Chapter Ninety-Three: Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau
The southern suburbs of Shanghai County. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The construction of a huge construction site began two or three months ago, and now the land has been leveled, the infrastructure is being built, the fence has been built, and the magnificent gate has been built.
At the gate, a large plaque has been erected, with black characters on a white background, and the words "Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau" written in large block letters.
That's right, this is the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau under construction.
The layout of the Xiaoqingshan Arsenal is a little smaller, and the Xiaoqingshan Arsenal is retained, and here, a huge machine-building bureau is built.
This is an important part of Zhang Feng's many plans, Zhang Feng has completed the planning before going north to Qinwang, and the site selection began to build, after two or three months, the progress of the project has been nearly half.
Within the wall, the huge factory area is in full swing, a large number of people are working, some of them are building roads in the factory according to the regulations, these roads are no longer mixed with lime and yellow mud and other "triple soil", but cement concrete.
That's right, it's cement concrete!
Wu Sancai is the foreman, and is taking more than 20 people to repair the road, which is one of the main roads in the factory area, the roadbed has been leveled, and now everyone is paving cement concrete.
"Lao Lu, it's not flat here, you can level it here."
"Xiao Liu, there's no cement here, quickly pick two buckets of cement here."
“……”
Wu Sancai was busy with this and that, commanding here and there, and he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, feeling that he had to be worthy of his salary, and he was very responsible.
"Wu Tou, this cement is really so good, this paved road can really be stepped on, can it really walk?"
Everyone has never seen cement before, and they have never touched this thing, many people are very suspicious, Xiao Li saw that he accidentally stepped on a footprint, and couldn't help asking.
Wu Sancai said loudly: "Little Lizi, you stepped on such a footprint with your hairy hands, hurry up and smooth it out, now this cement has not dried, you can step on it in a few days and try it." ”
As a foreman, I know a little more than everyone, mainly because I had a meeting two days ago, and someone on it introduced cement to everyone and how to use cement.
"Wu Tou, can you really step on it after doing this?"
In fact, Wu Sancai had not touched cement before, and he didn't have much bottom in his heart, but when the people below asked again, Wu Sancai naturally puffed up his chest and said loudly: "In a few days, when this cement is dry, you will know." ”
"You can really walk on it, this thing is amazing!"
"yes, it's amazing, how did the chief soldier come up with such a thing?"
Everyone is full of curiosity while paving the road, and many people have already thought about it, and after a few days, when the cement road is dry, they must take a look at it and take a walk on it.
The cement plant has been built for a long time, and it was built soon after the shipyard, but because Zhang Feng went north to Qinwang, there was no Zhang Feng's "technical guidance" and failed to officially put into production, but everything was ready, and now Zhang Feng is back, naturally it was put into operation smoothly, and the first batch of cement produced was sent here for road repair.
Because the construction of the formal factory has not yet begun, Zhao Zuolin temporarily lives in a temporary room, the conditions are a little simpler, in one of the rooms, next to a large table, Zhang Feng is teaching Zhao Zuolin "hand in hand".
Today, Zhang Feng came to the newly established Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.
Zhang Feng came, Zhao Zuolin's heart was very light, when Zhang Feng was not there, Zhao Zuolin was completely crossing the river by feeling the stones, taking a step, trying a step, and bumping and bumping. Now it's okay, Zhang Feng has a backbone as soon as he comes.
For Zhao Zuolin, Zhang Feng was satisfied, in the two months that he was away, Zhao Zuolin and a group of craftsmen also made several steam engines, although it was "painting a scoop according to the gourd", according to the appearance of the original steam engine, but how to draw this scoop.
In the two months that Zhang Feng was away, Zhao Zuolin took a large group of craftsmen under him to produce and manufacture several steam engines according to the design drawings.
"Lao Zhao, this is a new type of steam engine, which is larger, more complex, and more difficult to manufacture than the steam engine we used on the two-thousand-material transport ship."
This is a steam engine newly designed by Zhang Feng, because of the relationship of time, it is only a design sketch, and it is estimated that it will take a while for the real design drawings to come out.
This is a horizontal 3-cylinder reciprocating steam engine with a maximum power of 2,000 horsepower, which belongs to a new generation of steam engines, with higher technical content and, of course, more difficult to manufacture.
After carefully looking at the design sketch, Zhao Zuolin frowned and said: "Boss, this steam engine is really big, more than twice as big as before, and many parts must be manufactured using machine tools." ”
There are already some machine tools, the first generation of machine tools is a wooden structure machine tool, the accuracy and processing capacity is very limited, the second generation of machine tools is a cast iron bed, the accuracy and processing capacity has been greatly improved, it can be regarded as a real practical machine tool.
Zhang Feng said: "Then use machine tools to process, on the development of machine tools, we can not relax, after the establishment of Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, your main task is to manufacture all kinds of machine tools, manufacture all kinds of steam engines, and manufacture all kinds of equipment. ”
Zhang Feng established the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, which is the purpose, to manufacture all kinds of machine tools, to manufacture steam engines, and strive to move towards the era of steam engines.
