Xinzheng, South Korea.

"This kind of long ship can sail at the fastest speed at sea. The elongated hull can carry more artillery and cargo." A technical officer of the South Korean Navy Department introduced the hull model. The Technical Bureau of the Ministry of the Navy of Qin State was also on the sidelines. They learned about the structure of the long ship in South Korea, because a heavier iron beam was used as the keel, which caused the ship’s center of gravity to sink, which was not conducive to the speed of the ship Sailing, and Qin State proposed the use of a streamlined hull, specifically to reduce the resistance of the ship. Lengthening the hull is the result of this long ship, but this long ship still uses sails as power, because the steam engine is only an experimental nature. The South Korean Admiralty has begun to set up related projects to carry out experiments. If successful, they will quickly promote this type of ship.

"Well. How long does it take to build such a long ship." Han Shu is very interested in this new long warship. According to the Admiralty, this ship can increase the load of the ship. It is twice to three times that of the previous ship, and the firepower can be increased to 300 doors. This is a very terrifying firepower arrangement. Because of the use of iron beams, the ship can be made slender, and if wooden beams are used, The hull cannot be so long because the wood itself cannot bear such a long load.

"The construction cycle takes three months to complete at the earliest. If there are enough iron beams and sufficient manpower, it may be faster." The technical official said.

"Well. It's best to finish the work as soon as possible. You can just ask what you need." Han Shu said.

"The biggest problem at the moment is the iron beams. King, we need a lot of iron beams. Qin can provide such iron beams, but their quantity is small. Our iron consumption is very large, and the price is for us. It is very high, but for the people of Qin, it is not very profitable. If the Handan Iron Works can produce such iron beams, I think this is the best. Because they produce iron beams, the price will be reduced a lot, and Their cost will not be too high. Our shipbuilding price will drop a lot. A ship can be bought for only about one thousand two hundred gold. If the price of iron beams continues to fall, our cost can be reduced to one thousand gold." The technical officer said. The cost of this long boat is twice that of their previous shipbuilding, but the deadweight can be increased by two to three times. In this way, it is equivalent to spending the price of one ship to buy two to three ships. Prices and personnel costs have been reduced a lot, which is an important reason for the promotion of ships.

"I will solve these problems for you. This is not a problem." Han Shu nodded and said. This is really not a problem for South Korea. For Qin, the cost of iron beams used to make ships is indeed high and not profitable, but for Zhao, it is not a problem.

"Is there anything else?" Han Shu asked.

"There is also the model of this kind of ship that needs to be named. We haven't paid attention yet, and hope that the king can determine it." The technical official said.

"Yeah. It's easy to say. I see this kind of long-shaped ship, which is very fast and has a relatively good carrying capacity. I think it is called an arrow ship." Han Shu said with a smile.

"Yeah. Good name Wang Shang." The technical officials said one after another. Han Shu smiled happily. In this way, South Korea has its own ships.

State of Zhao, Handan.

"The prime minister, the prime minister, good news, the South Korean side requires to order a large number of iron beams. We can produce this kind of iron beams in South Korea, but we need some technical guidance from the Qin State." Li Zuoche said.

"Well, how many iron beams do they need?" Li Mu was very concerned about this issue.

"Preliminary estimate is that it will take a few thousand. Maybe more. After all, there is also the Chu Kingdom. Chu people are also actively building the navy. The demand in this area will be even greater." Li Zuoche said excitedly.

"Yeah. Thank goodness, our factory can be expanded, or a brand-new factory can be built. This will solve a lot of employment problems." Li Mu said lightly. The burden of employment on him was suddenly relieved a lot. This is good news for him.

Qin State Xianyang.

"It seems that this is indeed good news. But our Qin country wants to export a lot of technology to help Zhao build better iron beams. If possible, we can export steel technology. This is a must." Shang Wen has seen this. Speaking after the news.

