The factories designed by Zhu Youxiao are actually two, one is a machine tool factory and the other is a pot camel machine factory. His purpose is very simple, that is, to vigorously promote industrialization into the city, to universally implement semi-mechanized industrial and agricultural production, to rapidly improve the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, to prepare a sufficient material foundation for the future expansion of territory, and then to compete with Western European countries for the right to speak in the world.

Machine tool factory to produce industrial machine tools, sales objects for the country's industrial manufacturers, now mainly for the use of the camel machine factory, it is estimated that it will not take a year, those businessmen in the south will see the high profits, without publicity will also be enthusiastic to buy, used to produce equipment for various handicraft workshops. Think about it, what it used to take a few days or ten days to build, after using a machine tool, you can make a bunch of them in a day, how can you make a lot of money?

In order to avoid the outflow of these industrial machine tools to other countries, Zhu Youxiao requires that each machine tool must be designed with a number, record the sales file, warranty and maintenance once a year, and if the machine tool is scrapped, it must be recycled. All merchants who buy machine tools must be filed with the government and issue a certificate of innocence.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao would formulate such a strict sales method is because in history, Shanxi merchants ignored the interests of the Ming Dynasty and smuggled salt and iron to the Jurchens, earning a huge amount of wealth for themselves, but making the Ming lose the country. Unscrupulous merchants in the south colluded with the British to introduce tea cultivation to India, thus depriving later China of its monopoly profits on tea. Something like this, Zhu Youxiao must set up a system now, anyone who dares to harm the national interests of the Ming Dynasty will be punished for treason, and the main implementation of Dongchang in the future is to hunt down those who dare to commit treason around the world.

As for the pot camel machine, Zhu Youxiao does not attach so much importance to it, because its structure is simple, it is very easy to imitate, and in order to quickly promote it, Zhu Youxiao will also issue patent licenses to all businessmen who are willing to produce pot camel machines, but a certain amount of patent royalties will be charged.

Now the relatively simple industrial production cycle is still relatively short, Zhu Youxiao personally named, Sun Chengzong wrote the "Daming Machine Tool Factory" two months later, under the leadership of those old craftsmen, the students who graduated from the Daming Technical School soon produced 20 qualified machine tools, these machine tools were all purchased by the pot camel machine factory.

The pot camel machine factory is also the name of Zhu Youxiao himself, the name is called "Iron Cow Pot Camel Machine Factory", which means that the pot camel machine is like a cow made of iron, the image is vivid, and a "iron cow" logo is specially designed as a trademark, and the trademark has just been registered in the patent office. This time, please ask Sun Chengzong to inscribe Zhu Youxiao also paid the pen, and gave half of the shares to Sun Chengzong, which can be regarded as repaying Sun Chengzong's contribution to the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong originally refused, but Zhu Youxiao insisted on giving, and said that this is my Zhu Youxiao's personal gift to you Shu Xiu, and it is also regarded as the student's filial piety to the teacher's teachings, and there is nothing involved in the country.

The production of the pot camel machine took a little time, first of all, the thermal efficiency must be improved, it could not be wasted like the steam engine on the ironclad ship, otherwise it would not be of much use in commercial use. Second, Zhu Youxiao was not satisfied with the efficiency of the steam engine used on the ironclad ship, and he had to make a relatively large improvement to the general-purpose steam engine this time to make it more efficient. In Zhu Youxiao's memory, the thermal efficiency of modern steam engines is 20 percent, while the thermal efficiency of steam engines on ironclad ships is less than 5 percent. With current materials, it is still possible to increase the thermal efficiency to 10 percent. Anyway, the current machine tool has been successfully developed, such as processing gears, bearings and the like can still be done, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his golden finger, symbolically pointed out some two-way movement of the cylinder, flywheel, cylinder insulation, external condenser and so on, anyway, just to say, the specific production process has the old craftsmen and the technicians of the Daming Technical School to do.

