Chapter 88 Artillery and Paper
Lao Zhang's scope of activity has always been inside the village, but he has always had a strong ambition for the land outside.
In this regard, Huang Cheng and Lao Zhang both did this. They always persuaded the village to move forward because they knew how terrifying Lu Zhuang was compared with the original Ming environment.
But this is located in a remote place, with insufficient population and introduction.
If it were in a rich place, that would be fine.
In contrast, Ula and Lu Da have no idea about it. They just think that their master is the chosen son of God on the grassland.
Lu Da wanted to take the caravan out purely because he wanted to fight and was curious.
At this time, Lao Zhang heard that there was arable land, so he couldn't help but suggest: "Master, if there is arable land, we can plant some!
If you have planted crops, will it be a waste...?”
People who have emerged from farming civilization have always been engraved with their obsession with arable land.
Lao Zhang just felt that there was no waste of land.
Lu Zhou did not answer positively: "The Russians' arable land is difficult to plant, but they are cultivated, and they may not be able to live.
It takes time to figure it out.
These foods are transported from afar, and their main purpose is fur..."
Lu Zhou has always maintained relatively small confidence in farming, thinking that this requires a lot of people to take care of wasteland and to raise land.
Unless one day he will make the large piece of glass craftsmanship and sign in to the glass.
A luxurious glass greenhouse.
But in that case, it is only suitable for growing some vegetables, and it is definitely unrealistic to have grains.
After Lu Zhou finished speaking, he pondered for a while before he thought that the purpose of this Russian might have been for the sake of the superficiality more than ten years ago, but now it is for the territory...
The land west of the Ural Mountains has been digested for many years.
After all, even the artillery can be transferred, which is enough to show Tsarist Russia's attitude towards the land in this direction.
The fortress under the sky in the west, no matter how hard you can pass it, as long as someone stations there, it will be a threat to Luzhuang, and it is too close to you...
At this time, Lu Da and others left. Only when they saw Lao Zhang running out of the artillery factory, they couldn't help but ask: "Has the matter in the artillery factory made progress?"
Lao Zhang then remembered the serious matter, put down the rapeseed in his hand, and said, "Well, the new cannon mold has been cast, just imitated by the captured cannon.
No cracks, neat appearance.
I feel like there shouldn't be much problem this time."
"Go and have a look first."
After hearing the words, Lu Zhou made progress in casting cannons. He put aside the matter here and came to the artillery factory with Lao Zhang.
Now in the village, simple cement roads have been paved, and it is very convenient to walk at both ends.
Still clean.
As soon as the two entered the artillery factory.
I saw a few people gathered on the cannon mold and measuring something.
Some blacksmiths began to work together to create a model heart.
There are a lot of brass piled up in the warehouses on both sides of the artillery factory. This is the result of Lu Zhou's sign-in in the past few days...
As for the captured artillery, it was placed in the middle.
This is a light cannon, which judged about 500 meters from the range that day, and is suitable for attacking low city walls and earthen buildings.
But for Lu Zhuang, this is also a more suitable copy template.
It is also suitable for fighting on this grassland.
"The owner of the manor is here..."
After seeing Lu Zhou coming, the group immediately gave up a seat.
Lu Zhou just checked the cannon model and looked at it, which was generally neat.
He then ordered, "No big problem, let's move on to the next step.
Next, you will also need to cast the mold core and refine the material.
The same thing, I have to try more.
Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. I guess it’s even more difficult to make a few steps later…”
Lu Zhou has no technical guidance.
Besides, he can't cover everything.
Since he built the flintlock rifle, Lu Zhou has not taught the craftsmen much.
He just put forward the requirements of fineness and rigor, so he asked Lao Zhang to take it with him throughout the whole process.
After a long period of exploration and practice without limiting resources, these people will definitely have more ideas of their own.
Even Lu Zhou can allow them to exert their creativity and make some extensions in the general direction they explain.
"yes!"
When the group saw the owner's affirmation, they felt a little relieved. During this period, everyone gathered in this artillery factory day and night to work.
They are not from masters, and they are all uncertain in their hearts.
Lu Zhou not only plays a role in making decisions, but also is also a spiritual pillar.
What he wants to do is to let everyone go.
......
Just after coming out of the artillery factory, Lu Zhou walked directly towards a workshop.
He originally wanted to call Xinyue to tell her what the telescope could be used.
The new moon ground glass these days is really meticulous. When Xinyue was dressing herself this morning, Lu Zhou also found that her hands were calloused.
I just walked a few steps under my feet and remembered something and then walked in another direction.
This is because of hearing gunshots from shooting in the distance.
I have been talking about paper bags for a while.
Lu Zhou has actually made some of it.
They used paper snatched from Kucheng, soaked it in butter, and packed the projectiles and gunpowder.
The bottles and jars on the man's body were replaced with leather pockets, which contained materials distributed in advance.
The effect of using is quite significant.
But paper is definitely not enough.
It is not possible to achieve a large amount of assembly.
Half a month ago, Lu Zhou ordered some women to make paper, which was dried with wooden vase, soaked and boiled.
After mashing, you can make paper, and after drying, it becomes rough paper.
The papermaking process is not complicated. Someone in the farm has done it, but I have tried it several times when choosing wood vase.
According to them, the papermaking formula was controlled by a master in the past. In addition to the bark, many miscellaneous materials are added now.
When Lu Zhou walked into the workshop, Cui Niang was guarding the oven and just opened a square of crust paper.
Lu Zhou went up to take a look.
It is estimated that if you wrap ammunition, this should not affect your use.
But I tried to think about it again, and an extremely unexpected voice appeared in my mind:
[Ding, sign in successfully, congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 A4 paper!]
Chapter completed!
