Iron Dynasty

In the Department of Equipment, craftsmen surrounded Xiao Ming.

Production orders were issued from Xiao Ming's mouth. This craftsman is responsible for forging the main spring and has jurisdiction over five hundred craftsmen for forging, and that craftsman is responsible for striking iron and governs the production of four hundred people.

There are 500 craftsmen in charge of assembly and 700 craftsmen in charge of **** production.

"Now you keep in mind the size of your respective parts, and then you will forge them in accordance with the unified size standard. All parts with large errors will be discarded and must not be handed over to the assembling craftsman. Five points can only be punished in accordance with the rules of the workshop."

There is a hint of warning in Xiao Ming's voice. He has always been extremely strict with production. There are too many fake and shoddy goods in later generations. This is a malignant tumor in the industry.

Therefore, from the industrial point of view, he strictly molded a rigorous spirit in craftsmanship.

For production, there is no carelessness, only excellence.

The bolts and butts were put into production, and the rest was the barrel.

Zhang Liu hasn't been idle for the past month. He has been preparing knives. Compared with the gun machine, this technique is also very difficult, so Xiao Ming had to personally participate in this work.

This month, the Department of Apparatus has reserved some tungsten powder. Because the original carbon reduction method is adopted, the tungsten powder reduced each time always contains too many impurities. In the end, it has to be screened to obtain finer tungsten powder. rare.

In modern times, Xiao Ming’s method is said to be a huge waste, but for him this waste is worth it, because he does not need too many knives now, he only needs to meet the requirements of Qingzhou. At most about 500 of each kind.

After all, the number of lathes in the water conservancy lathe workshop nowadays is only this number. If there are more lathes, it is a waste. It can be prepared when the number of lathes is increased.

Song Changping left, and Xiao Ming went to the backyard of the Equipment Department, where the craftsmen were sharpening knives.

After failing more than a dozen times, Xiao Ming gradually understood that the process of calcining tungsten steel with tungsten powder compression was temporarily impossible to achieve in Qingzhou.

The most important thing is that one is that the amount of tungsten mined can't keep up, and the amount of tungsten powder extracted is also very scarce. The current reserve of tungsten powder is only about two kilograms.

However, there are not many tungsten steel knives that can be produced in this way, so he decided to retreat.

A few days ago, when Zhang was smelting steel, he added a small amount of tungsten powder and chromium powder to produce an alloy that is harder than the current Qingzhou Iron and Steel.

This kind of cemented carbide is also called tungsten iron in later generations, and it is also one of the candidate materials for cutting tools.

This kind of cemented carbide uses tungsten as an additive to steel, and the amount is generally small. In steel, it is dissolved in a small amount in molten iron. Because of its low solubility, it can only be added in a small amount.

As a result, the production of knives suddenly became formal.

Zhang Liu and the craftsmen also successfully produced the "tungsten steel" of this era.

"His Royal Highness, the tools of the boring machine and the milling machine are very smooth, but this drill is not easy to polish, but after so long, two pieces are always polished. Please take a look."

Zhang Liu came over at this moment with two drilling tools.

Tungsten steel was successfully refined, followed by the production of knives, which was consistent.

Holding the tool, Xiao Ming glanced at the hand-operated grinder. This is the most suitable grinder that he has read through the information these days.

This kind of grinder is purely manual. Generally speaking, it consists of two parallel wooden sticks with a grinding wheel in the middle. An iron rod passes through the middle of the grinding wheel and is fixed.

The iron rod sticks out of the wooden rod, and the outside is like a bicycle pedal.

This kind of mountain turbine can be cranked by hand or pedaled by a bicycle by a person.

In this way, the grinding wheel will rotate.

Touching the twist drill that had just been ground, Xiao Ming said, "How long did it take to grind this drill?"

"A whole day." Zhang Liu sighed: "boring machine tools and milling machine tools are easy, but this is always easy to break."

Xiao Ming nodded. This is normal, because the tool pays attention to hardness, which is hard and brittle, so it will break easily.

He said: "Add some people. At the end of this month, at least one hundred drill bits will be provided to the hydraulic lathe workshop. This flintlock is just a barrel."

Zhang Liu nodded, "Yes, Your Royal Highness, I will dispatch some skilled craftsmen to sharpen knives."

Day and night for a month, now Xiao Ming finally saw the hope of flintlock.

It's just that there isn't much time left for him. The northern barbarians are eagerly watching, and the Wa country, which is separated from the east, is also ill-intentioned.

He must race against time to consolidate his fief.

Handing the drill bit to Zhang Liu, Xiao Ming said, "Just grind out a few and send a few."

Then he went to Chen Wenlong and asked Chen Wenlong to go to the iron and steel workshop during this period to watch the production of steel bars.

And he also told him the size of the steel produced.

Now one piece of flintlock is produced. He waited for the tungsten mine for so long, but he didn't want to wait any longer.

Leaving the Equipment Department, Xiao Ming was in a particularly good mood, and it seemed that the air became fresher at this moment.

The science and technology of Dayu State is too far behind in this era. Starting from the artillery, he started to catch up step by step.

Now the second thermal weapon appeared, and his heart finally settled a little bit, because he was always worried that one day someone would suddenly hold a flintlock at his head.

Heading to the palace, Xiao Ming, who was in a good mood, was about to discuss with Luluo about customizing a military uniform for himself. When he first arrived at the door, he saw Wang Xuan.

At this time, Wang Xuan's face was pale, with a bandage on his arm, very fragile.

"What's the matter!" Xiao Ming frowned instantly.

Wang Xuan looked a little tired~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He said, "His Royal Highness, please speak in the main hall." When he spoke, Wang Xuan looked around.

Xiao Ming nodded. Wang Xuan has always been extremely careful in handling matters. At this time, I am afraid that the news will leak.

When the two arrived at the main hall, Xiao Ming asked, "What the **** is going on?"

"We were betrayed and our identities were exposed on the grassland. If we hadn't met the Lei Ming school lieutenant, we might not be able to return." Wang Xuan said.

Then he recalled: "Since the last time we detected the barbarians forging artillery, our secret guard sent many people to pretend to be merchants to mix into Shengdu. This time, the secret guard came to report that they had found the test field for the barbarian artillery. The officer decided to go and find out in person. We did see barbarian artillery in the outskirts of Shengdu, but the appearance of the barbarian artillery was a little different from our Qingzhou. Their artillery was yellow and greenish, and the barrels were thick and long. There are four or five meters." Wang Xuan said.

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes when he heard this. The artillery Wang Xuan described was a bit like the urban artillery in history.
