Chapter 66: Let's Start Printing
"Sting! Sting! Thorn ......"
"Whew! Shout! Whew......"
After trying out the frame saw and planer that had just been made, Chen Mu stood up in surprise and joy, and shouted excitedly: "King, we have done it!" And we did it! ”
Seeing that Chen Mu was about to jump up, Wang Pu was stunned.
He really didn't quite understand these two things that Dawang and Chen Mu had spent a day and a half making...... It's just a saw that two people can work together and a planer that can flatten the wood, so excited?
However, Li Yuanjia could understand Chen Mu's feelings, and subconsciously clapped his hands, as if he wanted to pat off the dust that did not exist on it, and a smile appeared on his face.
To be honest, I feel a lot of accomplishment!
Planers, frame saws, standard equipment for the carpenters of the future.
In addition to the machinery that uses electricity, this is the weapon of the artisanal carpenters. Compared to the bow saws and hammers they used before, there is no doubt that planers and frame saws can greatly improve their production efficiency. Especially the planer, as long as the hands push up a few times, you can quickly peel off a layer of wood, but also make the surface of the wood quickly become smooth, compared to using the same shovel to shovel a little bit, it is not a star and a half!
It should be a lot faster to make parts now, right?
Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia didn't smile anymore, and said directly: "Chen Mu, find two people to try and see if you can work faster with them?" ”
"Yes, King!"
With a sudden look on his face, Chen Mu hurriedly looked for someone.
Wang Pu, who stayed behind, frowned and asked with some curiosity: "King, these two things...... Can it really speed up the production of a rollover car by a large margin? ”
"Hehe, of course you can."
Nodding, Li Yuanjia said with a smile: "The only thing I'm curious about now is how much I can speed up the production with them." That's why I asked Chen Mu and them to give it a try, so that it would ...... Hehe, maybe the goal of 300 overturned cars a month will soon be reached! ”
Li Yuanjia is not greedy, and he is very content if he can increase the speed by one or two percent.
It's a pity that he doesn't remember many carpenter tools, that is, these two are the most commonly used, compared to the electric tools, there are more electric tools, but they are useless.
"300 ......"
After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, Wang Pu couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
But before he could speak, Li Yuanjia had already stood up from his chair: "Remember, let those handymen be responsible for decomposing and roughening the wood, and the carpenters only need to do fine work, so that the speed can be greatly increased...... Let's go, let Chen Mu try it himself, and let's go to other workshops to have a look. ”
It's been two days since he came to Zhuangzi, and Li Yuanjia's time has been spent on the carpenter's side.
But in fact, if it was only for this little thing of the carpenters, he really wouldn't have left Gentle Township and come to live in this place for so many days. The key to this visit is actually to visit my own workshops, especially the glass workshop and movable type printing, to see if there is anything I can help with.
went to the glass workshop for a turn, and Li Yuanjia was quite satisfied.
Although the glass made by Han Cheng and the others was still so yellow, seeing that there were still more than a dozen new minerals in the warehouse that were useless, and Han Cheng's "test record" book also listed the things that had been used, Li Yuanjia knew that success was only a matter of time.
One by one, sooner or later, you can find the right thing.
Just when Li Yuanjia praised the craftsmen with satisfaction and was about to leave to go to the movable type printing workshop, he suddenly saw Han Cheng with a hesitant face, and immediately frowned: "Han Cheng, is there something wrong?" ”
After hesitating for a moment, Han Cheng stepped forward and said respectfully: "Wang, I want to ask you a little one, the kind of carbon you sent last time...... It's called coke, is there anything left? ”
"Coke? Did you use it? ”
After listening to Han Cheng's words, Li Yuanjia's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, King, and it works!"
Speaking of coke, Han Cheng immediately became excited, and hurriedly nodded: "Not only does it make glass faster, but the transparency is also much higher!" It's just that the amount of coke is so small that we tried it once and it was gone. ”
"Haha......"
Hearing Han Cheng say this, Li Yuanjia suddenly laughed happily.
Useful?
It's a great thing to be useful!
What Li Yuanjia is most afraid of is that he has worked hard to make it, but everyone doesn't like to use it, so it's called an irritating one. It's as if more than a hundred jars have been made and are ready to be shipped to the Turks and Tibetans next month, and if all of them can't be sold by then, then Li Yuanjiake will really cry.
However, he didn't have any extra coke on hand now, so he waved his hand and smiled: "We don't have coke in our house now, and I don't think you will need it in a short time!" But...... What about Zhang Wan? Let him come over! ”
had been waiting beside him, but after hearing Li Yuanjia's order, Zhang Wanyi, who was in charge of construction matters, came over at a trot to salute.
After letting Zhang Wan get up first, Li Yuanjia said with a smile: "Next month, a craftsman who makes coke will come from Luzhou, and then he will make coke in Zhuangzi, and then you can build him whatever he needs." ”
"Yes, my lord."
"Alright, let's all step down."
Suddenly remembering that the craftsman he asked for from his younger brother Li Lingkui should be able to arrive next month, Li Yuanjia specially explained to Zhang Wan, waved his hand and asked him to retreat with Han Cheng.
Then it was called over for movable type printing...... Or it should be called Li Zhong, the steward of the printing workshop.
While walking towards the printing workshop, Li Yuanjia asked, "Li Zhong, how are the engravings of those books doing?" When will it all be done? ”
"If you go back to the king, you have already made two copies!"
Xiao Xiaobu followed behind Li Yuanjia, and Li Zhong hurriedly replied: "Several craftsmen don't stop every day, but this time the king let use horizontal characters, and there are countless Tianzhu numbers and various mathematical symbols and punctuation marks in it...... Craftsmen are very unaccustomed to it, and often carve it wrong. ”
When he said these words, Li Zhong was a little apprehensive in his heart.
Although the craftsmen have now learned the kind of font used by the king, and the speed of engraving the text has been greatly accelerated, the existence of Tianzhu numbers, mathematical conformity, punctuation marks and various calculations has given them a headache, and the horizontal carving method is even more worrying. The engraving speed of these books is more than twice as slow as that of ordinary books!
"Hehe, don't rush, just take your time."
Of course, Li Yuanjia didn't blame him, and immediately said with a smile: "But since the engraving of the first two books has been made, let's discuss it with Wang Pu, take some paper and start printing......
