Daming: Insist on 60 billion explosive soldiers unwaveringly

However, knowing the approximate location is already a lot of effort left.

Immediately, Zhu Youchen clicked on his virtual map, and instantly transformed into a God's perspective. Looking at the overall situation, he instantly discovered his fleet to explore Australia.

In two days, the fleet has traveled all the way east along Java Island, explored Bali, Lombok, and Songbaguay Islands, and is currently replenishing fresh water on Flores Island.

Immediately, Zhu Youchen's eyes lit up, and he directly used his own system to issue his own order to the fleet.

"The fleet was immediately divided into two parts, and thirty warships were assigned to explore the island of Papua New Guinea in the eastern waters."

Although Zhu Youchen couldn't hear their answer, Zhu Youchen understood that they would definitely carry out their orders to the end.

"I don't know whether to discover Australia first or the island of Papua New Guinea first!"

There is a strong sense of anticipation in Zhu Youchen's heart, whether it is Australia or New Guinea Island, he can explosively increase his strength.

But at this moment, there is only so much he can do, and the rest can only be left to God to decide...

Zhu Youchen put such things in the back of his mind, returned his attention to his own system, and focused on the upgraded town center.

Although he has already seen the upgraded town center in advance.

A huge palace covering an area of ​​[-] square meters, including two side halls, and a square of at least [-] square meters.

However, Zhu Youchen is still most concerned about the role of town centers.

Building Name: Town Center

Rating: 16

Health: 16000

Defense: 1600

Upgrade requirements: 1000 two million farmers (7500000/**)

Producible: Farmer (Requires: 50 food)

Buildable: Armory, Battlements

Zhu Youchen ignored the upgrade condition that the gap reached 450 million farmers, and immediately fixed his eyes on the newly-appeared buildings.

To be exact, his eyes fixed on the word 'Arsenal' for the first time.

arsenal?

Zhu Youchen sat up straight and murmured, "Arsenal? Is it an arsenal for researching weapons?"

While speaking, Zhu Youchen couldn't wait to click on the icon of the arsenal, a house with a chimney.

[Arsenal: It can equip infantry, archers, cavalry and other military units with armor and attack capabilities, and enhance the capabilities of arrow towers and all defensive forces. 】

Surprise.

ecstasy!

Although it was not the siege equipment research institute or stable that Zhu Youchen wanted most, the appearance of this arsenal undoubtedly made his current army stronger.

Enhance armor and attack power?

Isn't this talking about improving the equipment on the soldiers...

Among other things, just by equipping the leather armor on his soldiers with the corresponding iron armor, the battle loss rate in future wars can be further reduced.

Although leather armor is good, it can never replace iron armor, and iron armor can directly weaken the power of lead bullets.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

At this moment, lead bullets are not so tyrannical that they ignore all armors. Before muskets appeared in his system units, this greatly narrowed the gap between his army and Western firearms troops.

It's not that Zhu Youchen didn't want to recruit musketeers or gun craftsmen, or even cannon craftsmen in reality.

However, not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive aspects of these two realities, why are these two types of people so easy to recruit?

These two kinds of people are real skilled workers, and they can get along very well anywhere, so there is no need to come to the Far East.

 …  

As for recruiting in Daming, the firearms of Daming have already opened up a big distance from the top firearms in the western world, and this kind of people are not the ones who come with you just because you say you want to recruit them.

Even the Hongyi cannons that have been blown up in later generations are considered to be the technology of 100 years ago in the last century. It is not completely outdated now, but it is almost the same.

And now the most advanced artillery and cannon-making technology in the West, under the call of a certain king, completely blocked the opportunity for circulation.

Even the West has formulated strict artillery classification standards.

The power of the Hongyi cannon is indeed powerful, but the foundation of its power is based on the continuous increase in weight, making any cannon weigh more than two tons.

Such a large weight is useless to defend the city, not to mention that Zhu Youchen's soldiers are not afraid of artillery at all, and can continue to charge against the artillery.

If the current artillery has no deterrent effect, it is basically no different from scrap iron.

Moreover, Zhu Youchen knew very well in his heart that he had developed in less than four months with all his efforts.

As long as he is given six months, he will definitely be able to accumulate technology to the age of emperors and mass-produce firearms.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen didn't hesitate, and immediately decided to build this arsenal... Next.

Chapter 137

【Ding, do you want to spend [-] gold to build an arsenal? 】

"Build immediately."

Zhu Youchen ordered the construction without any hesitation.

As soon as Zhu Youchen's voice fell, a large piece of foundation suddenly rose up beside the barracks, covering an area of ​​about a thousand square meters.

