General Zhenyuan muttered softly. Then he looked at the people in the tent and feigned a cough.

“Ahem!”

Lin Jiuyue: ...

Why do people often cough to announce their arrival? Can't they just speak directly?

"Uncle Gu, are you here?"

Lin Jiuyue turned around and saw General Zhenyuan standing at the door of the tent.

"Haha, Uncle Gu came to see how your research is going. Have you made any progress?"

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"Uncle Gu, this warship is actually not complicated. As long as we have the materials, we can make it."

When General Zhenyuan heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.

"September, are you serious?"

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"Yeah, really."

"However, we don't have the most important material needed for this warship."

After hearing this, General Zhenyuan waved his hand.

"Just because our army doesn't have it doesn't mean the court doesn't have it. What materials do you need? Talk to Uncle Gu, and he'll ask the emperor to send them to us."

Lin Jiuyue knew that the national treasury would definitely not be short of good things, but the Kingdom of Nanyue probably did not have this high-grade iron.

"Uncle Gu, building a warship isn't difficult. The difficulty lies in the fact that we don't have high-grade iron. That means iron with a purity of 99.95 percent or higher."

General Zhenyuan was stunned when he heard Lin Jiuyue's words.

The purity of this iron is different, you know. But just as September said, Nanyue really doesn't have that kind of high-grade iron!

"Haha, September, we don't have this high-grade iron you mentioned in Nanyue."

Iron is graded according to its purity, and the high-grade iron that September mentioned cannot be produced with the current strength of the Kingdom of Nanyue.

"Jiuyue, according to what you said, our Nanyue Kingdom doesn't have iron of this purity. Does that mean we can't make warships like theirs?"

Lin Jiuyue shook her head.

"Not really, it's just that the quality is way behind theirs."

General Zhenyuan frowned after hearing this. He lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking.

"Jiuyue, do you have any way to improve the purity of our South Vietnamese national iron?"

Lin Jiuyue: ...

No, although I came from the 21st century, General Zhenyuan didn’t know this. How did he think of asking me this?

"Uncle Gu, I can't handle the iron issue for now, but if you want warships, I can help you get some."

This time, we went out to look for treasure and brought back five warships.

Lin Jiuyue thought, if a warship was really needed, it would not be impossible for him to break into the enemy camp again.

General Zhenyuan looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.

"Jiuyue, are you serious? You can still get this warship? The exact same warship?"

Lin Jiuyue hesitated.

"Well, I'm not sure, but I'll try my best."

Hearing Lin Jiuyue's answer, General Zhenyuan said in a somewhat depressed mood.

"If it's dangerous, don't try it. Anyway, we already have five such warships now, so dealing with this war shouldn't be a problem."

After saying this, General Zhenyuan felt that what he said was a bit arrogant, so he added another sentence.

"At least, at least I won't be as passive as before."

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

With the space and bubbles, it probably won’t be a big problem for me to get some more warships like this.

But the enemy probably doesn't have many of these warships. Now that the enemy has lost five of these warships, they will probably keep a close eye on the remaining warships. Even if I want to get them, it won't be that easy.

"Uncle Gu, we can actually try to research how to improve the purity of the iron. However, this will take quite a while."

After hearing Lin Jiuyue's words, General Zhenyuan sighed and shook his head.

"Uncle Gu also considered this matter before. Increasing the purity of iron is not an easy task."

In the era of cold weapons, most of the tools needed for war were made of iron, and the value of iron was very high.

In addition, the technology of Nanyue was relatively backward, and the purity of iron could not be improved.

Moreover, the Nanyue Kingdom only had its border close to the sea, and there were not many opportunities for water battles. Therefore, the court did not spend money to study the purity of iron.

However, if the purity of iron can be really improved, it will be a good thing for the Kingdom of Nanyue.

"Jiuyue, if you can improve the purity of the iron, it would naturally be a good thing, but if you can't, you don't have to force it."

"You have already done Uncle Gu a great favor by producing penicillin."

Lin Jiuyue smiled.

"Uncle Gu, Jiuyue is also a citizen of Nanyue Kingdom. It's only natural for her to do this."

General Zhenyuan looked at Lin Jiuyue with admiration.

This girl is pretty good, much better than that vase Song Linlin.

"Women are no less capable than men. Although you didn't fight on the battlefield, September, you did a lot for our Nanyue Kingdom in other places."

"Don't worry, when we return to the capital after winning the battle, Uncle Gu will report to the emperor. No one can take away your credit."

Lin Jiuyue smiled and waved her hand.

"Uncle Gu, Jiuyue didn't do all this for that little bit of credit."

I have my own space, and this one treasure is worth many treasures from the Nanyue Kingdom. Why would I need the emperor of the Nanyue Kingdom to give me so many benefits?

"Uncle Gu knows, but this credit belongs to you, so it's yours. Even if you don't want it, Uncle Gu can't fail to report it."

While General Zhenyuan was talking to Lin Jiuyue in the tent, Lin Qiye and Gu Chengyan had already assembled the disassembled warship.

The next day, when Lin Jiuyue came out of the tent again, every two steps he could hear the soldiers talking about the warships that Lin Jiuyue and others brought back yesterday.

"Hey, have you heard? Our young General Gu went out this time with only Miss Lin and Centurion Lin, but when he came back, he brought back five enemy warships."

"That's five warships! I wonder how General Gu and his men managed to bring them back. It's incredible."

The moment Lin Jiuyue came out to get some fresh air, she heard these discussions. She wanted to turn around and avoid the soldiers who were talking, but she didn't expect that she had already been discovered.

"Miss Lin, Miss Lin is here."

After hearing this, Lin Jiuyue had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

"Miss Lin, Miss Lin, you are really amazing. You brought back five enemy warships as soon as you went out."

"That's right, that's right. Think about how much we suffered in their warships back then. If they didn't have such good warships, our war would have ended long ago."

…

The soldiers' compliments flowed out like they were free, and Lin Jiuyue felt a little embarrassed after hearing them.
