Chapter 224 Invincible
Chen Mu wanted to join the book editing plan to make County Magistrate Zou very frightened.
To be honest, it would be fine if Zhao Shizhen was assigned to him. Anyway, their status was similar, and they were all the same outside the military government office, making a great man.
When you enter the gate of the Dongyang Military Office, don’t underestimate the two toes, maybe who will grow a little longer.
But it was wrong for Chen Mu to jump out. Where is your Dongyang Marshal? What are you playing with our toes brothers? Let's go back to you.
What? Do you think this 'top' refers to the shoulder or head?
No, no, Chen Mu is the sun, and descending to earth will burn everyone to death!
Now, Secretary Zhao originally planned to spend more than ten days to compile a "Water Pressure Book" to talk about the benefits of the water machine, and then put it into practice to make a water pump. As a result, Chen Mu took the design drawing of the hand-pressure pump to Zou Yuanbiao in the tea cup after he decided to join.
On the way to the military weapon bureau, the personal soldiers rushed to the sawwood farm, Tuntiku and other places to search for craftsmen and materials, and then worked directly in the past.
The carpenters took the tools and slammed for half an hour, and took out a reduced version of the hand-pressure pump model according to the design drawings, and slammed the pot. Chen Mu held the pressing rod that was not as thick as his tail finger and pressed it hard.
OK, can't be used!
Zou Yuanbiao and Zhao Shizhen were almost trying to applaud Chen Mu's operation!
The three of them thought the military weapon bureau was too hot, so they went back to the house and went to the yamen to think about it. They kept thinking until the evening, drawing and writing theory. After all, hand-pressure water pumps are relatively complicated and novel in comparison to the current composition and production experience. Chen Mu only knows the general principles, and it is inevitable that something goes wrong.
But what is certain is to give him some time and he can definitely do it again, after all, Beiyang did it.
It was dark until it was dark, and the personal soldiers at the yamen came to report that there were two craftsmen from the Military Weapon Bureau at the door. They stood for an afternoon and did not dare to come in.
When the craftsman was recruited, the two of them carried a large water gun and said that the hand-pressure water pump was complex in structure and required dozens of parts inside. Any one of them broke and could not be used. The later repair was very time-consuming.
The groundwater around Changsheng is quite high, so it is better to use this one. It is simple to make and quick to use, which is conducive to large-scale production. As long as the structure of the well is slightly changed, the people in hundreds of villages can do it themselves in the future and can still be used as weapons when war is approaching.
"weapon?"
Zou Yuanbiao looked at the big water-piercing gun and couldn't speak. Instead, Zhao Shizhen looked at the water gun left and right, and asked the craftsman: "This water gun is similar to the structure of the muzzle on the fierce turret cabinet?"
In fact, the water gun is a bit like a large wooden needle tube with pistons inside, but it is not rubber. It uses a bamboo tube and cooked skin smaller than the shell. The Forbidden City uses this thing to extinguish the fire. Two eunuchs operate to absorb water from the tank and spray it onto the eaves seven meters high.
The exact name of this structure should be called the pump. This name comes from Yu Zhenmu's "Tree Planting Book" in the 12th year of Hongwu. It means the same as the reciprocating, piston-type, and pump-action type. Later, the pump-action shotgun was also called the pump-type shotgun.
Food is the most important thing for people. Once ancient China discovered that technology was very advanced, it would definitely be able to find its roots from agricultural production. The pump was first used for agricultural irrigation, and the pistons inside were the same. However, it was not irrigation, but to draw salt water from salt wells.
In the "Dongpo Zhilin" by Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is written as follows: If the difference between bamboo is small, it is used to enter and exit the well as a barrel, and there is no bottom and the hole is on it. It is hung for several inches of mature skin. When entering and exiting the water, the air will open and close it by breathing. A barrel will reach several buckets of water. All wells use machinery, and everyone knows where the profit is.
