Xiao Ming was very concerned about this kind of air power, he decided to focus on the development of some weapons that can carry out air strikes, after thinking about it, he finally found Ding Jianpeng, or decided to develop some bombs! Some time ago, Xiao Ming had forced Ding Jianpeng to install a wooden handle for the latest grenade in the arsenal, so that there were two models of anti-personnel weapons, a grenade a little farther away, and a grenade a little closer!

Now the grenade is no longer ceramic, but made of cast iron, there are prefabricated fragments outside, the technology in this area is very mature, basically it consumes steel, and now the research and development base of Richanglong Iron Factory is still called Gu's refinery, because there is a royal pen plaque with the title of Emperor Huizong, Gu Shouzhen is proud! Xiao Ming also didn't let him change his name, but the function has changed, and the Gu refinery has basically become a steel experimental base, and the latest products in this area have their drawings, and then they make them by the Taiping Iron Factory in Xuzhou.

However, he also had a task, that is, to provide high-quality steel raw materials for the arsenal, but for example, the steel needed by the shipyard, the steel needed by Richanglong and the Mojia workshops were shipped from Xuzhou or Weihai, and the exquisite steel parts provided in ancient times were also needed by the Mohists, but this required some complicated procedures, which were temporarily taken by Xiao Ming to prevent proliferation.

But now Ding Jianpeng is suddenly no longer in his laboratory, and according to several Taoist priests under him, Mr. Ding has not been here for a long time and does not know what he is doing! Xiao Ming knew that Ding Jianpeng might be busy doing the experiments he had to complete, but he found Ding Jianpeng in the secret room of the Mo family's workshop! He was discussing some issues with a few Mo craftsmen, and it seemed that he was developing something!

"Why do you always want me to make you weapons? I don't do it! I have more important things to keep busy! ”

Ding Jianpeng lost his temper with Xiao Ming for the first time, and the craftsmen of the Mo family looked at them in surprise, in their impression, their giants were polite when they saw Xiao Ming, they had never seen that craftsman dare to talk to Xiao Ming like this, but Ding Jianpeng was different! Although this Master Ding is only in name, many of his whimsical ideas are even admired by Master Jin!

But Xiao Ming could only smile at Ding Jianpeng, "Brother Ding, how can air power be counted without bombs?" You really need to get this bomb! ”

"Isn't there an arsenal? You let those craftsmen build it for you, I'm making generators here! This is important! ”

"What generator? Oh, my God! Now this situation can't even be made with the coil, you have to help Brother Gu make the wire drawing machine first, Brother Ding, Lao Ding, your steps are too big, it's easy to pull the egg! ”

Ding Jianpeng's temper has been more irritable recently, and he said angrily: "Get out! Lao Tzu is going to test it, how? I'll wait until my experiment fails and then I'm going to build a bomb for you, and you say that the thing is basically mature, and you're going to find me? ”

"The bomb needs to be detonated with a delay, they can't do it, okay, don't be angry, I'll leave and keep you busy!" Three days is okay, right? Give you three days! ”

Xiao Ming was blasted out by Ding Jianpeng, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly! It seems that Ding Jianpeng is a little anxious, there is no energy is bound to produce many things, although there is a lot of information in his computer, but for many introductions in the history of scientific and technological development, the more detailed ones are the use of electric energy, for the current situation that has just completed the application of steam power, no wonder he is in a hurry!

It seems that you can't just count on one person's energy, you are already squeezing Ding Jianpeng, Xiao Ming is also afraid that Ding Jianpeng will not be able to bear it, now it seems that you must dig out the wisdom and subjective initiative of many other craftsmen, what method to use? In fact, Xiao Ming already has a way, that is, heavy rewards and honors!

After so many years of development, not to mention the craftsmen under the jurisdiction of Richanglong, there are more than 1,500 craftsmen in the Xicheng Iron Works of Gu's Refinery alone, and these craftsmen belong to different crafts, such as stokers, reversible flow, mold casting, forging and other craftsmen on the steel line, as well as molds, carpentry, sheet metal, grinding and polishing, blowing, wire drawing and other auxiliary craftsmen, plus general workers and apprentices, the number has been close to 3,000 people!

In addition to the craftsmen of other factories such as lime factory, glass factory, cement factory, etc., even Ding Jianpeng's chemical laboratory is called a craftsman, there are more than a hundred people, some of these people are very talented and creative, such as the last iron seven-piece set is a good suggestion from a blacksmith in Gu's refinery, so these people not only have to give them heavy rewards and honors, but also have a whole set of craftsman hierarchy to manage.

Xiao Ming is initially divided according to the first-level craftsman, the second-level craftsman, the third-level craftsman and the stunt craftsman, the treatment of each level of craftsman is different, all the craftsmen who can make inventions and creations, as long as they are recognized, they must be given heavy awards, and medals will be awarded.

This kind of economic interests are linked, the policy of supreme honor supplemented by the policy immediately played a great role, the craftsmen's creative enthusiasm was mobilized in full swing, some small inventions continued to emerge, many technical difficulties were overcome, the craftsmen of the arsenal quickly completed the function of bomb delay, they adopted a gear conversion method, through gravity to drive the gear to slowly delay the bomb detonation time.

When the balloon was tested at sea, Xiao Ming threw the bomb from the hanging basket, and there was a delay of five to ten seconds from the bomb to the explosion, and the water waves set off by the explosion rose into the sky, and the shell was modified with a cannonball, which fell into free fall downward, and there was no concept of installing a tail, but Xiao Ming had this idea, and after installing the tail, the method of thunder mercury detonation could be used.

