Chapter 470 Making more powerful weapons

Author: big bell

In other words, Xiang Gong's main plan is not to attack the city, but in other aspects, the siege is just to assist.

The more Li Zhao thought about it, the more something was wrong, and he quickly ordered people to go to the young master to inquire about it. The news he got was that there was no news from a hundred elites, and no suspicious people appeared anywhere.

This is strange.

"Does Mr. Xiang control everything behind his back? Or does he have an agent on the surface, and this agent is someone known to many people? Otherwise, a stranger who appears in the Shanglinyuan area will definitely be noticed by the guards."

These are all his speculations, but there is no actual evidence, but Xiang Gong is always a hidden danger, and he cannot ignore it.

While everyone was celebrating, bad news came. The iron smelting workshop was robbed and a lot of things inside were lost.

"The iron smelting workshop was robbed?"

Li Zhao was startled when he heard this. Thinking of what he had just thought, his expression changed again and again.

There are all kinds of advanced weapons in the iron smelting workshop. If they are robbed, it will be a big problem. Let alone machine guns and the like, just a hand grenade is irresistible to people in the cold weapon age, let alone people who are intelligent.

More advanced weapons can also be created with grenades.

Of course, machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are precision weapons. Without blueprints, it is still difficult to manufacture them, which requires a long, long time of exploration.

Unless the secret code is also stolen.

When he thought of this problem, his expression changed again, and he quickly ordered someone to find Ah Chao.

After a while, Ah Chao came in a hurry, but he lowered his head and did not dare to look at the young master, but he was the first to express his negligence.

"I'm sorry, young master. Ah Chao didn't protect the smelting base. Everything is Ah Chao's fault. Please punish Ah Chao!"

Li Zhao sighed and patted Ah Chao's shoulder gently without any intention of blaming him.

"It's okay, I can't blame you."

Indeed, Ah Chao cannot be entirely blamed for this.

When the Qin army attacked, all the people who could be useful were sent to the battlefield. How many people could be left behind to guard the iron smelting base? Of course, no one thought that the thieves would be so cunning and attack the iron smelting workshop.

Moreover, Li Zhaoke felt that the thief came with a premeditated plan and must have been planning for a long time.

Otherwise, with the tight defense of the four-sided city wall, it is impossible for anyone to break in, unless they are already lurking in Shanglinyuan.

"Already lurking?" Li Zhao was secretly surprised. If this was the case, it would have been clear that Xiang Gong did not show up. He did not intend to attack the city, but the iron smelting base. The attack on the city was just a cover, with the purpose of stealing the weapons in the base.

.

This is not difficult to explain.

After experiencing the Battle of Xianyang, Xiang Gong knew that his weapons were far inferior to those of the Qin army, but he could not make them himself, so the only way was to steal them.

The Qin army's attack was to provide cover for the thieves. Naturally, whether the siege was successful or not was not that important to him.

"A very difficult person."

Li Zhao cursed, suddenly feeling overwhelmed. Facing a secret person, he was tired of dealing with it.

"But..." Ah Chao refused to forgive himself, "It's all because Ah Chao has neglected his duty and feels guilty towards the young master, Ah Chao, Ah Chao." The young man choked with sobs, which showed his inner complexity and guilt.

"Don't be like this yet." Li Zhao comforted Ah Chao and asked, "First of all, do you still have the secrets for making various weapons?"

At this point, Ah Chao looked even more guilty and lowered his head: "Everything that could be taken away was stolen, even the secret books. Not a single piece was left, even the machine tools."

What?

Li Zhao was shocked. Mr. Xiang was really ruthless. He even stole something as heavy as a machine tool. This showed how many people he sent. Thinking of this, his face turned blue and black.

To be able to steal so many things, there must be hundreds of people. It is impossible for so many people to act in Shanglin Garden without alerting the snake. It is impossible for no one among them to respond. In other words, there is a mole in Chang'an Township.

This is not the main thing. The main thing is that the secret book has been stolen and not a single one is left. This is the biggest loss and the biggest hidden danger.

It's not that you can't make various weapons if you lose the secrets, but that once these things are leaked, they may be made in large quantities by thieves, which will be very detrimental to the future situation.

This is the problem.

With these weapons, he can defeat tens of thousands of people with thousands of people. If Xiang Gong makes it by then, can Shanglinyuan still be able to deal with it easily?

The answer is no.

After one wave, another wave came, and he could predict that the next wave would be more violent.

"Is the craftsman still alive?"

According to the general practice of stealing, if someone stops you, you will definitely massacre. These craftsmen are not good at killing, and they are afraid that they will be killed when they encounter thieves.

However, Ah Chao did not show much sadness. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, I have been awake for several days. I asked them all to rest last night. Except for some guards and individual craftsmen on duty, most of them are safe and sound.

