Chapter 844: The Sea Is Open


With the success of the steel frying method, Lu Hanqiang immediately burst with confidence, and shouted to Xu Jie, who was closely following him: "I want to expand the steel mill, you immediately go to negotiate with the bank headquarters, give me a loan, you must give me a lot of loans, I will use this steel mill and the steel that is about to be produced as collateral, immediately." ” As long as your loan investment is reasonable, as long as you can make money, then you will not have to worry about the operation of funds.

When the employees of the bank inspected the prospects of this steel mill, they immediately saw a bank's golden rice bowl, not only unconditionally lent to Lu Hanqiang, but also tentatively discussed with Lu Hanqiang, the bank will invest a part of the funds as shares in this cornucopia, which was of course rejected by Lu Hanqiang, the largest shareholder of the bank, or that sentence, the bank should do the bank's business, the steel plant should do the steel plant's business, this thing can not be confused together, otherwise it will collapse completely.

With a large amount of capital investment, Ao Han's steel plant was officially built and expanded with great fanfare, and at the same time, Lu Hanqiang promised again to the tribal people who depended on him that as long as the progress of mining kept up with the demand, the reward would be doubled.

Under the full coordination of eating and living in Ao Han Industrial Zone, yes, Lu Hanqiang called this place that, just half a year later, the steel produced by this steel plant not only met the needs of Lu Hanqiang's own army, but also directly sold to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and once again became Lu Hanqiang's money bag.

Ten years later, Lu Hanqiang opened up the steelmaking technology, and he trained thousands of technicians to go to the iron factories all over the Ming Dynasty, and the pace of Daming's conquest of the world really began.

With a large amount of stainless steel, it is possible to make a barrel that does not explode, and Lu Hanqiang decided to put the manufacture of fire control on the agenda of Japanese affairs, which is already a very urgent matter.

So Lu Hanqiang immediately wrote to Sun Yuanhua, begging him to send the best master to cast the cannon with his own steel, and then cast the barrel for himself, and start making the fire system.

After getting that Lu Hanqiang could directly train steel, Sun Yuanhua sighed at Lu Hanqiang's ability at the same time, and never forgot to blackmail Lu Hanqiang again, and the way to the result was blatant blackmail.

Because Sun Yuanhua simply sent 100 of the most skilled workers, directly using the method he had just invented to pour qualified barrels under Lu Hanqiang's nose, the speed was extremely fast and the efficiency was extremely high, so that the masters sent by the Ministry of Industry were simply ashamed and shameless.

But Lu Hanqiang could only pinch his nose and watch, and scolded Sun Yuanhua countless times in his stomach, using his own things, using his own venue, and then he had to hand over two taels of silver to Sun Yuanhua for each barrel, this is no longer blackmail, this is definitely a robbery.

Robbery can only be recognized, who let himself quietly imitate all failures, technology, this is the most valuable, there is no way.

Of course, Lu Hanqiang is not a fool, and he can't just let Sun Yuanhua rob himself, so Lu Hanqiang personally appeared, and for these skilled technical workers, he asked for warmth and warmth, redoubled his concern, and continued to improve the salary, the treatment continued to improve, digging the wall to make means, and did everything possible, and finally these numbers of workers were completely thrown into the arms of Lu Hanqiang, so that Sun Yuanhua, who was far away in Shandong, jumped to his feet and scolded Lu Hanqiang for being despicable and shameless, and as a result, Lu Hanqiang smiled with a shrug of his small shoulders.

With a qualified barrel, the manufacture of fires has become a reality, and the arquebus has fallen behind this era, that thing is too affected by the environment, especially at sea, the wet and salty sea breeze is a problem that must be overcome, since there are more than 100 skilled masters and their apprentices, Lu Hanqiang directly depicted a vague prospect for them, that is, flintlock pistols, of course, Lu Hanqiang was not a worker in the military industry in his previous life, and he didn't know how to make flintlock pistols, so he could only give, These workers provide a possible direction, and at this time we can only count on the wisdom of these workers, and Lu Hanqiang definitely believes that among the craftsmen in ancient China, there will definitely be no shortage of wise people.

