Chapter 151: The Road to Innovation
(Ask for recommendations, ask for subscriptions.) )
If he wants to make continuous progress in science and technology, then Liu Wu must do everything possible to solve the narrow ideas of one family and one family, so that the idea that everyone can learn can be implemented.
Only in this way can technology have a steady stream of power.
Liu Wu looked at Tiedu, whose expression was entangled, and did not speak, but slowly walked towards the smelting platform, and his busy blacksmith looked sincerely afraid.
Tie Du came with Liu Wu at this moment, but saw Liu Wu pointing to the smelting platform and saying: "Tie Lao, I have a method to increase its output on the premise of ensuring the relevant sword casting process. ”
Out of instinct after hearing what Liu Wu said, Tie Du directly denied it: "This is impossible, now that the speed of sword casting has been increased to the extreme, it is impossible to increase the output again." ”
For professional considerations, Tiedu has his own judgment, but how can the gap in knowledge in the millennium be comparable to Tiedu.
Liu Wu was not annoyed when he saw Tie Du so resolutely denying it, but looked at Tie Du with a smile and said, "Tie Lao, so let's have a bet?"
If the method I have spoken of cannot exceed the output of the blacksmiths forged by the iron elders, the Metallurgical and Architectural Department shall reward all the craftsmen with three years, and if the great cause can be achieved in the future, the status of the blacksmiths and other craftsmen will be greatly enhanced;
However, if what I said goes beyond the output forged by the blacksmiths led by Tie Lao, then I will establish a metallurgical institute, with Tie Lao and other veteran blacksmiths as lecturers, with only one role, that is, to teach the students who join the metallurgical institute, and not to hide the slightest secret. ”
This bet is a bit big, for Tiedu, those three years of Yulu are nothing at all, but what Liu Wu said later greatly improved the status of craftsmen touched Tiedu's heart.
Looking at the scorching companion in front of him, Tie Du knew that he couldn't retreat, and if he retreated at this moment, their status as craftsmen would still be nowhere to change in the future.
Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Tiedu agreed to Liu Wu's bet, and Tiedu and Liu Wu were divided into two groups, each group could choose members from the blacksmith group at will.
Out of moral consideration, Tiedu did not hesitate to select the strongest fifty of them to form a team; In order to win the bet, Tiedu can be regarded as letting out the old face.
And Liu Wu's selection can be described as a big surprise, only twenty blacksmiths were selected, and the remaining thirty were all apprentices, which simply made everyone can't believe it at all.
After a few words, the game officially began.
The goal of the competition: to see who can forge 300 swords in the shortest time, and the one with the shortest time wins.
Successfully forging 300 sharp swords, even if it takes half a day at the fastest, so this game is destined to be a protracted battle.
In order to win the game, Tiedu personally got on the horse, personally led the fifty team members to fight on the front line, starting from the most basic forging embryo, Tiedu Their motivation is sufficient!
The competition has begun, how can the craftsmen of the smelting land be in the mood to continue working?
Similarly, Liu Wu also let the craftsmen see the power of the firewood flame that everyone gathered, so he specially approved them to temporarily put down their work to watch the game.
As soon as these words came out, the craftsmen surrounded the place of the competition.
But after seeing the competition scene, what made everyone puzzled was that compared to Tiedu's hot forging embryos, Liu Wu's place seemed a little deserted.
There are fifty people in the group, only fifteen are forging embryos, and these fifteen people are not blacksmiths at all, but apprentices, fifteen people are divided into three groups, and a group of five people is forging embryos.
There is always a group of byes to rest, and the three groups of personnel are like machines persevering in forging embryos, and the effect is not visible in a short time.
But as time goes by, the gap is gradually revealed, physical fitness with the vigorous exercise, the speed of Tiedu's group slowly decreases from the beginning of the rapid action, while Liu Wu's group does not have this kind of problem at all, fifteen people take turns to forge embryos, although they seem to be very tired, but they all have the opportunity to rotate and rest, so they are not as tired as Tiedu.
The forged semi-finished billet was not handed over to the next step of the process, but was handed over to the blacksmiths who had been waiting.
Twenty blacksmiths were divided into arrays by Liu Wu, and said that they could complete whichever part they wanted to complete, and there could be no increase in the slightest.
The semi-finished sword embryo completed by a series of forging and casting sword processes was handed over to the next group of apprentices, and a finished sword was displayed in front of everyone after grinding, sharpening, loading, wiping and other processes.
What's even more terrifying is that when the rhythm appears, what makes everyone feel incredible is that a sharp sword seems to have been agreed, and it continues to be produced.
The original sword casting process in one go was carefully divided into more than ten processes by Liu Wu: material selection, juice melting, iron embryo formation, forging embryo, casting, quenching, grinding, and finished products.
Sword forging is a craft, and it's not something you can imagine out of thin air.
It takes a lot of hard work on your part to make it, so forging a sword isn't as easy as you think.
The three hundred swords that originally took half a day to forge were all completed in only one and a half hours under Liu Wu's guidance!
And Tiedu only completed 57 swords.
Gap, it's really a huge gap!
Everyone present was dumbfounded, how is this possible, how is this done!
This......
Hell yes!
At least Tie Du is now looking at Liu Wu with a messy face, Liu Wu is very proud when he looks at everyone with a shocked expression, brother has nothing else, but the knowledge of thousands of years is enough to crush you.
Liu Wu needs to do a lot to achieve hegemony, but not only in the army, but in government affairs, he needs to build together in all aspects, and the national strength is piled up, rather than relying on just one to become strong.
Liu Wu: He used reality to deduce what assembly line operation is.
In ancient times, learning a skill required more than ten years of uninterrupted learning, and if there was a pause, it was impossible to make great progress in this skill.
In the same way, relying entirely on the master to teach by word and deed also makes his energy only teach a few people, coupled with the inculcation of the concept that the law of the ancestors cannot be violated, it is a narrow situation that a skill is directly transmitted to its door.
Now what Liu Wu wants to do is to break this situation and let more people learn what they should learn, so that they can rely on a steady stream of stamina to promote and innovate.
Maybe 10 years, 20 years, 30 years is not difficult to bring about a big change, but what about a hundred years? What about 200 years? I believe that with the change of time, it will eventually change dramatically.
Today, in front of these 925 people, Liu Wu opened a door for them, a real door, and it was because of the opening of this door that they began to come into contact with a new world.
And that's what Liu Wu wants!
