Chapter 185 Good news spreads frequently

After Sun Yuanhua was recognized by Chen Xie, he danced happily. This is the sorrow of technocrats! Although he is an official, he is still a technician at heart, and because of this, he will face Kong Youde's rebellion without any preparation, and as a result, Geng Zhongming, who should be inside, opened the city gate, and broke Dengzhou inside. In contrast, the city wall is not Dengzhou, but the tall Laizhou has held on and won the reputation of "Laizhou of iron". And the strong Dengzhou and a large number of artillery, because of Sun Yuanhua's lack of personal command ability, became the "Dengzhou of paper paste".

Sun Yuanhua is determined to continue to specialize in cannon casting technology, isn't it a steel cannon? Hmph, it's hard for me!

The bad guy Chen Xie also pretended to be a good person, and took Sun Yuanhua back to the city alive and dead, and let him rest. Sun Yuanhua still has to try to run, Chen Xie said to try again tomorrow, and I will arrange it. Sun Yuanhua went back satisfied, the technology of Tiefan casting cannons, in Sun Yuanhua's opinion, is really amazing. Casting cannons in this way greatly increases the speed. In the past, it took a month to make a clay model for casting guns, and it was necessary to carefully check whether there was trachoma. Now, this process can be omitted, and the superiority of Tiefan can not worry about the problem of trachoma.

Early the next morning, Sun Yuanhua went to find Chen Xie and asked him to test the gun together. Chen Xie was defeated by this guy's enthusiasm, and was forced to give up the plan to sleep lazy, got up in a gloomy manner, and freshened his hair out, Sun Yuanhua was not polite at all, and asked the Chen family's cook to make breakfast, and he was eating happily.

"Sihua, you (canned) fish are good. Send me a little later. "I have to think about taking this product after eating it, if you want to say that this canned fish, Chen Xie doesn't like to eat it very much, and it has no nutrition. But I can't stand this thing with a lot of oil, and in the era of lack of oil and water in the Ming Dynasty, it was really popular. These subordinates of the Chen family take this as a treasure, and they are willing to take out one when they come.

"Lord Zhongcheng likes to eat, why didn't you say it earlier. Xiaosheng, you remember when you look back. Send a box to the governor's yamen. Chen Xie explained. Sun Yuanhua swallowed the last mouthful of millet porridge and made up for it: "Two boxes, I'll give some away." ”

I came out with breakfast, and the gun carriage at the door was waiting there. There is nothing to say about the craftsmanship of the craftsmen. Ammunition cart with two small wheels. Two gun racks hung upward. This is a four-wheeled carriage, with two horses, pulling the end of the ammunition cart. Easy to pull and go. Chen Xie deliberately rode a horse to travel, Sun Yuanhua is also a good horseback rider, when the two rode and followed the gun carriage, Chen Xie still saw a little problem, sighed: "It's still a matter of weight, it's okay to walk on this road, on the dirt road, it's still a bit difficult for two horses to pull a horse, and you have to have a spare horse to ensure a long march." ”

Sun Yuanhua is also an expert, so he naturally saw it, nodded and said, "Sihua, how did you make that kind of steel cannon?" ”

Chen Xie is so bad, of course he won't tell the truth, he shook his head and said: "This is the most important weapon of the Chinese country in the Americas, and it would be good to sell it to me." How can you tell the casting technology? As far as I know, the key to the American cannon is the texture of the steel. ”

Sun Yuanhua deeply believes that in terms of casting technology, the current iron fan casting cannon is close to perfection. It is difficult to make any improvements, unless he can produce the same technology as modern society. For Sun Yuanhua, this is a pit that Chen Xie dug that can never be climbed. Replaced by ordinary people, now this cannon is very satisfied, be smarter, pig iron can't be made, let's go bronze. Sun Yuanhua can't do it, this thing thinks very highly of himself, and thinks that he will definitely be able to make the same cannon.

Chen Xie will not reach out and pull him up, this goods will never get up if they fall into the pit. If you are a good technical nerd, you will be good at your technology, what kind of official will you be. In this way, under the drive of Sun Yuanhua, the technology of Dengzhou iron and steel production will have a qualitative leap. This is the main purpose of Chen Xie's digging pit.

The seaside shooting range soon arrived, and the six craftsmen removed the gun and opened the stand. Charge, load, tamping, and ready, Sun Yuanhua ordered a little nervously: "Open the gun!" "With a bang, the smoke rose from the iron cannon, and as soon as the iron projectile flew out, the flying projectile could be seen clearly, and the approximate range of the fire these old guys could see it at a glance.

"The rising water column is about 12300 meters!" Sun Yuanhua consciously reported the number with some regret, and Chen Xie said with an expression of "I support you": "Compared with the previous cannon, it is already much stronger." At that time, how could you have imagined that this cannon could march with two horses and not fall behind? Sun Yuanhua thought about it too, and immediately became happy. It can't be compared with the American cannon, it can be compared with the past.

"Sihua, I think that once there are more of these cannons, they can be of great use against Houjin. Why don't you cast a batch first? Sun Yuanhua wanted to build it, but Chen Xie agreed. He now has a little silver, but he doesn't have high-quality pig iron and skilled craftsmen. As before, the cannon made is often two thousand and hundreds of catties, and Sun Yuanhua can really cry to death in the toilet.

