Whipped with light cream and made of saltpeter. This time Renault made the simplest ice cream with average taste. Fortunately, there is no additives, spices, and it is purely natural.

Next, Renault doesn't have to worry about it. Women's talent for cooking has been completely discovered. In the days that followed, the General's Mansion was shrouded in a thick sweetness.

The most terrifying thing is that the chrome steel that originally wanted to create stainless armor was all turned into cake molds.

Holding a piece of cake in his hand and tiger teeth holding more cakes, Renault walked into the long-lost back garden. Behind them, Yulin and Dingxi soldiers, each with a small piece of milk fragrance.

"Cui Qing, thank you for your hard work, take it and eat it." Huya hurriedly sent a piece of cake to explain the loss. The person in front of him was much more reduced than the Jiugong Master. In less than a month, Cui Qing lost thirty kilograms and was losing weight at a rate of one kilogram a day.

The problem is, he is not fat at first.

"Please, Mr., please." Some time ago, Mr. was busy. It is said that he was studying the hatching method of Tianpeng eggs. I don't know if he has done it. It seems that he is in a good mood.

"Don't be polite, how have you been doing recently?" Renault asked.

"The flying cow cuts off the flow of iron, which has been more than 300 kilograms." Cui Qing said. In fact, he did some private work and ordered the blacksmith to continue to melt ten furnaces. Following the steps of his teacher, he did exactly one step. As a result, only two furnaces of refined iron with manganese were produced, and the other eight furnaces were scrapped.

In fact, it is not a big deal to waste a few furnaces, but the delay will take a long time. The melting point of Feiniu Shuoyi iron is very low. It can melt one furnace in more than an hour. It takes at least three hours to add manganese iron, and it takes half a day to add one furnace.

"Well, it's not bad. Have you ever calculated how much material a set of armor requires?" Renault said that talents need to be tempered. With the God of Wealth, he would have already done it.

"Thirty-two pounds are enough." Cui Qing replied that the flying cow's broken flow iron is lighter than the refined iron, and naturally requires less material.

"Very good." Renault was quite satisfied. If the blacksmith had good skills, it would be enough for only 30 kilograms, but the blacksmith in Dachu was uneasy.

"General Zhu, General Yang Feng, General Luo Yi, Zhao Duo, Zhang Tuo, each with heavy armor. In addition, I will make one for each of them, Tiger Teeth, Tiger King, and Tiger Sister." Renault said, these are nine sets of armor. Considering the blacksmith's craftsmanship, Renault decided not to be too serious, and it would be better to leave some wasted space.

"Yes." Cui Qing responded, looking at his expression, as if he wanted to speak but stopped.

"What do you want to say?" Renault asked. Cui Qing was still very kind. During the period when he was away, the furnace did not stop for a moment. The ten blacksmiths were arranged in an orderly manner by him, and they would not get tired or leave them idle.

"Sir, a few days ago, General Sun Lei, the commander of the Craftsman Camp, asked to see him several times, but because his husband was busy, he refused." Cui Qing said.

"Oh, General Sun Lei, is there something wrong?" Renault knew that Cui Qing was the manager of the craftsman. In theory, General Sun Lei was his boss, and for the sake of his own, he made things difficult for him.

"Yes, there are no arrows in the army." Cui Qing said,

"Lack of arrows? Why are there no arrows?" Renault asked in confusion. This is the border army. The Dingxi Desert Legion has an army of 150,000 and is often reserved for weapons. Why are there no arrows in wartime?

If this is true, Sun Lei should have killed him.

Cui Qing's little eyes looked like an idiot: "Sir, there are naturally no arrows in this army."

This...what is this? Renault really doesn't understand.

"Huya, go and see what General Luo Yi is busy with. If he is not busy, please come here." Renault felt that Cui Qing was a literati, so he must have let those killers in the army deceive him. How could there be a shortage of arrows in the army?

Luo Yi is really fine. He just ate half a piece of cake and was about to reminisce that there are more than thirty ovens, but there are many people in the General's Mansion, and many people have not tasted it.

"General Luo, are there no arrows in the army?" Renault asked bluntly.

"This... is naturally lacking, it has never been lacking." Luo Yi thought for a while before he realized that the gentleman was asking whether he was lacking arrows, but whether the legion lacked arrows, which must be lacking.

"But...how can there be no arrows? Don't you create arrows?" Renault asked incredibly.

"Of course, the creation is not only day and night, but it has never stopped." Luo Yi said naturally.

"How come there is a lack of arrows?" Renault felt like an idiot, or a chicken or a chicken or a duck, and his thinking was not on the same road at all.

Cui Qing also understood a little. Mr. and great talent, but he still didn't know much about Da Chu: "Sir, arrows need good iron, even if they are not refined iron, they must not be bad. Some iron is crisp and some iron is soft. They need just the right iron material. After more than ten times of forging, they can create arrows."

He explained in detail, from smelting metal to completing an arrow, the whole process was explained, without even letting go of the details.

Reno was so intoxicated...

The arrows of Dachu are not cast, but forged, like creating swords and halberds...

hehe……

Arrow, that's a consumable, okay, you actually want to forge it out, what's the joke? The sword and halberd can be hit slowly, and it requires quality, but can the arrow work? A crossbowman can shoot ten or even more in one battle. Do you create it by hand? Do you also need to use the folding method?

