Chapter 232 Plant Upgrade
After worrying the family for so long, and finally returning home, Xia Lin was naturally "entertained" well, and it was naturally a rare night to stay at home.

Hurley, who was 11 years old after her birthday, seemed to want to make up for the time she spent with Xia Lin. She stayed in Xia Lin's room and chatted. Later, she was still clinging to Xia Lin and wanted to sleep with him. Xia Lin Naturally, she rejected her decisively on the grounds that she had to do regular meditation at night and that she still needed to entertain Carol well.

In order not to neglect Hurley's friend named Carol, Xia Lin used the colored paper at home to make a simple pair of playing cards, and paired with the "fighting the devil" played by two little girls for half a night. The matter also joined in. Thanks to Bessie's participation, Xia Lin finally had a quiet night.

After wondering in her heart when Hurley became so close to her, Xia Lin shook her head and stopped thinking about these things, and fell asleep soon after performing the usual meditation in her room.

Early the next morning, when the three girls who had stayed up all night were still asleep, Xia Lin got up with his father, had breakfast, and drove to the industrial park in a carriage.

During this period of time, the factory directors in the industrial park are busy with power reform. Today is the time Xia Lin has set for submitting the report.

Yesterday, when Xia Lin went to the research institute to ride a bicycle and took Harper home together, he watched the development process of the spin technique by the way. After almost doubling the manpower, which is about the past few days, all possible tasks can be completed. The experiment of the spell model is to find out the real spinning model from many spinning models.

At that time, after the magic motor is developed and tested, Xia Lin will start to change the power of some suitable machinery and equipment into magic power.

As for how much the first-generation magic motor consumes and how much horsepower it can provide, Xia Lin still doesn't have a clear idea, but according to his estimation, no matter how much a one-level spell consumes no more than ten blocks of magic power, it can provide The power should not be less than 0.2 horsepower.

This value was initially estimated by Xia Lin based on the magic power consumption and power of the various first-level spells he mastered, and as long as they can reach this level, the spinning technique and the magic mechanism have practical value.

After saying goodbye to his father in the industrial park, Xia Lin first came to the office, dealt with all kinds of documents produced by the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce yesterday, and then left for the dock to take a boat to the R&D center to find Master Faen.

Yesterday afternoon, Master Fine submitted the successful research and development report of the machine gun, but Xia Lin was busy attending Hurley's birthday party, so he only went to the research institute and did not visit the gun factory. Deal with this important matter related to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the new army for a while.

After the training of the new army this time, what they will encounter will no longer be the defensive battles and blocking battles that appeared in the previous battles, but field battles that are more difficult and require higher training levels for the soldiers.

In that environment, the machine gun, which has the function of rapid-fire bursts and can provide strong fire support in a short period of time, can definitely play a very important role, especially in the fight against cavalry.

At the same time as the machine gun, there was originally a larger caliber artillery that was developed at the same time as the machine gun, but the research and development of the artillery is obviously much more difficult than the machine gun. So far, the reports received by Xia Lin's desk from the R&D workshop of the gun factory all show that this The artillery does not yet have stable performance, and Xia Lin plans to drop by during this trip to see the specific progress.

Arriving in the director's office of the gun factory, which was still in full swing, Xia Lin successfully found Master Faen, but saw the dwarf master lying on a messy bed with a big bamboo tube in his arms, sleeping soundly , The snoring sound is almost comparable to Chunlei.

He made a questioning expression to the workshop manager who was leading the way, and the workshop manager showed a helpless look, spread his hands and shook his head. Obviously, this dwarf master who is uncompromising in the gun factory seems to be in such a situation Not uncommon.

"Forget it, I remember you are Ede, right? You are also a workshop manager, so you should know some technology, so just take me to see the newly developed machine guns and large-caliber artillery!"

Xia Lin also sighed and shook his head helplessly, not planning to wake up Master Faen, he waved to the workshop manager who had an impression in his memory and walked out of the factory director's office.

The original greenhouse-style gun factory has been relocated to the completed factory building during this period, but the request for the expansion of the gun factory followed, so there are three new factory buildings next to this gun factory Construction is underway, and one of them is built according to the highest safety standards, with multiple walls on all sides, which will be used by Xia Lin to upgrade the gunpowder workshop into a gunpowder factory.

Back in the factory building, the sound of clanging machines was heard continuously, accompanied by the snorting of cattle beside the animal ratchet and the chants of workers.

Since there is not enough steel to build a modern steel structure workshop, this newly completed gun factory only has one set of the simplest lifting equipment designed by Xia Lin. This equipment requires [-] skilled workers to stand Working on high passages, most of it is laborious work such as turning the lifting ratchet.

The workers, wearing simple white cotton vests, stood at their posts and followed the guidance of a team leader to work together to complete the construction of this set of equipment consisting of a driving beam, a fixed pulley block, a side trolley, a power ratchet and a steel cable. Lifting equipment provides power.

The main purpose of this set of equipment is to lift the heavy parts such as the gun barrel produced in the kiln of the artillery workshop of the gun factory together with the mold to the designated position, such as the demoulding field, quenching pool, annealing kiln, etc. .

Although the weight of the 80mm breech-loading artillery is only about [-] kilograms, it can almost double after adding the mold. In addition to the high heat when it is just out of the oven, it will be very dangerous and laborious to lift it by manpower. After the accident, after losing several valuable workers, this system was added to the newly built gun factory.

"How about it, this lifting system should be okay to use, right?"

Xia Lin walked through the busy gun factory, watched the workers operating the lifting system, and took the time to casually ask the nervous workshop manager Yide.

"Promoting the system? Well! Of course, Boss Xia Lin, if there is no such system, everyone will have to earn twice the wages to be willing to be the former mold bearers!"

Hearing Xia Lin's question, the workshop manager with a rather immature face froze for a moment, then hurriedly answered.

"Then can this system lift your newly cast large-caliber artillery?"

Xia Lin turned to ask again, the large-caliber artillery he set was actually just stepped into the threshold of heavy artillery in the previous life, that is, the caliber of 100mm, but the difficulty of casting has increased by more than ten times, because only good steel can make a good gun .

At present, the craftsmen in the research and development center have just started alloy research and development, and the gun factory can only use carbon steel smelted by the steel factory as raw materials. Since the composition of iron materials purchased from the market is different each time, each furnace The quality of the carbon steel produced is also uneven, and basically all need to be screened before being sent to the gun factory for making guns.

This is also the reason why Xia Lin can only dispatch four or five tons of steel to the gun factory, which is in short supply of steel, even if the daily output of the steel factory can be [-] tons.
