Shangyuan Wharf, military warehouse.

Facing Xuan Qing and Xuan Fang's curious gaze, Zhu Daolin shook his head: "In a short period of time, it is not possible to move the steam engine to the warship......

"It is estimated that it will take at least a year for the craftsmen to thoroughly understand the steam engine technology, but they can use the ready-made steam engine I bought from Tianshu Pavilion to solve the problem of using nearly 100 idle machine tools!"

"As long as the various steam engines manufactured by Tianshu Pavilion are moved to Longtan Machine Tool Factory and nearly 100 machine tools are rotated, even if the success is half, I think it will not take two years, and the entire Ming Dynasty will enter an unprecedented period of rapid development because of the use of steam engines."

"By that time, all kinds of machine parts, standard parts such as screws and screws, flintlock bolts and barrels, and even steel helmets and artillery can be made, which is absolutely the world's unique cutting-edge technology, and there is no semicolon except us."

Daoist Xuanqing and the others sighed.

In the face of all kinds of new things for more than a year, from the initial shock and novelty, gradually turned to adapt and accept, and after slowly getting used to it, I don't feel any mystery, just like gradually accepting new things such as cement, ceramics, new textile machines, metric weights and measures, honeycomb coal, rice mills and pressurized water wells.

However, as long as you compare it with two years ago, you will find that the changes brought by Zhu Daolin are very huge, slowly changing everyone's way of life, and maybe it will change the pattern of the future in the future.

"Slow!"

Zhu Daolin's shout interrupted the emotion of Daoist Xuanqing and the others.

Zhu Daolin strode forward and instructed a few dock workers to go and do something else, and called a few junior disciples to instruct: "Please ask a few junior disciples to move these six boxes with three black bars painted on them to the car board, and pull the car under the big tree over there." ”

Several young juniors immediately complied.

Zhu Daolin went back and invited Xuanqing Dao Chief, Xuanji, and Xuanfang to wait under the tree: "Inside those six boxes, there are 300 Taiji swords customized by the disciple in the most famous sword-casting workshop in Tianshu Pavilion, which are more sophisticated than the two batches of Taiji swords brought back before. All are made of the best alloy steel, the rare water moire sword body can blow hair and break hair, the hilt is cast in sterling silver and then carved with gossip and cloud dragon ornamentation, the scabbard is made of mahogany, shark skin and silver, and the price of each is more than 10,000 yuan. ”

"In addition, there are six swords specially customized by the disciples for the master and the five uncles, imitating the Mo Evil Sword of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Created by Mr. Zhang Yesheng, the sword casting master of Tianshu Pavilion, the sterling silver hilt and sword shaft are inlaid with gold and black and white jade to decorate the dragon pattern and Taiji diagram, both in shape and internal quality, are slightly better than the Qin Wang Sword on the disciple's waist, these six swords are the disciple's heart, I implore the master and the uncle to accept it! ”

"The Tianshu Pavilion is still building 8,000 embroidered spring knives for its disciples, and after the construction is completed, the contract between them will be stopped, and if Ziyang Guan needs to build a sword in the future, he can only find a way by himself."

Xuanfang Dao Chief, who had long thought of having a precious sword, immediately walked towards the big cart that was pushed over. Daoist Xuanqing thought about it, went up to stop Xuanfang from opening the box, and whispered a few words in Xuanfang's ear, Xuanfang immediately understood, and personally escorted the carriage loaded with six rectangular wooden boxes back to Ziyang Temple.

Zhu Daolin saw Li Kuanji, the acting governor of the Firearms Bureau, standing at the gate and smiling at himself, immediately took out his pocket watch, and saw that there were still forty minutes before the meeting, so he handed the key to the door to Daoist Xuanji: "The disciple will preside over the meetings of the major workshops later." Trouble Uncle Shi to stay in custody, and help lock the door after transporting the machine. ”

Daoist Xuanji took the thick brass key: "Tomorrow I want to go to Longtan with you." Look at what the gun factory has done. ”

"Okay, we'll have dinner together after the morning exercise, and then we'll ride off." Zhu Daolin immediately agreed.

