Boom boom.

With a dull crashing sound, the small red-hot iron balls were picked up by the workers and put into the mold.

Subsequently, the stamping anvil fell heavily.

The small iron balls placed in the mold were pressed into the desired situation.

Then the workers pried open the mold again, took out the pressed projectile and quenched it.

A sharp projectile with a small tail was produced.

The whole process seems to be extraordinarily decompressing.

And this is the ammunition production field of Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen.

After the stamping is completed, there will inevitably be some flaws in the edges of these projectiles.

Therefore, it is also necessary for people to simply grind these cooled projectiles.

Built along the river, with the help of waterwheels to convert water power into kinetic energy.

Drives the stamping equipment in the field to perform simple and single work.

Although it doesn't sound like much.

But for this day and age, where everything is dependent on artificiality.

The efficiency of the waterwheel is already very exaggerated.

"The efficiency is not bad, and if it is only for the production of this kind of solid firecracker, it is more than enough to have this production speed. But if you want to produce one-piece ammunition, I'm afraid it's still a little difficult."

In the ammunition field, Chu Ze looked at the workers who were polishing the ammunition, and he was quite satisfied with the production line he had built.

Honestly, it's something that transcends the ages.

As soon as he saw it, his heart was full of pride!

"Seriously, we didn't expect that such a simple venue could have such terrifying productivity! I'm now looking forward to the production line of the assembly line that my brother is building. ”

"I don't know, the flow production method you said is good or not."

After Chu Ze finished visiting the ammunition production site, Zhu Di also shook his head on the side.

After a simple adjustment, today's ammunition production site, although there are only a few dozen people before and after.

But the ammunition produced was enough to supply thousands of people.

With such a terrifying efficiency, even if you need to refill ammunition in an urgent battle, you can completely catch up!

"Horror of productivity? Is this still terrifying? ”

After Chu Ze heard Zhu Di's sigh, he could only shake his head helplessly in the end.

"Aren't you satisfied?"

Looking at Chu Ze, whose eyes were full of helplessness, Zhu Di's brows furrowed inexplicably.

He felt that his ammunition production field was already very strong!

You know, just the dozens of people who produce more ammunition every day than thousands of people smelting iron together!

If it weren't for Chu Chuze, he wouldn't even believe that he could accomplish so many things with just one waterwheel, a few iron felts, and dozens of people.

But it's all come to this point! Chu Ze was still not satisfied.

"Now it's just producing solid ammunition, so it's naturally enough to keep up with the consumption."

"If it weren't for the fact that the man in charge of mercury thunderate accidentally blew himself up two days ago, maybe by now, the primer of the ammunition would have been eyebrow-raising."

"Once in the use of integrated ammunition then . Even if we only use a double-barreled shotgun, the soldier will be proficient and shoot ten rounds of ammunition a minute, and there will be no problem at all! ”

"Five thousand shotgun soldiers, as long as you do it, the amount of bullets consumed is terrifying!"

"Besides, if I make a shotgun, even if I ask someone to clasp it by hand, I have to have someone cut out the rifling for me."

"When the time comes, it's time to start experimenting with weapons like pistols."

"Once it gets to that point, dozens of people will have enough ammunition to support one person."

"Forget it.. With a flintlock pistol and this solid tail bullet, this is enough for the Ming Dynasty to run rampant for a few years. ”

"Let's go see your brother's assembly line production base first, and then take a trip to the palace by the way. Did the second brother get beaten up again when he went back yesterday? ”

Zhu Di, who had never seen the terrifying output ability of automated weapons, it was difficult for Chu Ze to explain the matter of weapons and ammunition to him.

And even if he explained, the other party probably couldn't imagine that kind of picture.

After visiting the ammunition production site, Chu Ze and Zhu Di drove towards another water conservancy factory.

The site here is much larger than Zhu Di's ammunition production site in comparison.

Here, it is the site where Zhu Biao built in advance to make flintlock pistols.

Firearms are not as good as solid ammunition, and they only need to be stamped simply, and they can be directly formed in one go.

And the structure here is more similar to a factory.

Everything is powered by the river not far away.

Huge waterwheels drive logs or gears to spin.

The iron-smelting area, even the one that pulls the bellows, is a roller.

And grinding, wood cutting and other work do not need to be manual.

There is a fixed cutting table, grinding table.

After the hydraulic transfer is carried out with the help of gears and transmission shafts, it is converted into a single operation of mechanical energy to complete these tasks.

Workers only need to put the things that need to be polished on the grinding table or cutting table.

The production of flintlock pistols is no better than ammunition.

The parts required are varied, and the production process is extremely cumbersome and exquisite.

If a single person wants to make a flintlock pistol, the time consumed alone must be calculated in days.

And you have to be a very skilled master.

Therefore, in order to catch up with the system, it can also carry out effective confidentiality work.

The assembly line production method began to be implemented.

Everyone only needs to make each part, or even only need to complete a certain process of a certain part.

After you complete this process, there will be a special person responsible for reviewing the size and quality of the finished things, and then the ones that meet the standards will be directly pulled away.

The same goes for those who assemble the part.

Those who were recruited to complete the assembly task had no idea what they were actually doing.

With a mobile production line, you only need to be responsible for the components according to your responsibilities.

Once the part is installed, the thing is returned to the assembly line and let it go down the assembly line.

Simple, single, mechanical work.

There's hardly any technical content in it.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Biao also followed Chu Ze's advice.

Women were recruited to work in factories.

In the factory, both men and women, as long as you are qualified for the job, you can apply for employment and get paid.

And the wages are not low.

The most important thing is that there is a special car between the flintlock pistol production yard and Ying Tianfu!

Four-wheeled extended carriage. Every day at a fixed point, there is a special car to pick up and drop off at a fixed place.

As long as you are not late, you can take the imperial court's car from Yingtianfu every day and you can directly reach the factory outside the city.

In the factory, there were guards of the imperial court to protect them.

On the way back, there are also guards to protect them.

You don't have to worry about danger.

Plus there is no such thing as secrecy

As a result of this initiative, many women from ordinary families have been recruited to work in factories.

The problem of manpower has never existed at all.

After visiting the two most critical factories, Chu Ze took Zhu Di to play in Yingtianfu.

When the two of them arrived at the palace.

Before anyone reached the imperial study, they heard a real angry scolding from inside.

"You rebel still dare to quibble! Let's ask you to bring people to us, and you tell us that people won't leave in your house? You bastard, let's see, you haven't been beaten enough! ”

"Daddy, I'm not lying! The woman from the Western Regions is really in her son's house! What the son said from beginning to end is true, father! ”

"People rely on you? Don't you know what you look like? What virtue do you have in yourself, and you don't have any points? Bring the rattan whip! ”

"Daddy and his son are wronged, and his son is really wronged!"

Outside the imperial study, listening to the sound of begging for mercy inside, Chu Ze and Zhu Di outside the door were stunned.

Isn't this yesterday's business over yet?

And listening to the meaning inside, it seems that you have to continue to fight!

"We. . Shall I avoid it first? ”

Outside the imperial study, listening to the noise inside, Chu Ze asked Zhu Di on the side with some hesitation.

And Zhu Di glanced sideways at the room, and couldn't help but think of his father's appearance when he was angry.

subsequently

This guy actually shuddered.

Then he nodded silently, just about to open his mouth in agreement.

Behind them, Queen Ma's somewhat blamed voice sounded.

"Chu Ze, fourth! You two are really, your second brother is guilty inside, and you all have arrived at the door, and you don't know if you can go in and persuade you, and you still want to run? ”

"It's really not a responsibility at all!"

After hearing Queen Ma's somewhat reproachful voice sound from behind him.

Chu Ze and Zhu Di, who were originally hooking their waists and eavesdropping on the side, suddenly exploded with the hairs on their backs.

After the two turned their heads a little mechanically, they found that Queen Ma had arrived behind the two of them at some point.

Moreover, at this time, the face seems to be very unsightly.

