Marriage was a very important activity between the noble families of the empire. The degree of importance is second only to the family's fulfillment of the imperial duties.

It can be said that there are inextricable kinship ties between the old families of the empire. And this connection constitutes the discourse channel for cooperation between the various groups of the empire.

Binghe also thought that one day he would encounter the arrangement of a family marriage. But now when he really encountered this topic, Binghe felt that everything was too fast.

In the face of Hangcong's inquiry, Binghe only had one sentence in his mind: "I'm still a child at my age"

Binghe was dumbfounded, unable to answer. Let Hangcong keep the smile of his seniors who are a few years older.

He said, "Next month, the Mechanics Academy will hold a trial on the waterfront, and the Wave Wheel family is looking forward to seeing you. ”

After talking about a few other topics, Hangcong got up, and after a set of farewell etiquette was in place, he left.

#

When the voyage is from after departure.

Binghe went to Mentor Sugett's office and confirmed that next month's assessment existed.

Why? The trial in the lower grades in the early winter was a game between the imperial military and the royal family, and this game led to a large number of junior students failing to pass, well, mainly a series of noble children such as Case did not pass. If they were all wealthy businessmen and small noble disciples who didn't pass, they wouldn't have specially arranged this make-up exam. Because of the appeasement of these aristocratic students, the Mechanical Academy felt the need to conduct a make-up exam.

As for the difficulty of this make-up trial, it will be reduced, and it may focus on the field of marine steam.

The reason for the decrease in difficulty is that the scoring of this make-up exam is within the School of Mechanical Engineering, which is completely arranged by the School of Mechanical Engineering, and there is room for operation in the scoring. In the assessment at the beginning of the year, the instructors of the School of Mechanical Engineering couldn't get their hands into it at all.

The reason for the focus on the field of marine steam: the assessment is carried out on the territory of the Wave Wheel family, and among the candidates who did not pass last time was Keith. So who is this assessment taking care of? This is obvious.

#

Of course, the Bolun family did a good job of conforming to the rules of mutual communication between nobles. On the surface, the rules of the school are that it is not allowed, the time of the trial cannot be revealed, and it is not allowed to reveal anything related to the exam questions. But the rules set by the nobles do not bind themselves.

Note: There is another small reason why Hangcong took the initiative to inform Binghe, which is that he is afraid of Binghe's ability to smash the field. Hangcong obviously hinted that Binghe could team up with Keys in this assessment. And let the nobles who did not pass the assessment last time pass this assessment.

Because of the unwritten rules of the assessment of the Machinery Academy, the children sent by the great nobles have passed the assessment first, and they will be taken care of in this assessment. There are really incompetent noble disciples, and the big family generally won't send them over. He will not let him live in the academy, but will automatically drop out of school and be assigned to serve in the army during his studies.

In the assessment at the beginning of the year, Binghe let the twenty-six students with no background pass the assessment, which is an accident in the assessment of the Imperial Machinery Academy.

For this assessment arranged by the Bolun family, Binghe is quite in favor, after all, Liyun's little girl also has to pass the assessment. - If only a year ago, Binghe wished she had failed the course, and then gloated on the sidelines. Now I have to worry about it.

#

Binghe stood up. Start summarizing the useful information you get in your notebook.

1: There will be a seaside practice next week, which is driven within the college.

2: Binghe and Liyun were sent to the imperial capital by gunfire, and they undertook part of the family marriage task. But now the situation has changed.

Originally, the main dish of political marriage was Liyun. The boy of which family Liyun marries is related to the relationship between the Gun Flame family and that family is further. Binghe, on the other hand, is a secondary connection, and there is no problem with Binghe marrying a girl from a small aristocratic family

But now, with Binghe's ability in the Imperial Capital Mechanical Academy showing very prominent, as the Gun Flame family can play a card in foreign exchanges, the marriage that Binghe wants can't be so casual, at least it's impossible to marry a small nobleman.

What, you said that your uncle married a niece, that's right, this kind of thing that challenges ethics does exist in the upper echelons of the Western Continent. But that is the ability of the top family royal family to consolidate power and not let outsiders interfere with power as foreign relatives.

