It was fully functional, with each area performing its own duties, and each workshop was equipped with corresponding manufacturing tools and equipnt.
Although the Bladed Weapons Workshop was nad for swords and knives, in reality, it could also produce various other short weapons.
The Long Weapons Workshop was responsible for long weapons. Because it involved weapon shafts, so of the tools inside were sowhat different from those in the Bladed Weapons Workshop.
The area of the Armor Workshop was thirty tis that of the Leather Armor Workshop, a full fifteen hundred square ters. In addition to leather armor, there was also a dedicated area for forging iron armor.
Rows of tall wooden racks stood side by side, with soaking pools, tanning pits, drying racks, and all kinds of tools fully available.
In the distance, rows of furnaces and forging stations, along with the separate armor plate polishing area and lacing area, presented an extrely magnificent sight.
The Bow & Crossbow Workshop covered one thousand square ters. Compared to the Archery Workshop, the tools here were clearly more professional.
The R&D Workshop was mainly responsible for researching and developing various types of weapons, including so large-scale equipnt, and also handled the evaluation and testing of weapons. Its area was also fifteen hundred square ters.
The Ingenious Devices Workshop was the area specifically responsible for manufacturing large-scale equipnt. It had the largest footprint, close to two thousand square ters. Items like the Vehicle-mounted Crossbow could be produced here. Massive pieces of equipnt stood on both sides like giant beasts; these were tools used to assist in forging large-scale siege engines.
However, from now on, the main task of the Ingenious Devices Workshop would be to produce killing machines for hunting large beasts.
Finally, the Storage Warehouse and the Materials Warehouse were responsible for storing finished equipnt and raw materials respectively.
The massive structure had a clear division of labor, and different workshops were separated by walls and iron gates.
At each of the four corners of the Yanwu Military Arsenal stood a watchtower.
This place was completely an eight-thousand-square-ter super armory.
It could mass-produce tools in an assembly-line fashion.
But it lacked people! It still lacked people!
Qin Ziwen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. To get this armory operational, at least three to four hundred craftsn would be needed.
He had originally thought it would develop towards refinent, but it had evolved towards quantity.
However, in terms of overall performance, it was stronger than the original three buildings combined.
That was sowhat acceptable.
Also, preparations for the iron mine needed to be made sooner rather than later.
Previously, a Level 2 Iron Mine was more than sufficient for the daily needs of one blacksmith and the Archery Workshop. Now, when applied to a super armory preparing to start up, it was clearly inadequate.
The group of apprentices and helpers brought in were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Although they were all modern people, such magnificent ancient architecture was still rare for them to see.
They were taken to the Bow & Crossbow Workshop and the Armor Workshop respectively.
These two areas would be their workplaces from now on.
The Bladed Weapons Workshop and the Long Weapons Workshop both beca Li Tieshan's territory.
Although these two had the smallest area.
But that was only relative; combined, they still covered over a thousand square ters.
It could accommodate over a hundred blacksmiths working.
"Master, I never imagined I could have sothing this big..." Li Tieshan's hands trembled slightly. He had thought the changes to the blacksmith might be significant, but not this significant!
There wasn't even a thirty percent resemblance to the previous buildings.
In the past, this would have been a heavily guarded governnt area.
Entering without permission would an losing your head!
Qin Ziwen asked, "Do you have enough manpower?"
"Master, definitely not! There are so many furnaces here. Not using them would be such a waste," Li Tieshan hurriedly replied.
"Alright, I'll think about it," Qin Ziwen pondered, wondering where he could get more blacksmiths.
Since the scale had expanded, professional blacksmiths were hard to find, but there were plenty of non-professionals.
Didn't Old Luo have a whole bunch of students over there?
Presumably, not all students were willing to fight on the front lines. For those willing to work, he could offer free positions here. Then, he could have Jia Liangcai establish a promotion system. In the early stages, he could just provide als, and later offer other benefits.
Not just for blacksmiths, but also for the Armor Workshop and the Bow & Crossbow Workshop, he could recruit people this way.
On the other side, the workers in the Armor Workshop and the Bow & Crossbow Workshop had already started working. At first, they were chatting and laughing with each other, but gradually, the noise faded away.
When Qin Ziwen ca to check, he found that almost everyone had their heads down, diligently focusing on their own tasks.
Work efficiency had directly increased by nearly double, if not more.
Leaving the Yanwu Military Arsenal, Qin Ziwen found Luo Gang and explained his intentions.
After hearing him out, Luo Gang thought seriously for a long ti, then asked, "Do you have enough food and water?"
Qin Ziwen said, "There's no problem in the short term."
They had hunted quite a few beasts recently, and with previous reserves, there was no shortage of food for the ti being. With the fish pond, water wasn't a short-term concern either. That's why he dared to offer these conditions.
"If that's the case, then I support it. This can also relieve quite a bit of pressure on us," Luo Gang said with a smile.
Qin Ziwen was curious. "Teacher Luo, aren't you afraid I'll poach all your people?"
Luo Gang said aningfully, "As long as they can have enough to eat and live with dignity, what difference does it make where they are? You and I are both descendants of the Yellow Emperor."
Luo Gang stated frankly, "However, whether they are willing to go or not, I can't force them. All I can do is truthfully tell them about your terms and let them decide for themselves."
"Teacher Luo, you are truly righteous."
Soon after, Luo Gang quickly relayed the news.
The many students still in the residential complex received the ssage. It wasn't just students; so other residents also heard about it.
So people muttered sourly in private, "Tch, isn't he just recruiting people for hard labor? Only those naive student kids would believe it. So gullible."
"He provides als."
"..."
"Provides als?!"
Those who were originally dismissive widened their eyes as if they had heard sothing unbelievable.
So of them couldn't even eat their fill, and yet this Qin Alliance dared to provide als? Where did they get so much food?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
The stubborn ones were still stubborn, but the smart ones had already set off.
"Building Head Zhao, is your Qin Alliance still recruiting people?" soone secretly found Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu maintained a neutral expression. "We are. But aren't you with the Alliance?"
"Ah, I'm asking for my wife. I joined the Alliance, but my wife hasn't joined yet."
"Let's do this. I'll go back and ask our Guild Leader. You know, although our Qin Alliance isn't large, we have more rules. A lot of people have been joining us recently. I need to ask the Guild Leader for instructions."
"Brother Zhao, I heard you're still single, and Shu Huan is already so big. Have you thought about remarrying? I have a cousin, from our sa residential complex. She's honest and doesn't talk much. She was married, but now that we've transmigrated, it's not much different from being widowed." Soone ca over with a smiling face to play matchmaker.
Zhao Pu felt a headache coming on. It took quite an effort to politely decline and send the person away.
In just one afternoon, he had received no less than twenty waves of people coming to inquire.
He also knew the reason. Because ordinary mbers of the Qin Alliance could get priority to beco "workers."
So these people were targeting joining the Qin Alliance.
But he didn't dare to agree to letting so many people join at once.
Just then, he saw a savior.
"Mr. Jia! Mr. Jia!" Zhao Pu's eyes lit up. This old man was full of ideas; he surely had a plan.
