Chapter 550: It's not good to do it, the theory is still successful
Wang Mi shouted for a long time, but there was no reply. No one responded. He felt a little disappointed.
No way!
In such a huge general workshop, with such a complete range of categories, there is no one who can make lead bullets!
I can’t live this day!
This is indeed what happened. Although Wang Mi could make simple handguns, his abilities were limited.
For example, he does not know how to make steel pipes, so he can only teach some modern production methods to craftsmen who have mastered the kneading method to make steel, so that they can continue to explore.
When all the parts, steel pipes, lead bullets, gunpowder and other equipment he needs are placed in front of him from various departments in the workshop, then is the time for him to show off his skills.
However, when no one knew how to make these parts, Wang Mi felt it was a bit tricky.
"Shilang Wang, leave the matter of lead bullets to me, you don't have to worry."
When Xiao Wang was extremely anxious, Pu Chao suddenly walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and took over the matter.
Wang Mi was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Does Pujiang Zuo know such a master?"
Pu Chao smiled and put on a pretentious expression: "You don't have to worry about that. Just go make the steel pipes and leave the rest to me."
"What else needs to be done?"
"You still need gunpowder, but no one knows how to make that thing now. Just wait until the gun is ready and then prepare it."
"No one can do it?"
"Shilang Wang is too confident."
Pu Chao looked Wang Mi up and down and shook his head. The young man was good at everything, but his tone was a bit loud.
It was just gunpowder. Although Pu Chao didn't know what it was, he was sure that there must be someone in this general workshop who could make it.
"That thing called gunpowder, does anyone know how to make it?"
"Stand up quickly!"
This is a major matter related to the face of the workshop, so it cannot be vague.
Pu Chao stood in front of Wang Mi and shouted loudly, "Those who are capable and can brag, now is the time for you to show off, so hurry up!"
"this……"
"It seems like no one can do it by a common craftsman."
Gu Puchao's affectionate call was in vain. In the end, not a single craftsman came out to support him, which made Old Man Pu feel a little embarrassed.
"Not only can't we do it, we don't even know what it is."
"What is gunpowder, Mr. Wang?"
"Can we help?"
The thinking of the masters is very simple. If you can do something yourself, you should do it yourself. If you can't do it, you should help if you can.
No matter what, do your best.
"Masters, please relax. Although you have never seen gunpowder, unfortunately I can make it."
"However, if you don't mind, General Craftsman, there may be a few raw materials that I would like to trouble you to help prepare."
"What ingredients?"
"But it doesn't matter."
I bet this guy can do it himself!
Pu Chao suddenly felt a little cheated. If he had known better, he wouldn't have had to work so hard. However, he should be able to get all the raw materials, so it wouldn't be difficult.
After all, the entire general workshop is under his management, and as long as the raw materials Wang Mi can speak of, they will not escape Pu Chao's control.
Besides, Wang Mi seems to be a thoughtful guy, and he would never name the raw materials that he doesn't know at all.
right!
That’s right!
Thinking of the gunpowder thing he had overturned just now, Pu Chao's heart suddenly became a little worried again.
"Don't worry if you are a general craftsman, they are all things you can collect."
How could he guess what I was thinking?
Pu Chao felt very unhappy.
"It's just sulfur, saltpeter and other things, you can definitely find them."
"It's just these things, easy to talk about, easy to talk about."
Pu Chao breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, new news came from the blacksmith workshop that "Tuan Gang" was forged.
The so-called "Tuan Steel" is the elementary steel forged by Wei Ning'er and others. In Wang Mi's case, they can only be called fake steel.
It is a process of returning pig iron and wrought iron to the furnace and then calcining them, so that they are closely integrated together.
This fused iron block is taken out of the blast furnace and beaten repeatedly over a period of time to produce steel that is relatively common in this era.
"It's out!"
"It's out!"
Wei Ning'er excitedly handed over the forged steel to Wang Mi for inspection. She felt confident because the quality of the steel in this furnace was already quite good, reaching the highest level of iron and steelmaking in the workshop.
level.
"Master Wei, okay!"
"It's really good!" Pu Chao also expressed his appreciation.
Only Wang Zhiyuan, a half-amateur wearing a wide-sleeved robe and a girdle, sneered at such steel.
"Master Wei, no!"
"Not even close."
Hearing this, Wei Ning'er's face immediately fell.
Not yet?
No way!
"Master Wei, take these iron blocks out of the blast furnace and forge them a few times, and they should be ready for use." Wang Mi asked again. The craftsmen of Jin Dynasty were sincere in helping him forge steel, but they should not be unfair.
Got people.
What if there are still procedures behind that that haven’t been followed?
Wei Ning'er was so stimulated by Wang Mi's words that she felt like an eggplant battered by frost, and her speech was weak.
"It's really gone. It's already taken shape."
Look, the difference is right here.
In fact, this thing called Tuan Gang is not steel at all. The reason why its hardness is better than ordinary wrought iron.
That's all because with the help of the hardness of pig iron, after combining with each other, the pig iron will strengthen the hardness of the wrought iron, and the wrought iron will also promote the enhancement of the ductility of the pig iron.
However, it is obvious that such so-called steel cannot be used to make high-grade firearms at all.
"Master Wei, there is no need to be depressed. I don't mean to blame you."
"I have heard that the kneading method that is popular in workshops today is the way to make iron. There is nothing wrong with it."
"It's just that if I want to make the weapon I want, the steel here needs to be strengthened."
"Strengthen more?"
"How else can it be strengthened?" Wei Ning'er was confused. What Wang Mi said was completely beyond his scope of understanding.
He couldn't give him any advice.
Pu Chao also stepped forward and asked: "Shilang Wang, you have never done blacksmithing before, how do you know what to do next?"
It's not that people don't believe him, it's that Wang Mi's identity has nothing to do with the things he will guide.
No matter how you look at it, it's a bit confusing.
"I'm really not good at doing things with my hands. It's precisely because I know I'm not good at it that I ask for help from the master blacksmiths!"
Very dizzy, really dizzy.
"Everyone, in fact, it only needs to be processed a few more times to meet the requirements. The operation is not difficult at all."
"As long as you follow what I say, you will probably succeed. It's very easy."
With Wang Mi's encouragement, several masters finally reluctantly took action again, but those masters from other categories who had already received errands had no intention of leaving.
What on earth does Wang Shilang want to do?
Tuan Steel is already the best steel in the world, but Wang Mi brazenly claims that there is still room for improvement.
is this real?
Can it really be possible to forge better quality steel?
With such questions in mind, the craftsmen began to pay attention to Wang Mi's behavior.
