At four o'clock in the morning, Zhu Daolin, who was poured down last night, got up and looked for water everywhere to drink, Duan Deming, who didn't know when he arrived, turned on the headlights and happily handed Zhu Daolin a big tea jar of the old army: "Local local tea, hangover elixir, if you don't dislike it, drink it." ”

Where can Zhu Daolin still take care of dislike? took the big tea jar and drank more than a pound of tea in one go, and then sat on the edge of the bed and scolded:

"As soon as Lao Tzu entered the door, he knew that your dog and the day were not well-intentioned, so that Lao Tzu vomited three times, and there was no lamb left in the stomach, leaving a belly of sheep smell, your dog and the day are vicious!"

Duan Deming laughed, and after laughing, he scolded admiringly: "You dog, you are not ruthless?" Even if I poured my two brothers and three cousins down on the spot, I even confused my old man, making him like a fool, talking nonsense with his eyes and eyebrows, and not allowing others to help him, and finally he fell crookedly and leaned back against the wall, shameful! I haven't settled accounts with you yet. ”

Zhu Daolin grinned, took the cigarette thrown by Duan Deming, took the lighter and lit it, and felt that his throat was hot after taking a puff, he frowned slightly, picked up the cigarette and looked at it and took another puff, amused Duan Deming again: "If you don't want to smoke, throw it away, don't force it." ”

"It's okay, the second bite is comfortable." Zhu Daolin has no addiction to smoking, but he does not refuse to smoke one at this time: "The factory is better, right?" ”

Duan Deming smiled proudly: "When you came in by car, didn't you see the two heavy trucks driving out head-on?" The car is full of parts that we process......"

"Since the end of last month, we have achieved profitability, more than 300 old workers and more than 200 temporary workers in the factory have received full wages, and the momentum is more than one, and it is expected to earn about 2 million by the end of the year, and wait for the fame to go out. The benefits are only going to get better. ”

Zhu Daolin was very happy: "I didn't expect your kid to move very fast, do a good job!" ”

"Hungry or not? Let's go down and have a bite to eat, it's still a while before dawn. Duan Deming suggested.

Zhu Daolin was also not polite, and followed Duan Deming down to the first floor, Duan Deming instructed the two young men on duty to go to the hot meal quickly, and deliberately took out a bottle of Moutai from the cardboard box next to the wall. Zhu Daolin smiled and asked him to take two more bottles out, which immediately extinguished Duan Deming's arrogance.

The two filled their stomachs, chatted and drank two pots of tea, and when they went out, it was already bright.

At this time, the workers in the factory began to go to work, most of them rode motorcycles, and many old workers in their fifties and sixties came to the factory by bicycle, and saw Duan Deming and Zhu Daolin greet each other warmly.

A few young girls in overalls and hats gathered together and whispered from afar. asked others curiously: "Who is the tall long-haired handsome guy next to Mr. Duan?" ”

Duan Deming is also a hard-working character without a frame, nodding all the way to respond to the greetings of the workers, and taking Zhu Daolin through the deep factory area, along a simple road in the middle of a forest, to the gate of an old factory at the foot of the mountain to the west.

Duan Deming's second brother, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, came up to shake hands with Zhu Daolin and greet him, and the exhaled breath still had a strong smell of wine, and his eyes were as red as rabbits, and it seemed that he was not lightly drunk last night.

There were not many people in the old factory built in the sixties. There was no sign of construction, and Duan Deming took Zhu Daolin to the door of the large open factory full of coal ash. Pointing to the casting trench that was still steaming, he said to Zhu Daolin:

"THIS LONG TROUGH IS ALL 125MM CALIBER FRONT AND BORE CAST STEEL, CANNONS, BARRELS AND BARRELS 2800MM LONG, ABSOLUTELY STRONGER THAN THE BRITISH 24-POUNDER NAVAL GUNS DURING THE BRITISH WAR IN 1840."

"In the warehouse at the intersection where we passed just now, there were the first batch of three guns of the same caliber cast, each of which had been tested with 50 rounds of live ammunition. According to the test results of our small number of 2.5kg custom packs, black grains, gunpowder and ammunition, the maximum range of 7.5kg cast iron solid projectiles is not less than 2500 meters, the muzzle velocity is about 460 meters to 470 meters per second, and the total weight is about 1,850 kilograms. It's perfectly possible to install on a two-wheeled gun carriage like the one you talked about last time. ”

"This slip of 5 cast steel and cannons can be taken out after two hours, sent to the east workshop and then heated and quenched and tempered process, and then processed in the inner chamber, and then put on the lathe for processing...... It will take at least three more days to build. ”

Zhu Daolin didn't expect this guy to really do it: "It's so surprising to me, it's very good!" Is the mountain city reluctant to produce? ”

Duan Deming glared at Zhu Daolin: "How is this possible?" A FEW DAYS AFTER I CAME BACK FROM YOU, I WORKED WITH THE TECHNICIANS AND A FEW MASTERS IN THE FACTORY TO REDESIGN THE BREECH GUNS OF 50MM, 80MM, 125MM, 150MM AND 210MM FOR YOU WITH REFERENCE TO THE BREECH AND GUNS OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES IN THE 19TH CENTURY, AND THEN TOOK MY ELDEST BROTHER AND RUSHED TO THE FACTORY IN THE MOUNTAIN CITY. ”

"After reading our design drawings, Brother Chen called two young engineers from his factory, discussed with our two brothers for two days, and used the computer to repeatedly calculate the data of forging and casting, and finally finalized it after several revisions."

