The dark void envelops the city like a dome.

Lin Mu, who left the lead factory, did not rush out, but continued to drive to the e-commerce park in S City.

This is the largest e-commerce park in China, and almost any commodity in the country can be found in the warehouses in the e-commerce park.

On the way to the lead factory, he suddenly thought of this, he used to be an online shopping freak, often shopping online, in a time of browsing in the online store he found that there are also small manual lathes for sale on the Internet, this kind of lathes have a rocker, as long as the hand shakes to work.

Although he found a steel tube suitable for the Mini rifle, the bolt part of the rifle required precise parts, and if it was only forged by hand, it would be difficult for the craftsmen of the Hua Dynasty to produce the same standard parts.

As a result, every Mini rifle is different, and once the rifle is damaged, it can be difficult to find the right parts to repair.

Therefore, the Mini rifle only appeared in the mid-nineteenth century not only because of the brain, but also because the West had the industrial capacity to match this brain, not that the Mini rifle could be produced with a drawing.

It is with this in mind that he will come to the e-commerce park to find a hand-cranked lathe, with these hand-cranked lathes he can't produce large parts, but the precision production of bolt parts for the Mini rifle is enough.

After getting out of the car, Lin Mu went straight to the warehouse of the e-commerce park, searched the past one by one, and it took him a long time to find a batch of hand-cranked lathes in an e-commerce warehouse specializing in lathe machine tools.

"Hand drilling machine, hand grinding machine, hand milling machine." Lin Mu looked at them one by one.

These are some small hand-cranked lathes, but can only be used to produce some small parts, but they have made up the "three major machines", in the contemporary difficult era, most factories have these three kinds of machine tools, and with a group of good fitters, you can use standardized steel to manufacture the vast majority of ordinary mechanical parts.

Therefore, for Lin Mu, as long as he finds these three kinds of lathes, it is enough to use them at present.

Silently remembering the location of this machinery warehouse, Lin Mu left the urban space, and he was not ready to let Lin Qi transport this batch of hand-cranked lathes back.

For the sake of insurance, when he returns to Jiangning, he will personally take out the foreign trade goods and use them confidentially.

"Big brother, the warehouse has been bought."

In the evening, Lin Qi returned, and he completed the task in time, looking relaxed.

Lin Mu, who had rested for an afternoon, regained his energy at this time, and time was pressing, so Lin Mu directly asked Lin Qi to take him to the warehouse he had just bought.

After determining the location of the warehouse, he said: "There will be a transaction here tonight, and tomorrow the warehouse will be filled with the supplies that Jiang Ning needs, you should prepare the ship now and deliver the goods tomorrow." ”

"Yes, big brother." Lin Qi didn't ask much, he took someone back, Lin Mu asked him to come here on the condition that he was tight-lipped, he knew what to do.

When Lin Qi disappeared, Shan Hu immediately took the guards who followed the trip to guard around the warehouse, while Lin Mu entered the warehouse in the night and filled the warehouse with war resources one by one.

The next day, after Lin Qi got Lin Mu's order, he brought people to the warehouse, and after opening the warehouse, he looked at the materials in the warehouse in surprise.

"Big brother is really a god, with these things, Ning Jun is saved." Lin Qi exclaimed, and then he said solemnly: "Load these things on the ship and transport them back to Jiangning immediately, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Lin Mu didn't sleep all night, and he wanted to go back with this batch of supplies.

"Lin Qi, at the moment of crisis, the Lin family's focus is on the construction of the Ning Army, so I have to go back." Lin Mu patted Lin Qi on the shoulder.

Lin Qi nodded, "Big brother, Lin Qi knows how to measure, if the Jin people win the world, we won't have a good life in the future." ”

"It's good that you understand, crises, crises, dangers and opportunities coexist, whether our Lin family can take advantage of the Jin Bing's rise to the south depends on this time." After a pause, Lin Mu continued: "However, if the Jin soldiers go south, the domestic trade will inevitably be affected, but the Ning army is a big money-consuming household, and it can't be without silver, so you can only rely on you to plan in Songjiang." ”

As he spoke, Lin Mu pointed to one of the warehouses, "Here are some rare items from the smuggling caravan, I'll show you." ”

Lin Qi showed excitement when he heard this, and followed Lin Mu to the warehouse on the left.

"Big brother, what is this?" When Lin Qi saw the contents of the box clearly, he was surprised, and there were colorful gems inside.

"Don't be surprised, these are glasses, not worth a few silver at all, but the value is that even if foreigners are difficult to distinguish, the merchants of foreign goods stores like to collect all kinds of curiosities and present them to the officials of the court and the emperor's concubines, so it should be no problem to sell these at a high price to other merchants of foreign goods stores."

After a few rounds of rummaging, he pulled out mechanical music boxes, mirrors, pocket watches, etc., all of which were more sophisticated contemporary items than those made in the West.

Lin Qi was already dumbfounded, to him, the contents of this box were really priceless.

"You sell these first, and I'll give them to you when I'm done." Lin Mu closed the box.

"Yes, big brother." Lin Qi's awe of Lin Mu is a little more, this big brother is really a little powerful.

instructed Lin Qi, Lin Mu followed the dock workers who transported the goods on the ship, in order to get this cargo back, Lin Qi hired sixteen large ships, but even then he had to transport them back and forth two or three times.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Lin Mu noticed that an old sail-armed merchant ship flying the British flag had entered the harbor under the tow of a steamship.

Frowning, he believed that the merchant ship should belong to the British East India Company, as their merchant ships would also be armed with at least twelve guns.

According to British regulations, these ships were merchant ships in non-war times, and in the event of war, these merchant ships were incorporated into the navy and became part of the fleet.

"The gap is not a little bit." Lin Mu glanced at the merchant ships of the Hua Dynasty in the port and sighed, every dynasty is the same, the Hua Dynasty only has sailors, no navy.

The ships used by the sailors are too far behind the regular naval warships, not to mention that now that Europe has begun to equip steamships, the gates of the Japanese country have been blasted open by the warships towed by American steamships.

His eyes swept over the steam ship emitting black smoke, Lin Mu's heart was extremely uncomfortable, in contemporary times, his motherland has been blackmailed by Western technology, technological blockade is even more commonplace, and science and technology have almost become economic and war weapons.

Here, the technical level of the Chinese Dynasty is still in the feudal era, and the West has entered the steam age, all kinds of lathe machine tools are also basically mature, according to this trend will not take many years to power is estimated to be put into use.

"Time is running out." Lin Mu pursed his lips, which is why he decided to put the hand-cranked lathe into service in his private military factory.

According to the conventional route, the daylily will be cold from scratch, and now the Wa Kingdom, which is in the midst of the reform and reform, has introduced Western machinery, technology and talents on a large scale, and he naturally has to overtake in corners to obtain technical support from S City.
