Wang Debang looked like he was offering treasures and pointed at a drill rig next to him. There was a sinker and a steel drill bit on the machine, which could fix the barrel and then use the sinker to drive the steel head to drill the barrel. It will only be paused when the barrel is overheated, and the drill bit needs to be replaced. However, no matter how many defects there are, this drill rig can drill out the barrel extremely efficiently, which also saves a lot of manpower and time.
Drilling the barrel is really a labor-intensive, time-consuming and meaningless job. Other jobs can also train the abilities of novices. This kind of job will only consume the enthusiasm and confidence of novices. No one is willing to compete with a mature iron pipe from morning to night.
"Congratulations sir."
"Congratulations to you, sir."
"Congratulations to Director Wang, too."
Congratulations were heard everywhere, and everyone's face was filled with a heartfelt smile.
Zhang Han felt sincere joy and heartfelt support from these people's faces. He also knew that these people were happy for rewards, and also for the collective honor and achievements.
Some things are not good without money, but not everything is available for money.
Zhang Han said: "Wang Debang will be rewarded 100 taels this time. He is the host of the technical team. Although he is a collective force, he is the main person in charge. Of course, he deserves the reward. u▂▂▄8 small ▇net▅"
"Technical team members can choose to hold patents, and will give corresponding rewards for every machine they ship in the future, or receive a one-time patent buyout reward. Of course, the reward is also generous, and will not be under the first technological breakthrough of Wang Debang."
Speaking of the first technological breakthrough, Wang Debang's face was a little unnatural.
The flints are now said to be able to use them, and the firing rate is not low, with an effective range of 60 to 80 steps, and with the sightseeing sight, the shooting success rate has also increased, but there is still a long way to go from the standard standard set required by Zhang Han.
The slight changes in many machine springs will cause the entire gun to undergo technical deformation, and then it will have to start over. The Firearms Bureau has not made any breakthroughs in the research of rolling mills and punches. The main reason is that Wang Debang placed the main technicians in the research group of the flint rifle.
Zhang Han did not ask much about the previous situation. In fact, he was still too anxious. His current achievements were mainly attributed to Li Dongxue.
Wang Debang was rewarded again, but Yang Hegao and Chen Yaozong were not envious and jealous, and their eyes were full of pride. By comparison, Li Changnian was a little lonely.
This time Li Dongxue stepped forward and said, "Sir, there is also a breakthrough in the weapons and armored battles."
Zhang Han said: "Why did I come here? It seems that I will come here often in the future. ▇▂▇▃▇.=."
Li Dongxue smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. I have already planned to invite the adults to come here. I originally planned to wait for another two days, but when the adults come, of course I'll go and see it."
Zhang Han originally planned to talk to him about artillery, but today his original work plan has been postponed. At this time, he happily said: "It's very good, so I'll go to the Weapons Bureau."
The entire north of Lizhuang was occupied by three bureaus. The original shrubs were cut off from the groves, and the ground was burned, then the soil was rammed, and then the straight and solid roads were built. Then the river was built. The water conservancy had the previous experience of water trucks, and it was easy to drive. The three bureaus were from north to south, and the river flowed east and west, one end high and the other end low, and there was a narrow part in the middle to cooperate with the water truck to make the river water a torrent, so that many machines could be driven in the future... Zhang Han did not make any mistakes in this matter. Although there were not many machines now, he did a good job in advance.
Zhang Han once thought about the steam engine. It seemed that the principle was not too complicated, and even he knew it roughly, but if he thought about it carefully, it was still too complicated. Who told him that he had not finished studying junior high school? This matter was not something he could do with just a single shot. It took hundreds of years for Europe to tinker with this thing from theory to practice, and then it took a long time to really be practical. It would be a bit too fake to think that he would directly make this killer.
The Weapons and Armors are in the middle, the Firearms are in the south, and the Carriages are in the north. Everyone follows Zhang Han. The two sides are not far apart, and there are some storage areas in the middle. Zhang Han just took a look at the finished products that have been made.▅▃net w=ww.
"The waist knife is good." Zhang Han passed through a warehouse in the Weapons Bureau, drew his sword out of the scabbard, and looked at the blade that imitated Qi Dao, and felt very satisfied.
The blade is straight, and the handle is thicker to thinner when it reaches the edge of the blade. The blade is a bit like a willow leaf, and a little like a wider Japanese sword. In fact, Qi Dao is an imitation Japanese sword. Although Qi Jiguang had a sharp weapon and tactic to restrain the Japanese sword after fighting against the Japanese sword, the damage ratio was astonishingly high, Qi Jiguang did not ignore the strengths of the enemy's weapons. Some of the Ming army's waist swords were too thick, and some of the swords weighed seven kilograms and were too heavy. Qi Dao weighed about three to four kilograms, long and sharp, with a shield and heavy armor, it is indeed the best weapon for jumping war soldiers.
"If you buy this knife, it will probably cost about six taels."