"CONSIDERING THAT OUR EQUIPMENT AND TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES ARE NOT AS GOOD AS THEIRS, WE WILL GIVE THEM THE 80MM, 150MM, 210MM THESE THREE CALIBERS, ACCORDING TO YOUR WISHES DO NOT WANT THEM TO INVOICE, THE PRICE IS MUCH CHEAPER, WITH A SIMPLE MECHANICAL BUFFER RE-ENTRY SPRING BASE UNIT PRICES ARE 15,500 YUAN, 27,000 YUAN, 32,500 YUAN, THE QUANTITY IS 50 DOORS OF EACH CALIBER, I PAID 30% IN ADVANCE."

"YESTERDAY I ALSO CALLED TO ASK ABOUT THE PRODUCTION SITUATION, THE 80MM AND 150MM CALIBER HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, AND SOON IT WILL BE THE TURN OF 50 DOORS OF 210MM CALIBER, AND IT IS ESTIMATED THAT IT WILL BE DELIVERED IN ABOUT A MONTH."

ZHU DAOLIN EXCITEDLY GAVE DUAN DEMING A PUNCH: "THE DELIVERY OVER THERE IN SHANCHENG WILL NOT BE RENEWED, AND ALL THE REST WILL BE LEFT TO YOU TO DO, AND AFTER I GO BACK, I WILL MAIL A FEW SETS OF GUN TRUCKS OVER TO INSTALL THREE KINDS OF GUNS: 50MM CALIBER, 80MM CALIBER AND 125MM CALIBER." ”

"As for the other two large-caliber guns, most of them have to be installed on sail warships, you can improve them as much as you want, don't be afraid of spending money, I have nothing else left but money now."

Duan Deming was very happy: "Actually, if you don't say it, I will strive to win, with detailed design drawings and parameters, and then with the casting experience and experimental data of the 125MM gun, we can definitely do a good job, even if the 320MM caliber fortress gun can be made, the disadvantage is that it cannot reduce the weight of the gun like forging." ”

"Then it's decided, you can save me a lot of things if you make it, haha!"

Zhu Daolin is very confident in Duan Deming and the old workers in the factory, casting cannons is not a high-tech thing, with Zhu Daolin's understanding of modern casting technology and steel materials, as long as he understands the technical principles and has enough raw materials to try a few more times, the craftsmen of Hushan Manor can also be competent, but they can't be compared with the steel cannons cast with modern technology and technology, if they are cast in bronze, it is absolutely fine.

Duan Deming thought for a moment and asked, "Do you still need us to provide you with an iron model for casting and cannons?" ”

ZHU DAOLIN NODDED: "I WANT IT, BUT ONLY THREE IRON MODELS OF 50MM, 80MM AND 125MM CALIBERS ARE USED FOR THE CASTING OF BRONZE ARTILLERY." ”

"Of course, if you have a new design scheme, you can also build a cast steel cannon for me, and I will build as much as I want, at least within the year."

"I'll be able to build you 1,000 doors by the end of the year, are you going to get that many?" Duan Deming asked again.

ZHU DAOLIN SMILED: "YOU CAN BUILD ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF 5,000 DOORS, AND BUILD MORE THAN 125MM, I HAVE A WAY TO SELL THEM." ”

"You don't have to worry about this matter at all, you just have to cast the cannon and collect the money, and when the artillery over there in the mountain city is delivered to you, I will come over and pick it up at once, and it won't delay you, hehe!"

"Damn! Your grandson is getting more and more chattering, as long as I can make money, ghosts are rare about your, let's go. After Duan Deming finished speaking, he raised his feet and left.

Zhu Daolin followed him out of dozens of meters, the more he walked, the more rugged the road became, and when he looked up, there were thorn bushes and piles of rocks in front of him, where was there a road?

Zhu Daolin hurriedly grabbed Duan Deming and asked, "Where is this going?" ”

Duan Deming pointed to the second brother and two old workers behind Zhu Daolin: "Go to the Houshan shooting range, don't you want to try the flint, hair pistol and revolver I made for you?" ”

Zhu Daolin immediately turned around, only to find that the smiling Second Brother Duan and the two old workers came with him at some point, each carrying two brand-new flint and hair pistols, and one or two jet-black and shiny revolvers stuck in their waists, which immediately made Zhu Daolin stupid on the spot.
