Chapter 053

The Ning Navy is responsible for exterminating the bandits in Shandong, but there are too many bandits in Shandong, there are more than 20 units in the Ning Navy alone, which has already formed a scale, and there are even more amateurs who are usually good citizens and occasionally work part-time as bandits or robbers.

Cheng Shijie remembered that he had read an online novel before, and the protagonist of the novel was a Jinyiwei, who sold Jinyiwei's small flags, which was also a disguised protection fee.

In fact, this kind of thing, many people are doing, just like the current Five Tiger guerrilla general Zheng Zhilong, he relied on collecting protection money at sea, fed the Zheng family's army of 40,000 troops, more than 3,000 large and small warships, and became the king of the South Seas.

Ning Haijun can also take this way, sell the symbol of Ning Haijun to businessmen, which bandit does not open his eyes, then destroy whoever first, over time, Ning Haijun's reputation can also be beaten.

Cheng Shijie thought of this, and pretended to mutter: "This matter ...... It's not easy to do! ”

The subtext that is not easy to do, that is, it can be done, it needs a price, and it is impossible to be red-mouthed and white-toothed.

As a businessman, Gu Shizhang is also proficient in human accidents, and when he heard Cheng Shijie say this, he said with a smile on his face: "Naturally, I won't let Cheng Shoubei work in vain!" ”

Cheng Shijie handed over the specific negotiation matter directly to Song Xiance, and he continued to return to the Gun Bureau, and now he is most concerned about the imitation of the Thunderbolt.

Although the Thunderbolt is relatively cumbersome and does not have high shooting accuracy, the problem is the density of eighteen consecutive shots, which is indeed a big killer, especially in the face of cavalry charges.

In the future, when the Ning Navy faces the charge of the Jiannu cavalry, if it has dozens or hundreds of thunderbolts, thousands of rounds can shoot two hundred paces of guns, forming a dense rain of bullets, you can make Jiannu kneel down and call Dad.

When Cheng Shijie came to the gun bureau again, he watched more than 100 craftsmen drilling cylindrical solid steel pipes with drill bits, and dozens of craftsmen processing several drilled barrels, grinding the inner wall smooth, ready to load the gun.

Looking at the struggling appearance of the craftsmen, Cheng Shijie suddenly felt that maybe it was a mistake for him to plan to equip a large number of Thunderbolt guns, according to their drilling method, he had to drill until the Year of the Monkey to drill a gun barrel.

Cheng Shijie coughed.

The surrounding craftsmen found out that it was Cheng Shijie who arrived, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Meet the garrison!" ”

Cheng Shijie looked at a craftsman who was wiping the sweat from his forehead: "At your speed, how long does it take to drill a barrel?" ”

"It takes more than a month to drill an inch in a day, but it takes more than a month to drill a good one."

"More than a month!"

Cheng Shijie sighed: "It's too slow!" ”

In later generations, the seamless steel pipes made by any small metal processing plant were enough to fill the entire Ninghai City, and the seamless steel pipe production line of Hangang Group was even more incomparable.

"Lord Garrison, this is fast enough, if you want to produce more guns, you can only increase the manpower!"

Cheng Shijie began to think that in the pen of some authors of online novels, the way the barrel is made is to first beat a piece of fine iron out of a thin iron sheet, then engrave rifling on it, and then roll up the iron sheet, and the big problem that has plagued the Europeans who invented rifled rifles for more than 200 years has been solved.

If this trick really works, then what kind of strong crossbow does he play, what arquebus does he play, and he directly plays the Minnie gun to torture Jiannu!

In the absence of an impact machine, how thin is it necessary to hammer the steel block into an iron sheet, and it can be easily rolled up? Knocking the iron sheet with a hammer, under the condition of ensuring uniform thickness, how many such craftsmen can be found in the entire Ming Dynasty? This must be at the master level in order to achieve that the error meets the requirements, the problem is, hot melt welding is the most unstable welding technology, such a barrel leaks everywhere, where is the range of the rifle to speak of?

In the later generations, the steel pipe production of Hangang Group was mainly divided into two types, the steel pipe with gaps was rolled into a pipe with steel plate, and then welded, except for the high point of the weld, non-destructive testing, and flying saw cutting and sizing.

Such steel pipes are no problem for products that do not require strict civilian grades, but for high-pressure resistant pipes, they must be produced into seamless steel pipes.

Even in later generations, the production of seamless steel pipes also requires high technical difficulty, seamless pipes first heat the square billet, put it at the mouth of the mother die, and the male mold quickly rotates and squeezes in, and the size of the steel pipe produced is not good. In order to obtain a large number of precision seamless steel pipes, it is necessary to heat treat, pickle, saponify, cold draw, and cold roll the hot-rolled steel pipes.

