Chapter 111 Mysterious Group

"Okay, okay! Go and do it quickly. Even if you need it, all the personnel and supplies here will be dispatched today!" Zhu Bashiyi nodded repeatedly, and his nose felt a little sore because he was too excited.

There is a mechanism made of copper springs and a fuse made of mugwort. Although the trigger and hooking parts are temporarily hung on the side, they are not placed inside the gun body and under the gun like later generations. But overall, something that can be called a musket has finally been set in front of me. On this day, more than nine months have passed since the moment the first two souls merged, and countless twists and turns have been experienced in the middle.

However, Jiao Yu's next move made him feel a little numb. He saw that he skillfully clamped a piece of cooked iron sheet about three or four millimeters thick with iron pliers, first placed it on the charcoal stove and burned it red, and then rolled it on a pre-made iron stick. Then, he used a small hammer to direct two apprentices carrying sledgehammers, and knocked on the iron sheet like music. After only half a stick of incense, he knocked out the prototype of another iron pipe.

Then the process of heat melting and brazing with bronze strips was as skillful as flowing water. Then, the process of the forward and reverse convexation of the two barrels inside and outside was a little effort, and the file was used to adjust the thickness of the inner tube in the middle. After the two tubes were nested and reheated, the remaining forging work could be handed over to a small water hammer of ten kilograms of strength, which was almost one stick of incense, and the whole process was completed.

Next, he re-sharpened the barrel. In the past, craftsmen used the drilling pipe method to make muskets, and they were most troubled by this matter. Even with the help of hydraulic drilling platforms, the scrap rate remained high. The new Master Jiao Yu was obviously not optimistic about the use of rhinestones. He first found a long wooden stool and put the semi-finished barrel on the left half of the stool. Then he put a cold-forged steel drill bit on the right half of the stool. He held the wooden block and bamboo strips and adjusted repeatedly. Through the naked eye, the barrel and drill bit were basically kept coaxial. Then, a leather cable was used to connect an iron wheel with a shaker in the second half of the drill bit. When he shook it with his hands, the drill bit was pushed into the inside of the barrel.

"You, have you made a musket before?" Zhu Bashiyi and his eyes widened larger than cowbells. He took a few steps back and asked in a hoarse voice.

"No!" Jiao Yu focused all his energy on controlling the drill bit process, turning the handwheel hard, responding without raising his head.

"Then, how could I use this thing?!" Zhu Bashiyi couldn't believe it, suppressed the feeling in his heart and asked in a trembling voice.

Horizontal drilling machine and belt transmission. Although both are just a small improvement, no one in the entire Xuzhou city can imagine it. Including Zhu Bashiyi, who integrates the souls of later generations, and Ivanov, whose footprints run through the world, did not expect these two simple techniques.

This is no longer a breakthrough, but a leap. The span of the leap is no less than the standard formula gunpowder brought by primitive black gunpowder to Zhu Bashiyi! The Jiao Yu in front of him looked like a "native" in the late Yuan Dynasty. From his words and deeds to his dressing expression, there was no similarity with him, Zhu Bashiyi, who had two souls.

Just as he was shocked, he heard Jiao Yuman respond casually, "Of course it was taught by his master. The villain is not a hereditary craftsman. When he was a child, he couldn't afford to eat at home, so he sent the villain to be a Taoist priest. As a result, in the Taoist temple, in addition to sweeping the floor, cooking and wiping the table, he was the Taoist priest of the villain!"

"Your master, he, he taught you how to use this drilling machine?" Zhu Bashiyi felt more and more surprised when he heard this. Before he knew it, two lines of cold sweat flowed down his temples.

Everyone stared at Jiao Yu polished the barrel, so no one noticed his incompetence. Jiao Yu, who was obsessed with the work at hand, did not hear the change in his voice of the governor. He lowered his head and responded casually: "He didn't teach me, the villain was watching by himself. He fiddled with these things all day long and had no time to teach me!"

"What is your master's name? Where is his Taoist temple?"

"Back to come back, it seems that this is it. His Taoist temple is on the mountain next to the little man's hometown. It is a very small one. Later, it was broken by lightning and abandoned!"

"Where is your hometown? Where is your master? Where is he now?!" Zhu Bashiyi bit his tongue hard so that he could always stay awake.

Time traveler, the time traveler who is exactly the same as himself. He came many years earlier than him and mastered some basic mechanical manufacturing techniques. Apart from this answer, he could not find any reason to explain the source of the two processes in front of him.

Jiao Yu was obviously a craftsman who was obsessed with mechanical manufacturing. He had no idea where his master came from. He heard Zhu Bashiyi's question, and continued to respond casually, "It's gone! On the day the Taoist temple was struck by lightning, he sent the villain down the mountain to buy things. He walked to the foot of the mountain and suddenly heard a "boom". Looking back, the entire Taoist temple was chopped down, and the flames rose more than three meters high. When the young man called on the adults to go back to save them, the master had already ascended. In the end, he only dug out a lot of scrap copper and iron from the ruins and carried it to the market to sell. Then each family in the village had a little money, and they had a full meal for two or three months!"

