Yun Chao made a special trip to someone to build a blacksmith workshop for Blacksmith Hu on the north bank of Wolonggou.
It is very large in area and can be used to make iron and conduct research.
Unfortunately, Blacksmith Hu had some skills and only knew how to build agricultural tools and never made weapons.
Oh, it cannot be said that a weapon has not been built. If kitchen knives and axes are also weapons, then there are quite a few weapons made by Blacksmith Hu.
Yun Chao is not short of farm tools and weapons now, so he told Blacksmith Hu to try to build a gun head.
In weapons, long spears are very easy to manufacture. As long as they can shoot out the gun head, they can install a wooden gun rod.
The gun rod is naturally made by a carpenter, and the task of the blacksmith Hu is to create a qualified gun head.
Although Blacksmith Hu had never created a spear head, he could understand one method and a hundred methods. In his opinion, it would be no difficulty to hit the spears of the boys under Yun Chao.
The day after Yun Chao had just told him, the blacksmith Hu made the spear head.
Originally, Yun Chao wanted to have a holiday for everyone.
Unexpectedly, many people are unwilling to have a holiday.
Although the New Year is important, earning wages is even more important.
Besides, there are still several days before the New Year. It’s so early to make a holiday, so much less food!
So Yun Chao asked those who wanted to rest to rest to rest, and those who didn't want to rest could continue to work overtime.
Blacksmith Hu is one of the people who take the initiative to work overtime. His reward is different from that of ordinary helpers. His wages are calculated based on the notes. The more things he creates, the higher the wages.
When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith Hu had already installed the gun head he had just made.
The gun rod was made by Carpenter Feng in advance, so he was waiting for the gun head of Blacksmith Hu.
Holding the new gun that had just been made, Yun Chao frowned. The gun head did not look shiny and a little black.
Yun Chao personally tested the gun, holding a long spear, and stood twenty meters away from a big tree.
Suddenly, Yun Chao exerted force under his feet and rushed towards the big tree!
Yun Chao's move is called sprinting, and it is used to charge during wars.
With the help of running inertia, if this shot is solid, even if the enemy is wearing heavy armor, it can pierce through it with one shot!
When it was almost time for the big tree, Yun Chao exerted his arms and shouted loudly, and stabbed the spear hard!
A bang!
The spear stabbed heavily into the big tree, and suddenly broke through the bark and pierced deeply!
"good!"
Seeing Yun Chao's shot quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, the boys couldn't help but cheer up.
While cheering for Yun Chao, the boys were also very happy. If the blacksmith Hu could build a spear, they would no longer have to carry bamboo guns to fight.
Yun Chao was not as excited as the boys. He frowned and pulled out the spear inserted into the trunk.
Then, the boys surrounding him were stunned.
Everyone is young, with good eyesight. You can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with the gun head made by Blacksmith Hu.
After only one trunk, the small section at the tip of the gun was broken!
What does this mean?
Even if Yun Chao doesn't know metallurgy, he knows that the gun tip made by Blacksmith Hu is unqualified.
If you guessed correctly, it should be that there are too many impurities on the gun tip, and the sharpness and toughness are not enough.
All the kids have used the spear that Yun Chao bought in Qingyang County. They know that it is impossible to damage the tip of the gun just by slashing the big tree once.
Needless to ask, it must be that Hu Blacksmith's skills are not up to standard.
After the blacksmith Hu created the gun head, he compared it with the original spear, but even found something to shoot a few shots.
However, his gun was completely different from Yun Chao's sprint, and his strength was simply incomparable.
At that time, I thought it was okay, but I exposed it as soon as I used it in Yun Chao's hands.
Blacksmith Hu was both ashamed and embarrassed. He was embarrassed in front of so many people.
Not only is he embarrassed, but he is also afraid of being punished by Yun Chao.
"Owner, inspector, I..."
Yun Chao patted Hu's blacksmith on the shoulder: "Master Hu, don't blame yourself, there is no way to fail in doing things. Failure is the mother of success. Failure is not scary. What is scary is that you have no determination to defeat failure. Let's study it together.
Take your time, I believe you will succeed!”
As a doctorate at the Agricultural University, Yun Chao knew that doing research is not about treating guests to dinner. Not to mention failure once, it is normal to fail dozens, hundreds or thousands of times.
Therefore, when Hu Blacksmith failed, Yun Chao was not angry at all. This was incomparable to the setbacks he encountered when he was doing experiments in his previous life. It was simply a slim witch.
However, for Hu Blacksmith, Yun Chao's words completely broke through his imagination.
In the past, it was necessary to do a good job in labor service for the government, but it would be a crime if it didn't work well!
Blacksmith Hu thought that if he had done his job, he would be punished by Yun Chao very much, either deducting wages or being whipped.
Unexpectedly, Yun Chao was not only not angry, but also did not deduct wages, and he didn't even say a word of bad words.
How could this not move the blacksmith Hu, who was used to being oppressed?
Not only Blacksmith Hu, but almost all the craftsmen were moved.
If I had known that there was such a good boss in the world, I would have come to Wolong Village long ago!
In fact, Yun Chao didn't think so much, nor did he deliberately win people's hearts. He was just used to it in his previous life. Every time the experiment failed, he had to comfort his soldiers.
After carefully asking about the process of making the gun head in the blacksmith, Yun Chao asked the blacksmith to open the furnace on the spot and demonstrated it.
Seeing that Yun Chao did not mind the environment at all, he endured the high temperature of the fire and looked for problems with everyone, all the craftsmen were respectful.
It’s really a great incense to be able to follow such a good boss in this life!
Although Yun Chao did not understand metallurgy, he had extensive knowledge. After reading Hu's blacksmith's operation, he had a rough idea.
If you guess correctly, it should be that the furnace temperature is insufficient, resulting in too much impurity residue in the first blank, which affects the quality of the finished product.
So Yunchao was preparing to increase the furnace temperature first. If it didn't work, it wouldn't be too late to find other problems.
If you want to increase the furnace temperature, you can only find ways from several aspects.
First, replace better fuel;
Second, increase the heat released by the fuel at the same time;
Third, improve the stove;
fourth……
Well, even the first three points were thought by Yun Chao himself, so he didn't know if it was right.
Yunchao's first consideration is fuel.
The charcoal used by the Blacksmith Hu to heat the stove.
If you want to improve the fuel, you have to replace charcoal with coal or even coke.
The combustion value of coal is greater than charcoal, and the temperature of coal is higher than that of charcoal.
Unfortunately, Wolong Village only has charcoal and no coal. If you want to use coal, you have to buy it outside.
The Dawu Dynasty was not a later generation, and the transportation was extremely inconvenient. If you had to buy a large amount of coal, it would not be possible to buy it just by saying that you could buy it. Yun Chao couldn't afford it at all!
