Chapter 55 Development Is the Top Priority (Second Update)

"Old Zhou, what did you talk about with Lao Ma?"

An hour later, Sun Gong sent Zhou Shu away from the God Detective Division. The two walked out side by side. Sun Gong bumped Zhou Shu with his shoulder and asked.

"secret."

Zhou Shu said.

"You don't mean enough."

Sun Gonggong shouted, "I treat you like a brother, why are you hiding it from me?"

"It has nothing to do with whether you regard me as a brother or not." Zhou Shu said, adding in his heart, I am your uncle and nephew.

What he said to Ma Fengzhang was somewhat taboo, too many people knew it, and it was not good for anyone.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, and if I tell you, this matter cannot be done."

Zhou Shu explained casually.

It's okay if he doesn't explain. The more he explains, the more puzzled Sun Gongyi becomes. He looks like he's scratching his heart, "Why don't you tell me secretly, and I'll pretend not to know?"

"Can you keep the secret?"

Zhou Shu asked.

"able!"

Sun Gong's chick pecks rice.

"I can too!"

Zhou Shu said.

On a tall building in the God Detective Division, Ma Fengzhang, with his hands behind his back, looked at the back of Zhou Shu who walked out of the gate of the God Detective Division, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said to himself, "He is really an interesting young man, if it weren't for him With a clean background, I really doubt that he is a spy from some country."

"It's just a talent for casting soldiers, which country is willing to use it as a spy?"

"Strategic cooperation, interesting..."

...

After returning from the God Detective Division, for a few days, Zhou Shu's life became as boring as before when he was an apprentice of casting soldiers.

Every day, I start to cast soldiers from the morning until I go to bed at night, and I don't leave the casting workshop for a whole day.

The only change is that he now has one more job, which is to test the work effect of Zhang Yibei and others.

When he was just an apprentice in casting soldiers before, Zhou Shu only needed to devote himself to casting soldiers. After becoming the master, Zhou Shu gradually got a better understanding of the operation mode of the casting soldier workshop.

Not to mention the former No. 36 Workshop of the Casting Division, that is already another level of existence.

Just taking the seventy-two workshops as an example, there are tens of thousands of soldier-casting apprentices. Some are in charge of casting weapons, some are in charge of refining ore, and some are in charge of repairing and repairing. In short, each has a division of labor.

Zhou Shu used to think that a soldier casting apprentice could forge one or two weapons a day, but the entire casting department could not supply tens of thousands of weapons a day?

How many troops does Daxia have to use these weapons?

Only after he became the master did he realize that among the tens of thousands of soldier-casting apprentices, only some of them are actually responsible for casting standard weapons, and standard weapons are not only swords, but also bows and arrows, spears, armor and so on.

The land area of ​​Great Xia is several times larger than that of Huaxia in the previous life. The number of national defense troops alone is as many as one million. Even if there is no war, the loss of weapons during normal training is not a small amount.

Not to mention, the border of Great Xia has never been short of wars.

Zhou Shu and Ma Fengzhang have reached a strategic cooperation, and there is one more channel for news than the general head of the casting department.

The more he knows, the more he can understand the gap between a soldier casting master and a soldier casting apprentice.

If the Apprentice Casting Arms is an assembly line worker in an arsenal, then the Apprentice Casting Arms is a scientific and technological talent who studies missiles.

The two are not comparable at all.

A soldier casting master was never born from a soldier casting apprentice, it has its own set of inheritance system.

This is also one of the reasons why the Casting Division doesn't pay much attention to the apprentices of the Casting Army.

"No wonder Xiao Zongshui's principals are oppressing the soldiers casting apprentices so much, Si Li didn't seem to see it."

Reminiscent of his previous experience, Zhou Shu felt a fit of disbelief.

It's not that the Great Xia court doesn't value talents, but that apprentices who cast soldiers are really not considered talents...

Even a person like Zhou Shu who has shown his talent for casting soldiers is only of training value to the Great Xia court, not so important.

Before he became a soldier casting master, no matter how talented he was, he was only a soldier casting apprentice.

And whether he can become a soldier-casting master is something that no one can guarantee.

It's too late, and there will be no shortage of examples that are not necessarily good.

Of course, Zhou Shu is not an ordinary soldier-casting apprentice. The Tiger Bendao, Bailianhuanshoudao and Zhanmadao he developed are of extraordinary significance to the Great Xia National Defense Army.

Otherwise, Yin Wuyou wouldn't have directly promoted him to be the head of Workshop No. 0, and Emperor Yuan Feng and Meng Bai wouldn't have paid much attention to him.

This is equivalent to directly changing from an assembly line worker to a national cadre, and it has also attracted the attention of the head of the state and the head of the Military Commission.

"The journey of a military caster is difficult, and the journey of a warrior is not so easy."

Zhou Shu also got some news about the warrior from Sima Fengzhang, the god arrester.

