In the days of waiting for the return of Lu Jia's mission, the royal power ......

No, it's kingship!

The royal power also received one good news after another.

The first remodeled and strengthened hydraulic forging machine was put into use, and in the first use, apart from the fact that the craftsmen were a little uncomfortable, the effect was surprisingly impossible.

"Your Majesty, steel is used in the rotation, and there is no problem with the hardness, but the wear is a little bad, and the sound is a little loud, and then we applied a very thick layer of grease on it, and now it is much better, but we need to stop and apply it often." The craftsman pointed to the forging machine made of steel and introduced it excitedly.

Don't underestimate this guy, it's enough to change the status quo of the big man.

"One such machine, a skilled blacksmith, can block twenty people in one day!" Ding Lian also repeatedly said that the role of forging machines for craftsmen.

And with such a machine, it is enough to solve the problem of lack of craftsmen.

How beautiful is the tinkling noise......

"Is it really that powerful?" Wang Quan couldn't help but look at Ding Lian.

Machinery is used to liberate manpower, and the royal power naturally knows about this.

But that's just the beginning.

Just such a primitive forging machine to this point can also be used by one person as twenty people?

"Really!" Ding Lian nodded with great certainty.

Of course, Ding Lian knew that Wang Quan was not looking at the result, so he didn't need to sort out the language, and said directly: "In the past, the iron was struck in a group of six, two people in rotation, one with a big hammer and one with a small hammer, and kept beating the ...... repeatedly."

Wang Quan kept nodding his head, and finally agreed with Ding Lian's statement.

People are not machines, people are tired.

Even if people in ancient times were more hard-working, they could not treat people as animals, and overwork would naturally result in people not being able to work for a long time.

And the profession of blacksmith is basically one arm thick and one arm thin.

Often two craftsmen in a group, hit dozens of times, and after the temperature of the sword body drops, they take it back to heat.

Take advantage of this opportunity to take a break while another group of people gets on.

The three groups of people alternated and worked continuously.

So, a forging machine that can beat non-stop and work like an automatic pile driver can withstand six people at the start.

Immediately afterwards, the force of the forging machine is naturally much greater than the strength of a person, and the speed is also faster.

A craftsman with quick eyes can forge the weapon in his hand more times in the same amount of time.

Once heated, the number of beats can be compared with the previous two or three heats, isn't this another saving of manpower?

The most important thing is that today's craftsmen no longer need to take turns to rest as they used to.

Even if you take a break, you will only go to rest after half a day.

"How much can I produce in a day now?" Wang Quan then asked, "While the process is important, so is the output."

Ding Lian thought for a while and said, "With such a machine, if you use the kind of iron in the workshop, one person can form more than five handfuls a day!" ”

"Good! Great goodness! The king kept nodding.

In the past, it took two craftsmen more than three days to forge a sword that could be called good.

But not anymore.

The emergence of the machine has greatly saved manpower, and at the same time, because of the increase of strength, it has shortened the forging time.

Although the molding of five is not a five-hander that can be put into use, but even so, it is an absolute advantage for the Han Kingdom.

If there were 1,000 hydraulic forging machines here, the output would be 5,000 swords a day.

Forging is only the first step, and then you need to sharpen the knife and rub it constantly, which is more time-consuming.

If it's purely human, basically two or three days won't work.

After the blade is sharpened, it is tempered, and finally coated with a layer of grease and sealed in a scabbard.

So, even now, it takes at least five days from the beginning of forging to the time when a sword can leave the factory.

But after the back is smoothed out, it is basically 5,000 swords shipped every day.

With such efficiency, it only takes ten days, and the output here can arm Han Xin's 50,000 people.

It only takes three months to reequip all the troops in the country.

The picture was so beautiful that the royal power couldn't imagine it.

Then it occurred to me that it didn't seem to be useful to do it so quickly.

The most urgent need is Han Shin's 50,000 troops, and the rest of the troops are not in a hurry now.

In addition, there was not so much iron to forge for him for a while, so even if a thousand forging machines were built, they would have to be idle for a long time to come, or used to build farm tools or something.

"First of all, take 300 forging machines as the goal, make a good plan, don't waste the water flow that is introduced, dig a big pool in the rear, and lead the water there, and let the pavilions along the way organize their own people to dig water channels and bring water from the big pools to all places." The royal power commanded.

Even though it was only a hundred meters of digging here, the pool would certainly not be so close, and it would have to be dug several miles away.

The first is to reserve the workstation in the future, and the second is to prevent the people from getting too close, so that the people who are interested in it can take advantage of it.

The people themselves did not need to dig a canal like the workshop, which was basically half a meter wide and half a meter deep.

