Empire's Rise: Starting by Building a Fiefdom and Forging a Steel Dynasty!

An accident caused Li Xin to transmigrate to another world, becoming the third prince of the Great Gan Dynasty.

Looking at his fiefdom, which was covered in thousands of miles of ice and snow...

Chapter 85 New Development of Dongning

However, at least it's on the right track!

Moreover, the technology at the ironworks and steel mills is constantly being optimized and matured.

Li Xin believes that once more and better blast furnaces and reverberatory furnaces are built, steel production will double again!

With a large quantity of steel in hand, the production capacity of the Ordnance Bureau, Manufacturing Bureau, and Artillery Bureau also gradually increased.

The new steel knives and forks designed for the Prince's Guard have been mass-produced and incorporated into the standard equipment of the Prince's Guard infantry.

After the manufacturing bureau successfully trial-produced the lathe and grinding machine, the steel arrowheads were also being rushed into production.

These new arrowheads are sharper and can penetrate three layers of animal hide armor and one layer of plate armor.

After the Shence Battalion was equipped with these new bows and arrows, its combat effectiveness was significantly enhanced!

The steel is really good!

What pleased Li Xin the most was that the artillery bureau had also used molten steel to manufacture ten cannons according to the "Illustrated Explanation of Casting Cannons with Iron Molds".

Each cannon is made of pure steel and weighs 800 pounds, but its power is not weak!

Combined with the new type of fixed gunpowder pack specially developed by the gunpowder bureau, solid iron bullets were launched, with a range of more than one mile.

These ten cannons were named the Divine Might Invincible General Cannons and were equipped in the Divine Machine Battalion.

The standard equipment of the Shenji Battalion today consists of ten Great General Cannons and Thunderclap Bombs.

In terms of firepower alone, we have already entered the firearms era.

Li Xin believed that with these new firearms, the Prince's Guard would be even more powerful!
