Hu Qingqing's warehouse, Hu Lin looked at the trucks with sweat, which were naturally loaded with equipment and appliances in the gunpowder factory, and some of them were stocked gunpowder and raw materials.
It can be seen that even when the boss of Yu Min ran away and was not there, the factory was still running normally, which was why the workers inside did not want the factory to collapse like this, so as to add a glimmer of hope to the future work in the factory.
No, their efforts have been rewarded, the workshop is well protected, almost when the production is stopped, but the maintenance is lacking, after all, these are money, Hu Lin is satisfied, they also got a month's salary reward, and the wages owed will naturally be accepted and the list will be sorted out and distributed together.
When Hu Lin saw the situation in the gunpowder factory given by Zhou Ding, he also sighed that Yu Min had such good workers, but it was not easy to operate, if it were not for Hu Lin's special needs, who would take over such a factory, and the closure was doomed, and it also hurt many single-skilled workers.
These trucks are naturally Dahua Trade, after all, they have to purchase a lot of materials, and there is no means of transportation, so it will naturally be very troublesome, and the driver of Dahua Trade drove these vehicles to the town warehouse, and Hu Lin sent them back to the company after Bao Zhonghua broke up.
Then Hu Lin began to get tired, drove to the village warehouse one by one, and then stopped in the warehouse of the Qing Dynasty through the cave, this back and forth really tired Hu Lin enough, in addition to the materials purchased by Dahua Company, there are some industrial silver prepared by Hu Fei.
Hu Lin stopped looking at the goods, closed the inner door of the warehouse, asked the guards to find someone, and drove the wagons to the edge of the barracks, temporarily in the warehouse of the gunpowder workshop, while he drove the trucks with silver bars for industrial use to the village.
The warehouses coming out of the cave are connected, and the positions in the row at the door are all warehouses with large compartments, so Hu Lin only needs to open the inner door and open it directly to other warehouses, as long as he locks the inner door and lets someone else take these goods away.
The truck drove to Li Guangchou's house, asked the guards of the silver vault to put the silver into the warehouse, and asked the guards, the safety of the treasury, but they were guaranteed one by one, even if the people were gone, the silver treasury would be kept, Hu Lin heard the cold sweat on his sideburns.
I just casually asked, how did I make it seem like I was going to put them on the execution ground, and when I learned that Li Guangchou was back, I didn't care about these guards anymore, and Li Guangchou rested at home for a while, and happened to meet Li Guangchou trimming the dwarf pine in the house.
"Uncle Li, it's already so sluggish, why do you have to prune it?"
Hu Lin walked directly into Li Guangchou's inner room and saw Li Guangchou selflessly cultivating the branches of the dwarf pine bonsai.
"You have also found that there is no light, no rain and dew, and the air is not circulated, so it is naturally a little sluggish, and I am pruning it to make it have a longer life."
Li Guangchou first shook his hand, then reacted, and explained lightly.
"And how much are you going to repair?" Hu Lin didn't come closer, and asked while standing at the door.
"It depends on its vitality!" Li Guangchou looked at the dwarf pine bonsai with some playfulness, and did not stop the scissors in his hand.
"Did you find that your hands hurt when you use too many scissors?" Hu Lin then asked.
"It's a little bit, but it's just a little pain, it's not in general, isn't it!" Li Guangchou turned his head and smiled at Hu Lin.
"Haha, yes, that's right, remember to put on your gloves quickly." Hu Lin understood what Li Guangchou meant, and laughed heartily.
"Haha, haha, command, General Hu!" Li Guangchou laughed louder, and then made a salute as if on a formal occasion.
If Cixi knew the situation on Pingshan's side, and heard the conversation between the two again, she would definitely slap the two people in front of her to death.
After chatting with Li Guangchou in the house for a while, he roughly learned about the situation around Xiapingshan and the gun and ammunition production equipment in Fangchenggang, and then told Li Guangchou that there was extra silver in the warehouse, so he didn't continue to talk deeply.
The road has not yet been connected, but some light parts have been shipped back, and the large parts will have to be returned in a few days, and the Navy Hulin doesn't have to care too much, the people of Hirayama have just come into contact with the cruiser now, and it is in vain to ask if they want to achieve results, and there is Frank sent by the German Navy to train these naval newcomers, so naturally there is no problem.
After leaving Li Guangchou's house, Hu Lin went to the school to take a look, what are you doing in the school? It must be to see a beautiful woman, but Zhao Xiaoya is not there, and the 20 chicks who transferred from the school are not there, which really disappointed Hu Lin, and he had no choice but to do things.
I called a janitor at the school to call Yang Zitong to come to the gunpowder workshop, that is, the gunpowder factory on the edge of the barracks, naturally to deal with the problem of equipment installation, and teach Yang Zitong to find someone to do this, anyway, Hu Lin doesn't know how many mechanical technicians there are now.
Drove to the gunpowder factory in the warehouse on the edge of the barracks, the guards here naturally knew Hu Lin, but they had to verify when entering these special areas, even if it was a process, Hu Lin put his magnetic card ID on the scanner at the door, and only went in after confirmation, there was almost no one to guard inside, and there were busy crowds everywhere.
Hu Lin looked at these dilapidated and primitive ** instruments, and really admired the people of this era, how do they look like a barn floor, and such and such wooden tools also account for a large part, Hu Lin shook his head.
I walked around the workshop and didn't see Wang Lin, the person responsible, and several apprentices didn't look at it, Hu Lin's head is big, why is he not looking for anyone now, is it a crime today?
"Bump"
"It's burning..."
"Water, get water..."
White smoke came out of the isolation room in the corner tower of the workshop, and after a while, the workshop was full of the smell of burning gunpowder, Hu Lin pinched his nose, and walked over, it must be the guy from Wang Erdao, who ran to alchemy again without doing anything, and finally found someone.
Hu Lin approached the isolation room and saw several figures pouring water on the table, fortunately, the water in the gunpowder workshop was well prepared, this was a special place, the fire was extinguished at once, and I saw that the room was full of water stains.
"I said, Wang Er Daoist, what are you doing here, taking your apprentices to refine the pill again?" Hu Lin didn't enter the house at the door, watching a few people busy cleaning up the house, and asked lightly.
"Huh? General Hu is here, haha, no, no, it's not alchemy, we're getting some ore that we stepped on, but I don't know why this rag suddenly caught fire, obviously didn't touch the candle on the table.
Wang Lin was startled when he saw that Hu Lin was actually coming, but he quickly reacted, as a Taoist priest and an old liar, he still had this concentration, and immediately explained.
"Why are you lighting candles, isn't there a lamp in the house?"
"It's for roasting ore, it's careless, but fortunately nothing happened, otherwise the poor road would be in trouble."
"Well, that's..."
"No, General, there's a problem, there was no smoke when the fire just now, ah, it's not right, it's white smoke..."
"No, you're going to reinvent ??? again."
Hulin was depressed, this smokeless gunpowder was discovered in 1845 when a Swiss chemist accidentally knocked over the test sample during an experiment, and then wiped the test material on the table with a cotton apron, and burned it when his wife took it to dry.
I didn't expect to do it again in 1900 after a few decades, but 7 years ago, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau of the Qing Dynasty was able to make smokeless gunpowder, but the people still can't, which is also the reason why there are no foreigners to give the formula.