Gun Flame is an aristocratic family that needs a wide range of allies politically. In addition to some necessary marriages, a large number of marriages were associated with various nobles in the imperial capital.

After walking out of Mentor Sugett's office, Binghe held his notebook, recorded the information he could summarize, and looked up at the rotating star sculpture on the Imperial Capital Celestial Tower. He exhaled and sighed: "This world is complicated, complicated. ”

#

The interests of the family, the invisible net, cannot be shaken now. However, compared to last year, the power that Binghe can influence in this world has increased exponentially.

Six days later,

In the area of the affiliated factory outside the imperial capital city, that is, the factory that is assessed by the core. Now a huge chimney has been erected in this plant, and a series of coal-chemical reactors have been erected here. This production is very reminiscent of the pollution of the early days of the Earth's industrial revolution. The scene when mankind has just entered the age of the steel industry. If this kind of equipment were to be started without the aid of any magic, on Earth in the twentieth century, the factory would be blocked by angry residents the next day. The amount of waste gas and wastewater can cause the environmental protection department to issue sky-high fines.

In the 21st century, large-scale chemical equipment is developing in the direction of large-scale zero pollution. It can be opened in the vicinity of the tourist city garden city (Singapore's pillar industries include chemicals. However, under the technical conditions at this time, the nuclear core can only minimize emissions.

#

Walking into the factory area, the factory area here is very neat and clean compared to a few months ago, all the machinery is no longer dusty, and there is no debris on the ground.

The workers' clothes were renewed. Of course, the factory has renovated the dormitory, installed a shower system, and built a canteen. While enhancing management, matching work benefits to workers is a must.

The workers are neatly dressed, eat regularly, and have a healthy and organized schedule. This is the premise of modern plant management.

Only a sterile, dust-free and precise factory workshop can produce high-quality and high-precision products.

And as an essential part of the operation of the factory, the workers' lives are stable and the mentality is stable. In order to enable the personnel of all aspects of the factory to be able to comply with the regulations and produce safely on a large scale.

#

After Binghe undertook the order of Khajit.

Binghe applied for contracting this factory above, well, to Binghe's surprise, his application was very smooth. After paying 13,000 lila a year, the factory was contracted by Binghe. This fee makes Binghe feel that it is surprisingly cheap. Later, Binghe learned that it was the authority of the leaders of the mechanical team to contract a factory in the imperial capital.

However, the vast majority of the team leaders of the mechanical college are not active in the contracting factory, because for most of the team leaders, the contracting factory is a net expenditure project. It is a resource that can be mobilized by oneself when dealing with assessment tasks. Most of the leaders of the mechanical college, and the disciples of the great nobles, contract factories for only one or two months. It is mainly used to make some necessary machinery for assessment.

Keith's pocket money a year is only more than 6,000, and because the territory of the Gun Flame family is not as rich as the Wave Wheel family, Liyun's pocket money in the first year is 3,008. The pocket money for the first year was 1,600. As for the children of the rich merchants and small aristocrats of the mechanical colleges, most of them did not have more than a thousand pocket money a year.

(Note: In the 21st century, students' pocket money and students' book fees are different concepts, pocket money is their own free use, and book fees can be taken from home.) In the same way, the cost of materials for the construction of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft for Khajet, and the wealth of the third group of students in the trial, are all supported by families and have nothing to do with pocket money. ）

#

Therefore, the leaders of the mechanical institute have nothing to do and will not contract the factory.

Binghe now thinks that the 13,000 lira contracted factory is cheap. It is because Binghe has technology, technicians (classmates), management plans, production plans, and has opened up the sales channel of Khajit. It can be profitable, so Binghe thinks it is very cheap.

The reason why Binghe chose this factory is that in the trial, Binghe is very familiar with the manpower in the factory, and Binghe beckoned the students of the third group in the college to join (pull classmates to be factory technicians). These students are also very familiar with the workers in this factory and can directly start to manage them.

#

Binghe was trying to pull the students of the third group to his factory. There was a small episode.

Bingnu's trial at the beginning of the last year consumed more than 50,000 lira, and this part of the empire was reimbursed by seventy percent. The money used to encourage the enthusiasm of the factory workers was 80,000 lira. Note: In the later period, three coal-water slurry vehicles were bought by the military at the price of 10,000 li.

