At this moment, Li Sheng can safely come to this place called "Mangbai" by others, but he knows it is called Mumbai, precisely because Li Sheng can already carry out the original overall design anywhere, and then outsource more details... to Hangzhou
Shipyard Research Institute!
The craftsmen were naturally happy to be able to participate in Shenghou's big project... The key was that Li Sheng outsourced the matter for them.
The craftsmen saw something that even they couldn't believe...
Perhaps in the future, craftsmen... can be like military generals, making great achievements and being directly granted the title of marquis.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't become a marquis. The point is that as the projects become more and more complex, the ships produced by the factory are becoming more and more sophisticated, traveling faster and faster, and carrying higher and higher loads.
This allowed the craftsmen to understand one thing for the first time, that is... the craftsman's job can grow infinitely...
But among all people, who doesn’t want to have a bright future?
The news spread quickly, and at first...
Speaking of which, China is still big after all. Despite hundreds of years of chaos, there are still many places where articles, classics and educational resources have been preserved.
Nowadays, the world is stable and peaceful, with rapid growth, and there are still many people who have knowledge, even for craftsmen.
And the craftsmen in many places who heard the news... at first, they didn't believe such a thing existed at all.
How great can the work of craftsmen be? It still has a bright future... It’s a joke.
But this news was soon brought to Lingzhou, and the intellectuals in Lingzhou were different from other places.
There are really many intellectuals in this place...and these intellectuals are also craftsmen.
What was regarded as another nonsense rumor in the market, about Li Sheng handing over a large amount of design work to various craftsmen recruited in Hangzhou, was quickly confirmed——
Moreover, both teachers and students here in Lingzhou are very surprised. Why don't you believe this? Shenghou stayed in Lingzhou for a year and has been engaged in design. Many research and development work has been handed over to everyone...
The news that was thought to be rumors was not only confirmed, but also learned that a considerable part of the magnificent project built by His Majesty was not done by Li Sheng himself, and that other people could also participate...
This time, the entire Tang Dynasty's craftsmen were furious.
Originally, although Li Sheng was famous, how could ordinary craftsmen dare to compare themselves with Li Sheng? Zhuge Liang could also build wooden oxen and flowing horses, but of course ordinary craftsmen would not dare to compare with Zhuge Liang.
But now... craftsmen all over the world feel that they have seen hope. The vast land of China has a long civilization, and the history of craftsmen is equally long.
But since the end of the Warring States Period and the collapse of Mohism, craftsmen across the country...
From then on, he became just like a tool man, but now...
This news, which was not news at first, has become a hot topic because of this trend. Even newspapers and magazines from all over the country, as well as the various literati and celebrities behind newspapers and magazines, have begun to talk about it and become more popular.
And this heat finally made it known to Li Sheng, who finally arrived in the Mangbai area.
Regarding this kind of enthusiasm, Li Sheng just smiled faintly, and he was inexplicably worried about whether there would be a wave of learning technology due to this... This kind of sporty technological leap often ends up wasting the time of the masses, because most people don't have that much.
The effort is to learn something systematically, but unsystematic knowledge is generally useless.
But I’m not too worried, because there will always be many craftsmen or farmers’ children who will really spend a lot of time studying systematically, and these people will become the precious talent pillars of Datang in the future... and themselves.
's right-hand assistant.
Who wouldn’t like to be outsourced when you go out to hang out...
Li Sheng smiled mischievously, then stretched out, boarded the bow, and looked around at the environment.
One of the reasons why I brought R&D...or rather the work of designing R&D paths and establishing overall ideas to such a quiet place is that after the development of printing technology, the number of talents has skyrocketed, and I can finally outsource it.
But "can be outsourced" is only a sufficient condition for coming here, not a necessary condition. In other words, you can also do it elsewhere, whether it is in Hangzhou as originally planned, or simply stay in Lingzhou, or go to
Any place is fine.
The reason for coming here is very simple, it is still resources.
Resources...this is the most important thing in the world.
Of course Li Sheng didn't come here because of mineral deposits such as coal and steel. Although these resources are resources... to be precise, they are the most important resources in the world.
But Li Sheng came here because of the Damas Valley Iron Mine.
The Damas Valley iron ore is the material used in the legendary "Damas Valley Knife".
The Damas Valley Knife is famous all over the world, and legends about it are everywhere in the world. In Li Sheng’s memory, Persia in later generations could still confront Rome for thousands of years after its historical glory shone in Arabia and then quickly dissipated.
, in addition to the fact that there are indeed many strategic masters and operational geniuses in the country, another reason is that the special material "wootz steel" originating from the South Asian subcontinent was imported in large quantities by Persia and processed into weapons.
There have been many conjectures in later generations, and there are also claims that this kind of steel has nothing special about it, but after research, it turns out that there is really something special about this steel.
To put it simply, this peculiar "Uzi iron ore" is essentially a layer of different iron ores stacked up in a shale-like manner.
After the impurities are quenched after forging, the remaining materials are composed of different materials, namely Xueming charcoal iron and Worthfield iron or Pole iron. The sword also has unique patterns due to the stacking of different materials.
And this kind of pattern can form serrations that are invisible to the naked eye at the onlooker level, so the cutting ability is extremely good - at the same time, this is why the Damas Valley Sword is very famous, but no one has heard of the Damas Valley Sword, or
The reason for the spear is that most of the time using a sword does not "cut" anything, so naturally it cannot bring out its features and advantages.
certainly……
Today's Datang has real steel-making technology.
Being able to refine steel that is close to the modern level, the sword is definitely more powerful than the Damas Valley Sword that has not yet come out and become famous.
But now that the situation is special, Li Sheng... really needs this thing.
The main reason lies in the economy and trade. Although Datang's steel production capacity is extremely high and is still growing significantly every year, almost all the steel either has a place to go, or it has to be made into iron tools, especially swords, to be exported to earn foreign exchange in exchange for gold and silver.
, so... At present, branch companies are opening up in Hangzhou Industrial Zone and many seas, and at this time... there is really a lack of steel to make swords.
