Chapter 249: Modes of Production Across the Ages

Yao Yun lived a very fulfilling time after taking over the task of Tianshu, in addition to dealing with the political affairs of Xiguo and cultivating hard, he also often went to the Xidu craftsman workshop to inspect, communicate with Master Liao, and at the same time sent carpenters, blacksmiths, and other craftsmen to jointly build crossbows.

In the process, Master Liao showed a puzzled expression: "King, shouldn't this matter of building weapons be handed over to our military caster? Why did you send so many craftsmen, and the blacksmith was reasonable, but what carpenter and bamboo mason also came, this..."

Master Liao actually wanted to say in his heart, King, what's the use of a group of craftsmen who don't understand how to build soldiers, isn't this causing trouble for me?

Yao Yun: "Oh, Lone asked them to help build a crossbow, Lone needs to use a crossbow in the near future, so he specially allocated a large number of craftsmen to you." ”

Master Liao wailed in his heart, a group of craftsmen who had never built weapons were of no use at all, but he still had a smile on his face, and said flatteringly:

"King, crossbow building is a delicate job, and a few of Professor Chen's forger disciples have barely learned to build crossbows in the past two days, and those craftsmen are afraid..."

Yao Yun glanced at Master Liao's smiling reluctant face, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, he understood the implicit meaning of Master Liao's words, and clearly disliked other craftsmen, thinking that other craftsmen couldn't build fine crossbows with clumsy hands.

"It is naturally useful for the lonely faction to give you craftsmen, take the crossbow as an example, the crossbow machine is made of iron, the bow is made of bamboo, and the crossbow arm is wooden, and this crossbow involves the three crafts of blacksmith, bamboo smith, and carpenter, and these craftsmen naturally do not know how to build crossbows, but let them build things in their profession. ”

Originally, Master Liao still had a wry smile on his face, but as he listened, the smirk on his face froze, and his expression gradually became solemn, and then became serious.

"You can assign these fellows to them, and your disciples only need to assemble crossbows with the parts provided by the craftsmen. ”

"Of course, some of the crossbow men are not assigned to the craftsmen to build them at will, otherwise the crossbow parts created will be strangely shaped, and it will be difficult to cooperate at all. ”

Therefore, the size and length of each component have requirements, and it is called the standard. ”

Before he listened to the king's words, he just listened to it, and as he listened, Master Liao's face became more and more solemn and exciting.

The crossbow is a relatively complex weapon, and there are not many of the forgers under him who can build them on their own, but what about some parts of the crossbow? There is no need for the forger to do it, it can be handed over to other craftsmen, and maybe other craftsmen in the industry can build it better than the forger.

Can weapons be crafted like this?

Why didn't I think of it?

Master Liao was a soldier casting maniac who loved to learn, and he heard the benefits of this method from Yao Yun's mouth, and the whole person also followed Yao Yun's thinking.

"Your Majesty, the standard you said is indeed good, but it is really difficult for every craftsman to make exactly the same thing. ”

Yao Yun said with a smile: "That's right, it's difficult for craftsmen to make exactly the same objects, so we give craftsmen a range of measurements, those within the range are excellent, which can be used to make crossbows, and those outside the range are inferior, inferior and useless, so they can be discarded and called tolerance ......."

"King, this is a good idea, if there is a certain range, the objects created by the craftsmen will be roughly about the same size, wonderful. ”

"Well, there are many advantages to this, not to mention that the craftsman will make the best use of it, and the speed of building a crossbow will be much faster than if he can build it alone, and if the crossbow is worn out on the battlefield, these parts of similar size and length can also be replaced at any time. ”

.......

Between questions and answers, Yao Yun frantically instilled the concept of standardized production and manufacturing in Yao Yun's previous life to Master Liao, and words that Master Liao had never heard of jumped out of Yao Yun's mouth three times in a row, and Master Liao was dizzy when he heard it.

Complex information was crammed into Master Liao's mind, and Master Liao listened to it with fascination, as if he had found a new world.

There is a lot of knowledge related to standardized production, and the unheard words in Yao Yun's mouth are also endless, and Master Liao is dizzy when he hears it, but the concept of standardized production is still very simple.

Finally. Master Liao let out a long sigh and sighed:

"The king, no, the teacher, what you are talking about is an incomparably profound knowledge, the disciple has been taught, I will arrange it immediately, but the standards and tolerances you mentioned, the upper limit, the lower limit, the minister still does not understand, I must go back at night to study hard, and I will definitely live up to the king's grace." ”

Poof!

Master Liao bowed to Yao Yun with an excited face.

Yao Yun asked Master Liao to get up.

Looking at the sweaty Master Liao, Yao Yun sweated profusely in his heart, standardized production and manufacturing are actually not difficult to understand, but if it involves theory, Yao Yun can teach for a whole day with the knowledge he has learned in his previous life, and all kinds of professional vocabulary in the previous life are enough to make a learned master's mind swell and want to die.

Yao Yun knew that his "good teacher" problem had flare-up, and he couldn't stop after he started talking, and after he woke up, he didn't say more, and asked Master Liao to try to standardize the crossbow.

It is said that the crossbow of the previous Daqin has achieved standardized production, and various parts such as crossbow machine and crossbow arm can be replaced with each other, which is very advanced, which also confirms that there is no problem with standardized production in this era, and at most it cannot be extremely fine at the beginning.

A few days later, the cross crossbow and the repeating crossbow soon began to be standardized and built in large quantities, and Yao Yun's next goal was naturally placed on the three-bow bed crossbow.

Crossbows and even crossbows can enhance the strength of the Xuan Army, but Yao Yun is most concerned about the three-bow bed crossbow, the time is only one month, and Yao Yun does not have much time to delay.

Ten days later, under the pondering of Yao Yun and Master Liao, the three-bow bed crossbow was finally born.

Compared with the lightness of the crossbow and the repeating crossbow, which can be controlled by a single person, these three-bow bed crossbows are a little bloated and huge, as the name suggests, the crossbow is as big as a bed, the three huge longbows are two positive and one negative, and even the arrows used in the bed crossbow are surprisingly thick, and the javelins used by the armor are about the same size.

The bed crossbow is engraved with the witch spell [Juyuan Mantra], and the armor warriors who are ordinary qi refiners carry the power of qi and blood into the [Juyuan Mantra], and the witchcraft can gather the vitality of heaven and earth when it takes effect, and infuse the three-bow bed crossbow with vitality;

On the arrows shaped like javelins, Yao Yun engraved the blessing of the witch spell [Golden Spell] to enhance the power of the arrows;

In this way, the ultra-long-range and powerful three-bow bed crossbow can have the power to threaten a first-rank qi refiner even in the hands of ordinary armor soldiers.

Of course, this armor warrior needs to be a martial artist and have the power of qi and blood, otherwise he will not be able to activate the [Juyuan Mantra] at all.

Master Liao looked at the terrifying weapon in front of him, his heart was both shocked and proud, and said to Yao Yun with a smile: "King, why don't we try the power, if the power is acceptable, immediately build a large number of them, and ensure that a batch of three-bow bed crossbows will be created before the end of the month!"
