Field camp, in a makeshift preparation facility.

"The failure rate of all the armed forces in the army is still 6 percent......"

I looked in amazement at the barrel in front of me, which was already a little deformed.

"This is a bit of a ......."

"Six or seven out of a hundred just can't hit, if you go to the battlefield, it's really deadly"

"There's no way around it......"

Kong Jiji, a native of Xinzhou, is also a deputy material officer, and the sweaty efforts of steamed buns argued to me.

"Although the military-made guns moved by the official army are known as national standards, the quality is also uneven......

"According to the year and batch, the casting, forging and even hand-worn fineness are all ......"

"Even the ...... with the appearance of an iron plate rolling"

"Even if you only use the pipes in the end...... But because of the difference in process heat"

"There are also many flaws that cannot be seen with the eyes and can only be found by special fine tools."

"And there are some flaws, and you have to go through the pressure tests of various charges before they can be revealed...... We don't want to do our best."

"I see......"

I sighed in my heart, with such a quality control and attitude from the government, it is no wonder that the fire gun has not been taken seriously in the Southern Dynasties, and it has never been a climate.

"I will give you an additional maintenance office for the subordinates of the material officer, twice the manpower and funds, and the right to use the hydraulic machinery in the workshop."

"You and your people, whether it is hydraulic grinding and cutting, manual tuning......

"But this failure rate must be reduced to 1,000 percent......"

Then, at the former master Shen Yue, I saw a huge physical model standing on the ground. It's just that all four sides are covered with all sorts of things like protective nets

He was apprenticed with a group of apprentices, so busy training that he didn't have time to pay attention to me.

"Is this the pot and mule machine used to pump water in the mine......"

"It's still a little louder......"

I said to myself.

The house, which seemed to be a little unconscious, was full of some kind of multi-steaming steel-style creation, constantly emitting water vapor and ash smoke from multiple positions, and the lower hearth took up almost half of the volume, and the fire was so bright that even standing at a distance felt that the heat was pressing, and the sweaty apprentice was flipping over the doordoor cover, adding the coal and water to it.

Then, through the pipeline circulation, it is transformed into a surging output, which is similar to the reciprocating operation of a train's axle, and drives a set of transmission gears for testing, so as to compare and refer to the hydraulic machinery in the nearby workshop at full load.

Putting down a large sergeant thermometer and water pressure gauge, Shen Yue pulled me and retreated until behind a partition wall not far away before he said in a voice that could be heard by normal speech

"Don't look at its size, it's such a big piece, this is something I have simplified with reference to the mechanism principle of mining......"

He introduced the work as if he were his beloved son.

"The layout of the various pipelines and the strength of the components are all redesigned ......"

"Some new and more sophisticated materials were also used......"

At this time, those people suddenly came in a hurry, and the testing machine made some kind of hoarse noise, and then a large puff of soot was sprayed from the furnace, and it stopped with a grunt, and rushed up to open the various pipe valves, decoupling and disconnecting from the transmission mechanism, and for a time almost all of them were drowned in the steaming mist......

"It's okay now...... Finally able to run repeatedly for most of the day......"

Shen Yue turned his head and continued.

"At the beginning, all kinds of air leaks and water leaks, and it didn't last long to keep running, so I had to stop and check for leaks and adjust the pipe valve ......."

"After spending more than half an hour on the burn, it may not have been a quarter of an hour before it was lying on its stomach for various reasons......

"The ratio of coal to water consumption is not very satisfactory......

"There is also the unexpected risk of pipe bursting, splashing and injuring people......"

"Fortunately, these are slowly finding solutions now......"

"Anyway, the bunnies are just guarding day and night,"

"Trying to fix every subtlety little by little, groping for operating procedures, so that this big guy will take longer to rotate next time......"

"I believe that in the long run, there will be a prototype that initially meets the requirements of the Lord......"

"Then stick to it like this, first consider the power and stability, and then find a way to reduce the volume, don't be afraid of damaging things,......"

I bowed my head

"What I have is materials and money, and the key is to bring me a group of skilled workers and experienced operators......

"I should save myself from the old lame, and I won't hide my private ......"

Shen Yue nodded.

"The Lord gave me this opportunity to live a lifetime, I won't learn from the old things in the workshop, and take all the things to the grave in a secret......"

"If you think about it, as long as you have coal and water, you can open a big workshop anywhere......

He couldn't help but sigh.

"Old lame, I feel that I have to seize the day."

"Then you have to pay more attention to your own healthy diet, live a few more years, and let those people see it......

I teased.

"Why don't I find you a careful and thoughtful woman who will take care of the ......"

"I'm already like this old cripple, and there are still people who either ......"

It was rare that he did not yell at the excuse or refuse, but said with a sophisticated wrinkle and a little twisted

"Yes, of course there is, as long as you can create a generation, maybe you are willing to have children.

So at this moment, he seemed to fall into some kind of delusion of euphoria.

Well, I seem to have forgotten about this legendary magician-style technosaurus who has never married in my life

"By the way, this big guy is still a newborn child......"

After coming over for a while, Shen Yue came back to his senses, remembered something and hurriedly said.

