Sun Chengzong's power was really extraordinary, and the spokesmen of the Donglin Party immediately closed their voices collectively, and they didn't even dare to write about the impeachment. Even if Qian Qianyi has a thousand calculations, he can only wait for the next opportunity, if he dares to provoke these people to make trouble, it is estimated that he will be unlucky.

As soon as the officials retired, the work of the various ministries immediately returned to normal, the Daoist Sect of the Ministry of Household immediately began to allocate silver taels, Bi Maokang of the Ministry of Industry also immediately began to organize people to build military factories, and Xu Guangqi of the Ministry of Rites also remembered that he was still an emperor and finally dared to enter the palace.

The construction of the military factory has finally begun, and according to the original plan, a small blast furnace will be built first, and several furnaces of high-quality low-carbon steel will be smelted first. Whether it is a gun barrel, a drill bit, or a knife, steel is needed, and nothing can be built without steel, so small blast furnaces must be built.

The small blast furnace does not take much time and does not use many people, and the main personnel are still used to build the plant. In the planning, the first thing to build is the machining workshop, because now in addition to the drilling machine has been 'developed', the other beds are still in Zhu Cijiong's mind, and there is not even a model. Therefore, it is necessary to build a machining workshop as soon as possible and make every effort to develop other machine tools. Otherwise, when the military factory is built, there will only be one drilling machine, and it will not be able to make a flintlock pistol at all.

This development is actually Zhu Cijiong taught Xu Guangqi the machine tool drawings in his mind in a guided way, and Zhu Cijiong first taught the lathe. This lathe has a nickname called "industrial machine tool", why is it called so? Because this lathe actually has the functions of many machine tools, as long as there is a lathe, you can slowly make other machine tools, just like a mother gives birth to a child. And the higher the accuracy of the lathe, the higher the accuracy of the machine.

The lathe is actually not complicated, and it is basically the same to swap the left and right sides of the drilling machine. That is to say, the drilling machine is the drill bit and the parts are not moving, and the lathe is the parts and the turning tool is not moving. Of course, to keep the parts spinning, there must also be a cylindrical fixture to clamp the parts firmly. Also, the lathe can generally feed the tool automatically, which is not difficult, as long as a piston driven pinion is added to the rack.

Zhu Cijiong sorted out his thoughts, tried to find out the common points between the lathe and the drilling machine, and then began to teach a group of cronies.

Xu Guangqi and they really understood as soon as they heard it, there was a ready-made drilling machine there, so they would swap the left and right sides, and then add two parts, who wouldn't!

In order to save time, Zhu Cijiong decided to make a lathe model in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, and try to see if there is anything that needs to be improved. When the lathe is finalized, the parts are directly processed in other workshops of the Ministry of Industry, so that as soon as the machine shop is built, the official lathe can be assembled immediately. With lathes, other machines can be built very quickly.

Xu Guangqi They think of a faster way, anyway, they are already familiar with the drilling machine, it doesn't matter if there is a model or not, just change it on the basis of the drilling machine model, so that the light processing fixture and pinion will be on the line.

Zhu Cijiong naturally has no opinion, as long as they can eat these machine tools thoroughly, as for how to do it, he will not interfere too much, he wishes these people would use their brains more.

The lathe model was soon done, Xu Guangqi they saw the magic of automatic feeding, all dumbfounded, in the era of pure manual processing, this semi-automatic machine simply subverted their cognition, the original processing things can also be so played! People don't have to move at all, clamp the parts to adjust the position, and then press the switch, and the machine tool will automatically start processing!

Although it is the first time to do a lathe, there is already a drilling machine model in front of the bottom, and most of the parts used are the original drilling machine parts, so the processing effect of the machine tool model is very good, and the wood cylinder that comes out of the car is smoother than the manual processing whether it is the inner wall or the epitaxy.

This is a great progress, the inner wall is smoother, the sealing performance is strengthened, and when the sealing is strengthened, the force of the piston is greater, the action is smoother, and the accuracy of the machine tool will be improved. In addition, the outer wall is also turned around, and the whole cylinder really looks like a regular product, unlike the hand-processed, rough appearance, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a high-tech product.

