This is a glass blown by mouth, irregularly shaped, but more artistically valuable.

What Yang Xi wants, naturally, is not just blown out, he wants to industrialize and mass production.

So, Niu Han was called to the office. Niu Han was very excited, and he had something to do, and the task given to him by Childe was to make a single-hole steel model, which was difficult, but fortunately, Childe was a genius and taught himself a solution.

Yang Xi's method is actually simple, and later generations have done this, that is, to make two molds, one male mold and one female mold, the mother mold is the outer part of the cup, and the male mold is the inner part of the quilt.

Yang Xi was very happy, and explained all the measuring cups, test tubes, petri dishes and other utensils in the chemistry laboratory, and asked Niu Han to make steel molds one by one.

At this time, the steel mold is not so simple to make, first to make a clay model, and then a hundred into steel, I don't know how long to calcinate the molten iron, but also to add oxygen to the ancient wind to produce carbon, this thing is not so fast.

Yang Xi was thinking, this is estimated to take another ten days and eight days, but someone came to report, Chenhe Port carrier pigeon came back, saying that someone visited, the other party handed over the post, but it was the Xiangyang Pang family, the post was signed as the Pang family Pang Shanmin.

When Yang Xi heard the name of Pang Shanmin, he was shocked, Pang Shanmin is not famous, but his father is a big man who is famous in later generations, a hermit master, and he has to be cautious.

"The names of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks were called out by this person. Why did he call his son to come to me? Do you feel my domineering spirit? Hehe" Although Yang Xi was slandered in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly rode his horse and went straight to Chenhe Port.

Now is not the time to offend these scholars, after all, they have mastered public opinion, if they go around saying that Yang Xi is ten thieves in troubled times or something, I don't know how many fools will come to conquest themselves, and they will not be able to move an inch in the future, and it will also affect the image of Chenhe Factory.

Of course, if the Chenhe factory is big in the future, it will be a different matter.

When Yang Xi saw Pang Shanmin, Pang Shanmin had already seen Yang Xi coming over in the dust, and he suddenly had a good impression, coupled with his father's evaluation of Yang Xi before, Pang Shanmin hurriedly went forward and saluted: "Xiangyang Pang Shanmin, I have seen the son of Chenhe, I take the liberty of disturbing the son, I hope you don't want to see the strange!" As he spoke, he bowed down.

Yang Xi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed: "How dare you!" Brother Shanmin is not far away, from Xiangyang to Exian, it is really my Yang Xi's honor, and it makes my Chenhe Port shine, please come in! Come in! ”

Yang Xi expected that Pang Shanmin had been waiting here for a morning, and it was estimated that those who should have visited had also visited, and it was time to go into the house to sit and talk about their intentions.

Sure enough, Pang Shanmin didn't bring his entourage, so he followed Yang Xi into the specially prepared reception hall.

Yang Xi thought in his heart, sure enough, the scholar clan is different, it is really polite and thoughtful, Hu Zhuo is like this, and Pang Shanmin is also like this.

The two sat opposite each other at the table, with a wine bottle in between, but they began to test each other. Yang Xi tested Pang Shanmin's intentions, but Pang Shanmin tested Yang Xi's background.

Yang Xi finally knew that this Pang Degong was worthy of being a hermit, just by reading his two books, he knew that the book was powerful, and it was the accumulation of thousands of years in China. And Pang Shanmin judged by himself, this Yang Xi must have a master behind him.

But they are all fifteen years old, young people, drink a few more bottles, and they will have a temperament, and they will begin to be called a mountain brother and a brother Chenhe.

Yang Xi stayed with Pang Shanmin for a few more days, and had a long talk, not wanting this Pang Shanmin to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, so he said casually that he would bother for a few more days.

Yang Xi thought to himself, I'm just polite, there are still a lot of things to do, and there is devilish training every day, how inconvenient it is for you to follow.

Pang Shanmin didn't have this awareness, and threatened to learn the Book of Heaven from Yang Xi and become a student, which made Yang Xi a little speechless, but after thinking about it, if you can assimilate the children of the scholar clan like you, won't there be one more friend in the camp? At least one less enemy.

On the same day, Yang Xi arranged Pang Shanmin and his entourage of more than 50 people and ate hot pot.

On the second day, Pang Shanmin really came to find Yang Xi, but Yang Xi didn't care so much and continued his daily training as usual. As for the more than 50 people brought by Pang Shanmin, they were asked to go to the Chenhe Hotel to eat by themselves, but the expenses were charged.

Pang Shanmin didn't care, Yang Xi was training, he was watching, watching it from beginning to end, eating together in the middle, and Yang Xi had new training in the afternoon. For this kind of training, Pang Shanmin also expressed great interest, but Yang Xi saw that he was only sixty-four, and he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with his current self, although Yang Xi explained the skills in it, he was still a little unbearable.

The ancients paid attention to learning the six arts, and they had to be proficient in etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, so in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was said that scholars and literati were not high in martial arts, but that was a bit biased. The force of Zhuge Liang and other scholars and strategists, as long as it is not from the Hanmen, the force is definitely very high.

