Chapter 461 The assembly line of the Armament Supervision Jiafang Department
Chapter 461
When Wang Yang came to the Jiafang Office to preside over the work, the first thing he did was to carefully sort out the entire Jiafang Office's work process.
I silently recorded everything I felt needed to improve, and spent two days thinking about how to improve the work efficiency of the entire Afang Office.
The military weapon supervisor has a very good location. It is located on a branch of the Bian River outside Bianliang City. It has abundant water. What’s important is that it happens to be surrounded by two mounds.
On the banks of the river alone, more than fifty water wheels stood up to help smel and forge. However, these water wheels were all pure wood from the past, and there was almost no metal water wheel structure.
Therefore, wear and tear can easily cause these pure wood waterwheels to strike. As for those smelting furnaces, in the past, they could only smelp pig iron, and then use pig iron to fry the iron process to obtain cooked iron.
On the third day, under Wang Yang's instructions, one-third of the craftsmen in the Jiafang Bureau stopped their work, put out the stove beside them, and turned off the hair dryer.
Because Wang Dacaizi wanted to carry out comprehensive innovation and transformation of the entire Afang Office. The reason why only one-third of the craftsmen stopped their work was mainly because the previous armor making was not completed and needed to be finished.
There are more than 3,500 craftsmen in these third, and a group of more than 500 experienced and strong learning ability were drawn from them.
More than a hundred craftsmen were appointed to the Wu family smelting workshop to learn the Yuanyou steelmaking, Yuanyou coking technique and the production process of the Song Dynasty Yuanyou armor that Wang Yang invented and created. It is to improve or transform the water wheel, smelting furnace, and smelting tools.
More than 3,000 craftsmen who instantly became idle began to build a vigorous construction work.
Although many craftsmen did not understand Wang Yang's approach, the problem is that in the face of this dignified seventh-rank official appointed by the court, their opposition had no effect at all.
The original dozen iron smelting furnaces did not move, but nearly twenty smelting furnaces were erected next to them. The set of smelting tools we had in the Wu family smelting workshop were not only copied in total, but Wang Yang also carefully divided the work of these more than 3,000 craftsmen.
In the past, almost all the craftsmen of the Afang Office were forging iron armor. Now, Wang Yang asked the Zhang Office to distinguish the craftsmen in the Afang Office. One fifth of them were responsible for the future coal preparation and coking work, and one fifth was responsible for the crushing of iron ore and mine dressing work.
One-fifth is responsible for the smelting of pig iron and tong pots, mainly producing suitable forged nail sheets and producing wire drawing products.
One fifth is responsible for the forging and post-heat treatment of steel armor sheets, and one fifth is responsible for the production of steel wire chain armor technology and assembly of iron armor.
In addition, Wang Yang went to ask the imperial guards and found the old generals who were squatting in the court to support their elderly people carefully. After asking carefully, he found several representative soldiers, measured their figures, and then adjusted the universality and flexibility of the armor to a certain extent.
In this way, the Song and Yuan dynasties will be divided into two models, large and medium, and each model can meet the wear of soldiers with a height difference of 20 cm.
In other words, the large armor can meet the needs of soldiers from 19 to 1.7 meters, while the medium-sized ones fully meet the needs of 1.8 to 1.6 meters. Because the Song Dynasty's requirements for soldiers were at least 1.6 meters.
Even if there are soldiers who are really more than two meters tall, they can still obtain satisfactory and strong armor by increasing or decreasing the chain armor ring.
The power of the country is obviously not comparable to individuals and collective enterprises. In less than five days, the blast furnace needed for steelmaking of twenty-seater tong pots was rushing away.
The coking chamber has also been completed. After experimental production, it is expected that thirty large coking chambers can provide more than 60,000 kilograms of coking coal every day when coking in three batches in turn.
The water trucks on the iron ore mining area can be transformed and if you work overtime every day, you can provide more than 100,000 kilograms of iron powder.
The size and shape of the newly built blast furnace is almost the same as that of the Wu family smelting workshop. It is expected that a blast furnace can produce 3,000 kilograms of steel for a daily tongs and pot.
However, Wang Yang was not satisfied with the fact that it took fifteen to twenty craftsmen at that time to produce two pairs of Song and Yuan dynasties.
Because at that time, he only thought of something and started preparing and then doing it again. But now, what Wang Yang needs is to be able to produce the best quality and cheap Song and Yuan Youjia at the fastest speed.
Therefore, Wang Yang decided to adopt the most common and classic method in later generations: assembly line production.
For example, the craftsmen responsible for producing forging nail sheets will be divided into several groups, one group is responsible for forging and forming the nail sheets, another group is responsible for cutting the nail sheets, the next group is responsible for quenching the nail sheets, and another group is responsible for polishing the nail sheets, and another group is responsible for drilling the polished nail sheets.
The forging group has a water hammer forging press, and the cutting group has a hydraulic cutting machine. There are clear regulations on the carburizing time of each piece of nail in the quenching group. The grinding group uses the same hydraulic grinding machine to polish the nail.
The armor-piece drilling machine is a manual machine tool similar to a sewing machine that Wang Yang had made before. With the help of these various machinery, it takes no more than one and a half hours from the first group to get the armor-piece until the last group completes the polished armor-piece drilling operation.
Then it is handed over to the next work workshop, that is, the assembly workshop. There are not many processes in the assembly workshop. It is to assemble the chain armor brought from another chain armor workshop with the iron armor piece. Assembling a whole armor takes about three and a half hours, which means that the two craftsmen can assemble a pair of Song Yuanyou armor every day.
"From the production of tong pot steel, once the process of arthroplasty and chain armor is divided, it will be until the assembly of the Yuan and Yuan dynasties of the Song Dynasty.
In fact, it only takes eleven hours, and in this large-scale assembly line operation, the production of pliers steel only requires twenty people, and you can produce pliers steel every day with 3,000 kilograms of pliers steel..."
Listening to Wang Yang talking there, the military weapon supervisor Lu Jianqing looked at the account book or report in his hand in a daze.
The labor, materials and time required for each process inside are so detailed that it is outrageous.
"This report is really detailed, huh..." Although it was very detailed, it also made the knowledgeable Lu Jianqing look dizzy. After putting down the thick report in disappointment, Lu Jianqing's eyes fell on Wang Yang again.
