Chapter Twenty-Six: The Beginning

"Woo woo!" The boiling water turns into steam, converting the heat into infinitely powerful kinetic energy, which is transmitted by levers, driving the roulette wheel to rotate at high speed, and the rows of minecarts that pull the opposite cave diagonally to the infinite depth below with thick ropes can easily climb up the iron-wrapped wooden track, and soon reach the ground.

A group of samurai from the small clan of the Nagisa clan and many people hurriedly untied the tow rope on the minecart, pushed it into the fork in front of the end of the minecart track, and pushed the minecart one by one to the smelting site not far from here.

When Wang Yue was in the Chengmu Collection, Gongyu was standing in front of the first steam engine used in the mine in Jidi, before the advent of this steam engine, neither he nor Gongyu had ever thought that the equipment was not powered by extraordinary power... It was inconceivable to him that he could burst out with such power just by boiling water.

However, this is just a simple device, compared to the intelligent robot that Wang Yue once showed him, there is a gap of tens of thousands.

A simple machine is so powerful, but what about those who are complicated and powerful?

Gong Yi Yu was born in the world's top craftsman family, knowledge, insight is enough, in fact, the Gong Loser itself enjoys the countless conveniences brought by the instrument, but all kinds of equipment power are capable of the Gong Loser, so naturally know what this kind of equipment that can be popularized and used by mortals means, perhaps just this simple steam engine mass manufacturing, diffusion means earth-shaking.

"What a wonderful and powerful device. ”

"Mining is much easier now, and you don't have to rely on many samurai to pull the minecart up in a long and laborious way. ”

A group of Nagisa warriors were talking from the side, staring at the steam engine with burning eyes.

"It's just a small start. ”

Gong Yu shook his head, a smile appeared on his lips, and handed over the work of operating the steam engine to a miner with a certain amount of training, and went to the smelting area and the casting area, where Wang Yue placed him, but it was not as simple as building a steam engine.

With this in mind, he pulled out one of the several books in his arms and looked at it as he walked.

The above are all the work given to him by Wang Yue, as well as related knowledge and mechanical design.

These, originally Wang Yue thought that he would spend a long time studying to understand, and was ready to do it himself, asking him to assist in the side learning, and then let go after he learned it, but in fact, Gong Yiyu, who was born in a family of craftsmen, knew whether it was industrial production, equipment manufacturing, and physics knowledge, and basic mathematics, but it was not so systematic.

Wang Yue was also happy and comfortable, and handed over this place to him, but came over from time to time to inspect it.

After the steam engine is completed and mining efficiency is greatly improved, what is the next step?

Open the book... There are many things to do, but there are two important points.

One is a variety of machine tools, once there is this, and then bring out enough personnel, then the manufacturing and processing of many instruments, without relying on extraordinary power and get a wide range of popularization, by that time the entire Jidi of various equipment manufacturing capacity will get an unprecedented improvement, and then Wang Yue in the Jidi efforts to promote the standardization of the more important weights and measures, that is, the unified formulation of length, Weight and various standards, which require a large number of standardized instruments, although now there are Wang Yue's hand-made meter rulers in the hands of craftsmen everywhere in Jidi, and craftsmen have expanded the line rulers used in combination with meter rulers, and the construction of various places is barely enough, but once large-scale industrial production is carried out in the future, it is obviously far from enough.

"Nagisa Lao. ”

"Mr. Gongyi, what are we going to do today?" Seeing Gongyi coming over, Zhu Xianyun showed a big smile on his face, looking good in both spirit and complexion, obviously he has been very nourished here recently, and he is more satisfied with his life here.

The mine here is the most important area of the land, all kinds of resources, technology are preferential, although the residence is not as large as the manor in the past, but the housing and living facilities are unprecedented convenience and comfort, the most important thing is that in the order system of the land, the status of the Zhu clan with strong creativity is much higher than he originally thought when he surrendered to Wang Yue, and the salary that Wang Yue gave him is far more than the income from the manor in the past.

The only thing that is not as good as what it used to be is that I now have to work every day, and there are no more servants and slaves to serve.

