Chapter 1344 Must Master

Cao Cao directly adopted Xun Yu's strategy.

The manufacturing technology of steam locomotives must also be in the hands of Cao Cao!

Since he was going to send someone to Bai Feng to learn the manufacturing technology of steam locomotives, Cao Cao was now worried about the selection of people.

Ordinary craftsmen would definitely find it difficult to undertake such a heavy responsibility.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao felt that the only two great craftsmen who were capable of learning the manufacturing of steam locomotives from Bai Feng were Ma Jun and Pu Yuan.

They were extremely talented in forging, and now they were also responsible for the forging and innovation of armor and weapons for the Wei soldiers.

After Cao Cao selected Pu Yuan and Ma Jun, he ordered them to come to the palace.

Regarding going to Hanzhong to learn the manufacturing of steam locomotives, he had to explain to Pu Yuan and Ma Jun in person.

And it was still a little insufficient to rely on just the two of them. They had to select a group of craftsmen from the current workshop and go to Hanzhong together.

Pu Yuan and Ma Jun, who were constantly improving the forging methods of armor and weapons in the workshop, were a little surprised after receiving Cao Cao's summons.

After the two arrived at the palace, Cao Cao handed Xiahou Dun's letter to them.

Ma Jun and Pu Yuan took the letter and read it curiously.

The more they read, the more shocked they were.

"I didn't expect that after Hanzhong Hou invented the steam engine, the steam locomotive was actually put into use in less than two years!"

Pu Yuan thought in shock after reading the letter.

When the price of the steam engine in Yecheng was close to 1,000 taels of silver, Pu Yuan reluctantly bought one and took it home for research.

After disassembling and researching the steam engine, Pu Yuan was once again impressed by Bai Feng's wild imagination.

When Pu Yuan first created new weapons for the Wei soldiers, he learned a lot from Bai Feng.

This had a significant impact on Pu Yuan.

Now seeing everything Xiahou Dun described about the steam locomotive in his mind, Pu Yuan was very excited.

"The Marquis of Hanzhong is still the same Marquis of Hanzhong. If he doesn't make a move, it's fine. But when he does, it's a steam locomotive, a national treasure!"

In Pu Yuan's heart, Bai Feng is already a master craftsman.

After learning about the performance of the steam locomotive, in Pu Yuan's heart, Bai Feng has surpassed Lu Ban!

"Your Majesty, this steam locomotive is definitely a national treasure!"

"We should buy a steam locomotive from the Marquis of Hanzhong and take it back for research!"

Cao Cao listened to Pu Yuan's excited words and nodded with a smile.

He understood that Pu Yuan understood the steam locomotive in the letter.

At this time, Ma Jun, who had just finished reading the letter, also said to Cao Cao:

"Your Majesty, if steam locomotives can be used in large quantities in Wei, then future wars will not only be wars of armor and swords!"

"With steam locomotives, my Wei will surely sweep the world!"

Although Ma Jun is a great craftsman, he also has a certain understanding of war.

In Ma Jun's view, the emergence and application of steam locomotives is absolutely earth-shattering!

"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao also laughed when he heard it.

"This steam locomotive is indeed a national treasure!"

"It plays a very important role in both war and people's livelihood."

"I called you two here this time because I have an important task about steam locomotives to give you!"

Seeing that Pu Yuan and Ma Jun both understood the importance of steam locomotives, Cao Cao told them the next task for them.

"Important task about steam locomotives?"

"Does it mean that we two should start developing steam locomotives?!"

Pu Yuan and Ma Jun were overwhelmed after hearing this.

The complexity of this steam locomotive is hundreds of times higher than that of a steam engine.

Pu Yuan has not yet fully understood the principles and manufacturing methods of steam engines, and Cao Cao suddenly gave them such a difficult task.

For a moment, Pu Yuan and Ma Jun felt clueless.

Cao Cao also saw the shock of Ma Jun and Pu Yuan.

"Hahaha, I'm not asking you to start making steam trains in Yecheng right now. This is really unrealistic."

"But the imperial court must control the steam train, which is a national treasure."

"So the task I give you two is to go to Hanzhong Hou to participate in the manufacture of steam trains and learn how to make steam trains."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Pu Yuan and Ma Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they are not asked to make steam trains in Yecheng, there will be no problem.

Apart from Bai Feng, who else can imagine and make steam trains out of thin air?

Anyway, Ma Jun and Pu Yuan think they definitely don't have this ability.

Then the two of them felt excited about following Bai Feng again.

"Great. Being able to learn how to make steam trains should be something that every craftsman should feel happy and proud of!"

"I can't wait to go to Hanzhong!"

Ma Jun and Pu Yuan's thoughts were surprisingly consistent at this time.

Then Cao Cao said to them again:

"Next, I will write a letter to the Marquis of Hanzhong to explain this matter."

"You two should also select a group of potential craftsmen from your respective workshops and take them to Hanzhong to learn how to make steam locomotives."

After hearing this, Ma Jun and Pu Yuan bowed to Cao Cao at the same time and said:

"Your Majesty, we obey your command!"

"Don't let me down, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao said in a deep voice to Pu Yuan and Ma Jun.

After the two left the palace, they hurried back to their respective workshops and began to select craftsmen.

Cao Cao started writing a letter to Bai Feng.

Three days later.

Ma Jun and Pu Yuan have each selected ten craftsmen.

These twenty craftsmen were very excited about going to Hanzhong to learn how to make steam trains under Bai Feng.

As craftsmen, they all have a great interest in steam engines.

Now there is an opportunity to learn the art of making steam trains. It can be said that everyone wants to get a place to go to Hanzhong.

Ma Jun and Pu Yuan also hesitated again and again before choosing the craftsmen they would take to Hanzhong.

After Cao Cao received the reports from Pu Yuan and Ma Jun, he directly asked them to set off for Hanzhong together.

Although his letter to Bai Feng should not have been sent to Hanzhong yet, he believed that Bai Feng would not refuse easily.

Unless Bai Feng really wants to break with Cao Cao and bring the relationship that has just eased to a freezing point again.

Just as Cao Cao expected.

After Bai Feng received Cao Cao's letter again, he didn't really care that Ma Jun and Pu Yuan brought craftsmen to Hanzhong to learn how to make steam trains.

"He who learns from me lives, and he who imitates me dies."

After putting down the letter, Bai Feng chuckled softly.