After seeing the magic of the lathe, Xu Guangqi and others were more enthusiastic, without Zhu Cijiong's urging, they all threw themselves on the new lathe, and began to continuously improve after understanding the principle, and the lathe was basically finalized in less than two months. When the machining workshop is built, the parts of the lathe and drilling machine have all been processed.

After the assembly and commissioning of the first lathe and the first drilling machine were completed, Xu Guangqi and they were so excited that they were so excited that they invited Zhu Cijiong to go to the military factory to press the start button for the first official production of machine tools!

If it is in modern times, it is normal for a head of state to go out, but in ancient times it was different, the emperor had to go out of the palace to protect tens of thousands of people, and other eunuchs, palace maids, and accompanying officials did not know much.

Although it was troublesome, Zhu Cijiong still wanted to go out of the palace to see, he had been in the Ming Dynasty for so long, and he didn't even know what the civilians outside looked like, how could he govern the country well in the future.

He originally thought that Sun Chengzong and Xinwang Zhu Youzhen would oppose it, and even if they didn't object, they would dissuade it, but he didn't expect him to say the idea of leaving the palace, and the two of them had no intention of opposing it at all. Sun Chengzong continued to review the recital, but Zhu Youzhen replied, but not to dissuade him, but to ask him to inform Luo Yangxing and arrange the guards all the way.

It's no wonder that the two of them didn't react, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty loved to go out of the palace is hereditary, it's good for him to go to the capital to go shopping, many emperors love to go to the Mongolian steppe to shop, but two of them can't come back after shopping!

Since no one objected, Zhu Cijiong naturally happily agreed to go.

The next day, just after the morning court, Zhu Cijiong hurriedly changed into a light dragon robe, and couldn't wait to pull Qin Mingyue to set off. Although he didn't call any officials to accompany him, the scene was still terrifying:

The whole team is afraid that there will be no two or three mile factories, in front of which are 5,000 brocade guards, and behind are 5,000 Shenji camps, and there are rows and rows of palace maids and eunuchs in the middle, and I don't know how many there are. From West Chang'an Avenue to Wang Gongchang, the road is lined up with brocade guards, which can really be described as a flag like a cloud, covering the sky and the sun.

Zhu Cijiong sat in the middle of the team on the dragon chariot carried by the thirty-two eunuchs, with a huge canopy above his head, and behind him stood Qin Mingyue and Cao Huachun, two masters, and on the left and right of the dragon chariot there were also Zhu Youzhen, the prince of Taifu, Sun Chengzong, the loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu, and the commander of Jinyiwei made Luo Yangxing beat the horse with him.

This is terrible, the whole capital is fried, everyone is desperately rushing to the street full of brocade guards, if you can see the emperor's dragon face, you will have the capital to brag in this life.

Zhu Cijiong looked at the ordinary people kneeling on both sides of the road, and the pride in his heart, only now did he truly realize the dignity of the ancient emperor. These are all his people, as the so-called don't look at it and don't know, it's startled when you see it, even if both sides of the road are densely packed with kneeling people, at most there are 100,000, this scene is already spectacular. The entire Ming Dynasty has a population of nearly 200 million and 200 million people! He is the co-owner of these two hundred million people!

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was still relatively close to the people, and there was no such thing as the Qing Dynasty where civilians could only lie on their stomachs in front of the emperor and could not offend Long Yan's stinky rules. So the civilians on both sides of the road knelt straight there, stretching their necks to look up at their emperor, as if they were still admiring something.

Zhu Cijiong wanted to hear their praise, but at the beginning of the section was West Chang'an Avenue, which was a bit wide, and those people didn't dare to make loud noises, so he couldn't hear what they were admiring clearly.

After walking through West Chang'an Avenue, the road began to narrow, and Zhu Cijiong finally heard the people's admiration for him, basically the same sentence: "Wow, the emperor is so cute!" ”

It turns out that these ordinary people are 'praising this'! Zhu Cijiong's face was suddenly full of black lines, but Qin Mingyue behind couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Uh, well, a six-year-old little Zhengtai is wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chariot seriously, which is indeed quite cute!