"And the Lord Name ......"

"Then call it the first number machine ......"

In remembrance of the years I spent in the second of a giant humanoid creation.

I didn't stay at home for a few days after the parade, but I returned to life in the barracks to avoid the disturbances that followed.

The accidents and repercussions in the viewing ceremony have faded out of the topic of Cantonese citizens after dinner, but the changes brought about by this are still ongoing.

For example, because at the banquet of the imperial court, I used fire guns to coerce the object of bad words, and it seems that overnight, I got an ironic, so-called "convincing people with virtue" as a prefix for my private title.

You don't have to think about it, you also know that it is the group of unlucky ghosts who were punished by the imperial court, and the relevant people will only drum up something. They have been sent to foreign state officials for inappropriate remarks and instigation, which is equivalent to exile in disguise, but I was still teased by the mysterious creatures for several days for this.

On the other hand, there are also people who are full of some malice and begin to far-fetched rumors that I am the so-called "noble calamity", and that I am not in agreement with those traditional nobles in the congenital eight characters, and it is said that because I did not deal with me, or took the initiative to get involved with me, and fell in the conflict, or said that the unlucky lord of the noble country has exceeded half a dozen genus.

This is mostly related to the rumor that specially sent someone to walk me, but he was cheated by his pig-like subordinates, and was severely fined a large amount of family assets for the crime of not cultivating private discipline and falsely spreading slander, plus the Lingbi Marquis who was at home to reflect on it.

And the reason why he slandered me at the beginning was also very simple, his brother-in-law was the precursor who ran away from the rain halfway through the parade, and it was also one of the many scapegoats that were thrown out of the bottom in the rectification case called the military regulations, and his crime also involved accepting benefits from others, and delaying the military parade without authorization, so the punishment of the imperial court was cut off, and he really couldn't die anymore.

This Lingbi Marquis is heartbroken for this brother-in-law, since he does not dare to argue with the real decision-makers in the court, under the one-sided crying of the person next to him, he can't help but be angry with me, the person behind the cushion, he has some connections in the General Administration, and he also has enough wealth, so he encourages some community members with two academic backgrounds to use their identities that are not easy to be held accountable to come out and spread unfavorable remarks about me.

Originally, this kind of thing, because of the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, even if there is a correction from the parties, it is not without opportunities for a turnaround, such as the network of connections launched privately through guò, the matter is handled coldly, and the big things are slowly digested, and finally a scapegoat is run, and he only bears the charge of lax discipline under the door, and just raises it high and gently lets it go.

The problem is that this matter ended too suddenly, and I was directly put on a big hat, which was involved with Daxiangguo's instructions to the new army, so there was no shortage of good people trying to figure out what they wanted, and from it to the bottom of it, they explored the possibility of currying favor with the superiors.

According to the rules of the game in the Li world in the ecology of the Guangfu government, within the framework of unscrupulous means to crack down on dissidents, any unlucky ghost who fails to deal with the hand and tail and is caught in the current situation is not worthy of sympathy and pity, and there is not even a shortage of opponents who have fallen into the well.

So he had to give up most of his net worth, and in addition to paying the fines of the imperial court, he also had to make great efforts to calm down the dissent in the eyes of those bigwigs, and even buy off some kind of interest in exchange for me and the hidden forces behind him, and the promise not to pursue it further.

I got the ownership of a printing workshop, which is a large and small copying workshop in Biguang Province, and more professional things, not only have several sets of complete metal movable type in different layouts, but also have large water-powered printing equipment, and I only took over the printing workshop that is said to be in deficit at a cost of about 8.9 million yuan for a thousand yuan.

But the so-called breaking the muscles and bones and connecting the flesh, as a veteran nobleman in Guangfu, is always the reason and relationship for not sending a rabbit to death and a fox sadness, so down, my popularity and reputation among those nobles in Guangfu are not much better, but I don't expect too much in this regard.

Of course, more inside stories and things, whether it is still so simple, I don't know. This is also the first news business I got from the owner of the Shang Mansion, at the cost of the vague news about the comeback of the sea lord Feng Thirteen, who had some kind of interest collusion and tacit understanding with the powerful people among the sailors

In addition, for me, the biggest variable is that in addition to the rewards and gifts of the first class in the imperial court, it also allows the left wing to add a battalion of men and horses, and selects those who are good at the army to match. It can also be seen as a move by the imperial court to begin to pay attention to it and mix dissidents in disguise, so the battalion officers of the third battalion are selected by the court, and they are no longer recommended by me, but no one has arrived for the time being.

However, this did not affect my step-by-step follow-up planning and arrangement, since I had already had the confidence of the Northern Expedition, and carried out various corresponding anticipatory preparations, such as various adaptation and rehearsal measures for the situation outside the ridge and in the north. Conduct some kind of rehearsal of swimming and beach grabbing,

There are also cotton and cotton cloth that were specially raised for the cold weather in the Northland. , arrange the garment workshop to make suitable winter clothes. Medicines, alcohol, oils and other spicy substances for the prevention and treatment of frostbite.

With the allocation of some application resources in place, the people sent by Liu Yanqing to communicate and contact have also arrived.