Binghe made a profit of several thousand miles in the end, and Binghe was trying to find his classmates to share the money according to modern thinking. Only then did I find out that a very peculiar thing, when I was trying in the factory, that account was 320,000 lire.

At that time, during the trial, Binghe threw out the 400,000 imperial lira bills of exchange, and Binghe admitted one-fifth of the assessment, and asked the other students to sign together, making this rich appearance.

At that time, Binghe knew that it would not take 400,000 lira, and the bill of exchange thrown out 400,000 lire was mainly to show confidence in the factory's abundant funds, so that the factory workers should not worry about not paying and let them work for nothing. But Binghe's doing this also makes those students misguided.

When the assessment was over, the person in charge of the factory did not dare to swallow this huge amount of money, this huge amount of money was still left in the account, and those group students did not make a sound, when two months after the assessment, when the military remitted the money, Bing Hu went to the account to withdraw the money from the factory, only to find that the account not only had the money given by the military, but also such a huge amount.

#

As a person with modern morality, Binghe decided to return the money to these students.

And in this kind of money refund process, those students are not relieved to get back the money, and those students are showing the appearance of repeatedly shirking. In the eyes of the students in the third group, after the trial, giving Binghe 320,000 lira is not considered to be exploited, but a normal step to pay money to do things.

In the end, under the temptation of swallowing the money, Binghe forcibly returned the money.

As a manager, if he is as greedy as the feudal lord, he will not be able to effectively formulate management rules, and he will not be able to manage industrial production at all.

#

I finally returned the windfall.

And the seven thousand miles of profits, but they can't give it to those classmates, to be precise, the students in the third group are scared by Binghe's politeness. Begin to dodge the core.

So when renting the factory this time, Binghe counted the money into it, and then calculated it according to the share to these classmates who were willing to come to his factory to help him.

This time, I pulled my classmates to work as mechanics in the factory, although I could use the order of the team leader, as well as my own noble status to invite, and the prestige of the last trial to instruct. They came to their own factory.

However, Binghe believes that the most scientific management method is to pay dividends to senior skilled workers. Because the impossibility of prestige is a constant reminder of a person's positivity. Factory production involves a large number of complex technical operations and management steps, and workers and grassroots administrators cannot always keep in mind the prestige of the supreme leader, and once the prestige person leaves, they can't help but slack off. Binghe doesn't think that he has the spirit of a king, and he can make people think about repaying themselves all the time for their hard work.

However, as long as the system makes producers feel that their interests are at stake when they perform production tasks, then the interests can remind skilled workers that managers are conscientious. Therefore, dividends to skilled workers are the most scientific management system that Binghe can think of, and it can best guarantee the enthusiasm of all personnel in a system.

And now Binghe is also glad that he restrained the temptation of not swallowing 320,000 lira at that time, if the feudal director was willing to take it away, it would be impossible to make these students believe that he could give them dividends.

In this high-level position in society, the credibility that can be trusted is more important than a large amount of money. Three hundred and twenty thousand lira just seems a bit much now, and the days ahead are long.

#

A relatively modern management factory, a production system that allows everyone to consciously abide by the system, and a production organization that can ensure that thousands of production steps will not go wrong and will not get out of control.

Let Binghe now have the confidence and ability to build an extremely large chemical processing plant compared to this era.

For the chemical technology commonly used in the world's military system, Binghe has long been speechless.

#

Briefly describe the history of the development of gunpowder propellants.

1: Black # gunpowder, nitrate sugar can be rocket propellant. The representative of the early black # gunpowder rocket technology of the earth, the Congreve rocket, sixty-one centimeters long and a maximum of one hundred kilograms in the center, was hung on a bamboo pole three meters long and released. (Large Drill Monkey), the range can reach two or three thousand meters. It was quickly eliminated in modern times. The weapons inside the rocket were not seen in the First World War.

2: During World War II, the famous Katyusha used smokeless gunpowder, that is, nitrocellulose dissolved in ether and alcohol, and an appropriate amount of stabilizer was added to it to become a gelatinous substance. But this propellant. It was not enough to break the superiority of mortars and field artillery.