The second master, who was both internal and external, both civil and military, did not resign from his position as the superintendent, but instead stepped down from his position as the abbot of the Ziyang Guan Medicine Temple, and sat in the martial arts academy for him, doing his best to cultivate talents. How can you not make Zhu Daolin grateful?

If it weren't for the fact that this second division uncle was nearly half a hundred years old and unwilling to come to the forefront, Zhu Daolin would have invited him to the army to assist him in commanding the whole army.

Seeing that his beloved disciple was leaving, Daoist Xuanqing hurriedly went up and grabbed Zhu Daolin, and said in a low voice: "Let me tell you first, the six swords of your filial piety." I'm going to give each of your four uncles and your Uncle Xuanfang...... As for my one, it will be sent to the Maoshan Ancestral Court and dedicated to the real person in charge. ”

"In the past six months, the real person in charge of the sect has wanted to open, and has given a lot of support to Ziyang Temple, and has also sent more than 100 young disciples from various sects of the ancestral court to Ziyang Temple to practice, and even a few elders who are proficient in medicine and pharmacology in the inner court have also been sent, which has helped the teacher a lot, so the teacher dare not forget him."

Zhu Daolin thought about it, untied the Qin Wang sword from his waist, and sent it to the master with both hands: "Disciple, this sword is murderous, only the master can suppress it, after a few years the technology of the smelter has improved, our craftsmen will definitely be able to create a satisfactory sword." ”

Xuan Qing Dao Chief's eyes suddenly flushed.

Zhu Daolin didn't wait for him to speak, then turned around and left, walked to the door and grabbed Li Kuanji, who was bent down and saluted, and asked as he walked: "I've never seen you look for me in private, there's good news, right?" ”

Li Kuanji was affectionately pulled by Zhu Daolin's arm, his heart was extremely comfortable, and when he walked out more than 20 steps and saw no one around him, he immediately asked Zhu Daolin to stop, took out a shiny little thing from the delicate leather box on his waist, held it in his palm, and slowly stretched it out in front of Zhu Daolin, and asked proudly with a smile: "I don't know if the general is satisfied?" ”

Zhu Daolin's eyes widened, stretched out his slightly trembling hand, squeezed the all-copper bullet in Li Kuanji's palm, turned it over and over again in front of his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly: "The body of the bullet is smooth and flat, regular and symmetrical, the bullet head is tightly pressed, and the bottom flange is round and standardized, as long as the primer is fine, it can be fired smoothly and then pulled and thrown into the shell, without frequent failures like the previous trial production of copper-bottomed paper shell bullets, and when the shell cannot be thrown, the hook is needed to help, which not only delays time, but also is easy to accumulate carbon and wear and tear. This bullet far surpasses the previous trial samples, and it can be called a huge technical transcendence! ”

"The most rare thing is that you can abandon the backward coiled cartridge shell manufacturing process and use the two sets of punch bowl machines I gave you, and use them so well, it is very remarkable, it is beyond my expectations, and it is beautiful!"

Li Kuanji, who had lost a lot of weight and had two big eye bubbles, reported happily: "It all depends on the thin copper coil brought back by the general, otherwise even if you figure out how to use the two sets of punching machines, you can't use the thin copper plate without uniform thickness and flexible texture." ”

"Before, we spent thousands of pounds of self-made thin copper plates, but we couldn't punch out a complete shell that was not deformed or cracked, and a group of master craftsmen of the research institute couldn't take it after squatting in our workshop for two months, so we specially built a cold rolling mill with five rods and shafts, and pulled it with a four-headed horse, and the rolled copper plate still didn't work."

"The master craftsmen went back to check the information, and got back two 100-kilogram crucible smelting copper plates from the smelter, took them back and rolled out thin plates, and then compared them with the coils that the general quietly got back, and then they understood that there was a problem with the formula of copper smelting, and now those master craftsmen are still experimenting with what copper six zinc four plus lead powder are distributed, I don't know if they can figure it out in a year or two."

Zhu Daolin raised a small copper-shelled bullet and sighed to the sky: "Who said that my Han nation is not creative? From now on, who will dare to deceive me, no one in China! ”