Great Xia's martial arts is strong, and almost everyone practices martial arts, but it is not bad to have one out of hundreds of people who can become a high-ranking martial artist.

This is equivalent to the fact that there are quite a lot of people who go to school, but there are not so many who are actually admitted to 985 and double first-class.

And although becoming an entry-level martial artist can directly have the status of a master, this status is not for nothing.

In the Great Xia, all entry-level warriors either automatically join the Second Demon Slayer Army, or they have to join the God Detective Division, at least, they must become the God Detective Division's enshrined.

Want to be a free man?

Sorry, entry-level warriors, except for the wanted criminals, are all incorporated by the state, either accept management or be cleared, there is no third way to go.

It is impossible to rely on force to be a rich and powerful man in Daxia.

Accepting the national incorporation, although there are many benefits, also has many obligations.

All entry-level warriors of the Demon Slayer and Demon Slayer Army have missions that must be completed.

The same is true of God Detective Division.

In short, it means that entry-level warriors have superior status and treatment, but at the same time, they have to face dangers that ordinary people can hardly encounter.

Unless the value of that kind of force has surpassed the existence of the country, there will be no such thing that a high-end warrior can despise the court.

After all, so what if it is the first rank of martial arts?

Emperor Daxia is a first-rank, and there are not a few first-ranks in the imperial court. If they dare to rebel, it is still a dead end.

"Fortunately, I was cautious enough before that I didn't casually expose my martial arts cultivation. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I will often have to perform dangerous missions now."

Zhou Shu also felt a little fortunate in his heart. He also thought that if he showed a genius, Daxia should not focus on training it?

Now it seems that there may be some emphasis on training, and the risk is not small.

Together, he disclosed his martial arts cultivation, even if the imperial court took care of his talent for casting soldiers, the tasks that should be performed were also indispensable.

"It's still safe to be an army builder, and you don't have to fight and kill."

Zhou Shu is very satisfied with his current choice, "Wait for the day when my cultivation level exceeds the first rank, and then I will reveal my cultivation level at that time."

"My Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu has reached the eighth level, and the sword intent of the Heavenly Sword Technique has also been completed. Only this golden bell cover is the first level."

Zhou Shu was thinking about his current capital, the only function of the first level of the golden bell cover is to reduce the pain by half when he is beaten.

This is completely useless to Zhou Shu.

For him, the only way is to cultivate to the twelfth level of the golden bell cover, to achieve the indestructible body of the vajra, and let others beat and kick, chop with swords, burn with fire and flood with water, sleepless or eat, and even eat poisonous intestines. , can be safe and sound, at that time, it is really stable.

"I just don't know how much feedback I can get from beheading the secret agent this time."

Counting the days, it was almost time for the execution that Mi Ziwen said.

Mi Ziwen promised Zhou Shu that the executioner would use a saber to execute the execution. In this case, it would definitely bring him a wave of gains.

I just don't know to what level this wave can raise my golden bell cover.

"And what Ma Fengzhang said about the Great Xia military parade—"

Zhou Shu thought of another thing Ma Fengzhang told him.

The Great Xia Emperor has authorized him to participate in the Great Xia military parade, and the news will be announced in a few days. At that time, I'm afraid it will cause him a lot of trouble.

In the history of the Great Xia military parade, no soldier casting apprentice has ever participated in a military parade.

It was the peaceful world of the previous life to shoot the first bird, and you have to face cyber violence when you become famous, let alone here.

"You have to think about it carefully, how can you show your strength not to be underestimated, but also not be too showy—"

He didn't show much before, and he was directly on Dawei's assassination list. If it wasn't for Daxia's strong response, someone might have come to assassinate him by now.

Zhou Shu now has a very clear understanding of himself. Although he has some strength, he is definitely not at the point where he can do whatever he wants.

There is always nothing wrong with keeping a low profile.

"After the mission of General Meng is completed, I have to talk to Da Sikong."

Zhou Shu thought to himself, "Workshop No. 0 must have its own position. I don't want Workshop No. 0 to become a sweatshop like Workshop No. 97..."

After receiving a lot of news from the God Detective Division, Zhou Shu has now started to think about more things.

Now he seeks stability and development.

In this world where the strong are like a forest, sometimes it is not a good choice to blindly seek stability. When it is time to do things, you have to do things. Only when you really become strong can you be truly stable, otherwise, Everything is just a tree without roots and water without a source.

The Casting Division Workshop is his foundation, and he wants to do something on it so that he can gain a more stable foothold.

"It would be great if Da Sikong could agree with my idea."

Zhou Shu thought to himself, "How can I get her to agree? I don't know if I can reason with a woman."

"If it doesn't make sense, it's a big deal, I'll use the beauty trick—"

Zhou Shu gritted his teeth and thought, no matter what, Yin Wuyou had to agree to his idea, otherwise, all his follow-up plans would not be able to be carried out.

Sorry for being late today, everyone. I was too busy at work during the day, and I didn't have time to code words. The two updates were sent out at the same time, and I apologize to everyone.
