Nanjing, Zhenhuai Qiaotou.

Countless pedestrians stood in the aisle, cheering with the sound of a gunshot.

"The mantis arm is a car!"

Yang Qing said disdainfully.

In front of him, another challenger fell.

Like a winning cowboy, he blew the smoke from the muzzle of the gun, then casually threw the flintlock pistol to the brocade guards on the side, raised his hand to greet the onlookers on both sides, and sat back into his carriage amid cheers. His carriage started slowly, and soon ran over the god warrior in front of him who was not yet dead, and the god warrior under the wheel stretched out his hand with the tremor of the last moment of his life......

This is the tenth challenger.

Since Yang Qing issued a challenge to the believers of Hu Shen, there will be such warriors almost every month to entertain the people of Nanjing.

At the beginning, Yang Qing also arranged to make a grand event on the treasure gate, but later he was too lazy to be so troublesome, basically there was such a roadblock challenge, and he solved it directly on the spot, anyway, there were so many, and the people of Nanjing had long lost their initial interest in this kind of thing. The seventh duel with a master was actually less than 5,000 spectators in total, and the market was so sluggish that it obviously belonged to an outdated star, so why delay the time?

Just solve it on the spot!

"Master Hou, the abbot of Shaolin Temple refuses to duel with you."

Said to the secretary sitting in the carriage.

It is said that Zhongyonghou is also a person with a secretary now, and he actually has a secretariat waiting for him now, and the director of the secretariat is Shi Kefa's heir Shi Dewei, with dozens of second or third generations of Yang Qing's henchmen, to handle various affairs for Zhongyonghou.

"He is relying on himself on Li Zicheng's territory!"

Yang Qing sneered.

Indeed, the Shaolin Temple is in Li Zicheng's territory, to be precise, in the buffer zone between the two sides, because Li Zicheng's territory in Luoyang and the Ming army are divided into eight passes, and Shaolin Temple is outside the Yuyuan Pass.

But close to the pass.

The Ming army was stationed in Zami County, before Li Zicheng moved the people of Dengfeng into Luoyang, and the two sides set aside the Dengfeng generation as a buffer zone, but these temples are definitely not in the scope of migration, and the masters of Shaolin Temple are still in the temple. But without the tenants, they had to farm in Dengfeng by themselves, as for the wives and daughters of those tenants, what should the masters do, this is unknown, their shops in Luoyang were also confiscated by Yuan Zongdi, usury was invalidated, and the masters' cultivation was severely hit.

Fortunately, it hasn't been burned yet.

"Isn't there still Southern Shaolin?"

Yang Qing said.

"Nan Shaolin also refuses to duel with you, they say that the family is mainly Qing cultivation, no matter these red and mundane things, practicing martial arts is to deepen cultivation, not to fight bravely!"

The secretary said.

Obviously, the masters are well versed in this, they will not fail if they don't fight, and they resolutely don't give Yang Qing a chance to defeat themselves, since Yang Qing has not defeated them, then they are still boundless in Buddhism. As for the establishment of the Department of Education and Management in the future, they had to endure it silently, the masters' forbearance skills are the first in the world, and the evil demons are rampant in the world in darkness, this is just fate, this is the retribution of the world's ignorance. But the boundless Dharma will still have a bright day after all, when everyone will continue to come out and share the prosperous world, Amitabha, my Buddha's compassion, are all destined things that do not need to be forced.

The three martial arts and one sect have survived, and they are still afraid of Yang Qing, a mere demon.

Deal......

It's a big deal, forbearance!

"Hmph, this is the master!"

Yang Qing said disdainfully.

It's the same whether you can't bear it or not, anyway, the meridian boundaries in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are completely completed, including the fields of the bald heads, and the rest is just a piece of order, and then these fields are directly collected as official fields. As for the future life of the masters, they can rent a piece of land in the Huangzhuang to support themselves, but because they do not serve in the military, their land rent is a little more.

The militia is up to 40 percent.

As for them, they will pay 60% at most!

And if the masters disagree......

Don't worry about Yang Qing, those tenants will let them agree, at this time, the tenants from all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be looking forward to the landlord rebellion, and then they don't have to be loyal and brave, they will take down these guys themselves, and they will be happy to be emperors.

Therefore, Donglin Qunxian can only use Yingjia to deal with Yang Qing.

The others are laughing!

Even Donglin Qunxian couldn't bear this, let alone those masters whose combat strength was one level lower.

As he spoke, Yang Qing's carriage drove out of Jubaomen in the salute of the soldiers on both sides, quickly turned to the highway of Sanhetu, and then went east along this road out of the Waiguo Gaoqiao Gate, drove into the gate of the Jinyiwei Ordnance Institute, and went straight into a factory.

"Master Hou!"

Song Yingxing, who was already here, stepped forward.

