What is the best thing in the world that can sell people's hearts or cohesion? Maybe it's money, maybe it's an official position, maybe it's beauty, maybe it's food...... The answers vary, but for Ding Yi, he only believes that doing three things well is enough. Therefore, the more than 500 personal guards, because they are adults, will be countless times stricter than the teenagers of the academy, and the consequences of violating discipline will be countless times more severe than that of the academy students. They feared Ding Yi more than anything else.

Then, after these 500 soldiers received the brocade guards who were not deducted, they also received an allowance twice as much as the salary. At the beginning of each month, one person takes turns to receive it, and Ding Yi personally distributes it, and when he receives the money, he says, "Take Mr.'s money and fight for the Ming Dynasty!" In private, under Liu Tie's intentional guidance, he has already become "take Mr.'s money and work for Mr.!" ”

And Liu Tie, Du Ziteng, and even those disciples of the security yamen in various places are the hope of these five hundred sergeants. Being an official is an ideal that most people in China have never changed for thousands of years, and as long as they work hard under Mr., the military families who are bitter and hard can also come out to be officials, and this hope is enough for them to grit their teeth and survive in the devilish training.

As for the fifty personal guards given to Ding Yi by Emperor Jing for the first time, they had all left a week after starting training. Whether it was disability or self-harm caused by training, it was enough for Ding Yi to have a reason to send them away, in fact, Ding Yi was full of malice towards these fifty personal guards who were not selected by him and were forced by Lu Zhong's side.

Otherwise, it can't be explained that after he demonstrated the triangular support of rock climbing, he asked the fifty guards that they would practice first, and after they had practiced, they could go to demonstrate to the five hundred sergeants, but they deliberately did not mention the safety rope and let them climb the rock with their bare hands, just like themselves.

It's just that subject. One of the guards fell to his death, three were disabled, and seven or eight were fractured.

In this case, those who have a little brain know that they are not suitable to stay in this place, and they should know what to do. The fifty guards were sparse in their skills, but they were extremely professional in their eyes, so they quickly left for various reasons.

In the three months since Ding Yi returned to Rongcheng, he has been busy, full and low-key.

More importantly. He figured out nitroglycerin. Although it is not yet possible to mass produce and is only generated under laboratory conditions, it is a huge leap for Ding Yi. The rest is to break down the process steps. Only then will mass production be able to begin.

However, what made Ding Yi cry and laugh was the fire-watching master introduced by Qian Zhixian and the craftsman invited by Liu Tie with money. They actually made steel! That's right. It's steel. Moreover, it is also the steel obtained by several technological means, one is a crucible steel similar to Tianzhu; After smelting a large piece of pig iron, smashing and selecting the appropriate part of it, and forging it repeatedly, it is said to be the hundred steel refining method of the Tang method to exercise the horizontal knife, and Ding Yi looks similar to the so-called jade steel knife in modern Japan.

The question is. Every time the crucible steel comes out, it's the size of a modern coin......

And the so-called Tang knife secret method, such a cost and scrap rate are too terrible.

Of course, there are traditional methods such as frying steel and filling steel to get samples, but for the steel on the market. There is no price advantage and no production advantage - this era is all done, the scrap rate is so high, it is so expensive, no, it costs more money than the market, because these processes are not very thorough for the craftsmen themselves who were invited by Liu Tie, really great craftsmen, where is Liu Tie invited? So it became Ding Yi to provide raw materials for free and give these craftsmen process experiments.

Ding Yi decisively stopped the idea of making steel, this thing seems to be unlikely to be achieved through a small-scale workshop, even if it is an assembly line workshop, of course, if there is enough silver to lose, then it is naturally possible, but Ding Yi is not a scientific researcher, he is more concerned about the issue of practicality.

"It's still a reliable master from Wang Gong's factory!" Ding Yi sighed in frustration, after all, it was the Ming Dynasty, the craftsman of Wang Gong Factory, even if it was an engineer, it was a bit of a rigid job, but the Daming special mechanical mechanic was absolutely fine. The only thing that has been effective is the result of the efforts of the craftsmen of Wang Gong's factory in Ding Yi Lane when this batch of Wang Zhen was in power. Ding Yi took a grenade equipped with a spontaneous fire delay fuse, and asked Li Jiangtou, "What is the dumb fire rate?" ”

"Twenty percent." Li Jiangtou scratched his unkempt hair, thought about it and said, "Give me another month, you should be able to press it." By the way, if you make more and the children are more skilled, it may be even lower...... "This dumb fire rate is actually not high for this era, and even it is many times better than the border manufacturing in the Anti-Japanese War era, of course, the output is also much lower.

Ding Yi didn't speak, in fact, he knew that as long as he put forward an idea, the output should be greatly improved, and the process would also reduce many requirements, that is, don't care about prefabricated fragments, how many pieces can be blown up, and the border area is not one or two pieces?

But he didn't bring it up in the end.

