Xiao Tianjian was overjoyed, and quickly took out a handful of bird guns from it, and played with them in his hand, these bird guns are all new bird guns newly created by Yang Changshou, which are very heavy, so that people can hold them, and there is a sense of security, and the workmanship of these bird guns is quite good, the gap is complete, and a layer of animal fat is coated on it, which is used to prevent rust, and it is only to be transported to Lotus Village and sent to the army for use.

Xiao Tianjian was very happy after seeing it, and then put it back in the box with a bird's gun, and asked Yang Changshou with a smile: "How many rods have been made in total?" ”

"A total of thirty rods, with the help of the drilling machine, the gun pipe will be built much faster, at the end of this month, it can also make more than 100 rods, I originally wanted to send it to Lotus Village at the end of this month, the general will come here, if the general is in a hurry, these thirty rods of small ones will be sent over first!" Yang Changshou hurriedly replied.

"I didn't expect you guys to be so fast! Not bad! By the way, this alone is not enough, but also the pliers for making projectiles, and the supporting things must be all done! No hurry, no hurry! When I go back this time, I'll take it back with me! Hehe! By the way, I thought about the projectile, if we can make it uniformly here, it would be better to make it uniformly, so that the firecracker can be less troublesome, and the projectile made is more regular! Right! Just like that, the projectiles are uniformly manufactured here, and then distributed uniformly! Xiao Tianjian happily closed his mouth and said to Yang Changshou.

"Little obedience!" Yang Changshou hurriedly nodded and agreed.

The mass production of the new type of bird gun is a great news for Xiao Tianjian, so that the miscellaneous bird guns they use can finally be withdrawn from the army, for the next step of the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army, this is a very important thing, if Yang Changshou can increase the output a little more, then in three months, with the current strength of the Xingtian Army, all can be replaced with new bird guns, and once again increase the number of fire guns and the proportion of fire guns in the army, and continue like this, Within a year, he could have more than 2,000 of these new bird guns, and if he went into battle again, ordinary enemies would not be the opponents of his Heavenly Army.

Xiao Tianjian was very happy, and immediately told Tietou, and informed Zhang Chao to give Yang Changshou a reward for them, and distributed it to them with this month's salary, so that Yang Changshou and his craftsmen were also very happy, and thanked Xiao Tianjian again and again.

"That's right! What is the situation of the cannon casting over there in Gaosu now? Xiao Tianjian suddenly remembered one more thing and asked Yang Changshou.

After Yang Changshou heard this, his face suddenly lengthened, and he pursed his lips slightly: "In my opinion, that red-haired ghost is a liar at all, if you can't do it here today, you won't work anywhere tomorrow, and you can't find the trouble!" So far, not a single cannon has been cast, but the craftsmen under him have been lifted! ”

Xiao Tianjian, who was still happy just now, immediately frowned after hearing this, and he saw that Yang Changshou was still very uninterested in this Gao Su, could it be that this foreign devil was really a straw bag that played tricks and mixed up rice? Xiao Tianjian suddenly became in a bad mood.

"That's it! I'll see for myself! Xiao Tianjian's face turned cold, and he commanded the iron head.

So the group immediately left Tiezuo and walked towards the newly built cannon casting workshop after the year.

The cannon casting workshop is also a branch of ironwork, and the location is also in the flat land of the back mountain, but a shed was built for Gao Su in a corner, and the furnace that should be built in it was also built for him, after all, there is no shortage of craftsmen here, it is not difficult to do this, and the area is really not small, it can be seen that Zhang Chao has Xiao Tianjian's instructions, and he also attaches great importance to this matter.

As soon as Xiao Tianjian entered here, he also felt the heat rushing to his face, several furnaces were lit on fire, and the first batch of various copper utensils and copper coins sent by Xiao Tianjian after the year had already been melted into copper ingots, and there were craftsmen who specialized in this to re-smelt these miscellaneous coppers, so that they could meet the requirements of Gaosu, and now the smelting is a batch of bronze ware that Luo Li and they snatched outside after the year, and the inside of each furnace is red, and some craftsmen are connecting the copper water into the crucible. It is carried and poured into copper ingots, which are used as raw materials for use.

After arriving here, Xiao Tianjian looked around but didn't see Gao Su, so he asked the craftsmen here where Gao Su was.

The craftsman who was asked hurriedly saluted Xiao Tianjian, and immediately replied: "The master craftsman should be in his room at this time, and the little one doesn't know what he is doing!" ”

Xiao Tianjian's face became even worse, everyone else was working, but this guy ran back to his residence to rest, isn't this obviously slacking off and lazy?

So he asked Gao Su's residence with a straight face, and immediately took Tietou and Yang Changshou and others to find him, and Yang Changshou showed a gloating expression, obviously waiting to see the joke of the red-haired ghost.

