When Zhu Shun returned to the construction site of the industrial city, a cement road about 40 meters wide had been completely solidified, and the skilled workers were clearing the straw laid on the cement road.

This 40-meter-wide cement road was designed by Zhu Shun himself and built according to the standards of the later expressways, and later became one of the main roads of the industrial city.

There are a total of nine districts in the industrial city, each of which is equivalent to an upper county, which cannot be built overnight, and only the eastern district is built for the time being.

The northeast and southeast areas were not built, and only a tall, wide and thick cement wall was built on the outside, forming a zigzag shape.

To the east of the mezi, there is also a mezi on the bank of the Yongding River, which is an industrial park after the industrial city.

The residential area and the industrial park are separated by a 40-meter-wide cement main road.

In the northern part of the industrial park, a steam spinning mill has been built with cement, and the ground has been hardened with cement, and yarn is being produced continuously.

In the central area of the industrial park, cement factories have also been built with cement, and the whole market is a shuttle weaving factory, and a large piece of cloth is transported from the pony head on the shore of the eastern district to all parts of Shuntianfu.

In the southern part of the industrial park, that is, the lower reaches of the Yongding River, the cement reconstruction of the Beiping Machinery General Bureau and the arms company were built here.

The gunpowder factory is in the process of improving some details, but the gun factory and gun factory have been officially completed, and the steam plant is also being built rapidly after a large number of skilled workers have been transferred.

Cement plants, ore steam plants, and chemical plants that would later be used to produce chemical products such as sulfuric acid were built next to the Chaohe River in Tongzhou to avoid endangering the health of workers.

It was not until the beginning of winter that the official construction was successful.

During this period of time, Xu Jixin, the seventh disciple who likes to win first in everything, gave Zhu Shun a great news and researched carbon spring steel.

More advanced firearms often require more perfect industrial conditions, and one of the biggest defects of the Doumi rifle is that the steel of the fine parts such as hammers and reeds does not meet the requirements, and there is a certain chance of causing dumb fire.

Xu Jixin researched the spring steel, and solved this problem, making up for the last shortcoming of the doumi rifle, the problem of dumb fire.

Chongzhen's seven years brought surprises to Zhu Shun, and there are many more.

The construction of the steam plant was successful, Zhao Doumi found Zhu Shun, and bowed generously: "Master, the gun factory and gun factory of the munitions company have been completely completed. ”

Zhu Shun had been waiting for the construction of the gun factory and gun factory of the munitions company to be completed, and Man Gui and Huang Degong had been collecting the silver for the Suifa smoothbore gun, and they had not yet produced one.

The flintlock smoothbore gun in the hands of the eldest brother Cao Wenzhao has basically reached the end of its service life, and it needs to be replaced with a new flintlock smoothbore gun, otherwise it will be easy to explode.

Cao Wenzhao and Huang Degong, these generals who were bent on serving the country and desperately resisting Jiannu, were waiting for the establishment of the gun factory and artillery factory of the munitions company, and with advanced firearms, they could kill the prestige of Jiannu in Liaodong.

Zhu Shun and his disciple Zhao Doumi walked out of Baifu, passed through Xiaomatou, not far from the hall of Jingshi University, and took a canopy boat to Matou, the southeast district of the industrial park.

Got out of the canopy boat and walked to the arms company.

The appearance of the arms company is very simple, with a tall cement wall, a circle of barbed wire, an iron gate, and no other decoration, not even a stone lion.

Inside the munitions company, a main road about 20 meters wide divides the munitions company into north and south sides, with a gun factory on one side and a gun factory on the other.

The munitions company occupies a large area, more than a dozen steam workshops have been built in the gun factory, and a large area of open space remains.

Zhu Shun followed Zhao Doumi to the first steam workshop, and saw something very familiar inside: "Rolling mill? ”

Zhao Doumi walked over and gently stroked this new type of steam machinery, with a hint of fascination on his face: "The teacher guessed well, it is the rolling mill." ”

"It's just that it wasn't invented by us, it's a new rolling mill invented by Cassdeley, a Westerner from the Beiyang Naval Academy."

The emergence of this new type of rolling mill far exceeded Zhu Shun's expectations, and in his plan, it was not possible until at least ten years after Chongzhen's reign.

Although Leonardo da Vinci designed the mill more than 100 years ago, it was a relatively primitive mill, and was used to mill gold and silver coins at most.

This new mill was different, not only for rolling the steel plates used in steam engine ships, but also for rolling something of great significance for guns.

Seamless steel pipe.

Zhao Doumi's words immediately confirmed Zhu Shun's thoughts: "Master, this kind of rolling mill can roll 15 mm seamless steel pipes. ”

"In the future, the manufacture of gun barrels, the degree of sophistication and speed have been qualitatively improved, reaching an unimaginable level."

Zhu Shun couldn't help but walk over and touch the cold steel machinery, but his mood was unusually hot.

It took a long time for the two to leave the mill steam shop, and with a high spirit, they went to the second steam shop, which was used to forge precision parts such as hammers, reeds, and movement brakes.

In the past, forging was done by hand, and the yield was very low and the quality was uneven.

Now it has also become a steam production, and the mechanical punch has also been studied.

On the hardened concrete floor, steel machines are neatly placed, glowing with a shiny black luster.

Zhao Doumi looked at the mechanical punches invented by Wang Zheng, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face: "Master, these mechanical punches can stamping about 5 mm of carbon spring steel into movement parts." ”

"Not only is the quality of the movement parts produced, but the quantity has also started to increase explosively, and we can keep up with the speed of the rolling mill."

Along the cement road, Zhu Shun and Zhao Doumi came to the third steam workshop.

There is also a steam building and new machinery, but it is not used to process steel.

There are mechanical sawing machines for processing bucket rice rifles.

In the fourth steam room, there are Iowa rifling machines, which are equipped with hard, high-carbon steel cutter heads, which can process rifling faster.

All the parts of the doumi rifle are finally collected in the No. 5 steam shop, where the final processing is carried out.

Carbon spring steel, mechanical rolling mill, and mechanical punch have already given Zhu Shun enough surprises, but what he didn't expect was that the second disciple Song Shihui also invented the conveyor.

The water tower transportation system connects the various production processes of the ore plant into a whole, which is the beginning of the factory era.

This conveyor is a series of mechanical rolling mills, mechanical punching machines, mechanical sawing machines, and Iowa rifling machines into a complete set of ecosystems for continuous production.

Each military workshop is no longer a separate individual, but has become a close whole.

Jiannu has established the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and Beihaier Lake has become the granary of Jiannu.

The expedition of the Eight Banners to Siberia has completely captured Central Siberia.

Chen Bing Yenisei River.

It's only 3,000 miles from Europa.

What Zhu Shun saw today was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty.

Military.

Formal industrialization.
