Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
There was a strong learning atmosphere in the camp, such as those documents, studying numbers every day, and having a preliminary understanding of Arabic numerals, so they began to ponder all kinds of strange documents, no longer only relying on secret books and numbers to encrypt, but also added many methods of secrecy.
At night, they also give lessons to the young men, teaching them numbers and basic words.
The doctors read some medical books every day, borrowed books from the camp's 'library' and memorized some prescriptions, and usually prepared some medicinal herbs in addition to the treatment of the wounded.
The young and strong get up early every morning and are led by people to start the exercises, from morning to night, without giving them any gap.
Usually the food is good, so after staying up, these few months of hard work, these young men are no longer Wuxia Ameng, and when they first arrived at the camp, these seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers, the figure is faintly burly, even if the congenital factors, the figure is not tall, but the whole body is full of fierceness, the eyes are no longer as loose and careless as at the beginning, and they are full of energy between raising their hands and feet.
The carpenters were now in a hurry, because they had to build several more blast furnaces, which had to be equipped with bellows and waterwheels; The blacksmith was not idle, he was a mason, and at this time he was also building a blast furnace and building a house.
More than a dozen men are hired from outside, and a few are drawn from other places, and even there are two special butchers in the camp, all of whom also calculate wages, but this salary is divided by grade, a total of nine levels, such as doctors, the registration is level two, higher than those who have no skills at all, and then according to the results of the monthly examination, or the performance of the usual diagnosis and treatment, according to the ability of the person to gradually increase the level, the best doctor, now the salary is level four, a month there are one or two or eight dollars of silver.
Everyone has a salary. There was a place to eat, drink and sleep, and the money could not be kept moldy, so a special grocery store was set up in the camp. Selling fruits, dried fruits, pastries and the like, this place has become a small world. Everyone in the world has a role to play.
However, although this kind of management method seems perfect at the moment, Hao Fenglou also knows in his heart that the reason why there is no problem at the moment is that the number of people is not large, and once the number of people increases in the future, such a simple and crude management method will not be of much use.
Hao San saw that the young master had arrived with Xiao Xiangxiang, and hurriedly greeted him. As the head of the camp, he brought a few 'dog-legged' characters, who seemed to be more shrewd and stable than before, but fortunately he did not develop that kind of flowing temperament. This is naturally not Hao San's self-control, if it weren't for Zhu Zhiling watching him for three days, God knows what this guy would become.
"Young Master......"
Hao Fenglou nodded and said, "It's been nothing lately, right?" ”
"No, no. It's all very good, with Miss Zhu here, who dares to make a mistake? Hao San didn't know Zhu Zhiling's true identity, and even most of the people in the camp might not know Hao Fenglou's identity until now.
Hao Fenglou nodded and said, "Gather the blacksmith, I have something to explain." Other than that. Arrange Xiao Xiangxiang and go to Miss Zhu, she is here to take care of my daily life, so don't let her hang out here, it's not a proper system. ”
Xiao Xiangxiang couldn't help but say: "What kind of truth is this, Mrs. said ......"
Hao San immediately said: "What's the matter, here is what the young master says, don't keep mentioning Mrs. ...... Madam...... Our young master is already a great person, how can we listen to Madame in everything......"
He was full of flattery, knowing that Hao Fenglou had his own opinions, so he made a statement in front of Hao Fenglou.
Who knew that this fart slapped on the horse's leg, Hao Fenglou reprimanded: "Raised by a son of a bitch, what does my mother have to do with you, go, go, go, go." ”
Xiao Xiangxiang immediately turned her anger into joy and made a grimace at Hao San.
The arrangements are in place, the craftsmen have arrived, Hao Fenglou did not rush to start coming up with his own ideas, but asked the craftsmen to make some firecrackers in batches, what he urgently needs now is to understand the highest level of firecrackers in this era.
After listening to the words of the 'young master', these craftsmen did not dare to slack off, and everyone was counting on the table, so everyone directly opened the furnace and began to use the previous experience to make firecrackers.
In fact, the manufacture of the fire gun is very simple, the fire gun of this era is nothing more than a gun pipe and a wooden handle connection, there is no complex component, but the fire gun has extremely high requirements for the process, in this regard, the camp has a great advantage, the process is not to mention for the time being, but the quality of the steel, I think it can pass, at least the danger of explosion can be minimized.
After a day of tinkering, all kinds of firecrackers were sent to Hao Fenglou, there are bird guns, flowering guns, three-eyed guns, etc., among which the bird guns are closest to the prototype of the smoothbore guns of later generations, the guns are longer, half a zhang full, and the caliber is not large, so the design can greatly improve the range.
