Chapter 109: Leisure time is hard to relax
Paul Korchagin once said that the most precious thing for a person is life. Life is only once for a person. Therefore, a person's life should be spent like this: when a person looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years.
Don't be ashamed of being inactive.
In this way, when he was dying, he could say that I devoted my whole life and all my energy to the most precious cause in life - fighting for the liberation of mankind.
Of course Wang Sheng does not have the ideal of liberating all mankind, but he also knows that for him, time is also very precious.
Therefore, during the ten days of leave given to him by Emperor Sima Yu, Wang Sheng did not take any time off, nor did he plan to take any time off.
After bidding farewell to King Changshan, Wang Sheng secretly left Jingu Garden and headed towards Mangshan Villa.
Although the photo studio is in Jingu Garden, Wang Sheng's testing ground is in Mangshan Villa.
After riding in the chariot for two hours, Wang Sheng arrived outside Mangshan Villa.
Mangshan Villa is at the foot of Mangshan Mountain. The terrain is relatively higher than that of Luoyang, so the snow is thicker.
Looking from a distance, it doesn't look like a manor, but more like a village hidden by the wind and snow.
There are still people in Mangshan Villa.
It is still used to train soldiers.
But the target of this soldier has changed.
Most of the people inside are young, the oldest is only ten years old, and the youngest may be only seven or eight years old.
These were orphans left homeless after some natural or man-made disasters, so Wang Sheng took them in.
The purpose is not to open a charity hall, but to train people to die.
There are not many people either.
Just a hundred people.
However, this is a long-term investment, and Wang Sheng will not need it in the short term.
At least, it will take three years for the first batch of dead soldiers to come out.
If half of these hundred people become dead soldiers in the end, Wang Sheng will be satisfied.
Of course, Wang Sheng will also fill in the number appropriately later.
Death warriors, Wang Sheng still needs to have some.
Not only because they are loyal, but also because they have some special uses.
When training death warriors, Wang Sheng also specifically looked for anyone who looked similar to him.
It's a pity that this kind of thing is something that can only be encountered but not sought. If Wang Sheng didn't encounter it, there was nothing he could do.
Perhaps just as there are no identical leaves in the world, there is no one who looks similar to him in the world.
If there is a shadow, that is of course the best thing.
Wang Sheng shook his head gently and threw away these thoughts.
At this time, the sun has reached the top of the head, which is the warmest time of the day.
But even so, the wind blowing was still chilly.
Especially the cold wind blowing from the crevices of Mang Mountain, that feeling is called a refreshing feeling.
After entering Mangshan Villa, Wang Sheng walked straight to his workshop.
Wang Sheng's confidants were all defending Mangshan Villa, and now they are always guarded by Zhao Zhuang.
There are a lot of equipment in the workshop.
It is a pity that with the technology of this era, it is difficult to make glass. Otherwise, more creations can be made.
After all, Mr. Wang did not graduate from an engineering major. He was already above his level in making gunpowder. As for making other things, it would be even more difficult.
Moreover, Wang Sheng has always wanted to create a flintlock gun. If there was a flintlock gun in this era, it would be like a bug.
But it is not easy to make a flintlock gun.
In fact, thermal weapons are either impossible to make, or the difference between them is quite large. Wang Sheng remembered that there was a very old European program on hand-made rifled flintlock guns on a certain website. Simple production does not require so many appearance craftsmanship, and does not count the man-hours required.
There are too many. The few difficulties are forging the barrel, rifling, and making the flint ignition device. The other difficulties are not too difficult.
This is why Wang Sheng thinks he can do it.
But the so-called brain has learned it, and you only know it when you get started.
Learn shit!
Wang Sheng specially hired a blacksmith, but the accuracy of the things he made was never high enough.
Wang Sheng was afraid that this kind of flintlock gun would explode immediately after being used.
The enemy did not kill him, but committed suicide first.
Forging barrels, rifling, and making flint ignition devices.
How to solve these three difficulties?
Wang Sheng did know that gun barrels are now directly drilled instead of cast.
Because this involves process issues, if the casting mold turns into water, it will easily be doped with elements in the air. In addition, there will be bubbling, which will affect the quality of the cast barrel. Moreover, modern barrels are made of alloys.
, melting into water requires controlling difficulties, this is the first.
The second is that the precision of the gun barrel made from the mold is not as high as that of the iron rod. Just one problem with the gun will destroy its accuracy.
There is another reason and the third reason, which is the rifling problem.
The actual purpose of rifling is to improve the accuracy and range of the gun. Using iron pipes to penetrate the gun can improve the precision of the rifling.
It is difficult to cast Wang Sheng, let alone using drilling technology.
That requires an industrial system.
Wang Sheng thought hard about this problem.
At this time, how much he wished that he had graduated from an engineering major. If he were an engineering major, then his hands-on ability would probably be much stronger.
It's a pity that I am a liberal arts student.
Hey~
Wang Sheng sighed softly.
It seems that the gun barrel issue needs to be solved in another way.
Not to mention that there are no molds for gun barrels now. Even if there are molds, the things made will be useless.
To mass-produce something, you must have a complete assembly line.
too difficult.
As for Wang Sheng's desire to make glass, he was at his wits' end.
Not to mention that the preparation of sodium carbonate involves Hou's alkali production method, the preparation of lime is also a problem.
It is too difficult to create industrial products that surpass this world in a world with no industrial foundation at all.
It can be said that the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
What is most consistent with the historical development trajectory should be to improve the mode of production and release powerful productivity, thereby promoting the development of capital and thus the development of science and technology.
but...
Not to mention the insufficient population in this era, even if the population was sufficient, without things like steam engines, there would be no way for productivity to develop to a sufficient level for industrialization.
For something like a steam engine, at least someone needs to come up with the concept. There must be a method first, and then the object.
These are not things that can be accomplished in a short time.
It was dusk while playing with the flintlock at Mangshan Villa.
Wang Sheng finally had a finished flintlock gun in his hands.
But Wang Sheng didn't dare to attack.
The risk of explosion is really too high.
Getting something done is by no means an easy thing.
Fortunately, Wang Sheng still has time.
Although the contradiction between the King of Qi and the Emperor is becoming increasingly apparent, it is not easy to break out.
The emperor wanted to launch an attack on King Qi after the spring plowing.
But if the King of Qi had no leverage in the Emperor's hands, how could the Emperor dare to send troops?
Although it is true that if the king wants his minister to die, he will have to die.
but...
There is one premise, and that is that you, the emperor, keep your word.
The current Sima Yu obviously cannot reach this level.
As the scorching sun set in the west, Wang Sheng got on the chariot and headed towards the Taoliu Garden.
He brought many people here and was not afraid of being ambushed.
In addition, he should be the target of all parties' efforts now, so it would be foolish to attack him.
Chapter completed!
