Chapter 19: Renovating the Blacksmith's Shop
In fact, the reason why Morin had the confidence to fall out with Baron Aofan and fight with him. The www.biquge.info is not that he is already an intermediate mage apprentice, nor that he has strengthened many spells, but that he has seen and mastered the knowledge.
Knowledge is power!
Maureen is the one who has the ability to turn his knowledge into power!
The two armies fought, and the outcome was unpredictable. But there are various means that can be used to strengthen the odds of victory. Through strict training, strengthened discipline, etc., the combat effectiveness of his subordinate soldiers can be improved, and Morin does not need to bother in this regard, and it is not possible to improve combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
I want to massively improve the combat effectiveness of my fighters in a short period of time and increase my chances of victory. The simplest and crudest way is to make sophisticated equipment on a large scale.
A heavily armed soldier whose combat effectiveness is far superior to that of an unarmed civilian.
Morin's purpose was to transform the blacksmith shop into an arsenal capable of mass-producing ordnance.
Clever smelting and manufacturing technology, he won't. But he also doesn't need to evolve the arsenal from a purely manual blacksmith production method to the level of data automation all at once.
With only a small promotion, the use of mechanical power and advanced management methods, the combination of mechanical power and manpower, into the era of assembly line production.
As long as there is a continuous supply of well-made ordnance, it will be produced and armed to the soldiers under its command. Morin believed that the combat effectiveness of the army in his territory would improve by leaps and bounds.
War, fighting is logistics!
The comparison is who has more soldiers, who has more training, who has more equipment, and who has more food......
After the Battle of Quicksand Castle, his prestige reached its peak in the territory. He can arm hundreds of thousands of people in his territory at any time, and all of them are soldiers. The territory is 100,000 young and strong, and it is a rich source of soldiers.
As long as they are armed, they can cause great lethality, even to civilians without any training.
Of course, Morin is not ready to develop the war to this point, all the people are soldiers and say that it is terrifying, but this is also a choice in desperation to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.
In the backward era of human society, two major forces are at war, and it takes a lot of time to prepare. Recruiting soldiers, training in wartime, mobilizing supplies, gathering intelligence, and other tedious and trivial work will take at least more than a month!
There is still a lot of time left for him, and he can slowly prepare and strengthen his odds.
"Documenting the ...... of the manufacturing process"
Mo Lin seemed to be silently inspecting the blacksmith shop, but in fact, he secretly recorded the operation of the blacksmith shop and the process of manufacturing ordnance with a data chip.
Smelting metal, forging iron blanks, iron blank forming, cooling......
Witnessed it with his own eyes, forging a sword and shield from cold iron ore after a series of processing.
Mo Lin's heart suddenly had a bottom in his mind, and his mind continued to fill in more details about the manufacturing process.
"Young Master Morin......" Steward William saw that Morin's face was not good-looking, but he also understood in his heart. Anyone who sees that the armory battalion under his name is a blacksmith shop will not look good. He smiled, "Look?"
"Go back!" Morin said suddenly.
"Huh?!" Butler William was stunned, wondering if he had misheard. Young Master Morin didn't get angry? He didn't get angry? He had already done everything in his heart to bear the anger of Young Master Morin, but he never thought that Mo Lin didn't say anything......
This result was unexpected, and his mind was blank for a while, and he was stunned for a while. When he saw the figure of Mo Lin who had gone away, he hurriedly chased after him.
.......
Back in the castle room, Maureen locked himself up. Sit down at the table, hold a quill in your hand, spread out the white paper, write and draw.
The data chip can only be deduced and optimized on the existing framework, and has no ability to create out of thin air.
Therefore, to evolve his own blacksmith shop into an assembly line production arsenal, a series of processes need to be done by Morin himself, no matter how strong the computing power of the data chip is, it can only play an auxiliary role.
Although he is not a master of cold weapons, nor is he an expert in metal materials, nor is he an arsenal administrator, he is a person who lives in the era of big data and is well-informed.
Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run?
Clever manufacturing technology, powerful alloy synthesis technology, he can't figure it out. However, on the basis of the original, he can still optimize the production process of cold weapons, and replace mechanical force with manpower in some parts, with the assistance of the powerful computing power of the data chip.
All of a sudden, Maureen was writing and drawing on the white paper, and his handwriting was so sloppy that if anyone saw it, they would think that their Baron Maureen was drawing something like a ghost.
Although it was a ghost drawing, no one could tell what he was drawing, but after a day and a night. Constantly drawing plans and deleting them, gradually a perfect blacksmith shop upgraded to an assembly line production arsenal design plan quietly appeared.
The new production process has replaced manpower with a lot more machinery.
Mo Lin, a machine with great power, can't be built out of thin air, and Mo Lin can't make a device that uses magic crystals as an energy source, because of the lack of knowledge about magic arrays and the like, Mo Lin can't build it at this time.
Therefore, only the simplest forging press, stone crusher, which uses water power, can be made.
Don't underestimate these two things, breaking the iron ore into pieces, and forging the semi-solidified molten iron into shape, are the most labor-intensive and time-consuming steps.
Nowadays, having forging presses and stone crushers, even the most rudimentary water power, is enough to increase the efficiency dozens of times!
Soon, Maureen perfectly copied the forging press, stone crusher and production process designed in the data chip on the drawings.
Holding the drawings, he rushed out of the room with a pair of red eyes. Under the astonished gaze of many soldiers and servants of the castle, he rushed to the blacksmith shop.
Find craftsmen, explain the process to them one by one, and mobilize all manpower and material resources to manufacture the forging machine crusher.
For a period of time, Morin devoted himself to improving the blacksmith's shop, and even had much less time to practice spells and meditate.
The eyes were red, as if they were going to eat people, and they were ferocious and terrible.
Seven days later.
At all costs, a brand new arsenal quietly took shape.
New manufacturing processes, new manufacturing tools, new manufacturing processes......
Pieces of iron ore are fed into a stone crusher built next to the river, and with the vigorous stirring of the stone crusher, they are rolled into pieces of crushed stone, which is passed through a conveyor belt and passed into the blast furnace of iron ore refining.
Most of the fuel used in the blast furnace is coal, and in order to increase the temperature in the blast furnace, Merlin directly put the magic crystal into it as fuel at any cost.
With the magic crystal as fuel, the temperature rose rapidly, exceeding the melting point of iron ore of 1,538 degrees in the blink of an eye, and the reddish molten iron flowed out of the blast furnace, through the channel differentiation, and flowed into the sword and shield molds that had been made one after another.
By adding water to cool, soon a sword and a steel shield were formed. After being beaten by the forging press, the impurities are strongly pressed out, and the hardness and toughness are improved.
This is followed by a series of manual forging, after the strike.
A standard sword with a sharp handle and the same size is produced, and at the same time, a large number of steel shields are also produced, after artificial modification, they are also produced piece by piece.