"That.. Mother of us. Hey, mother, you're light! It's a trivial matter to hurt my ears, I'm afraid I'll tire you! ”

"Godmother.. Godmother, godmother, I won't pinch my ears! Oops. Pain, pain, pain! ”

"You are all brothers, even Chu Ze, the godmother treats you as her own. When you see your second brother suffering, can't you take responsibility? If you don't dissuade you, forget it, and even instigate Lao Si to turn a blind eye."

Zhu Biao, who was following Queen Ma, looked at Chu Ze and Zhu Di who were being carried by Queen Ma one by one, and directly pinched their ears and carried them towards the imperial study.

He stood behind and laughed without hesitation.

However, no sooner had he laughed than he noticed that his mother was staring at him viciously.

"You're embarrassed to laugh as a big brother?"

"Ahh Queen mother.. I."

"What am I, don't come in yet!"

“.”

In the Imperial Study.

Chu Ze and Zhu Di, who wanted to run away, but were caught squarely, were standing aside with their heads down at this time, with bitter faces on their faces.

In front of them, there was Zhu Fan who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, his face full of grievances.

As the crown prince, Zhu Biao stood aside at this time, as if he was a child who had made a mistake.

And Lao Zhu was sitting on the throne, looking at Queen Ma with a rattan whip in his hand with some wistful eyes.

At this time, in the imperial study, all the palace people were dismissed and left.

Only a few people remained.

And the seven-foot men in this hall were all pinched to death by a woman at this time.

I didn't dare to take a breath of air

"Zhu Chongba! What do you want me to say about you! Did you really check the matter of the second child? I don't even want to check it, I'm shouting and killing here! ”

"Girl! What's there to check for this kind of thing? Who is he Zhu Lao Er, don't we have a little bit in our hearts? In addition to bullying men and women, what else can he do! Sister, it's not that we are talking about you, when we are teaching our son, you... You can't do that either."

"Father, son-in-law asked people to check what happened... Second brother, what he said is true! He was on the street at the time, mainly because he did detain those merchants from the Western Regions, and the woman from the Western Regions seemed to really like the second child, so she relied on him! ”

“.”

“.”

“.”

When Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to refute Queen Ma's words, Zhu Biao on the side seemed to be a little unbearable.

Leaned over and whispered in Zhu Yuanzhang's ear what he had found.

And when he heard Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still upright, suddenly widened his eyes.

His eyes were full of disbelief and stared at Zhu Fan who was kneeling below.

And Chu Ze and Zhu Di, who were standing on the side, were even more shocked at this time, and their jaws were a little closed.

What Zhu Fan said yesterday, this Tema is actually true!

"Father.. Look, Erchen really didn't lie this time! I'm really holding up those goods. And when Erchen was invited by Jinyiwei at that time, it was really the woman who dragged Erchen towards the room."

"Dad, you really wronged your son this time!"

After hearing that someone had washed away his grievances, Zhu Fan also cried to Zhu Yuanzhang with a handful of snot and tears.

He was beaten three times for this.

If he really bullied men and women, this time he didn't cause any death, and he didn't do anything substantial.

Is he such a dead duck with a hard mouth?

What he said this time is true!

And looking at the aggrieved and crying Zhu Fan below, Lao Zhu was also blindsided at this time.

They all say the name of a man and the shadow of a tree.

It's not because of the things Zhu Fan did before, so he directly decided that Zhu Fan was bullying men and women.

After calling someone to beat him up yesterday, the more Lao Zhu thought about it, the more angry he became, so he called Zhu Fan to ask again.

As a result, the goods did not let go, and then they were beaten again.

During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang had no idea at all, and he wanted to send someone to verify it.

Because, he didn't think that what Zhu Fan said would be the truth.

As a result, now Zhu Biao suddenly told him that Zhu Fan really didn't lie.

He really let a woman from the Western Regions take a fancy to him, and people are going to die on him

looked at Zhu Fan kneeling below in a daze, and it took a long time before Zhu Yuanzhang reacted.

However, after realizing that he was wrong to blame Zhu Zhang, he didn't mean to apologize or let his son get up at all.

He asked with a glazed and doubtful gaze.

"Is the woman in the Western Regions blind or has she never seen a man? Why did she fall in love with you! ”