With Zhang Feng here, Zhao Zuolin felt confident and said confidently: "Boss, there is no problem, we will produce and manufacture all kinds of machine tools and all kinds of steam engines in the future." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Feng nodded. Because of the constraints of conditions, these machine tools and modern machine tools naturally have no way to compare, but in the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, this was epoch-making, and Zhang Feng was very satisfied with such machine tools.
With these machine tools, at least many things can be manufactured, such as a large steam engine just now, with a power of two thousand horsepower, such a steam engine is naturally prepared for the ironclad ship of the future.
These days, Zhang Feng found himself very busy, and many things had to be designed by himself, but there was no way to do this, Zhang Feng did not design it himself, and others could not design it at all.
Several machine tools need to be designed by Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng has already thought about it, not only to design several machine tools that will be used to manufacture future large-scale steam engines, but also to design special machine tools for processing gun barrels.
Previously, King Qinwang of the North, in several wars, now the shortcomings of this flintlock musket have been exposed, that is, the range is limited, the accuracy is relatively poor, and it is difficult to hit the target from a hundred meters away, which is also a common problem of smoothbore guns.
With a special machine tool for processing the barrel, Zhang Feng was able to improve the current flintlock musket, which was no longer a smoothbore gun, but a rifled gun, in which rifling would be processed, and the barrel would no longer use fine iron, but steel produced by the Shanghai Iron and Steel Plant.
There are a lot of things, and after returning from Shanghai, Zhang Feng has been busy, basically spending seventy or eighty percent of his energy in design every day.
Fortunately, Zhang Feng has a clear mind, knows what to do first, what to do later, there is a primary and secondary order, Zhang Feng first designed the large steam engine, and then the ironclad ship, as for the various machine tools, new barrels, etc., put it a little.
Zhang Feng's Mansion.
It's late at night, Zhang Feng is still fighting at night, and is designing this large steam engine, if it is just a simple design, Zhang Feng is far from so hard.
Zhang Feng not only has to design, but also considers its craftsmanship, must be combined with the current manufacturing level, can not be separated from reality, otherwise, the design can not be manufactured.
According to Zhang Feng's design technology level, not to mention the steam engine, even the advanced high-performance internal combustion engine can be designed, but this thing can never be manufactured after being designed, because the technical and technological requirements are too high, and it cannot be reached under the current conditions, and of course it cannot be manufactured.
Because of this consideration, Zhang Feng's design is not fast, and he has been busy for several days without completing the comprehensive design, and is still drawing, drawing design drawings of parts and components.
Late at night and quiet.
There were bursts of light footsteps, as if he was afraid of affecting Zhang Feng, and the door of the study was slowly pushed open, and it was Chen Yuanyuan who came in.
Chen Yuanyuan held a bowl of steaming ginseng soup in his hand, Chen Yuanyuan gently put the ginseng soup on the table, and then gently fiddled with the charcoal basin in the house to make the charcoal fire more vigorous and the house warmer.
Seeing that Zhang Feng was drawing seriously, Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Zhang Feng with pity, of course, in addition to regret, there was also admiration in his eyes.
With the deepening of his understanding of Zhang Feng, Chen Yuanyuan already knew that Zhang Feng was not an ordinary person, at least Chen Yuanyuan couldn't understand these drawings at all, but he knew that this was a very great thing.
Chen Yuanyuan saw Zhang Feng's serious appearance, Chen Yuanyuan felt that Zhang Feng was particularly handsome, thinking of the word handsome, Chen Yuanyuan's face was slightly red, and he secretly took a sip of himself.
After about a few minutes, Zhang Feng put down the charcoal in his hand, and Chen Yuanyuan said, "Brother Feng, the ginseng soup is almost cold, you drink it quickly." ”
Zhang Feng took a few sips of ginseng soup and drank it, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Yuanyuan, you haven't slept yet, are you waiting for me!" ”
Chen Yuanyuan's face turned slightly red, and he glanced at Zhang Feng with a charming look, "Who is waiting for you, I'll sleep with Fluttershy tonight." ”
Zhang Feng deliberately exaggerated and shouted: "Don't, in this cold day, no one will be very cold when they warm the quilt." ”
Since having a round room with Chen Yuanyuan a few days ago, Zhang Feng has been obsessed with that kind of taste, and he pulls Chen Yuanyuan to sleep with him every day.
Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid of the cold, so I'll ask Fluttershy to accompany you." ”
Fluttershy is Chen Yuanyuan's personal maid, and according to the "convention" of this era, sooner or later she will be Zhang Feng's person, so Chen Yuanyuan said this jokingly.
In Zhang Feng's opinion, although Fluttershy has already made a full beauty, she is too young to do anything, so she has to wait another year or two to talk about it.
Zhang Feng said, "Fluttershy, where is round and beautiful, let's go, let's sleep." ”
After speaking, Zhang Feng took Chen Yuanyuan's hand and walked towards the bedroom, Chen Yuanyuan followed Zhang Feng with a slightly red face, and it didn't take long for a moving voice to come from the bedroom.
