Chapter 61: Mini Bullet Comes Out
Hong Xuanjiao's face suddenly turned red, glanced at Wang Feng, and snorted coldly: "There are many women waiting in line for him to marry, that!" There is Dongwang's sister, his childhood sweetheart Sister Luanxiang, and Sister Luanxiang's sister eyebrows with him, by the way, I don't think he has good intentions towards that ghost woman, I don't want to join in this fun! ”
Wang Feng broke out in a cold sweat, touched his forehead, and said: "Our affairs can be put aside, I'm still young, I can afford to wait, but the soldiers' lifelong events can't be delayed, whether they succeed or not, you can make a statement!" ”
"Well" Hong Dingjiao held up her cheeks and thought: "Marry my female soldiers to those stinky men, although I am wronged, it is not impossible to consider, but I don't want them to be widowed when they get married~~ Women, you don't even have a father to give birth to a child, you men are happy, you don't care about anything when you mention pants, and how do you know the pain of our women raising children alone?"
Wait, wait until the stability comes down, who has the life to live, okay, I'll go and see how much you have collected what you want, and I'll send it to you as soon as I have it. As he spoke, he stepped on the horse brought by the female soldier, slammed the horse's belly, and walked away!
Sheng Xuanhuai turned his head helplessly and said: "No wonder Sister Xuanjiao doesn't want to marry you, I don't have a problem, you can do it yourself." ”
"Alas~~" Wang Feng sighed dejectedly!
An hour later, Hong Xuanjiao sent 150 catties of lead and tin each, as well as five blacksmiths and five potters, all of whom are said to be masters with decades of experience, Wang Feng was overjoyed!
It is not difficult to convert the high-quality flintlock pistol originating in the United Kingdom into a Mini gun, the key is that its barrel is of good quality and can withstand the rifling carved out by a carving knife, but the manufacture of Mini bullets is more troublesome, Wang Feng first asked people to bring the Mini gun he made last night, and carefully measured the caliber of the barrel, because there was no vernier caliper, he could only remake a millimeter scale ruler according to the centimeter plus hair, and it took a lot of effort to get less than 0.254 mm as the diameter of the Mini bullet.
Mini bullets are made of lead and tin according to two to one, the melting point of lead and tin is very low, and there is no difficulty in melting, but the molding needs to be cast in an iron mold, and with the level and productivity conditions of these blacksmiths in front of them, in order to meet the requirements of accuracy, it is unimaginable without repeated trials, Wang Feng can only let the potter make a disposable mold first!
After drawing the drawings, Wang Feng said to the potters: "Everyone, each of you makes a mold according to the requirements above, and whoever makes it will be rewarded with five taels of silver!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, just like in the TV series, and the two female soldiers each came over with a plate, and the plate was stacked with neat silver ingots.
The potter's eyes were green, the blacksmith's face was full of envy, and an old potter slammed his chest: "Please rest assured, we promise to complete the task as required!" ”
Wang Feng waved his hand noncommittally: "I hope so!" ”
The five potters immediately put into the work, generally speaking, ordinary pottery firing takes seven to eight hours, but the Mini bullet mold is a one-time use, in addition to the requirements for precision, the requirements for quality are not high, and the accuracy is all about the level of production of the blank and the estimation of the reduction range, so the potters all use soft pottery.
Soft pottery is similar to plasticine before firing, rich in the Jiangnan area, and the production cycle is extremely fast, some poor people can not afford to use the ceramics fired in the kiln, so they use soft pottery products.
Although there is no resemblance between the Minnie bullet mold and the pots and pans usually made by potters, it has to be said that their technique is very skillful, worthy of decades of experience of the old craftsman, about half an hour later, the mold has been made one after another, and each lit a charcoal fire to bake, ten minutes later, the fire was extinguished, and cooled for half an hour, and then brought to Wang Feng.
According to the requirements, the tolerance of the inner diameter of the mold cannot exceed 0.2 mm, Wang Feng picked up the first mold and measured it for a long time, before he said with a regretful face: "It's a little bigger, this is not good!" As he spoke, he picked up the next one, and after a moment, shook his head: "No, too!" ”
"No, no!" This batch of five, none of them met the standard!
The potters were very frustrated and a little unconvinced, Wang Feng said: "In the West, mechanized production has been realized, what is the most basic requirement of mechanization?" It is standardization and precision, you don't blame me for being harsh, but firearms and bullets have very high requirements for standardization and accuracy, we now have no mechanical production of bullets for the time being, we can only rely on manual work, and you are the best potter master in Songjiang, I believe in you, you also have to believe in yourself, failure is the mother of success, a failure is nothing, but to extract lessons, in addition, you don't want to be alone, to negotiate together, communicate with each other, and work together!
In this way, I will revise the conditions, and now you are a collective, and everyone has a share, and each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver! Come, come on, Lao Tzu won't do anything today, I'll accompany you to consume! ”
It was still the old potter who said: "You have said it to this point, and if you can't make it, we will be embarrassed to incense our ancestors!" ”
The five potters got together, muttered according to the drawings for a while, and then began to work again, and after nearly an hour, finally three molds met the requirements!
Wang Feng cashed on the spot, five taels of silver per person, the potters were happy to smile on their faces, and then the Mini bullet was made by Wang Feng himself, after melting the lead and tin in proportion, poured into the mold at one time, the basic requirement is that the eyes are fast, two to three seconds after the lead liquid solidifies, and then use a scraper to scrape off the excess lead curd, and then install the bottom hole template, with a hammer to tap the tail punch twice, that is, the steel cone of moderate size, when dialed out, there is a pop, which indicates that the tail top and the elastic mold are very seamless.
Each mold can cast eight bullets at the same time, Wang Feng used two, scraped off the excess lead and then smashed the mold, sixteen bullets appeared, and finally with a small ball made of graphite and paraffin put in a bowl and rolled for five minutes, Mini bullets were completed.
Looking at the silver bullet, the people around him all breathed a sigh of relief, Sheng Xuanhuai picked one up curiously, pinched it and said, "This thing looks simple, but it takes a lot of work to make." ”
"Sheng Xuanhuai!" Wang Feng seized the opportunity to educate, and said earnestly: "If we have a machine, not to mention Mini bullets, it is very easy to build guns and cannons, but the reality is that we don't have it, and then take a step back and say, even if we buy it from abroad, it is just a machine, and it can't become a big climate, and what we lack the most is talent!"
You are the first talent I cultivated, when we stand firm and recruit students, I have to take care of the military and politics, I can only grasp a general outline, I am afraid that you will have to bother to teach students, you study and teach at the same time, they have mastered the basics, and they also teach others while learning, in the long run, our talents will be like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger!
What is the population of the West? Britain is about 50 million, and we have more than 300 million people in China, at most ten or twenty years, our Chinese talents will far exceed the United Kingdom, there are a large number of talents as the backing, becoming the world's first power is not a dream, and this qiē, and you have a heavy relationship, the burden on your shoulders is not light, can you bear it? ”