As a result, this time Lu Hanqiang made an embarrassing joke, daring to love the flintlock pistol, in 1635, the Ming Dynasty firearms researcher Bi Maokang made it, when his book Armament Illustration was published in 1635 A.D. for the first time to introduce the flintlock pistol, which is called a self-generated firebolt.

The device of arquebus ignition was improved to use flint as the ignition device, thus overcoming the weakness of arquebus ignition that it was afraid of wind and rain.

When the flintlock pistol is placed on the firing device to fire, the shooter pulls the trigger, and the faucet placed on the trigger is struck by friction with the flint to form a fire, and the spark falls into the charging chamber, so that the gunpowder burns, produces gas thrust, and shoots the projectile out.

This kind of gun can be fired as long as the bolt is continuously pulled and the flint is struck, thus simplifying the firing procedure and increasing the rate of fire.

The flintlock pistol was a major improvement of the individual gun, and its transformation and completion were roughly the same period as in Europe, but it was not popularized in China in time, but unfortunately now the old scientist has retired from old age, and he is also riddled with diseases, and he can't get out of bed at all, but this time many of the craftsmen sent by Sun Yuanhua are his apprentices.

Look, how terrible it is to not understand history.

Since the flintlock pistol has been invented a long time ago, and Lu Hanqiang can now obtain high-quality seamless steel pipes, what are you waiting for?

As a result, the Fuliao Military Factory, with the full support and investment of Lu Hanqiang, was quickly completed and started.

With high-quality materials, a comfortable and good working environment, a generous salary, and a piecework reward and punishment responsibility system, Lu Hanqiang thought that the 20,000 flintlock pistols he asked for would be produced soon, but this time he was self-righteous again, and it was ten days after the official start of work, and the military factory gave him 200 flintlock pistols, and these 200 guns simply have their own characteristics, each has its own symptoms, and the unevenness is outrageous, you can't see at all that this is a mother's child.

This made Lu Han strong and angry, and he was angry at the director of this military factory: "Do you still think that I am a workshop of the Ministry of Industry, are you still doing the same set of methods as a slack worker, exempting you from the craftsman status and giving you generous treatment, you are still like this, is it true that people's hearts are not greedy enough?"

As a result, the factory director who rushed to report his merits, a guy with the title of a member of the Wupin Labor Department, was scolded inexplicably aggrieved, but he didn't know where to start with the explanation, so he invited Lu Hanqiang to the arsenal for a field trip to see if his fathers and brothers were as greedy as Lu Hanqiang said.

When Lu Hanqiang finished dealing with the documents at hand, he rushed to the military factory with the director of the factory, it was already dark, and as soon as he walked into the workshop of the arsenal, Lu Hanqiang was surprised to see that none of the masters and apprentices went home to rest, all of them were working hard under the light of pine oil torches, and the whole workshop was filled with a clanging sound, which was not an exaggeration to describe it as hot.

Lu Hanqiang would never think that this was the factory director doing a face-saving project for himself, because the factory director was not let go by himself at all, and he had no chance to return to the factory to inform.

Stopping the factory director from informing the workers of the arrival of Inspector Lu Hanqiang, he slowly walked along the long workbench, and found that beside these apprentices, there were baskets containing rice bowls, that is, their dinner was eaten at the workbench.

With such a spirit, how can you say that they are still slacking off, but where is the problem?

At this time, I walked to the side of a master and saw that he was making a part of a flintlock pistol in his hand, which seemed to be about to succeed, so the master put this part on the body of the flintlock pistol that had been formed, and after the master weighed it a few times, he shook his head painfully, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead, picked up the file, and began to repair it with a sigh, and after repairing it for a while, he compared it again, but it still didn't work, so he repaired it again, and so on and so forth.

It took nearly half an hour to attach this part to the flintlock pistol, then pick up the next part and start grinding.

And walking to the next young apprentice, this little guy was anxiously circling around the back seat of a gun, measuring with his hands for a while, and aiming with his eyes for a while, but the result still didn't seem to be able to grasp the point, so he asked a gray-haired old man next to him: "Master, I can't fit that barrel, why is this?"