3. That is, the propellant of the combination of ammonium perchlorate and coal tar bitumen. It is also the so-called first generation of composite propellants on Earth. That's what Binghe wants to do.

According to the idea of the earth, this is nonsense, this propellant has strong thrust but a lot of white smoke, which is not suitable for the concealment of individual rockets. But Binghe thought that playing rockets in this world is long-range, and it needs to be remotely controlled halfway, so the flight position of the rocket can be clearly judged through the white smoke orbit and then accurately remotely controlled. Therefore, this propellant was chosen

#

Among the various production tasks in the plant, the most dangerous technical link is the preparation of perchlorate, a compound that acts as an oxidizer for solid fuels.

In the factory's boilers, young students from the Imperial Mechanical Academy began to take on production tasks in various positions, in which they only had to release a few spells to control the reactor, control the pressure, and control the reaction rate.

Binghe can also be regarded as seeing the ability of the family heirloom spells of these factory owner families, such as the girl White Curtain, who controls the suspension of reactants in the reactor through the electromagnetic induction of charged particles to speed up the reaction. This new magic system is not used in the production of the Gun Flame Family, and the magic line is not good at this kind of operation.

It can be seen that some senior mechanic families still specialize in the art industry. It has its own unique technical advantages.

And Binghe at this time after the production line is opened.

This chemical control is not much weaker than the systematic control of high-tech chemical plants in previous lives. Of course, the chemical industry of the previous world relied on sophisticated equipment and the accumulation of long-term large-scale basic experiments, but now it relies on the mechanic's magic observation and magic control. and the mechanic's summary.

#

After fifteen days of production, the first batch of homing rockets was produced. ——The progress is mainly stuck by Binghe, only Binghe is suitable for the production of guidance equipment, and Binghe, a production task, has not yet put a lot of work to ordinary people. It's not that Binghe doesn't want to, but it's alchemy, and only the spear flame family is good at it.

In the end, what came out were military rocket warheads painted with green paint. The tip of the warhead is loaded with a rudimentary electronic remote control system, the tail.

When the goods were produced in the factory, a group of soldiers walked in with pens and notebooks, marked 2,240 homing warheads, and at the same time marked the warheads with red paint pens. And some samples of this batch of weapons were taken to the test site for testing.

#

On the test site, a white column of smoke erupted from the shoulder of the instructor in charge of the test, and the rocket ejected by the bazooka on the instructor's shoulder dragged out a choking white smoke, which was formed by the condensation of hydrogen chloride and air produced after the combustion of a strong oxidant. Binghe took a look at the weapon with a telescope.

By Earth standards: the effective range of this type of weapon is 400 meters, since the Earth Soldier Bazooka is a direct target of movement. Earthlings can only operate bazookas in this way.

And the professionals of this world use bazookas, which are launched directly at an angle of 30 degrees.

After launching, the pros gave themselves concentration, dynamic vision, and control the trajectory of the rocket with channeling magic. Binghe predicted that the professionals of this world would be able to shoot similar weapons on the earth with an effective range of 1,500 meters. It's too ruthless. After seeing this data, the Iron Kings of this world began to worry. (Bing Nu is a shaped charge, and the posture of the rocket landing is an empowerment strike.) ）

#

Binghe looked at the flickering big explosion point in the distance, turned back to the test officers at the test site and asked, "My workmanship is okay." ”

However, Binghe, who was expecting praise, looked back and saw that Khajit and the test officer had not yet removed the telescopic technique. Their facial expressions were slowly stiffened with surprise.

"Each batch of rockets is all sampled and tested." The Imperial officer who came with Khajit immediately gave orders to the officer in charge of the inspection behind him after removing the distant look.

