Chapter 86: Passing on the Torch

[Thank you for the tip!] It's going to be a long holiday on 10.1, I wish you all a happy holiday! 】

The summer in Datong is definitely not hot for people from Jiangnan, except for some dry feelings.

In the midst of the heat, with the participation of countless people, steelmaking kilns and coal kilns began to be built at the northernmost part of the workshop at the fastest speed.

Zhou Huchen looked at the kiln being built day by day, looked at the busy people coming and going, and kept people joining the team, everything was like a dream. Maybe it's really the "Command Flag" that is working, and this feeling of gradually becoming stronger is so unreal that Zhou Huchen sighed.

"Young master, a craftsman has come to you."

It was a family member who came, and it seemed that the craftsman had something to do with Zhou Huchen: "Let him go to my office!" ”

The craftsman who came to find Zhou Huchen was in his thirties, with ordinary appearance and ordinary height, Zhou Huchen had no impression of him.

"The villain's surname is Zhou Mingmo, the word Jinglan, a native of Suzhou, is the head of these artillery craftsmen."

This Zhou Mo is very different from other craftsmen, and there are even table words, Zhou Huchen also saw his arrogance, because this Zhou Mo did not kneel directly, when Zhou Huchen signaled that he did not have to kneel, this Zhou Mo quickly got up and bowed.

has a lot of personality, Zhou Huchen likes such people: "Zhou Jiangshou is still the same sect, come, you're welcome, sit!" ”

"The villain's tutor is Mr. Changzhou Zijue."

is very straightforward, but unfortunately, Zhou Huchen really doesn't know who Mr. Changzhou Zijue is, he should be very famous, he quietly watched Zhou Mo and continued to wait for the following.

"The family teacher's surname is Bo Mingjue, the word Zijue, and Mr. Zijue, who used to accompany Zhang Dasima to help Anqing, and all the newly cast artillery on the front line of Anqing was handled by the family teacher."

Zhou Huchen understood, this Zhou Mo's teacher was Zhang Guowei's old subordinate, and that Bo Jue should be Zhang Guowei's most powerful gunsmith.

Seeing Zhou Huchen nodding, Zhou Mo continued: "The family teacher is a scholar, and after repeated failures, he decided to change his studies to celestial phenomena, mathematics and mechanical manufacturing. He is also the author of books such as "The Delusion of Asking the Heavens to Tilt the Northwest", "The Diagram of the Armillary Sphere", "The Law of Measuring the Heavens on the Sea", "The Colorless Discrimination of Celestial Bodies", "The Distinction of the Heavenly Shape from the North to the South", "The Theory of Guarding the Heart", "The Theory of Geodesy of Things" and so on. ”

This is an absolute college scholar! Bo Jue is much stronger than those so-called scribes who are eight buckets high!

Zhou Huchen stood up: "Where is Mr. Zijue?" ”

"I'm afraid my time is running out! In the past, Zhang Dasima invited the family teacher to Beijing, but Mr. Zhang didn't know that the family teacher was unable to go to Beijing at that time, but he didn't tell Mr. Zhang the reason. ”

Zhou Mo began to choke, obviously, this Bo Jue has been on the sickbed for a long time, and it is estimated that he is now terminally ill.

"The villain knows that Zhou Shuai and Mr. Zhang are inextricably linked, and he also knows that the artillery in the army is unusable. Nanjing's Mr. Liu had dealings with the villain, and the villain learned that the young marshal was recruiting firearms craftsmen in Nanjing, and it happened that the villain was visiting friends in Nanjing, so he recommended himself to come to Datong with the young marshal. The villain thinks that what he has learned may not be as good as Mr. One or two, but the villain is willing to inherit the mantle of the family teacher, and is willing to be the young marshal, for Zhou Shuai, and for me to be effective! ”

Zhou Huchen completely understood, weishenme, this Zhou Mo was proud, he didn't come for money, not for fame, just for that persistence.

"Dare to ask Brother Zhou to teach me!"

Such a person deserves respect, and this is the first time that Zhou Huchen has given a deep, respectful and respectful salute to a person with such a low status.

"The young marshal has killed the villain!" The tears in Zhou Mo's eyes finally fell.

This may be the most correct choice in his life, such a corporal of courtesy, a military general who dares to build such a huge firearms workshop, this is the only one, and it is definitely worthy of his service.

Both of them were a little excited, Zhou Mo could be regarded as having found his own value and destiny, and Zhou Huchen really got a cannon casting talent

Finally, the two calmed down, and since they came specifically to cast their effects, they naturally began to talk about the matter of casting cannons.

Zhou Huchen really doesn't know much about artillery, his dream is to gallop the world, the artillery of this era is too bulky in his impression, inconvenient to move, the utilization rate is very low, and only when defending, it has some power. Therefore, Zhou Huchen did not attach much importance to artillery, and of course, he did not have such talents.

The defects of the artillery are a fact, and Zhou Mo also did not deny these shortcomings, in order to attract Zhou Huchen's attention, he began to teach Zhou Huchen a lesson.

"The defects of cast iron artillery are very obvious, there are many sand holes, and the pores are large; The biggest advantage of copper is that it has very good extensibility, low melting point, and less danger of exploding.

The general life of cast iron artillery is five or six hundred shots, and copper cannons can reach about 1,000 times, and the life span is almost twice that of cast iron cannons, so copper should be used for cast cannons.

If it is to defend the city or defend the pass, this bronze cannon will fully show its power, not only lighter than the iron cannon on some favorable adjustments, heat dissipation is also fast, but also not easy to explode, this is a great advantage, the only defect is that copper is much higher than iron cost. ”

Zhou Huchen nodded and acknowledged these views of Zhou Mo, and he sighed with some emotion: "Our steelmaking workshop is about to start, if we can use steel to cast the cannon, how good it is, it will almost never explode, it will be lighter, and there is no need to worry about the cannon overheating." ”

Zhou Mo was silent for a moment and then took over: "Young marshal, steel can't cast cannons, as for the fighting, it's even more difficult, it's too hard." It is too expensive to cast steel cannons, and you can choose to use fine iron, but unfortunately, fine iron is not only more difficult to cast, but also far more expensive than copper. ”

"Wait, wait, wait" Zhou Huchen suddenly remembered something: "Copper, steel, copper and steel!" I remember!!! Zhou Huchen almost didn't jump.

looked at Zhou Huchen who was stunned, and Zhou Mojing waited for the following.

"Copper and steel!! That's it!!! Zhou Huchen became more and more excited: "There is no problem, Zhou Jiangtou, you can take a look!" When our steelmaking workshop is on the right track, you will see and be in for a big surprise! This surprise will make you famous all over the world! It will make this shijie tremble in front of the artillery you have made, and it will wipe out our enemies within the range of our artillery! ”

Zhou Mo was speechless, he didn't seem to have such a big volunteer, and he was already satisfied if he could fulfill the teacher's wish.

"Don't believe it?!" Zhou Huchen was unrelenting: "Do you believe that knowledge is liliang?" This innovation will be unprecedented and unprecedented! (Of course, there are no latecomers, they have been plagiarized, how can there be latecomers, only the blue is better than the blue.) )

"I believe it! I believe! The family teacher also said something similar, it seems to be called a lot of skills without pressing! Zhou Mo nodded frequently in a hurry, and his answer was a little wrong.

All right! Believe it or not! The knowledge that can be recalled and inadvertently obtained by Zhou Huchen is enough to be proud of this shijie!

Therefore, Zhou Huchen was so excited that he almost looked up to the sky and roared, he had already found the starting point of his artillery and found the rhythm of that pulse.
