Chapter 060: The New Life of the Artisan Family (Part II)
"Now that you all know in your hearts, the benefits of preparing for the construction of windmills, and according to the different properties of windmills, derive, supervise and build, a series of reprocessing that is beneficial to people's livelihood!
If there are already improvements in this area, why can't we turn it into forging? Zhao Zongwu looked like he hated iron but not steel.
"What is the principle of a hydro mill?
Isn't that the replacement of traditional animal power with the same kinetic energy?
Under such a premise, we can induce this practice to be able to make greater use of food, so why can't iron?
In traditional warfare, we all know the difference between a 100-for-steel knife and a 10-for-steel knife.
However, because of the secret of the technique and the difficulty of the forging process, the traditional hundred refining is very rare.
The craftsman calcines the iron material at a very high temperature through a hammer, and truly forges impurities through thousands of hammers, so as to achieve the purpose of refining into steel!
So why can't we use hydraulic forging? ”
At the beginning, because there were so many things that needed to be dealt with, even if Zhao Zongwu had such a concept in his heart, he only hastily put forward a few plans after all.
Rectifying the Jinzhou area, reorganizing the army of Donghai Town, and organizing the ocean-going fleet of Wadao Island, one by one, restrained Zhao Zongwu's energy.
But now Zhao Zongwu is focusing on specific infrastructure construction, which also allows some advanced concepts stored in his mind to be released.
Touchscape release!
Zhao Zongwu's words just now made Chen Xiong, Shi Kefa and other people present feel a shock in their hearts!
So it can still be like this!
That's it!
Why didn't you think of such a method!
It's like piercing the last layer of window paper, and the few craftsmen who were already following behind, after hearing Zhao Zongwu's proposal, they should even fall into thinking!
So it can still be like this!
"According to what happened above, we can fix one or more hammers and use this constant kinetic energy to keep pounding!
According to the same frequency, the same rhythm, and the high temperature firing next to it, it will inevitably be able to temper different steel needs!
At that time, such as windmill bearings, steel forging, etc., can be effectively solved! ”
Zhao Zongwu made a gesture in his hand, and made it clear the foundation of the water forging machine in one word.
It was also under such circumstances that a young craftsman who followed behind said with excitement in his eyes and in an excited tone: "Since such a situation can be done!"
Then we can completely stamping the armor in the way of hydraulic stamping!
The degree of resistance of such armor is much stronger than that of hand-forging! ”
In the face of the young craftsman's words, the craftsmen who came after him were all shocked, not because of how good the conclusion was proposed, but because he did not pay attention to the reckless words of the occasion!
Although the status of craftsmen in Donghai Town has been greatly improved, how can the ideas that have been circulated for thousands of years change accordingly because of this short period of time?
It all takes time to settle down.
"Xu Jia! Don't be presumptuous! An elderly craftsman immediately scolded.
As he spoke, he made a gesture to step forward and pull Xu Jia away.
Zhao Zongwu stretched out his hand and gestured: "Wait! His proposal was great! ”
Hearing Xu Jia's proposal, Zhao Zongwu was very surprised, he didn't expect that he was just putting forward a concept, but he could still put forward such an advanced idea, this is really a good talent!
"Your name is Xu Jia?" I saw Zhao Zongwu frowning slightly, and with exploration in his words, he looked at the young craftsman.
Xu Jia's actions were slightly excited, but his words were neither humble nor arrogant: "The little one is Xu Jia!" ”
"Xu Jia, your proposal is an idea you made before?" Slowly walked towards Xu Jia, with peace in his words.
Xu Jia nodded heavily, and his words were excited: "Back to adults!"
It's really been a small idea for many years.
According to the armor worn by the current Ming army, it can be roughly divided into: cotton armor, chain mail, iron armor, etc.
Armor in the army is subdivided according to the size of authority.
Take the small soldier standard cotton armor as an example, take seven catties of cotton, sew it with cloth such as a jacket, pass the two arms, kick it solid with your feet, take it as the degree of not fat and swollen, dry it and collect it, see that the rain is not heavy, the mildew is not rotten, and the bird can not be seriously injured.
But in terms of protection, in the face of the well-equipped Jiannu, it will inevitably be invincible!
Why did the soldiers of the Ming army repeatedly defeat in the battle against Jiannu?
One of the points is that the soldiers of our Ming army are not equipped with excellent armor!
As a result, in the hand-to-hand combat, they failed to effectively protect their own vital points!
As for other types of armor, the energy and silver that cost are not a few!
But if you can use the least consumption, the simplest process, and the best proportion of the way to group and build a first, what kind of situation will it be? ”
From the perspective of craftsmen, the reason for the defeat of the war was that the Ming army was not well-equipped, and most of the soldiers in the army did not wear armor.
Although it is one-sided, it is also comprehensive.
In the era of cold weapons, the amount of armor worn by the soldiers on both sides of the battle will directly affect the final chance of victory.
According to Xu Jia's reminder, Zhao Zongwu obviously thought of stamping plate armor, and through the assembly line process, a standardized operation was formed, which also greatly reduced the difficulty of armor preparation!
There is no need for such complicated processes, just protect the vital points of the soldiers and enhance the survival rate of the soldiers on the battlefield, then Zhao Zongwu's goal will be achieved.
The soldiers who can fight and survive on the battlefield have greatly enhanced their survivability, combat ability, and on-the-spot adaptability compared with the new recruits who have just entered the battlefield!
"Good! Very good! Very good! Zhao Zongwu praised without hesitation in his words, and pointed to Xu Jia who was beside him and said: "Xu Jia has a lot of ideas!" Also very capable! ”
For his subordinates who have ideas and abilities, Zhao Zongwu will definitely not let them go, since he has the ability, he should go to the position where he should go!
In Donghai Town, there is no seniority, Donghai Town has always been based on the pattern of the capable, the mediocre, and the mediocre!
"Xu Jia, are you willing to return to Jinzhou with Ben and be responsible for stamping the armor?" Zhao Zongwu was approachable and discussed with Xu Jia.
Hearing this, everyone present knew that Xu Jia's future achievements were absolutely limitless!
Zhao Zongwu has always attached great importance to how to improve the weapons of the army in Donghai Town, in addition to the necessary firearms development, he also attaches great importance to the upgrading of cold weapons.
If you want to complete the conversion of hot and cold, there is a large gap in the middle, and for such a gap period, you must use sophisticated cold weapons to deter!
Blindly developing firearms would be a bad practice.
Therefore, Zhao Zongwu attaches great importance to talented craftsmen, and constantly consolidates the core of Donghai Town through the foundation of basic industry!
Although the Golden State stall is small, it is very big!
