Chapter 41 Gunpowder and Mechanical Workshop

Wang Lin heard that Hu Lin couldn't look down on his two apprentices, and pointed to himself to go down the mountain, which made Wang Lin a little embarrassed, help Hu Lin, then everyone can see what to do gunpowder, is it to do big things, this big thing is to help the court or rebel, now it seems that the situation on the side of Pingshan has not yet been clear, after all, it is still in the small place of Mashan.

If you go to help, if Hu Lin chooses to rebel in the future and is defeated by the imperial court, it will inevitably implicate those who have something to do with Hu Lin, and then Wang Lin can only think about how to refuse this matter in order not to destroy Yulinguan.

"Poor road down the mountain? No one takes care of that temple, which is not good. ”

Wang Lin looked at Hu Lin with a playful look on his face, and refused with some weakness.

"Lord Wang Guan, since you have done the firecracker business, that is, you have intervened in the world, now my Pingshan Army needs gunpowder, and you have done this business in the area of Mashan County, and now I Hu Lin is here, do you say that you take care of Yulinguan, or let the apprentices take care of it?!"

Hu Lin saw that Wang Lin began to shirk it, knowing that it was difficult to ask for a formal invitation, so he made a soft threat, since you are doing business in the Mashan area, then you will have a relationship with Hu Lin, and now Hu Lin wants you to help, if you don't come, it will offend Hu Lin and the Pingshan Army, this is not a trivial matter.

"Ahh Wang Lin heard Hu Linsi's threat, and if he didn't go, it was likely to harm Yu Linguan.

"Second Taoist Wang Priest, you should know me Li Tie, my general came to invite you, he looks up to you, are you worried about your broken Taoist temple, don't worry, you are a vegetarian in my Pingshan Army."

Li Tie had a fierce face, this Li Tie, who was usually polite to Wang Lin, suddenly changed his face, which really scared Wang Lin a lot, and now he has to make a choice, it seems that he has to go if he doesn't want to go.

"Lord Wang Guan, let me tell you the truth, I have a good impression of your Taoism, Taoism is the native sect of our nation, if you are in my jurisdiction, you support the development of Taoism, do you still want to be bullied by those monks? If you do things with me well, where I go to Pingshan Army, you Taoists will be able to develop without restrictions, what do you think. ”

Taoism is the native religion of China, with "Tao" as the highest belief. In terms of the concept of ghost worship in ancient China, Taoism is based on the ideas of Huang and Lao Taoism, and inherits the derivation and formation of immortal magic since the Warring States period. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Taoist organizations appeared, including the Taiping Dao and the Wudou Rice Dao.

Patriarch Zhang Daoling officially founded the Order, which has a history of 1,800 years. Taoism is a polytheistic worship, and the gods and goddesses are personified by Taoism's belief in "Tao".

As a local sect, Hu Lin naturally wanted to support him, and Sun Ben was a good strategy as a condition for tempting Wang Lin.

"Is this true?"

Wang Lin still had a bitter face just now, Hu Lin just said the conditions, Wang Lin was excited, Hu Lin is not much power now, but there is still a chance for development, if Hu Lin can control more places, there is no official restriction, Taoism will usher in spring, how many years, the opportunity to be suppressed has come, although there are some risks, but this is also an opportunity for Taoism.

"Naturally, what I said Hu Lin is still false."

Hu Lin looked solemn, not joking at all, Hu Lin didn't know much, he only knew that this was the state religion, and it was right to support it, and the conditions were just incidental.

"Well, since General Hu said so, I, Wang Lin, will accompany General Hu for a while, and my alchemists are limited, only three disciples and more than a dozen Taoist children, and these people all go down the mountain with the general.

Wang Lin made a decision, since he wanted to do it, he would do it thoroughly, and when he thought that Yulin Temple would become a Taoist temple supported by Hu Lin in the future, he couldn't control the joy on his face.

Immediately, Hu Lin and Li Tie went to see Wang Lin's gunpowder workshop, just under a flat slope in the back mountain, more than 20 people were busy, Hu Lin looked at these simple workshops, and the carbon-burning kiln, and shook his head,

At this time, the process can only be like this, even if there are conditions, there is no technical upgrade.

Hu Lin didn't say much, called more than 20 people to go down the mountain together, Wang Lin was in his forties, only four disciples were accepted, only the youngest apprentice had not yet learned to practice Dan to make gunpowder, and he didn't know much about the raw materials of gold and stone, in fact, the world called saltpeter, sulfur and the like.

Leaving the youngest apprentice, Wang Lin took more than 20 people to follow Hu Lin down the mountain, when he came, he wanted to invite Wang Lin alone, but he didn't expect Wang Lin to be free and easy, and directly brought the people from the gunpowder workshop, Hu Lin's two off-road vehicles could not fit so many people, only Wang Lin and the three apprentices Kong Muqi, Zhang Yun, and Cao Yin were cared, and the others could only walk.

Back in Pingshan, Hu Lin asked Li Tie to vacate an independent warehouse on the edge of the camp as a gunpowder workshop, and those that needed to be renovated in the future were naturally handed over to Chen Rui's engineering team, and Wang Lin would be in charge of gunpowder in the future.

