Chapter Seventy-One: Who's Doing the "Good Deeds"?
What happened outside, Zhang Rui didn't know.
Since returning from the battlefield, Zhang Rui has roughly arranged the rest of the work, and then began to work on his hydraulic workshop.
In fact, to establish a hydraulic workshop here in Zhilian Mountain is not the ideal location in Zhang Rui's heart. It's just that there is no way, originally Zhang Rui also hoped to be able to "develop obscenely" as much as possible. How could you have thought that it would be "waved" for a while, and the hatred value of the "BOSS" was pulled.
In this regard, Zhang Rui felt remorseful in his heart. I couldn't help but blame myself and said: "If you want to know that this will happen, you should worship the wrong grave and kneel a few times for that 'person who is not virtuous', so that you will not be so passive." ”
Now that a good situation has been wasted, it is really the most difficult mode in the abyss mode. Fortunately, now Zhang Rui has barely passed the first wave of tests.
According to Zhang Rui's speculation, judging from the speed of news transmission in this era of the Qing Dynasty, coupled with the deliberate concealment of the governor of Liangguang and others. This year should be able to pass with peace of mind.
However, Zhang Rui felt that he still couldn't take it lightly. After all, people are not as good as heaven, and it is definitely better to be prepared than to be unprepared.
So, Zhang Rui began to set up a hydraulic workshop, the purpose of which was weapons and armor, especially firearms and artillery.
Zhang Rui is confident that he can control the loyalty of his team through various methods, after all, Zhang Rui's introduction of this "team is an epoch-making existence".
Moreover, the Qing Dynasty really can't make people come to their hearts, otherwise there would be no uprisings all the time. Even if it is now the "prosperous age" that some people say, there are still people who make it back.
Why? It is the various injustices of the Manchu Qing and the oppression of other ethnic groups, which are the most important to the Han people.
However, the uprising is not an act, it is about the real dead.
Therefore, Zhang Rui can only do his best to provide the best equipment to the team. Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to let them revolt casually and send them to death.
If you don't do it, you won't do it, and if you do it, you have to do it well. This is what Zhang Rui has been advocating all these years
Others don't understand why Zhang Rui is so wasteful and wants to destroy those artillery. However, Zhang Rui couldn't be clearer.
That's because the "iron mold casting cannon method" casting cannon is fast and cheap. But it has a fatal wound, that is, most of the cannons it casts will form white iron.
White iron is brittle, and it is impossible to use mechanical boring, and it is not even possible to drill a fire door directly into the gun body. Moreover, artillery made of white iron will crack during firing, and it will even explode if it is used repeatedly.
Zhang Rui was in a hurry when casting those cannons, and considering the problem of iron materials directly connected to the mountain, the cannon body was relatively thin. If you fire a few more shots, it is very easy to blow up.
That's why Zhang Rui was on the battlefield, Zhang Rui only let those "temporary workers" gunners fire four rounds and call it a day, and let them use gunpowder packs packed in silk to fire, just to prevent them from putting too much gunpowder when they reload and directly explode the chamber.
Zhang Rui naturally couldn't let them know about these things. The first is to let those "gunners" continue to maintain the spirit of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", thinking that fighting cannons is so simple.
The second is because he wants to give them a sense of omnipotence and mystery, so that they can continue to respect themselves.
A lot of things are not as simple as they seem. It's like now, Zhang Rui has always thought that setting up a hydraulic workshop is a very simple thing.
After all, in many time-traveling novels, as long as there is no steam engine, the problem of the water workshop will be written. Moreover, it is easy to watch those who have crossed the predecessors to do this.
However, Zhang Rui did it and found out that he would only build a house and link it to the gears.
As for how to build a dam to block the water, he really doesn't know. In addition, the water blocking this stream has to consider many problems such as flood drainage when the rainy season comes.
However, money can make the devil grind. After four days of searching, Mr. Zhang Rui waited for someone to come to the meeting.
Facts have proved that the Han people are not without capable people, but they have been suppressed.
Moreover, the craftsmen of this era are faced with a very serious problem, that is, they have the strength but cannot find a place to work with money. Under Zhang Rui's bounty seeking, the craftsmen who came to Zhang Rui's side to do things flocked to him.
Looking at the busy crowd, Zhang Rui had to sigh again: "No matter which world it is, it's still good to be rich!" ”
Finally, more than twenty days later, the first hydraulic workshop was built.
