On the afternoon of February 16, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao rushed to Liandao with great interest to participate in Kong Ming's musket shooting experiment. However, after the experiment, Qu Mao was actually a little disappointed.

Kong Ming was actually not very satisfied with the results of the actual firing of the musket. He just felt that the power of the developed musket was far from what Qu Mao described.

According to Qu Mao's judgment, what Kong Ming has developed now is at best the original version of the matchlock gun, which is far from the conceptual diagram drawn by Qu Mao.

But Qu Mao still encouraged Kong Ming to produce the finished product as soon as possible. The original matchlock gun can also be regarded as a hot weapon. Hot weapons and cold weapons will bring about huge changes in the shape of war. The Yihou territory must prepare early to win.

Therefore, Qu Mao planned to wait for Kong Ming to make a primitive matchlock gun with a wooden rest, and then ask Zhao Pan and others to recruit soldiers with outstanding military achievements. Even if there were only a few hundred people, they would have to start training in advance to use primitive matchlock guns in combat.

These early trainees may not have the opportunity to fight with primitive matchlock guns, but they will definitely be the instructors in the future when muskets become popular.

When Qu Mao was still inspecting the independent territories in the Eastern Continent, when he heard Kong Ming said that the problem of musket barrels had been solved, Qu Mao was very excited, thinking that the Yihou territory was about to enter the era of thermal weapons.

To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]

After watching the actual shooting experiment, Qu Mao also realized that it was impossible to achieve success overnight. Although Qu Mao was not a relevant professional in the other world, he had at least seen a lot of firearms, while Kong Ming was just an aboriginal hero, and his vision determined the use of firearms.

Research and development must be implemented step by step.

Qu Mao thinks it is remarkable that the problem of the gun barrel can be solved to the present level.

The original idea of ​​​​expecting to quickly improve the military strength of Yihou's territory through muskets was ultimately just a wishful thinking, and we could only continue to rely on Kong Ming's step-by-step research and development.

However, Qu Mao took a special look at the cheating technologies in the cheating system and found that new technologies had emerged. Regardless of their advantages or disadvantages, they all purchased them and sent people to Zhong Mou, the Minister of Science and Technology, to ask Zhong Mou to organize manpower for research and development.

Qu Mao did not leave Liandao immediately, but stayed with Kong Ming for a whole night, communicating with Kong Ming about his knowledge of guns and artillery in another world.

Regardless of whether Kong Ming can absorb it or not, Qu Mao feels that he must at least tell Kong Ming his knowledge one by one. Otherwise, Kong Ming will not have enough direction to develop muskets and artillery from scratch, and he will definitely take many detours.

On February 17, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao originally planned to leave early in the morning, but Kong Ming asked Qu Mao to draw drawings for a whole morning before letting Qu Mao leave.

Qu Mao did not return to Yi Island until February 17 after having lunch on Lian Island.

On the way back to Yi Island, Qu Mao figured out that the development of Yihou territory depends on the development of industry, science and technology, or on the development of education, which are unreliable things. The core still depends on cheating value.

.

At the beginning of the sixth year of Tianxuan, after the army, magic army, and garrison jointly took down the seven princely states on Dongda Road in one fell swoop, Qu Mao spent a full 40 million cheat points to replenish the strength of each department.

Kankan increased the overall number of warriors in Yihou territory by more than 5 million.

At that time, after all the troops with 40 million cheating points were spent, Qu Mao's cheating system only had 20 million cheating points left. Now, although nearly a month has passed, Qu Mao's cheating points have still only returned to 22 million.

Points above, compared to the past, the speed of accumulating cheating points is infinitely close to a turtle speed.

But Qu Mao also knows in his heart that such a speed of accumulation of cheating points is considered normal. The reason why the cheating points were able to increase rapidly in the previous period was mainly due to the reservoirs, water conservancy projects, the construction of Green Forest Town on the four industrial islands in the south of the Holy Land, and the construction of the Eastern Continent.

This is because each newly captured independent territory is frantically building its own town clusters.

The biggest disadvantage of crazy infrastructure construction is that the population of the Holy Land of Yihou Territory is not enough to move, and the resources and gold coins in the Yihou Territory account are consumed like a waterfall.

But Qu Mao, who is used to accumulating cheating points quickly, now finds that his cheating point acquisition speed has slowed down instantly. Qu Mao can't accept it. How can he increase his cheating point accumulation speed?

Sitting on the bed in his own bedroom in the lord's cabin, Qu Mao rubbed his hair feebly. It has been more than five years since he came to this world. Qu Mao's hair has always been trimmed by Su Yan with scissors until it is only half a foot long.

Now being rubbed randomly by Qu Mao, it instantly became very messy.

In the industrial and technological development of the Yihou territory, Kong Ming's ongoing research and development of guns and artillery should be a breakthrough point in the near future, but Qu Mao is not sure how long it will take to achieve a breakthrough. Other industrial production and technological research and development are basically at a standstill.

In the calm period.

Although the industrialized products of the four southern industrial islands can still continuously provide cheating values, the speed has slowed down. There is no doubt about this.

I thought about continuing to develop infrastructure, but continuing to develop infrastructure means that the gold coins and resource consumption of Yihou territory will increase significantly, and the demand for residents of the Holy Land will also increase. Maybe Yihou territory can be broken in an instant.

Back to simple balance.

Qu Mao thought a lot, but he still could not find a way to solve the problem of slow accumulation of cheating points. Although Qu Mao wanted to temporarily let go of this problem, if he did not solve this problem, the key support point for the development of Yihou territory would be lost.

After thinking for a long time in his room, Qu Mao finally got out of the corner. Regardless of the amount of cheating points obtained, as long as there is a surplus of cheating points, then go for it.

Whether it is gold coins, resources, or resident consumption, you can use cheat points to exchange it.

After thinking about this, Qu Mao immediately went to the writing room of his bedroom, took out a pen and paper and wrote to Su Yan, asking Su Yan to build a large number of windmills, mills and water conservancy facilities in the 25 independent territories of the Eastern Continent.

Residents grow food.

The Yihou territory currently has Liusu Kingdom, Qingyi Principality, and the independent territories of 25 princes on the main continent. All of them have built windmills, mills and water conservancy projects, which will inevitably start a large number of infrastructure projects.

Qu Mao told Su Yan in the letter that the purpose of building a large number of windmills, mills and water conservancy projects was mainly to improve the production convenience of residents in independent territories. As for how he could gain cheating points for himself, Qu Mao did not explain clearly.

Since Yihou Territory has another three months to recuperate, it naturally needs to be taken advantage of.

If there is going to be a war at the end of April, Qu Mao believes that he needs to at least restore his cheating value to more than 50 million points before the war begins to feel more confident. It is really not possible to recruit another wave of soldiers, and it will definitely happen in the second half of the sixth year of Tianxuan.

There will be wars.
