Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 230

The entire Fushan is operating under the highest level of strategic orders.

Many projects were stopped, and the strong men were added to the generals' battalion. The entire generals' battalion followed orders. Except for a small number of firecrackers to continue to build, more than [-]% of the manpower and material resources were spent on making armors. up.

Based on the standard of thirty catties of refined iron and a pair of armor, a large amount of materials were consumed in this way.

"Look, my lord, this is our 11-year-style hard armor."[

In the Jiangzuo Office, which occupies a huge area and has a radius of seven or eight miles, the Artillery Bureau occupies the largest area, followed by the Fire Gun Bureau.These two bureaus are making firearms and need to test the launch, so they need to build shooting ranges, and at the same time use blast furnaces for casting. Of course, the site requirements are huge.

Zhang Shouren is a person with a great style of work. When he first built the office, he spent a lot of money. At this time, looking around, the blacksmith stoves of the Jiazhan Bureau are lined up, stretching for several miles, and there is the sound of tinkling iron , Almost noisy people can't hear clearly when talking to each other.

The huge blast furnace could be seen clearly from several miles away, and thick black smoke came out of the furnace mouth, covering the ground, making Zhang Shouren almost fascinated by it.

There was an industrial beauty that captivated him, even in such a crude sight.

The pig iron used here is all refined pig iron from Laiwu Mine. After the pig iron is smelted, it becomes wrought iron, and then the wrought iron is melted into refined iron. Although it is not pure steel, it is already very strong in texture. Forging weapons and making a stomach are all very sharp and strong.

"Supposedly," Lin Chonggui was holding a hard iron armor that weighed about [-] jins, but the expression on his face was not at all strenuous, on the contrary, there was a very proud and proud expression.Pointing to the helmets on the ground, he smiled and said, "Accordingly, the helmets can be made of cast iron, but my lord told me that sturdiness is the most important thing in everything, so we used refined iron."

"very good."

Zhang Shouren really doesn't know much about weapon manufacturing.He just put forward requirements and ideas, and sometimes he told the craftsmen about the historical casting changes that he knew, and then these skilled craftsmen were always able to produce very beautiful results beyond his imagination.

The current general work is still mainly done by hand, and a few gun beds are used to lengthen the gun barrel of the fire gun, and are used for welding, smashing and fixing the gun tube.

More machines are still far away in Taixi. He has already sent someone to contact Zheng Zhilong. The Zheng family came forward to get in touch with Yehuisu from Macau to buy a large number of hydraulic lathes and boring machines.

As much as possible, it is necessary to change and enhance the accuracy of the gunfire, so that the cannon casting and muzzle smoothing work can also be standardized... This is very important for the tactical use of artillery.

"Now we have 380 six pairs of armor in stock. After three days, we have collected 31 pairs. We will hand them over to Team A for training and use by the officers and soldiers of Team A. Before November, our Fushan Camp General Office can produce [-] armors. Two hundred iron armors, with a standard weight of [-] catties and five qian, are hard armor with scales, made of beef tendon, very solid and firm!"

After allocating a large number of manpower and enough necessary materials such as pig iron and beef tendon, dozens of iron armors are produced every day... This is unimaginable in other military towns. According to the rules, each guard has to hand in different numbers of iron armor every year.
