A famous person in later generations said well: "When you don't have a sense of crisis, crisis has come to you." ”

The establishment of the iron factory and the successful sales of the first batch of products made the people in the village see the hope of a better life in the future, which is of course a good thing, but people are lazy, especially the constraints of China's small peasant thinking, Deng Shifeng believes that once the people in the village live a good life, they will not want to forge ahead and do not seek new breakthroughs, for this, he has long been prepared.

As long as the development and construction of the new village has been progressing, then everything in the new village will become the object of coveting by local officials, local officials, large households and even bandits

According to the original plan, because the villagers will not resume work and classes until after the Lantern Festival, although Deng Shifeng also complained that this holiday seems to be too long, but the ancients of this era still attach great importance to the New Year, so Deng Shifeng also had to pinch his nose and prepare to endure until after the Lantern Festival before resuming classes and starting work. It is because of the failure of Luo Dan's marriage that this sense of crisis surfaced in advance, and the villagers intuitively realized that those young people, even some middle-aged people in their thirties who have not yet married a wife, have appeared in training grounds, iron factories and schools for the happiness of their second half of their lives and lower bodies, whether voluntarily or persecuted by their families...... Their request is very simple, less rest, more work, whether it is to make money, earn materials or even training and study, just so that they can get rid of poverty as soon as possible and get what they want in the process of expanding the population in the future......

With such a good thing, Deng Shifeng naturally would not let it go, and schools, iron factories and mines soon reopened classes, and everything began to speed up under the stimulation of the sense of crisis.

Due to the advance of the professional army construction plan, the research and production of firearms must also be advanced, fortunately, Deng Shifeng had a certain amount of preparation before the Chinese New Year, and collected some of the nitrate and sulfur as reserves, otherwise the shortage of raw materials would inevitably cause a waste of time and efficiency. The research and production of gunpowder is not difficult, not to mention the two masters of chemistry in my head, even the salesman who likes to read time-traveling novels can find relevant technical instructions from some works in his memory, and even how to polish granular gunpowder into a more powerful light medicine method...... I found a few students and women to get a few masks, and built a ventilated shed not far from the iron factory, built a stove and a pot, and set up a stinky earth-made fire nitrate purification workshop.

After the processing and purification of gunpowder made a good start for the production of gunpowder, Zhao Laosi and his apprentices had to make tools for mass production of gunpowder according to some drawings given by Deng Shifeng, and Lao Sun Tou took his son to study and make the first batch of short gun barrels and other metal parts to form the first batch of short muskets for training, what about Deng Shifeng? He is not responsible for the main production of a certain job, but he has to give opinions on the development process from time to time for each project of the construction that started at the same time, fortunately, the two students he brought in the school have basically been able to help him act as a substitute teacher, otherwise Deng Shifeng can occupy a lot of his precious time teaching in the school every day.

Deng Shifeng, who squeezed out the time, arranged a lot of time on two projects, one is the pre-production and pre-production of the equipment and process of firing glass; Although there is still a period of time away from the second transaction with Huang Zhangshi, I don't know if Huang Zhangshi can help him get better raw materials and other raw materials in the next transaction, but the time is tight and can't wait, Deng Shifeng organized people to try pre-research on a small amount of quartz sand and other materials that can be obtained at present, so that after the arrival of materials, it can be directly produced on a small scale.

The second project was the development of muskets; Because the iron factory produced good quality steel, and a blacksmith like Lao Sun Tou also followed his father to make things such as muskets, it is said that the development of muskets should not involve Deng Shifeng, and only need to provide the corresponding drawings to Lao Sun Tou; It's just that considering the actual situation in the village and the shortage of soldiers, Deng Shifeng finally decided to produce a product that was not a flintlock pistol that was ahead of this era, but a more advanced Sharps rifle with a rear-loading paper cartridge case and a fire cap.

The advantages and disadvantages of the front-loading flintlock pistol have been obvious, compared with the Sharps rifle with more parts and complex technology, the front-loading flintlock pistol is more conducive to large-scale rapid equipment, but its slow loading, single loading posture, and low accuracy shortcomings are also exposed. If it weren't for the current lack of more copper materials and the temporary lack of qualified stamping machines, Deng Shifeng would prefer to use the copper shell directly on the bottom of the flange.

However, because of the jump technology, the development of the rifle is not going smoothly, even if Deng Shifeng has tried his best to take into account the current production technology, and used a lot of equipment and ready-made materials in the cave to produce these dozen high-precision rifles, but the complex parts processing still makes the old grandson and his son suffer. In particular, the production of the most critical barrel of the rifle and the rifling drawing almost didn't make the old grandson crazy when he got these two things.