Then he turned his head to Binghe and Khajit and said solemnly: "This batch of weapons cannot flow into a series of training at the Military Academy. Will the military blockade this batch of weapons? ”

Binghe couldn't help it: "Why? (Binghe spent a lot of money to make this batch of munitions.) It can't be said that confiscation is confiscation)

And the officer smiled at Binghe and said, "Mr. Gunflame, these guided rockets of yours have exceeded the standards of the Imperial Aircraft. In the future, if you can continue to provide martial rockets with this parameter, the empire will buy them at a reasonable price. But for the Imperial Military Academy, the weapon was excessively powerful, and the Military Academy did not allow such weapons to appear on the assessment field. ”

"It turned out that it wasn't confiscation" Binghe breathed a sigh of relief, but in an instant, he saw Khajet's face full of frustration. Binghe immediately asked: "That, if the standard is lowered, can it be used in the assessment of the Military Academy?" ”

The instructor glanced at Kajit and said, "The range should be reduced to one-third of what it is now, and the power should be reduced to a radius of seven meters." ”

Binghe nodded and said, "This is easy to do, reduce the propellant, and add some lime to the explosion department." ”

The instructor looked at Binghe and said in a high-sounding tone: "I can't interfere with your free choice. I personally don't recommend you to do that. Weapons are important. However, (at this point, the instructor glanced at Kajit) the reserve soldiers in the academy need to hone their combat skills. Advanced guidance weapons are more effective in the hands of regular combat units. ”

With that, the instructor walked to the other side, leaving room for Binghe and Kajette to have a private conversation

#

Binghe came to Cajit and quietly gestured a finger, fifty rounds a month.

Kajette sighed and said, "No, thirty rounds is fine, and there is no need to provide it every month." I'm ready for the critical assessment on it. (If he were to shoot thirty rounds at Coffey's cavalry every month during the trial, Khajette thought it was too out of line.)

There will be an assessment next month, and after playing such 30 rounds, Khajette already thinks that Coffey may be on fire, and once Coffey is on fire, Cadjet thinks that Binghe may not be able to withstand it. Therefore, Khajit felt that it was important to reach a reasonable and stable agreement with Binghe in the eyes of the vast majority of nobles.

Then Kajit smiled and said, "Congratulations, in the future, after I officially serve in the army, don't give me these things out of stock." Note: This is the actual interest that Cadet focuses on, and if he makes Coffey sad and hateful in order to pretend to be forced in the academy and messes up the future connection between himself and Binghe, it will be more than worth the loss for Khajet.

#

(Compared with the late 20th century, the military factories of a large country with complete industrial chains often produced tens of millions of rounds a year, and the amount of nearly 1,000 rounds a month was pitiful.) But it is necessary to look at the combat effect of the guide. The effect of this thousand rounds in the hands of a highly professional is similar to that of an anti-tank missile. With a range of more than 1,500 meters and the possibility of remote guidance, this is the combat effectiveness of anti-tank missiles. And there is a qualitative difference in the load pressure of individual soldiers.

Allowing a soldier to carry a four-kilogram rocket and a few tens of kilograms of anti-tank missiles are two different concepts for an individual soldier. To use a popular analogy: this difference in the weight of a single soldier is the comparison between a bachelor who is in a state of backpacking and shopping by himself, a man in love and helping his girlfriend carry a bag to go shopping.

Referring to the 2017 year when a major country in South Asia urgently responded to the conflict in the north, 8,000 Spike anti-tank missiles were urgently needed. In an attempt to counteract the pressure on the tank, the missile was quoted at $150,000 (of course, there was an element of the arms dealer's price increase). In this slight comparison, Binghe's arms business is actually not small.

#

Within the empire, the supply of arms was originally the responsibility of the Imperial Logistics Department. Each legion can receive basic ammo and artillery from the Empire, but also has its own access to special weapons

Such rockets did not belong to the category of what the empire was able to supply mass-produced. In order to ensure the motivation of the mechanics to supply and to meet the special weapon requirements of each legion.

The Empire allowed nobles and mechanics to negotiate their own solutions. However, the Empire monitors the transactions of all legions

And the empire will take 4% to 15% of the intermediate cost in the middle, and this fluctuation of the intermediate cost allows the empire to hold the nobles of each legion hostage.

#

When Khajit and the military instructors left. Horse-drawn carts carrying wooden boxes loaded with rockets also left along the concrete road. Everything was quiet again.

Leaning against the big iron gate of the factory, Binghe put his hand on the inside of his coat and took out a notebook, which recorded a lot of things to do.

Turning to short-term matters, a circle was drawn on the recorded matters leading the supply of weapons. Of course, this is only one of the many plans in the small notebook.