Yang Qing casually waved his hand to him and the craftsmen who greeted him, and walked directly to a huge water wheel, the lower half of which landed in a channel that was not too wide but very deep. The channel comes in from the outside, and the clear mountain stream water flows rapidly inside, and it rotates with the wheel of water, which has a gear at the end of the shaft, and the gear carries a number of other gears, and finally the slow speed becomes a very fast speed, and the last gear is connected to another shaft......

All gears and shafts at both ends are equipped with copper, and they are constantly lubricated with castor oil in the tile seat.

The last shaft is not the same.

The shaft rests on two huge bearings.

The real bearings, the balls, for the balls Yang Qing worked hard, the best steel, the top craftsmen of the lost wax method casting, and then after scrapping 80%, these steel balls were cast for him. In order to ensure that the accuracy error is as small as possible, each steel ball is about to catch up with the size of the date, so the whole bearing looks quite domineering, and the senior craftsmen who originally made jewelry were found to polish it, and finally got these two treasures.

At this time, these two treasures ensure the smooth rotation of the last shaft.

This shaft protrudes into a barrel.

The spindle speed is not very fast, not at all the same level as those on modern boring machines, but it is still extremely fast in this era.

The cannon is mounted on a base with a slide rail underneath, and it is fixed, relying on the craftsman to turn the handwheel to push the inner screw forward a little bit, and the shaft end cutter that is stretched into it continuously cuts off the excess part of the inner wall, so that the original irregular inner wall becomes a regular cylinder......

This is Yang Qing's artillery boring machine.

The error is huge, because of the problem of deflection he can't get a really accurate cylinder at all, and this problem will inevitably occur during the rotation of the long axis because of the cutting force, so even the modern barrel processing is not so simple, and his inner wall error has to be close to one millimeter!

But that's enough!

There is a qualitative difference between a cannon with a processed chamber and a cannon that has not been processed.

"It's done!"

The craftsman suddenly shouted.

The gate of the canal slowly fell, the gate on the other side slowly opened, the water flow was immediately diverted, the huge water wheel stopped rotating, the workers loosened the fixation of the cannon at the fastest speed, and then pushed through the gantry crane on the track, and used the inverted chain to lift the barrel of the three-pound cannon and push it aside and put it on the trolley, and then the workers pulled it away. At the same time, another casting to be processed was pushed over, and the position of the original cannon of the boring machine was fixed with a gantry crane, because this casting was much shorter, so the base also needed to be adjusted. And its inner diameter is also much larger, this copycat version is not a real boring machine, so the front end of the cutter head also needs to be replaced, and even because it is not the previous bronze that needs to be dealt with, even the cutter on the cutter head must be replaced.

Soon everything was adjusted.

As soon as the two gates fall together, the water pushes the runner again, and as the shaft rotates at high speed, the boring cutter begins to shave off the steel chips inside.

"What is this?"

Song Yingxing asked curiously.

The thing resembles a mortar, but it is made of cast steel, and the outer walls are not thick.

"This is the future."

Yang Qingshen said babblingly.

"What future?"

Song Yingxing asked.

"The future of everything, the future of the Ming Empire, the future of the Chinese nation, and even the future of all human beings on this planet! Remember this moment, remember this day, remember this year, at 2:40 p.m. on the first day of February in the second year of Daming Longxing, a new era began. By the way, also remember the names of these people, they are starting a geming, industrial geming, their names including you and I should be inscribed on the monument! ”

Yang Qing shouted in a convulsive manner.

Everyone was eye-catching.

Well, this is his steam engine cylinder.

What is an error of close to one millimeter? Wilkinson's first cylinder errors for Watt are described in terms of the thickness of the penny, which is 0.91 millimeters thick as measured by modern times. In fact, Watt's earliest cylinders were not boring at all, but wrapped in a log mold, and then hammered out little by little with a small hammer like a sheet metal worker, and his cylinder was not made of steel.

Of course, not iron.

It's tin.

It's just hand-pounded and riveted.

And Yang Qing, what is this? Cast steel, real cast steel made of crucible steel, and then boring out with a boring machine, the starting point is one grade higher than the watt, and this boring machine is not special, and it can also be designed to improve the accuracy in the future. The most important thing about Watt's steam engine being practical was not his design, but that he had an industrial base that could support his design. Without Wilkinson's hydraulic boring machine, Watt would have fallen on the same path as his predecessors who tried to improve the steam engine, nor did Huntsman's crucible steel, and Wilkinson's hydraulic boring machine had no qualified boring tools.

What a heroic brain hole to use tin to knock out the cylinder and rivet it!

Watt's brain hole is not only this.

There is also a sealing ring that uses hemp rope as a cylinder!

However, Yang Qing's is not a really high-end goods, he is actually making a steam pump, Daming's current coal mining industry is thriving, but the rainy characteristics of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River make the coal mine drainage problem more and more serious. He was going to use this thing to build a batch of the most rudimentary steam pumping engines and then use them in the coal mines, as for the steam warship, the steam engine that obviously took time and had an accuracy of one millimeter could not drive a steam-powered warship under any circumstances.

This is just the beginning.

The future of steam battleships is still far away! (https:)
