Mu Chengzhi refused to admit defeat and said," Hmph, you're just a boor. I'm a civilized person, so I won't lower myself to your level."
Mu Yuan looked at the two of them and shook his head. He didn't say anything about them.
He looked at the wood spirit and asked," The people are back. I heard that they seized a lot of things?”。
After Mu Yuan finished asking, the Wood Spirit regained its seriousness and nodded." Yes, Commander. We did seize a lot of things. 50,000 silver coins and 500 taels of gold."
" Just in cash, I estimate it to be around 100,000 silver dollars."
"Look ~"
In fact, the wood spirit had wanted to discuss the investment of the arsenal with Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan looked at Mu Ling and understood what he meant.
He waved his hand and said,"Let's go out and talk."
Mu Ling nodded, and Mu Chengzhi followed along with two guards.
The few of them came to a small wooden house on Snake Head Mountain. Wood Spirit sat opposite Mu Yuan and said,"Commander, I think that if we pay 10,000 silver coins, we will need a year to start production."
" It'll take at least two years to fully produce the arsenal."
" But if we invest another 100,000 silver dollars, I can guarantee that we'll be able to finish building the arsenal within half a year, and that we'll be able to fill up the production capacity of the arsenal within a year."
......
The wood spirit talked for more than an hour, talking about the materials needed to build the arsenal.
Actually, he could solve them all. It was just that if he solved them himself, it would be slower.
Because he had to lead the workers to start from scratch.
However, if they bought some finished parts, they could speed up the production of the arsenal.
After Mu Yuan heard this, he did not immediately express his opinion.
Instead, he asked," Are those parts in China really reliable?”。
The wood spirit shrugged." To be honest, most of them can't meet the requirements, but at least they're finished products. They only need to be modified a little to meet the requirements."
" At least it's faster than having to build everything from scratch."
" Moreover, those parts are only overused. They can be replaced in a year or two."
" In a year or two, our arsenal will be able to produce even better parts and machine tools.
" Moreover, the parts in the country aren't expensive. To assemble all the machines in the arsenal, it would only cost about 50,000 silver dollars. I want to use the extra 50,000 silver dollars to open a technical school.
There were only Wood Element and Wood Spirit in the small wooden house.
After the wood spirit finished speaking, Mu Yuan fell into deep thought.
It wasn't that he didn't trust the wood spirit, but he was thinking about what kind of arsenal he could get in a year.
The wood spirit looked at Mu Yuan with some hesitation and said,"Commander, it's okay if you're unwilling. I can use more workers and try to start production within a year. However, the production capacity might be much lower than the method I just mentioned."
Mu Yuan looked at Mu Ling. After a long time, he smiled and said," You're trying to goad me, aren't you?”。
The wood spirit laughed." I trust the commander. I'm just teasing you."
Mu Yuan thought about it and said,"Alright, I'll give you 100,000 silver dollars. You can take all the money we seized this time, but I want to know what scale of an arsenal I can get in a year. Give me a rough estimate."
In fact, there was no need to estimate. The wood spirit had already calculated. His management ability was no joke.
Commander, so that's what you care about. Actually, if you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have said those words."
Wood Spirit smiled.
Mu Yuan knocked on the table and calmly said,"Cut the crap. Speak."
The wood spirit smiled and said,"According to the production line that I'm designing now, it can produce about 4000 tons of steel per year, and it's alloy steel."
" I need most of the steel to upgrade the production line of the arsenal.
" As for iron-smelting, it can reach 10,000 tons.
" As for the rifle production line, ammunition production line, artillery production line, and engine production line.
Before Wood Spirit could finish speaking, Mu Yuan quickly stopped him.
"Wait a minute. What's the situation with the engine production line?”。
You're joking."
The engine was different from making guns and cannons.
That required an extremely high level of skill.
Mu Yuan felt that the Wood Spirit was a little too arrogant.
However, the wood spirit asked in puzzlement,"Commander, the engine production line is used to produce engines. You should know about it, right?"
" I know you must think that it's very difficult to achieve. After all, engine technology is indeed more difficult than making firearms."
"But to me, it's not difficult. Besides, I can train at least 1500 skilled workers for you in a year."
" And I also want the arsenal to be able to produce more complete weapons.
After hearing this, Mu Yuan frowned. He was still worried that the Wood Spirit would take too big a step.
That was why he said," Actually, you can make those weapons later. What we lack now are firearms and ammunition. You can even delay the production of cannons for a period of time, but you have to guarantee that you can make firearms and ammunition within a year."
" That's all I have for the Munitions Factory. As for the cannons, it'll be a good thing if the Munitions Factory can produce them in a year, but if they can't, I won't say anything."
" After all, I know how difficult it is to make cannons.
Until now, there was still no usable cannon in the country. Mu Yuan knew how difficult it was to make a cannon.
After entering alloy steel, the previous cannon manufacturing factories in the country could only become assembly factories.
Most of the cannons were purchased from outside.
However, Wood Spirit smiled. He felt that Mu Yuan had underestimated him.
He had never understood how terrifying an all-rounder's ability was.
However, the wood spirit wasn't disappointed, because there had never been an all-rounded talent in this world.
The so-called all-rounded talents that appeared in the world were actually just those who studied more majors. They were called all-rounded talents.
According to the system's definition, an all-rounded person should be able to clearly understand and master any technique, theory, knowledge, and even every small matter in life.
Wood Spirit was such a character.
Therefore, he was the only person in the system. No other talent of the same level could compare to him.
" Commander, it looks like you've underestimated my capabilities. To me, as long as you give me enough resources and manpower, I can build an industrial scale on the level of a dwarf nation within a year."
" Of course, we don't have such conditions right now, but believe me, I'll definitely give you a relatively complete arsenal in a year."
" An arsenal that doesn't just produce firearms.
" The factory I'm planning should be able to produce the VZ24 rifle, ZB-26 light machine gun, Maxim heavy machine gun, M2 heavy machine gun, Thomas submachine gun, and M1911 pistol in a year. These are the most basic firearms.
" Other than that, we can also produce at least 75mm field artillery, and we can even plan to produce 105mm howitzers.
" Not just cannons, but also tanks. Even if it's the most basic tank, I want to make it."
" There are also military trucks. At the very least, military trucks should be able to be produced."
When he said this, the wood spirit's face was filled with excitement and yearning.
He knew that he could do it. He was confident that he could make Mu Yuan own such an arsenal in a year.
