They have all experienced the power of the wolf's tooth rifle, this new gun is not much different from the appearance of the South Japanese rifle, only a few more rifling, and now the gun has been improved and the adjustable ruler has been added.

But the range of this new gun was really terrifying, and after many tests, they found that even if this gun was 400 paces away, the projectile still had considerable lethality, and could easily penetrate leather armor and kill people.

The accuracy within 200 steps even exceeds the shooting accuracy of the Nan Japanese smoothbore gun at 40 steps, and when shooting with concentrated fire, it is completely easy to inflict heavy damage on the enemy at a distance of 300 meters.

In the first exercise, they found that all the light infantry companies equipped with wolf's tooth rifles could easily withstand the attacks of the other five companies, and also caused serious casualties to these five companies.

In this way, the officers and men of the army were all happy and stupid, compared to those bulky cannons, with the current level of animal power of their army, even if their boss agreed to give them, they could not play around, they could only set these cannons in fixed artillery barriers, and could not drag them for mobile combat at all.

However, the use of lightweight wolf's tooth rifles has finally allowed them to obtain an effective weapon on land, which can suppress all enemy firepower at present.

And these Hongyi cannons are very bulky, several times heavier than the cannons of the sea wolf, a Hongyi cannon that looks like the caliber of their mountain howitzer, the weight is also as high as more than two thousand catties, although it can hit far, but in mobile combat, it is useless at all, especially in the encounter, the officers and soldiers do not even have the opportunity to deploy these cannons.

So compared to artillery, there is nothing that can meet their needs better than the wolf tooth rifle, so when Yu Xiaotian ordered the production of the wolf tooth rifle at full speed and equipped it to the army, these army officers were happy to grin at once, and no longer complained in private, thinking that they had fewer cannons.

In addition to the gunwork, gunsmithing, ammunition factory, and gunpowder workshop in full capacity production in the past few months, the other two shipyards have also been frantically engaged in shipbuilding work.

Since Yu Xiaotian "guided" them to adopt standardized production, the shipbuilding speed of Tamsui Chuanliao has been greatly improved, and a large number of craftsmen are no longer waiting to work on the ship, but in the various workshops of Chuanliao, the standardized parts are directly produced, and they are continuously directly used on the slipway.

And under the "care" of Xiaotian, they have long been accustomed to strictly controlling the tolerances of parts, although the craftsmen of this era have how to build ships in their minds, but the concept of tolerances is seriously lacking, at the beginning, they produced parts on the ship, the tolerances are quite large.

In order to carry out standardized production, it is necessary to unify the measuring tools, which Yu Xiaotian has done a long time ago, and has specially made some general standard rulers, so that each workshop can use the standard ruler as their production basis, and also made a simple micrometer.

However, the craftsmen of the shipyard do not seem to be very good at this kind of manufacturing parts according to fixed sizes and shapes, although there are these standardized measuring tools, but the first batch of parts they produced, but still do not meet the requirements, and even the tolerance is outrageous, Yu Xiaotian repeatedly asked for it, and Yu Xiaotian was half dead.

Later, Yu Xiaotian had no choice but to use the method of general rules to solve this problem.

In fact, the pass stop gauge is a fixed special mold for inspecting parts, which has long been popularized and used in the production of guns and guns and ammunition factories.

In particular, when the gun and ammunition factory initially began to divide labor, each craftsman was only responsible for the production of one or two parts, and the tolerances of the manufactured parts were too large.

So in desperation, Yu Xiaotian implemented the general rules in those workshops, specifically according to the standard parts of the sample, each kind of part, have made a standard mold, the craftsman in the production of parts, only need to put the parts in the mold, if you can't put it in is the part is big, if you put it in easily, it means that the part is small, it must be tightly fitted in the mold, so that the part is basically qualified.

After using this method, the problem of too large production tolerances of gun parts can be completely solved, and the parts manufactured by craftsmen must be tested and qualified by the general stop regulations before they can be delivered to the assembly process, so that all parts are made of a mold, without any difference, and the tolerances are also controlled within the minimum range, which produces qualified guns.