"This is not in a hurry, since you have mastered the main gun technology of Tiefan, you really want to build it quickly, it is better to work steel. If I can train good steel, I can also save money on buying guns. You have also seen that when you invest so much money in this iron factory, don't you just want to cast your own cannons? Chen Xie is still reasonable, and Sun Yuanhua can't refute it. Because this is indeed the truth, but I don't know that according to this truth, I will never look at it too much.

"Again, let's see how many shots we can get without blowing up." Sun Yuanhua's enthusiasm for continuing to test the cannon was very high, this new iron cannon, coupled with Chen Xie's fixed charge, the firing speed can reach the appearance of two cannons in one minute. Truth be told, it's already quite remarkable. Slightly increase the amount of charge, it can completely hit a distance of 1,500 meters, with this distance, supplemented by the cover of the plate armor spear array, the absolute effect of gold after the fight is very good.

The quality of this cannon is not a problem at all, and the quality of the pig iron produced has been greatly improved after the use of desulfurization and phosphorus removal technology. This also ensured the toughness and hardness of the iron cannon, the barrels were red, and the ammunition brought was finished and there was no sign of exploding. Sun Yuanhua checked it more than a dozen times, but found no cracks, so he was satisfied.

Chen Xie's attitude towards this guy's work is really admired. If you were yourself, you wouldn't have checked so closely. Leave this kind of trivial matter to the craftsman. Aren't big people supposed to watch others work with their backs?

Chen Xie was more concerned about whether those craftsmen and young apprentices had mastered the art of iron fan casting cannons. However, even if you don't master it, it's not a big problem, and with such a detailed record of steps and numbers, it's easy to learn.

Sun Yuanhua did not immediately continue his journey of casting cannons, but returned to Dengzhou City. When I went back yesterday, I found that a lot of official documents had not been processed. As a governor, he is so unprofessional, and he is keen on casting cannons and building cities, compared to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who is keen on carpenter's work. Sun Yuanhua wanted to go back to deal with official documents, and Chen Xie finally relaxed, and he didn't have to waste time wandering around with the leader.

After sending Sun Yuanhua away, Chen Xie turned around and returned to the iron factory, called several major craftsmen, and asked for details, which was reassuring. Sun Yuanhua is actually on the spot, that is, he is guiding, and it is those craftsmen who really do things. Chen Xie told these craftsmen not to sue Sun Yuanhua, and to make a few more iron models in private. And there will also be a trial production of a larger caliber 12-pounder gun, and the samples are all ready-made. These craftsmen said that they would find another place to quietly get it, and promised that Sun Yuanhua would not find out.

It's May, and the winter wheat harvest season is here again. This year's Jiaodong Peninsula, although it is also a bit dry, is not too strict. In several counties under the rule of Dengzhou, it is inevitable that grain production will be reduced, but because of the use of Chen Xie's seeds, the yield of wheat that should be reduced is actually maintained at about 350 catties per mu. Compared with the good weather in previous years, the production has increased in the disaster year. This caused a huge sensation, spread throughout Denglai's rule, and even spread to Jinan.

The farmers and landlords near Dengzhou are very calm. The yield of this seed was known last year, and this year it is rightfully deserved. In particular, the land under Chen Xie's name has a higher yield. Mr. Chen taught everyone how to compost, drilled wells for everyone, and adopted new irrigation techniques, which had no impact on the drought at all.

Every household happily harvested it, and after calculating the results, the average yield of wheat per mu was more than 500 catties. In this way, Chen Xie still shook his head dissatisfied. After the summer harvest, at the summer harvest meeting at home at the end of June, he said to his family very helplessly: "The yield is still low, and it won't work without chemical fertilizer." ”

Yuzhu, who was calculating how much grain was in storage, suddenly went out with his chest covered, lying on the ground and vomiting. Xiao Xuan, who was surprised to study with Yuzhu, hurriedly went over and patted her back. Seeing this, Chen Xie looked puzzled, and then said with a little surprise: "Go and invite Dr. Liu to come, the slippery pulse of traditional Chinese medicine is very accurate." ”

Liu Gaoming took advantage of the darkness to arrive in Zhangjiazhuang, with a mixed Yuzhu on his face, and nervously stretched out his hand to let him take the pulse. Liu Gaoming habitually twisted his beard and squinted his eyes to check the pulse. After finishing the matter, Liu Gaoming stood up and solemnly bowed his hand to Chen Xie: "Congratulations to the owner, Aunt Gu's pulse is very clear, it's a happy pulse!" ”

Hearing this, Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and then her body softened, and tears fell.

Chen Xie has always had a worry that this time travel will affect his fertility. Now it seems that this matter is purely superfluous worry, and he waved his hand excitedly: "Okay! Good! Good! Reward, reward! ”

In this era, it is a very important thing to have offspring, and Master Chen has been sowing seeds for so long, and there is finally a movement. This shows that as long as a few more plots of land are opened, the continuation of future generations can be guaranteed. As for women, how much silver is a female baby in the Ming Dynasty?