It's just that when Hao Fenglou played with this bird's gun carefully made by the craftsmen, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
There is basically no problem in the design, the structure of the gun is almost not much different from the smoothbore gun of later generations, whether it is the machine, the handle, or the gun tube can be described as a whimsy, the creation of the Celestial Empire of this era is really more than enough, it is simply the dawn of mankind, and all kinds of whims are used in many places, whether it is iron-making and steel-making, or the manufacture of machinery. The appearance of the four major inventions in the Celestial Empire is not wronged, and this bird gun alone is actually at least a few Jiazi ahead of the West, but it is just ......
Poor......
Although the best steel is used, it is still made of casting molds, but Hao Fenglou can only be described by the word inferior.
After summing up, the biggest problem lies in the inner wall part of the gun, the reason why the smoothbore gun is called a smoothbore gun is because the smoother the inside, the smoother it is, the more smooth it is, the resistance after the projectile is fired, and at the same time it can greatly improve the accuracy. However, the inner wall of this bird gun is uneven, and there are obviously many small bumps in it, such a bird gun is not impossible to launch, but there is only one thing that makes people cry and laugh, that is, the accuracy and range of shooting, which has a great impact.
Hao Fenglou ordered someone to try the bird gun, and sure enough, it was not as unexpected as he expected, and the range was only eighty steps, which was a little embarrassing. As for accuracy, there is no need to have any illusions, it almost refers to playing east and west, relying on luck. After the gunpowder burns in the gun, it emits an expanding gas, which pushes the projectile in the gun to move forward along the long tube of the gun, just like the train of later generations travels along the railroad tracks, the smoother the tracks, the same power, the faster the speed, and if the rails are uneven, it is fortunate not to derail, as for the speed, it is needless to mention.
Therefore, to solve the current problem, the root is still in the process.
If this problem can be solved, then the practicability and lethality of the bird gun will be greatly improved.
Hao Fenglou was not in a hurry to throw out his plan, but gathered the craftsmen and asked them to think of a way, these craftsmen are veterans after all, and they can gradually catch up with Hao Fenglou's ideas, and then someone proposed that they can find a way to improve the clay mold.
There are often two ways to make weapons, one is the white satin type, which is nothing more than heating the iron and then constantly tempering it to knock out the air and impurities inside. Nowadays, molten steel can be made directly, so most weapons or iron tools are cast through molds, first using clay to pinch out the hollow part of the construction, and then directly pour the molten steel on, after cooling, the thing is formed.
It's a bit like making moon cakes, carving a mold out of wood, and then pouring food directly into it, and once you open it, a carved moon cake is ready.
The idea of the blacksmiths was that if the mold could be made more finely and the defects on the mold could be minimized, the inner wall of the tube would naturally be much smoother.
So everyone worked together, invited masons and carpenters to figure it out, and finally made a new mold, and waited until the molten iron was poured into it, and after cooling and molding, the effect was really much better, at least the particles visible to the naked eye were greatly reduced.
Immediately a few blacksmiths came up with the idea of making a file to polish the inner wall of the pipe, this kind of long file, directly inserted into the pipe, just like a piston, twitching back and forth in the pipe, a few times down, a formal pipe was formed, although the inner wall could not reach the complete flawless state of later generations, but compared with the current process, it is really a leap of progress.
Hao Fenglou even suspected that his level should be much better than that of the eighteenth-century smoothbore gun, naturally, this was his own brain supplement, and the specific effect would have to be pondered.
After a busy day, Hao Fenglou returned to Zhu Zhiling's residence in a dirty state, Xiao Xiangxiang had already heated the meal, and when she saw Hao Fenglou coming, she couldn't help complaining: "Young master, young master...... The food has been cold a few times, and you have just come back. Sister Zhu wanted to wait for you to eat, but you never came back, so she went to urge the strong men to take night classes. ”
Hao Fenglou smiled slightly: "Oh, night class? Why don't you join in the fun? ”
Xiao Xiangxiang said resentfully: "Naturally, I have to wait for the young master to eat first, and then I will say that the lady said that I want to watch the young master eat on time......"
Hao Fenglou shook his head, Xiao Xiangxiang had already served the food, Hao Fenglou ate it, made a pot of tea, and ate it comfortably.
At this time, Zhu Zhiling came back, and seeing Hao Fenglou's comfortable appearance, he couldn't help but say: "Have you heard of the latest news?" ”
Hao Fenglou said: "What's the news?" ”
Zhu Zhiling said: "I have guards in Nanjing, and I will send some Di Bao at any time." She took out a copy of the newspaper from the make-up cabinet in the small hall and said, "See for yourself." "There was a strong learning atmosphere in the camp, such as those documents, studying numbers every day, and having a preliminary understanding of Arabic numerals, so I began to ponder all kinds of strange documents, no longer just relying on secret books and numbers to encrypt, but also added many methods of secrecy.