As a result, the master impatiently put down the work in his hand, waved his slap, and looked at this kid, at that time, a five-fingered mountain was printed on his face, and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of this kid's mouth, and the kid stood there obediently and didn't dare to move.

The old master yelled at him: "I said, I said, you have to be two fingers deep, you see how deep you have dug" "Master, I'm digging two fingers deep."

As a result, the old master thunderously lifted the butt of the gun, put his two fingers side by side in it, and half a finger was still outside: "Is this two fingers deep, this is only one and a half fingers, you useless thing, look at the old man surnamed Wang is immortal."

As a result, an old man on the other side raised his eyes and grinned at him proudly.

"Look at other people's apprentices, I made half a gun in one day today, look at you, it's been two days, and I haven't even made one, how can you be worthy of the money and food of the Inspector, how can you be worthy of the benefits that the Inspector gave us, how can you be worthy of the civilian household registration that the Inspector invited us to cry, cry, if you don't make me half a gun today, you don't want to sleep, I will also personally go to the Inspector to ask for guilt, I am only willing to take half a month's salary."

Leaving this stern master, the aggrieved little apprentice, the director of the arsenal explained aggrievedly to Lu Hanqiang: "Master Inspector, the masters are grateful for your kindness, and they are working hard for you, where do you dare to slack off and be lazy, but this flintlock pistol is a delicate job, if a worker can get half a gun a day, at the end of the day, he can only sleep for two or three hours, and now the master and apprentices are already working hard, but, but."

At this time, Lu Hanqiang held the hand of the factory director and said apologetically: "I blamed Lord Wailang for my mistake, and I ask for your forgiveness." ” As a result, the factory director was so moved that he cried, but he said: "I'm sorry for the Inspector, I can't produce the quantity you want, you will remove me from my post now, I will personally go to the operating table to make you a gun." ” Lu Hanqiang laughed: "My factory master, don't be discouraged, I already know the crux of the problem, and I already have a way to quickly improve speed and quality," Hearing that there was a way to increase production, the factory owner immediately forgot his grievances and urgently asked Lu Hanqiang for advice.

Lu Hanqiang proudly stretched out four fingers to him and bent them down one by one: "It's just the standardization of tools, the production line, and the unification of components." ” As a result, the factory director looked at Lu Hanqiang's fourth vertical finger suspiciously.

After Lu Hanqiang looked at this extra finger, he said firmly: "It must be implemented." ” Tool standardization and production lines, it is easy to say, but you give this thing to the contemporary ancients, and their ability to accept it is definitely a maddening thing, but madness also has to be done, who makes himself a person who can work hard After Lu Hanqiang's drastic reform, and ten days later, the factory director once again happily reported to Lu Hanqiang, this time he brought Lu Hanqiang 500 flintlock pistols, and then look at these guns, the workmanship is fine and unified, this is definitely a mother's birth.

Seeing such an output, Lu Hanqiang expressed great satisfaction, and after conducting extreme experiments, it was determined that the minimum service life of these guns was that they could be fired fifty times in a row without damage.

So Lu Hanqiang immediately struck while the iron was hot, and once again started his little brain, and made a small invention, in order to solve the problem of moisture at sea, Lu Hanqiang invented the fixed gunpowder wrapped in oil paper, so as to let the soldiers rely on experience, in order to solve the problem of projectile air tightness, Lu Hanqiang invented the conical warhead, such a bullet stuffed him into the barrel, the sudden outbreak of hot flames, will make the bottom of the cone melt and expand, so that it is tightly attached to the inner wall of the barrel, overcoming the shortcomings of the poor air tightness of the ball projectile, so that it is so, so that the firing distance of the flintlock pistol has been doubled compared to the original distance.

If he didn't know how to do it, Lu Hanqiang would have wanted to invent the bullet directly.

It's just these few small inventions that have already made the masters of the entire arsenal worship the five bodies, and they no longer call Master Lu Hanqiang, but directly call the master. t1706231537:
