"The disciple meets the master. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Broken Lang and the others returned to the Star Sect and saw Ji Yang for the first time.

"Get up, and see if you are embarrassed and have suffered in the Middle East." Ji Yang met everyone in the Stars Temple, the inner door was in the belly of the mountain, although it was secret, it was a little uncomfortable to stay for a long time.

"Master, I met a congenital master in India and suffered a small loss. This time he returned, hoping to lead the entire fleet to India, where he was bound to defeat him. "Broken Lang's injury has healed, he has cultivated the Nine Yang True Scripture, and his recovery speed is extremely fast.

"If you are in a hurry, go back to bathe and change your clothes, rest for a few days, and talk about it again when you go back to the military." Ji Yang said that these young people are full of energy, and they have just returned from the sea and want to go out. However, he had to consider the emotions of the sailors, not everyone was as energetic as the broken waves, and it was not easy to come back, and many people wanted to go home for a reunion dinner.

"The disciple obeys." Broken Waves was stunned for a moment, and then said.

Ji Yang set up "coordinates" in each important place of the Star Sect and added the leaders of the place to the circle of friends. Ming Tao and others from the Star Fleet, more than a dozen chief engineers from the Star Workshop, and a few people from the world.

If he wants to check the situation somewhere, he just needs to teleport over, which will benefit Ji Yang's rule. What the ruler is most afraid of is that the people below will disobey the yin and yang, cut corners, and distort the facts, but Ji Yang has no such problem.

The Star Sect now has three shipyards, one on the banks of the Dadu River, which mainly manufactures ships, one in Kangju, North Korea, which mainly manufactures warships, and one that is newly built in Hangzhou.

Because Hangzhou is located in the middle of the three kingdoms of Ryukyu, Korea and Dongying, it is the most prosperous maritime trade area in the Central Plains. The Hangzhou shipyard is commercial, manufacturing a variety of civilian and commercial military vessels, using the current more popular shipbuilding technology.

The core technology is in the two shipyards of Dadu River and Connecticut, and the ships manufactured are supplied to the Qunxing fleet.

Ji Yang has been more concerned about the progress of the cannon casting workshop recently, so he sent it to Chief Engineer Yang. The Cannon Casting Workshop brings together a variety of advanced technologies of the Nakshatra School, including steelmaking, alloys, gunpowder, barrels, shells, muskets, and more.

The steelmaking technology of the Xingzhu faction is already very advanced, but due to the lack of mining technology, the iron ore production is too low, so the steelmaking output cannot be increased. The Tiger God cannon tube is a special alloy, because the barrel in the artillery when the instant pressure is extremely high, the temperature is extremely high, so the material requirements for the barrel is very high, only the high-strength alloy steel with trace elements such as carbon, nickel, chromium, platinum and other trace elements can meet the requirements.

Nickel is an indispensable element in artillery steel, which can greatly improve the toughness of artillery steel. However, China is a country with a serious shortage of nickel, so the Chinese have successfully developed a series of artillery steels that replace nickel with rare earths or vanadium.

Ji Yang used a special method to get these techniques in his hands, and then handed them over to Wu Kun, so that after Wu Kun mastered them, he would guide those craftsmen. Wu Kun is very smart, he knows what Ji Yang wants, he will not stuff all the techniques to those craftsmen at once, but guide them step by step. From the most advanced cannon casting technology in the Ming Dynasty, it has been gradually upgraded to modern times, and only in this way can they truly master and have the ability to continue to develop.

Sometimes Wu Kun will also test them, deliberately hiding their skills and letting them figure it out for themselves. Although this method made the industrialization of the Nakshatra school slower, it could train a group of highly skilled craftsmen, which was beneficial in the long run.

In fact, the Constellation Workshop has grown rapidly, at least a few hundred years ahead of its neighboring countries. At this time, Western artillery could only hit five or six hundred meters, while the Tiger God artillery could already fight eighteen miles, about nine kilometers.

