Gensheng looked at Yang Min awkwardly, scratched his head as usual, and said sheepishly: "Sir, Sister Min, please stop making fun of me. I don't even know a few words. Where can I read it?"
Got the book!"
"Forehead......"
Yang Min, who was originally smiling, also looked a little embarrassed and complained: "Sir, please stop joking! He is illiterate, what kind of book do you want him to read!"
Gensheng continued: "Actually, I want to work in the craftsman camp, not because I am bored, but because everyone is working, and my health is not serious, but I lie at home every day. It is really uncomfortable
Excuse me......"
Lin Xu smiled and said: "Gensheng, I know you can't read many words yet, but my book is specially prepared for you. There are only a few words, and it's basically all patterns. I guarantee you can read it."
Understand!"
"A book full of patterns?"
"Haha, you'll know just by looking at it..."
Lin Xu took out a thick pamphlet from his arms and handed it to Gensheng.
Gensheng took it and flipped through a few pages. His eyes immediately lit up: "This is... Sir, have you made a new type of spinning wheel?"
"What?! New spinning wheel?!"
Hearing these words, Yang Min jumped to the side of Gensheng like an arrow from the string, leaned over to take a closer look, and said in surprise: "Sir, is this really a new spinning wheel?
"
"Haha, yes, this is the new spinning wheel I designed. If we use this spinning wheel to weave cloth, our weaving efficiency can be increased by at least 50%."
Lin Xu said with a smile.
"What!? Can it be increased by another 50%?!"
Yang Min was so excited that she could not wait to step forward and give Lin Xu a bear hug!
"Don't be so excited. This is just a sketch I designed. There is still a long way to go before it is actually manufactured! Compared with the spinning wheels we use now, the manufacturing principles of this new spinning wheel are actually similar. The difficulties are difficult.
In the production of some parts, the requirements for craftsmanship are very high! It is difficult to make them by hand alone..."
"Then what should we do? If we don't rely on handwork, what else can we rely on?"
Yang Min asked in confusion.
"machine tool!"
Lin Xu said two words in a deep voice.
"machine tool?"
Yang Min and Gensheng both had doubtful looks on their faces. This was a new word that they had never heard of before!
"The roots are established, then turn back."
Lin Xu said with a smile.
Gensheng turned back a few more pages, but he couldn't understand these strange patterns.
"Sir, is this the drawing of the machine tool?"
"Yes, this is the drawing of the machine tool!"
In fact, Lin Xu has had the idea of manufacturing machine tools for a long time. Ever since he learned that nomadic tribes such as Tatars and Huns have repeatedly invaded the Daning border, and Daning's army, under the iron cavalry of these nomadic tribes, could hardly fight back.
When he was working hard, he had the idea of making machine tools!
Of course, manufacturing machine tools is not the ultimate goal.
He wanted to use machine tools to create a weapon specifically designed to restrain cavalry - a firearm!
It has to be said that the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated. In many years of war with the nomads, they have also summed up many ways to deal with cavalry, such as using obstacles, tripping ropes, trenches, traps, etc.
Use guerrilla tactics of infantry and skirmishers to deal with cavalry.
Generally speaking, these methods have a certain effect, but the effect is average!
Especially against heavy cavalry, the effect is even more average!
In fact, only using firearms is the best way to restrain cavalry!
In Lin Xu's previous life, it was only after firearms were put into war on a large scale that the cavalry was completely suppressed!
Therefore, Lin Xu made up his mind from that time on, he must create firearms! This chapter has been completed!
