Chapter 21: New Equipment (I)
The solution of the problem made the project completed on schedule, and when Liu Yu came over again on the day of the ribbon cutting, the whole scene was completely different from the first time. On the huge main gate, the six gilded characters of "Bokan Equipment Group" are dancing with dragons and phoenixes, colorful flags are waving in the wind, the main officials of Boban Province are seated on the viewing platform, and the craftsmen gather together to talk excitedly.
When Guan Xing personally lit the No. 1 blast furnace, the fan was running at high speed, and the flames were blazing, the audience resounded with thunderous cheers. The entire project was completed in only half a month, creating a miracle in the history of the Dragon Empire's architecture. The construction of the Changqing River Dam not only solved the problem of steel-making blast furnaces, but also saved the people around Bokan City from the threat of flooding.
A total of ten blast furnaces are lit in turn, and the iron ore is slowly heated and melted in the furnaces. After one day of smelting, it will be smelted into qualified raw materials for subsequent departments.
The casting method of the iron-backed repeater provided by Liu Yu was disassembled by Liang Shan into eleven processes, and four kinds of repeater crossbows of different specifications and sizes were designed. They are: a light crossbow for individual soldiers, a heavy crossbow for three people, a heavy crossbow for vehicles, and a giant crossbow for city defense. Each group of people is only responsible for the production of one process, which greatly improves the work efficiency.
Duan Ye was in charge of the smelting and casting work of the entire factory, combining the skills of himself and Liu Yu to create a new casting process. In the same way, he divided the casting process of weapons into five processes.
Seeing that the factory is busy running, Liu Yu's heart is also full of a sense of achievement, his plan is going on step by step, and it won't be long before it's time to produce results.
In the office, Guan Xing, Zhang Wenyu, Liang Shan, Zhang Liyang, the military chief of Boban Province, Sun Chunping, Liu Yu, Zheng Zhi, Duan Ye, and other financial officers are gathering together to discuss future development issues. Guan Xing said: "We Bokan Equipment Group has successfully taken the first step, and the future development depends on the efforts of everyone here. Next, Duan Ye, you have to worry more, as the chief engineer of the entire group, you are responsible for the formulation of production plans and the research and development of new equipment. The eldest brother is responsible for communication and coordination with the military to understand the problems arising from its use. Old Sun, the money bag is up to you to hold tightly, and use every copper plate on the blade. Liang Shan is also the deputy chief engineer, mainly leading the R&D work of the R&D department. All fourth-year students at Bokan College of Engineering come here to participate in R&D and technical work, and their graduation grades are judged based on their performance. In the future, the fourth-year graduating students of Bokan Engineering College will have to go through the internship here and obtain the graduation certificate only if they pass the grades, which will be the responsibility of Liangshan. Zheng Zhi: Your task is to manage and maintain the group's expansion and renovation and facilities and equipment. Is everyone's responsibility clear?"
"Yes," everyone replied in unison.
"What about our work?" said Liang Yu and Zhang Tianqi at the same time.
"Don't be in a hurry, there will be your business to do. Your first task now is to learn your own skills, and only when you are strong enough can you develop better. Also, after the sample comes out, it will be taken to the Bokan Military Academy for testing, Tianqi, you have to find out the problems in the process of using it and make more suggestions, this is the task I will give you. Guan Xing said.
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Zhang Tianqi puffed up his chest and agreed loudly.
"Xiaoyu, we are all old, there is only so much we can do for you, and the next thing is up to you young people. Now the military's thinking is outdated, and if you want to break the status quo, you must first gain the right to speak. Only after the tempering of the army and entering the upper echelons of the empire can the reform be carried out, and you don't let us down. Guan Xing said earnestly.
"Rest assured, I will live up to your expectations. Liu Yu said sincerely.
The day passed quickly, and the steel eye sockets of the first furnace were about to be baked. Everyone was waiting anxiously, and Duan Ye couldn't stop for a moment when he was busy. Personally confirm the time, check the technical parameters, and keep rotating around the ten blast furnaces, for fear that a mistake will lead to the loss of all achievements. Eventually, the fire was completely extinguished. The molten steel from a furnace was poured into the molds prepared in advance, and the fiery molten steel flowed happily, slowly filling the molds one by one. Gradually, the color of the molten steel turned dark red and solidified. The color grew darker and darker, and finally the original color of the steel was revealed.
When all the steel had cooled completely, Duan Ye knocked open the mold and took out the cast steel, and gently knocked it with a small hammer. Listening to the pleasant sound of "Ding Ding Ding", Duan Ye shouted: "Success!"
Immediately all the people cheered, one by one the cars rushed in, and the craftsmen knocked on the molds one by one, took out the semi-finished products inside, and put them neatly on the cars. Truckloads of semi-finished products are then transported to their respective workshops for the first step of processing. For a while, there was a crisp percussion sound, a clattering grinding sound, and a stabbing and stabbing cutting sound from various factories, forming a moving movement.
Duan Ye and Liang Shan excitedly shuttled through each workshop, inspecting and guiding the work of the craftsmen. Liu Yu and others also followed behind, silently watching, observing the process of each link. Time is passing quickly, and the semi-finished products are sent to the assembly workshop after rough processing, finishing and inspection. Here, the various parts are assembled according to the pre-designed drawings. The assembled finished product is then packaged, boxed and put into storage after several inspections.
In the assembly workshop, Liang Shan took a light crossbow that had just been assembled, raised it and aimed at it, then pressed the bracket, pulled the string, and released the bracket, only to hear the sound of "Zheng", and the string returned to its original state. Nodding with satisfaction, Liang Shan thought, the feel is not bad, the strength of the string also meets the design requirements, now only the accuracy is left and cannot be measured, and it is time to test this item after the first batch of finished products come out, and it will not feel too bad.
After a busy day, it was finally time to rest, and Liu Yu, Zhang Tianqi, and Liang Yu returned to the academy. "Big brother, I'm so sleepy, I'll go back first, you can send Sister Liang Yu back." After speaking, Zhang Tianqi ran back to his dormitory. Liu Yu had no choice but to send Liang Yu back, and when they broke up, Liang Yu asked Liu Yu: "I haven't seen you for so long, are you still used to living in the academy?
"It's okay, there's nothing I'm not used to, it's all good, it's very interesting to learn, I've learned a lot of things, and I feel much more fulfilling than before. What about you, now that you're in a new school, are you still adapting?" Liu Yu also asked with concern.
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's still the same as the old teachers and classmates. Recently I was studying the gun you gave me, and it was amazing, and I still don't understand its structure and principle, or how it was made. Can you make another one?" These days, Liang Yu has been playing with the pistol that Liu Yu gave her, but she has never understood the principle, so she took this opportunity to ask Liu Yu about it.
"Actually, it's not difficult to replicate it again, but I haven't studied how it uses to launch bullets, which is a difficult problem, and only by solving this problem can we finally replicate it successfully. Liu Yu scratched his head, he had been thinking about this question for a long time, and he had never understood the essentials. He had also taken the bullet apart and poured out the powder inside, which was so fine that it was difficult to tell the contents with the naked eye.
"It's not too early, you should go back and rest early, and you will continue to study tomorrow." Don't exhaust yourself, I'll see you again when I'm free. Liang Yu waved his hand to Liu Yu. "Thank you for sending me my pistol. After saying that, he ran away like a frightened bunny.
Looking at Liang Yu's panicked figure, he didn't feel a feeling of heartbeat, shaking his head, Liu Yu walked to his dormitory.
