Li Zhongyi looked a little excited, these crucibles are his own efforts to make zuò, and the laborers are the most glorious!

With the help of these crucibles, the efficiency of pouring hollow mud arrows has been significantly improved. Under Li Zhongyi's personal organization, the stirred molten iron that had just been baked was actually filled with a thousand mud arrows in one go.

Li Zhongyi nodded frequently, this efficiency continues, even if he doesn't build another iron-making furnace, he can make at least five to six thousand hollow mud arrows a day.

In fact, neither Li Zhongyi nor Xie Xiaosan realized that the stirred molten iron already belonged to the category of frying steel.

If the blacksmith who was originally in charge was present, he would never allow Xie Xiaosan to come so nonsense.

When Xie Xiaosan was young, he was a blacksmith in the Later Tang Dynasty Iron Factory, and his master knew how to fry steel, that is, after the molten iron was baked, it had to be stirred to the maximum.

To be honest, Xie Xiaosan was just drawing a scoop according to the gourd, but inadvertently, the quality of the arrows was greatly improved.

Pig iron that has not been stirred, or wrought iron that has been stirred, has a defect that is fatal.

Unstirred, i.e., fried pig iron, although extremely hard, is very brittle. Although there is no problem with the arrowhead made of this kind of pig iron piercing the flesh and wearing leather armor, when encountering a solid armor like the Mingguang armor, not only will it not be penetrated, but it will also be broken halfway.

As for the molten iron, after solidification, it becomes wrought iron. Wrought iron is very flexible, but it is not suitable for hard arrowheads.

The iron fried by Xie Xiaosan is just between pig iron and wrought iron, taking into account the hardness and plasticity, although it is not good to make a machete, it is just right to act as a high-firing triangular pyramidal arrow.

Li Zhongyi participated in the whole process of making arrowheads, and summarized afterwards, but was surprised to find that these technologies are actually to the point, and they are not so esoteric and difficult to understand.

Because many old craftsmen cherish their brooms and refuse to teach their years of hard work to outsiders.

In addition, the bureaucrats not only monopolized the iron-smelting industry, but also did not pay attention to the exhibition and summary of manual science and technology, which led to many advanced technologies of the ancestors, which often ended in loss.

After the watering of the arrows was solved, Li Zhongyi put his attention on making arrow shafts again.

Wang Xiaoyi's age is not very large, but the perennial load of labor has crushed his body.

Li Zhongyi looked at Wang Xiaoyi, who made a new type of saw, almost every time he moved, he had to take a breath, which was really hard.

Standing beside Wang Xiaoyi and observing for a while, Li Zhongyi suddenly had a strange thing, when Wang Xiaoyi leveled the bark on the wood, he used an axe and a knife to cut it finely, and there was no trace of the planer at the scene.

When Li Zhongyi's home was decorating, in addition to chainsaws and wooden saws, there were several kinds of planers, one was an electric planer and a planer, and the other was a manual planer.

There is no need to think about the electric one, Li Zhongyi felt very strange, so he took advantage of Wang Xiaoyi's tiredness and asked him with a smile when he was resting: "Why didn't I see the planer?" ”

"Planer? What is Planer? Wang Xiaoyi asked Li Zhongyi with a blank face.

Li Zhongyi gestured to explain what a planer was, but Wang Xiaoyi didn't understand it all the time.

Could it be that this Great Zhou Dynasty did not have a planer to cut wooden boards? Li Zhongyi felt a little unbelievable.

Now, Li Zhongyi can't care about studying whether there is a planer in the Great Zhou Dynasty, at least he urgently needs it now.

Moreover, according to the carpentry planer that Li Zhongyi has seen before, it is actually very simple and not complicated at all.

To put it bluntly, that is, on top of the wooden rectangular pusher, a planer knife is fixed, and that's it.

So, Li Zhongyi used a black charcoal pen to draw a sketch of the woodworking planer on white linen paper.

Because the structure is very simple, Li Zhongyi only explained it three times, and Wang Xiaoyi already fully understood.

Wang Xiaoyi looked at the planer on the paper, took a breath, and said with great certainty: "Don't dare to deceive Shangguan, the villain has indeed never seen this kind of planing before...... Planer, the master of the villain never mentions planer. ”

Li Zhongyi was secretly a little proud, and if he didn't pay attention, he actually became a master of manual planing.

The carpentry work of flat planing belongs to Wang Xiaoyi and his apprentices, and the sharp planer knife needs Xie Xiaosan's help.

Li Zhongyi explained the requirements in detail, and Xie Xiaosan was a little embarrassed when he heard that the upper part of the planer needed to be drilled, and he had to punch a wedge to reinforce it.

"Li Gong, it is said that this planing knife is not big, and it is easy to forge out. It's just that this drilling is really a bit of a hassle. Xie Xiaosan grabbed his head, and after thinking about it carefully, he explained, "Although the stirred iron is somewhat tough, it is easy to break the whole if it is forcibly drilled. ”

After all, Li Zhongyi didn't understand the nature of iron, and let Xie Xiaosan explain it like this, he also felt that he was in trouble.

However, if this problem is not solved, Wang Xiaoyi's work of making arrow shafts is likely to drag down the entire production of feather arrows.

What should I do? Li Zhongyi once again fell into the long exam.

