Chapter 120: Weapons (3)
This is his own career, so he will naturally not fool him!
Zhu Cijiong turned his head and said to Ding Daniu who was hiding over: "What else does it need here in the Musket Square?"
"Of course, the more craftsmen, the better!"
Ding Daniu smiled and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, my firearm can now make 300 flintlock guns a day. The production of the meni gun has gradually begun to stop. As for the Minni gun you handed to me last time, your Majesty has also begun to be tested."
While speaking, Zhu Cijiong had already taken several craftsmen's food plates and looked at them. He found that everyone's food was the same, so he felt relieved.
He waved his hand and asked Zhao Ludan, who had been scolded just now, to come with him, and then led by Ding Daniu to go to the workshop.
"Your Majesty, the pedal-style car platform you mentioned is indeed easy to use."
Zhu Cijiong nodded. The book "The Art of Heaven" written by Mingzhong has a physical picture of human powered pedal lathes. At the same time, Europe also had such tools. He improved it to be a two-person operation, one person providing power and one person responsible for operation.
In addition, a new gear for clamping the workpiece, changing the steering and a hand-cranked tool holder are added.
In addition to power, the emergence of these three things is fully equipped with the prototype of artificial lathes.
"My descent mobilized skilled craftsmen to create three carts, and made a good barrel, peeled off the skin from the first cart, creating a uniform appearance.
Then it will be clamped in the second Taichung, positioning the muzzle, and then cutting out a center point, then putting it into the third Taichung, turning the barrel."
Although it was time for dinner, there were still people in this workshop, and it was obvious that the workers ate in batches.
From time to time, someone sent the forged barrel into the cutting area. Then a worker took the hand-forged barrel and carefully inspected it. After confirming it was straight, he would put it in the first car Taichung, tightened the screws, and fixed the barrel to the clamp.
Then an apprentice sat on something like a bicycle, stepped on the pedal, and through a series of gears, the clamp began to rotate rapidly.
However, the master next to him would slowly push the knife holder, and under the force of the rotation of the barrel, the knife cuts the barrel shape to a fixed size.
Zhu Cijiong picked up a barrel with a sharpened appearance.
I saw that the outer wall of the barrel was already as smooth as a mirror. Although you could still see the traces of cutting, the appearance of the barrel processed by the lathe has been completely unified.
After almost no error in appearance, the following two barrel drilling processes will not be easy to make mistakes.
"good!"
Zhu Cijiong sincerely praised and asked:
"These machines must have taken a lot of effort, right?"
Ding Daniu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty doesn't know yet. For these three machines, more than 30 masters gathered together to study them for ten days before figuring out these three machines that can be used."
"And the iron we melted has been wasted more than 3,000 kilograms!"
Zhu Cijiong nodded. This is a set of human-powered lathes.
In this era, how could he not understand the hardships of such a set of tools for cutting metal?
Even at Oman Bar, there is only the initial grinder.
Compared with simple tree lathes and rod machine tools like cutting wood, the one in front of Zhu Cijiong is very high-tech!
He smiled and said, "You should do more machines like this.
This kind of machine can make concentric parts such as screws, gears, etc., and its working parts must be concentric.
In fact, many parts are handmade and it is difficult to ensure complete unity, but if they are made using machines, they will be completely consistent.”
Zhu Cijiong pointed to the gear and said, "For example, you can switch the clip and cutter over, so that the cutter rotates, and the workpiece does not move, so that you can create a special piece!"
Ding Daniu's eyes lit up.
The reason why he was transferred to Nanyang by Zhu Cijiong to serve as the head of the craftsman's camp and musket workshop was because he was very focused.
Ding Daniuhua's white braids had already been cut off.
He decided to follow Zhu Cijiong to get six taels of silver and tell his son a wife.
But he didn't expect that in just one year, he decided to work hard for six taels of silver, now his annual salary has reached a total of fifty taels!
This is not the reward His Majesty gives from time to time!
"Your Majesty's method is good. As long as you set the card, the things you make will look the same!"
Ding Daniu immediately understood how easy it would be to teach him the method Zhu Cijiong would!
Originally, a gun barrel manufacturing like this required a master to make it, and even a master could only drill one barrel a day!
If you are not careful and do something wrong, you will be scrapped!
And now?
It can be said that now, when cutting the barrel, you only need to find a young man who knows how to read and teach the operation requirements, and you will be able to do it in three or two days!
In this way, these already rare masters can completely focus on creating wrought iron.
"How is the output?" Zhang Siyuan asked.
Ding Daniu smiled: "If you don't stop working, you can make 50 pieces in a day, one night and twelve hours, which is equivalent to the treasure of fifty masters!"
He sighed: "The machine positioned in the middle takes the least time, and the machine drilling the barrel in the end takes the longest time. However, even the last one can drill one in less than two quarters of an hour!"
"Where is the rifle?" Zhu Cijiong asked.
"This is simple. After the heating becomes slightly red, the master can get one in a few strokes." Ding Daniu said.
...
Zhang Siyuan frowned, and he whispered to his brother-in-law: "Xedong, do you remember the water mill outside Nanyang City?"
Li Tingran raised his eyebrows: "What you are talking about is the water drainage mill improved from Duji County (Weihui)?"
This Duji County refers to Du Shi, the minister of Du Jungong during the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Because he was from Ji County, he was called Duji County.
Zhang Siyuan nodded: "It was the improved mill of Du Mu Water Drill. I remember that in the Song Dynasty, someone improved the water drainage and changed the water drainage originally used for iron smelting into the water mill, Tang and Baihe River. There were many in those days."
Du's mother is one of the two "Chasing Father and Mother Du" and is also the source of the parents' official position.
The people call officials parents and originated in Nanyang.
Zhao Xinchen, from the Yuan Dynasty to Jingning period in the early Western Han Dynasty, was the prefect of Nanyang, and he developed the water conservancy in Nanyang and loved the people as his son. Therefore, he was called "Zhaofu!"