According to Cui Qing, Renault knew that an arrow, a blacksmith could beat three or five a day. This was not considered the skill of apprenticeship.

There were more than 1,700 blacksmiths in the Dingxi Army's craftsman camp. This data has left Renault speechless, but compared with the number of 150,000 Dingxi Army's craftsmen, he couldn't even cry.

To make the simplest calculation, one thousand seven hundred blacksmiths made all their efforts to create arrows, and did nothing else. Each household created three arrows a day, and in a year, there were only more than one.8 million.

Is there a lot of 1.8 million? The Dingxi Army and the auxiliary army are all counted in addition, so each person is only assigned a dozen arrows.

In fact, it is impossible for a blacksmith to just hit arrows and do nothing else. The Great Chu halberd, horizontal sword, cow horn sword, armor, vests are used in military use, as well as pickaxes, hoes, hammers, shovels, and Dingxi Army.

No wonder the Dingxi Army lacked iron tools, which made people collapsed.

Renault frowned and thought for a moment: "How much iron is needed for an arrow?"

"Two stone bows and three stone crossbows use one or two arrow clusters, and one and a half arrow clusters are used for siege crossbows." Cui Qing only mentioned these three types. In fact, there are many types of crossbows in the army. Two stone bows, three stone crossbows, and siege crossbows are standard crossbows, with the largest number and the most arrows used.

There are stronger crossbows, but most of them are for officers, the arrows consume less, and they are made by special people.

"How many furnaces are there in the Jianghu Camp? Is there enough iron?" Renault continued to ask.

"The large furnace is fifty-five, the medium furnace is eighty-two, the small furnace is countless, and the iron material is sufficient." Cui Qing was very familiar with the craftsmanship camp and opened it at once.

"Tell Sun Lei that I have asked someone to prepare a large amount of sand molds. After the preparation is made, the large furnace will be turned on every quarter of an hour, and the liquid is poured into the liquid of the first furnace. Then come to me after it is the liquid of the first furnace." Renault knew it in his mind.

The Great Chu is the decimal standard, one pound and ten taels per pound, and one large furnace is 500 pounds. That is iron, not ore. As long as it is well prepared, according to the standard of ordinary steel, one furnace can cast five thousand arrow clusters, and fifty-five furnaces can be opened together, and more than 250,000 arrow clusters can be cast at one time.

Based on two furnaces a day, more than 500,000 arrow clusters can be produced in a day.

This is the difference between Renault and Cui Qing when chatting before. They created 1.8 million a year and more than 500,000 a day. How do you talk about chatting?

"Mr. Xie." Cui Qing knelt on his knees and saluted. This was the first time he had performed this great gift.

"Stop kneeling, I still have questions. How do you polish the arrow cluster here? Let's show me." The good man did it to the end, and Renault completely gave up on the industry of Dachu.

"yes."

After a while, a blacksmith came over with a bundle of arrows, saluted and greeted her. Then she sat on the ground and took an arrow, one with one arrow and the other with the other, grinding the stone...

Sure enough, Renault patted his forehead lightly, but fortunately he asked more questions, otherwise even if he could cast enough clusters of arrows, polishing would become a big problem. With this kind of manual polishing, if it is required to be higher, he will never finish a single arrow in a day.

Shaking his head: "Cui Qing, do you still remember those two gears?"

"Of course." Cui Qing replied quickly. He saw that the gentleman was quite dissatisfied with polishing the arrow cluster. After following Renault for a while, he began to be dissatisfied with the efficiency of the craftsman camp, which was too slow.

"To create a pair of gears of different sizes, remember this time that the ratio of size should be appropriate and not too large. Fix the grinding stone in the middle of the pinion and rotate, do you understand?" Renault tried to explain in words, wanting to see what Cui Qing has learned these days.

Cui Qing thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he understood. The big gear drives the pinion to rotate rapidly, and the pinion drives the grinding stone to rotate. As long as the arrow cluster is placed on it and grinds, it will be countless times faster than manual polishing.

He bowed to the ground: "Mr. Xie's teachings."

While thanking me, I secretly scolded myself for being damn. I had already learned gear transmission, but I didn't expect to learn and apply it. It's really damn.

"Cui Qing, remember to tell General Sun Lei that there must be more sand models, and at least more than 500,000 sand models a day." Renault felt that it would be better to remind him in advance. With the brains of the people of Da Chu, it is impossible to imagine how big the difference between casting and forging is.

"Five hundred thousand?" Sure enough, let alone Sun Lei, even Cui Qing, who had already begun to accept the new concept, could not accept such a huge number.

"Cui Qing, this can be calculated. A furnace of molten iron is 500 kilograms, an arrow cluster is one or two, and a furnace is five thousand arrow clusters, a large furnace is fifty-five, two furnaces a day, you can calculate it yourself."

"Ah..." Cui Qing's calculation ability is pretty good, but it took a long time to calculate it. Five hundred thousand is not enough.

And the gentleman made a mistake. If you smelter ore, you can smelter two furnaces a day. The craftsmen use smelted iron ingots. You can squeeze three furnaces a day.