The same is true for ammunition, the first cast shells and projectiles also have the problem of too large tolerances, and it is also through the method of passing and stopping that this problem is finally solved.

Now the shipyard here, can only use this method to solve the problem of too large tolerance of ship parts, first make a mold for each kind of parts, and then when the craftsman produces the same parts, the parts must be fit in the mold tightly, to be qualified.

In this way, the standardized production of the shipyard is officially on track, and once the craftsmen learn to use this method to control the tolerances of the parts, the quality of the parts produced is quite good.

All kinds of standard parts are continuously manufactured from the shed, and then continuously sent to the slipway to assemble on the ship, including the openings have been done in advance, the mortise and tenon structure is exactly the same, and only a very small amount of correction is required to install it in place.

It turned out that when the workers of the shipyard used the old method to build one by one, even if they worked overtime all night, it would take at least three to four months, and maybe even five or six months.

But after the apocalypse began to adopt the standardized production process in the sixth year, the shipyard used a slipway to speed up the construction of two ships at the same time, so that the construction speed of the Feizi clipper has been greatly improved, after entering June, the first batch of Feizi clippers using standardized production began to be launched, and then every month the freshwater Chuanliao has to launch two Feizi clippers, and at the end of September, the freshwater Chuanliao launched a total of nine Feizi clippers.

This made the number of Seawolf's flying clippers exceed 20 and reached as many as 23, forming a certain scale, so that Seawolf also obtained a relatively abundant and controllable force for rapid combat in the offshore sea.

According to the shipbuilding speed of Freshwater, by the end of the year, seven to nine more Flying Clippers will be built, making the number of Flying Clippers of the Seawolf a new level, such a light and fast fleet with considerable firepower, no matter for any enemy, will be a nightmare.

At the end of September, the Spaniards sent a man from Manila, but instead of sending a ship, they arrived on a Chinese merchant ship bound for Manila.

The Spaniard, Blanco, was a Spanish merchant in Manila and a member of the Manila Parliament, and this time he was entrusted by the Spanish Governor in the Philippines to act as a Spanish envoy to negotiate with the Sea Wolves to resolve the conflict between the two sides in the area of Chicken Coop Bay.

Blanco was in his thirties, had a beautiful mustache, and was well dressed, and was a pretty Spanish man, quite a gentleman.

Yu Xiaotian met the Spanish envoy in his front study and asked him to be taken to the front study.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Blanco, a member of the Council of the Kingdom of Spain in Manila, has come to pay a visit to Your Excellency the Chief, on the orders of our Governor-General!" Blanco stood in front of Yu Xiaotian, pretending to be as calm as possible, and said to Xiaotian.

On the way here, he was a little uneasy in his heart, because he didn't know what kind of attitude the Chinese pirate leader he was about to meet would have.

He had the impression that the leaders of these Chinese pirates were dirty, rude, cunning and ferocious, and loved to kill, and seemed to regard killing or abusing people as a kind of enjoyment, and he was ordered to negotiate with the sea wolves this time, and he did not know what fate awaited him.

But he had to come, because if he didn't come, he would have no place in Manila in the future, and he had business to do, and if he didn't agree to Shierwa coming to negotiate with the sea wolf, then his business would not be able to continue.

So he could only agree to it, and boarded a cargo ship that they thought was relatively sturdy Chinese maritime merchants, and came to Nanri Island, and the boat he took on this way took him for more than a month before sending him to Nanri Island.

It turned out that he hoped that Shi Erwa would send him a boat to send him over, but this request was flatly rejected by Shi Erva, because Shi Erwa was worried that if he rashly sent a boat to Nanri Island without knowing the attitude of the sea wolf, it was likely that the boat would not be able to return.

So only one Chinese merchant ship was commissioned to send Blanco to Nanri Island, so as not to cause further losses.

(I've been a little dizzy in the past two days, and I forgot to thank Brother GZG1972 for the tip!) Thank you, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward! Hehe, thank you for the cold wind! In addition, I wish the big guys a happy Dragon Boat Festival! ）
