I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 309 Sight

The pattering rain stopped like this, and it was cloudy for a long time, and then it fell again, and it was not until the day of the office that the sun cleared.

Early in the morning, Wang Ge memorized the two types of rockets and the improved models to Gongcao. Yesterday evening, Mrs. Zou told Wang Shuzuo in advance, so besides Gongcao and Bingcao, there were officials she had never seen before and several carpenters. Come out from the surrounding houses one after another.

Gong Cao Shi didn't introduce who was who, so Wang Ge didn't ask, and it was no surprise that there were so many people. She simply bowed in all directions, and when her gaze caught the old man in the middle of the craftsman, she froze for a moment.The other party is about 60 years old, with a dignified appearance, and his bearing is obviously superior to other craftsmen. She thought to herself: Could it be that he is a famous master craftsman?
Not able to think too much, Wang Ge took out the wooden utensils and slips, and there were many slips, and put them in order.The upper row is the improved decomposition of the first scheme; the lower row is the second scheme.

Both kinds of real objects have been made. Due to the short time, she chiseled them rather rough, but it is enough to show and explain according to the model.

The corridors and courtyard gates are surrounded by guards, which shows that the county administration attaches great importance to this test device.

The quieter the environment, the more prominent Wang Ge's crisp voice: "Look, this is the original rocket. These two are two types of improved molds. I will talk about the first one first. The rear plank that squeezed the oil bladder on the original rocket, I added a horizontal oil drain stick on it to better drain the fuel."

"I changed the curvature of the machine gun, and separated the machine gun from the upper back plank, which can be assembled later by dovetail, which is more conducive to the division of labor between craftsmen."

All the craftsmen nodded one after another. To put it bluntly, a craftsman is also a tool. During the process of making parts, try not to let the craftsman use his brain to think, just do it with his hands.When rushing to work in large quantities, decomposing the complex device structure can improve both the deadline and the quality of the device.

"I added a fixed handle to the inner wooden circle of the wooden wheel, and the next oil bag can be shaken to align with the position of the oil discharge stick by means of the wooden handle. Of course, the wooden wheel can also be rotated directly." said This, Wang Ge sighed dissatisfied, "My crafting skills are limited, so far I can only do the clumsy method of turning the wheel by hand. If you seniors have ideas, I hope to improve it."

"Look at the mechanical arm for igniting...the greatest possible saving of tinder waste...but the fire-inch strips can't be like the ones sold in the store. The whole wooden stick has to be soaked in sulfur to ignite instantly. The specifications of the fire-inch strips, I suggest accurate After re-approval of the test equipment, one is to reduce the waste of sulfur and wood, and the other is the size of the fire bar, which may affect the sprayed flame."

"Now let's look at the extension tube. I heard that there is a kind of expensive crossbow equipped with a 'Wangshan' that is good for aiming at the target. I have never seen the real thing, but I have seen the model, and vaguely guessed the reason for the Wangshan, so I extended it. Add a target hole to the front end and the rear end of the tube." She leveled the rocket, aimed at the ginkgo tree in the courtyard, closed her left eye, and continued to explain: "My method of use is to aim at the ginkgo tree through the center of the rear target hole. Tree, and then let the tree be in the center of the front target hole. When the two target holes and the target are in a straight line, it should also improve aiming."

Change sight?Wang Ge really surprised her everywhere.Mrs. Duan yelled "Craftsman Wang, stay here for a while", and then remembered that her arm was injured, and the test device was not accurate.

Wang Biaozhi was the first to understand Gongcao Shi's thoughts, but he couldn't help with this matter. He had never used Wangshan's crossbow, so he couldn't compare the difference between two aiming holes and one Wangshan for visual aid.

Bing Cao Shi reacted: Is it to test the aiming strength of the "target hole"?
The old craftsman was ahead of the history of Bing Cao: "I'll try it."

Wang Ge looked at Mrs. Duan, who nodded. She handed the rocket to the old craftsman and stepped aside.Looking at the old craftsman at this time, Wang Ge felt that this person had a lot of background.Obviously at the age of Huafa Xiaoxiao, after imitating her to level the rocket, the whole person became stern, and there seemed to be evil spirits rushing out of his body.When he squinted his left eye, his evil spirit became stronger, not like a craftsman, but like a brave general!

"Yeah." He withdrew his arms, and the power of the frost disappeared, and returned the rocket to Wang Ge, without commenting on whether it was good or bad, and stood back to the craftsman.

Mrs. Duan: "Continue talking."

Wang Ge: "Yes. I made a groove around the front end of the extension pipe, so that it can be added and extended. That's all for the first improvement, and the second one will be discussed below."

After she changed the firearm, Mrs. Duan asked, "Why is there no target hole in this one?"

"Thanks to Cao Shi, at the beginning I had a whim, and felt that the target hole was useful for aiming, so I drew it on the model of the improved rocket just now, and then made the real thing according to the model. When drawing the second improvement, I I feel that the addition of target holes may not play a supporting role in actual use, because the flames are sprayed out, and perhaps crossbows are more suitable for double target holes...or one target hole with one Wangshan."

No, maybe the crossbow is more suitable. Wang Ge's original intention is to use the rocket this time to promote the aiming principle of the crossbow with three points and one line.Of course the rocket is useless!

Returning to the explanation, Wang Ge first walked around in a circle, stretched his arms so that everyone could see the wooden structure clearly, then stopped and said: "This rocket has double rotating wheels, and can be installed with twelve oil bladders... the extension tube and the The main structure at the back is disconnected, and a curved wooden handle is installed on the bottom to connect the front and rear... The horizontal stick that squeezes the oil bag can move the position, and the wooden wheel and oil bag can be replaced according to the size of the target and the distance...almost every part It can be disassembled, this device can be regarded as a heavy-duty rocket..."

"Boom!" There was an ear-splitting sound of bombing suddenly from the south, and the location seemed to be at Bing Cao.

Some people were startled, some people looked solemnly, but no one present made any noise.Wang Biao quickly told Mrs. Duan and left after Cao Shi, the soldier.

Mrs. Duan asked Wang Ge: "Is there any important structure?"

"No more." She is not stupid, let alone just finished talking, even if there is time to say in the future, she can't continue.

Mrs. Duan instructed: "There are still a few days until the county competition, don't be busy with other things, and prepare well."

"Yes. Then I'll go back."

As soon as Wang Ge left, the rest of the craftsmen and the officials led them to the official office to wait temporarily, but the old craftsman and two officials stayed.

The two officials are Zhou Yi, the chief recorder, and Lu Chen, the recorder.

Lu Chen and Mrs. Duan followed Zhou Yi to bow to the old craftsman, Zhou Yi said: "Master Huang, I wasted your time."

"I'm running out of time, so I won't say anything superfluous. The two improved rockets have all the principles, but the structure is too rough. I will draw the final model tomorrow, and you will send people to Dongyi Prefecture to get it before applying. He waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to thank you, and continued to speak sharply: "This weapon is exactly as Wang Ge said, and there is no need to install aiming holes. My suggestion is, don't equip it with basic crossbows lightly, as it will make ordinary soldiers become dependent. The habit of aiming at the hole, over time, the five-shot skill may be greatly reduced."

Zhou Yi readily answered "Yes", and continued: "Then we will wait for Grandmaster Huang to draw the final model, then make the real object and report it to Dongyi Mansion. I just don't know if the aiming improvement of the double target holes still needs to be reported. ?”

"Of course. Double target hole, target... Hehe, let's call it 'three straight lines' for now."

　觇 (chān) hole: 觇 has the meaning of peeping.
