Wu Yi stroked the big thing in front of him, the cannon core full of craftsmanship, bright and smooth edges and corners, although it was only less than two meters, but it was also very shocking, and the blacksmiths were proud to touch it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Well! Amazing! Guo Yilu, whose eyes were swollen into peaches, also said with emotion, during this time, he forgot to sleep and eat in order to make steel, even Wuyi told him, he couldn't control him, but he failed several times, this time when he saw the real thing, he was resurrected with full blood on the spot.

This time, Wu Yi couldn't help a little, because the things he talked about were completely based on experience, pig iron and iron slag and his unique secret recipe, put together, I don't know how much, the most difficult thing is how many impurities should be left before forging.

Without that impurity, it is not steel, it can only be regarded as good wrought iron, so in Wuyi's view, this is the same as gambling, if you touch it right, you will make money, and his mechanization actually relies on such a foundation...... It's enough to hurt when you think about it, and the most pitty is more than 20 pounds.

"There are no three-thirds, don't dare to go to Liangshan! Get moving! Li Da Hammer shouted angrily, the gun core is good, it is time to build the cannon barrel, the large iron ingot is burned red, more than a dozen blacksmiths are forged separately, Li Da Hammer is responsible for the final welding, they have already designed the data, but now there is no way to form at one time, it needs to be forged out in sections, welded again and again, so as to ensure the quality.

Even if this is not for their own use, but to accumulate experience in forging their own cannons, they have to do the best of this cannon.

This time, the general's cannon was not the largest, only more than eight feet, that is, more than two meters long, but Wuyi gave them a more difficult request, that is, to make a lighter barrel than this in the future, and at the same time longer.

Wu Yi doesn't know how to cast a cannon, but he understands artillery, today's eighteen-pound cannon still belongs to howitzers, there is no flowering shell, the effect of howitzers will be greatly reduced, for large targets can be, small targets are intimidation, what he wants is a howitzer cannon between howitzers and cannons, that is, artillery that can shoot directly at close range.

Howitzer accurate shooting can only be done by relying on electronic aiming, and here is the most primitive gun gauge, so the point is far less lethal than the line, as an important weapon against cavalry, he can not be sloppy.

His requirements are high, but he can reduce the caliber, and he does not plan to use this kind of grenade cannon for siege, so he is naturally not afraid of insufficient power.

"By the way, Lao Zhao, how is the paper mill contacting?" Wu Yi also remembered this matter, because now the addition of gunpowder is based on the feeling of the hand, he thought of the custom, so that there is no need to worry about accidents in a hurry, if it weren't for his stipulation that training can only be half a medicine, I am afraid that now there are a few left, and the cruel training of this period of time has been wasted more than a dozen.

Lao Zhao frowned, and said angrily: "It's not easy to do, it's the family property of Sun Qicai, the chief bookkeeper, I originally wanted to dig people, but I didn't dare to come, I think it's better to talk to the eunuch and let him come forward, so that I can be sure." ”

Wu Yi nodded, the current factories are very feudal, the factory owners are either rich or expensive, he can't be in a hurry, Xia Daxuan's side Wuyi also tried to participate as little as possible, that is a bad one, so he nailed himself to the pillar of shame, although he uses a lot of paper, but it is not rice paper, as long as it costs money, it can be done, so don't make extraneous branches.

"It is estimated that the medicine gourd is almost done, and the kettle also has to be made of copper, and the copper here is still insufficient." Wu Yi couldn't help complaining, the copper in his hand was still ready to cast the cannon, but the bamboo kettle is easy to break, and it is not so convenient to carry, he let people build copper, and the medicine gourd is the key, although the main body is replaced by cowhide, but to use copper to build the spout, now the consumption is not visible, but the number is a big number.

He is just sitting on the mountain now, even if he can pass next year, but it is not a way after all, he has to think of a good way to make money.

Another self-help meeting will be held here in the Iron Institute, this time the purpose is to let everyone open their minds, agree on stable and more promising commercial products, Li Zheng Yuhai is inconvenient, in fact, this time you can not come, but the old man is resolutely opposed, so he followed, Wuyi is also quite sorry, not because the Iron Institute is inseparable from people.

"The interests of the grassland merchants are not in money, and everyone has also seen that the horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, if we want to live a good life, business is indispensable, and everyone will talk about their thoughts below." Wu Yi said it briefly, and let everyone discuss it.

Wang Mian is the most active this time, after making the machine tool, his horizons are broader, and he has long thought about it, "Our peasant association plans to produce ploughs after the year, as well as columbian cars, and is currently subdividing the workmanship of cocoon cars, but this can't make a lot of money, if I want to say that next year's grain will definitely not be able to eat ......"

"Food is definitely not good, you have to keep as much as you want." Wu Yi denied it, this is the fundamental, no one dares to guarantee it these years, in case of a bad harvest, he doesn't want to starve again.

Wang Mian sat down, he could think of so much, and they had to do the waterwheel machine tool next year, and they didn't have much effort.

Hua Yu'er, who was specially dressed up for show, tugged on the sleeve of Wu Xiaoniang, who was still dressed in coarse cloth, and asked her to speak, but where did Wu Xiaoniang dare, she regretted this outrageous thing now, how could she be moved by Hua's words.

Wu Yi saw at a glance that if she didn't take the initiative, she would be named.

