Chapter 483: The Fur Machine Comes Out!
The so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of which are different.
When Li Shouhan saw Li Huashi in an oil-stained and twisted overalls and a head full of iron straw sticks in the workshop manufactured by Ha Jing, and he mingled with Pascal and others among the craftsmen with the same costume, Rao is he also knew a little about this son on weekdays, but today's scene really shocked his jaw and about to fall!
Li Huashi was born by Tianzhu Orchid. In appearance, he inherited his mother's slender and well-proportioned figure, and was born with a pair of delicate and handsome facial features. Belongs to the kind of person who can immediately pounce on him as soon as he is seen by a talent scout on the street to take him to an audition and sign a contract.
However, compared with several brothers and sisters, Li Huashi is an elm pimple. He has no military talents, nor is he good at managing political affairs, and even the monthly pocket money accounts are a mess of management. In the end, I asked the second sister Li Huaying to take care of this little money for him, and see if there is anything that can be invested in the second brother-in-law or other business to earn some dividends and dividends.
However, if God closes one door, it will surely open two windows for you. Although he has no military and political talents, he does not have the ambition of his brothers to swallow Unai, and he is not like the eldest sister, who takes it as fun to go in and out of the waves. But he also has a knack that other children can't match! Because his mother is from Tianzhu, Li Huayu has been no stranger to the so-called Arabic numerals since he was a child, and he is even quite close. When he was a little older, he went to school with his brothers. Soon, he discovered his talent in mathematics and manufacturing, and when he grew up, he took it for fun. Every day, I kept drawing some strange drawings and asking the craftsmen to create them.
For this reason, I don't know how much money was spent, how many times I was coaxed, and his mother didn't know how many times she shed tears in front of Yan Mei'er. But. Yan Mei'er is very generous, "The horizontal and vertical children didn't mess around, but they just made some utensils." Isn't it also because of the whimsy and skillful hands of the craftsmen that our master can have this family business? "Whenever she finished saying this, Yan Mei'er would instruct the bookkeeper to allocate another monthly amount of silver to the seventh young master to spend it from her name.
There's a lot of these things. It will inevitably reach Li Shouhan's ears, and some people say that there can be no people like Song Huizong and Emperor Tianqi in the lord's house, and the seventh young master should be allowed to go to the army to experience more training, and so on, after hearing it, Li Shouhan also smiled indifferently, and just ordered someone to allocate some silver money to the seventh Li Huashi every month for him to do all kinds of research and calculations.
But I don't want to meet the father and son unexpectedly in the workshop made by Hejing today!
Li Shouhan today is a light car, only taking Li Peilin and Yin Lei, Shang Feng and others who have just returned to their homeland from the land of Fusang, as well as the English envoy Winstanley, who has been staying in Nanzhong with a dead face and refusing to leave, and the Ottoman envoy Koplulu and others. Accompanied by Feng Mofeng and others, I went to several workshops made by Hejing to see what the company I built by myself looks like now.
Among them, it is not like these people from afar to show off their strength, so as to strengthen their belief in Nanzhong in their hearts.
In fact, Li Shouhan doesn't have to be like this. Not to mention that Yin Lei and Shang Feng came from a technological and social level close to the Neolithic Age, even Winstanley and Koplulu. These days, I have traveled all over the south and central China, and I have seen and heard. It was already a five-body shock to them.
However, as Mr. Ma said, existence determines consciousness. The two are in different positions, and naturally focus on different directions. In the eyes of Winstanley, the ancestor of the British "digging school", the practice of reclamation and opening large farms and farms in various parts of South and Central China was carried out. He was inspired. He even made up his mind that as soon as the fighting at home ceased, he would make a proposal to His Majesty that he should take the landless peasants of England to Ireland to reclaim the land.
However, Ireland's wasteland is limited. You English go to Ireland to reclaim the wilderness, what will the Irish do? That's not what Winstanley was thinking.
In the eyes of Koplulu, he was inspired by the law and order battles that Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi fought in various parts of the South Seas. He was going to take the medicine as he was supposed to do, and apply similar tactics to those fierce and brave mountain people.
For this reason, he was very serious to Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi, two guys whose hands were stained with ****** blood from all over the South Seas, Wu Liuqi also knew everything and said everything, how to block the road, cut off traffic, block the entry of various materials, and then gradually go deeper, control the key points, narrow the scope of activities, and finally force the opponent to come out of the favorable terrain and have a hopeless decisive battle with the attacking troops. The mortar cannon used to break through the castle will be like hot oil poured into a rat hole, destroying these dead creatures one by one.
And Zheng Sen, the son-in-law of the Eastern Sovereign, inspired Koplulu's thinking from another direction.
The regime went to the countryside, controlled trade, promoted education, judged conventions, values centered on cultural identity, and used a lot of puppet armies.
Recruiting a large number of fierce mountain people and Japanese mercenaries to serve as cannon fodder was a plan that Koplulu had long laid out, but how to ensure the loyalty of these natives was a difficult problem that had always plagued him.
