Chapter 1047: Steam Engine (3) (Page 1/1)

Mao Wenlong compared the drawings of the steam engine, and soon found that the steam engine had been built, and now only assembly remained, but Xin Wei said that it would take at least a month to complete.

It would take a month to assemble such a steam engine, and it was all the same. The manpower and material resources of the entire academy are revolving around this, but such a situation occurs, and Mao Wenlong feels that he can't accept it.

Xin Wei's face was full of bitterness, and he explained: "Chief soldier, the assembly of this steam engine is not difficult, and the most important thing now is the polishing of these parts. Because it requires skilled and experienced people to polish it by hand, it takes a long time. In fact, the steam engine was built half a year ago, and the rest of the time was spent polishing. ”

After Xin Wei's explanation, Mao Wenlong immediately noticed that some of the parts of the steam engine in front of him were indeed very rough inside. Touching his chin, Mao Wenlong asked in a condensed voice: "In this way, the most difficult and time-consuming thing now is polishing, right?" ”

This time, Xin Wei did not answer, but Zhang Kui replied: "What the general soldier said is extremely true, now more than 100 experienced craftsmen are working day and night, but there is still no way to shorten the time for polishing. ”

Mao Wenlong suddenly realized that this was the result of starting from scratch without following the rules. The rise of industrialization is by no means completed overnight, and the emergence of the steam engine proves that the Ming Dynasty is making rapid leaps towards industrialization, but it is still just beginning. There is still a big gap with Mao Wenlong's previous fantasy of entering the era of industrialization in an all-round way.

Without electricity, the steam engine could not be mass-produced, and now only water and wind power are available. After thinking deeply, Mao Wenlong said: "It seems that I was too idealistic before, of course, we have not learned to walk, and we have already begun to look forward to flying in the sky." Maybe everything should be started all over again, and the foundation should be polished in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Xin Wei and Zhang Kui faced each other, and after the two exchanged glances, they still didn't know what Mao Wenlong meant just now? Xin Wei hesitated to open his mouth to ask Mao Wenlong for help, but Zhang Kui was thinking about what Mao Wenlong said just now. Just when the two of them were silent in their own thoughts, Mao Wenlong suddenly turned around and returned to the hall outside.

In the bright hall, there were more than 200 people busy, and Mao Wenlong took a closer look. Finding that these people were indeed polishing the parts of the steam engine, looking at these people in front of him, using the most primitive grinding tools, grinding little by little with his hands, Mao Wenlong suddenly felt very painful.

With such a simple grinding procedure, he can use wind or water power to carry out semi-mechanical operations, thus saving most of the manpower. Even if it is poor, it is many times better to use cattle and horses as power than to use manpower.

I always thought that Weihaiwei's academy was the most advanced place in the entire Ming Dynasty today, but now it seems. Mao Wenlong felt that it was not the case, and with the technology he saw in the academy at present, it was actually much more backward than many ancient legends. The Lu Family Gang alone can be compared to today's academies.

Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong felt the need to find the heirs of the Lu family gang. Although he doesn't know if there are any heirs of the current Lu Family Gang alive, Mao Wenlong feels that he still needs to try to find it.

Waving his hand to beckon Xin Wei and Zhang Kui, Mao Wenlong said in a deep voice: "This kind of polishing method is not feasible, you two will gather a group of craftsmen to stand by tomorrow, and then the general army will give you some drawings of equipment, so that these craftsmen must be built within two days." ”

Xin Wei and Zhang Kui were stunned for a moment, and the two wanted to ask what Mao Wenlong was going to do? was stunned by the serious expression on his face, and he couldn't open his mouth at all.

Mao Wenlong obviously had something in his heart, and he didn't have time to talk to the two of them anymore, and after explaining the matter, he asked Xin Wei to take him back to the place where he lived. After that, he drove Xin Wei away, closed the door and stayed in the house, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

Looking at the closed wooden door, Xin Wei was confused, but he didn't dare to ask Mao Wenlong for an explanation. He had no choice but to leave, and first find all the craftsmen Mao Wenlong explained, in case of Mao Wenlong's needs tomorrow.

Mao Wenlong locked himself in the house, and this level lasted all night, until the next morning. Mao Wenlong opened the door and handed over the dozen drawings in his hand to the vast man guarding the door: "Send these drawings to Xin Wei and tell him that everything on the drawings will be made in two days." Otherwise, he's the dean! ”

Regardless of the astonished vastness of his face, Mao Wenlong stretched his waist, looked at the sky that had just shone, shook his hand and closed the door and went back to sleep.

Holding the drawings drawn by Mao Wenlong, Haoda wanted to ask Mao Wenlong if he wanted to eat something first, but Mao Wenlong was no longer visible, so he had to leave in a hurry.

Xin Wei didn't close his eyes all night last night, anxiously waiting for Mao Wenlong's news in his hut. finally survived until dawn, but he was already starting to feel a little sleepy.

Just as Xin Wei was napping, Haoda kicked in the door directly, and there was a loud bang. Haoda threw the pile of drawings he was holding in his arms on Xin Wei's table, and said in a muffled voice: "The chief soldier has an order, within two days, the things in the drawings will be created, otherwise you, the dean, will be the end." ”

Haoda Ke was not polite at all, and directly told Xin Wei to know. Hearing this, Xin Wei was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly opened those drawings to see what Mao Wenlong was painting all night?

However, when he looked at all the drawings, he still didn't know what the purpose of these things painted by Mao Wenlong was? Xin Wei looked up at the vast expanse and opened his mouth to ask, "General, can you tell me what these drawings of the general army are for?" ”

Haoda pouted and said, "You don't know about the dean, how do I know." The words have been brought to you, you can do it yourself, and say goodbye! ”

After clasping his fists and saluting, Haoda didn't wait for Xin Wei to speak, turned around and strode away.

Looking at the back of Haoda leaving, Xin Wei was stunned for a moment, and when he suddenly came to his senses, Haoda was gone. Xin Wei pondered for a moment, then carefully put away all the drawings, and hurried to the place where the craftsmen were gathered, without bothering to eat breakfast. In any case, the most important thing for him at the moment is obviously to build these things, otherwise he may end up as the dean.

Others becoming officials are the three fires of new officials, but he himself has hit walls everywhere, at this moment, Xin Wei feels that it is not so easy to become an official. At least it was a lot harder than it was before.