Gao Su's residence was next to the cannon foundry, Xiao Tianjian walked to the door without knocking, and kicked the door open, only to hear a voice from inside immediately: "Who is so rude?" Don't you remember my words and knock before you enter? ”

Xiao Tianjian strode into the room with a cold face, and saw Gao Su lying on the table and drawing something on the paper, so he asked him, "Everyone else is busy, what are you doing here?" ”

Gao Su turned his head and saw Xiao Tianjian, so he jumped up like a spring on his buttocks, bowed to Xiao Tianjian and said, "It turns out that the general is here!" I don't know if the general is coming, I miss the welcome, and I ask the general to forgive me! ”

Xiao Tianjian didn't pay attention to him, strode to his table, looked down, and saw all kinds of rulers, scales and other things on the table, as well as some compasses and other things, obviously these things were made after he came here, and on the paper on the table, there were also a lot of things written in words that he couldn't understand, as well as pictures, he looked at it with big eyes, and saw that this was originally a design drawing of Gao Sulong, and it was a cannon designed, with various Arabic numerals marked on it, Although Xiao Tianjian couldn't understand the text he marked, it could be seen that this guy's cartographic ability was still very strong, even if it was not as good as his cartographic level, but among all the craftsmen here in Shuangfeng Village, his cartographic level was definitely the first.

It turned out that this guy was not lazy in the house, but was making design drawings here, preparing for the casting of the cannon, so he extinguished a lot of fire, and after calming down his anger, he asked Gao Su: "How is the cannon casting here now?" I'm here to see how your work is doing! I didn't see you in the shed just now, so I found you! ”

Originally, Yang Changshou was still counting on seeing Xiao Tianjian get angry with this red-haired ghost, but when he saw Xiao Tianjian twisting around the table, he was angry, so he felt a little discouraged, and he didn't dare to intervene to accuse Gao Su of the red-haired ghost.

Gao Su hurriedly asked Xiao Tianjian to sit down, at this time Xiao Tianjian found that this guy was actually very good at enjoying, cleaning his room very clean, and the layout was also very comfortable, I don't know where it was, I touched a set of teapots and bowls, put them on the table like a decent look, and made a bit of an elegant feeling, it seems that this guy is still a guy who will enjoy life.

"General, you Orientals have a saying that everything is difficult at the beginning! Think about it, when you come down here, except for the sword that the general gave you, there is almost nothing, everything has to start from scratch, our weights and measures are completely different from your country's, if you want to make a qualified artillery, you have to convert it into our units, otherwise, you can't work in the next day, so in the next few days spent a lot of effort to make these tools, and now you can finally use the sword at hand to make it, and now you are designing the drawings, and you can open the mold immediately!

This time I want to use the most sophisticated technology to cast the cannon, I need a lot of wax and butter, in our country is called the lost wax method, this is a very meticulous work, this time did not start, is that I have to draw drawings first, and then prepare all kinds of materials, now all kinds of raw materials are just ready, I plan to start the official mold tomorrow, first with wax and butter to make a model, and then make a clay mold, and finally complete the pouring! Gao Su talked eloquently to Xiao Tianjian, and his Chinese level has improved a lot, it seems that this guy is a relatively talented person with language talents, and he is very good at learning.

And Yang Changshou on the side sneered on the spot after hearing it, he can be said to sneer at what Gao Su said, the lost wax method is very high technology in Gao Su's view, but in China, the lost wax method is a process that has been extended for more than a thousand years, and at present, most of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty cast things, and most of them use the lost wax method, and in this guy's mouth, it seems to be very mysterious.

Xiao Tianjian also smiled slightly, the lost wax method he also knows that it is indeed a commonly used precision casting method, and it is also more suitable for casting cannons, and the copper cannon cast by the lost wax method is very exquisite, each cannon is cast into a work of art, and he also understands that the lost wax casting process is not a new thing in China, it can be said to have a long history of thousands of years, but one thing that makes him admire this foreign devil is that this guy is very serious in his work, and any link can be said to be meticulous. This fully shows that this person is a rigorous person, so it should be safe to use him.

Right now, from Gaosu to here, that is, a month's time, everything is starting from scratch, if you want to let this guy cast a cannon in a month, even if it is a finished product, it is estimated that Xiao Tianjian dares to use it or not, it is not a trivial matter, it is simple to say, but the preliminary preparation is still quite complicated, and many raw materials he does not have here, he needs to get them from the outside, even the raw materials for making clay molds must be finely ground out and sieved for later use, The complexity is not as simple as imagined, so the more fully prepared Gao Su this guy is, the greater the chance of success, and the higher the quality of the cannon cast, so this matter is in a hurry, it has to come step by step, it is impossible to be like some pig's feet in the crossing, the cannon machine gun will be built in three or five days, and then the Buddha will kill the Buddha, and the gods can't stop them!