This technical breakthrough is the power of the collective, many craftsmen participated in the invention, Xiao Ming immediately gave a heavy reward, no one twenty taels of silver bounty plus gold medals, hammer and brush cross, different from the military medal of the tiger guard, and the level of these craftsmen was raised by one level, and the treatment was also increased accordingly, and the craftsmen rejoiced, which drove the enthusiasm of all the people in the entire Richanglong craftsman system.

This set of craftsman hierarchy system did not include the Mo family, because they had their own set of master craftsman system, but the Mo craftsmen always gave people the feeling of working behind closed doors, so Xiao Ming talked to Song Wu several times, and asked him to supplement the Mo family's craftsmen to the first-line factories, which not only enriched the technical force but also increased the manufacturing capacity of practical application.

Song Wu is also considering, now the Mo family has declined, the Mo family doctrine not only can not be carried forward, and the Mo family is proud of the mechanism has gradually lost its advantage, the new rise of the craftsman system has made the application of the Mo family's mechanism also greatly discounted, it is better to sit back and watch the decline is better to follow the trend, the Mo family has a tradition of ingenuity, how is it a kind of behind-the-scenes organization, it can bring craftsmen more refined tool thinking, so as to expand the influence and spread of the Mo family among the handicraftsmen, Song Wu after careful consideration, finally agreed to Xiao Ming's request.

Richanglong's business is thriving, the development of each factory is also very stable, and the various persons in charge who are promoted from it are doing their best, Xiao Ming will save a lot of worry, Su Fu's funeral is over, Su Caier will have to keep filial piety for three years, and the affairs of the senate will be handed over to Xiao Ming, fortunately, Xiao Ming is the chairman of the senate, and he can't delay things, but he also needs to keep filial piety as a son-in-law, but he still has to decide on major matters.

The time soon came to autumn, Xiao Ming accompanied the two wives every day to go boating on the West Lake, fishing, nothing to do in the garden to enjoy the flowers, listen to Cai'er playing the piano, listen to the bottle of children's songs, but also leisurely, only in the study at night to look at the accounts summarized in various places and Liaodong and Xuzhou, Shandong and other places to bring the love of flying kites, he finally has a sense of home.

Xiao Ming basically didn't go out for a while, but when Ding Jianpeng came to the door and asked him to approve the silver to build a lathe, he followed a trip to the factory, according to the principle of the original nest car, the craftsmen now invented several strange lathes, using the refined carbon steel tools of Gu's refinery, cutting metal is very labor-saving, so Ding Jianpeng wants to make a large number of lathes, the key is that steam power has been solved, not like the original use of animal power.

Xiao Ming threw the authority of the chief technical engineer to Ding Jianpeng, you look at the solution, ask for money and money, take your own idea, he hid back at home, the reason is that Shen Bei'er actually had a pregnancy reaction after three months of marriage, after learning the news, Xiao Ming was overjoyed, so he was with the bottle when he was fine.

But it didn't take long for such a good time to come, Liaodong came with flying kite information, and the Goryeo Kingdom was treacherous and sent troops to seize Laiyuan City, and now it is divided into three ways to attack Huifa City, and cross the Yun River to enter Kaiyuan City! Kaiyuan is only a few hundred miles away from Tokyo, and Xiao Ming's Dongdan Prince's territorial town Kaizhou is also directly under its threat.

Xiao Tzu is not in a hurry, due to the surrender of Dong Zhongsun to Goryeo, and now the Goryeo army is very fierce! Ask Xiao Ming to send reinforcements! Xiao Ming couldn't help but secretly scolded Xiao Tart for not being wild, he could only be a general, not a commander, commanding 150,000 soldiers and horses in Dongdan Town, and always unable to win the battle, it seems that his Hangzhou vacation is coming to an end! But how can I be willing to leave!

Su Cai'er said: "You have been working hard in Liaodong for so long, how can you lose it easily, don't worry, there is me at home, I will take care of her!" Su Cai'er is also bitter in her heart, her father has just passed away, and now her newlywed husband is leaving, although she has had sweet days in the past few months, she feels more attached to Xiao Ming in her heart.

"I'm not by your side with Bottle, but I know that Bing'er takes care of you, this girl has a deep affection for you, if it's suitable, you can take it!"

"Ahh I don't have that in mind! Xiao Ming hurriedly humiliated, "Besides, her identity is not simple, she is still a princess ......, how do you know that she is interested in me?" ”

Su Cai'er said: "You! Can you guess what other girls are thinking? I've been observing her for a long time, no matter what identity a woman is, as long as she has sustenance in her heart, even if she is a beggar on the street, she will have no hesitation, you don't understand this! ”

Xiao Ming sighed: "Thank you Cai'er, having a wife like you is really a blessing that I Xiao Ming has cultivated in several lifetimes!" When it's time for me, I'd rather retire with you and Bottle in West Lake in the future! ”

There was a lot of sentimentality about the separation, and finally Su Caier wrote a lyric and sent it to Xiao Ming, which was a song "Jiang Yue Ling"

The weak willow is not frightened by the cold wind, and the blue sky is still bent

Chu people's boudoir dreams of Luo shirt. Gong Jin is always with you.

How can a cold night be desirable. Wake up and go back to sleep.

Thinking about lingering again last night, I can't help but feel confused.

Xiao Ming was speechless when he saw the words, and sighed in his heart: "Women are amorous through the ages!" ”