As he spoke, Jiao Yu began to shake the handwheel upside down. He pulled the drill bit out of the barrel one by one, then raised the barrel to his eyes and carefully checked the bright spot, "It's almost done grinding it again. The main thing is that the welds have edges, all of which are copper and tin and lead, which are soft and easier to grind than iron."

"I'll come, I'll come, Master Jiao, you take a break first!" Huang Laowai was happy when he saw Lie, so he pushed Jiao Yu away, clamped the semi-finished gun barrel on the original horizontal drilling machine, and shook the handle to continue polishing the internally.

Other craftsmen also squatted down, touching and marveling at the drilling machine and belt-driven hand drill. Instead, they blocked Jiao Yu from the crowd, either standing or leaving, and stretched out their dark big hands to scratch their scalp.

At this moment, Zhu Bashiyi was not interested in continuing to observe how the craftsmen learn to use drill presses? Almost all of his thoughts were on Jiao Yu's dead master, and he smiled weakly, and continued to ask: "Then where did you learn something from your master? Have he left patterns for you? How can he create patterns?!"

"It's gone!" Jiao Yu thought about it and shook his head silly, "It's basically gone. The master has also made a similar waterwheel, just like the ones here. But it's not used by itself, but grinding noodles for the village. There are many large and small flywheels inside. When he ascended, I was still young and didn't know how to repair it. As a result, the waterwheel was broken down shortly afterwards. It was split by the villagers as firewood!"

"Squandering natural resources is definitely a waste of natural resources!" Zhu Bashiyi kept screaming in his heart, wishing he could split Jiao Yu's head and see what useful memories were hidden inside.

There are many water wheels with flying wheels, which are hydraulic machinery driven by multiple gears. At present, there are only three to four gears inside the water wheel in the workshop, and the efficiency and handling are already far behind the common water wheels outside. However, Master Jiao Yu's water wheel actually has more than a dozen or even dozens of gears. How could it be just a hydraulic mill? It is clearly an industrial mother machine!

"Governor, Governor? What's wrong with you? Need, do you need Master Huang to call me?" Seeing that Governor Zhu was about to go crazy, Jiao Yu was stunned and called in a low voice. At this moment, what he was thinking was completely different from Zhu Bashiyi.

When the master died, he was still young. After so many years, his originally very weak relationship with his master and disciple had long been worn down by the years. The only thing he felt was that he was extremely precious in his memory was that in those two years in the Taoist temple, he could have enough food every day and occasionally drink a few sips of the remaining meat soup from his master.

"Oh?!" After all, I have been through life and death several times. Zhu Bashiyi's self-control ability has reached an amazing level. He was stunned for a moment and realized his disobedience. He quickly smiled and shook his head at Jiao Yu, "No, let him mess around. He is like you, and he can't care about anything when he fiddled with his work!"

"Yes, yes!" Jiao Yu smiled and scratched his head a few times, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

"Just say something?! As long as you stay and follow me, you can raise any conditions!" Although you were unable to get more from the other party, Zhu Bashiyi still regarded Jiao Yu as a treasure, smiled and encouraged loudly!

This kind of desire to cherish talent was obviously beyond the entire era. Jiao Yu was so scared that he shivered and quickly waved his hand desperately, "No, I dare not, the little one really dare not! The governor is willing to reward the little one with a bite of food. The little one is too happy, why dare to make a condition with you? That's it."

"What is it? Say! Don't hesitate. After passing this village, there will be no such store!" Zhu Bashiyi often deals with craftsmen and knows the most direct and effective way of communication.

Sure enough, Jiao Yu's mouth became fluent in an instant, and he said at the speed of a continuous arrow, "Then, what the governor said just now, "Feng Xiaoren is the big thing, the great craftsman."

"If you can't remember what you should remember, just remember this!" Zhu Bashiyi was both angry and funny. He reached out and patted the other party's shoulder hard, and promised loudly, "Finish! Master, the deputy manager of the workshop. When Huang Laowai was away, you will be the final decision here!"

After saying that, he looked at Jiao Yu who was stunned and patted him on the shoulder again, and added loudly: "In the future, you will be responsible for the matter of muskets and artillery. I will explain to Huang Laowai now. I want people to give them money and money. Let him support you with all his strength!"

Note 1: At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was obviously an amazing leap period in China's firearm manufacturing. The author cannot verify what caused this leap, so he simply attributed it to the aftermath brought by time travelers. Of course, this is the saying of the novelist, which makes everyone laugh!
