Chapter 111: The Mystery
"Good, good! Hurry up and do it, what you need, just say, all the personnel and materials here today are at your disposal today! Zhu Bayi nodded again and again, and his nose was faintly sour because he was too excited.
There are mechanisms made of brass springs, and there are fire ropes made of moxa. Although the trigger and hook parts are temporarily hung on the side, they are not placed inside the barrel and on the bottom of the barrel like later rifles. But on the whole, what could really be called a musket was finally shaped before my eyes. And on this day, more than nine months have passed since the moment when the first two souls merged, and there have been countless twists and turns in the middle.
However, Jiao Yu's next action made him a little numb in his eyes. I saw that this man skillfully picked up a piece of wrought iron about three or four millimeters thick with iron tongs, first put it on the charcoal stove and burned it red, and then rolled it on a pre-made iron rod. Immediately afterwards, he commanded two apprentices with sledgehammers with a small hammer, and "clanged" on the iron sheet like music, and it only took half a column of incense to knock out the prototype of another iron pipe.
Then comes the process of hot melt brazing with bronze strips, which is also as skillful as flowing water. Then, the process of the front and back of the inner and outer barrels took a little effort, and the thickness of the inner tube had to be adjusted with a file in the middle. After the two tubes are nested and reheated, the rest of the forging work can be handed over to a small water hammer with a strength of 100 catties, and it will take about a stick of incense to complete the whole process.
The next step is to re-polish the chamber. In the past, when craftsmen used the drill pipe method to make firebolts, they had the most headache about this matter. Even with the help of a hydraulic drill floor, the scrap rate has remained high. And the newcomer Master Jiao Yu is obviously not optimistic about the use of rhinestones. I saw that he first found a long wooden stool and placed the half-finished barrel on the left half of the stool. Then a cold-forged stainless steel drill bit was placed on the right half of the stool. Take the wooden blocks and bamboo strips and adjust them repeatedly. Visual observation of the barrel and drill bit remains essentially coaxial. Immediately, an iron wheel with a crank handle was attached to the second half of the drill bit, and when he shook it vigorously, the drill bit "buzzed" into the barrel.
"You, you've made a firebolt before?!" Zhu Eighty-one's eyes widened bigger than a cowbell, took a few steps back, and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Nope!" Jiao Yu's entire energy was focused on controlling the drill bit process, turning the handwheel vigorously and responding without raising his head.
"So, how can you use this thing?!" Zhu Eighty-one couldn't believe it, forcibly suppressed all the tastes in his heart, and asked in a trembling voice.
Horizontal drilling machine, belt drive. Although both are only small improvements, no one in the entire city of Xuzhou can think of it. Including him, Zhu Bayi, who fused the soul of later generations, and Ivanov, who had footprints throughout the east and west, did not expect these two simple techniques.
This is no longer a breakthrough, but a leap. The span of the leap is no less than the original black powder to the standard formula gunpowder brought by Zhu Eighty-one! And the Jiao Yu in front of him looks like a fake "native" at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. From his speech and demeanor to his appearance, there is no resemblance to him, Zhu Eighty-one, who has fused two souls.
was stunned, but heard Jiao Yu respond casually, "Of course it was taught by Master." The villain is not a hereditary craftsman, and when he was a child, his family couldn't afford to eat, so he sent the villain to become a Taoist priest. As a result, in the Taoist temple, in addition to sweeping the floor and fetching water, cooking and wiping the table, it is to give the Taoist master a hand to the villain! ”
"Your master, he, he taught you to use this, this driller?!" When Zhu Bayi heard this, the more surprised he felt in his heart, and unconsciously, two lines of cold sweat flowed down his sideburns.
Everyone stared at Jiao Yu polishing the barrel, so no one noticed his gaffe. Jiao Yu, who was obsessed with the work at hand, didn't hear the change in the voice of his own governor, he lowered his head and replied casually: "He didn't teach, the villain himself will watch the meeting." He fiddles with these things all day long, and he doesn't have the time to teach me! ”
"What is your Master's Dao name? Where is his Taoist temple? ”
"Come back, it seems like this. His Taoist temple is on the hill on the side of the villain's hometown. A very small one, which was later struck by lightning and abandoned! ”
"Where is your hometown? What about your master? Where is he now?! Zhu Bayi bit the tip of his tongue so that he could always stay awake.
A traverser, a traverser who is exactly like himself. He came many years earlier than himself, and has mastered some basic mechanical manufacturing processes proficiently. Aside from this answer, he couldn't find any reason to explain the origin of the two processes in front of him.