Whoa!

A large group of farmers stepped forward and construction began immediately.

At the same time, Zhu Youchen directly chose to start the construction of arsenals in all cities except Qiongzhou Island.

Amidst the clanging sounds, arsenals rose layer by layer at a speed visible to the naked eye, and were quickly built in the corresponding cities.

And Zhu Youchen also personally came to the arsenal in the city.

High walls and large scale.

The temperature of the originally cold air around him gradually increased.

Amidst the jingling sound, an unpleasant smell of urine and grease began to pervade, making people frown.

However, Zhu Youchen's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he didn't mean to go in at all. He just clicked on the operation interface of the arsenal at the door.

Building Name: Arsenal

Can be forged:

Full Armor:

Iron-studded leather armor (1 gold unit), copper iron wool armor (3 gold units), fish-scale iron armor (5 gold units)

When Zhu Youchen saw this, he took a breath immediately: "It's so cheap? It's not more than ten gold!!"

The arsenal has always been a gold-swallowing behemoth.

Zhu Youchen was still worried that if the equipment in the arsenal was too expensive, it would affect his explosion.

But at this moment, such worries are completely gone, and even a strong sense of surprise surges in my heart instantly.

Surprise.

ecstasy!

What is cabbage price?

Zhu Youchen can tell him loudly now: "This is the price of cabbage! The real price of cabbage!!!"

A gold unit is just one gram of gold.

A gram of gold makes a suit of leather armor.

The system is awesome!

And, more than that.

Zhu Youchen looked back and forth between the three kinds of armor, his eyes were shining brightly.

"There are still three types of armor. Now I can flexibly choose to equip the army according to the actual situation."

After saying that, Zhu Youchen was even more happy in his heart, this system is simply too considerate.

Reality is never a game, and soldiers are not cold data, and it's not like researching a set of armor and putting it on to be able to run wild on all terrains.

Although the defensive ability of leather armor is relatively weak, it is light and flexible, and is most suitable for forest and mountain terrain.

However, the heavy iron armor provides a huge defensive power, which can effectively reduce casualties in plain battles and sieges.

Although the defense of the cotton armor is between the two, it has a certain defense against muskets and arrows.

It can also ensure that soldiers can maintain their body temperature in the cold temperature and maintain their own combat effectiveness.

With these three kinds of armor, he can choose to equip the troops stationed in the future according to the specific local conditions.

The combination of the two advantages made Zhu Youchen's scalp tingle with excitement.

Moreover, with the arsenal, the weapons damaged on the battlefield can be effectively used.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen immediately ordered: "Forge 15 sets of fish-scale iron armor."

[Ding, the fish-scale iron armor is being forged...]

As soon as the words fell, the gold on Zhu Youchen's account began to be consumed. If it was completed, it would cost more than 110 million gold units.

However, Zhu Youchen didn't even blink his eyes. Compared with the more than 800 million gold he has at the moment, 100 million gold is nothing.

The important thing is that the arsenal can recycle weapons and armor, and it doesn't cost a lot of money in actual calculation.

But the 100 million gold units can arm his 15 advanced army, and participate in the next Luzon battle with even stronger strength...  …

even.

Zhu Youchen saw that the price of cabbage like the system already had the idea of ​​selling armor to earn the difference.

Similar thoughts.

When Zhu Youchen saw the cost of warships and transport ships in the dock before, it had happened more than once.

"After the artillery warships are produced in the future, all the existing warships will be sold to Ming's maritime merchants at a high price."

And compared to battleships.

Things like armor are easier to sell, and there will never be a lack of market.

Even though the flintlock weakened the status of the armor, it was only weakened, and the armor was still not eliminated.

If it is really implemented, it is estimated that the gold harvested from a trade will definitely not be able to resist the wealth obtained by attacking a city.

Real profiteering!

Zhu Youchen's heart was surging with thoughts for a moment, and his eyes gradually glowed green.

However, after a long time, Zhu Youchen let out a long breath and forcibly suppressed such thoughts.

"It's not the time yet, it's not the time yet."

In a short thought, the entire arsenal started to forge crazily like a fully powered motor.

[Ding, fish scale iron armor +1]

[Ding, fish scale iron armor +1]

[Ding, fish scale iron armor +1]

It takes almost three seconds to forge one piece, and this efficiency is beyond comparison with the machines of later generations.

But it will take five and a half days to completely forge more than 15 fish-scale iron armor...

Seeing this, Zhu Youchen immediately decided to build an arsenal in the harbor city of Qiongzhou Island at night.

Both factories started working at the same time.

"When I return to Qiongzhou, I will be able to arm my army in an instant."