Hu Lin asked him to set up the gunpowder workshop first, and then send people from the school and other places to study, and then go outside to see if he could find some reliable people to come over.

The gunpowder workshop is temporarily settled, and the rest will be handed over to Li Tie to deal with, the gunpowder workshop is to pay attention to safety, and the other is to keep it secret, and after the gunpowder manufacturing is on the track, Hu Lin will go back to modern times to find some ** data, these are the formula data that there is no in this era.

Immediately Hu Lin went to the processing workshop to take a walk, this time the news that inadvertently leaked attracted the attention of the French, although it did not cause the spread of the news, but Hu Lin has a lot of things in the advanced world, if there is no strength, it will definitely not be able to protect them.

The Germans already knew that there were a lot of good things on Pingshan's side, and they had special business contacts for the time being, so they could refuse to exchange these things, but if someone on the German side had bad intentions, then Hulin would not have the strength to resist them for the time being, and at most they would destroy these things, which would be devastating to Pingshan's development, and the progress of weapons production would have to be accelerated.

The processing workshop, from the beginning of the commissioning of one, now there are three, dozens of milling, grinding, drilling, boring and other equipment, but unfortunately although these equipment is advanced, the operator is a big problem.

The increase in the workshop also thought that there was a group of relatively mature technicians appeared, and they could slowly bring new apprentices, although these relatively mature masters were not very good, so they could start to process accessories normally, as long as a little time, a process, these are Hulin's precious resources.

When purchasing equipment, there is a training video and related professional books, but the master who can do the workpiece is not so casual to look at it can come out, a master who can operate the equipment to meet the requirements of the workpiece, is to combine theory and practice for many years, and the various equipment in the workshop has been debugged for a lot of time.

But even Yang Zitong, Zhu Yao, Lu Jiabin, these people with a foundation, are only scrapped a lot of blanks to make a qualified workpiece, although these people in this era of foreigners learned good processing technology, but the problem is that these equipment is Hu Lin from the modern era, the control program is very different.

Not to mention these apprentices who have no culture, have only been able to read for a long time, and there is no formal master to teach, it is slow to learn, Hu Lin can only look at the sky with two eyes, let them watch and do it themselves, video books and these things are thrown away.

However, these workers are still not bad, auto parts can be made according to some out, although the scrap rate is outrageous, but there is a usable finished product, a progress.

Not long after arriving in the workshop, Yang Zitong and others came to report that nearly 100 of these apprentices were familiar with machine tools, and some accessories were slowly being produced, and imitation Mauser rifles were already being produced.

"Oh, why didn't you tell me if you've already copied it?" Hu Lin wondered why he didn't get a report since the processing workshop was already able to copy the Mauser 98.

"This, in fact, to imitate the machine tool can be imitated at the beginning, but so many people, if you can only make one or two finished products a day, tell the general, it is useless, and now there are only about 40 Mauser 98 that can detect qualified parts and assemble them." Yang Zitong looked at Hu Lin's face and continued to see that there was no change.

"Originally, I wanted to tell you when I could produce more than a dozen pieces a day, but it may take some time, and now after the equipment in the warehouse is assembled in the workshop, the apprentices in the first workshop have to disperse and bring new people, and the yield of these parts cannot be improved.

Yang Zitong finished speaking in one breath, a little breathless, there is such a good equipment here, but he can't be skilled in super control, and he has also suffered a small blow in his heart, and a few people who have learned from foreigners like himself are not bad at hand, but when they come to Hulin's workshop, I feel that these equipment are set and aligned everywhere, and the increase in accuracy is that these people can't be skillfully controlled as soon as possible, which makes Yang Zitong embarrassed.

"Oh, that's right, but this is also good news, go to Li Guangchou to ask for some silver, give everyone a bonus, the matter of the workshop, you have to speed up the progress, don't let go of the workers' courses in the school, without theoretical knowledge, you can't produce a good master, you yourself are an example."

Hu Lin knows from modern times that only with a solid basic knowledge of culture can things be done better, and the most expensive thing in any line is talent, who naturally has more comprehensive knowledge and skills.

These equipment belongs to modern low-level processing equipment, the required knowledge is not so high, generally there is a proper foundation to start to contact learning, if Hu Lin pulls some processing centers and other equipment, then don't think about anything, wait for these equipment to rust almost before someone will operate.

"Yes, we'll pay attention."

Yang Zitong and the others responded with joy on their faces, they came to Hu Lin, Hu Lin had never cared about money, and his living welfare had never been better.

And there is no distress about the scrapped materials, and I have never asked how many blanks have been scrapped, I only care about the initial learning from a few people, how can there be such a boss in this world, and now this boss is in front of him, which is also Yang Zitong and several people are almost familiar with these machine tools day and night, teaching to new apprentices.

There are many kinds of machine tools, and it is not something that can be mastered for a while, which is why there are only dozens of Mauser 98 finished products, in order to achieve the purpose of Hu Lin's request to train more people, it is normal to slow down the processing of some accessories.