Jiao Yu was obviously a craftsman who was obsessed with mechanical manufacturing, and he didn't know where his master came from. Hearing Zhu Bayi's question, he didn't want to think about it, so he continued to respond casually, "It's gone!" On the day the Taoist temple was struck by lightning, he beat the villain to go down the mountain to buy something. When I walked to the foot of the mountain, I suddenly heard a "boom". When he turned around, the entire Taoist temple was shattered, and the flames rose more than three feet high. When the little one called the adults to go back to save him, the master and his old man would have already soared. In the end, only a large pile of scrap copper and rotten iron was picked up from the ruins and carried to the market to be sold. Then every family in the village shared a little money, and they had enough to eat for two or three months! ”
As he spoke, Jiao Yu began to shake the handwheel upside down. Pulling the drill out of the barrel in minutes, he raised the barrel to his eye and examined it carefully against the light, "Grinding it again will be about the same." The main thing is that the welds are edged, which are copper and tin lead, which are soft and easier to grind than iron. ”
"I'll come, I'll come, Master Jiao, you rest first!" Huang Lao was happy to see that he was hunting, pushed Jiao Yu away, clamped the half-finished barrel on the original horizontal drilling machine, and shook the handle to continue the internal polishing.
The other craftsmen also squatted down, touching, touching, and admiring the drilling press and the belt-driven hand drill. On the contrary, Jiao Yu was blocked from the periphery of the crowd, neither standing nor walking, stretching out his swarthy hand and scratching his scalp.
At this moment, where is Zhu Bayi's interest in continuing to observe how craftsmen learn to use drilling machines? Almost all his thoughts were on Jiao Yu's dead master, and he smiled weakly and continued to ask, "Then what else did you learn from your master?" Did he leave you a pattern? Patterns for making things?! ”
"It's gone!" Jiao Yu thought about it and shook his head innocently, "Basically, it's gone." Master has made a similar waterwheel, just like we have here. But it's not for my own use, it's for grinding noodles in the village, and there are a lot of large and small flywheels in it. When he ascended, I was still young and didn't know how to cultivate. It didn't take long for the watermill to break down. It was split by the villagers and burned as firewood! ”
"Tyrannical Heavenly Things, Absolutely Tyrannical Heavenly Things!" Zhu Bayi kept screaming in his heart, wishing to split Jiao Yu's head to see what useful memories were still hidden inside.
There are many flywheeled waterwheels, which are hydraulic machines that use multiple gears. At present, there are only three or four gears inside the waterwheel in the workshop, and the efficiency and maneuverability have already thrown a lot of the common waterwheels outside. And Master Jiao Yu's waterwheel actually has a dozen, or even dozens of gears. How could that be just a water-powered mill?! That's clearly an industrial machine!
"Governor, Governor? What's wrong with you? Yes, do you need to call Master Huang up? Seeing that Governor Zhu looked like he was about to go crazy, Jiao Yu was stunned and called in a low voice. At this moment, what he was thinking was completely different from Zhu Bayi.
When the master died, he was still young, and after so many years, the originally faint master-apprentice relationship has long been worn away by the years. The only thing I feel precious in my memory is that in those two years in the Taoist temple, I was able to eat a full meal every day, and occasionally I could drink a few sips of the broth left by the master.
"Oh?!" After all, he has gone through several times between life and death, and at present, Zhu Eighty-one's self-control ability has reached an astonishing level. was slightly stunned, and then realized his gaffe. Hurriedly shook his head at Jiao Yu with a smile, "No, let him toss." He's just like you, he can't care about anything when he gets to work! ”
"Well, yes!" Jiao Yu smiled and scratched his head a few times, and stopped talking.
"Say what you want?! As long as you stay and follow me, you can mention any conditions! "Even though I didn't get anything more out of the other side. Zhu Bayi still regarded Jiao Yu as a baby, smiled, and encouraged loudly!
This heart of cherishing talents is obviously out of the entire era. Jiao Yu was scared, and hurriedly waved his hand desperately, "No, don't dare, the little one really doesn't dare!" The governor was willing to give a small bite of food to eat. It's too late for a little to be happy, how dare you make a condition with your old man. It's it, it's it."
"What's it? Say! Don't spit out. After this village, there is no such shop! "Zhu Eighty-one often deals with craftsmen and knows the most direct and effective communication methods.
Sure enough, Jiao Yu's speech instantly became fluent, and he said with the degree of a pearl and arrow, "Then, that's what you just said, saying that the villain is big, and the master is a big craftsman."
"If you can't remember what you should remember, just remember this!" Zhu Eighty-one is angry and funny. Stretched out his hand and patted the other party on the shoulder, promising loudly, "Done!" Master craftsman, and deputy manager of the workshop. When Huang Lao is not there, it is up to you to decide here! ”
After that, he looked at Jiao Yu, who was stunned, and patted the person on the shoulder again, and added loudly: "In the future, the affairs of muskets and artillery will also be under your unified responsibility." I'm going to explain to Huang Lao. Ask people to give people, ask for money to give money. Let him give you his full support! ”
Note 1: At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was obviously an astonishing leap forward in China's firearms manufacturing. The author can't find out what caused this leap, so I simply blame it on the aftermath of the traverser. Of course, this is the words of a novelist, and everyone laughs!
