Yang Changshou paused for a moment, a little unsure of Xiao Tianjian's question, so he nodded and said: "Of course it is, since we are asked to ensure the quality of the bird, then naturally all the parts must be completed by one person!"

Xiao Tianjian immediately shook his head and said, "Actually, there is a better way!" Once you officially start to build a large number of bird guns, one person is responsible for the creation of the entire set of bird guns, which is obviously a waste of manpower and material resources! It is better to separate the craftsmen, someone is responsible for building the barrel of the bird's gun, someone is responsible for building the medicine pool, someone is responsible for building the faucet, etc., all the small parts, let one person be responsible for building, and then a special person is responsible for assembling these things, and finally carry out a unified acceptance test shot, no problem can be put into storage, waiting for distribution to the army.

I think that if I do this, it will save more labor, and everyone will only be responsible for creating one thing, and over time, the craftsmanship will be extremely exquisite! It saves time and labor! It's called assembly line work! Master Yang can consider my suggestion, this method can be called assembly line operation, see if my method works? ”

After Yang Changshou heard this, he was stunned for a while, because for a long time, these blacksmiths, no matter what they do, are responsible for one person to create all one thing, and everything is their personal work, and Xiao Tianjian now proposes that one person is only responsible for one part, and finally assemble it, is this possible?

But after thinking about it carefully, I think that the method that Xiao Tianjian gave them is really effective, each person is only responsible for the creation of one component, and it will not take long to memorize it, and it must be very fast to build, and the scrap rate will naturally be reduced a lot.

To build a bird gun, it is said that ten catties of wool iron to make a catty of fine iron, a gun pipe to a few catties of fine iron, but in fact is not the case, but a lot of iron is consumed on the waste, this is also a distinction between a smart craftsman and a low-level craftsman, a smart craftsman is far from using so much, wool iron, to build a gun, although these waste products can also be remelted, but the consumption is also far greater than the amount of use, if some people are preoccupied with building a gun pipe, then it will not be long before these people can become a master craftsman to build a gunThe yield rate will definitely rise sharply, and it may be increased to a qualified finished product for every two to build three or five pieces in the past.

And Yang Changshou is also a flexible person, otherwise he would not become a master craftsman, inferences will be found, this also has the advantage, that is, you can make full use of all the blacksmiths under him, even if the level of blacksmiths or even apprentices, you can also give full play to their labor, as long as they go to forge some wool iron, so that they can go to the miscellaneous essence, and then the forged iron, handed over to the next level of craftsmen to continue the next step of forging, in this way, not only save man-hours, but also save manpower, With all the manpower fully mobilized, the production volume may have increased more than three or two times compared to the original method they used for hundreds of years.

Thinking of this, Yang Changshou was suddenly overjoyed, patted his head, then laughed, hugged his fists and said to Xiao Tianjian: "The villain is really convinced, the general's words can be said to have opened my mind at once, it's really a good idea!" Why didn't we think of such a good way before? As a result, the output of iron weapons may increase by a few heels! The little one has figured it out now, please rest assured that the little one will start to arrange it according to the general's method! ”

Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said: "Actually, my method is not anything new, I think as early as the pre-Qin era, the craftsmen of the Qin State did this, but later people gradually forgot about this method, plus you craftsmen are reluctant to teach outsiders, only willing to teach their own children and grandchildren, and even pass on men and women, once someone dies or encounters an accident, those good skills will be lost, so that a lot of good techniques are lost in the world, it is a pity!"

But I also know that this is a problem for the jobs of your children and grandchildren, but you might as well think about it, in this troubled world, if everyone does not give the arts, then how many skills will be lost, not to mention, you can survive in this troubled world by yourself? How can your children benefit from this?

So at present, only everyone is not hesitant to pass on the skills to our craftsmen or apprentices, the Xingtian army is strong, then your life will be guaranteed, the life of your children and grandchildren will be guaranteed, the Xingtian army is weak, everyone will lose this support, everything does not need to be said, everyone naturally understands what the consequences are! Do you know what I mean? ”

After listening to these craftsmen in the blacksmith shop, although they didn't dare to say that they understood it completely, everyone seemed to understand what Xiao Tianjian meant, that is, the interests of all the people here revolve around the interests of the Xingtian Army, the Xingtian Army is developed, they will naturally have no worries about food and clothing with their children and grandchildren, if the Xingtian Army is not strong, then everything is not to be discussed, they still have to go to live that precarious day, let alone benefit their children and grandchildren!

So Yang Changshou nodded first, now he is the head of the iron craftsman, and he has begun to pass on his skills to these subordinates, so he understands it most thoroughly, and the rest of the blacksmiths, so they also began to nod one by one, Xiao Tianjian looked at everyone, and also nodded and laughed.

