent to the fuze manufacturing plant to turn into wood pipe fuzes.

It was also sent to the bullet manufacturing plant.

In the bullet manufacturing plant, almost all female workers sat in front of the workbench, guarding various raw materials such as buckets of granular gunpowder, boxes of lead-made projectiles, hand-rolled oil-immersed paper tubes and other raw materials. They carefully weighed the gunpowder with a balance, poured it into the paper tube and sealed it into paper shell bullets, and then loaded it into a wooden box and pasted it with seals and sent it to the dock.

There, along with other ammunition such as shells and grenades, they were loaded on a transport ship between Zhenhai and Changguo, and then sent it to the soldiers and shot it at the Qing army outside the city.

And this is just the manufacturing of ammunition.

There are more factories on this island that has become a war machine.

In the rifle manufacturing factory, the forging factory is forged with a water press, the foundry is cast with a mold, the wooden factory is made by a carpenter, and various parts are continuously summarized in front of the busy workers. Then they take out high-quality steel pipes that have been rifled in another time and space with modern machines, assemble these things together, and turn them into the most advanced front-mounted rifled flintlock rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rifled rif

And in the artillery foundry, almost the same process is repeated over and over again.

After further refining, the copper from Japan was finally turned into high-quality bronze together with the tin and other materials obtained by Yang Dashuai. The copper water melted in the crucible was poured into the alloy steel mold also obtained by Yang Dashuai. After cooling, it turned into a cannon barrel blank, and then sent to the hydraulic boring machine to complete the final transformation. Then it was sent to the assembly plant and assembled with other wooden or steel or copper, cast or forged components, and turned into a powerful cannon, becoming the most terrifying weapon on the battlefield.

In the armor manufacturing factory, a large number of female workers were busy, and different specifications of nickel steel plates from the Magistrate's Mansion were stamped with stamping machines in another time and space. They installed various linings suitable for the human body and various decoration badges, and finally turned into a silver breastplate that soldiers wore on their bodies to make the girls' eyes shine.

There are also military uniform manufacturing plants, vehicle manufacturing plants, and...

There are many more factories serving the war.

Even the old ladies who were idle at home were embroidering various signs for the soldiers' military uniforms in exchange for silver and copper coins with the avatar of the Grandmaster and the Sun and Moon Double Dragon Emblem. Yang Dashi is not short of this now. After all, he just got hundreds of tons of silver and has even begun to prepare to mint gold coins.

From coal mines to transport ships, from transport ships to ports, to loaders, transport vehicles, to factories, machines, and busy workers, are all gears, screws, and insignificant but essential small parts on this war machine. All these parts are combined and become the most efficient war machine in the world.

Standing at the end of the sea, spitting out thick smoke, opening blood-red mouths, swallowing endless life.

"It's just a short time to make a steel furnace."

Looking at the lively scene in the foundry, Yang Dashuai said with emotion.

He encountered some minor trouble with the steelmaking furnace, mainly because Lin Qian could not find a converter that meets his requirements.

This woman searched him for a while, and in the end, except for the only shells left in the museum, she didn't find any small converter that could blow air. Some of the people who blow oxygen were really gone. Although the Huaxia Federation over there is the largest steel producer in the world, it is also the most advanced steel producer. Even ordinary steel companies have replaced all oxygen furnaces many years ago.

So she simply created one for Yang Feng herself.

However, this takes some time and has not been completed until now. The converter she made for Yang Feng fully takes care of the current actual situation. It is just a small converter that can refine at most one ton of molten iron at a time, and there are many unnecessary fragments. According to Yang Feng's strength, he can drag it from there alone, and even many places that originally needed electric power can be completed by manual operation, but the blower still needs a machine.

"Master, this is what you call a war machine."

Shao Ting, beside him, also looked at the spectacular scene of the surging steel in the crucibles.

The Battle of Zhenhai did shock everyone. So far, together with the last battle, the total casualties of the Ming army has only exceeded 1,000. In fact, only 400 people died in battle and were seriously injured. However, the number of casualties of the Qing army has reached nearly 30,000, and the number of deaths is basically half. In other words, the lives of nearly 40 Qing soldiers can be replaced by a Ming army soldier. Moreover, this is mainly because most of the new recruits of the Ming army have not undergone rigorous training. If they are all veterans of the first and second battalions, in Feng Zhen's words, at least one hundred Qing army will die.

Such casualties ratio is quite terrifying even if the Ming army takes advantage of defending the city.

Although the entire Chang Kingdom was celebrating the invincibility of the Ming army soldiers, those who were clear-headed were very clear that the real root of the Ming army's strength was here. In these factories that were constantly going on, every machine here played no less than a cannon, and every worker here was equivalent to a soldier.

Without them, the Ming army would have been defeated long ago.

"Well, what's this? It's just a small seedling. At most, it's just a ground breaking. A real war machine has to sail thousands or tens of thousands of tons of warships without sails, steel chariots that don't need horses to drive on land, and even flying machines in the sky. At that time, the rifles in the hands of soldiers could load themselves, and the cannon could hit hundreds of miles away with one shot. At that time, the rockets would turn their own corners and hit the targets."

Yang Feng said heroically.

This ton was determined by him, equivalent to one thousand pounds, of course it was the pound at this time.

"You are talking about the war between the gods, aren't you?"

Shao Tingcai said leisurely.

"God? Yes, I will take you to be gods and use technology to turn people into gods!"

Yang Feng said.

"I guess I can't see it at my age."

Shao Tingcai said that he is in his early fifties this year.

"You live well, and it's almost done if you live to a hundred."

Yang Feng said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
