Chapter 57: Firearms
Although the technology patent system after a few hundred years has also had such and such defects, it is generally good and does not prevent Yingyi from learning from it.
"The term is set at 10 years," he said. Lapsed after ten years. In the past ten years, you have to forge two thousand catties of fine iron with your recipe, and you will have to pay one or two pieces of silver. If it is 20,000 catties, it is ten taels. 200,000 catties is 100 taels, and so on. ”
As he spoke, many thoughts came to him: "If you develop a new technique during this time, you will follow the same rules." ”
As soon as these few words came out, both Li Sansi and Pu Tiehammer opened their mouths in surprise.
"My lord, what you said can be counted?!"
Pu Tiehammer said urgently.
Ying Yi Zheng bowed his head: "Make a number, why don't you make a number?!" Unless I die in Yingyi, I will do it according to this rule. ”
He said to Jiang Xi: "Make a separate record of this matter, and the relevant technology should be entered in detail." According to the importance of each technology, the corresponding level of rewards and compensation is called, which is called technology patents. As for the importance of the technology, what level should be positioned, and how many patents should be obtained, you should discuss it with Master Pu and them, and come up with a charter for me to see as soon as possible. ”
After speaking, he said to Pu Tiehammer: "Every craftsman, as long as he has a unique technique, follows this rule." Of course, it is not mandatory, and it is done on a voluntary basis. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Many craftsmen around heard it, and they talked fiercely for a while. Li Sansi and Pu Tiehammer were even more tearful, and they couldn't stop fighting.
"You deserve it. Yingyi smiled and said: "In the past, no one paid attention to it, and they didn't understand the importance of craftsmen, but in my case, it's different. The craftsman is very important, and the skill of the craftsman is even more important. I just hope that the big guys will delve into some useful new technologies in the future, and they will all be rich and expensive by then. ”
Leaving the Huozi Workshop and going to the Jinzi Workshop, Pu Tiehammer was still immersed in joy and couldn't extricate himself.
When Yingyi asked him, he was still stunned.
"Are there any craftsmen in the Jinzi craftsman group who make guns and cannons?" asked him.
Pu Tie Hammer was stunned and said, "Make a firearm?"
Ying Yi's jaw head: "Firearms are quite powerful, both the court and the thieves have firearms. If I don't, I'm easily restrained. Although the current conditions are difficult and time is running out, although the manufacture of firearms will not be considered for the time being, it will be certain in the future. ”
Pu Tiehammer grinned, "Your Excellency is the right question. The little old man can make firearms. Three-eyed guns, nine-headed birds, and tiger squatting cannons all know how to make them. ”
"Oh?!"
Ying Yi was overjoyed and said, "Master Pu can make firearms?! ”
He pondered for a moment: "After this batch of 10,000 gun heads is completed, you will start to make firearms for me." After another pause, he said, "Let's focus on the light ones first." ”
The end of the Ming Dynasty was already the era of firearms, and there were many kinds of firearms, and their power should not be underestimated. Without firearms, they are inherently weak, and once they fight, the situation can be imagined in the face of the enemy's firearms troops. At the moment, Yingyi has no choice, nothing but to equip the spear first. But it doesn't mean that Yingyi doesn't pay attention to firearms. If you can't equip it for the time being, you should also be prepared to equip it with firearms.
And the power of firearms, Ying Yi has experienced. At that time, he was chasing and killing a tiger, and that night, he was caught off guard and was drilled in the arm by a fire gun, although it only broke the flesh and did not hurt the bones, but it was also because of Yingyi's strong physique. An ordinary person is hit on the arm, and it is basically a crippled end.
Hao Shaoqi attacked Ye County, and Zheng Yunzhi also relied on five tiger squatting cannons, so that Hao Shaoqi was defeated several times.
"If you want to say light, the three-eyed gun is only a few catties, and the nine-headed bird is more than twenty catties, which is not heavy. Seeing that Yingyi was so interested in firearms, Pu Tiehammer hurriedly said: "The tiger squat cannon is also the lightest cannon. But if you talk about power, the Furlong cannon is more powerful than the Tiger Squat Cannon, and the red-coat cannon is more powerful, and it hits far. In the case of the gun, the Lumi gun is stronger than the three-eyed gun. It's a pity that the little old man can't make these three things. ”
Ying Yi was already very satisfied, and said with a smile: "The technology of firearms has something in common. Take your time and study as you go. The technology comes out, and I will give you a patent too. ”
Pu Tiehammer grinned.
Then he explained in detail to Ying Yi the characteristics of firearms in this era, so that Ying Yi could better understand firearms. The firearms of this era were still relatively primitive, and most of them were front-loading firearms, which were ignited with a fire rope. Once it is raining and humid weather, it is not easy to use.
The difficulty in manufacturing firearms lies first in the manufacture of gun barrels and barrels. When it comes to airtightness.
It takes a long time to drill a hole in the middle with a whole solid iron rod, and it is not necessary to make a few in a month. Wrapping the barrel in iron sheets and the airtightness of the gun is not guaranteed. On top of that, there's the material constraint. In this era, the hardness of steel may have been reached, but the ductility or toughness was insufficient. It is used to make guns and cannons, and its service life is very short. Copper is more malleable but more valuable than iron.
Ying Yi listened, and occasionally interjected: "In other words, we must first solve the problem of materials, and then the problem of the barrel and barrel." I don't have any suggestions for materials, I hope you will study more and see if there are any formulas that can make steel more resilient. As for the barrel ...
His heart was spinning again and again, and he couldn't think of any good way. Yingyi doesn't have much knowledge of machinery and manufacturing.
"Let's dig a little deeper. He sighed: "Maybe with the help of water." ”
Pu Tiehammer said: "There is no suitable place in Bibo Valley. Right now, it's a drought again, and the mountain stream is shallow. The little old man knows how to start a water mill, but there is nowhere to start. ”
"Water mill?" Ying Yiqi said, "What is a water mill?"
Although he already had a guess in his heart, he couldn't help but ask.
Pu Tiehammer said: "Your Excellency should have seen a waterwheel, right? It's the same as the big waterwheel, but it's only slightly different..."
Then he said the principle of the water mill, and Ying Yi couldn't help but be amazed after listening carefully.
It is probably a kind of water-driven gear transmission structure machine, which can not only be used to drill the barrel, but also to forge and saw.
According to Pu Tiehammer, such a technique is commonly used in large workshops.
When Ying Yi listened, she couldn't help but be amazed by the wisdom of the people.
It's not that the ancients didn't have technology, it wasn't that they didn't have wisdom, but in the history of Zhuxia, technology was demonized and suppressed, and it was not taken seriously.
He thought on a whim: "Can we replace water power with animal power?"
He said, "It's like grinding with a donkey?"
Pu Tiehammer shook his head: "The idea of an adult, someone has tried it before. But animal power is not as stable as water power. There are times when the animals are stumbling. ”
Ying Yi was dumbfounded.
Indeed, if the machinery cannot be stabilized, the quality of the output will not be guaranteed, and it is better to build it all by hand.
