Shangwen inspected the situation in the arsenal in accordance with the original practice. And Meng Yi also began to become proficient in the work of the arsenal. Because Xianyang City has Shangwen's office. The envoy of Qi State began to urge Meng Yi to request delivery as soon as possible. Meng Yi refused on the grounds that the contract did not specify the delivery time, but he could urge the production workshop.

While urging production, the envoy of Qi State asked to increase the power of the artillery, with a special caliber. The arsenal of the State of Qi is required to produce artillery with a five-inch caliber. The five-inch of the State of Qi is larger than that of the State of Qin, and the State of Qin can also manufacture it, but in this way, the artillery of the State of Qi is more powerful than that of the State of Qin. It was even more powerful, and Qin said that he didn't want to see it.

Meng Yi told Shangwen about this, and Shangwen was shocked after hearing this. Qi State even asked for the manufacture of large-caliber artillery.

"Now order the artillery workshop to stop casting two-inch artillery. All changed to four-inch artillery. The shells will also be changed. By the way, I asked the barrel workshop, how about their rifling production technology?" Shang Wen immediately made adjustments.

"Here." Meng Yi said.

"Also, the gun factory on the princess's side has also begun to make muskets. The first batch of muskets will be handed over to Qi Guo." Meng Yi said.

"Leave it to Zhao Guo. How many?" Shang Wen asked.

"Not many, three hundred." Meng Yi said.

"Well, it's okay. Have they studied the gun manufacturing technology?" Shang Wen asked.

"This, it seems not. Her Royal Highness said that the gun factory is already very short of wages. The only money in the factory is the deposit to start work barely." Meng Yi said.

"Oh. Got it." Shang Wenen said. The funding issue is still a big issue.

"How about printing," Shang Wen asked.

"There is good news in printing. They have issued a kind of ink that can be printed and will not spread. They have already applied for a patent. This is it." Meng Yi took out a patent form.

"Oh, let me see." Shang Wen took the form and looked.

It turned out that they added some calcium carbonate and some starch to the traditional ink. Of course, the craftsmen didn't know that it was starch, they only stated in the table that it came from wheat flour. Shangwen speculates that it is likely to be starch. mineral oil. These are basically simple fillers, thinners, and anti-offset agents.

"So can it be printed on a large scale?" Shang Wen asked.

"This, it seems impossible. They said that they can only print a few sheets, but after a few sheets, they won't work. They scraped off the ink on the printing press. Because they formed a glue-like thing." Meng Yi replied .

"Oh." Shang Wen looked at the specification on the patent list carefully.

These few fillers can basically satisfy the ink, so why can't they be printed on a large scale. Shang Wen looked at it repeatedly.

"There are too few fillers. There is still a lack of some anti-skinning agents or antioxidants. Now only citric acid can be used. These things exist in citrus. We need to use a lot of citrus to extract citric acid. I look back on this thing. Teach them again." Shang Wen said.

"Antioxidant, citric acid?" Meng Yi asked suspiciously.

"These are anti-skinning agents, mainly to inhibit the drying speed of the ink and prevent the ink from drying and conjunctivating mechanically. It is estimated that they have encountered such a situation. In addition, there are many additives, as long as they sneak research can find out. For example, increase Slippery agent is high melting point paraffin. This is a big subject. Let them find Bai Ai to study it." Shang Wen said.

"Here." Meng Yi said.

"By the way, they seem to mention wheat flour in the material. Do you have wheat?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yes. There are not many varieties, and it is not delicious, only mashed and boiled the soup to add a little bit. The food is a bit bitter, not delicious, and the skin is solid." Meng Yi said.

Shang Wen smiled helplessly after hearing this.

"What is Mr. laugh?" Meng Yi asked.

"Nothing. The food that wheat flour can make is far beyond that he can eat it directly with the shell. You go find some wheat, and I will tell you how to make this thing." Shang Wen said.

"Here." Meng Yi was about to go.

"Wait. How is the aircraft made?" Shang Wen asked.

"Let me see." Meng Yi took his notebook and turned it over.

"Very bad. Lack of boards." Meng Yi said.

"What?" Shang Wen said with some surprise. How could the board lack that. I provided a lot of wood to the carpenters. How could such a problem occur.

"The situation is that they have to take a plane to plan." Meng Yi said.

"How is it possible, did they not innovate?" Shang Wen asked immediately.

"I don't know." Meng Yi said.

"We have to go and see." Shang Wen didn't know what was wrong with the carpenters, and he couldn't provide wood board materials on a large scale. What does it mean. Shangwen is very confused about this question.

"Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin." A thick male voice came. Shang Wen looked back to see who called himself. Shang Wen is in anger. It is really inappropriate to delay the aircraft greatly because of the wood problem, because at this time, the pilot's skydiving training is basically nearing the end. After the skydiving, he will start flying on the ground. There will be no aircraft to fly. What the **** is it called the Air Force? You can change it to the Army.

"General Wang." Meng Yi immediately recognized that Shang Wen was Wang Ben who had returned from the Kingdom of Yan.

Shang Wen's eyes had already appeared nearsighted, and he couldn't see who was far away at all.

"Who?" Wang Ben asked suspiciously.

"Wang Ben, General Wang." Meng Yi said.

"Wang Ben." Shang Wen said suddenly.

Meng Yi looked at the distance, but Shang Wen couldn't see clearly. Said with some worry.

"My lord, your eyes." Meng Yi said.

"Eyes." Shang Wen said suspiciously.

"Yes, you can't see clearly in your eyes." Meng Yi said with some worry.

"Oh. It's probably myopia. These days, I have used my eyes too much." Shang Wen said.

"This..." What else Meng Yi wanted to say. Was interrupted by Shang Wen.

"With a pair of eyes, it's fine. It's just that it affects the flight," Shang Wen said. I am still the person in charge of the Celestial Army. If I can't take the lead in flying, I really don't know how those pilots teach.

"Oh." Meng Yi nodded worriedly.

"I'll see Master Qin at the end." Wang Ben had already walked up to him while he was speaking, and he bowed and saluted with some distance from Shang Wen.

"Okay. They are not outsiders. Don't pretend." Shang Wen said.

"In the future, don't salute like this when you meet." Shang Wen said.

"Hehe." Wang Ben said embarrassedly.
