Chapter 221: Preparing for the Trial Pitch

Chen Zheng was silent for a while, he really neglected this question, he couldn't read, this was a bit embarrassing.

The other craftsmen looked at the illiterate man just now, their eyes full of reproach, and glared at him one by one.

The man seemed to realize his mistake, quickly lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Ah, I remember, I really want to know a few words." ”

Everyone rolled their eyes, they didn't know how to read just now, but they were so stared at by the big guys, and they were literate? That's better than the academy.

At this time, another craftsman stepped forward and said to Chen Zheng: "Engong, I have studied in the private school and know how to read, so I can read it to them." ”

Chen Zheng nodded, but did not answer him directly, but asked everyone: "How many of you are literate, please raise your hand to signal." ”

Brush!

All the craftsmen raised their arms one after another, and some even raised both arms, looking at a lot of them, and even the illiterate one just now raised two arms.

Chen Zheng's face turned sideways, and he said: "Don't be indiscriminate, tell me the truth, raise your right hand if you are literate, don't raise both arms." ”

The craftsmen looked like Chen was a little angry, so they had to put their arms down honestly, and in the end, there were only four or five people who still held their arms.

Chen Zheng looked at it, and said directly, this is still too little, if they let them read it to others, once or twice, I'm afraid it won't work.

Sighing softly, Chen Zheng thought about it.

It can only be illustrated and written.

Originally, Chen Zheng's plan was to only use words to describe it, which would save him a lot of time and allow him to do more meaningful things.

For example, go to Cuihongju in Dongyang County to buy some rouge gouache for the lady, and then take the lady to Jiuqu Bay to watch the sunset......

But now it is not possible, the craftsmen are illiterate, but they can read the pictures, so this assembly work instruction can only be shown in the form of pictures and texts.

It's just that this is a waste of time, and Chen Zheng has no time to accompany Yue Xiaorong at all.

Chen Zheng had no choice but to take pen and paper and start drawing the assembly instructions for the trebuchet

The further down he painted, the more Chen Zheng felt as if he was drawing a Lego manual, but fortunately, Chen Zheng had a sketching background, and it was not difficult to draw.

One by one, a complete set of trebuchet assembly instructions is completed.

Yao Xin ordered someone to paste this set of work instructions on the wall, and all the craftsmen looked up, and after a few glances, it was clear at a glance.

"Ahh I see! One of them suddenly shouted.

The person standing next to the man was obviously startled, frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you calling blindly, it scared me." ”

The man smiled and said a little embarrassedly, "Didn't I see how the pedestal was installed just now?" Now that I read this work instruction, it is simply clear at a glance, and it is completely clear. ”

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! I also understood the assembly of the projectile part. Another chimed in.

Another person suddenly hammered his palm with his fist and sighed, "Oh, it turns out that those two parts are connected in this way, it's so ingenious." ”

Chen Zheng looked at the reaction of the craftsmen, and couldn't help but smile, this illustrated way is indeed more intuitive, easier to understand, looking at the craftsmen one by one suddenly realized, Chen Zheng is very pleased.

At least what you do yourself is not useless.

Chen Zheng came to the craftsmen again and said: "When you just start, the progress may be a little slow, don't worry, step by step, don't be smart, practice makes perfect is this principle." ”

All the craftsmen agreed, Chen Zheng nodded, and said to Yao Xin: "You arrange someone to be responsible for sending the parts made over there to be assembled here." ”

"No problem, I'll leave this little thing to me." Yao Xin agreed to come down.

Chen Zheng thought for a moment and instructed again: "Remember, the order of the parts should be consistent with the assembly order of the trebuchet, so that it is convenient for them to use it." ”

"Huh? That's too much to ask, isn't it? Isn't it a little difficult? Yao Xin said with a frown.

Chen Zheng glanced at Yao Xin and said, "It's not simple?" If you draw the parts, put them in the designated places, and mark them, the person in charge of transporting them can see at a glance where they should be placed. ”

Yao Xin listened, clapped his hands, and said, "Oh, why didn't I think of it?" ”

"It's not too late to know, let's do it." Chen Zheng said.

After sending Yao Xin to work, Chen Zheng found two more people and pushed the trebuchet out to show the craftsmen who were making parts outside what they had done.

At this time, these craftsmen outside were already in full swing.

The drawings of these parts and components that Chen Zheng gave them are very simple, and they are skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, so they are naturally handy to do it.

After doing a few things, many people slack off and think that there is no point in doing these things.

Because in their opinion, many parts are some long strips with mortise and tenons, which are very untechnical.

After a craftsman finished making a piece of tenon pin, he threw it away, but suddenly heard the sound of a wheel, looked up, and couldn't help but be startled.

I saw a wooden model being pushed out, and then it attracted the attention of more and more craftsmen.

"What is this?"

"I haven't seen it, it looks like a car."

"How could it be a car? There's not even a seat on it, where are you sitting? ”

"Well, that makes sense, so what do you say it is?"

"I don't know."

……

Hearing the discussions of the craftsmen, Chen Zheng smiled slightly: "This is the trebuchet, it is assembled from these parts made by your hands. ”

When the craftsmen heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, but they didn't expect that carpentry, which seemed to them to have little technical content, would finally form such a thing.

"Does this trebuchet work?" Some craftsmen questioned.

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Of course it can be used, I will push it out, just to test it." ”

Chen Zheng then ordered the trebuchet to be pushed out of the dock, and then ordered someone to go to the patrol ship parked in the harbor, remove a stone cannonball, and then prepare to fire.

Chen Zheng is still quite confident in this trebuchet, after all, the attributes of this trebuchet are quite good.

Exquisite trebuchet: Precision Strike +19, Endurance +18, Celestial Maiden Scattered Flower +18.

Although Chen Zheng didn't understand what the attribute value of the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers meant, the attribute of the first precision strike had already given this trebuchet a huge value.
