Chapter 1142

"Every part is of the same size, and the biggest difference will not be as different as two lines, which is two-tenths of a millimeter you mentioned." Zhao Ji picked up a few parts, put them together, and then took a vernier caliper made of steel from the side and handed it to Wang Yang.

Wang Yang took the vernier caliper, looked at the neatly etched centimeters and millimeters on it, and nodded with satisfaction. "It seems that your highness, you have done a lot of work in the past few years."

The so-called one-line and two-line lines refer to one millimeter of zero point and two millimeter of zero point. Nowadays, the smallest unit of measurement is the cotton thread produced by Shaanxi North Road.

Ten cotton threads are arranged side by side as one millimeter, and ten millimeters are one centimeter. This is the unit of length measurement used by craftsmen formulated by Wang Daguanren.

The difference between these parts of finger thickness is indeed as Zhao Ji said, and the difference is only between one or two lines.

"Sir, jokingly, many of the things Xiao Wang did were because of your tips. For example, this vernier caliper was already available at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, for some reason, such a measuring tool disappeared for hundreds of years."

"There is also the machine tool you designed. If there is no such thing, if we use hand-polish these parts, it is probably a sophisticated craftsman who will take several days to do this."

"It is precisely with machine tools that the screws that can be produced by each machine tool every day are calculated in a thousand pieces." Zhao Ji raised his hand and pointed to the machine tool not far away and smiled.

Wang Yang walked over. These machine tools are more like improved versions of human-trapping sewing machines than machine tools.

Sewing machines are used to sew clothes, but now they are used to make small parts. As for large parts, there are several hydraulic machine tools next to them, which are specially designed to cut and make large metal parts.

In Wang Yang's eyes, whether it is the Yuanyou crossbow or the Yuanyou stone throwing machine, even if these things are taken into the hands of the enemy country and copied, Wang Yang would not feel much distressed.

What he was most worried about was that these machine tools and machine tools were the important structural parts of the machinery industry in Wang Daguanren’s mind. This thing is a machine specially used for making machines.

That is, the working master machine or tool machine. Using manpower or hydraulic power can not only be used to make screws, gear processing, or internal grinding... it can also process and cut various metals. Future artillery also requires the help of this mechanical.

Machine tool technology is the fundamental and core technology that the Song Dynasty has been able to surpass its surrounding countries.

"Don't worry, sir, no one of these things will be left out. Every tool has a code, and even the names of these users are engraved."

"In addition, outsiders are absolutely not allowed to enter and exit this military weapon workshop. All daily necessities will be handed over to the imperial guards to directly send them to the workshop city and then distributed as needed...

In less than a year of construction, the fine works that died inside and outside the city have exceeded one hundred..."

With Zhao Ji's explanation, Wang Yang nodded frequently. This small city less than two miles in radius actually used 5,000 elite imperial guards to guard it. Such careful arrangement and strict vigilance were enough to prove the emperor's attention to these things.

Every yard in the city has different divisions of labor. In this way, the losses caused to the Song Dynasty by the craftsmen who escaped were at least only one point, not the entire surface.

For example, these craftsmen who use machine tools are only responsible for using, while others are responsible for making and repairing machine tools. The four sides of each machine tool are tightly sealed with iron plates. Only after the work of the craftsmen are completed will the person responsible for maintaining the machine tools enter the site for maintenance and repair.

Each step is refined as much as possible, so that these craftsmen are becoming more and more sophisticated about the work they are doing, but at the same time, they are unable to fully grasp the entire process and structure.

I visited another workshop, and the heat was so hot that the sound of rumbling was deafening. With the greeting of a foreman, a furnace of molten iron slowly poured into the mold that had been prepared long ago, and then the wire drawing process began.

Watching the steel wires being squeezed out of the horizontal tool, rolled them onto a round iron casting, and then undergoing a secondary process until finally, they become steel springs with a finger thickness that are very close to the size and diameter.

"This is the shock absorbing spring used on the bed crossbow. With this object, our bed crossbow no longer uses wooden crossbow arms, but is like a Yuanyou crossbow, and is directly made with mild steel."

"But this way, the consumption of steel is too amazing, so it is mainly used for experiments at present. Only a small amount of steel crossbows were made..." Zhao Ji picked up a heavy spring with some regret, picked it up in his hand, and slowly put it back.

These made springs made Wang Yang lit up, and he also went up to pick up a spring weighing several pounds. It was really hard. Unexpectedly, these guys actually made it.

"Have you considered using it on other machinery?" Wang Yang turned his head and asked the craftsman beside him. He learned that the load-bearing limit of such a spring can reach three to four thousand kilograms. However, the durability of this spring is not yet clear.

However, the appearance of this thing made Wang Yang think of many uses, such as the current self-ringing bell, the carriage, and it is also used on various machinery and machine tools...

"Can this thing be used in other places?" Zhao Ji couldn't help but look at Wang Yang in surprise.

"Of course, and the demand for this thing will be very large. It will be a huge business..." Wang Yang smiled and played with the spring, the light in his eyes was unsightly.

Seeing Wang Yang's appearance, Zhao Ji couldn't help but lit up. "Really?"

"Of course it's true, and this business is a business that is many times bigger than the press..." Wang Yang lowered his voice and muttered in a low voice in Zhao Ji's ear.

After hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but take a breath. With the press library, even if he didn't have many shares, almost all of them would be paid to the preacher. However, with the profit there, he had accumulated more than one million chunks of huge capital in just a few years.

Now that he heard Wang Yang's words, he naturally made Zhao Ji's turbulent heart so itchy that it was unbearable. But after seeing Wang Yang throw the spring there and slap the butt to see other things, he could only help himself.
