Chapter 300 Putting Into Production

In the equipment department, the craftsmen surrounded Xiao Ming in the middle.

The production orders came from Xiao Ming's mouth. This craftsman was responsible for forging the main spring, and he oversaw the forging of five hundred craftsmen.

There are five hundred craftsmen in charge of assembly, and seven hundred artisans in charge of butt production.

"Now you keep in mind the size of your own spare parts, and then forge according to the unified size standard. All parts with large errors will be discarded and must not be handed over to the assembly craftsman. If there are more than 100 dimensional deviations in the production of spare parts Five out of five, you can only punish according to the rules of the workshop."

There is a hint of warning in Xiao Ming's voice. He has always been extremely strict with production. There are too many fake and shoddy goods in later generations. This is a cancer for the industry.

Therefore, from the industrial place, he strictly created a rigorous spirit in craftsmanship.

For production, there is no so-so, only excellence.

The bolt and stock went into production, the rest was the barrel.

Zhang Liu has not been idle for the past month. He has been preparing knives. Compared with the gun, this technique is also very difficult, so Xiao Ming had to personally participate in this work.

This month, the equipment company has reserved some tungsten powder. Because the original carbon reduction method is adopted, the tungsten powder reduced each time always contains too many impurities. rare.

In modern times, Xiao Ming's method is a huge waste, but for him, this waste is worth it, because he doesn't need too many knives now, he only needs to meet the needs of Qingzhou. At most five hundred of each kind.

After all, the number of lathes in the water conservancy lathe workshop is no more than this number, and it is a waste if there are more lathes. It can be prepared accordingly when the number of lathes is increased.

Song Changping and others left, and Xiao Ming went to the backyard of the equipment department, where the craftsmen were sharpening knives.

After more than a dozen failures, Xiao Ming gradually realized that the process of calcining tungsten steel by using tungsten powder compression cannot be realized in Qingzhou for the time being.

The most important thing is that the mining volume of tungsten cannot keep up, and the amount of tungsten powder extracted is also very rare, and the current reserve of tungsten powder is only about two kilograms.

And this can't produce many tungsten steel knives at all, so he decided to retreat.

A few days ago, Zhang Liuli added a small amount of tungsten powder and chromium powder when smelting steel, and made an alloy that is harder than the current Qingzhou steel.

This cemented carbide, also known as ferrotungsten in later generations, is also one of the alternative materials for cutting tools.

This kind of cemented carbide adds tungsten as an additive to steel, and the quantity is generally small. In steel, it is dissolved in a small amount in molten iron. Because of its low solubility, it can only be added in a small amount.

As a result, the production of knives suddenly became formal.

Zhang Liu and his craftsmen also successfully produced the "tungsten steel" of this era.

"His Royal Highness, the tools of the boring machine and the tools of the milling machine are very smooth, but this drill is not easy to polish, but after so long, two pieces are always polished. Please take a look at it, Your Highness."

Zhang Liu came over at this time with two drill press tools.

The successful refining of tungsten steel is followed by the production of knives, which is coherent.

Holding the tool, Xiao Ming glanced at the hand-cranked grinder, which was the most suitable grinder in Dayu Country, which he had rummaged through these days.

This type of grinding machine is purely manual, generally two parallel wooden sticks, with a grinding wheel in the middle, and an iron rod passing through the middle of the grinding wheel and fixed.

The iron rod sticks out of the wooden stick, and the outside is the same as the pedal of a bicycle.

This kind of mountain machine can be cranked by hand, or it can be pedaled by a person by pedaling a bicycle.

As a result, the grinding wheel will turn.

Touching the twist drill that had just been ground, Xiao Ming said, "How long did it take to grind this drill?"

"A whole day." Zhang Liu sighed: "The boring machine tool and the milling machine tool are easy, but this one is always easy to break."

Xiao Ming nodded, this is normal, because knives pay attention to hardness, as the so-called hard and brittle, so it is easy to break.

He said, "Add some more people. At the end of this month, we will provide at least 100 drill bits to the hydraulic lathe workshop. This flintlock gun is short of the barrel."

Zhang Liu nodded, "Yes, Your Highness, I'll dispatch some skilled craftsmen to sharpen the knives."

After a month of night and day, Xiao Ming finally saw the hope of the flintlock gun.

It's just that there is not much time left for him. The barbarians in the north are eyeing them, and the Japanese country, which is separated from the east, is also evil.

He must race against time to consolidate his fief.

Handing over the drill bit to Zhang Liu, Xiao Ming said, "Send a few as you grind."

Then he went to Chen Wenlong and asked Chen Wenlong to go to the steel workshop to watch the production of steel bars during this time.

And he also told him the size of the steel produced.

Now that the flintlock gun produces piece by piece, he has waited so long for the tungsten mine, but he doesn't want to wait any longer.

Leaving from the equipment department, Xiao Ming was in a particularly good mood, and it seemed that the air became fresh at this moment.

The technology of Dayu Kingdom is far behind this era, and he started to catch up step by step from the beginning of artillery.

Now that the second hot weapon has also appeared, he finally calmed down a little, because he was always worried that someone would suddenly point a flintlock gun at his head one day.

Going to the palace, Xiao Ming, who was in a good mood, was about to ask Luluo to discuss a custom military uniform for himself. When he first arrived at the door, he saw Wang Xuan.

At this time, Wang Xuan's face was pale, his arm was bandaged, and he was very fragile.

"What's the matter!" Xiao Ming frowned instantly.

Wang Xuan looked a little tired. He said, "Your Highness, please tell me in the main hall." Wang Xuan also looked around when he spoke.

Xiao Ming nodded. Wang Xuan has always been very careful in handling matters. At this time, he was probably worried that the news would be leaked.

When the two arrived at the main hall, Xiao Ming asked, "What's going on?"

"We were betrayed and our identity was exposed on the grassland. If we hadn't met Colonel Lei Ming, the lower officer might not have come back." Wang Xuan said.

Then he recalled: "Since the last time we discovered that the barbarians were forging artillery, our secret guards sent a number of people pretending to be businessmen to infiltrate the capital. Xiaguan decided to go and find out in person. We did see barbarian artillery on the outskirts of Shengdu, but the appearance of barbarian artillery was somewhat different from our Qingzhou. Their artillery was yellow and green, and the barrel was thick and long. There are four or five meters." Wang Xuan said.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes immediately. The artillery described by Wang Xuan is a bit like the urban artillery in history.
