Repairing a weapon is always more time-consuming than rebuilding it. For example, if the gun barrel is broken, try to take out the gun barrel stuck in the weapon and reinstall a new one. There is no need to re-make the gun head. But

If the gun head is broken, on the contrary, instead of wasting time taking out the old gun barrel, it is easier to make a new one from scratch.

Most of the damaged weapons sent this time were caused by broken gun barrels. Originally, the gun barrels were more vulnerable to damage than the gun heads during training. According to the usual repair speed, it would probably take a whole day. Chen Kai had seen it

After reading the classified numbers, I immediately understood Chen Hui's plan. To put it bluntly, Chen Hui did not intend to make things worse, but he just wanted to use this batch of damaged weapons to delay the completion of the mission for a day. Let's take a breath.

, nothing more.

Otherwise, delaying this batch of damaged weapons until the last few days, or simply breaking hundreds of them at once, will have a higher success rate of causing trouble for Chen Kai. However, doing so will easily delay the major event of sending troops. Can Chen Hui

This clearly distinguishes priorities, which is much better than those who harm others and do not benefit themselves.

However, today is already the first day of June, and there are still fourteen days until the date agreed by Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong. The production tasks are still heavy, and the bigger problem is that the army is about to send troops, and each town will inevitably have more daily training.

At first I thought it was still usable, but now a broken weapon appeared to be particularly glaring.

Chen Hui's timing was very good, and it was necessary to check for damaged weapons in advance. However, Chen Kai was by no means a submissive person. Some things can be compromised, but some things cannot be compromised even half a step.

of!

"How are you guys resting during this ten-month break?"

"Thanks to joining the army, I can have this day's rest, my spirits have calmed down, and I even have more strength."

The craftsmen all smiled happily. They indeed have this qualification. The ten-day rest system is only implemented by the weapons workshop. Other towns and various departments under the general's headquarters do not have a clear rest system. At most, the main

It's up to the officer to decide.

In fact, there is nothing we can do about it. Since Zheng Chenggong started his army, he has been either discussing military affairs or training his soldiers every day. He only looks forward to an early duel with the Qing army on the battlefield and has never had a day off. Mr. Guo Xing leads by example, and the officials below him

Of course, the generals are also unavoidable. Even Chen Kai has not had even a day off so far.

"Now that you have rested, let's continue working."

"You little man, please obey."

The factory area has returned to its usual hustle and bustle, but Chen Kai did not disrupt his work plan due to the unexpected batch of weapons to be repaired, and the work was still proceeding in an orderly manner.

For now, the task of making new weapons is still the highest priority. This is Chen Kai's promise to Zheng Chenggong, and it is also the basis for his foothold in this group. It is also whether the army will be fully armed when Zheng Chenggong sends troops soon.

There is no room for failure when it comes to important matters.

However, damaged weapons also need to be replenished, which is the responsibility of the weapons workshop. Therefore, Chen Kai adjusted the priority of the carpenters with overcapacity to complete the gun barrels that needed to be made that day and the parts.

After assembly, priority was given to repairing the broken gun barrels, followed by continued manufacturing of pointed wooden guns that were only used as backup weapons for troops.

Everything in the workshop is as before, the blacksmiths are still making 18 gun heads per day, and the carpenters are repairing the gun barrels in addition to making them. Most of these damaged weapons have broken gun barrels, although those that require blacksmiths to repair

Weapons are still lying in the warehouse, and the number is increasing every day, but a larger proportion of damaged weapons are constantly being repaired, and there is no excessive hoarding.

………………

"He's still making new spears?"

"Yes, Master Chen. However, the carpenters have also repaired a lot of those broken gun barrels in recent days, and there are not too many broken weapons stored in the warehouse. The rest, at the usual speed and according to what he said,

It probably takes a day and a half to repair it.”

"Well, one and a half days is enough."

There is not much time left. Although one and a half days is short, it is enough for Chen Kai to complete the task. Even if it is just such a short time and a half, it will still be impossible to complete. This is like the difference between 1 and 0. It seems that it is not possible.

Big, but essentially one has it and the other doesn’t!

………………

Nine days later, on the tenth day of May, logically it would be the tenth day of rest. Every craftsman was looking forward to this day. But before work started, Chen Kai brought up another thing.

"After more than a month, your efforts have been noticed not only by me, but also by Mr. Guo Xing. Even after the shift last night, Mr. Guo Xing even praised me.

Your diligence."

For these people, Chen Kai never lacks work pressure, but he also never hesitates to praise. This is what they deserve, and they are all smiling at this moment. Chen Kai is their immediate boss, and Zheng Chenggong is not only Chen Kai

Kai's immediate boss is a count and the commander-in-chief of the army. It is something worthy of boasting to be praised by him.