In fact, a lot of technological inventions are like a layer of window paper, once pierced, there is not much mystery, for these current scientific cattle people, a hundred points is more suitable, Zhu Youxiao put forward these eye-catching attention, for them is like Daigo empowerment, all of a sudden the horizons have been broadened a lot, some large and small improvements continue to be discovered. As a result, the efficiency of the use of the steam engine began to improve significantly, and it gradually began to approach the "Watt-style steam engine" built by the Englishman Watt a hundred years later. In order to improve the steam engine, Watt bankrupted several capitalists who funded him, and it took nearly 30 years, and the Iron Cow Pot Camel Machine Factory also spent nearly three months under the guidance of Zhu Youxiao, which was nearly twice as efficient as the successful pot camel machine in May, and it was completely ready to enter the field of commercial production and use.

On August 15 of the third year of the Apocalypse, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival of another year, and the two imperial uncles of Shu King Zhu Zhishu and Fu King Zhu Changxun came to visit the Empress Dowager Liu, and saw the Empress Dowager come out to see Zhu Youxiao again.

"Two imperial uncles, please take a seat." Zhu Youxiao said to the second king, "I'll let the two imperial uncles see one thing later." Didn't Uncle Huang say that there is always not enough manpower to hire? Let's see if we can help. ”

Fu Wang Zhu Changxun asked, "What good things does Your Majesty have?" It seems that Your Majesty is good, and this little thing is still remembered for me. ”

Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, said: "Our little things are not worth worrying about Your Majesty, it's a big deal to collect a little less, and no one will be hungry anyway." On the contrary, His Majesty has been a little clear, don't worry too much about these idle things in the future, young people also have to pay attention to their bodies, don't overwork too much. ”

After Zhu Youxiao chatted with the two imperial uncles for a few words, he led the two to the "Iron Cow Pot Camel Machine Factory" to see the pot camel machine.

In the open space of the factory, there are now twenty pot camel machines, and the pot camel machines that have just been painted with red tung paint are shining with crystal light, which is like a pile of gold in Zhu Youxiao's eyes.

"Do you know what this thing is?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

King Fu and King Shu stared at each other and shook their heads: "I don't know." ”

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and called over the two student technicians, "Mobilize it and show it to the two imperial uncles." ”

Two mechanics came over, lit the hay with a fire sickle, led the firewood to the boiler and began to make a fire, a quarter of an hour the boiler was full of steam, and when the pressure was strong enough, one of them sat on the seat, closed the clutch first, and slowly the wheel of the camel machine turned up, and then stayed for a while The camel machine ran up, with the gas valve when it was big and small, the pot camel machine ran a few laps in the factory from time to time fast and slowly.

King Fu and King Shu were dumbfounded, as if they had seen a fairy, and they couldn't say a word when they looked at Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Two imperial uncles, this is what I let you see the second elder, its big name is Pot Camel Machine, and its small name is 'Iron Ox', which means that it can pull carts, plow land, and work like cattle, but it doesn't have to be fed every day, and because it is made of iron, the common name is 'Iron Ox'." When it's busy, light a fire and let it work; Take care of it and put it aside when you're free, so you don't have to wait for it anymore. ”

King Fu asked, "Your Majesty, is this 'Iron Bull' easy to serve?" If you don't eat grass and don't eat food, will it get sick? ”

Zhu Youxiao replied with a smile: "Uncle Huang! As long as you remember that the water in the pot above is not cut off, there is always straw, firewood, coal, etc., as long as you can boil the water, don't stop the fire, you can always let it work. Sick? Yes, in fact, some parts are broken, and there will be nothing wrong with another one. However, it is necessary to pay attention to maintenance, that is, in the place where it is often rotated, it is not easy to break if you apply a little castor oil frequently. In fact, in the future, this 'iron bull' will be used, and you can buy accessories anywhere, and now you just start using it, there will definitely be special technicians to serve it, oh, that is, to treat it. ”
