In the instrument division, the craftsmen surrounded Xiao Ming in the middle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

One production order after another was issued from Xiao Ming's mouth, this craftsman was responsible for forging the main spring and had jurisdiction over five hundred craftsmen for forging, and that craftsman was responsible for striking iron and had jurisdiction over four hundred people for production.

There were 500 craftsmen in charge of assembling and 700 craftsmen in charge of the production of butts.

"You now keep in mind the size of their respective spare parts, when the time comes, they will be forged in accordance with the unified size standard, and all parts with large errors will be discarded, and shall not be handed over to the assembled craftsmen, if the size deviation of the spare parts production is more than five percent, it can only be punished in accordance with the rules of the workshop."

Xiao Ming's voice contained a hint of warning, he has always been extremely strict with production, and there are too many counterfeit and shoddy goods in later generations, which is a cancer in the industry.

Therefore, from the industrial side, he has strictly shaped a rigorous spirit in craftsmanship.

For production, there is no so-so, only excellence.

The bolt and butt went into production, and the rest was a matter of the barrel.

Zhang Liu has not been idle in the past month, and has been preparing knives, which is also very difficult compared to the bolt, so Xiao Ming had to personally participate in this work.

This month, the equipment department has reserved some tungsten powder, because the original carbon reduction method has been adopted, the tungsten powder reduced each time always contains too many impurities, and finally has to be screened to obtain a relatively fine tungsten powder, which is very rare.

In modern times, Xiao Ming's method can be said to be a huge waste, but for him, this waste is worth it, because he doesn't need too many knives now, he only needs to meet the needs of Qingzhou, and there are about 500 of each type of knife at most.

After all, the lathes in the water conservancy lathe workshop are only this number, and it is a waste to have more, and the lathes can be prepared accordingly when the lathes increase.

Song Changping and others left, and Xiao Ming went to the backyard of the Instrument Division, where the craftsmen were sharpening knives.

After failing more than a dozen times, Xiao Ming gradually understood that the process of calcining tungsten steel by using tungsten powder compression could not be realized in Qingzhou for the time being.

The most important thing is that the amount of tungsten mining is really not keeping up, and the amount of tungsten powder extracted is also very scarce, and the current reserve of tungsten powder is only about two kilograms.

And this way there is not much tungsten steel cutting tool produced at all, so he decided to retreat.

A few days ago, Zhang Liu added a small amount of tungsten powder and chromium powder to smelt steel, and smelted an alloy that is harder than the current Qingzhou Iron and Steel.

This tungsten carbide was also known as ferrotungsten in later generations and was also one of the alternative materials for cutting tools.

This tungsten carbide is added to steel as an additive, the amount is generally not much, in the steel is a trace of dissolved in the molten iron, because of its low solubility, so it can only be added in small amounts.

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

Zhang Liu, along with the craftsmen, also successfully produced the "tungsten steel" of this era.

"Your Highness, the cutters of the boring machine and the cutters of the milling machine are very smooth, but this drill bit is not easy to polish, but after tossing for so long, two pieces are always polished, Your Highness, please take a look."

Zhang Liu came over with two drilling machine knives at this time.

The successful production of tungsten steel, followed by the production of knives, is continuous.

Holding the knife, Xiao Ming glanced at the hand-cranked grinder, which was the most suitable grinder in Dayu that he had been rummaging through the information these days.

This type of grinder is purely handmade, and in general consists of two parallel wooden sticks, in the middle of which is a grinding wheel, which is passed through the middle of the grinding wheel and fixed.

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

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

In this way, the grinding wheel will rotate.

Touching the twist drill bit that had just been grinded, Xiao Ming said: "How much time did it take to grind out this drill bit?" ”

"All day." Zhang Liu sighed: "It is easy to use boring machine tools and milling machine tools, but this one is always easy to break." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, this is normal, because the knife pays attention to hardness, which is the so-called hard and brittle, so it is easy to break.

He said: "Add some people, at least 100 drill bits will be provided to the hydraulic lathe workshop at the end of this month, and this flintlock pistol will be short of the barrel." ”

Zhang Liu nodded, "Yes, Your Highness, I'll send some skilled craftsmen to come and sharpen the knives." ”

After a month of night and day, now Xiao Ming finally saw the hope of flintlock pistols.

It's just that there is not much time left for him, the northern barbarians are eyeing each other, and the Wa kingdoms separated by the east are also ill-intentioned.

He must race against time to consolidate his fiefdom.

Handing over the drill bit to Zhang Liu, Xiao Ming said: "If you grind out a few pieces, send a few." ”

Then he went to Chen Wenlong and asked Chen Wenlong to go to the steel workshop to keep an eye on the production of steel bars during this time.

And he also told him all the dimensions of the steel produced.

Now that the flintlock pistol has produced one piece, he didn't want to wait any longer after waiting for the tungsten mine for so long.

Leaving from the Equipment Division, Xiao Ming was in a particularly good mood, and it seemed that the air had become fresh at this moment.

The science and technology of the Great Yu Kingdom has lagged too far behind this era, and he has begun to catch up step by step since the beginning of artillery.

Now that a second thermal weapon had appeared, he had finally settled down a little, for he was always worried that one day someone would suddenly point a flintlock pistol at his head.

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

At this time, Wang Xuan's face was pale, his arm was bandaged, and he was very fragile.

"What's going on!" Xiao Ming's brows furrowed instantly.

Wang Xuan's expression was a little tired, and he said, "Your Highness, please speak in the main hall." As he spoke, Wang Xuan also looked around.

Xiao Ming nodded, Wang Xuan has always been extremely cautious in handling things, and at this time, I am afraid that he is worried about the leakage of news.

When the two arrived at the main hall, Xiao Ming asked, "What's going on?" ”

"We were betrayed, and our identities were exposed on the grassland, if we hadn't met Captain Lei Ming, the lower officials might not have come back." Wang Xuan said.

Then he recalled: "Since the last time we found the barbarians forging artillery, our secret guards have sent many groups of people to pretend to be merchants to infiltrate Shengdu, this time there are secret guards to report that they have found the test range of the barbarian artillery, so the lower official decided to go to find out in person, in the suburbs of Shengdu we did see the barbarian artillery, but the appearance of the barbarian artillery is a little different from our Qingzhou, their artillery is yellow and green, and the barrel is thick and long, four or five meters. Wang Xuan said.

When Xiao Ming heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes, the kind of artillery described by Wang Xuan was a bit like the urban artillery in history.