"It's simple." Zheng Sen blinked, "You gave them the property of those rebels, made them have vested interests, and their hands were stained with the blood of their opponents, with their tradition of blood revenge, it would be difficult for them not to follow you to the end!" ”
"And these people will also become the vanguard, killing rebels for fear of not being killed, and they will not be killed, because if you fail, you can retreat to Istanbul, and they have nowhere to run from their hometown. If you don't want to die, you can only swing the blade at the heads of those rebels to save your life. ”
Zheng Sen had no scruples about telling these experiences that pointed to the darkest part of the human heart to Koplulu. In front of him, the heads of the sultans who were entrenched in various parts of the South Seas, the backbone of the rebellion who were escorted to the deep mountains and old forests in the south to engage in the most clumsy and dangerous manual labor such as mining and logging, and the native officials who followed closely behind Bai Xingjiu, all silently acted as the textbook of Koplulu.
A large number of volunteers viciously swung their swords at those who believed in Allah or Suko, whether they believed in Allah or Sukor as much as they did. Some of the volunteers even burned the church and the mosque to the ground. Then he applauded and laughed as he watched these rebellious nests turn into white ground.
All of these were recorded one by one by Koplulu. In his writings, he does not seem to take into account the resentment of the pagans who also believe in the true God. Rather, the efficiency of these means is carefully documented.
As he was sorting through his notes from these days in front of a glass lamp, he asked himself if His Majesty the Sultan had given him enough power, he could quickly put down the rebellion in Greece and the Balkans in a short time, and then make the Ottoman Empire a majestic lion again!
However, when he walked into the workshop of Ha Jing Manufacturing with Li Shouhan's vehicle today. An even greater shock awaited him ahead.
Walking through the doors of this non-trivial workshop, Copleru, like Winstanley, was shocked by the scene before him. The wide, thick roads are paved with burnt ash mixed with gravel and sand, and it looks like they are thick. However, the long rails are completely laid on the burnt ash pavement, which is enough to recognize the thickness of the pavement from one angle.
From time to time, officials and slaves drove mules and horses, pulling heavy vehicles to and fro on the tracks, which were designed to be double-tracked, and the heavy wheels rubbed against the rails when they were crushed over the tracks. There was a loud rumbling noise. The vehicles are either the materials needed everywhere, iron, coal, or the finished products completed in the previous link, which are transported to the next link for further processing.
It looked like at least thousands of pounds of materials and products were dragged by a few mules and horses to and fro on the criss-crossing railroad tracks, and Coplulu's jaw almost fell to the top of his feet. In the case of the Ottomans, such material required at least dozens of slaves to drive a dozen cattle and horses shouting trumpets to barely walk. How can it be so light and fast as it is today?
Compared to the impact that the rails brought to them. It is not surprising that the trees on both sides of the road are used to divide the working areas and are also planted for sound absorption and dust reduction.
However, compared with Li Shouhan's surprise, the two guys Coplelulu and Winstanley, as well as Yin Lei and Shang Feng, who had two eyes that didn't know where to look for a long time. It's insignificant.
Li Huashi, who was arguing fiercely with Pascal, Torricari, Fermat and others, still found out that his father had arrived at him under the prompting of several craftsmen who kept squeezing their eyebrows and gesturing at him.
"I've seen my father!" Although all of Li Huashi's ingenuity has been concentrated in physics, mathematics and manufacturing, this etiquette has been taught by him since he was a child, and it has become a kind of nature like eating and sleeping. Even if you kneel on the ground and say hello to your father.
"You don't have a good discussion of science with these gentlemen at school. But what are you doing here? Li Shouhan's reprimand was full of spoiling, and he turned a blind eye to his children's hobbies, as long as they were not things that violated the law and basic moral standards of society, and did not threaten the lives of himself and others. Whether it is the giant ship cannon that Li Huamei likes, or the siege of cities that Li Huayu and Li Huabao like, or the expansion of territory by Li Huaxuan and others, he is happy to see it.
"Father is not in the mansion to discuss the military budget for the coming year with your uncles, but what is he doing here?" Li Huashi stuck out his tongue and fought with his father haha.
"Less nonsense, it's you Lao Tzu and I'll ask you!" Li Shouhan straightened his face and showed his father's majesty.
"That's right," Seeing that his father's face was not good, Li Huashi immediately became honest. "Pascal modified the air compressor developed by Mr. Torricelli to develop a hydraulic press, and I asked a few masters to help make a sample, which is running a test for a few days, so my son has been staying here. I don't want my father to come today. ”
Although Pascal is young, his personal academic achievements have already entered Li Shouhan's field of vision. The results of several theoretical studies have also been rapidly transformed into productivity and combat effectiveness. When his name is mentioned, in the Southern Guangdong Army, whether it is Zhang Xiaohu and other Qiyue of the Navy Division, or rising stars such as Li Huamei and Shi Lang, or state and county officials in various places, and even village and town mayors, they are all in awe.