However, his purpose was not limited to this. After a while, when the small courtyard returned to this state, Chen Kai said to everyone: "As we all know, weapons are being lightly damaged in various towns recently. Our weapons workshop is responsible for manufacturing and repairing them.

, we should also seize all the time to ensure the use of the army. During this period of time, I have also ordered a group of carpenters to carry out targeted repairs. Now most of them have been repaired, and only a few are left."

"However, the production tasks of our weapons workshop are still very tight, and there are still many damaged weapons that need to be repaired in the warehouse. I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the set tasks before the 16th."

June 15th is the deadline for the mission. Chen Kai assured Zheng Chenggong that every soldier on the expedition can carry real weapons into battle. However, repairing damage is also part of Chen Kai's mission. This is indeed something he had not expected before.

However, as the field work in the weapons workshop began, problems were discovered.

This problem has really affected the completion of the mission, and everyone in the weapons workshop can feel it to a greater or lesser extent. It is just because of Chen Kai's "magical calculation" that he revealed before that they have enough confidence in Chen Kai.

They remained silent until now. But now that Chen Kai has pointed it out in public, they need to express their stance.

"How many more days will it take to join the army?"

"One day is enough."

Chen Kai was full of confidence, but the craftsmen present seemed a little embarrassed. However, after some whispers, the opinions were unified, and then he expressed his attitude to Chen Kai: "Since the construction period is tight and the tasks are heavy, I will not rest until tomorrow."

Already."

It can be gone, but it can't be. The craftsmen's psychological expectation for tomorrow was to have a good rest for a day, but who would have thought that if they want to complete the task, they still need a day. If they rest, they will not be able to complete the task. Chen Kai's guarantee to Zheng Chenggong is worth it.

If it is not completed, it will still have some impact, whether it is Chen Kai or them. But if they do not rest, they are a little reluctant, and this thought is also seen in Chen Kai's eyes.

However, after making this statement, Chen Kai shook his head, and then smiled at everyone: "The ten-day rest system was established by me in this weapons workshop. I also said that you can work without overtime.

Just try not to add more, so as not to affect the subsequent work status. As for the issue here, I have thought about it carefully. The ten-day break cannot be waived, but we can adjust it."

………………

"You actually have such a shameless method. Does this guy think everyone else is a fool?"

By adjusting rest periods and adjusting the priority of product manufacturing, Chen Hui's method of adding weight was resolved by Chen Kai like a Tai Chi push hand, which really made him a little disappointed.

"Father, I'm afraid you may not be able to find that many if you search deliberately. Why don't you smash a batch and send them out on the last day to see what else he can do!"

Chen Hui spends his days training soldiers in the military camp in Youxian Town. This kind of thing is done by his son, and it is also to let him accumulate experience in political struggle. However, this time he did not achieve the goal.

The expected effect was that even Chen Hui became furious after hearing his son's advice.

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about! We make moves and others take them. This is an upright contest. What happens next is their own skill. You don't want to learn lessons or make progress, but this is what happens.

You are so angry that you will never end it, just like a shrew in the market. How can my father be so embarrassed to recommend you to the country in the future? "

Amidst the scolding of those who hate iron, the son of Uncle Zhongjing also quickly fell to the ground and admitted his mistake to his father. Chen Hui was only temporarily dissatisfied with his son's failure to live up to expectations, but the tone needed to be set, otherwise it would be easy to

Let his son play freely, and God knows what will happen to him.

"You must never cause trouble to the weapons workshop again. Your Uncle Lin and Uncle Zhang are right. The troops are about to be dispatched. You must not lose a big thing because of a small thing."

State affairs and selfishness, the coach's senses and temporary personal anger, what is small and what is big, Chen Hui can sit in the position of earl, so he can clearly distinguish. This kind of thing is just to show his muscles. As a coach, he will not interfere with his subordinates.

Some harmless quarrels between people, but if they are endless and delay important events, it is completely different.

"Then Uncle Chen..."

"You boy, your ability to judge people and things still needs to be honed over the years. Don't look at Chen Bao, who usually looks like a reckless man, but he is not a fool. That day, your Uncle Zhang made it clear that as a father, you should look at him

The look on his face also agrees, but it’s just for the sake of face. For now, let’s leave it like that for now. If anything happens, we’ll talk about it after we return from the army, and don’t provoke him again.”

Without the sudden weight increase, everything returned to normal. Chen Kai used the day off to complete most of the remaining repair tasks. The rest was left on the last day, because with a daily load of 18 long guns,

Speed, regardless of Xun Xiu, on the last day, only two long guns needed to be built to complete the task.
Chapter completed!