Just kidding, since childhood, you must be proficient in the six arts to be considered a talent. Among the six arts, archery and royalty, horseback archery, from elementary school, driving a carriage, from elementary school, more than ten years down, how can it be an ordinary person.

Even if he is a fool, he has been learning one thing for ten or twenty years, and he is a master among masters.

Yang Xi didn't plan to hide his secrets, including the basic culture class in the morning, and also took Pang Shanmin to watch, and even Pang Shanmin proposed to audit every day, Yang Xi was also very happy.

In this way, for ten days in a row, Pang Shanmin did not propose to leave, including the more than 50 entourages he brought, and they also ate, drank and had fun every day, and they didn't know how much money they consumed.

Yang Xi understood, this must be what Pang Degong meant, this is really to learn, it seems that Pang Degong is quite interested in his background and academics. Thinking of this, Yang Xi decided to go to Xiangyang and visit this hermit.

But when he visited, he couldn't go back with Pang Shanmin, but after Pang Shanmin left, he organized a caravan and personally led the team to travel. Although it is not right to describe the thief as not empty, after all, if you go far away, you have to expand your business by the way.

Pang Shanmin stayed here for fifteen days before preparing to return, and from beginning to end, he failed to enter Yang Xi's factory. He understands that trade secrets, the secrets of each family, must be guarded, which is the foundation of life.

More than 50 people, eight boats, started the return trip, nothing else was brought, the boats were full of wine, 42 degrees and 60 degrees, Yang Xi didn't know, this was ordered by Pang Degong himself.

However, Yang Xi didn't know that these boats of wine, Pang Shanmin was not heartbroken at all, and when he came here to purchase, it was only two taels of silver and a jar, if he bought it in Xiangyang, he would get ten taels, and he had not sold it yet.

Maybe he will make money from eating and drinking in this business.

At this time, Yang Xicai carefully observed Pang Shanmin's boat, and it turned out to be a small boat. The Pang family is in Xiangyang, next to the water, and it is impossible to travel without a big boat. Based on this, Yang Xi judged that this visit to Exian County was definitely not the family behavior of the Pang family, but the personal behavior of Pang Degong.

"The influence of Chenhe Port is still not enough, if you want to get into the eyes, you have to accelerate the development, in the eyes of the small family, we are already good, but if the big family wants to crush us, it is still very simple."

"It's time to start building big ships, too!"

"If Chenhe Port wants to build a big ship, it is not the kind of big ship that uses a stilt, it must cross two levels, across the sailboat, across the oar, paddle wheel, and directly use the propeller."

Needless to say, the sailboat uses the wind power, and the paddle wheel is a huge wheel like a water row, which is installed on both sides of the ship, and the paddle wheel is stepped on by manpower to control the speed of the ship, and people also need to direct the labor on both sides to change the direction. The propeller is different, installed at the bottom of the stern, directly through the conduction shaft, conduction manpower into mechanical energy to rotate, propelling the ship forward, and even the direction of the ship is realized by the conduction device to change the angle of the propeller.

This is something that will be 1,500 years from now, but it is not too difficult to achieve it now. As long as there is enough steel, it can be built slowly, but Yang Xi can afford to wait, half a year is enough.

Yang Xi entered the propeller in the science tree, and sure enough, many design drawings appeared, including a propeller ship with a mortise and tenon structure.

You don't need to use steel spikes, you don't need steel keels, you can make them from giant wood.

In half a year, in addition to building a ship with propellers, it is also necessary to build a military force capable of protecting this water hegemon.

Yang Xi knows that the husband is not guilty and is guilty.

This kind of water weapon is good in peaceful and prosperous times, but if it comes to the war years, it will be the object of robbery by others.

The first batch of ships does not need to be too big, Yang Xi plans to make three, according to the description of the design drawings, a sixty-meter-long big ship is enough. In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, the big ship of Wu was called the building ship, and the volume was already very terrifying, with a height of more than 20 meters and a five-story ship, but this kind of ship has not yet appeared. By that time, Yang Xi estimated that he didn't know what he had developed.

Propeller ships, it's not that they can't be bigger, the question is what's the use of making such a big ship now, and there is no need to install forks like this. Manpower and material resources can't keep up.

Thinking of this, Yang Xi called the second master, Master Lu and Yang Xiao to discuss their shipbuilding ideas. In the end, it was decided that the second master would lead the army and transfer 200 people to start shipbuilding.

Now the entire Chenhe Port and Chenhe Factory, adding up to 1,100 people, the glass industry is not in much demand at present, just can be transferred manpower, set up a shipyard.

The director of the shipyard is naturally the second master, Yang Xi explained the design drawings of the entire shipbuilding, and it took six hours, and the second master still knew nothing.

But it didn't matter, Yang Xi told him that he didn't need to understand why he was doing it, he just had to make something as he was asked, just like making a table at that time. As for the steel part, Yang Xi also explained all the parts of various specifications to Niu Han.

In the past two years, although Niu Han's name is Niu Han, he is not a person, and his learning progress is also fast, after all, what ancient people lacked was not IQ, but the environment and conditions.