However, for the latter, he recently sent people to Shenguo, and selected and hired a lot of displaced people who were affected by the war to fill them (because the whole country was mobilized for construction, the local Li Shu law did not allow them to be hired as servants), and his life became more and more comfortable.

"Today we make instruments. Gong Yiyu replied casually and organized workers to move all kinds of materials (mainly large steel ingots and large steel plates) they needed.

He took out a steel ruler and measured it on the steel ingot, marked it with mana lines, and handed it to Zhu Xianyun, who used the high-temperature fire line far beyond the melting point of the steel as a cutting knife, and processed the steel ingots and steel plates according to the marking, and produced various scattered parts of unknown meaning to Zhu Xianyun.

These parts will be moved by the workers to the assembly room belonging to the public elm... He personally assembled the parts individually, and in the future, unless there was an occasional need for welding, Nagisa Xianyun would bother Nagisa Xianyun, and during the whole process, Nagisa Xianyun and any of Nagisa's samurai had no real access to technology.

These are the various technical confidentiality measures set up by Wang Yue here.

"Squeak, squeak. "The bronze casting made a sharp noise with the wooden frame that held the casting in place under the strong pull.

"Peng", the sound stopped, a stone bullet flew out violently, flew straight over the land before landing, rolled forward a few times, and finally stopped, in front of a ballista with the shape of Wang Yue's ballista team with Wang Shangdi, Gong Yiban sighed helplessly.

Shang Wen, the landlord standing next to him, saw this and asked with concern: "The public loser, is it still not good?"

Gong Yi said: "The most important thing about the Ballista of the Snake Yu Gongzi is that the crossbow body that seems to be made of top famous sword materials can withstand stronger power, and replacing it with a copper limit is what you see in front of you, Lord Shang." ”

"Lord Shang, the loser has done his best in this matter. ”

Shang Wen's eyebrows were furrowed, and after a while with Wang Yue, he thought that borrowing Wang Yue's ballista team could not only be used to defend the city, but also to ask the public loser to imitate the ballista, and then set up a ballista team himself, so that he could no longer be subject to Wang Yue, and he could also use more ballistas to defeat the Cai army led by the Wu family.

But I never thought that this would be the case.

The power and range of the ballistae made by the public loser with all his might were far inferior to the ballistas in the hands of the ballista team seconded by Wang Yue.

The power is not as good, the range is not as good, and the rate of fire is not enough, which means that the lethality of the enemy is greatly reduced, and even the enemy high-ranking samurai can intercept the stone projectile with a frontal sword, a bronze shield, and a flying spear... This crossbow is more than enough to defend the city, but it is far from enough for the battle array.

The biggest problem is that this crossbow must also be presided over by members of the public loser, and it is destined to not be able to accumulate a sufficient numerical advantage.

In this way, it is far inferior to the three-bow and nine-ox crossbow brought by the public loser.

"Is there any other way for the loser?"

Madara said, "Unless adults can obtain the secret method of manufacturing such materials, it is impossible." ”

Shang Wen said: "But this secret method is in the hands of the Snake Yu Gongzi, how easy is it to get it? Recently, I have sent several groups of temple warriors to infiltrate the Jidi, but somehow, most of them only entered the Jidi because of the existence of the Cai Guoji Attack Camp similar to me, and besieged and killed... None survived. ”

"A few of the strongest ones, led by a super-level samurai, finally sent back the news through the messenger treasure that they had infiltrated the heavy ground of the earth-drawing equipment, and then there was no news of it, and it was already ... Mr. Gongyi, you are also present in the next battle, and you should know how powerful the trap set by the Snake Yu Gongzi is under the deliberate precautions. Shang Wen felt unwilling, but also palpitated, and said: "It seems that it is impossible to obtain this secret method from the Snake Yu Gongzi. ”

Gong Yiban spread his hands: "In this case, my Gong loser can't help it, but my lord may think of a way from Yue Guo, the top famous swords in the world are mostly from Yue Guo, and the casters who can cast famous swords in Yue Country must have such secret techniques in their hands." ”

Shang Wen thought for a moment and said, "This is a way out." Chao Gong Lost Spot arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the reminder." (To be continued.) )