For this situation, Deng Shifeng also knew that he was in a hurry to launch such a product in advance when the technical reserves were not sufficient, but let him go back and pick up the flintlock pistol that was relatively simple and easy to produce...... Deng Shifeng would never think like this in his heart.

The practice of jumping technology is very risky, and Deng Shifeng, who has the memory of a mechanic in his mind, will not be unaware of what it means, but Deng Shifeng does not plan to settle for the second best thing to pick up the flintlock pistol, because the reason is very simple - he needs the advantage of technology to make up for the weakness of manpower and the more opponents he will have to face in the future. At the same time, Deng Shifeng's choice of this rifle as the current transitional weapon is also to make technical reserves for larger-scale equipment rear-loading rifles in the future.

The flintlock pistol has been developed in Europe according to the current progress of the times, and it will not be long before the old arquebus will be replaced by the flintlock pistol; In China, because the Manchus would not take many years to enter the customs, the Manchus at that time had learned how to use the Han and firearms troops, and when facing the Manchu army, their own flintlock pistols could not take much advantage; At the same time, the flintlock pistol and the arquebus compared with the technology of the leap of the surname, as long as a flintlock pistol falls into the hands of the other party, then with the absorption and digestion ability of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, I believe that it will not be long before the number of the other party's flintlock pistol is enough to drown their side.

A milestone technological innovation in the development of muskets is the emergence of fire caps, although the fire caps are not too convenient and easy to fire at the beginning, but the emergence of fire caps has brought the development of muskets to a new level, so that the fully wrapped copper cartridge shells have finally replaced the paper ammunition that is susceptible to moisture and damage; The convenience of all-encompassing ammunition also led to the further development of firearms, eventually leading to the emergence of more reliable bolt-action rifles and repeating machine guns.

At the same time, the fire cap technology has a leading edge in science and technology in this time and space, even if the other party seizes its own guns for imitation, but the core of the fire cap is by no means able to be simply imitated, which requires a systematic chemical research and processing and production process, from how to extract sulfuric acid to process into nitric acid, and then to carry out chemical reactions and technical processes according to the formula ratio and mercury and other compounds, this series of production is supported by science; Even if some of the workers defected, they would eventually be unable to imitate because they could not understand the entire chemical process.

The development progress of the rifle is very slow, from metal machining to processing chemicals, but fortunately, there is still a certain amount of time to tackle various problems, Deng Shifeng also wants to use the development process to make a leap forward in the overall technology, such a technology leap is successful, Deng Shifeng will have enough confidence to face more difficult challenges. Moreover, in the process of jumping technology, Deng Shifeng still has several magic weapons to promote and ensure the success of the whole process, that is, in the cave, the mechanical processing equipment such as the old-fashioned lathe and milling machine.

When an old machinery factory in Liuzhou collapsed in the new century market wave, several old workers did not want the equipment that had accompanied them all their lives to be wasted, so they pooled money to buy it and opened a small machinery processing factory by themselves. And these old machines don't look older than these old people, but if you want to talk about their origins, they are all made in Germany during World War II, and their quality is absolutely good. A few years after being repatriated by the Soviet Union after the war, it traveled thousands of miles to southern China as aid, and finally settled in Longcheng, Liuzhou, where it was carefully maintained by these old men and their masters until the crossing.

Compared with the new machine tool, the old machine tool does not look old, but in fact, as long as the old machine tool is properly maintained, its machining accuracy is even better than that of similar new machine tools (compared with similar parts processing machine tools, and what five-axis linkage equipment is not a processing type There is no comparable surname), so the bull fork is because the old machine tool has been gradually released after decades of aging and use, and the metal stress inside itself has been gradually released for a long time, and there is no metal stress that affects the accuracy of each other. This machining accuracy will naturally improve. Therefore, it is often said on the Internet in later generations that the quality of German machine tools and equipment can be so good, and its own high technical level is one thing, and another reason is that the Germans began to store the bed and bottom table of the future machine tool as early as a few decades ago, and use time and surname to make products. Compared with the corresponding, the domestic machine tool seat often only has a few years to eliminate internal stress, so in the actual production process, there are often such and such inexplicable subtle machining errors......

With these treasures, Deng Shifeng naturally has a lot of confidence to leapfrog to improve the technical level, of course, to start them, is also a huge threshold in front of Deng Shifeng, in addition to the placement, debugging equipment requires a very high level of experience, just to solve a stable industrial power supply, is the need to face the hard surname threshold......
