Song Qianjin slapped his thigh and said, "There is no Haiyang realm, but there is one in the Rushan realm!" ”

"Isn't Rushan the realm of Da Songwei?" Jiang Huairen said: "Then Song Guozheng will let us go to his territory to mine coal?" Even if you are willing, you will definitely knock a bamboo pole hard. ”

On the side, Shen Lusu said with a smile: "Not necessarily, now that our adults are guerrillas, and the position is above his Song Guozheng, it is too late for him to pat our adults' sycophants." Besides, Song Guozheng also invested money in Haiyang's handicraft workshop, and he is also a person in the same boat, so he won't be able to get along with us! ”

"When the time comes, count him in a favor." Song Youliang nodded, and then said: "Although we have achieved good results at present, I don't plan to stop there, we can't be rich and peaceful, we must have the determination and confidence to do great things!" ”

If these words had been said two years ago, no one would have responded, but at this moment, every time Song Youliang does something, he succeeds in one thing, which makes Haiyangwei feel full of confidence and enthusiasm. Now it's not that Song Youliang is afraid that everyone is not motivated, it's that everyone has just tasted the sweetness, for fear that Song Youliang will stop now.

Song Youliang took out a prepared plan and said: "This year, our Haiyangwei will be comprehensively upgraded!" ”

"What do you mean by upgrading?" Song Qianjin asked

"Dad, this is like being promoted, getting bigger and bigger! The more you do it, the better! ”

"Oh, son, you go on~"

Song Youliang said: "Now we still have a lot of manual operations, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and I plan to start popularizing machines on a large scale." ”

"Machines? It's just a device, right? Shen Buqi said

"Right~"

Fan Shunbao interjected: "I think we have used a lot of equipment, such as a columb-cart for transplanting rice, a harvester pulled by oxen for harvesting, a threshing machine for threshing, and a fan cart for Yanggu." Many of the old masters of the field complained that there was no work to do~"

"I'm about to open a new field, and I'm afraid I won't have any work to do?" Song Youliang said with a smile: "We have used a lot of machines in Tuntian, but this is far from what I wanted. For example, if we build the timber for the beams of the house, how many carpenters will have to work before they can get on? For example, in the armory, how many times does a piece of iron have to be hammered by a blacksmith to form? ”

The crowd stopped interjecting, just listening. Song Youliang waved his hand, raised his head high and said, "My goal is that Haiyangwei will achieve mechanization!" ”

Haiyangwei wants to realize mechanization, and in addition to Song Youliang, the most energetic ones are Thomas and Bergyin. In Thomas's view, the Chinese's increasing technological demands are due to the victory of God and European civilization over their native culture, which is the victory of the Lord. So, Thomas and Bergin were willing to teach them what they were.

Thus, the sawmill in Haiyangwei was established. There are two types of machines in a sawmill, one is a hydraulic sawmill and the other is a sawing machine. A water-powered sawmill is actually a shed built on the water's edge, with four thick wooden pillars supporting the roof truss and a roof on top. Eight or nine feet high in the center of the shed, a saw went up and down, and a very simple machine pushed the wood against the saw. The stream pushes a wheel, creating two mechanical effects: one is the upward and downward movement of the saw, and the other is the slow push of the saw, and finally breaks into a board. The hydraulic sawmill can only roughen the timber, and the roughed timber is sent to a second stage for further processing.

With the help of Thomas and Bergine, the blacksmith made pulleys, bearings and bearing sleeves, as well as a circular saw blade with a diameter of 40 centimeters, which was mounted on the shaft and rolled directly into the bushing. The wheel saw is driven by human shaking, which greatly improves the efficiency of cutting wood.

Song Youliang saw that there was a lot of wood at the scene, so he grabbed a wood-shaped plank less than a finger thick, put it on the flat plate of the sawing machine, and then fixed it with a clamp. Song Youliang bent down and slowly pushed the wooden strip to the circular saw. The carpenter who had been arranged was robbed of the crank by Xu Erduo, who wanted to try it, and he was excited, shaking the handle quickly, and the circular saw also whirred and spun. The thin plank was in Song Youliang's hand, and the circular saw was slowly turning at high speed after all.

Smack

The front end of the plank finally touched the circular saw, and the circular saw and the plank seemed to be slightly stagnant, Xu Erduo was stunned for a moment, and then snorted lowly, and with all his strength, he waved his arm and held the handle is a wild turn. The circular saw finally turned rapidly again, Song Youliang and Thomas stared at the front, only to hear a "snort" sound, sawdust flew in front of them, and the planks in their hands gradually slid forward!