The surface roughness of a good cold-rolled pipe is only 0.8 microns, of course, the cast iron pipe is cast, and the centrifugal casting is currently a more advanced production process, but the problem is that these equipment are too large and too heavy, and steel production is a system engineering, and the energy consumption is large, and the production of crude steel is relatively simple, but the problem is that even if the steel production efficiency of Hangang Group has reached the world-class advanced level, the problem is that a ton of steel also needs more than 400 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

If you want to copy the steel production line of later generations, it is almost impossible, the photovoltaic power plant is the biggest problem, with electricity, you also need to have transformer technology, transmission technology, coupled with a high degree of integration of the operating system, don't look at Hangang Group has nearly 400,000 employees, but the workers on the front line of the production line only account for 10%, most of them are management and logistics personnel.

Not to mention replicating a steel mill at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if an advanced steel mill is opened in relatively backward Africa, it will require hundreds of thousands of tons of equipment to be transported.

As a professional in metallurgical technology, Cheng Shijie had to adopt a relatively primitive shaft cold casting process, which can produce a relatively rough steel pipe, the principle is also very simple, after the molten steel is out of the furnace, through the cooling tank, the molten steel flows into the mold in the shaft, as the molten steel falls, and then uses the effect of gravity, the steel pipe will be slowly produced in the shaft.

Once a well of steel pipe is produced, the steel pipe will be raised from the shaft, but there is a very serious problem, that is, once the mold is not fully preheated, it contains water, and the molten steel will explode when it encounters the mold, which is more powerful than black powder or even more than TNT.

However, no matter how difficult it is, this project also needs to be done, and the steel pipe produced by the shaft process technology is the most efficient way.

For this reason, Cheng Shijie began to get busy, he returned to the later generations, and used the internal channels of Hangang Group to obtain the technical information of the shaft production process, which are all obsolete technologies, but they are not leaked information.

While Cheng Shijie was busy manufacturing shafts to produce steel pipes, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, took Geng Zhongming, a general of Fubiao, and a transport team into the range of Ninghai City.

It was still twenty or thirty miles away from Ninghai City, and I saw a sign erected on the side of the official road, which read "Military Restricted Zone, Business Travel Detour" eight big characters.

Sun Yuanhua looked at these eight big characters and frowned slightly.

"Stop coming!"

Suddenly, a raised snow bag was originally exposed, revealing a head from inside, this snow bag is actually a sentry post, this is a nest about five meters long and more than two meters wide, on the surface it is a snow bag, and it is camouflaged with dead branches hanging with snow, if you don't walk to it, there is no way to find the problem.

On the originally smooth road, there was a row of spear-like rejection horses, that is, a wooden shelf, on which were inserted a dozen spears, when the spears fell to the ground, there was no abnormality at all, with the rope pulled, more than a dozen spears obliquely towards the convoy.

"Who are you, please show your identity!"

Geng Zhongming drank a stomach of cold wind along the way, and it was the evil fire in his stomach that there was no place to emit, and he said angrily to the soldiers of the Ning Navy: "This is the material sent to your Ning Navy, don't let it go!" ”

"Whoever comes report the name!"

"Get out of the way"

Seeing Geng Zhongming's arrogant attitude, one of the soldiers immediately took out a firework, quickly lit the fuse, and with the sound of "Peng", the fireworks exploded in the air.

Not long after, a firework also exploded in the distance. It seemed endless, and every time a signal flare rushed, there would always be gongs and drums, and sharp-eyed people could already see that there were large groups of military households rushing towards this side in groups.

These military households have received a little bit of training, and although they are in a hurry, they still consciously line up, and they really have a bit of an army flavor when they march together.

Almost in a short period of an hour, three or four thousand military households appeared densely on the entire official road, and these military households seemed to be pouring in like a sea of mountains.

After Cheng Shijie set up the garrison of the Ning Navy, he did not organize the Zuo Qianhu according to 1000 households, but organized all the personnel except the carriage factory, the salt factory, the iron ore and steel mills, the textile factory, the kiln factory, the quilt factory, the gun and artillery bureau, the crossbow bureau, and the mill into military households, including the displaced people.

At present, there are only three kinds of people in the Ning Navy, either craftsmen and workers, or Tuntian military households, or Ning Navy officers and soldiers, as long as they are adult men, all of them are incorporated into 100 households, and now the Ning Navy has 57 hundred households.

Cheng Shijie seized a bunch of broken copper and iron from Qin Wuhe Zhen Sanshan, and many swords were pieces of iron, and Cheng Shijie originally planned to recast these iron materials, but later found that after the iron ore was put into production, he was no longer short of iron, so these broken copper and iron were distributed to the military households.

What military households want most is military merit, because military merit can be distributed to land, while ordinary military households in Tuntian are only responsible for farming, except for soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the Ning Navy or soldiers who have died in battle, they will allocate land.

These military households want to go crazy when they want land, and they wish that there would be bandits who don't open their eyes to come and exchange their lives for their future, which is originally the duty of military households, and now, their opportunity has come.

Geng Zhongming was instantly dumbfounded, what was going on?

Sun Yuanhua was also dumbfounded.

PS: I've written it so far, I've sent it first, and I'll revise it after dawn, so let's make do with it.
