Chapter 514: Reinforcements Arrive
Seeing that Jiang Chen had made the decision, the ministers of the Grand bowed and accepted the order.
"We will obey your majesty's order!"
After hearing Gongsun Liang agree to his words, Jiang Chen turned his attention to the ministers.
"By the way, where is the Minister of Research and Development?"
As Jiang Chen finished speaking, a middle-aged man among the ministers quickly stood up.
"I am here, but I wonder what your Majesty wants me to do?"
This scientific research department was the department that Jiang Chen secretly instructed Gongsun Liang to set up before he left Yan Kingdom and went to the ancient holy land.
This department is independent of the four ministries, namely the cabinet, the institute and the academy. It is directly independent and only reports to Jiang Chen.
As for the responsibilities of this department, it is to study the drawings and ideas of the muskets and artillery left by Jiang Chen.
Of course, in addition to this, Jiang Chen also left behind drawings on the principles of steam engines and generators.
As a result, the tasks of the Research Department are actually very heavy.
Therefore, Jiang Chen did not actually have high expectations for this department. He just wanted to know the current research progress of the scientific research department on muskets and artillery.
"Tell me, how are you doing with the drawings and ideas I left behind before I left?"
Jiang Chen looked at the Minister of Scientific Research who was promoted by him from the former Supervision Department of the Ministry of War, and asked slowly.
In response to Jiang Chen's question, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and answered with a bow.
"Your Majesty, over the past six months, we have been following the drawings and ideas you left behind."
"I have developed new gunpowder and bullets, and have made substantial breakthroughs in muskets and artillery!"
"In addition, we have also researched the steam engine and generator you left behind!"
"But unfortunately, due to the limitations of steam engines and generators, I can only use steam engines for people's livelihood and industry."
"As for the generator, I am really incompetent and only made a prototype."
Jiang Chen, who originally didn't have much hope for the scientific research department, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this.
He didn't expect that the scientific research department, which he didn't have much hope for, would give him such a big surprise!
Out of shock, Jiang Chen stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't respond for a long time, the Minister of Science and Technology called him several times.
At the call of the Minister of Science and Technology, Jiang Chen slowly came back to his senses.
"Yeah, not bad, very good!"
"I didn't expect that the Research Department would be so successful. You did a great job!"
"Since the new muskets and artillery have been developed, have they been popularized among the Yan Nation's army?"
Jiang Chen came back to his senses and smiled at the Minister of Research and Development, then asked.
"Your Majesty, the new muskets have been distributed. As for the cannons, I have already stepped up the production."
"So now we have produced three hundred doors!"
After saying this, the Minister of Research and Development lowered his head quietly, waiting for Jiang Chen's reply.
After hearing this, Jiang Chen once again took a deep breath at the rapid development of the scientific research department.
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen finally came back to his senses.
It has to be said that the Research Department gave Jiang Chen too many shocks.
Even after living two lives as a human being, Jiang Chen could no longer bear it.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen is now a powerful god, and he quickly came to his senses with his understanding of the way of the sword.
"Distribute the artillery as soon as possible and replace all the heavy artillery in the artillery battalion with new ones!"
Following Jiang Chen's order, the Minister of Scientific Research bowed and accepted the order.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it as soon as possible!"
Seeing that everything had been arranged, Jiang Chen waved his hand and spoke to everyone.
"Okay, everyone, go down and make sure to arrange everything as quickly as possible."
Upon hearing this, the people led by Gongsun Liang, Yu Yanyi, and Yuan Taifu bowed to Jiang Chen.
"Your servants, obey your orders!"
Just like that, a group of ministers turned around and left the imperial study, and in an instant Jiang Chen was the only one left in the huge imperial study.
Looking at the empty hall, Jiang Chen slowly closed his eyes.
After making the decision to mobilize the entire country to support the Great Wall on the border, Jiang Chen finally felt relieved that he had been carrying a heavy burden in his heart.
"Huh, I have done everything I can. I just hope that there won't be any accidents on the other side of the Great Wall before I feel it..."
At the same time, at the border Great Wall of Western Shu Kingdom, the defending general Zhang Wei and his deputy general were guarding in front of the city gate, anxiously waiting for something.
After a while, a group of people slowly appeared in Zhang Wei's sight from afar.
Looking at that huge team of people, Zhang Wei immediately breathed a sigh of relief , a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Quick, follow me to greet the seniors from the Ancient Holy Land!"
Zhang Wei turned around and informed his deputy general, then strode forward.
After a while, Zhang Wei came in front of the team.
"Border Great Wall Guardian Zhang Wei greets all the seniors from the Ancient Holy Land. I wonder who is the leader among you seniors?"
As Zhang Wei finished speaking, an old man walked out from the crowd. It was the old man in hemp clothes who was ordered by Jiang Chen to lead the hundreds of schools of thought from the ancient holy land to rush to the border Great Wall for support!
"I am the leader of the Ancient Holy Land, General Zhang, nice to meet you."
The old man in hemp clothes bowed to Zhang Wei and said with a smile.
Seeing that the old man in hemp clothes was so polite to him, Zhang Wei quickly bowed and said, somewhat flattered.
"Senior, you are too polite. Only with the presence of you seniors from the Ancient Holy Land can the border wall be safe and the human race be worry-free."
"Okay, Zhang Wei, I won't waste any more words. Please enter the city, seniors!"
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he bowed and made a gesture of invitation.
Upon hearing this, the old man in hemp clothes smiled and nodded, then spoke to the people from the Ancient Holy Land standing beside him.
"Let's go, follow General Zhang into the city."
Under the leadership of Zhang Wei, a group of saints and innate master warriors from the ancient holy land entered the border wall one after another.
After entering the city, the old man in hemp clothes first helped Zhang Wei settle all the people from the ancient holy land, and then brought Wang Xu and Wang Jinnian from the Guigu lineage to the city wall.
Looking at the corpses of the demon monsters that had not yet been dealt with at the foot of the city, the old man in hemp clothes said with deep emotion.
“I never thought that I would be able to see the demons with my own eyes in my lifetime.”
Wang Jinnian, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard this.
"Yeah, who would have thought that the demons would make a comeback in our generation..."
"Looking at this situation, the seal of the demon clan has probably been broken long ago. It seems that our method of reinforcing the seal to cut off the threat of the demon clan is hopeless!"
After hearing what Wang Jinnian said, a hint of worry flashed across the old man in hemp clothes' eyes.
