Chapter XXVIII Machine Tool Factories and Arsenals
After the fifteenth day of the first month of 1876, the machine tool factory and the arsenal in the Yuanhe Industrial Zone were established, and the first batch of students of the technical school entered the machine tool factory and the arsenal respectively after one semester of intensive training.

A total of 120 machine tools of all kinds in the machine tool factory and arsenal are all manufactured by the manufacturing center in Yan Xueyi's personal space, but in order to manufacture these machine tools, the manufacturing center has been working for a long time.
Now, 120 machine tools of all kinds have been manufactured, and with them, machine tools can be used to make machine tools, and machine tools can also be used to make other mechanical equipment.
However, there is a very serious problem, there is no skilled hand to control the machine tool, just those who have just trained for a semester of novices, I am afraid that it is very difficult to control these machine tools, not to mention the manufacture of machine tools, that is, to manufacture ordinary mechanical equipment are laborious.
If these novices are not allowed to touch the machine tool, the novice will always be a novice, and the machine tool factory will be established in vain.
Therefore, Yan Xueyi didn't care about those, and directly let the novices who had trained for a semester personally control the machine tools, and only by controlling the machine tools for a long time would the novices become mature hands.
Of course, these novices have also been exposed to and even controlled machine tools in vocational and technical schools, and there are robot teachers who teach them by hand, and the students' foundation is still good, but they really want to control the machine tools themselves is not qualified, at most they are an apprentice.
However, what Yan Xueyi lacks is qualified technicians, and now he can only take this batch of apprentices on top, only by operating for a long time can they become real technicians from apprentices, but this may damage the machine tool, and the machine tool factory will not have any output for a period of time, Yan Xueyi can only wait.
Yan Xueyi has a total of fifteen robots in his hands, and the escort team no longer needs robots as instructors, and the escort team itself can already train newcomers well.
Of the fifteen robots, Yan Xueyi will put five in the vocational and technical school, one in the construction team, two in the steel factory, two in the arsenal, and the remaining five in the machine tool factory.
Five robots to a group of apprentices as masters, this can also allow the apprentices to grow up quickly, under the leadership of the robot master, can also be manufactured in small quantities of some mechanical equipment, only let the apprentices do these alone, then don't think about it, it is a complete waste of materials, and it may even damage the machine tool.
Five months have passed since the Chinese New Year, the robot masters teach seriously, and the apprentices learn seriously (the technical level is linked to money, can you learn not seriously), these apprentices can barely use the robot master to watch the machine tool alone, although the pass rate of manufacturing various equipment is still not high, but at least it will not damage the machine tool.
The pass rate of manufacturing equipment is not high, it is not high, how is it better than completely unqualified, as long as the equipment can be manufactured, Yan Xueyi allows waste, if waste can make all these apprentices out of the school, Yan Xueyi would like to let them waste like this.
Too complex parts can not be made, simple parts can be done, then the simple parts are made first, practice makes perfect, maybe in a few months, the apprentices can manufacture those complex parts, at that time, the machine tool factory can manufacture a large number of mechanical equipment, that time is the time for the rapid development of Yuanhe Industrial Zone.
The arsenal and the machine tool factory are almost the same, they all graduated from the same batch of students, and if the arsenal wants to make a rifle, it is better to wait, advanced rifles are not so simple to manufacture.
But wasn't the arsenal built to make weapons? Rifles can't be made now, and simple grenades can't be made?
Yan Xueyi gave the arsenal an order to manufacture grenades, and the sample drawings were the M24 handle grenades used by the German Army from the end of World War I to the end of World War II.
M24 handle-type grenade
Weight: 0.61kg
Warhead weight: 0.17kg
Full length: 365mm
Diameter: 70mm
Charge Type: (TNT)
Detonation mode: 5 seconds
Warhead weight: 0.17 kg
I want the Eighth Route Army to be able to make a wooden-handled grenade under such a difficult situation, even if the so-called grenade is less powerful, but it is also a grenade, isn't Yan Xueyi's current conditions much better than that of the Eighth Route Army? Then it is even more important to make grenades.
Gunpowder and explosives are very simple, a fertilizer plant was built before, and now it is easy to build a gunpowder factory, and you can use those ordinary workers, but you must be very careful when making gunpowder and explosives, and if you are not careful, you can blow up the entire gunpowder factory, and there will be huge human damage.
In this way, Yan Xueyi's arsenal officially started, and the apprentices under the guidance of the masters of the two robots, in less than a week, they made grenades similar to those described in the drawings, and there are still some differences, such as the power is a little smaller, and the fuse burning time is unstable, which needs to be further improved, but the production of grenades is good news, at least the escort team needs one more weapon.
Next, the grenade will be improved and finalized, and it can enter production after the finalization is completed, with the current arsenal of less than 300 people is far from enough, at least the number of workers in the arsenal must be expanded to more than 1,000 people (the production of grenades does not need so many people), and the daily output of grenades must reach at least 100, which is what Yan Xueyi wants.
Of course, what Yan Xueyi wants most is a rifle, only when the escort team is equipped with advanced rifles can it have the ability to resist the Manchu Dynasty, and the grenade can only be regarded as a close-range support weapon, and it is useless at a long distance.
However, the rifle that Yan Xueyi needs cannot be manufactured in a short period of time, and the rifle belongs to precision machining, so that the rifle has a high degree of accuracy, and the students who have just graduated from vocational and technical schools cannot do precision machining at all, and there will be a lot of error in processing some parts.
Helplessly, the machine tool apprentices in the machine tool factory and the arsenal still have to continue to master their own technology, I am afraid that if they really want to use them, they will have to wait until 77 years, and a year will almost allow the apprentices to grow up.
From the machine tool factory and the arsenal, you can see how important the mechanics are, but unfortunately there are not many technicians in the Manchu Dynasty now, and Yan Xueyi has no place to dig people.
It takes too long to train a mechanic, and if you can get a quick technician, maybe a million-strong Yuanhe industrial zone will soon appear.
In addition, I want to talk about Yan Xueyi's cheap brother-in-law Chang Botao, Chang Botao actually handled things in an orderly manner after entering the Yuanhe Industrial Zone as a small steward, which impressed Yan Xueyi, Chang Botao has no military talent, but his management ability is quite high, Yan Xueyi is ready to train Chang Botao, and he will at least be in charge of the government in the future.
