"it is good!"
Chapter 324 Materials
After Zhou Hao nodded happily, he seemed to think of something, and asked, "General Zhang, what kind of weapons did you usually make when you were a blacksmith?"
Although Zhang Meng worked as a blacksmith before, the blacksmith who makes pots and pans is completely different from the blacksmith who makes weapons.
If it is a blacksmith who has never made weapons, it is estimated that it will be difficult to make this batch of weapons.
Moreover, these weapons designed by Zhou Hao are all combined with modern elements, so they are not pure weapons of this era, so thinking of this, Zhou Hao can't help but have some concerns.
Zhang Meng is indeed a good fighter, loyal and courageous, and his subordinates have given him a lot of help, but building weapons is different from leading troops to fight.
Zhou Hao wasn't worried about Zhang Meng's bad build and wasting materials, he was mainly worried about time.
For this Noah's Ark warship, he didn't prepare well before, so he drove directly to the top of Yuan Shu's base camp with great interest and fought against it.
Although his god-killing soldiers were brave and good at fighting one by one, there were no casualties, but they did cause some damage to Yuan Shu's army.
But these were far from Zhou Hao's expectations. He felt that the value of his Noah's Ark warship was far more than that, because he was careless and did not bring it into full play.
So Zhou Hao felt a lot of hard work for this, so he couldn't wait to improve the weapon. Designing the blueprint was only the first step, the most important thing was to manufacture the weapon.
And when his Noah's Ark warship can test its power depends on the time when the weapon is successfully manufactured, so he must determine how Zhang Meng's manufacturing ability is.
Zhang Meng is straightforward, and he didn't have so many twists and turns, and he didn't think too much about it.
After hearing Zhou Hao's question, Zhang Meng replied truthfully: "Reporting to my lord, the last general was mainly forging long spears before, and he also provided weapons for the Han Dynasty at that time."
As soon as Zhang Meng's words came out, Zhou Hao was overjoyed.
He originally thought that Zhang Meng should be a blacksmith who made pots and pans for others for his family's livelihood, but he didn't expect that he had actually made weapons.
Although the power of the Han Dynasty gradually weakened, and Cao Cao even coerced the emperor to order the princes, the Han Dynasty was still quite strong at the beginning.
Let's not talk about the strength of the army, but at least in terms of weapons, the Han Dynasty is still very willing.
Those who can be favored by the Han Dynasty and who can make weapons for the army must be of a very good level.
Thinking of this, the light in Zhou Hao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that he had picked up a treasure.
Back then Zhou Hao spent so much effort to subdue Zhang Meng, but now that he thinks about it, it was really worth it.
"Okay, very good. I didn't expect General Zhang to hide his talents in this area!"
Zhou Hao looked at Zhang Meng with a smile on his face and praised.
Zhang Meng was modest, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "My lord, it's just that the general learned some crafting skills by chance. The general's family was originally a blacksmith, and the general's father used to make weapons for the Han army. , the final general is only influenced by his father."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Hao instantly understood, it turned out to be like this!
That's right, no matter how Zhang Meng looks like this, he doesn't come from a peasant background.
It should be because of the flames of war that Zhang Meng has become a loner now!
But now is not the time for Zhou Hao to be sentimental here.
Zhou Hao patted Zhang Meng on the shoulder and said: "It's really good, General Zhang, look, this is the design drawing of the widow, and it was built according to the above style, and the widow marked everything in detail."
Zhang Meng hastily took the blueprint from Zhou Hao's hand.
To be honest, he didn't know how long he hadn't crafted a weapon, and he still felt a little uneasy.
After Zhang Meng took the drawing, he looked at it seriously, while Zhou Hao looked at Zhang Meng happily with great expectations.
About half a minute later, Zhang Meng's face was full of surprise: "My lord, the design of this weapon is really exquisite!"
Zhou Hao couldn't help raising his head with a sense of accomplishment upon hearing the sound.
He was a man of modern thought who had seen and heard much more than these ancient men.
What's more, modern technology and weapons are all very advanced.
In modern times, Zhou Hao had some salty fish and had never been a soldier. Although he didn't know how weapons were made, he had never eaten pork, so he must have seen pigs run away!
And in ancient times, it is not surprising to be able to draw exquisite weapon design blueprints.
"Indeed, I spent a lot of effort to design this. I wonder if General Zhang can build it?"
Zhou Hao asked again.
Although Zhang Meng had made weapons for the Han Dynasty before, the things he designed were completely different from those of the Han Dynasty, so just in case, Zhou Hao still asked Zhang Meng to confirm again.
Zhang Meng nodded excitedly and said: "My lord, it can be built in the end, but it will take a little longer."
"No problem, as long as you can make it, this is indeed more time-consuming than ordinary weapon making."
Zhou Hao nodded.
Although he is very anxious to get these weapons, he wants to use them on the Noah's Ark warship as soon as possible.
However, there is no need to rush this matter of building. After all, this thing needs quality, and quantity is not as important as quality.
What Zhou Hao was afraid of was not being able to create it.
Zhang Meng then said hesitantly: "My lord, in addition to taking a longer time, the general also needs an army of blacksmiths."
Zhou Hao thought it was something when he saw Zhang Meng's expression before!
Building a weapon cannot be done by one person, it must be done by many people!
So this request made by Zhang Meng is not a request at all.
"No problem, that's for sure. I need mass production, so how many people do you want, and how many people I will give you? In addition to the quality that needs to be passed, you also need quantity. Can it be done?"
Zhou Hao nodded in agreement
"But, none of our soldiers seem to know how to forge iron."
Zhang Meng's expression was a little troubled.
Zhou Hao patted Zhang Meng on the shoulder: "You don't have to worry, it's fine for this widow to solve it. You should prepare some materials first."
"Yes!"
After Zhang Meng responded, he immediately withdrew.
And Zhou Hao started to solve the matter of the blacksmith.