When the plank split in two on the slab, everyone present erupted in a cheer of joy

When Thomas saw the success of the machine he designed and built, he kept making a cross on his chest, "God forbid!" ”

However, Shen Buqi expressed concern, "My lord, this machine is good, and it uses less manpower." What about the manpower that has become richer? I'm worried that they'll complain and even sabotage the machine to hold their jobs, which is a shocking thing! ”

Shen Buqi's concerns are not unreasonable, and there are similar examples of textile workers destroying textile machines in the UK.

Song Youliang said to all the craftsmen present: "Listen, everyone, in the future, this kind of physical work will be done by those newcomers who have no skills, you just need to continuously improve your skills, as for the work, there will be more in the future." I Song someone has a lot of ghost ideas in his stomach, and there is so much work that I guarantee that you will be too busy in the future!! Do you believe it??? ”

"Letter~" Although the craftsman is still a little worried in his heart, but in the past few years, Song Youliang has never spoken without words

After the improvement of wood processing technology, Haiyangwei's vehicle and ship station also benefited a lot. The car and ship station was originally the shipyard that Deng Liansheng was in charge of, but later the content of building a carriage was added, and it was renamed the car and ship station. Due to the introduction of Western European craftsmen, Chinese and Western cultures and traditional Chinese culture have produced new sparks in the continuous collision.

For example, in the manufacture of horse-drawn carriages, there are two kinds of carriages made by chariots and boats, two-wheeled carriages and four-wheeled carriages, which are traditional Chinese carriages that craftsmen are familiar with. In the 1st century B.C., Roman carmakers discovered the Celtic chariot and reformed it with a rotating front axle, a full rim and hoop to increase strength, and a hub with metal rims to reduce friction. The performance of the carriage has been greatly improved. By 200 A.D., sturdy Roman four-wheeled transporters rumbled along the avenues, and horse-drawn mail wagons and coaches traveled 160 kilometers every 24 hours, stopping to change horses along the way. For more than 1,000 years, the horse-drawn carriage used for long-distance transportation became the main transport vehicle in countries around the world. Of course, these wagons were not only used to haul goods, but also to carry people on long journeys. Four-wheeled carriages transport people from one place to another quickly, making people feel the convenience brought by horse-drawn carriages. The advantage of a four-wheeled vehicle is that it has a large carrying capacity and runs smoothly. The disadvantage is that the four-wheeled carriage needs to be driven on a relatively flat surface. At its peak, the Roman Empire had 80,000 kilometers of flat avenues, which made this four-wheeled carriage very popular. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the roads fell into disrepair over the centuries. The most practical at this time is the two-wheeler, as it can be driven in rough terrain conditions.

Because all the main buildings in Haiyangwei are paved with flat new roads, the four-wheeled carriages made by Chechuan are mainly used for internal transportation in Haiyangwei, such as transporting grain and goods from various tun houses to the docks. The two-wheeled carriage is mostly used for external transportation because it has relatively low requirements for road conditions.

Another example is shipbuilding, Deng Liansheng ridiculed the ship designed by Hongmaoyi for not having a water compartment, and it can sink the ship if it breaks a small hole. European shipbuilders, on the other hand, ridiculed the Chinese ships for not having ribs, the low strength of the hull, which could break up with a single fist, and also made the hull not strong enough in the lateral direction to carry the recoil of a large number of artillery shots.

In fact, the invention of artillery deck technology and side-chord gun technology, which is unique to the West, was also slowly developed after artillery gradually became more and more important. However, China's naval warfare theory has always been based on the tactics of man-to-sea tactics to determine victory or defeat, and the theoretical development of artillery on ships and the supremacy of firepower has not been formed on a large scale, and it can be said that it is later than that of the West. Artillery on the warship can be said to be a leap in the history of the development of naval weapons, although China was the first to use firearms on the ship, but that's all, the artillery has always been fixed in the bow and stern position, can not be flexibly aimed and shot, the development of naval gun technology has been stagnant, many cannons on the deck of the ship with a small displacement make the stability of the ship worse, and the strength of the Chinese hull is not enough once the fire is fired, the recoil makes the ship more dangerous. There are two ways to solve this problem, one is to improve the accuracy of naval gun casting and the strength of the casting materials; The second was the invention of the ship's gunhouse: the gun was mounted on the lower deck and opened on both sides of the hull to allow the gun to fire, and when not in use, the gun door was closed with a hinged door cover. Since then, artillery battleships have had a large-scale firepower output and have real power.
