Chapter 302

"Marshal, will the Wu Dynasty attack the camp with fire?"

Fire prevention measures, from before the start of the fire, were emphasized in every way in the Song army, in order to prevent fire, the fuel consumed every day for snow melting accounted for almost forty percent of the daily supply, and the camp selection was even more cautious.

Even if you consume it, it's hard to eat.

"As I said just now, the weather can kill!"

Yue Pengju patted the other party's shoulder, "In ancient times, how many people were killed by blades and arrows, but how many were killed by ruthless water and fire?" In terms of efficiency and scope, all the people did not rely on nature, the water of the south, and the fire of the north, and how many classic battles were not achieved because of this? ”

"Forty years ago, the Wu Dynasty took advantage of the cold winter to force back all sides!"

How terrifying the power of the cold is, only those who have experienced it will understand that in that freezing environment and splashing water into ice, the elite soldiers who are fully armed are no different from the naked people, but they will suffer great losses because of the blades in their hands.

With such a thing, Yue Pengju couldn't think that Zhang He would let it go.

Especially, it's snowing soon!

The Song Dynasty did not have the local Tian Lao of the Wu Dynasty to give celestial predictions, but the 24 solar terms changed, and the celestial rhythms north of the Yellow River were also collected.

The Wu Dynasty in November may not be at its coldest yet, but the celestial phenomena are enough to kill people.

……

"It's hot!"

The palm-sized hand stove danced between the palms and the palms repeatedly, and only after a toss did it land firmly on the table.

"It's really hard to imagine how powerful such a small thing is, if you put it in your pocket, wouldn't people be able to move outdoors for a long time?" Huang An lay on the table and looked at the hand stove in front of him, which had shrunk four or five times.

He had seen the furnace before, and he used it even more when he was a child.

However, because of the size, inconvenience to carry and other reasons, the use of the Wu Dynasty was limited to the carriage compartment, who made the furnace unable to pour, once the flame fell out of the tilt, it would form a scald at the lightest, and burn something directly.

But this inexplicable little object in front of him, and his palm repeatedly fluttered, tossed back and forth, but there was no problem, except for some smells that were unacceptable for a while, as if there were no other problems.

"You deserve it, who made you not there!"

In three days, the first batch of nine Huai Furnaces were made on time, what is this, this is the result?

No one thought of it!

The core solution of the equation is emphasized in every way, and how it will be solved after the fire set is replaced.

"It's a clever idea to use the fire device, but how long can this thing last now?"

The fire set is a gathering of the efforts of the ancient generals, and it can keep the spark inextinguishable in a low-oxygen environment, but I really don't know what the effect will be after such improvements.

The Zhonghuai stove he remembers, which can continuously dissipate heat for up to six hours in a low-oxygen environment, can meet the needs of outdoor heating for a day.

"You can rest assured that Mr. this, don't look at the small stove, but the internal space is much larger than the fire set, the filling amount is more than twice that of the fire set, although the degree of combustion has been increased, but we have also added fire oil, how a piece of the stove, there is no problem at all to burn for an hour or two, and in the process, we have also done a dismantling ......" said Shang Zhong took out a furnace that had not been lit, and disassembled it up and down and pointed to the excuse, "From this original opening, you can add fire oil, if necessary, you can disassemble and refill the fire!" ”

"Ordinary people may not be able to rush into the sky, but there are many veterans of the Wu Dynasty, more or less have outdoor life experience, stuff a handful in your pocket, prepare a few small cans of fire oil, and it is no problem to stick to the outdoors for four or five days, and you can peel off the fire if necessary!"

"What about the cost?"

There are thousands of ways, as long as the goal is achieved.

Outdoor heating is just needed in the north, there is no choice to resist hard, some choose the equation to believe that this compromise will become the choice of most people, if the cost can go down, luxury goods can not be done, can also become a common product, isn't it?

Regular supplies, small profits but quick turnover, earning may not be less!

"The cost is mainly in the inner tank materials, and the outer tank processing, the former probably needs to use fourteen copper plates of copper, a coppersmith can probably hit more than 20 pieces in a skilled situation, the outer tank materials are about three dollars, but you can directly pour on a large scale, the rest is grinding, thirty or forty pieces a day is still no problem, the key is to equip this piece, need a little debugging!"

The use of abrasives is itself a shortcut to mass production of blades.

If every blade is really to be hammered out by a blacksmith, then the establishment of the Ministry of Industry of the Wu Dynasty will not be able to meet the demands of the front line even if it is expanded several times.

Sand molds have long been the management of the smelting foundation blades of the Ministry of Industry of various countries.

Therefore, the equation is not surprised by the mold plasticity of the outer tank, but only surprised by the accuracy.

"How long will it take to solve the mold problem?"

"I have already started to do it, because it involves precision, assembly and assembly, it may take four or five days of effort, but those masters have said that even if the final accuracy is different, it can be solved when assembling, and it is no problem to assemble one or two hundred pieces in one shift!"

Shang Zhong is not a mess, take out the results, and there are still preparations.

The manufacturing warehouse of the Ministry of Industry, for the management of craftsmen, is divided into three levels: large class, class and first class from top to bottom.

Liu class master, that is, the moderator of the carpenter class, and there are four big class leaders in the same column, respectively representing blacksmiths, stonemasons, leathermasons, felt makers, there are no official products in the past, but they are the representatives of the craftsman group, and they can have a direct dialogue with the Ministry of Works.

But don't underestimate the establishment of the class, the size of its establishment has nothing to do with itself, as for the number of foremen under the subordinates.

With the Wu Dynasty as the force, under the hands of a foreman, the few are in charge of dozens of people, and the more is to manage hundreds of people, and as the carpenter of the hands of hundreds of workers, there are currently fourteen carpenter classes in the Ministry of Industry, and there are as few as two or three foremen under each of them, and as many as four or five foremen, and there are three or four thousand good people in the forest.

"One or two hundred pieces in one shift, less!" Huang An picked up the furnace that was still warming, "This thing looks small, but it is definitely a treasure for the outdoors, the cavalry travels, one on the left and right, and one on the chest, which is definitely enough for the cavalry to be active for three or four hours!" ”

The cavalry is not easy to dispatch in winter, and the real reason is not in horsepower, but purely because people can't stand it.

It's okay not to wear armor, no matter how much you wear inside after wearing armor, people are like being stuffed into an ice cave, relying solely on their own heat, they can't bear the cold at all, but if you stuff a few small hot objects inside, the situation is completely different.

Frostbite is transferred from people to horses, and the number of days that light cavalry can be active each year can be extended by at least half a month, and heavy cavalry can be extended by one month.

What is the war fought?

Isn't it just a surprise to hit someone?

Just imagine, when everyone thinks that the light and heavy cavalry of the Wu Dynasty cannot move on a large scale, a mixed cavalry of tens of thousands of people comes out of the mountains and forests under the severe cold and strong winds, and all of them have hot hands and feet, so what will be the next scene?