Chen Mu was very interested when he heard Zhao Shizhen say that the structure of the water gun and the fierce turret cabinet was similar. In the surprised eyes of the two craftsmen, the personal soldiers were lifting the water gun onto the table. Then he saw the Dongyang Magistrate exclaiming one after another, moving like a child, then look.
For a while: "Hey, this is amazing!", and for a while: "It can still be like this!"
This style surprised Zhao Shizhen and asked, "Master, have you never used a hot oil cabinet in Nanyang? Why do you seem to have never seen this?"
Chen Mu's demeanor is indeed quite like I have never seen before, but he answered very naturally: "I have seen it, and I have used it twice myself, but I didn't study the structure in it carefully at that time... I was a Qianhu in Xiangshan at that time, and I didn't think this thing works well."
"I have young, but no experience in commanding the fleet, and my army lacks artillery, and I am superstitious about firepower."
Chen Mu made a small summary of his half-life military service and nodded: "In Nanyang, three or five boats are equipped with hundreds of cannons, even the Franchise is enough. He is mainly good at fighting spirit. If others want to fight with you, we can fire the cannons while running, who can win?"
"At that time, more hot oil cabinets are useless. Unless I want to hit someone, no one can get close to my boat ten feet. It is difficult for the turbulent oil cabinet to play a role."
While saying that, Chen Mu struggled to lift the water gun designed for two people to use, and his thoughts were released after stroking the gun body: "The overall situation is smaller and more portable. The front end is designed to be conical to increase the jet pressure. The middle of the two-foot-long bamboo tube is opened, and five are connected behind the back, and one person can carry it... Hum?"
What shocked Chen Mu was Zou Yuanbiao's strange cry in the applause.
"Okay, handsome man!"
Zou Tuzi had already understood that the correct usage of this thing is to make it bigger, place it vertically on the well, then dig a slope along the other side of the well, draw water, and spew the water out.
Although the production is a little difficult, it is actually not difficult to go any further, but it can save a lot of effort for water harvesting. The villages he ruled need this, especially the little thing Chen Mu mentioned.
"Under Changsheng's rule, each village would have to dig a few wells and put a few large pumps, and then match the farmers with what you said. Five water barrels are not enough. At least three or four people in the family should be equipped with twenty water barrels, or just ask the donkey to pull a cart, put a large water barrel on the cart, a little taller, and connect the water gun with a leather tube, so you will no longer have to worry about watering the ground!"
"You don't know how uncomfortable it is for farmers to bend over and get water. The vegetable farmer has to water it with a small scoop of water, and water it with a scoop of water... huh?"
Before Zou Yuanbiao could finish his words, Zhao Shizhen gently pushed his elbow with his elbow. He looked up and saw Chen Mu in a daze. When he turned to look at Zhao Shizhen in confusion, the small unit's expression was extremely strange.
Zhao Shizhen pursed his lips very seriously, looked at the water guns on the table, and said softly, "The Grand Marshal is not good. I mean, the Grand Marshal is not as polite as you are in the hardships of people's livelihood. His tone, expression, and action just now are probably not designing agricultural tools."
Zhao Shizhen, who deals with weapons all day long and even designed several weapons himself, knew Chen Mu's idea very well, and he guessed that the five-pair bamboo tube in Chen Mu's mouth was definitely not water, but the biggest possibility was turmeric oil.
If it is really tincture oil, Zhao Shizhen guessed that a detachable fire source might be added to the water muzzle to ignite the tincture oil.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shizhen held the cuff with his left hand and stretched out his right palm to slap the table.
"Mr. I've thought about it. One hundred households has two pieces, one thousand households has twenty-four donkeys, twelve pounds of cannons and shells, and the other twelve weapons. Each one can carry two sets of twelve magical arrows. Carrying a small car can hold two cans of turmeric oil. The most powerful thing in the world is fire. It means that ten thousand men are invincible. The name is Modi gun!"
Chen Mu was shocked: "Why are you both thinking so far?"
