Chapter 207: The Battle of the Border Fortress
"Yes, be careful when you lose the valve for a while, don't hurt yourself."
Liu Huayun smiled and signaled that he could start.
Bumper bumper bumper ~~~~
Xie Yuan has a lot of strength, and with Liu Huayun's guidance, he can easily start this diesel engine with less than twenty horsepower.
"This~~, it's really turned up, it's great!"
Looking at the rapid rotation of the diesel engine and the crisp bang, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh, and the corners of Liu Huayun's mouth were filled with a smile that could not be hidden;
Because from this moment on, it is not far before Dafeng enters a new era of mechanization and electrification......
Over time, barrels of crude oil are subjected to electrolysis, distillation, superthermal cracking, ...... The various materials that Liu Huayun wanted were properly stacked in the warehouse, and after the quantity was enough, they were transported directly from the waterway.
Of course, if it weren't for the threat of Mongolia and the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, he would definitely have instructed more than 200 people including Ma Liang and Zhang Falin in Gezhuang Village to make insulated wires;
Aluminum, resin, wood flour, and dyes are then mobilized from elsewhere...... Asbestos, etc., directly produce aluminum wire of sufficient specifications, and load the finished wire to various places.
At present, the time is pressing, and I know that I will start to do it after returning to the capital.
On the fifth day of Liu Huayun's departure, more than a dozen board trucks set off from Gezhuang Village and headed for the Yellow River ferry dozens of miles away.
while the other was loaded with ethylene, propylene, kerosene....... and a small amount of gasoline and diesel, and the big ships, headed for the capital.
"Xianggong, you're back."
Because Zhao Lingxin, Liu Ruoxi, and Meng Yushi were pregnant, the convoy was not very fast, and it took Liu Huayun three or four days to enter the capital with Gao Cheng and dozens of craftsmen;
At the gate of the Horse Mansion, Lei Tingting, Liu Ruoping, Duan Yaoying, and his old father-in-law, Lei Tiejun, were all looking forward to them.
Sao smiled and walked towards the three girls, hugged them gently, and everyone entered the Horse Mansion.
After knowing that the princess, Liu Ruoxi, and Meng Yushi were also pregnant, the maids of the Horse Mansion became even busier.
"Father-in-law, there were no accidents on the way."
In the living room, Liu Huayun asked with a smile at Lei Tiejun.
"No, don't worry, son-in-law, five cows and two bulls are in the stable at the back, and one of them should be about to give birth......"
At the beginning, the six males, seven females and thirteen cows that were transported to Hangzhou, Liu Huayun asked Lu Feng to bring seven cows to the capital, and the two bulls were brought to Jinling by Liu Qingfu to feed and breed, and the others were left in Liufu for breeding and use in his own cake shop.
NVC lighting's workshop, because the candle formula was made public, Lei Tiejun had handed it over to the Liu family to manage, this time saying that he followed his son-in-law and daughter into the Horse Mansion to enjoy happiness;
But the old man, who has worked hard all his life, still can't be idle, and after seeing Lei Tingting, he took the initiative to manage and feed the horses and cows, which made Liu Huayun feel moved in his heart after understanding the situation.
The nine wives in the family want to be loved, but Her Majesty the Empress, who has not seen her for two months, must be also lonely, empty and cold;
Therefore, Liu Huayun told the old man to pay attention to his body, not to work too hard, and after arranging for Bai Tiantian and Chen Yuanyuan to stay, he went straight to the palace without stopping.
"Jin'er, I miss you to death."
In the imperial study, after seeing He Jin who was checking the folds, Liu Huayun couldn't help but kiss her on the face; Immediately, he took out a cloth bag from his bosom, opened it, and put a necklace studded with diamonds around her neck.
"Hey~~~, what kind of jewelry is this, so beautiful, Liu Lang, tell me quickly, where did this come from......"
The war in the northwest and northeast is not too much of a problem, and due to the brainwashing of newspapers and periodicals in China, the people have expectations for a better life in the future, and they are united as never before;
He Jin, who was in a good mood, was immediately attracted by the beautiful necklace on his chest and pulled him to inquire.
"Jin'er, it's like this......"
Liu Huayun would not hide it from her, so he carefully talked about the shipyard in the past two months, as well as the transactions with the Dutch.
He Jin listened to his story, nodded his head frequently, and even smiled happily when he learned that the oil had been extracted and that he would be able to use electric lights soon.
The two chatted for a long time, until the dinner time in the evening, Liu Huayun took it for granted and enjoyed the treatment of the emperor, and stayed in the palace to sleep by the way.
On the second day, when He Jin was dealing with official business in the early dynasty, he went to the Shenji Camp and began to instruct the craftsmen brought back from Gezhuang Village to build generators and various machinery......
Rub rub rub ~~~
Half a month later, in the center of the Shenji Battalion, a corner of the factory building built with reinforced concrete that took half a year, with the sparks splashing and cutting, the spiral barrels made of pure steel were quickly formed.
In the other room, the buttstock, grip, and receiver ......, as well as shells for the northwest and northeast battlefields, and guns and ammunition for the musket battalion, are also being built rapidly.
It is worth mentioning that the insulated aluminum wire connecting the motors of these machine tools is no longer wrapped cowhide, but a thick layer of white plastic.
In the center of this dozens of houses, Liu Huayun is guiding Zhang Falin, Ye Xunxi and other people who are most trustworthy to him one by one to prepare single-base gunpowder.
With the extensive use of electric machinery, it is possible to create imitation AKs and copper bullets packed into magazines, but the most important part, the single-base gunpowder formula that replaces black powder, must not leak out.
Although single-base gunpowder is only the standard configuration during World War II, it is not Liu Huayun's limit, and there are some substances that no one else can get except him, but after all, this kind of thing is too lethal, and it is still necessary to firmly grasp it in his own hands.
Of course, in this plant, not only are guns being built quickly, but also an insulated wire processing machine with a daily output of dozens of aluminum wires is also running non-stop.
Three days ago, Liu Huayun stopped the creation of ordinary muskets and bullets, after all, those muskets that cost 32 sets of manpower and material resources are no longer proportional to the new types of firearms.
Liu Huayun believed that he would not need too much, give him a force of about 1,000 people, and as long as there were enough magazines, he could beat the Dutch and flee and obediently hand over Ryukyu Island.
In fact, at this moment, there are less than 800 craftsmen in the factory building in the center of the Shenji Camp, which is the best carefully selected by Liu Huayun;
And not only did they have to divide the work to create different parts, but outside each room, there were musket battalion soldiers armed with muskets, supervising them at all times.
The Shenji Battalion originally had more than 9,000 people, but after He Jin ascended the throne, the teaching and guarding were all incorporated into the musket battalion, and more than 1,000 people built ships in Jinling, and there were more than 3,000 people left.
With Liu Huayun's character, how could he let these people idle, so some of them became construction workers who continued to build the outer buildings of the Shenji Camp, while others were building large power plants and pouring concrete power poles...... Wait;
As for their previous work of building repeaters and arrows, I am afraid that they will forever disappear from the stage of history in the future.
In addition, since the diesel engine has been successfully started, in order to facilitate the return to and from the south of the Yangtze River from the waterway, under the guidance of Ma Liang, a veteran master, more than 100 people have worked hard to build merchant ships along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
