Chapter 148: One Small Step, One Big Step
Li Deyi was always frightened by the murderous appearance of his senior brother, he had never seen this appearance of his senior brother in Weibei Camp for so many years. In Li Deyi's heart, www.biquge.info senior brother is the pillar of the entire Weibei camp, no matter what great difficulties he encounters, he never panics and can always deal with it calmly.
Doctor Xiao Liu didn't seem to realize that he was murderous at this moment, and when he saw that his junior brother was stunned and didn't answer, he urged impatiently: "I'll ask you!" ”
Awakened by his senior brother's words, Li De swallowed his saliva and replied worriedly: "In addition to myself, the three blacksmith masters have read this note." What's wrong, brother? Is there something wrong? After listening to his junior brother's words, Medical Officer Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and the rising murderous aura in his body disappeared in an instant, and he said in a calm tone: "It's nothing, it's that you did too well with this note." Even your senior brother and I, a layman, have a preliminary understanding of how to forge steel after reading a few pages of your notes, which is amazing. ”
Li Deyi said in disbelief: "Senior brother, it's not enough." There are not many books on blacksmithing, but there are definitely a lot. This note I've put together isn't nothing. ”
Medical Officer Xiao Liu touched his bare chin that still had no beard, pondered for a while, and then said, "I have skimmed a few books on forging, senior brother. Those books are completely different from your notes. Those books and books, when a layman reads them, will only be confused, and he will not be allowed to enter the door at all. Those books could only be read by an experienced blacksmith. This is not the case with your note, which lists the entire forging process, each step, in detail. And the skills required for each step are described in numbers that can be understood at a glance. For example, in the section on ore processing, after the iron ore is crushed, it should be formed into a block of the same size in granules, and you not only use the standard scale to describe the size of the ore block in detail, but also describe the size of the hammer required for crushing, the number of crushing and so on. Those who have read this section, even a layman who has never learned to forge steel, can crush the ore as you say, and it will be possible to powder the ore into neat chunks of grain size like a skilled metro craftsman, but with a little more effort. ”
Hearing the senior brother praise himself for this note, Li Deyi was still a little embarrassed, his little face turned red, and he smiled: "Hehe, even the senior brother said so, it seems that my work has not been in vain in the past few months, this standard textbook for steel forging and smelting is finally barely compiled!" ”
Doctor Xiao Liu nodded, sincerely happy for his junior brother, and then said: "Another example is the section on frying steel, you have described in detail how many circles you have to stir in a quarter of an hour to meet the standard, and you have also written down how many times you need to stir in total, as well as how long the wooden stick needs to go deep into the molten iron, and how long it will take to stir it together. And so on, and so on, all in detailed figures. As far as I know, this steel frying technique would never have been practiced without decades of personal training and careful guidance from the master. This skill has always been passed down by word of mouth among blacksmiths. But after reading your notes, my brother thinks that I, a layman, have understood some of the essentials of frying steel. Brother, do you know what this means? ”
Li Deyi was able to answer this, because he knew that such a picture had appeared in the sea, and opened his mouth and said: "Senior brother, as long as we have this book, over time, our Weibei Camp will be able to train a large number of blacksmiths." When we find enough iron ore, we will be able to continuously produce weapons and armor. Even one day, it would not be a problem to achieve the daily output described in the book, as described in the Ping Zhou Dynasty, during the founding period of Taizu. ”
Xiao Liu said with emotion: "The book "The Romance of Taizu Dingchao" has been circulated in the world to this day, not to mention more than 400 years, and the world has always regarded this book as a novel in their spare time. But no one has ever thought of realizing the things described in the book, and occasionally some people mention it, but it is regarded as a joke, and they are all slapping their hands and laughing. Today, I read this notebook of junior brother, and I think that someone has finally taken the first step on this unattainable road, and I feel that the manufacturing of weapons and armor in the Taizu period is probably true. Let's go, follow me to see Master, such an important and good thing must make his old man happy. ”
After reading only two pages of the notes written by his little apprentice, the old medical officer Sun suddenly put the notes down, stood up, and moved his body as fast as thunder, first went to close the door of the house, and gave a military order to the soldiers on duty outside the door, telling them to immediately impose martial law within a range of four and five feet, and no one was allowed to pass by, and everything had to wait outside first.
After arranging these things, Old Medical Officer Sun turned around, stared at the little apprentice, and asked with a stern expression, "Have you still shown this note to others?" Li Deyi shook his head: "Except for the blacksmith, I and my senior brother have seen it, and now there is also you, Master, and no one else has seen it." I haven't shown them the Steel School students yet. ”
Hearing this, Old Medical Officer Sun stretched out his hand to touch his gray beard and said, "The teacher has already read this book, but it is rare to see it. In the past 100 years, many books on forging have also come out, and he has also dabbled in it. But most of those books were written by dignitaries and court officials. They are accustomed to being high on weekdays, and have always looked down on those lowly and vulgar craftsmen, where will they stay with the blacksmith every day like you, and ask for these details and data in detail. So when they wrote the book, they only wrote down the process of forging in a rough way, but they never recorded it in such detail as you do. As long as a literate person reads this notebook and practices honestly according to what is written in it, it will not take half a year to become a blacksmith. The teacher asks you, how do you plan to use this notebook in the future? ”
Li Deyi scratched his head and said, "I originally planned to send it as a standard textbook for the academy, and try my best to make sure that each of those students has one copy." As soon as these words came out, Doctor Xiao Liu and Doctor Sun said at the same time: "No! ”
Li Deyi didn't know why the master and the senior brother were so strongly opposed, and he was stunned for a while, so he had to sit there and wait for the master to give an explanation. To be honest, Li Deyi came to Weibei Camp by himself, and it was really smooth sailing. Master and Brother have always loved him, and his requests have almost never been refuted. Master and brother are occasionally strict with themselves, but they are just afraid that they will suffer losses due to their youth and poor ability. Later, his own skills grew, and the master was even more relieved to let himself be alone, and the senior brother also spared no effort to help. After so many years of following the wind road, Li Deyi never thought that his opinion would be opposed by his master and brother. Li De immediately realized that this matter must be extraordinary, otherwise the master and brother would not react so strongly.