Generally, the iron used for Qidao is very complicated, and the forging level is also high and low, and even the quality problems include the shank and scabbard. Among them, the production of the Ministry of Works is the worst. The waist knife of the Ministry of Works is three taels per piece. Generally, the Junzhen self-made ones are more particular than the materials used by the Ministry of Works, usually about five taels. If the Qidao in Lizhuang is sold, it will really cost six taels or even seven taels per piece.
Zhang Han felt aroused in his heart and said, "How much does it cost?"
"The cost was originally between four liang and seven and five liang," said Yang Hegao: "Now that we use a new machine, the cost has dropped by 30%. Now it is just over three liang to about three liang. ▅▃net w=ww."
“Very good, very good.”
The clearer the idea in Zhang Han's mind, new machines will appear continuously, which means that labor and material savings are greatly saved, time savings are greatly reduced, and that high-quality weapons can be produced in large quantities, and the bottlenecks in equip the troops will no longer exist, and even more things can be done.
What's even better is that Lingqiu solved the problem of supplying fine iron. In the past, Lingqiu produced fine iron far less than that of Fujian iron. If it was made in large quantities, it would require a large amount of purchase of Fujian iron, so the cost would definitely not be reduced. In addition, even if the cost could be reduced, Zhang Han had the ability to buy these Fujian iron.
"This is a wire drawing machine, and it was successfully developed by Xiaoren and Lao Chen."
The wire drawing machine in front of Zhang Han uses a driving force, a man-made screw that keeps driving the machine, and the thick iron is fixed from one end, and the machine constantly lengthens the wire, and the final result is the thin wire used.
Chen Yaozong's black face was full of excitement, and he said, "With this machine, the manpower in front of him can be used to make five to ten mailers a day, and there is no problem with 200 mailers a month."
This craftsman who can make mail was also a master dug by Zhang Han from the capital. There were dozens of apprentices led by Chen Yaozong, but these people only made less than ten-collar armor in a month. The main reason was that knocking on the iron ring and inlaying it was too labor-intensive. The mail appeared in China during the alternation of Yuan and Ming dynasties. The craftsman gradually matured. Later generations also had Ming-made mails passed down from generation to generation, and they disappeared earlier. China mainly focused on pricking armor and scale armor. In the Ming Dynasty, cotton armor and mail were mainly dominated by hot and cold armor, which was mainly affected by the alternation of hot and cold weapons. Cotton armor saves iron and labor, and the anti-cold weapons are not good, but the killing effect of bird guns is good. The mail is not prevented from poking and stabbing, and its defense against chopping and bows is more than cotton armor.
Of course, these armors are not as good as pure iron armor. However, pure iron armor is not only expensive, but also very labor-consuming and time-consuming to build. The cost of one iron armor is close to twenty taels according to the previous quote. Now it must be more than fifty taels. Even during the war, when the iron armor is seriously lacking, it is normal to sell it to hundreds of taels.
The price of mail is not low, which causes the border generals to accept mail very low. Only the Jing camp has a large amount of mail. When only elite servants of the border army wear multi-layer armor, they will be covered with a layer of mail. A small number of iron cavalry and white-armored soldiers of the Jurchens will also be covered with mail.
"Okay, everyone has been working hard."
Today, Zhang Han did feel the efforts and achievements of his subordinates. Whether it is a rolling mill, a wire drawing machine, or a drilling machine, these things make him feel the biggest changes he has brought to this era.
Originally, these things were also available in the Ming Dynasty, but they were all purchased from the Jesu Society. Whether it was drilling machines or boring machines, they were all purchased. Later, the Qing Dynasty, which immediately won the world, certainly did not need these complicated things. They felt that only with bows and arrows was enough, so the door to technological progress was completely blocked until people forced you to study again.
The machines in front of you are oiled. The heavy machines themselves have nothing to be called beauty, but Zhang Han felt a kind of beauty in his dark body and strong oil smell...the unquestionable beauty of industrial.
Although the machines and the screws in front of us are handmade products, they still contain the beauty of early industrialism.
Even these machines are not simple, and at least they do not have the ability to cast them by themselves in the Ming Dynasty, and they are all purchased from overseas.
“This is a hammer.”
Yang He Gao and others took Zhang Han to another workshop. After being driven by a complex water wheel, the heavy hammer kept forging the iron ingots. The iron ingots were constantly deformed and impurities were forged. Then the craftsmen clamped the iron ingots with long iron pliers to make them look the way they wanted.
"If you want a reward, you should choose it yourself."
After the inspection, Zhang Han sat in Yang and Gao's fortification room to drink tea and joked: "But no matter what, you will become very rich."
Yang Hegao felt that the corners of his eyes were a little wet. His wife gave him the greatest support this time. He had hardly returned home. Now he could go home to report the good news.
Chen Yaozong said directly: "The villain has already discussed it, as long as it is a patent."
He smiled again and said, "Old Yang, right?"
Yang Hegao nodded and said, "Yes, the water flows forward."
The hospital has been deteriorating for the past two days, and it hurts my eyes. I feel sad after taking a few eye drops over 100 times.