Irrigation, in this year, is absolutely not allowed except for the fields next to the river, which can be extravagantly irrigated.

Water is a precious resource, and during the Warring States period, there were many fights for water.

After the Qin Dynasty, all aspects of governance became stricter.

The situation is only slightly better than before.

Even if irrigation is not allowed, it saves everyone a lot of time to get water, which means that they can water more times in the same time, so the yield will naturally increase.

"By the way, sharpening knives can also be used in this way, you don't need so many things, you can directly build a waterwheel out of wood, it is ......the same as a wheel," Wang Buxing pointed to the working forging machine, and then said: "Erect him, set it up on the shore, and install grinding stones on the left and right sides, and then save this effort, do it well, and see how much a waterwheel can drive!" ”

"Wang ...... Your Majesty, you ...... You're really ......," Ding Lian was surprised and didn't know how to express it.

A forging machine was enough to surprise him, and now even the most laborious sharpening of knives has been solved.

As for whether it is feasible or not, the answer is, of course, yes.

Isn't the knife movement and the grinding stone movement all the same?

If it is purely manual, it will take at least three days to sharpen a sword, and how much time will it be saved?

The picture is so beautiful that Ding Lian feels that he doesn't dare to imagine it.

Leaving the workshop, I watched the people who were busy building the courtyard wall.

Wang Bu was hungry and received another piece of good news.

The second furnace and the third road have already produced results, although they are still not ideal, but the effect is better than the first.

Some molten iron has already been poured out of the second furnace, and they are starting the cultivation of the fourth furnace and the fifth furnace as planned.

The good news comes one after the other.

After the blast furnace ironmaking is also completed, the Han Kingdom will really take off in an all-round way.

For this reason, Wang Quan was almost deceived by the TV series of later generations.

Rumor has it that the Han Dynasty obtained the smelting technology of steel from the Yueshi when Zhang Qian was on an envoy.

So Wang Bu was hungry and sent people to the grassland to look for iron-smelting technology, but when he got there, he found that there was no advanced technology?

Their technology is not the kind that has been behind for ten or eight years.

In the land of Zhuxia, the strongest iron-smelting technology was South Korea before, and Wang Buxing took over this group of old craftsmen from the Qin Dynasty.

During the troubled times at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the iron-smelting technology of the Chu State was also good, and it was even better than that of the Han State.

Now Wang Bu is hungry and has taken over these relics of the Chu State.

Coupled with deliberate guidance, vigorous development.

Even if the Han Kingdom has not yet developed the blast furnace iron-smelting technology, the current iron-smelting technology is also the world's top.

Historically, the iron-smelting technology of the Han Kingdom really originated in the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, developed in the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and flourished in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

During these three periods, the technology of 100 steel refining and frying steel appeared, which enabled the Han army to have a crushing advantage over the Xiongnu in weapons on the battlefield.

However, not only that, with the development of iron-smelting technology, the Han army was armed to the teeth.

Later, when the Han army went out of the fortress, the standard equipment of a soldier was a war horse, a long-handled ring-headed sword, or an iron spear, and iron armor weighing eleven kilograms per person......

When Wang Quan realized that the Han Kingdom was already the most advanced, he began to vigorously develop and bury his head in hard work.

Finally, now he sees hope.

In the development of science and technology, he alone, in less than three years, he has completed the road walked by the three generations of monarchs of the Han Dynasty in history.

Back at the palace, the sky gradually darkened.

After dinner, Wang Quan was still excited and couldn't discipline himself, so he came to the small courtyard where Chen Wei was.

Wang Quan really wants to explore his life with Chen Wei and talk about his ideals.

But reason still controlled his selfishness.

It's better not to talk about this kind of thing with women, because if you talk about it more, you will understand more, and if you understand more, your ambition will naturally be greater.

Wang Quan didn't want those messy things to happen in the Han Kingdom in the future.

But sitting down is not a solution, although the two have long been husband and wife, they have both had a doll for several months, and they are still the eldest sons.

Chatting and chatting, it is natural to do something that can be done between men and women.

Half an hour later......

Wang Quan, who was satisfied, lay on the bed, planning to talk to Chen Wei about the queen.

Qin Shi Huang did not canonize the queen, that was his own business, talking about the past and the present, it was just that Qin Shi Huang did not canonize the queen, his son was cold before he had time to canonize the queen, and the king was not hungry but did not plan to learn to play like this.

Among the five wives, Wang Quan likes Chen Wei the most, who is beautiful, sensible, ****......

No, it's empathetic, and it seems to be a good choice to make her the queen.

The most important thing is that there is no reason for no relatives, and there is no need to worry about the influence of relatives.

"Lonely ......"

"Border Rush ......"
