In late June, Huang Sheng returned to Huangjiawan Island with his team, and this time the trip to Beijing was huge, with 200,000 catties of gunpowder and more than 100,000 taels of silver. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

These are nothing, what makes Huang Sheng feel most gratified is that he saved thousands of Ming craftsmen, and he picked more than a thousand people to bring to the Huang family.

This is the top skilled worker in the Ming Dynasty, many of them were only going to work in the Huang family for a month or two, but after they came to Huangjiawan Island and Scorpion Island to work for these days, they all had the idea of not going back.

Where have these lowly craftsmen ever obtained such a comfortable working environment, where have they gained real respect, when they first came to Scorpion Island, they saw that the craftsmen of the Huang family were all neatly dressed, and they all learned to chew words when they spoke, and they thought they were all pretending.

When they used to work in Wang Gong's factory, officials came to the top, and the officials also asked them to do so for half a day. Who knew that in the past half a month, after coming into contact with the people who worked in the Huang family.

The craftsmen who came from Beijing found that their life in Wang Gongchang might not be much better than that of the Huang family's labor prisoners, who had long been well-fed, literate and cultural, and proud of their self-proclaimed scholars.

The craftsmen not only work hard, but also participate in literacy classes at night, they also regularly participate in the promotion exam, and the craftsmen who have passed are generously invited to drink with good friends.

Some Huang family craftsmen designed a thing that was not much great in the eyes of these top Wang Gong factory craftsmen, and they were able to get a one-time reward of more than thirty taels of silver, and all the new craftsmen were shocked.

The master of the Huang family is so kind to us lowly craftsmen, how good it is to be able to work in this beautiful and clean place for a lifetime!

Later, a large number of craftsmen who had known each other before arrived, most of whom were masters who were unwilling to go to sea to work in the Huang family before the explosion, and now they have all dragged their families with them.

The craftsmen who were already working here were all strange, they were all familiar with the neighbors, and they immediately came to ask the reason.

The frightened old brother snorted and cried about the place where he used to work and live was blown to the ground, but fortunately, the kind head of the family happened to be at the meeting and engaged in a fight with great fanfare that day.

A large family of them got up early in the morning and went to fight outside the Guangqu Gate of Jingshi to try their luck, but who knew that it was not the wealth that they had gained, but the lives of the family.

The craftsmen who came first were all scared into a cold sweat, and secretly congratulated themselves on coming to the Huang family early with their wives and children.

Now these craftsmen who originally worked for a short time have no choice, of course, if they have a choice, they will not hesitate to choose to work for the Huang family, and everyone is determined to stay and work for the Huang family.

With these more than 1,000 top craftsmen devoting themselves to the research and development and production of Huangjia firearms, both production and scientific research have achieved twice the result with half the effort.

The artillery produced by the Huang family was born, this is not an iron cannon, but a unique cast steel cannon in this era, and the benefits and advantages are more than the cast iron cannon.

The most noteworthy is the same power of artillery, the Huang family's steel cannon is two-thirds lighter, and the number of sustainable shots is doubled, eliminating the possibility of exploding, of course, under the condition of ensuring that the gunner uses it in accordance with the operating regulations.

The artillery produced by Daming is all clay mold cast guns, which requires a long cycle and a high scrap rate. The Huang family used a steel mold casting gun, and the all-liquid molten steel was poured into a mold lined with quartz sand, and trachoma could not appear at all after full stirring.

The steel mold can continue to be re-lined with quartz sand many times, so that the casting of the cannon saves too many man-hours and saves a lot of costs.

The cost of artillery produced with such technology has plummeted, the quality has risen sharply, and the flagship of the Huang family will soon have its own rifled gun equipment.

The wall thickness of the steel cannon is thinner, the heat dissipation performance is much stronger than that of cast iron, and the effective number of shots has been increased.

Scorpion Island is a military control area where the Huang family produces artillery, flintlock rifled guns, and high-quality steel, and all the armament is made here. There are boats coming and going from Huangjiawan Island every day, only five nautical miles, and it will take less than half an hour to arrive.

The families of craftsmen and laborers working on Scorpion Island all live on Huangjiawan Island, which is a single dormitory, and workers can go home to reunite with their wives and children every three or five days.

The control here is strict, all workers have work number plates, daily attendance, no non-staff entry and exit, and the families of workers are not allowed to come here.

The Huang family produced a rifled gun with rifling on the inner wall of the barrel, and the projectile rotated along the rifling line of the gun when fired, and had a certain speed after exiting the muzzle, which could keep the shell flying steadily.

Such technology should have been available more than 200 years later, and of course it is necessary to strictly prevent the outflow of technology, and it is relatively easy to keep secrets about the production of these cross-era products on the island.

The rifled gun has a high muzzle velocity, a long firing range, and a parabolic trajectory, which is suitable for long-range strikes, and the main role of rifling is to give the warhead the ability to rotate, so that the warhead can still maintain the established direction after being discharged, due to the effect of centripetal force, so as to improve the hit rate.

Such an artillery was similar to the British Armstrong-type artillery, but alas, it was still front-loaded. The difference with the artillery of the same period is that there is rifling, and a barrel hoop is added to the tail of the gun to ensure that the gun will not explode.

Compared with the monolithic cast cannon body of the same period, the advantage of the multi-layer composite cannon body of the Huangjia artillery is that its weight is greatly reduced, and the outside of the cast iron cannonball is coated with soft lead like a mini bullet to devour the rifling. This allows the shell to effectively engulf the rifling and rotate and fire, and the shell is designed as a conical warhead in the style of a modern cannonball.

It's just that rifling guns are not easy to manufacture, especially the milling cutters used for processing are too rare, and such a high-hardness material is completely mastered by the experience and feel of the master.

There is no way, with Daming's technology, it is not possible to analyze the chemical composition of raw materials. The use of special steel can only be roughly determined through physical property tests, but fortunately, Zhao Shimin took a young craftsman who could write to form the text.

In the future, masters with practical experience will emerge in an endless stream, and the output will naturally rise.

Now the population of the Huang family has increased sharply, and there are more than 1,000 craftsmen from Wang Gongchang, and there are 6 or 7,000 people in towing the family, which actually relieves the pressure of the Huang family's resettlement house in Beijing, and the extra land can build a large number of commercial houses.

The Huang family now has three islands, with a total area of more than 20 square kilometers, a population of no less than 30,000 soldiers and civilians, three general banner archers, 180 cavalry officers, and six general banner heavy infantry 360 people.

The hot weapons unit had 880 men, including 200 qualified musketeers and 680 loaders.

Now it can leave 200 sticks per month, and minus the scrapped ones in training, there can be a net added value of more than 150 sticks per month.

The Huang family's flintlock pistol is finely crafted, and the barrel is made of high-quality steel that has been forged many times to increase the density and drilled with an animal-powered drilling machine, and now it is impossible to produce seamless steel pipes, and the quality of the rolled steel pipes is unreliable, and the Huang family simply does not allow a weapon with a trace of flaws to hurt the heroic soldiers.
