As soon as Zhang Bin's idea of the field tiger squat cannon was finished, Wang Zheng's cannon barrel happened to be drilled.

He stepped forward and asked expectantly, "My lord, how is it, this drilling machine is okay, right?" ”

Zhang Bin did not hesitate to praise: "Well, very good, Liangfu, you did a good job, I really didn't expect that you would be able to make the drilling machine so quickly, which will play a decisive role in the battle to exterminate pirates next year. ”

When Wang Zheng heard this, he arched his hand excitedly and said, "My lord, I have won the prize, I have won the prize." ”

Zhang Bin took a turn of breath and pointed to the drilling machine in front of him: "However, this drilling machine is still a bit simple, and many places still need to be improved, such as the fixed wall panels on both sides, it is definitely not possible to use wooden boards, you are only processing dozens of pounds of tiger squat guns, it is estimated that this wooden board will not support for a long time, not to mention hundreds of catties or even thousands of catties of giant cannons, the fixed wall panels on both sides or the bracket should at least use copper castings, and it is best to use cast iron." ”

Wang Zheng nodded again and again: "The subordinates understand, the subordinates understand, aren't they in a hurry to make samples, so they made up with thick wooden boards first, and they will definitely be changed to castings in the future." ”

Zhang Bin was relieved: "Well, it's good if you can understand, let's go and see the lathe again." ”

With that, he walked directly to the lathe not far away, and everyone behind him hurriedly followed.

This lathe, how to say it, is similar to a drilling machine, simple and scary, but the whole has been assembled, it seems to be able to run, just now Zhang Bin listened to the knife outside, Wang Zheng seemed to say that the hardness of the turning tool is not enough.

He walked directly to him and saw that the clamp should be the sub-gun of the tiger squat cannon, which is also cast copper, the length is only about one foot, and the size is the thickness of the arm.

Cast copper is much worse than cast iron in terms of hardness, and the cast iron made into knives has generally been tempered by thousands of tempers, and it has almost advanced to the level of 100 steel, and the hardness after quenching is much stronger than that of cast copper, how can it not be hard?

He looked curiously at the turning knife leaning on the tiger squat cannon, this time, he fainted by mistake, Wang Zheng actually made the turning knife look like a knife!

The turning tool is not like an ordinary knife, the meaning of this knife does not refer to its shape, but to its function, the turning tool is used to cut metal, so it is called a knife, as for the shape, it should be made into a long strip, not an ordinary knife.

It's also to blame that he didn't make it clear when he introduced, just said a name, and function, and forgot to say the appearance.

Wang Zheng is the first time to make a lathe, and it is good to be able to make the main structure according to what he said, and it is normal for him to think of these details.

Zhang Bin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Liangfu, I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear to you at the time, this knife is actually not knife-shaped, but long-striped, just like that ink stick." ”

As he spoke, he deliberately pointed to the rectangular ink stick on the desk not far away.

Wang Zheng looked at the ink stick, and then at the knife clamped on the lathe, his face was full of shock, the knife, can it still be made into a long strip?

Zhang Bin simply walked to the desk, came over with an ink stick, leaned a corner against the tiger squat cannon and instructed: "Look, that's what it looks like, just sharpen this corner a little bit and sharpen it out an edge." The reason why the edge of your turning knife is gone after a few turns is not because the hardness is not enough, but because the thickness is not enough, and it is broken! ”

When Wang Zheng heard this, he suddenly realized, his face showed a crazy look again, and before Zhang Bin could react, he roared excitedly: "Blacksmith Zhao, Blacksmith Zhao, come here." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, his face was full of black lines, and he grabbed Wang Zheng and said with concern: "Liangfu, don't forget to sleep and eat so much, your body will not be able to support it, it's all meal, it's time to eat." I've already booked a table at the Guanchaolou in the city, you go and clean up first, and we'll go to dinner together later." ”

When Wang Zheng heard this, he shook his head again and again and said, "My lord, I'm not hungry, you go and eat, just bring me some back, I'll eat later." ”

While the two were talking, a burly middle-aged man ran over and said, "Lord Wang, what do you command?" ”

This person should be Blacksmith Zhao, Wang Zheng directly pulled him to the lathe, holding an ink stick in his hand, and compared with him.

Zhang Bin couldn't pull him either, so he could only stand aside and wait, but after waiting for a while, Zhang Bin suddenly turned his head to look around, and then ordered: "Chuyang, you send someone to Guanchaolou and ask them to send the banquet I ordered directly here." Chang Gung, you go and let people move tables and chairs in, it's much warmer here than other places, let's just eat here. ”

Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing heard this, and immediately walked out, and after a while, Song Yingxing came over with a few people, carrying tables and chairs. ”

When Wang Zheng and the others heard that the person standing next to Zhang Bin silently was actually the political envoy of Zuobu, they hurriedly stood up and arched their hands: "I don't know if it was Lord Bi in person, offended, offended." ”

Bi Maokang smiled and said: "What Lord Bi, I was also brought by the Governor to make weapons, everyone, don't be polite, sit down, sit down." ”

The big man of Zheng Erpin made weapons, and these words really thundered everyone present, Wang Zheng and the others sat down with doubts on their faces, this wine and food have not been served yet, they are a little dizzy.

Zhang Bin nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, Meng Hou is not wrong, he was invited by me to come over to make weapons, and in the future, everyone will not see outside, they are all their own people, and the vulgar etiquette will be exempted." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that Wang Chengen on the side seemed a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly continued: "If you want to say that we have the biggest official here, it should be this prince, he is the proud protégé of Gonggong Cao, and the big celebrity in front of the emperor." ”

When Wang Chengen heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Lord Zhang, I have tormented the villain, but I don't dare to say so, I am a miscellaneous person under Engong's hand, and when Engong came, he also specially confessed, and asked me to listen to Master Zhang." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Bin laughed and said: "Chengen, don't be so restrained, I'll just make a joke, everyone is their own person, don't be so nervous, hahahaha." ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, Bi Maokang was nothing, because he knew the relationship between Zhang Bin and Cao Huachun, but Wang Zheng and several of them were shocked in their hearts, this Lord Zhang is really hand-eyed, listening to the tone of this prince, Cao Huachun, the big eunuch in the palace, has a lot to do with Lord Zhang, this Cao Huachun is equivalent to a character like Wei Zhongxian!

Of course, they don't know that Cao Huachun doesn't have power like Wei Zhongxian, and Chongzhen doesn't care about anything like his imperial brother Tianqi, in short, they have a big opinion of Wang Chengen's identity.

It didn't take long for the wine and food to be delivered, and under Zhang Bin's earnest persuasion, everyone drank happily, and the relationship between them became more and more harmonious.

Zhang Bin has no arrogance for his own people, he is like a family member or even a brother to them, very kind, and it is precisely because of his habit that as long as he follows his cronies, he will never abandon him, just like a close comrade-in-arms on the battlefield.