Old Doctor Sun pondered for a moment and said, "This notebook is extremely valuable, as long as we have this book, our Weibei Camp only needs to spend one-twelfth of the original work to train a large number of blacksmiths." In the future, with so many blacksmiths, the efficiency of our Weibei Battalion's production of knives, guns and armor will be greatly improved, which is a top priority. In this way, for the sake of the teacher, you have divided the entire forging process into several subjects in this book, so we might as well send this note to those students according to the divided subjects. Students in each subject are only allowed to view the notes of this lesson and are not allowed to read the notes of other subjects. In addition, the vigilance of your Dingbei Iron and Steel Academy must also be raised to the highest level of vigilance when you go back, and you will come according to the wartime camp guard, and you will continue to patrol for twelve hours day and night. First of all, twenty of the most loyal veterans of our Weibei battalion were selected to carry out this matter in rotation, with five people in one post, divided into four posts, alternating day and night. For the division, loyal veterans were selected again, and more people were gradually sent to inspect. ”
Medical Officer Xiao Liu nodded: "I'll arrange this matter immediately, Master is right, with this notebook coming out, your academy must be mentioned to the highest level of alert." Since the students in the school are studying full-time, from now on, if there is no military order, they are not allowed to go out at will. They had already signed the deed when they entered the school, and it was easy to do. ”
Old Medical Officer Sun continued: "Well, the future management of the Dingbei Iron and Steel Academy must be strict, and it must be managed in accordance with the military discipline of the Weibei Battalion during the war, and it must not be taken lightly. ”
Li Deyi also agreed with the master's idea and said, "This is easy to do, after I go back, I will carry out militarized management in the school." Master, you said before that you wouldn't let me send a copy of this note to every student, but my original plan was to use this note as a standard textbook for the Steel Academy in the future. Since Master doesn't agree to this, then I'll come up with a new way. Master, let's engrave the contents of this note on several large wooden boards, and engrave them according to the lesson. Each subject is carved out of a wooden board and hung in the classroom where the subject is usually taught. In this way, every student can read the content of this note during class, and as long as we strictly prohibit them from copying, the content of this note will not be easily leaked. ”
Old Medical Officer Sun pondered for a while and said, "Your notes are to be taught to those students, so it is difficult to keep them completely confidential. If it is engraved on a large wooden board that is not easy to move, it can indeed be done so that all students can learn according to the notes, and the contents of the notes can not be easily taken away like books and paper. Although this method is clumsy, it is a good compromise and feasible. ”
Li Deyi said according to Master's words: "Master, although this method is good, there are problems. I don't know how to engrave, I'm afraid it will take a long time to practice before I can make a plank. And for the sake of secrecy, I can't ask other carpenters to help me carve this matter, so I can only do it myself. Old Medical Officer Sun laughed: "This is not in the way, the teacher will carve these wooden planks by himself." In the future, when your school is completed, you will use the wooden planks carved for the teacher to teach, and it will be an honor to be a teacher at that time! Hahaha...... "Old Doctor Sun laughed heartily.
"Master, do you still engrave that? I didn't even know Master, you would do this! The matter is solved, and Li Deyi is also in the mood to make fun of his words.
Doctor Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Our master has a lot of skills, haven't you seen the stamps on some of the books in Master's collection here?" It was all carved by the master himself. Okay, you leave this note with Master first, and let Master carve out the board slowly according to it. You and I should go and arrange for the veterans to stand guard first. ”
In the next half a day, Li Deyi followed his senior brother to personally visit the twenty veterans, and informed them one by one of the new tasks arranged for them by the Weibei Battalion. Although these veterans are now retired from the army and are at home, as soon as they saw the two little medical officers come to the door in person, they knew that the matter was not trivial, and immediately invited the two to the house to talk alone. After inviting these 20 veterans, Li Deyi rushed back to the school and made a large room for these 20 veterans alone, so that they could rest when they were on duty.
Li Deyi was in a hurry this day, even though he had entered the state of strength and his body was extremely strong, he also felt quite unbearable. It's really because of too much stimulation at the end of this day, mostly due to mental fatigue.
However, Li Deyi, who was tired and crooked on the bed at the moment, didn't know what kind of turbulent waves his standard textbook would set off. Because of the birth of this standard textbook of Gangtie Academy, the promise he made to his third grandfather Li Youshui finally took the first step, a big step.
At this moment, the thriving and sweeping the world, the indispensable Tuliao people could not imagine that in a corner in the northwest of the Pingzhou world, there was already a little tiny fire sprinkled down. One day in the future, this small fire will set off a monstrous flame, burning the entire Tuliao and shaking the whole world.