"Well, Wenyang Steel has already started negotiations in this regard. They have exported hot rolling mills and upgraded their technology. In addition, I heard that Wenyang has a particularly large demand for electricity, mainly from the demand for aluminum. In this regard, I think we can consider that Zhao Guo will introduce power generation technology. A large number of power plants need to be built in Zhao. After all, we need a large number of power plants. Zhao Guo has generally cheap coal resources, although ours There are also power plants, but the production of electricity will be cheaper in comparison.” Meng Yi proposed.

"It's okay for them to let go of these restrictions and let them do it themselves. We can leave them alone. At present, what we mainly do is to guide them to give them the greatest support. This is what our government should do." Shang Wen said.

Inside Meng Tian's office.

"We visited your railway. I think this kind of railway system is a very meaningful means of transportation." Mons said excitedly. For the amount of cargo that the railway can bring at once. Mons was very interested. Because this kind of thing can bring huge transportation materials from the Qin State, the more such materials are obtained, the stronger the Tocharians will be.

"Well, you are right, but to build such a railway is very expensive and requires a lot of iron and machinery." Meng Tian said. This was his goal, to allow the Tocharians to build the railway, but the expenses had to make the Tocharians understand that the railway required considerable financial resources.

"We Tocharo. There is no way to build such a thing at the moment, it's too expensive. We don't have so much gold." Mons shook his head and said. Because he gradually became familiar with the Qin State, he became a special representative for contacting the Qin State.

"We know this very well, but our Qin State can help you build such a railway. Of course, the rights and interests are ours. You can sell land and other things. We will build this cost, that is, the ownership of the railway. The power belongs to our Qin State." Meng Tian said tentatively. He knows that this method of building a railway is very undesirable because it violates the other party's interests and 100% of the other party will reject it.

"No, no. No." Mons shook his head immediately after hearing it.

"We can’t do this. We will do it ourselves to build railways. However, we will never allow Qin people to enter our territory to do it. Although we know that Qin people do it for our own good, railways are our own business. About our Tocharians." Mons flatly refused.

"Yeah. This, we understand." Meng Tian nodded. Sure enough, Meng Tian's proposal was rejected by the other party.

"Well, we understand your rights. But at this time, we have a proposal from the Qin State, or you Tocharians can have a better way to solve this problem." Meng Tian said. Regarding the problem of product dumping after the railway was built, Meng Tian did not fully understand the impact, but from a military point of view, building a railway poses a greater threat to the Tocharians, because the railway can easily transport a large number of troops. Arrived in Tocharo. The Tocharians currently need a lot of assistance from Qin.

The Yue people are withdrawing their troops. The way they retreat is very quiet. After the Yue people retreat, the Indians were in an uproar, and then a huge chaos occurred. Some Indian city-states chose to continue to follow the Yue people because they did. The thing is too absolute. It is extremely unfriendly to many city-states, and some Indian city-states have chosen to be neutral, but they have to pay a great price for this. The price is that they need to pay a considerable amount of money to guarantee the losses they have caused before. The other part became the party that did not surrender to the Indian city-states. The Indians have changed a lot.

"Everyone, everybody, our military operation was very successful this time, but everybody, you should understand what we have lost." Atushi stood up and said.

This is a small high-level meeting of the tribal alliance. The tribal leaders were dissatisfied with this, because they lost a lot of land, slaves, and the Indians who followed, but they still have a lot of gains, at least they have never lacked women.

"We are very dependent on the materials of the people of Qin, mainly because we advance too fast. But the people of Qin do have difficulties. They need to climb high mountains to be sent to us, but what we are pushing is a plain, which threatens us. It's too small." Atushi said rationally.

"However, the Qin people gave us a plan that can completely solve all the problems. It also allows us to get back what we once got." Artush said excitedly.

"What is it?" a tribal leader asked anxiously.

"Railroads, as long as we build a large number of railways, we can directly transport materials to where we need them. As many trains come, we have as many weapons and ammunition, and there is no need to be afraid of how thick the walls of the Indians are." Tush said excitedly.

"Railway? I heard Qin people say about this thing. As long as one column of materials is needed, tens of thousands of ammunition is enough for us." A knowledgeable tribal leader explained.

"It's so amazing." The leaders admired one after another.
