The status of the No. 1 base is the same as that of the Qingshan Iron and Steel Plant, which can provide a steady stream of steel for the No. 1 base, and the steel industry is not uncommon in this era, so Yunyi uses the steel plant to attract the attention of outsiders, and then hides the No. 1 base deeply.

The No. 1 base is strategically located, and there is only one road in and out of the No. 1 base, as long as a checkpoint is set up on this road, it is very difficult for outsiders to enter the No. 1 base.

It's just that it's not easy for an innate martial artist to enter the No. 1 base, and it's even more difficult to come out, not to mention that every innate martial artist is a major force Dinghai Shenshen Needle-like existence, and will not easily leave their own sphere of influence, for a long time, Yun Yi does not need to worry about the situation in the No. 1 base being discovered by outsiders.

Base 1 can be said to be Yunyi's industrial production base, capable of producing Yunyi's most needed industrial products: steam engines, steam-powered machinery, and firearms.

The steam engine is the basis of the steam industry, a large amount of steel is transported to the No. 1 base, and then the workers are made into a steam engine or steam-powered machinery, supporting the development of the No. 1 base, among which the most steam-powered machinery is made is the machine tool, which is provided by Yunyi The rough drawings, the machine tools of various functions were quickly hand-built by blacksmiths.

Machine tools have just been manufactured, and the people who build them don't know the role of machine tools, but fortunately, Yunyi's disciples were taught some relevant knowledge by Yunyi, and a large number of craftsmen were transformed into workers without considering wear and tear.

Choosing to operate the machine tool is not a trivial matter, those farmers who do not know a big word can certainly not choose, and craftsmen because of their profession can have a certain control over their own strength, especially blacksmiths have been dealing with iron all their lives, they can master the technology of controlling machine tools faster.

It is also a difficult thing for craftsmen to give up their craft work and become workers who control machine tools, before craftsmen live by their own craft, as long as the craft is still there, just change a place and still be able to live, once the craft is lost, the job is gone, then how to feed a family?

For this reason, Yunyi raised the wages of the craftsmen, and the previous ordinary craftsmen only earned 15 silver a month, which could basically meet the needs of the family.

Now craftsmen become skilled workers who control machine tools, skilled workers are divided into nine levels from level one to nine, the lowest level has a monthly income of only 15 silver, but as long as the technical level is increased by one level, the monthly income will increase by 3 silver on the basis of the previous level, if it reaches the ninth level, the monthly income will increase to 44 silver, and this increase will increase in the future.

Moreover, the craftsmanship of craftsmen is passed from father to son and son to grandchildren, and in most families, the father and son are craftsmen, and the monthly income of this family is already a relatively high number.

With these craftsmen-turned-workers, the workers operate the machine tools and continue to manufacture the machine tools at a speed that is several times faster than the previous hammers, and the speed of industrial development is accelerating.

Machine tools, this is what Yunyi wants most, with machine tools, not only can make other machinery, but also can manufacture firearms in batches, and quickly improve Yun's force.

This world is a low-martial world, and even most of the countries that were or are now were established by powerful martial artists, but the shortage of cultivation resources makes the number of martial artists relatively scarce.

To use the analogy of literate people, the high cost of paper, ink, pen and inkstone makes the number of literate people very small, and one literate person in every twenty people is considered a lot, which is still counting those who do not know much.

Warriors know how to read, that's for sure, and they can't read cheats if they can't read.

There are so few literate people that the money spent on martial arts is higher than that of literacy, and the number of martial artists is even smaller and smaller, and one warrior in fifty people is considered to be a lot.

The number of warriors is so scarce, most of them are only low-level warriors, and their strength is not high, in this case, the war is still dominated by ordinary people, and most of the time, strategy is more effective than powerful warriors.

However, Yunhua County has the name of a county but not a county, the population of Yunhua County is much smaller than other counties, and the population also represents the war potential, the population is small, and in the era of war, there are fewer troops that can be pulled up.

If the quantity can't fight the enemy, then win by quality, and it is not advisable to train all the soldiers of the army into warriors, so make firearms to form a firearms army, and it is difficult for warriors to resist the power of firearms.

In three years, under the leadership of Yunyi's disciples, the arsenal in Base One produced a total of four types of firearms: firearms, artillery, rockets, and grenades.

There are four types, but fortunately there are many different types of firearms.

Firecrackers, used by individual soldiers, flintlock, are mainly divided into infantry guns (long guns), sniper guns, and hand guns (short guns).

Infantry gun, front-loading rifled gun, gun length 5 feet (1.5 meters), total weight 10 catties 8 taels, caliber 6 points (18 mm), the use of Migne bullets, each bullet weighs 6 points (30 grams), the killing distance can reach 300 zhang (900 meters), 180 zhang can ensure accurate hit target.

The sniper gun is similar to the infantry gun, but with a quadruple scope.

Handcuffs, front-loading rifled guns, the gun is one foot two inches long, the total weight is 2 catties and 4 taels, the caliber is 4 points, the killing distance can reach 15 zhang, and the effective firing range is 10 zhang.

All three sizes of muskets are front-loading rifled guns, all of which use Miner, and those who are skilled can shoot more than six times in one minute with an infantry gun, and more often with a handcuff.

The Minne bullet is a slightly smaller caliber than the fire gun, so it solves the embarrassing situation that the bullet cannot be stuffed into the barrel or clogs the barrel due to the large size of the bullet when the front rifled gun is loaded in one fell swoop.

The Mineer bullet can be easily pushed into the chamber with a ram lever, which greatly increases the rate of fire, and the bullet is threaded around the body to match the rifling, the middle of the thread is filled with animal oil, and the bottom of the bullet is made of cork.

When firing, the gunpowder gas hits the cork, and the cork suddenly supports the bullet after the instantaneous impact, because the bullet is propped up, so at the moment of firing, it can rely on the bullet itself to complete the sealing of the chamber without leaking the gunpowder gas and causing the loss of kinetic energy of the bullet.

In this way, the problem of sealing the chamber of the front-loading rifled gun is solved, and the rate of fire, firing range and safety of the gun are greatly enhanced (the good sealing is not easy to cause the residue of gunpowder residue to block the barrel and cause the chamber to explode).

As for the rifling of the barrel of the firebolt, it is also a relatively easy problem to solve, even without steam-powered machine tools, the craftsman alone can pull out the rifling of the barrel with a manual wooden machine.

Note 1: Well, the ancient unit can be both a unit of mass and a unit of weight, there is no solution.

Note 2: Modern units in parentheses will be omitted in the future.
