When it comes to making lathes, steel is undoubtedly one of the most important factors.

Although the original lathe was made of wood, steel was also used. In particular, the follow-up production and manufacturing are closely related to it, and it cannot be taken lightly.

Previously, Luo Cheng moved out the initial local steelmaking, and although the quality of the steel produced was not very good, it was much better than the steel developed by the existing technology.

This kind of steel is barely combined, and now that he has an idea, Luo Cheng began to work. He's not a procrastinator, and it's good to get these things done as early as possible.

In this workshop, Luo Cheng asked Huba and the others to put down their work for the time being. It's a very important thing to discuss the manufacture of the lathe, and I think they can understand it.

The inability of the steam engine to be mass-produced did make Huba a little embarrassed, after all, it was the result of their efforts for a long time, and it was really embarrassing that they had such a defect in the end.

Although they didn't know what Luo Cheng was doing with this thing, judging from past experience, they would definitely not suffer a loss if they followed Luo Cheng. Since this is the case, let's start work with Luo Cheng.

A lathe is a machine tool that turns a rotating workpiece. This thing has an extremely big role in industry, but it wasn't used before, so Luo Chengcheng didn't bother too much.

In fact, Luo Cheng doesn't know much about this thing, but based on the information he knows, and then integrates it through the addition of the system, he naturally has a draft and leads everyone to do it.

Although Luo Cheng has led troops to fight outside all the year round, his hands-on ability has not weakened. If he is willing to spend time here, it is not impossible to light up the tech tree in a short time.

But Luo Cheng is not the only one who has this matter, his eyes have been set on the world, and now that Great Xia has been established, he can't stick to Yanyun's territory like before.

For Luo Cheng, the glory of Huaxia is very important, if it weren't for this, how could he be so laborious. There are many things that he doesn't have to do himself, but he has no intention of refusing it.

Under the command of Luo Cheng, he took Huba and others to quickly start operating. Although it is not so easy to manufacture a lathe, it is undoubtedly countless times simpler than independent research and development.

During this period, Huba also saw some clues, although he did not know about lathes. But in the process of manufacturing, he can feel something, this thing is probably used by Luo Cheng to solve the problem of mass production of steam engines.

Thinking of this, Huba couldn't help but feel a little more confident, if he could promote the steam engine, then his name might be able to remain on the top of history, it was much better than being an unknown scholar.

For Huba, in fact, he doesn't have much pressure, because the Hu family's heritage is too deep. The wealth accumulated over the years is enough to be called a rich country.

Even if Huba doesn't do anything, gnawing old for a lifetime is enough to be willing to grow old. There is nothing good at all, and Father Hu has already prepared all the retreats for him.

But eating and waiting for death is not Huba's goal, no one will be willing to be a salted fish. Then Luo Cheng gave him another chance to shine.

I have to say that Huba does have a strong talent in scientific research, and many things can be solved in one place. Before going to the wind and snow, the poetry was really a little condescending.

Luo Cheng is unswerving about this, as long as this continues, Huba will definitely be able to become a generation of grandmasters. No one can say for sure about science, and he has a good chance to understand it in depth.

So busy for three days.

Luo Cheng and others finally built the first lathe, looking at this thing, which is mainly a wooden structure and uses precision metal gears as the shaft, everyone is happy.

Not many people know what the lathe is for, but when you see it being made, it feels very different. More or less proud, even Luo Cheng is the same.

This lathe is pedal driven, after all, it is not convenient to use other power now. There are times when manpower can play a big role, and now is the right time.

In fact, it is not impossible to make a lathe out of steel, but it takes much more time, and it is not as simple as the semi-wooden structure at the moment. For now, let's talk about experiments, and then I'll talk about other things.

After taking a closer look, Luo Cheng tried the test run again and there was no problem, so he looked at Huba and the others with a smile and said, "With this, it will undoubtedly be much easier to make parts."

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Luo Cheng directly started the actual measurement, took the refined steel, and operated it step by step. With the characteristic sound of the machine, the parts that had taken a long time were completed.

Seeing this scene, everyone, including Huba, looked a little confused. Such a speed is too amazing, isn't it, how much time have they wasted before?

Even if Huba had already had a similar idea, he was stunned, they had this thing before, I am afraid that they would have made a steam engine a long time ago, so why bother so much.

Luo Cheng was also satisfied with this result, so he nodded and said: "It seems that this lathe works well, but after all, it is a wooden structure, and there is still a lot of loss, so try to use steel to build it in the future."

Luo Cheng reminded him, Hu Ba thought it was true, they were all directly involved in the manufacture of the lathe, and Luo Cheng also left drawings, so they could build them by themselves without Luo Cheng being here.

Seeing the effect of the lathe, Hu Ba was somewhat embarrassed, he originally thought that he had made a lot of progress, but in front of Luo Cheng, it was still so worthless, and sure enough, the prince was still the prince.

Everyone was convinced.

Luo Cheng didn't care about this, he waved his hand lightly and said: "The purpose of the lathe is more than that, and you don't need to put all your energy on the wooden cow flowing horse, you can continue to study further."

The steam engine has come to this point, in fact, it has been combined, and Luo Cheng wants more technical advancement, rather than staying in the steam engine era, which is not a good thing.

Of course, if the product is updated too quickly, it will inevitably damage the interests of some people. But none of this is a big deal, because the benefits of technology upgrades far outweigh the disadvantages.

Huba and the others all nodded in agreement, in their hearts, Luo Cheng is an idol, how can they disobey. Maybe it's showing them the way to move on.

At some point, the road ahead is much more interesting than a stop.

For as long as this time has been, Huba and the others have been immersed in it, studying the principle of the steam engine and making improvements, making them very happy, even if they work hard for it.

If you can go further, there is no problem.
