Iron Dynasty

Rule, the term used to be two tools of rule and rule before ancient times, rule is naturally a compass, rule is a tool used to draw straight lines.

These two tools became the originator of ancient measurement.

Precisely because of this, Xiao Ming doesn't need to bother about how to produce tools such as compasses and rulers, because the country already has them.

Now unified weights and measures are nothing more than improvement, not subversion.

So let Chen Wenlong bring a compass and a ruler, he measured the size of millimeters, and used the compass to cross the ruler against the millimeter size in the science and technology library. Each step of the compass is a millimeter. At this time, Xiao Ming then clicked the next point.

When a compass had traveled one meter, he stopped, and then continued to draw vertical lines on it, clarifying millimeters and centimeters, and marking them.

In order to pursue your precision, he was busy for an hour before he drew the ruler perfectly.

At this time, he looked at the ruler in the science and technology library, basically there was not much error, and he couldn't help it with micron-level errors.

Moreover, the ruler he drew by Qingzhou Industry is enough now. After all, the machinery produced at this stage cannot be error-free.

After making this ruler, Xiao Ming handed it to Chen Wenlong and asked him to produce it in accordance with the ruler's standards and apply the ruler to all workshops in Qingzhou.

"His Royal Highness, is it really okay to change the weights and measures of Dayu State?" Chen Wenlong is still used to the previous weights and measures, so when he saw the ruler, he was a little awkward.

Xiao Ming said: "This is not only a question of weights and measures, it is a problem of industry. If Qingzhou's industrial products are produced with this precision size, it will not be so easy for outsiders to imitate Qingzhou's products without using the same standard. When the lathe is put into use, Qingzhou may produce more sophisticated industrial products in the future. There is no such fine size how to produce it. Then the lathe will also need to be sealed."

Chen Wenlong seemed to understand but he did not understand, "It turns out that this is the reason, because the officials are stupid."

Then Chen Wenlong continued to ask: "His Royal Highness values ​​this tool now, does it mean that Your Highness wants a new masterpiece?"

When Chen Wenlong mentioned this, Xiao Ming's heart was upset. Now it is the 18th century. In modern times, the West has eliminated matchlock guns and replaced them with flintlock guns. Now Dayu State does not even have a flintlock shotgun. The pace of the next step is too great, basically equivalent to the steamship in the West in the late Qing Dynasty, while the Qing Dynasty still stayed in the era of sailing warships. "

Therefore, the reason why he is anxious about tools is that once the lathe has qualified tools, he starts to produce precision seamless steel pipes.

Yes, he mastered the technology of rolling iron and forging steel pipes, which can also be used to produce muskets.

But the production of artillery, steel workshops, glass workshops and other industries have already stretched the slaves.

So at that time, he had to have a choice between producing artillery and guns. In the end, he chose artillery, because artillery was technically easier to produce, and the iron-moulded gun technology was enough to allow artillery to be produced quickly.

At that time, the muskets had to be forged one by one by the craftsmen. Even so, the ability at the time was only able to produce arquebuses. The Battle of Cangzhou used hundreds of arquebuses to resist the 100,000 barbarian army. This arquebus was probably even on the wall. The effectiveness of bows and arrows is not as good, because according to data records, a well-trained matchlock shooter can fire 2 bullets every 3 minutes.

This terrible speed is also the reason why Xiao Ming did not intend to produce matchlock guns. Under the situation that the West may have completely eliminated matchlock guns, it is a foolish act to produce a backward gun.

So his goal is to directly produce flintlocks, shorten the generation gap of weapons, and not waste time to produce obsolete weapons.

However, this matchlock can also be used, because once the flintlock appears, it will inevitably cause the prying eyes of all forces in the great Yu country. At that time, it is also possible to push the matchlock as a shield.

Although Xiao Ming now has this idea, the structure of the flintlock gun is more complicated. This barrel is only one of them, and there is a spring in it, and the excitation structure needs to be manufactured.

These two things are not simple at all without a barrel.

In view of this, Xiao Ming didn't answer Chen Wenlong's question, but just made a haha ​​and passed.

After all, Chen Wenlong is an official, not a technician like Chen Qi. It is useless to say more.

Instructed to produce the tool and mold, Xiao Ming went to the palace, and it was noon after all.

When passing by the East Market, he suddenly heard a familiar melody coming. Hearing this sound, Xiao Ming smiled knowingly, this aster is very neat.

This big Yu Guo version of the white-haired girl is staged in the folk.

"Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, go and see with this king?" Xiao Ming asked with a smile.

During the last Spring Festival, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu were not in the palace, but returned home for the New Year. They learned that the drama in the palace was very exciting, and the two looked forward to it.

Moreover, the two had also heard the first word of the play, and at this moment they understood it.

"His Royal Highness, is this the white-haired girl?" Zhao Long and Zhao Hu said with joy.

Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, when you went home for the New Year, you didn't have a chance to see it. Now you can really watch it."

Hearing this, the two nodded.

After all, the three of them walked over to a stage in the East City.

The reason why Xiao Ming wanted to join in the fun was not to relive the drama, but to see the reaction of the people. He could expect this white-haired girl to spread to other vassal states through the people.

Only this can achieve his purpose.

"People's girls have spent my father's money and can't buy them..."

When the three arrived, Xi'er on the stage was about to finish singing his lyrics, and many people gathered around the stage to watch.

They keep their eyes on one by one. In such an era of lack of entertainment ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ there are too few entertainable projects. Today, with such ingenious dramas appearing, the people can't move their feet suddenly.

"What kind of drama is this? Why have I never seen it before."

"Yes, this singing is weird, but it sounds very nice."

"It is said that this is Chen Honest's troupe, who used to sing Liuzi Opera, how can I sing this now?"

"..."

Standing on the stage, the people's comments came to Xiao Ming's ears.

On the stage, Xi'er finished singing the opening song and began to enter the plot. At this time, the people's discussion stopped, but was indulged in the dramatic performance. This kind of grounded drama made the people quickly substitute .

Xiao Ming never watched the play. At this time, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu also stared at the performance on stage. With the conditions of the surrounding people, he nodded slightly with satisfaction. It seems that this new type of drama is very promising to spread among the people. Open.
