Chongzhen opened his mouth, and Zhu Shun couldn't refuse, so he reluctantly went to the Yamen of Shuntianfu and signed the deed of the arms company with the word Zhu Shun.

It's just that the word company makes many officials in the yamen feel weird, but it is rare for Song Yingjing, who has not gone to the counties to inspect in the yamen, to know that this is the name of the Westerner's hall and shop.

Zhu Shun and Song Yingjing talked a few words, the tea that had just been poured was still steaming, Song Yingjing hurriedly went out again, took the officers and soldiers drawn from the inspection departments of Shuntian Mansion, and rushed to Deshengdian in Wen'an County, where a few small streams of rogue appeared.

Zhu Shun looked at the back of his uncle Song Yingjing's hurried steps, and his calm face showed a trace of solemnity: "Shuntianfu has begun to appear in various places, and it is necessary to continue to speed up the industrialization process." ”

Putting down the white porcelain teacup of the official kiln in his hand, Zhu Shun walked out of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, sat on the blue silk Hunan embroidered sedan chair and immediately returned to Wang Gong's Bureau.

From today onwards, the Wang Gong Bureau no longer exists, and it has become Wang Gong Factory again, merged into the 24th Yamen Military Bureau, and officially taken over by Wang Chengen.

Zhu Yu, the head of Wang Gong's gun factory, was promoted to the county governor of Miyun County, and Zhao Doumi, the head of the gun factory, was also promoted and served as a governor of Yintai.

It's just a spare job, and I usually stay in the arms company to study new firearms.

Most of the craftsmen in Wang Gong's bureau are young craftsmen who have received Zhu Shun's favor, and now they have become young craftsmen, and most of them are still skilled craftsmen.

Before Zhu Yu took office, he left a list of trustworthy craftsmen, and the arms company needed a large number of skilled workers, so he stayed in the arms company with a monthly salary higher than the original one.

The problem of skilled workers was basically solved, and Zhu Shun called Li Zhouqiao and asked him to arrange a genius student who was good at architecture to send a group of skilled workers to build the munitions company as soon as possible.

Within a few days, the genius student brought the design drawings to Zhu Shun, stood on the bank of the Yongding River, and said: "Chief Shan, the new site of the munitions company has been selected next to the Beiping Machinery Bureau. ”

"Located in the northeastern area of the industrial city in the future, the gun factory and gun factory of the munitions company are here, and the gunpowder factory is built outside the industrial city, twenty miles north of the industrial city, to prevent the tragedy of the apocalypse explosion."

"After the Wang Gong Bureau was dismantled, the equipment used to make gunpowder inside could still be used, and it could be moved directly to the gunpowder factory."

Zhu Shun carefully looked at the construction plan of the munitions company, the design was very perfect, and there was nothing that needed to be modified, so he handed it back to the genius student: "The construction will start tomorrow." ”

The genius student didn't expect that his drawings had nothing to change, and he was greatly recognized by the mountain chief, and after being excited, he quickly left Baifu and went back to select a team of skilled workers with the best skills.

The next day began to build, the auspicious day of the zodiac is not able to choose, choose an auspicious time, bamboo and wood masons put down the incense case, worship the ancestor Luban, and began to break ground.

It's not the first time Zhu Shun has seen others worship the ancestor, hundreds of craftsmen are holding incense candles and bowing to a statue of the ancestor on the incense table, which is very spectacular.

The ancestor is also very interesting, the ancestor of the warehouse worship is Han Xin, the ancestor of the straw shoemaker is Sun Bin, and the most interesting thing is that the dart line and the bandits worship the same ancestor master, Dharma.

Zhu Shun thought that the two opponents of the dart bandits, there was actually the same ancestor master, or Dharma, and he couldn't help but smile.

A month later.

The walls were made of cement, the ground was made of cement, the houses were still made of cement, and a cement gunpowder factory had a rough framework.

Zhu Shun began to personally supervise the construction of some details, and the safety of the gunpowder factory was in these details, as long as the details were dealt with, there would basically be no explosion.

Even if there was an explosion, it was only a small explosion, and the gunpowder workers could save their lives through these details.

Zhu Shun walked into the gunpowder factory with a rattan hat, and the cement laid inside, only a few main roads were condensed and could leave, and other places were still paved with straw.

In order to build a gunpowder factory as soon as possible, the genius student eats and lives here, and he hasn't slept well for a month, and when he saw Zhu Shun coming, he rubbed his eyes and greeted him: "Mountain Chief." ”

Zhu Shun nodded, looked at the gunpowder workshop with a brick arch structure in front of him and said, "Tell me about the situation of the gunpowder factory." ”

When it comes to the gunpowder factory, the genius student quickly comes to the spirit: "In order to avoid the explosion of gunpowder, the gunpowder factory must be perfect in three aspects." ”

"First of all, to prevent water from running away, there must be nothing in the entire gunpowder workshop that could produce sparks, except for flint and fire folds, which are not allowed to be carried in the steam mill."

"Iron, bronze, and even stones that fall to the ground to produce sparks are not allowed to be brought into the gunpowder workshop."

The issue of fire prevention is indeed a top priority, and the manufacture of gunpowder will also fill the entire workshop with flammable and explosive dust, but the concentration is much lower than that of the steam mill.

However, the nature of dust is different, and saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal are easy to explode in the gunpowder workshop, even if the concentration is low, as long as there are sparks, it is easy to explode.

The genius pointed to the ground of the gunpowder workshop and continued: "This is still not enough, so the students replaced the ground of the gunpowder workshop from the original cement floor with a layer of finely screened river sand. ”

"Even if iron and bronze tools fall on the ground, they will not produce sparks, and more importantly, river sand can also absorb acid, alkali and medicinal chips that fall on the ground."

"If we do a good job in these two aspects, the problems of water diversion and explosion in the gunpowder workshop can basically be solved."

Zhu Shun looked at the ground of the workshop, and the spacious and bright ground of the gunpowder workshop was indeed covered with a layer of river sand.

In addition, rows of willow shutters were built above the gunpowder workshop to ventilate and reduce the concentration of gunpowder powder.

The cement walls of the gunpowder factory are very high, reaching four meters, one to prevent theft, and the other to keep out the wind, because the walls of the gunpowder factory are all panes that can be pushed open.

The entrance of the gunpowder workshop at Zhu Shun Station is actually a cement bridge, and the edge of the gunpowder workshop is a circle of trenches.

This is an escape ditch designed by a genius student, and in the event of an explosion, the gunsmith can quickly push open the pane and jump into the escape ditch.

The genius student really did the best in terms of details, pointed to a cement road specially designed for transportation, and said: "Mountain chief, if there is a bump in the process of carrying gunpowder, it may also explode due to collision. ”

"This concrete road is specially used to transport gunpowder, and people are sent to clean it every day to prevent stones and wooden blocks from falling on it."

Seeing this, Zhu Shun couldn't find any flaws, patted the genius student's shoulder and left here.

The genius student was stunned for a moment, and soon showed a flattered expression, and was stupidly happy for a long time.
