However, there are several organizations in Bengang that are independent of these administrative bodies, and they are also developing very quickly, which is very helpful to the whole team.

One is naturally the R&D institute headed by Chen Chengcai and Yang Zhi, and their members in recent years have grown from more than a dozen people at the beginning to more than 100 educated and flexible team members under their command today.

Compared with the few small inventions before, there are more and more inventions and improvements in the R&D institute, and several of them are of great help to the development of Li Tianyang's team.

The cement formula has developed a second generation of harder and faster condensing products, and compared with the first generation formula, this second-generation formula should be completely similar to the real cement in later generations in Li Tianyang's eyes.

One of the biggest improvements is the addition of iron filings when firing cement, which is a by-product of the waste used by the members of the R&D institute to add the iron filings left over from the blacksmith struck by the blacksmith to the cement raw materials.

For this reason, Li Tianyang gave a rich reward to this innovative member, and one hundred silver dollars of one or two weights were handed over to this team member by Yumo in front of all the members of the R&D Institute. Of course, the rewards are not only these, but also ten exquisite silk horses, five acres of land belonging to him, and all kinds of miscellaneous things, which made him a small rich man in the research and development institute all of a sudden.

Inspired by this, the members of the R&D institute are also desperately using their brains and trying their best to learn and learn more new things.

The discovery and development of Black Treasure Coal has made it possible for all fuel-hungry industries in Bengang to no longer use wood, a waste of raw materials, and the flame temperature is even higher.

The emergence of coking coal was inspired by the R&D Institute based on Li Tianyang's limited knowledge, and finally hundreds of years earlier than later generations.

Although the use of coal tar is not yet known, the R&D institute has also collected the by-products produced by this coking coal, hoping to find its use value through experiments.

With the advent of coking coal, there has been a new development in the technology of large-scale steelmaking. Compared with the previous use of charcoal to achieve the temperature of iron melting, the effect of coking coal with a blower can easily reach the melting point of iron.

And Li Tianyang's shallow knowledge of chemistry has once again made contributions, although he has forgotten what the specific content is, but Li Tianyang probably remembers that pig iron is an iron product with a carbon content exceeding a certain standard; Steel, on the other hand, is an iron-carbon alloy produced by strictly controlling the carbon element within a certain range; As for wrought iron, it is a state in which the carbon content is lower than a certain standard, but the true characteristics of iron are revealed.

That is, Li Tianyang's specious words have made an extremely important inspiration to the R&D Institute. After discussion and research with the craftsmen of the craftsman's workshop, the R&D institute finally developed a building that produced steel in batches by continuously stirring the molten iron and the infusion of air to achieve the excessive carbon content in the molten iron, which was named a blast furnace by Li Tianyang.

It's just that this blast furnace building has technical flaws and omissions for the time being, and the carbon content in the molten iron cannot be estimated, so the steel materials produced are uneven, and there is a large gap in the hardness of each batch of materials, and the masters of the craftsman workshop need to carry out secondary processing to achieve the expected results.

But that's it, but also make great progress in the people's livelihood and military of Bengang, in the Ming Dynasty is not able to make steel in batches, when the blacksmith master needs to rely on the method of thousands of hammers to make steel knives and other tools, Bengang has been able to refine steel in batches.

This is of great significance, just from the iron tools used in the hands of the people in Bengang and Jilong Harbor are all harder and more durable steel, you can get a glimpse of one or two, not to mention the research and development of gunpowder appliances that the R&D Institute has not stopped!

Of course, there are other technologies such as the production process of fine white sugar, the production method of colored glass, etc., and the R&D Institute has devoted itself to research through the vague description method from some books, and finally turned them into realistic technical reserves from the literal, which will not be introduced here one by one.

In addition to the R&D Institute, another technical institution in Bengang, Craftsman Zuofang, has also made great contributions to the team.

Li Tianyang broke the ancient way of performing their duties in all walks of life, and mixed blacksmiths, carpenters and other technical jobs into a craftsman workshop, in which the person in charge of the workshop was Master Wanliang, who had made small achievements in construction.

Strongly encouraged by Li Tianyang's innovative technology, the masters of many craftsman workshops have broken the previous situation of sticking to stereotypes and resting on their laurels, and have communicated with other peers, and even cross-industry exchanges. Their first collective work brought a huge change to Bengang and Joncoop Harbor to revolutionize an industry.

The finished product they submitted was a behemoth, up to a height of about three or four zhang, and a weight of thousands of catties, so that this giant just stood there, and there was a deep sense of power. An inverted "L" shaped arm as thick as a bucket sticks out about two feet, and several sets of pulleys are hung on it, connected by long ropes. The base is thick and thick, with several iron gears snapping together, and a rocker sticking out next to it, which can be rotated to move the outstretched arm from side to side.