He conceived and conducted experiments on the measurement of atmospheric pressure at different altitudes in the same area, and found that with the decrease in altitude. The law of increasing atmospheric pressure. In the years he spent in Nanzhong, relying on the large amount of money provided by the royal government to the university for the Maple Ridge Laboratory, Pascal was able to continue experimenting, and through the data obtained in the experiments, he continued to make new discoveries, to give the simplest and most commonplace example, after he improved the mercury barometer of Torricelli. After detailed measurement of atmospheric pressure changes at the same location, he became the founder of weather forecasting using barometers.
His invention provided a sentinel that could give early warning to Nanzhong Agriculture, which was on the verge of the sea and was always facing typhoons and rains, and also found a helper for Li Huamei, a sailor soldier, who could observe the changes in the wind and clouds at sea.
Sextants, theodolites, and barometers are now several important instruments and equipment necessary for sailors to go to sea. Relying on these equipment, the sailors of the Nanyue Army had the confidence to cross the ocean and go to the hometown of Fusang.
I can hear Li Huashi say this. Seeing Feng Mofeng nodding on the side again, Li Shouhan also smiled slightly. Li Huashi's deeds just provide a good footnote and example for him to put forward the "combination of two references, one change, and three combinations." ("Two references" means that cadres participate in production and labor, and workers participate in enterprise management; "One change" is to reform the unreasonable rules and regulations in the enterprise; The "three combinations" refer to the implementation of the principle of combining the leading cadres, technical personnel, and workers of enterprises in the course of technological reform. Although this has been ignored for many years, a good thing is a good thing. Not long ago, I saw the corporate philosophy of Google Inc., five hours of basic working time. Two hours for personal hobbies and one hour for management and staff interaction. Suddenly, the unkind author almost went to Comrade Li Desheng to cry. What you promoted back then was plagiarized by this group of devils, and you didn't go to them to ask for royalties? Aren't they the most important thing to pay attention to intellectual property protection!? )
With a person like Li Huashi, the theoretical research results of Pascal and others can be quickly brought to the workshop for testing, and the craftsmen can be immediately communicated with each other if they have any ideas and suggestions for improvement. Even if there is no money for a while, Li Huashi can take out his monthly silver to maintain it temporarily.
Watching Torricelli, Fermat, Pascal and others still immersed in the infinite imagination of technology. There were also arguments with several fanatics among the craftsmen, how to adjust the angle, how to improve the structure, so that the hydraulic press could better exert all its power, which suddenly made Li Shouhan a little interested.
"Come on. Demonstrate it to my father! ”
A copper plate was placed on the anvil, and as the water flow gradually strengthened, the huge momentum gathered, and several craftsmen carefully operated the strength arm to slowly lower the hammer and stamped the originally flat copper plate into the style of a marching pot, but the pot ears and chains were missing. But in comparison, the kind of product that can only be formed after casting or knocking for a long time, although this copper pot is still at a relatively rough level in Li Shouhan's eyes, it also saves a lot of things.
"The tolerances are still relatively large, and we can't standardize them as much as possible. It seems that it can only be used to make helmets, breastplates, iron pots, etc., and those delicate objects still cannot be manufactured by this hydraulic press. ”
Li Shouhan, who is always greedy in the technical field, has no idea how many people's jobs will be threatened once this hydraulic press is officially put into operation. He was just there lamenting that until the steam engine was settled, the hydraulic press could only be used to make these crudely clumsy objects.
"Father, we still have some good things, I'm going to ask you to take a look." After muttering a few words in a low voice with Torricari, Feng Mofeng and others, Li Huashi whispered in Li Shouhan's ear with a smile.
"What's good?"
Li Shouhan instinctively felt that his son was only afraid that he would show him something shocking.
Holding this firearm in his hand, which was cherished by Feng Mofeng and others, Li Shouhan waved his hand, signaling the people next to him not to speak yet, he wanted to discover the difference of this firearm by himself. At first glance, the trigger and the faucet are not much different from other firearms. But if you look closely, there is a small rocker arm on the guard of the trigger, and the rocker arm can be found, and the chamber of the gun opens as the rocker arm rotates!
"From here you can reload the gun, pour the gunpowder, and then rotate it to reset. Pour a small amount of gunpowder into the powder pool and you're ready to go! It's a lot less than the previous firecracker! Li Huashi, who was anxious to offer treasure to his father, saw that his father had discovered the difference of this firecracker, so he immediately described the follow-up operation process to his father.
"The new gun is loaded by pressing a trigger-like spring hook under the stock, opening the bolt, and then lifting the bolt upwards so that the muzzle is tilted upwards. After that, a certain amount of ****** is loaded into the chamber and the projectile is pushed to the deepest part of the chamber with your fingers. When the bolt is locked, the firearm is in a state of readiness. This is what we came up with according to the idea of the Franc machine gun put forward by He Yingguan that day. Officer He Yingguan has carried out many tests with a sentinel, and if he practices more, the reloading of this Franc machine gun will be several times faster than the front-loading gun we are equipped with now. ”
Compared with Li Huashi, who spoke in an ominous manner, Feng Mofeng was much more experienced. He instructed Li Shouhan to carefully examine each part of the fire gun, and explained to him the power of this new gun. (To be continued.) )
PS: Continue to ask for a monthly pass.
