Alas, it's hard! It's hard! Yes, if it's not difficult, didn't you Zhu Youxiao come to the Ming Dynasty for nothing? Thinking about it is a thing, the standards are set by people, as long as the country is strong, the standard of the Ming Dynasty is the standard of the world, just like the feet, miles, pounds, etc. of later generations, it is inevitable to formulate their own scales, maybe there will be Han rulers, Han zhang or Ming rulers, Ming Li units, as close as possible to the standards of later generations, so that future generations can also save some trouble. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao didn't worry about these things anymore, so he went to the queen Zhang Yan and the second concubine to consume a good spring.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't have a long time to be leisurely, and within five days, those big bulls really came to Zhu Youxiao to discuss the scale issue, because these people were separated to their respective research institutes for research, and the result was the problem of poor scale.

Zhu Youxiao was not polite, so he asked these people to bring their own rulers, and then compared, and selected the ruler closest to one meter and three feet in later generations as the standard, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to make such a pure gold ruler as the standard of the Ming Dynasty, and promulgated the holy decree, and all the yamen used this ruler as the standard to formulate a fair ruler for comparison. Since then, the Ming ruler of the popular later generations has become the only standard. After the scale standard is determined, other things are much easier to do, with nine cubic feet of water as 2,000 catties, so that there is a standard for setting the weight, and the standard of one pound made of gold is also kept in the Ministry of Industry, and each yamen casts a one-pound scale with brass, and puts it in the yamen to make a comparison of fair scales.

When the standard problem was solved, the cooperation of the bulls immediately became happy, first according to their understanding of the lathe, each person made a model of wood according to their own ideas, and then several people put these so-called lathes together and explained to each other what their lathes could do. Of course, they didn't make the models themselves, they now have a lot of assistants, they are in charge of the design, and the assistants do the work, so it doesn't take much of their time to make these things. By comparing these lathe models, the closest to the modern principle is Song Yingxing's team, the clearest way to use it is Bi Maokang's team, and the most suitable for the current is Zhu Ling's team, after all, they do the most this kind of work, and Xu Guangqi did not make models, his strength is to summarize and sort out opinions.

According to the reference of these models, Xu Guangqi unified their common ideas, and then comprehensively put forward his own views, and then these big bulls debated and quarreled, which made Zhu Youxiao's face bloom, and the heart has the characteristics of linking theory with practice.

The simple grinding machine designed by Zhu Youxiao is actually a foot-pedal grinding wheel grinder, and the drilling machine used by Song Yingxing and Bi Maokang to design and use the drill gun rod is also similar to this simple principle, which is that the processed parts do not move, and the tools and drill bits used rotate, and the lathe principle is that the processed parts move and the tools are fixed, and the so-called "bed" is the place where the processed parts are placed, and its requirements are extremely strict, especially the positioning and balance can be described as demanding. Now these bulls are here, although the objective conditions are not very good, but the bulls are still brainstorming to find a way to solve, and finally the scene designed almost close to the modern form of the lathe, as for other such as grinders, drilling machines are in use, a little improvement on the line, milling machines, boring machines, planers and other functions are relatively single are also designed together, and then make several machine tools after the lathe is manufactured.

The first lathe needs to be all handmade by the old craftsmen, in order to reduce the amount of labor of the old craftsmen, Zhu Youxiao asked to make a lathe that is not too big first, it can be used simply, and so on after using this lathe to manufacture other machine tools, use other machine tools to manufacture more precise accessories, and then upgrade the lathe, maybe upgrade back and forth a few times to fully achieve the goal. This kind of industrial basic manufacturing industry cannot be completed overnight, and Zhu Youxiao is not too anxious, and slowly waits for these craftsmen to do it.

The bulls were researching the tools they were making, and Zhu Youxiao began to study how to use these things. Zhu Youxiao estimates that the power of the pot camel machine produced now should be about five to ten horsepower, and the smaller power can be sold to the rural landlords, and the larger power is used in the army. For the current landlords, life is not very good, the rent is high and no one cultivates, the rent is low and there is a feeling that it is not cost-effective, if there is this kind of busy use, idle do not need to serve the machine, and will be enthusiastic to buy. Of course, the first batch of pot camel machines will definitely not be their turn, just those princes of the Zhu family's descendants can buy the first batch of pot camel machines, the price? The first batch is definitely more expensive, and it will not be able to come down until a large number of sound fields can be obtained. In addition, it was necessary to produce a little more power, and these more powerful ones had to be sold to those who opened factories, so that the entire Ming Dynasty could enter the primitive industrialized country.

Those big bulls of this era are indeed a little capable, in less than a month to manufacture the original industrial machine machine, and according to Zhu Youxiao's method of mutual cycle and upgrade manufacturing, the result is really to Zhu Youxiao to save a lot of silver, and then began to manufacture various machine tools used in the conventional manufacturing industry. Of course, the accuracy will definitely not be too high, not to mention that the current smelting technology is not too good, Zhu Youxiao means that it is not too good, it is enough, and when the industry is upgraded in the future, it must be done to the point of excellence.

The weather in May is getting hotter and hotter, and Zhu Youxiao's mood is getting better and better, because just yesterday, Zhu Ling reported the good news to him, the pot camel engine was produced, with the experience of the previous steam engine, the one-time production was successful, and the test effect was very good, even more stable than the operation of the steam engine on the ironclad ship. If Zhu has filial piety, if it is not as good as the hand-made steam engine, what do I spend so much effort to make these machine tools, and do I have enough to eat?

In order to make the pot camel machine into the field of use faster, Zhu Youxiao ordered the students of Daming Technical School who want to participate in the work to earn money can voluntarily graduate and work in the factory, because the cost of the research pot camel machine is Zhu Youxiao's own, so the ownership of these inventions is all owned by himself, in order to let the big bulls participating in the research have greater enthusiasm, Zhu Youxiao decided to set up a joint-stock factory, he owns 51 percent of the shares, and the rest of Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Bi Maokang, and Zhu Ling each account for 10 percent. The remaining 9 percent of the shares were distributed to dozens of old craftsmen who had made a lot of efforts, and now the four big cows were very happy, and those old craftsmen were even more happy, you hit me, I beat you, and see if it was true.

The money for the establishment of the factory was divided according to the shares, and the old craftsmen were dry shares, so they did not have to pay, because they did not have that much money. Zhu Youxiao only asked the shareholders to contribute half of the funds, and the rest had to borrow from Tenglong Bank, and the interest was negotiated with the bank. Why? First, it is necessary to form a new lending model; Second, the four shareholders really don't have enough money, and they need too much money to build the factory; Third, it is also necessary to let the descendants of the Zhu family see the power of capital, and also set an example for other commercial banks, so that those landlords who are still hesitant can see a different way out.