"

Li Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as everything is fine. Every craftsman is the treasure of Shanglinyuan. If he is really killed, that will be the biggest loss.

"Can we find out where they are coming from? Have we sent anyone to follow them?"

Ah Chao quickly said: "Judging from the traces, he left through the east gate. As for where he retreated from, Ah Chao has not yet found out."

"It's all because of Ah Chao's incompetence. Ah Chao will send someone to investigate."

Li Zhao waved his hand, indicating that it was no longer necessary.

It has been so long since the incident, even if the thief's whereabouts were known, it would be difficult to find him.

The east gate is close to the Bianshui River. The Bianshui River is a branch of the Weishui River. Downward is a larger river. How can we pursue it?

As for the route the thief will take after he succeeds, it will undoubtedly be the water route.

When the iron smelting base was first built, the problem of iron ore transportation was taken into consideration, so the base was built in the east, especially close to the east gate, to facilitate transportation.

And it is just for the sake of convenience that it facilitates thieves.

There are drawbacks to everything. At first, I considered the convenience of transportation, but did not consider theft.

"That's all, don't mention this matter again, just pretend it didn't happen."

The loss of a mass murder weapon is a big deal. Excessive publicity will only make people panic. It will definitely be a lot of trouble when the news reaches Qin Shihuang.

Fortunately, the manufacturing of sniper rifles is carried out in secret, and not many people know about it. Otherwise, if it is stolen, it will be a constant panic!

"Yes!" Ah Chao saluted, but he looked very unhappy. Li Zhao patted his shoulder again and grinned, "Don't take it too seriously. If the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come back. What's more, it doesn't matter to me."

No big deal."

But little?

Ah Chao was stunned when he heard this, and even his unhappy face showed a hint of surprise.

I thought to myself: "But Er Er" is the young master's true words or words of comfort? This is a serious question. If it is a word of comfort, it means that he has a status in the young master's mind, and he should be happy. If it is a word of comfort, he should be happy.

, that, that. He should be shocked.

I would like to ask, are machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and the like advanced? Are they terrifying? They are absolutely terrifying and advanced, and they are a must-win weapon in war. However, such a thing is said to be mediocre by the young master. How great is his experience!

No, what weapons he still has hidden in his heart!

"Is there any weapon in the world that is more advanced than a machine gun?" Ah Chao muttered with self-doubt, and his curiosity could not be controlled, so he blurted out, "Master, do you have a more advanced weapon?"

Li Zhao secretly sighed that Ah Chao was really sensitive, no, he should be smart. Just from his short words, he knew that he had more advanced weapons.

Yes, he does have more advanced weapons. It can be said that all the weapons in the previous life were in department stores. As long as he wanted to and had enough money, he could purchase them.

As far as the current situation is concerned, since the thieves have obtained the secrets and related manufacturing materials of several weapons, they will be able to make them in the near future. What they will face by then will not be Tiger Crouching Cannons. Therefore, in order to deal with them, even if he does not want to

We also have to come up with some better weapons, and we have to do it quickly. This task still falls on Ah Chao.

For example, if the opponent has machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, etc., he will bring out rocket launchers, tanks, etc., and if necessary, some drones to fight.

But he was just thinking about it at the moment. He had to think carefully about what kind of modern weapons he could come up with that could restrain machine guns and the like and be economical.

"That's right!" Li Zhao lowered his voice, he didn't want to be heard.

Ah Chao's eyes seemed to bulge when he heard this, and his whole body immediately became excited, staring closely at the pieces of fat like a beast seeing its prey.

"What weapon? Is it comparable to a machine gun?"

Li Zhao was surprised by the change in Ah Chao's expression and responded with a smile: "It's better than a machine gun."

ah!

Ah Chao couldn't react for a moment and let out a strange scream. His eyes were red, like a bloodthirsty wolf.

Li Zhao shook his head, patted his shoulder again, and said, "Don't be too excited. Although this weapon is better than a machine gun, it is very difficult to make and the process is complicated, making it difficult for ordinary people to control."

Ah Chao didn't consider it difficult to control at all, let alone the difficulty, and said excitedly: "Master, it's not difficult, Ah Chao is completely capable of it."

While talking, I asked for the secret book.

Li Zhao was choked by his impatience, but he did not take out the secret book, but asked him to come and get it in an hour.

One hour is enough for him to think about what weapons to get and purchase more advanced machine tools and other auxiliary equipment.

The stolen equipment is old, or is only suitable for manufacturing weapons such as machine guns. If you want to manufacture tanks and the like, higher-density equipment is required. The base has just been cleared to facilitate replacement, and it cannot be said that all stolen equipment was stolen.

It's a bad thing.