The production of wooden handle grenades is very simple, at least Ding Yi knows that there is a period in modern times, when the militia was trained for a while, there was a period of "seven people on the back" of simple equipment, that is, from the iron furnace to the casting mold, and then to the lathe of the wooden handle, all the equipment can be carried away and transferred by only seven people, and all the production tasks can be completed by seven people. If you use non-granular black powder, you can really produce it at any time.

But to engage in such a thing, what kind of civil fort does Ding go through? Or do you desperately do something? It is right to launch a great tide of people's war, unite all the forces that can be united, such as the White Lotus Sect, a group that has been in rebellion for hundreds of years, and a peasant rebel army like Huang Xiaoyang and Wei Xianglie, and then carry out rent and tax resistance......

Ding Yi didn't plan to do such an uncertain thing, nor did he plan to use countless lives and blood to pave a road that he didn't know if he could finish. A good sniper does not need blood, does not need ambition, he only needs to complete the combat objective 100%, and this is enough.

"Okay, Craftsman Li, you have to keep the dumb fire rate below 10% for Lasso to get angry, even if you get it. The reward will be sent to you as soon as possible! Ding Yi smiled and patted Craftsman Li's shoulder, "You have to be tighter, Sister-in-law Li has received a reward of fifty taels of silver." ”

Li Jiangtou was a little embarrassed, scratching his hair that was getting messier and messier, and muttered: "What is the matter with her woman's family?" Let's make this one that can kill the enemy......" Ding Yi stopped teasing him, laughed and left the workshop. Li Jiangtou's wife is a capable person, since Ding Yi taught them a group of craftsmen's family members, horizontal glass making method, under the leadership of Sister-in-law Li, they will soon be able to make large pieces of flat glass.

And what surprised Ding Yi even more was still to come, because of nitric acid and caustic soda, so when chatting with Li Jiangtou, he casually said the experimental steps of the silver mirror reaction, and he didn't expect that Li Sister-in-law wrote it down word for word, and later asked for details a few times, Ding Yi didn't think it was strange and told her, because there is no glucose, there is no aldehyde group that can be used as a reducing agent, and Ding Yi plans to get glucose out and then toss the silver mirror reaction.

Unexpectedly, she actually made it up by herself, and after a few days, she came to tell Ding Yi: "Sir, grapes are useless." She didn't know where to get a few raisins, which she hadn't seen before, and then crushed those raisins and soaked them in water for experiments.

Ding Yi didn't care about her, after all, she had the strength to drive the other people in the factory.

Who knew that on this day, Sister-in-law Li dragged Li Craftsman's head and came over to show off with a glass tube that had a silver mirror reaction! And told Ding Yi: "Mr. is wrong, it's not glucose, it's the sweetest caramel candy!" It turned out that she didn't know what glucose was, but she felt that the raisins were crushed, so she changed to another kind of sugar, caramel sugar, sucrose, rock sugar all tried one by one, and then tried the sweetest caramel that is, maltose, and finally got the aldehyde group that acts as a reducing agent. [In addition to honey, there are two main types of sugar eaten in ancient China: one is starch hydrolyzed caramel sugar, in which the sweet component is maltose; The other type is sucrose processed from sugarcane juice. 】

Ding Yi was almost frightened and fainted on the spot, this is an ancient woman with the most elementary education, and she relied on listening to the experimental process of the silver mirror reaction that she casually said, and asked a few details - it turned out that she went to blow the glass test tube by herself, tried everything, synthesized silver nitrate, and looked for the aldehyde group that acted as a reducing agent - she didn't understand the principle of this reaction at all, and she didn't let nitric acid poison her to death in the experiment!

Thinking about the ancients who invented the repeating pistol earlier than the West and were not taken seriously, Ding Yi had to admit that the status of a real craftsman was too low, otherwise, Huaxia would not be without genius, at least the sister-in-law of the Li family was definitely talented, at least much stronger than Ding.

"Craftsman Li, this, I have to say, my sister-in-law is much more interested than you." Ding Yi waved his hand at Liu Tie with a wry smile, the latter is still extremely conscientious, and the tray in his hand has already prepared the rewarded silver taels, Ding Yi took it and handed it to Sister-in-law Li, but said to Craftsman Li, "Or, let Sister-in-law Li help you think of ideas to see if you can reduce the dumb fire rate?" ”

As soon as he said this, Craftsman Li was not happy, and as soon as his temperament came up, he didn't pay attention to Ding Yi's fame all over the world, and he rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What does she know?" Mr! What kind of silver is this woman worth for these things? He scolded Sister-in-law Li again, "You mother-in-law just owe a lesson!" Mr. Greedy's Silver Two! We're going to get a ...... that can go into battle and kill the enemy."

Ding Yi persuaded him to stop Li Gongtou, but it was obvious that Li Jiangtou was still very unhappy that his mother-in-law had been rewarded repeatedly, and his own stall work did not progress, and he didn't even return home, so he went straight to the factory when he left Ding's mansion.

Ding Yi let out a long breath: Finally, there can be income. (To be continued......)
