"The news is true. We have successfully smelted steel in the laboratory, and the effect is better than Qin's steel. It seems that we did it right this time." Li Zuoche excitedly said to Li Mu.

"Well, that's great. I'll check it out as soon as the meeting is over." Li Mu said excitedly. However, he is still trying to suppress his mood swings, because this will have a great impact on the meeting.

"However, we are currently only in the laboratory stage. If we smelt steel ourselves, we still need a lot of equipment. Professor Yang said that a lot of equipment needs to be improved." Li Zuoche explained to Li Mu.

"Yeah. I see." Li Mu nodded and said that he understood these things. It turned out that after Qin Guo got Professor Yang Ding. They could not wait to start the experiment immediately. They relied on Handan and began to gather all the equipment to carry out the experiment. The results of the experiment were very successful, because Professor Yang Ding had done similar experiments many times, and the Zhao government who got the results of the experiment was very satisfied. Happy, because they have finally mastered a position that can change their current disadvantaged position.

In the subsequent meeting, Li Mu had no patience. Although war could provide a great rigid demand, this demand was forced to be established. However, there are not many opportunities like this. The demand for wars in the surrounding areas has been reduced a lot, especially since Qin's large-scale combat method has been abandoned by Qin. It's gone. Li Mu thought about this, but it seemed unrealistic to start a large-scale war, but Li Mu was very happy now because they could finally have their own steel technology.

Xinzheng, South Korea. Inside Han Shu's office.

"My lord, we may have been a little late." Zhang Liang said to Han Shu with a report.

"What's the matter?" Han Shu asked.

"Before our intelligence department got news that Qin State had lost a piece of steel technology and did not get the attention of Qin State, especially Wenyang Iron and Steel. They thought their steel technology was very remarkable." Zhang Liang said.

"Yes, I remember you mentioned this matter, how was it?" Han Shu asked.

"We were a lot late, and the people of Zhao Guoren have already succeeded in the first place. Qin State is still unclear about this, but we know that Guoren Zhao will definitely use this technology." Zhang Liang said.

"Oh. Damn." Han Shu shook his head after hearing it. Han Shu is very clear about what steel technology means. The iron beams used by Korean shipyards have restricted their development. In other words, Korean ships need stronger steel if they want to build larger ships, but South Korea does not have that. Technology. They need to use this technology to complete the upgrade of their required materials. Therefore, South Korea is also paying attention to steel technology, but Zhao Guoren takes the initiative first.

"Sorry, Lord, we didn't do this thing well." Zhang Liang blamed himself.

"No. I don't blame you. You have done a good job. It's just that we haven't done a good job ourselves, nothing more." Han Shu said.

"The matter is over. What we need now is to see how the people of Zhao are doing, and we can cooperate with them. If we cooperate, I think we can get more convenience. They have the technology, we have the funds, and the problems are OK. There are many solutions. In addition, we need to import more iron products processing technology from Qin State, and further upgrade and transform, so that our lathes and processing technology can be further improved." Han Shu ordered.

"Yes, Lord." Zhang Liang said.

"The other thing is that we ourselves need to make steel, but we currently don’t have iron ore, and if we make steel, we need more coal and various iron ore. You can think of a way to find something like this. Things, we must have our own steel equipment." Han Shu continued. For steel. South Korea is a must-have material, because it is conducive to further upgrading and transforming their shipbuilding technology.

"We are working on this point, but we need to invest a lot in this area, and we still lack such professional and technical personnel. Although we have sent a large number of overseas students, prospecting is different from other majors." Zhang Liang Explained.

"I understand this, and I will give them enough time to do this." Han Shu said.

"This is the case for the time being, the specific department will handle this matter." Han Shu said.

"Has Chu's ship orders increased?" Han Shu asked. This is what she cares about.

"The increased number comes from the nobles. I heard that they need a lot of ships to go to their fief." Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"They got a lot of land." Han Shu said after hearing it.

"It's just that the number of ships of the Chu navy side has not increased much. They need our further cooperation to transport them to Bangladesh and build a series of supply logistics stations along the way. In addition, they seem to intend to build their own shipyard. All kinds of craftsmen are being recruited on a large scale. They may also start from our side and dig out our talents." Zhang Liang said worriedly.

"Yeah. There is no other way. Our talents are also very short. It seems that the people of Chu are going to build their own shipbuilding business." Han Shu said after listening.

"Yes, I think so too. Not only that, but it seems that there are more talents. They are selecting suitable candidates from the army to join the naval force. In addition, the size of the Chu army will rapidly shrink a lot. I heard that the army of one million will be reduced to about 300,000 to 400,000. This is still a lot. Others will enter the militia and become the private army of those nobles." Zhang Liang said.

"This is Chu's military reform. They will always leave a lot of problems." Han Shu said after listening.

"Okay. That's it. We are ready to get in touch with Zhao Guo." Han Shu once again ordered the iron and steel business.

Qin State, Xianyang.

"High-voltage circuits can be built quickly, but we need more new materials. Silver, silver." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"The current electricity gap in Guanzhong is still very large, and the Xianyang problem is not very big, but in other places, sometimes the circuit is not stable enough, especially the voltage. For us, it is very bad." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"Well, we need electricity, a lot of electricity, we need to build more power stations in the north, Taiyuan, and Shangdang areas." Shang Wen said.

"We need electricity." Shang Wen said.