After a while, the blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop all laughed and let out a loud laugh.

"Alright, let's go about your business first! Master Yang, let's go! Go outside and try your shot at the bird's gun! I received a message from Zhang Chao, and I rushed over without stopping! Xiao Tianjian raised his hand to stop everyone's laughter, then let them disperse, pulled Yang Changshou and said to him as he walked.

Yang Changshou nodded again and again, walked in front and led the way, and came to a slightly open place on the backing mountain behind the iron work, and brought a brand-new bird gun that had not even had time to paint on the butt of the gun, and handed it to Xiao Tianjian.

"General, this is the freshly built bird gun, we have tried it, it will definitely not explode, please try the gun!" Yang Changshou said to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian stretched out his hand to take over the bird, as soon as he started it, he felt a heavy press, which made people feel at ease, and the length of the gun body reached more than one meter and five meters after the unique shoulder butt of the Xingtian Army, which was almost equal to the height of ordinary people, whether it was weight or length, it exceeded the bird gun they used before, almost a bit like a trumpet nine-headed bird, to some extent, it is not wrong to say that it is Lu Mi Gong, but Xiao Tianjian has not seen Lu Mi Gong, so it is impossible to make a comparison at the moment, But in his opinion, his new style of bird, even if he encounters Lu Mi, he may not be at a disadvantage.

After Xiao Tianjian took the bird, he carefully looked at the brand-new bird's gun up and down, and immediately asked people to bring ammunition, loaded it into the bird's gun, and after ramming it with a cane, he poured primer medicine into the medicine pool, which covered the medicine pool lid, lit the fire rope, and completed a series of loading actions.

On this open field, thirty, fifty, seventy, and one hundred paces, each of them stood a thick pine plank, the size of a door, with a large red dot painted on it, apparently as a target for testing the gun.

Xiao Tianjian is not nonsense, everything must be personally inspected before talking, so he immediately chose the wooden target fifty steps away, and picked up this bird gun, this new bird gun is very heavy, when holding the gun, but also because of the growth of the strength arm, it is a little difficult for the gun operator to aim according to the gun, but for Xiao Tianjian, he is already tall and big, his arms are also long, and his strength is also very large, and the weight of more than ten catties is not enough to affect his aiming according to the gun, so for him, the impact is not big, after holding the gun, he aimed at the wooden target steadily, After stabilizing his arm, he immediately pulled off the dragon head with the fire rope in it.

Immediately a dull sound sounded, a ball of flame erupted from the mouth of the gun, and a large cloud of smoke came out, and Xiao Tianjian also felt that the butt on his shoulder hit the back heavily while firing, indicating that the recoil of this bird gun is already considerable, and people with little strength are really not easy to aim at the gun, so we have to find a way to solve it.

After he fired a shot, he threw the bird gun to a guard and asked him to reload, while he led the people towards the wooden target, and after walking in front of the wooden target, Xiao Tianjian immediately lay on the wooden target to check.

I saw a hole under the red heart of the wooden target, and the wooden target more than an inch thick was completely penetrated by his shot just now, if it was hit on a person, even if it was worn with iron armor, this shot was enough to penetrate the iron armor and enter the human body, which showed that this new bird gun, no problem in quality, at least about fifty steps in power, was able to inflict fatal damage on the enemy wearing iron armor.

After watching it, Xiao Tianjian said with a smile: "The accuracy at this distance is not bad, and the power is enough, it seems that this time to improve the bird gun, it is still right!" Fifty steps to break the armor is no problem! Go back and try again at 70 steps! ”

In one afternoon, Xiao Tianjian used this bird gun to shoot thirty or forty shots, each shot had to check the effect of the shooting, and Xiao Tianjian also constantly asked people to hang various armor on these wooden targets to conduct tests to fully test the power of this new type of bird gun.

After an afternoon of testing, Xiao Tianjian's face was blackened, and his eyes were also painful from the smoke, but he didn't care at all, and he was enthusiastic about the test one shot after another.

In the end, Xiao Tianjian came to such a conclusion about this new bird gun, this new bird gun has basically achieved his ideal purpose, fifty steps, can break heavy armor, cause fatal damage to the enemy, seventy steps away (basically rely on Meng, the hit rate is not high), can break the ordinary iron armor, and cause death, a hundred steps away (if you hit, of course, there are still some opportunities for the target of the size of the door panel!) ), for the unarmored people can also cause fatal damage, the increased caliber makes the projectile aggravated, the damage to the enemy exceeds the original bird gun, it can already be called a killing weapon, if you want to continue to increase the power, you must continue to increase the caliber, increase the amount of charge.
