Which outcome results when Song Dynasty iron casting efficiency increases rapidly?

💡 Explanation

Increased iron production allowed scaling of military technology, so standardized cast iron components streamlined gunpowder weapon manufacture through economies of scale, rather than decreased bolt production, gear corrosion, or armor shifts because of iron's expanding availability.