After thinking about it for more than two hours, just when Li Zhongyi was about to despair, Xie Xiaosan suddenly pulled him and said, "The villain has thought of several methods, but none of them are very effective, but there is a way to try." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled and encouraged Xie Xiaosan to continue, Xie Xiaosan was a little embarrassed and said: "Back to Shangguan's words, the villain was also cranky just now, and I don't know if it works." ”

"Hehe, you can say whatever you want, these are all helping me." Li Zhongyi deliberately bit the help very hard, just to encourage Xie Xiaosan to speak his mind boldly.

"Wrought iron is tough, pig iron is too hard, the villain pondered, whether to use thick wrought iron to make a drilled planer first, and then pour pig iron on the blade of the blade, and then polish it, maybe it is a little useful." When Xie Xiaosan said this, his old face turned red and he looked very embarrassed.

Li Zhongyi's eyes lit up immediately, according to Xie Xiaosan, there is a great possibility of success.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you, let's do it first." Li Zhongyi supported Xie Xiaosan's whimsy with practical actions.

Xie Xiaosan was still thoughtful, after the new molten iron came out, he first took care of watering the arrows, and when the molten iron had not completely solidified and completely turned into mature iron, he used tongs to pick up the small piece of wrought iron.

Li Zhongyi stood on the side, looking at Xie Xiaosan intently, holding the iron with tongs with his left hand, and using the big hammer with his right hand, hammering the wrought iron one by one.

Seeing that Xie Xiaosan was a little tired, Li Zhongyi thought it was interesting, so he took the hammer and followed Xie Xiaosan's example, beating wrought iron.

cough, this kind of work is really not a job that Li Zhongyi can do, he only knocked about 20 times, and he already felt that his hands were sore, and he was so tired that he was panting.

Under the hammer, the wrought iron quickly cooled, and Xie Xiaosan grabbed the iron with tongs and threw it into the charcoal stove next to it.

Under the command of Xie Xiaosan, the soldiers worked hard to heat the charcoal stove. After the wrought iron was red, Xie Xiaosan clamped it out of the fire and beat it repeatedly with a sledgehammer.

Xie Xiaosan wielded a small hammer, and a military man picked up a long-handled sledgehammer, you and me, after an hour of hammering, the wrought iron was slowly knocked out of the prototype of the planer.

At this time, a furnace of molten iron came out of the oven, Xie Xiaosan scooped up a pot of molten iron with a crucible, and then picked up the planer knife with tongs, and inserted the blade part into the molten iron.

After about a few breaths, Xie Xiaosan swung the hammer again and began to hit the cutting edge of the planer.

Time passed slowly, and in the end, Xie Xiaosan's hammer struck the first flat blade of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, Wang Xiaoyi, with his apprentice, had also made the carpentry part of the planer.

When it was installed, there was a problem, the planer knife was too long, and the cutting edge was far from the bottom of the planer.

Xie Xiaosan carefully observed the structure of the planer, and after the soldiers pushed the bellows to increase the temperature of the blast furnace, he slaughtered the excess wrought iron with an iron drill and drilled the hole again.

Ok, this time the planer finally went out of the gate, and Li Zhongyi, a layman of carpentry, started a demonstration in front of Wang Xiaoyi on a thick wooden board that had not been shaved off the bark in a hurry.

Although Li Zhongyi's movements are very non-standard, Wang Xiaoyi still exclaimed in surprise, "My God, what a baby, what a baby." ”

Li Zhongyi firmly believes that sharpening knives does not mistakenly chop firewood. The number of skilled craftsmen in his hands is insufficient, and without suitable manufacturing tools, it is impossible to achieve a qualitative leap in the efficiency of making arrows.

Although the planer is clear, when it is used, due to the lack of experience of the craftsmen, it is inevitable that the first knife is very shallow, and the next knife is deep.

However, Li Zhongyi believes that once the carpenters get used to this planing, it is definitely more efficient than using an axe to flatten the bark and small bumps.

With his first experience in making zuò, Wang Xiaoyi instructed his apprentices to build twenty planers overnight.

New saws are available, planers are available, axes are ready-made, and the necessary tools of carpenters are generally alive.

Due to the piles of wood in the workshop, even if the carpenters make mistakes, they are not afraid to waste materials.

Due to the manufacture of arrow shafts, it has become the current bottleneck, Li Zhongyi had to transfer all the craftsmen as much as possible, and follow Wang Xiaoyi to learn to split, saw, and plan.

Due to the lack of craftsmen and the stretch of money, the original assembly line operation was changed by Li Zhongyi to concentrate on doing big things.

In other words, if any process slows down the progress, Li Zhongyi can only send craftsmen there to improve the efficiency of manufacturing.

In fact, early industrialization also began with handicrafts. Improving manual machinery and increasing production efficiency is only one important factor.

A large number of well-trained industrial workers, organized by the modern mode of production, have become a screw in every process, which fundamentally changes the loose production methods of the backward economy of small peasants.

It is no exaggeration to say that this way of organizing workers and concentrating production is of the highest significance.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, in large cities such as Jiangsu and Hangzhou, tens of thousands of handicraft workshops had appeared. Although there was no steam engine, if this highly competitive production model continued, mechanized mass production would appear sooner or later.

It's a pity that the germination of early capitalism in China, due to the emperor's self-righteousness, the collective degeneration and internal strife of the bureaucratic and scholarly groups, led to extremely strict consequences: Li Chuang destroyed the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Sangui led the wild boar skin into the customs!

In a sense, the Northern Song Dynasty also died in party disputes, and Song Huizong and Song Qinzong formed their own parties, only fighting for power and profit, and fighting each other, but unable to gather national strength and fight against Jin Yu. r1152