"Ahh I...... I ......" Wu Xiaoniang's face was so red that she was about to drip blood, she couldn't speak, and she was even less confident when she was watched by everyone.

Hua Yuer can only come by herself, "We will set up a garment chamber of commerce, specializing in making ready-to-wear, with the machine that Da Lang said last time, the workmanship is good and fast, someone must buy it, do you think it's okay?" This Hua Yu'er is also lacking in confidence, and her voice is getting smaller and smaller halfway through speaking.

Wu Yi remembered that what he said was to press the sewing machine by hand, sew clothes, especially cotton clothes, women's hands will inevitably break, Wu Yi simply got one, similar to a stapler, and also need to use hand crochet to connect the single thread, which also makes the manual change very large, this is feasible, but it is not what Wu Yi wants.

"This is okay, women's clothing is preferred, and it is better to have more tricks."

Li Dazhui suddenly remembered, and then said: "By the way, our bearings can be sold, and those used for special cars must be easy to sell." ”

"This thing is not perfect, and it is easy to make, if we want to sell it, we have to produce it in large quantities, otherwise we will be robbed by others." Wu Yi denied it, he didn't want to make wedding dresses for others.

Guo Yilu has nothing to do, he is now being troubled by steelmaking.

Or Wuyi put it forward, the iron pot process can be improved, and it will inevitably develop to this next year, and there are knives and crafts, and after seeing the craftsmanship on the flintlock pistol, Wuyi is more certain.

The meeting was over, there was not much progress, after determining a few commodities, let everyone disperse, Wu Yunniang gave Wuyi a vicious look, and now turned around and pulled Hua Shi away.

Wu Yi was speechless, and this statement also offended people......

The blacksmith outside is still lively, the gun core is heavy, it is difficult to fire every time, and the excess part is removed from the finished product at one time, and the real usability is only about forty centimeters, and it is necessary to build five sections, and the most test is Lao Li's welding.

It's still too troublesome, but Wuyi has no solution, but Li Dazhui's craftsmanship still amazes him, and without a welding machine, he can achieve good results.

Moreover, the blacksmiths are even more active, and now there is a simple machine here, which can rotate stably, and the welding of Li Da Hammer is also very useful.

"The last paragraph, tomorrow will be about the same, if it goes well, you will be able to cast a cannon before the year." Guo Yilu said for Li Dazhui, they have been very smooth this time, the first cannon can be released around the New Year, it is difficult to start, and this second one will not be too late.

was reminded by him like this, Wu Yi remembered that it was really going to be the New Year, and it would be the New Year in a few days, and his heart was empty, because if he hadn't had an accident, he would have celebrated the New Year at home this year, but he was quickly relieved, because there were not a few people here, and now there were more than 600 people around him.

"Lao Zhao! Lao Zhao! Don't hide in the house, get out. Wu Yi deliberately shouted outside in a loud voice, and Lao Zhao shrank his neck and walked out with his cuffs inserted.

"Virtue! Hurry up and do the New Year's goods, by the way, I heard that the Yellow River crucian carp is good, go get some, and bring back the frozen beef to each family, go to other places to see, don't care about everything to buy some, take silver from me, let everyone have a happy New Year. Wu Yi pinched his waist and shouted, there were many people around, Wang Mian didn't leave in the shed, they all calmed down at the moment, I didn't expect Wu Yi to pay for the New Year's goods out of his own pocket, so that everyone could celebrate the New Year, many people were in tears, benevolence, Wu Dalang.

was shouted out by Wu Dalang in a voice, the past year was not easy, and there is hope this year.

That's not all, Wu Yi simply shouted at Guo Yilu and them: "Everyone be quick, finish it early, let's all go to Shangshui Village for the New Year, but it can't be bad, have you heard it?" ”

This time, the blacksmiths were overjoyed, how many of their wives and children and old people were in Sheung Shui Village, they had to work hard to repay Wu Dalang, but they didn't expect them to be reunited this time.

"I can't help it, this iron can't do without people." Guo Yilu also hurriedly said, not to mention anything else here, there are so many copper ingots.

Of course, Wuyi has an arrangement.

In the evening, I specially called the first, fourth and fifth teams to have dinner together.

"Fellow comrades, Wu will first give you an early greeting, and today I will add food to everyone, and at the same time bring a news, the big competition will be set after the year, and the specific time will be determined according to the situation." Wu Yi was the first to say the good news, and he originally wanted to advance it, but the weather was too cold, and he would fall ill a few times.

Immediately, the young men of the People's Army cheered, but Wuyi would soon give them bad news, that is, they could not go home for the New Year.

"You have to remember your duty, you have to keep one side safe, so you have to pay even more this year, you pay, so that everyone in the village can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, so four teams!"

The team stood up at night, they all looked at Wuyi, and they didn't know what task they gave themselves.

"The fourth team has to work hard, patrolling Jiuniukou, Sheung Shui Village and Tiesuo to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Wu Yi handed over the burden to them, and he didn't want any accidents to happen this year.

As a bonus, all eleven of them were equipped with the latest flintlock pistols in advance.

Although there was some disappointment, they were all young men, and they had long been greedy for Wuyi's spear, and they immediately became excited, and the other two teams were not convinced, but this time they did not fight, this was the hard work of the four teams.
