Iron Dynasty

The siren of the steam engine sounded from time to time in the military workshop. Chen Qi walked from a distance, but his voice was suppressed by the long beep.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ming stopped to look at Chen Qi, and only understood what he was talking about when he came closer and asked.

"Really?" Xiao Ming asked again.

Since adopting the converter steelmaking technology, he has confidence in the quality of Qingzhou's steel. Now the advanced production technology is enough to make Qingzhou's steel reach the level of the 19th century.

And this level is enough for him to promote the industrial revolution of the country, because the quality of steel has met the manufacturing needs of most machinery.

Among them, the standard to distinguish the quality of this steel is to use current steel to make artillery. If it can withstand the strength of the artillery, it will not be a problem to transport it to other places.

"His Royal Highness, half a year ago, the military workshop used the steel produced by the steel workshop to cast a cannon. We have been using this cannon for shooting for the past six months. This cannon is not a bronze cannon in all respects." Qi stated.

Xiao Ming nodded. This shows that the quality of the new type of steel has passed the test, and the strength standard can be used as gun steel, so that he can save copper to make other things. After all, Great Yu is now a copper-poor country.

"In that case, the output of this field gun should be able to increase." Xiao Ming asked.

Generally speaking, the number of artillery in the army is still relatively small. The total number of field artillery is no more than two hundred. These field artillery can be used in a war, but if facing two wars, it is not enough. And now Xiao Ming There are colonies like the Three Mountain Kingdom overseas, and standard weapons are also required in the colonies.

Chen Qi smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, this is what the lower officials want to talk about. Now it is no longer a problem to use steel to cast field guns. In this way, the workshop does not need to worry about copper, but now I don’t know how much is needed in the army. A field gun."

"It should be enough for the time being to produce three hundred more field guns in the army to reach five hundred." Xiao Ming said with a deep groan.

For him, the field artillery was mainly aimed at the barbarians. After all, compared with the heavy artillery before, these artillery can be easily transported on the grassland. He has not forgotten this barbaric nation that caused suffering to the country, and in order to realize the great Yu China’s ZTE, this hidden danger in the north must be resolved.

"Yes, Your Highness, the next official will arrange for the craftsmen to continue production." Chen Qi said.

The three of them talked about the production of firearms. According to Song Changping, he and Lin Wentao are trying to establish an assembly line with a steam engine as the core.

This assembly line will integrate gun barrel manufacturing, standardized production of spare parts to final assembly one-stop production. The first two are realized by steam driven lathes. Now some of the lathes in the lathe workshop have been transferred to the military workshop, drilling machines, Both milling machines and grinders are available.

"This matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. For this reason, you have to set up a craftsman who specializes in inspecting the size of parts." Xiao Ming hesitated and said.

At the time of Western industrialization, standardized and refined production was transported to various factories, among which were the inspectors who took the toolbox to check the product qualification rate.

Now Lin Wentao and Song Changping are preparing to realize the production of steam power in an assembly line. This is inevitable.

"Lin Wentao also said about this. He has sent a batch of tools for measuring dimensions to the military workshop." Song Changping said.

Xiao Ming looked at Chen Qi, Chen Qi also nodded, and then he sent someone to the workshop to take out the toolbox.

Soon a craftsman arrived in front of the three of them. He opened the toolbox and spread it on the ground, and the long and short measuring tools in it appeared in front of Xiao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, this is from Lin Wentao." Song Changping took out a caliper from it. The value on it was exactly the millimeter, centimeter and other units that Xiao Ming drew originally.

After he unified the measurement standards, the states and counties in the country adopted this set of measurement units. The Bowen Academy was the same, and Lin Wentao learned this from there.

I glanced at the wooden square box, and placed a ruler, compass, protractor and other measuring instruments on the upper and lower levels of the box, and I felt relieved to see Xiao Ming.

As more and more students of Bowen Academy participated in the construction of the country, they began to take the initiative to apply the knowledge they learned to various places.

"Not bad."

Xiao Ming smiled. For him, the industrialization of the country is always the foundation of his footing. If the current country can reach the level of British industrialization, he would not care about the other vassals of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Only four years are limited, and the industry has stayed in the small circle of Qingzhou and has not extended to other states and counties in the country.

It's not that Xiao Ming didn't care about the industrialization of the feudal country, but that he spent four years of continuous wars, and he invested most of his financial income in the war. It is fortunate that his feudal country has not collapsed in these years.

Therefore, the workshops related to military industry are very prosperous, but it can't be extended to other life industrial products.

The most important thing is that businessmen make profits in wars. They are more keen to invest their money in wars to make quick money. Although Xiao Ming is aware of this, he has nothing to do. After all, war needs money.

It is precisely because of this that he realized that it is extremely difficult to industrialize without a stable domestic environment, and because of this, he is eager to obtain a stable surrounding environment ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Wang Xuan's intelligence is very straightforward. , King Chu has already contacted the French. If King Chu eventually cooperates with the French, it will be a threat to him, because the French will not only bring advanced weapons to the Chu King, but also bring some different ideas.

And thinking is the most dangerous thing.

Holding various measuring tools and the two of them talked about the production line of Xiao Ming before returning to the palace. It is a good thing that this advanced industrial production method appears in the military workshop. According to Xiao Ming’s experience, any technology is first used in Military convenience will slowly be transferred to civilian use.

If the production system of the military workshop is mature, this will also lead to changes in private industry.

When he returned to the palace, Xiao Ming began to prepare for his ascension to the throne. Although he knew that his ascension was just to rectify his name and would not change the decision of King Yan, King Zhao, and King Liang to defeat Qi, this can be seen from Pang Yukun’s performance Will have a great shock to the closure of the country.

Because the enlisted soldiers will no longer fight for a vassal, but for an emperor, this kind of belief in encouragement will make his army stronger will and strength than before.
