Chapter 222 Ma Jun's Invention(1/2)

After a few days of rest, Qin Qi went to Ma Jun's workshop to see what toys Ma Jun had come up with during this period.

babble!

Jenny machine!

Sixteen-axis Jenny machine!

Qin Qi was extremely surprised!

I thought I could tell Ma Jun a theory, but no matter what Ma Jun did, it would take him a long time to figure it out.

Unexpected!

It only took a few months to complete it. He is worthy of being a famous inventor with a talent for machinery.

Impressed.

"Deheng, this Jenny machine, no, it should be called Majun machine. Majun textile machine can be mass-produced."

Qin Qi said.

ah!

"My lord, isn't this bad? My lord told me the principle, how can it be called Ma Jun Textile Machine?"

Ma Jun said.

"It's called Majun loom. Once we produce some, we can set up a waterwheel on the riverside to drive the Majun loom.

In this way, not only will physical strength be saved, but the efficiency will be greatly improved, and the quality of the cloth weaved will be better."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, I will arrange the delivery immediately."

Ma Jun said.

"Deheng, the textile machine now has sixteen shafts. We can continue to research in the future and develop Majun textile machines with twenty-four shafts, thirty-six shafts, and forty-eight shafts. Then the efficiency can be improved."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, I have tested it and found that the waterwheel cannot drive more than sixteen axes, unless the water flow is very fast."

Ma Jun said.

oh!

Qin Qi nodded.

Ma Jun is right, there are too many axles and water power cannot drive them.

"Lord, the Qin crossbow has been made. However, it can only fire one crossbow arrow. We are currently studying how to fire ten crossbow bolts at once. It will take some time."

Ma Jun said.

oh!

"Let's go! Go visit."

Qin Qi said.

Damn it!

Too big!

It’s inconvenient to move around!

It can only be placed on the city wall, which is good for defense.

There are some problems when it comes to field combat.

"Deheng, what is the range of this Qin crossbow?"

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, the effective range is 800 steps."

Ma Jun said.

800 steps!

Qin Qi was severely shocked.

More than 300 meters!

"Deheng, if we only need an effective range of 500 or 300 steps, can we make the Qin Nu smaller?"

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, you can definitely do it. However, this Qin Nu still has some shortcomings. If you add these accessories,

If you replace it with iron products, the durability will be greatly improved. But in that case, the size will be smaller, but the weight will still be heavy."

Ma Jun said.

"Deheng, can you install a few wheels on the Qinnu so that it can be used in the field more conveniently?"

Qin Qi said.

Ma Jun was slightly startled!

"Thank you, lord. What you said makes sense. Qin Nu can be made into a carriage, which will make it easier to move around."

Ma Jun said.

"My lord, the four-wheeled carriage you mentioned is still not available."

Ma Jun said.

"What's the problem?"

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, there is a steering problem. No matter what we do, the steering gear cannot withstand it and will break down in a few days."

Qin Qi nodded.

"Deheng, let me solve the problem of the steering gear. The next step is to vigorously produce four-wheeled carriages.

We can also produce some parts for external sales. The four-wheeled carriages for external sales can be made more luxurious.

Carve the family emblem on it. The sales price can be set at a sky-high price, and the sales target is wealthy families.

Those people have money. First make one and put it outside for people to see. What’s the price? One thousand taels of silver."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, I have recorded my humble duty."

Ma Jun said.

"Deheng, do you understand the warship drawings I brought back?"

Qin Qi said.

The Time and Space Trading Company recruited two naval ship designers to not only improve the five-masted and seven-masted warships of the Ming Dynasty.

Two types of sea ships were also specially designed, one is a transport ship and the other is an attack warship.

"My lord, how long has it been since you visited the shipyard? Those two types of ships are now in mass production.

In particular, thousands of craftsmen came from Xiangyang, and the shipbuilding capacity was greatly improved. Even the production volume of the blacksmithing workshop under the supervision of Ou Yeche has doubled."

Ma Jun said.

oh!

"Is the recruitment of craftsmen still in progress?"

Qin Qi said.

"Stop."

Ma Jun said.

"Deheng, we can't stop. We still have too few outstanding craftsmen. We have to build many industries and need a large number of craftsmen. We will continue to recruit for this matter."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, the expenses for craftsmen are quite high. I'm afraid we won't be able to support it if we recruit more."

Ma Jun said.

"Don't worry about money, produce something, and once it is sold, you will get a lot of gold and silver.

Just like we produce kitchen knives, axes, sickles, hoes, pots, water boilers, etc. that the people need,

Although the price is low, it solves the suffering of the people. In any case, we still make a profit.

It’s just how much. Products for the common people cannot make too much, and must make small profits but quick turnover; for luxury goods used by wealthy people,

We can set the price higher. We don’t have to blame ourselves if we prey on the rich.”

Qin Qi said.
