Chapter 342: The Military Kingdom Comes Out Of Artifacts, Bai Yufeng Di Ming
When Lu Xiu turned all the way to the Muzu Workshop, he found that there were many people surrounding the workshop yard, and there were also chaotic discussions from afar.
When Lu Xiu entered, he saw his boss coming, and the people immediately stopped the voice and stood on both sides.
When Lu Xiu walked to the door of the house, he found that his three young prisoners, even Shen Mo, were now in the hall.
In the spacious hall, a strange machine is now standing.
Two carpenters were sitting on a strange bench, pedaling the two pedals under their feet one after another. As their feet moved, a wide cowhide strap on the central axis of the pedal led to a huge wheel buzzing.
The central axis where the big wheel was rotating rapidly was led to another machine.
When Lu Xiu came to the front and saw that the machine was like a huge table. Now a thin birch strip was sandwiched on both ends and turning rapidly.
Inside the young supervisor Shen was pushing a printing bed placed on a wooden guide rail, and a flat-headed chisel was fixed on the printing bed.
Shen Mo pushed from front to back with his hands, and with a "brush!", he swept across the rapidly rotating wooden strip.
I saw that there were instant wood chips flying above the wooden strip!
Then Shen Mo moved a wrench and the rotating wooden strip stopped. The two craftsmen who were pedaling quickly like arrows on their butts also took the opportunity to slow down the speed under their feet.
When Shen Mo took the wooden strip off the shelf, Lu Xiu realized that the two ends of the wooden strip were still square and square, but the two feet long section in the middle had become a round rod as thick as a woman's little finger, round and straight.
Shen Mo looked at the round pole in his hand, and then he looked up and saw Lu Xiu enter the hall. So Shen Mo handed the round pole to Lu Xiu's hand.
Lu Xiu held the round stick in his hand, and then he saw Shen Mo clamp another birch strip on the chuck again, then closed the wrench again, and the thin strip turned wildly again.
Then he saw Shen Mo doing it again just like he had just now. As he pushed the machine on the guide rail from left to right, the chisel fixed on it quickly cut the wooden pole into a thin cylinder.
This time, Shen Mo did not rush to remove it, but approached the log pole with a grinding stone. He heard the wood pole rubbing against each other with a high-speed rotation, making a brushing sound.
Soon, the wooden pole became smooth from left to right at a rapid speed.
"Is this...arrow shaft?" Lu Xiu looked at the wooden pole in his hand. He was surprised to find that the cylinder was not bent at all from beginning to end, but was so straight that it was unbelievable!
"Yes!" At this time, Lu Tieyan smiled beside Lu Xiu, "The machine made by Young Master Chen is really amazing! The arrow shaft is straight and smooth, and it is so fast that it is scary!"
"How much can I do?" When Lu Xiu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he grabbed the clothes on Lu Tie's shoulders and arms!
"About one hundred and twenty...three craftsmen in one hour."
"One Hundred and Twenty Rods? One hour?" Lu Xiu's eyes were staring like a copper bell at this time, and even the sound of his speech trembled: "So fast?"
When Lu Xiu just said this, he heard the sound of the machine beside him and suddenly stopped.
"I guess it will be faster after the operation becomes proficient." Shen Mo handed over several arrow shafts that had just been in the car.
Then, he smiled beside Lucio and said, "Three craftsmen? Can they use craftsmen to do this? A dog can make a piece of cake on it!"
When Shen Mo said this, everyone around him laughed. Even the two workers who were pedaling the wheels who had just come down from the bench laughed.
Although Shen Mo's words just now were not very nice, he said himself. "Improve it, it should be faster." Shen Mo continued to say to Lu Xiu: "The arrow shaft is so thin, there is actually no resistance. As long as the knife is fast enough, it doesn't require much force when rotating. So the power part... I'm talking about the side where the wheel is pedaled, as long as there is one person
You can bring it up."
"In this case, two people will switch shifts, and it will be fine if they have about a thousand arrow shafts a day."
"My God! My Young Master Shen!" Hearing Shen Mo's conversation, Lu Xiu's goatee trembled!
He grabbed Shen Mo and pulled him aside and looked up and down: "Did you make this machine?"
"Yes!" Shen Mo nodded with a smile: "I did this when I was free, so I would not let some people say that I was doing nothing and would not do anything here..."
"With this thing, it doesn't matter if you don't work for the rest of your life!" Lu Xiu played with the arrow shaft in his hand and smiled so hard that he narrowed his eyes into a slit!
To be honest, it is no wonder that Lu Xiu was so happy. In the Southern Song Dynasty, although handicrafts were extremely developed, in terms of military weapons production, the first thing to do is to meet the quantity and quality. This really made these officials who made weapons very worried.
Especially for things like arrow branches, you don’t even need to check if you know the knowledgeable person. Even an outsider can tell the quality of a batch of arrow branches at a glance. Just check whether the arrow shaft is cut straight or not.
Because in this era, it was so difficult to make a straight arrow shaft! In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were two types of arrow shafts used in the army. Needless to mention bamboo, choose straight and slender arrow bamboos, cut them down and trim them. Although these arrow bamboos look straight, you actually have to pick out a perfectly straight arrow from it.
The pole is simply impossible.
In this world, even two identical leaves cannot be found. Where can I find a pen to a standard level of things that grow naturally?
As for the wooden arrow shaft, it is hand-processed by carpenters using planes and other tools. However, due to tools, raw materials, and technical reasons, it is extremely difficult to make these arrow shafts straight.
