The drawings are ready-made. The first step is of course to make a sample of wood, and then to develop them according to various parts. There are many difficulties, and just sealing a qualified boiler is a big difficulty.

There was nothing important during this period. Wu Songsau worked with craftsmen in the laboratory to develop boilers, pipelines, gears, connecting rods, and pistons. None of them was worry-free. Compared with steam engines, the water trucks produced in the past could not be called machinery. The steam engine was huge in size and had low technical requirements, so it needed a supporting boiler as a power source. The steam engine had a bottom conversion capacity, high noise and high pollution. However, it was the first truly cross-age machine. With it, the steam ship could not rely on sails, and the navigation ability was greatly improved. With it, it could provide power for the industry. Before there was a steam engine, it could only be called a workshop, and after the steam engine, it could be called a factory.

The steam engine public relations team, led by Ma Jun, began to study steam engines in the secret workshop. Although Wu Song was based on Wu Song's drawings, it was still full of difficulties. On that day, Wu Song came out of the training headquarters of Tongda Cars, Luo Ping prepared horses, Wu Songdao, let's go to the machinery workshop again.

Ma Jundao, Bao Zheng came here and was still studying steam engines today.

Wu Song said, I have too many things to do every day, so I can only be responsible for the general direction. Today I am here to see the production of the Short Dragon Musket.

Wu Song's cousin Liu Dachui was responsible for the production of muskets. The production workshop was divided into several places, and the accessories were standardized. After the craftsmen completed the production, they were assembled in the underground secret room.

The lord is here, Liu Dachui said.

Wu Song said, how to produce many finished products?

After the adults used the test items, the workshop made improvements and thickened the thickness of the gun hall. With the length not changing, it has lethality of eighty meters and has the ability to pierce armor for fifty meters. Now 300 finished products have been produced, and qualified craftsmen have been cultivated, and 300 can be produced every month in the future.

Wu Song said, then produce at this speed, just don’t assemble it, and assemble it when it needs to be used separately.

Liu Dachui said he understood and arranged for craftsmen to continue production.

Wu Song took people to extract 300 short dragon muskets and returned to the training headquarters and invited Teacher Wang over. Teacher Wang was unable to go out for work due to his identity and has been responsible for riding and shooting training. He taught Chen Da and Yang Chun some time ago. These days, he came to train Guo Sheng and Niu Gao again. Their talents and foundations are much better than Yang Chun and Chen Da. Teacher Wang likes them very much and teaches them with care.

Wu Song said, Teacher Wang, are you still used to the life in Qinghe County? Just say what you need in life.

Wang Jin smiled and said, "Sir, you are too polite, your life is so good, your food is higher than that of the Imperial Guards, and I am all fat."

Wu Song found a famous doctor to stabilize Wang Jinniang's condition and was very grateful to Wu Song. Wu Song chatted for a while and asked Wang Jin to go back to train the soldiers.

He also asked Guo Sheng and Niu Gao to take ten cavalry guards out for hunting. Niu Gao took the bow and arrow and rode a dark horse, saying, "Brother, why did you suddenly remember to hunt?"

Wu Song said that the wild boars in the wild boar ditch have improved a lot last year, and there have been more recently, so we go hunting once. First, we will get some wild game and fill in some meat for our brothers, and second, we will test our new weapons. The new weapons are absolutely confidential and are not allowed to be said inside and outside.

Okay, I am hunting. Wu Song, Jiao Ting, Niu Gao, Guo Sheng and ten guards rushed to the Wild Boar Gate. There is little food in the mountains in winter, and the wild boars use grass roots and wild fruits as their food.

The wild boars started running around when there was insufficient food, and sometimes even went into the village to hurt people. The group saw wild boars as soon as they entered the valley.

Wu Song took two short dragon muskets, Niu Gao and Guo Sheng each of them, and Wu Song taught how to use them. Niu Gao was brave enough to carry the musket and rode his horse and rushed over. The wild boar in the wild boar ditch was not afraid of people. Niu Gao fired his gun at the distance of thirty meters, and he slammed it.

Niu Gao paused immediately and said, "What a lot of effort."

Seeing the big wild boar that was more than 200 pounds falling to the ground, Niu Gao was overjoyed and turned over and got off the horse and carried the mature copper mace.

Who knew that the wild boar turned over and got up again, and rushed towards Niu Gao with red eyes. Niu Gao hit the wild boar head with a mace and brought the wild boar down. Niu Gao dragged the wild boar over and handed over to Wu Song.

"This musket has such a great strength that it knocked down the wild boar in an instant."

Wu Song said: "Okay, Brother Niu Gao is good at it."

As for Guo Sheng who tried this kind of musket when he was fighting tigers in Badong, Wu Song said: "You are all cavalry. If you first magnify the Black Hawk crossbow arrows when charging on the battlefield, and then hang the crossbow and fire the musket, what will you think?"

Niu Gao said: "It's still a question, it must be awesome. Although the range of crossbow arrows is long, their accuracy is poor, and they are far less lethal than that of a musket. I'm sure that the enemy soldiers who fire within 80 meters will definitely have no combat power, because human tolerance is much worse than that of a wild boar."

Wu Song said: "You two will learn the skills from Teacher Wang for another three months. I will transfer you out to train a single musket cavalry."

"Okay, brother, don't worry, I will definitely study hard." The two said.

The power of the short dragon musket is still great, and only when the weapons are on the battlefield can they be exerted. Wu Song immediately sent the first batch of 300 muskets to Danluo Island.

It was about to spring, and Ruan Xiaoqi's first fleet, far away on Danluo Island, returned for vacation, but the second fleet led by Tang Bin had to stay on duty.

As the merchant ship arrived, the dock was boiling, and the postman from Tongda Big Cart Store put the big bags of letters and packages on the dock, shouting: "I'm coming from my hometown."

Most of the families of the 1,000 guards led by Zhang Lang are in Jeju, Dongping Prefecture, Yizhou Prefecture, and Qingzhou Prefecture, and most of them have letters.

After discussing with Tang Bin, Zhang Lang and Tang Bin said, "The first fleet has left, the second fleet has only eight warships and three hundred people. It is easy to relax when people see the elderly. We must step up our precautions. The Zheng family in Fujian is a caravan that claims to have tens of thousands of sea ships."

Zhang Lang said: "This is the reason. My brother has equipped our guard team with 300 new muskets, which happens to be trained by patrol. Danluo Island is too big after all, and we don't know where their fleet secretly got ashore."

It is better to be a thief for a thousand days than to be a thief for a thousand days. The current situation is to be a thief for a thousand days, guard against the Zheng family to attack and patrol all day long.

There are only eight warships, and they are patrolling in rotation every day to ensure the safety of the port.

On the shore, Zhang Lang divided a thousand people into three teams and also took turns patrolling and duty. Danluo Island was too large, so Zhang Lang patrolled mainly about ten miles away from the port.

Early that morning, Zhang Lang led the 300 musket guards to patrol the sky with muskets and knives. Suddenly, the sharp-eyed guard said, "Look, there are Japanese pirates over there, a group of Japanese pirates."

When Zhang Lang saw it, he was shocked. There were hundreds of people, one by one, holding long swords, and like monkeys, jumping over.
