The whistle of the steam engine sounded from time to time in the military workshop, and Chen Qi walked from afar, but the sound was suppressed by the long whistle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing this, Xiao Ming stopped and looked at Chen Qi, and only understood what he was talking about when he got close to ask for it.

"Really?" Xiao Ming asked again.

Since adopting converter steelmaking technology, he has been confident in the quality of Qingzhou's steel, and now the advanced production technology is enough to bring Qingzhou's steel to the level of the 19th century.

And this level is enough for him to promote the industrial revolution of the feudal country, because the quality of steel has already met the manufacturing needs of most machinery.

One of the criteria for determining the quality of this steel is to make artillery from today's steel, and if it can withstand the strength requirements of artillery, it is not a problem to transport it to other places.

"Your Highness, half a year ago, the military workshop used the steel produced by the steel workshop to cast a cannon, and we have been using this cannon for shooting for the past six months, and this cannon is not a bronze cannon in all aspects." Chen Qi stated.

Xiao Ming nodded, which means that the quality of the new steel has passed, and the strength standard can be used as cannon steel, so that he can save copper to make other things, after all, Dayu is now a copper-poor country.

"In that case, the production of this field gun should be able to increase." Xiao Ming asked.

Generally speaking, the number of artillery in the army is still a little small, all the field guns add up to only about two hundred, these field guns are enough to use in one war, but if they face two wars, it is not enough, and now Xiao Ming has a colony like the Three Mountains Kingdom overseas, and the colony must also be equipped with standard weapons.

Chen Qi said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is what the lower official wants to say, now it is no longer a problem to use steel to cast field guns, so that the workshop does not need to worry about copper, but now I don't know how many field guns are needed in the army." ”

"The production of another 300 guns should be enough for the time being, so that the number of field guns in the army reaches 500." Xiao Ming said with a deep groan.

For him, this field artillery is mainly aimed at the barbarians, after all, compared to the previous bulky artillery, these cannons are very convenient to transport on the grassland, he has never forgotten this barbarian nation that caused suffering to the Great Chongqing State, and in order to realize the prosperity of the Great Chongqing State, this hidden danger in the north must be solved.

"Yes, Your Highness, then the lower official will arrange for the craftsman to continue the production." Chen Qi said.

After the three of them finished talking about this matter, they talked about the production of firearms, and according to Song Changping, he and Lin Wentao were trying to establish an assembly line with a steam engine as the core.

This assembly line will be a collection of barrel manufacturing, spare parts standardized production to the final assembly of one-stop production, the first two of which are to steam engine to drive the lathe to achieve, now some of the lathe in the lathe workshop has been transferred to the military workshop, drilling machine, milling machine, grinding machine have.

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, so you have to set up a craftsman who specializes in inspecting the dimensions of spare parts." Xiao Ming hesitated and said.

At the time of industrialization in the West, standardized and refined production was transported to various factories, and inspectors were born with toolboxes to check the pass rate of products.

Now Lin Wentao and Song Changping are ready to let steam power realize assembly line production, which is unavoidable.

"Lin Wentao also said this, he has sent a batch of tools to the military workshop to measure the size." Song Changping said.

Xiao Ming looked at Chen Qi, Chen Qi also nodded, and then he sent someone to the workshop to take out the toolbox.

After a while, a craftsman arrived in front of the three of them, he opened the toolbox and spread it on the ground, and the long and short measuring tools inside appeared in front of Xiao Ming.

"Your Highness, this is what Lin Wentao sent." Song Changping took out a caliper from it, and the values on it were the millimeters, centimeters and other units that Xiao Ming had drawn at the beginning.

After he unified the measurement standards, the states and counties in the feudal country adopted this set of measurement units, and the same is true of Bowen College, from which Lin Wentao also learned this.

glanced at the wooden square box, and there were measuring instruments such as rulers, compasses, and protractors on the upper and lower floors of the box, and Xiao Ming was relieved to see this.

As more and more students of Bowen College participated in the construction of the feudal state, they began to take the initiative to apply the knowledge they learned to various places.

"Not bad."

Xiao Ming smiled, for him, the industrialization of the feudal kingdom will always be the foundation of his foothold, if the current feudal kingdom can reach the level of British industrialization, he will not care about the other feudal kings of the Great Yu Kingdom.

It's just that the time of four years is limited, and the industry has stayed in the small circle of Qingzhou, and has not extended to other states and counties in the country.

It's not that Xiao Ming doesn't care about the industrialization of the feudal country, but for four years of continuous war, he invested most of his financial revenue in the war consumption, and it is fortunate that his feudal country has not collapsed economically over the years.

Therefore, the workshops related to the military industry are very prosperous now, but they cannot be extended to other living industrial products.

And the most important point is that merchants profit from the war, they are more keen to invest their silver in the war to make quick money, although Xiao Ming is aware of this, but he can't help it, after all, the war needs money.

It was precisely because of this that he realized that it was extremely difficult to industrialize without a stable domestic environment, and because of this, he was anxious to get a stable surrounding environment.

Wang Xuan's intelligence said very bluntly, the king of Chu had already made contact with the French, and if the king of Chu finally cooperated with the French, it would be a threat to him, because the French would not only bring advanced weapons to the king of Chu, but also some different ideas.

And the thought is the most dangerous thing.

Holding various measuring tools and the two of them said a little bit about the production of the assembly line Xiao Ming will return to the palace, and now the emergence of this advanced industrial production method in the military workshop is a good thing, according to Xiao Ming's experience, any science and technology is first used in military convenience will slowly be transferred to civilian use.

If the production system of the military workshop matures, this will also lead to changes in the civilian industry.

Returning to the palace, Xiao Ming began to prepare for the enthronement, although he knew that this enthronement was only to correct his name, and could not change the decision of King Yan, King Zhao, and King Liang to fight Qi, but it can be seen from Pang Yukun's performance that this will have a great shock to the feudal country.

Because the soldiers of the feudal kingdom will no longer fight for a vassal king, but for an emperor, this encouragement of faith will make his army more powerful and powerful than before.
