While Anna Caesar was in the court discussing grand strategy with her new mentor, in the flat field in front of Alarman's "Great Ladder" hydraulic workshop, Gawain on the horse looked at the little sunfish on his shoulder and pointed to the magnificent building, "Agnes, this is your masterpiece. ”

After a while, Agnes walked out anyway, and then walked to Gawain's horse, and her voice was a little faint, "Is the water wheel in there driving the mill, sawmills, and leather equipment?" ”

"There are stone mills, but the first and second workshops that are now in use are not for flour grinding or lathe sawing, they have a more urgent task." Gawain accosted, turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand to the staircase that went up the edge of the large workshop, and made a gesture of warm invitation, "You can go in and take a look, and at the moment in the small castle of Alaralman, I have a tool for you to see." ”

However, the little sunfish looked at him with a look of resentment and disbelief on his face.

After all, something like that happened, no matter how thick-skinned the brown bear of the other party was, he was still very, very embarrassed.

Gao Wen pretended not to see it, but he kept stretching his hand to invite.

In the end, the little sunfish lowered his head, did not say a word, and took the lead in front of the ladder, Gawain asked the Turkic servants to tie the mare to the stake under it, and followed behind the gray-haired girl, and the two of them followed the "big ladder" step by step, as if walking in mid-air, to the highest level of the first level of the workshop. 【】

After entering, Agnes saw a row of "fishtail canal holes" chiseled into the barrage wall at the river, its belly was curved, the entrance was large and the outlet was small, which well transformed the speed of the water flow, making it shoot out more vigorously from the "fishtail" - Agnes stood on the wooden platform with a fence at the entrance, and couldn't help covering her ears in the deafening sound of water and the sound of the wheel, "This fishtail canal is your invention, it makes the water wheel rotate half the efficiency!" Gawain stood next to her and shouted praise.

Agnes ignored him, and looked at the four staggered groups of large water wheels driven by the current, which rumbled and rotated with unrivaled power, and drove the mechanical shafts connected to them, two of which were used to drive the mill in front of Agnes: this stone mill was specially made, it was suspended in a shed with a strong and complex rope, and the grinding disc placed below was only a millimeter, and in the middle was placed a well-proportioned Khitan snow, which squeaked and quickly grinded into a uniform powder. Slavic craftsmen are carefully operating.

"Is this ......," Agnes asked curiously, because in the previous Khitan snow of Tarsus, saltpeter, charcoal, and refined sulfur were made separately, and then poured into wooden barrels according to the proportions of the recipe, and when it came to battle, it had to be slowly stirred with a round-headed shovel before it could be put into the cartridge for shooting with handcuffs. Now Gawain is directly in the grinding process, what is the point?

"The more uniform the particles of Khitan snow, the better the power and safety of the launch, so the previous wooden pestle pounding technology can no longer meet the needs, and it is necessary to use the grinding method, but with the traditional stone grinding, the friction with the grinding disc is large, and it is easy to deflagrate, injuring slaves and craftsmen, causing major losses and accidents. So I used the suspension method, which greatly improved the safety, saved a lot of manpower, and jumped the output. Gao Wen spoke eloquently, with smugness in his words.

At this moment, Agnes blushed and grabbed the robe in front of Gao Wen's bra, "Don't show off, all your machine-made ideas have been taken from me by extremely despicable and dirty means. ”

Then she pushed away Gao Wen, who raised her hands to say "loveandpeace", and looked at the other two sets of instruments driven by the water wheel: this is a technology introduced from the Seleucian paper mill, the long axis of the water wheel drives the flywheel here, rotates the short axis made of log cylinders, and the shaft staggers up and down four wooden pestles, and below is a group of four grinding bowls that are lined up, and the masked slave workers continue to use the basket to grind the Khitan snow from the mill next to it, and then pour it here to pound it and make it better, It was then passed on to other slaves sitting on rows of benches, who squinted their eyes and weighed them in uniform weights and measures, and then poured Khitan snow into rows of uniformly sized and lengthy paper tubes with Greek numbers written on the cylinders.

"Paper tubes have different specifications and are used for firearms with different regulations, which are called ration charges, so that when the firefighters use them, they do not need to use messy medicine paper tubes, wooden tubes or horns as before, which will greatly increase combat efficiency."

"That kind of gunpowder arrow, Khitan fire, resting in the copper and iron gun, how to launch, how far to shoot, it doesn't matter, right?" Agnes said with some sarcasm.

"The reason why I have made such a change is, of course, that there are new firearms that are compatible with this technology." Then, Gawain walked to the edge of the wooden fence and pointed to the top of the second workshop below, which happened to be connected to the wooden platform of the first workshop, and Agnes, who came over, was condescending and could see the whole production scene of the second workshop.

She was amazed that the floor of the second workshop was also full of industrious craftsmen and slaves, coming and going like ants, and they still used water power - at the drop between the two workshops, a sluice gate was used to cleverly keep the water flowing into the second workshop. Agnes saw several boring machines lined up, each inlaid with a cylindrical bronze tube, and a waterwheel-driven shaft with a sharp blade-shaped cutter inserted into it, constantly rotating and drilling holes in the bronze pipe......

"No wonder there's a lot of smoke coming out of the town."

"That's right, there is a pedestal furnace erected there, and there are many bellows and crucibles, everything is as convenient as casting a bell with bronze, but the style is different, and the formula has also changed compared with ordinary copper bells, this is to increase the hardness, withstand the power of the Khitan snow explosion, such as the proportion of tin is only one tenth, and add some brass into it, and you can forge what you see with a mold, the core pieces on the boring machine, drill them through with a hydraulic cutter below, and set up a fire door and a projectile room, Then install a qualified bronze cannon tail. In terms of form, I refer to the Madam Hammer of the Mujahideen on the Sebastian Plateau, but the materials, power, and trolley are much superior to them. Gawain said a little inflated, "How?" In order that you will not doubt my words, there are already two finished doors in the castle yard of the small town, and you can go with me to see them. ”

At the top of the hill, an open flat field was enclosed by a fence, and at the end a high platform was erected with wooden frames and earthen baskets, and in the middle was placed a wooden plank, on which was pasted a painting of a pair of linens, which Agnes looked at from afar, and which was a long-bearded figure with a crown and a hideous and disgusting face, under which was the Greek inscription "Persecution Maniac Narrow-minded Maniac, Constantinople Tyrant Alexios. Komnenos" ...... (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