"I've seen the head of the house." When Chief Engineer Yang saw Ji Yang, he immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Well, I'll take a look at the latest steam engine, how is the effect?" Ji Yang asked.

The steam engine is a symbolic creation of industrialization, and hundreds of craftsmen including Chief Engineer Yang have joined forces to manufacture the steam engine. Then there was the use of steam engines, such as machine tools for making steam power, trains, warships, looms, and so on.

"I'm here, we've built a steam machine, and we're experimenting with it." Chief Engineer Yang took him to the gun barrel foundry, which is a relatively modern and spacious factory using red brick and cement casting.

Thanks to the material problem, the casting of cannons in Fengyun World is not as difficult as imagined.

The hardness of cold iron is much higher than that of ordinary steel, and they used the original technology to forge the cold iron into a green steel drill, which can easily drill through ordinary steel. Of course, the green steel drill is fixed, at this time the foundry is still using manual drilling, erecting the barrel with a large fixed iron tongs, manually manipulating the lever, you can use the iron tongs to clamp the barrel of the furnace step by step to move to the front of the drill bit.

Although it is a manual drill, of course, it will not lag behind to turn the green steel drill directly by hand, but use gear transmission. A craftsman who has practiced the three or five realms of martial arts, through gear transmission, can easily drill through the barrel.

After drilling, it is necessary to carry out finishing, from material manufacturing (steel manufacturing, forging, heat treatment, etc.), to self-tightening pre-processing, inner and outer diameter processing, self-tightening treatment, inner chamber processing, rifling processing, outer wall finishing, screw and groove processing, internal surface treatment, inspection at completion, shooting test, post-shooting inspection, it takes dozens of processes.

After Ji Yang looked at the large-scale process, he walked to a smaller workshop in the deepest part of the foundry. There's a more cumbersome machine tool for cannon casting, which uses steam power, faster and more standard than manual work, and the key is to work day and night.

"I've seen the head of the house." The steam machine tool is very long, and there are more than ten old craftsmen in their forties and fifties and dozens of young craftsmen operating and observing. This is the secret experimental factory of the Xingzhu Sect Cannon Foundry, and the gate is heavily guarded, and the gate is cast in green steel ten centimeters back, weighing 100 tons. Unless it is a congenital master, it can only be opened with a mechanism, which shows the importance that the Star Party attaches here.

The production of cold iron is very low, and it is difficult to forge cold iron into green steel, even in the Central Plains, there are only a handful of schools that have mastered this technology. Good steel is used on the blade, but this experimental factory uses hundreds of tons of green steel.

"No need to be polite, I'm just coming to take a look." Ji Yang said.

"Boss, this is the "Manniu" steam engine we developed, using coal as a pyrogen. However, although we made it, after half a month of experiments, it was found that its thermal energy utilization rate was very low. The efficiency of this Manniu steam engine is only a little faster than that of existing manual machine tools, and it consumes a lot of coal mines. We're going to make it a little bit more efficient and then scale it up. Chief Engineer Yang introduced.

The steam engine was not immediately easy to use, and the internal structure of the initial steam engine was poor, and the utilization rate of heat energy was low. After several improvements, it really reached the market demand, and the "labor efficiency" of the warrior craftsmen was high, and it was still some time for the steam engine to replace the labor.

"Yes, it is a great progress to make it, and if you order it to go on, those who participated in the development will be rewarded with three hundred taels of all, and several chief engineers will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver." Ji Yang said.

"Thank you, sir." Chief Engineer Yang and others thanked one after another, and they were very excited to receive praise and rewards from the boss. In ancient times, the status of craftsmen was low, and the remuneration was also very low, and the Star Sect should be the best place for craftsmen.

Because of this, Ji Yang was able to dig up so many good craftsmen in such a short period of time.

After observing the cannon foundry, Ji Yang teleported back to the Star Sect.