With such an introduction, I am afraid that many people in later generations can guess that this thing is a hoisting machine.

With the addition of this thing, the human resources required on the Bengang Wharf and Jilong Port Wharf have dropped rapidly, which not only alleviates the already scarce human resources in the two places, but also saves more effort and time than manpower to handle goods.

Of course, the process of this hoisting machine is quite complicated, and the outstretched arm wants to be able to bear the weight of thousands of catties horizontally, which not only requires the guidance of theoretical mathematics and physical knowledge, but also needs to gather the cooperation of blacksmiths, carpenters, and bow and arrow makers and other craftsmen, and use their practical experience to practice, and finally create such a behemoth.

In addition, there are waterwheels and water mills that use water conservancy, which bring great convenience to the daily life of ordinary residents, and thus bring rich benefits to themselves.

Li Tianyang is not a stingy person, although things like waterwheels and water mills are not the first inventions of craftsmen, but Li Tianyang still pays them high wages according to the number of finished products they create.

Even for convenient facilities such as the water mill, Li Tianyang will also share part of the low handling fee collected to these craftsmen and masters. Although the total amount is not high, it is better in the long run, and the more time passes, the more cost-effective the income is than the one-time payment of wages.

All kinds of actions have aroused the motivation of many craftsmen and masters to invent, that is, without Li Tianyang's urging, there are many craftsmen and masters who take out their leisure time to make inventions and creations out of their own pockets, and there is always a shining idea from time to time.

In particular, Li Tianyang brought together the craftsmen and masters in Bengang, and re-subdivided them on the basis of zhang, ruler, inch, and minute. The finer length unit, and the strict testing of the quality and specifications of the products produced, corrected the bad problems of most craftsmen, and laid the foundation for future large-scale production.

Finally, there is another institution that is independent of and closely connected to many industries, and that is the Bengang Mint and the coin exchange that goes with it.

Now that Li Tianyang and his team are under influence, the only currency recognized by their team is the silver dollar issued by themselves. As for the silver ingots, loose silver and copper plates, which were widely circulated in the Ming Dynasty, they needed to be revalued at the exchange office and exchanged for silver dollars.

The common people were happy to exchange the scattered silver and silver ingots in their hands for silver dollars issued by Bengang, because of the wide range of sources of silver ingots in the Ming Dynasty, among which adulterated silver ingots are common in the market, and lack of fineness has been a common problem in this era.

The Bengang silver dollar is the silver ingot re-furnace re-rebuilt, and purified again after the product, not only full of color, but also the style of the silver coin is beautiful and exquisite, the weight difference between each silver coin is not more than half a centimeter, is convenient for everyone to use, worthy of everyone's trust to maintain the value of the credit currency.

Even in the gradual improvement of foreign trade in the Chicken Coop Harbor, many pirates and merchants were willing to exchange the silver coins in their hands from complicated sources into strips of oil paper wrapped in oil paper, and each of them was just twenty silver dollars to bring back for collection, or circulate in the Chicken Coop Harbor.

To this end, the Bengang Mint worked overtime every day to produce silver coins, and also asked the craftsmen of the craftsman workshop to improve the method of currency minting and switch to the use of clay fans, which are easier to make, to make money in batches. Even so, it can only meet the speed of currency outflow at the time of chicken coop port trading.

Even, in the end, Bengang will only have monetary attributes, but the less circulating gold is also made into the same gold coin, and at the same time stipulates that the exchange ratio of gold and silver currency is about 1:10, which can be exchanged at any time according to the price of gold and silver in the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

In this regard, all kinds of measures and the establishment of many institutions, although in order to avoid suspicion, did not dare to attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty, the names of most of the institutions, Li Tianyang changed slightly according to the names of later generations. But in fact, these institutions are buying dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the functions and powers they exercise have included basically all the functions of the inland government of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that due to the limitation of knowledge and the differences between the later generations and the different contemporary eras, the fugitive administrative team designed by Li Tianyang inevitably has such and such shortcomings, but it is enough to deal with the two strongholds of Bengang and Jicoop for the time being.

In the future, Li Tianyang and they are also growing, and they will naturally improve this set of teams, and these later words will not be elaborated on.

A sad story.,Yesterday on the last day of September, the last update.,Because I'm in a hurry to go out and be happy with my friends.,The chapter that was originally written was finally careless to me.,Directly forgot to upload an update.,By the time I remembered,,It's past twelve o'clock.。

This also means that I insisted on 4,000 per day for 29 days, and when I was trembling at the end, I was broken, and I was not even given the opportunity to redeem a leave note.

This also means that my efforts this month have once again come to naught, which really makes my little brother sad and regretful!!

In addition, yesterday I went to eat and drink, and picked up a red envelope, which contained more than 1,000 cash, and the little brother handed it over to the host in the spirit of picking up gold, and in the end there was not even a word of thanks!!
