Luoyang is really lively after the beginning of spring. The people are busy with their own tasks; the palace is not idle either. In the past few months, several groups of family members have been sent throughout the city to find the fleeing general of the country and bring him to him.
The prince's message. As a result, the inconvenient young general just refused to go home. Finally, the old prince got angry and sent out three young princes with ropes. They blocked Zhu Youcong who was about to flee at the gate of the city and announced to his face.
King Fu missed his precious little son. He wanted Zhu Youcong, who had been away from home for several months, to go back and show him. His original words were, "Sir, the family is well fed and well lived. The emperor rewarded you with such a beautiful daughter-in-law and you still run around."
What? If you don’t come back, my father will come to break your legs and support you for the rest of your life!"
Zhu Youcong was tied up like this and returned to the palace. What was different from the past was that this time because of his bad records, a sentry was specially set up at the door. A group of loyal eunuchs and maids patrolled day and night. He wanted to eat and drink.
He came as he was told; even if he asked for the stars in the sky, the Moon Prince would personally bring him a large basin of water to reflect them to him.
"Mr. Chuyang, can you help me?" Zhu Youcong, who was unwilling to be imprisoned, finally came up with the latest escape method, and he was sure that as long as he entered the manor outside the city, he would be completely safe. That was
There was a secret decree from the emperor that he was responsible for the territory alone.
"No, no!" Sun Yuanhua shook his head like a rattle. He was here to talk business, but this little monster wanted to run away? What was in this little general's head? He actually wanted to be in this little monster.
In the courtyard, he made a large bed crossbow, ejected him, and finally used his homemade parachute to successfully escape from the palace?
"Why not? You don't believe it can succeed?" Zhu Youcong was angry. This old man doesn't believe in my wisdom!
Sun Yuanhua is very convinced of Zhu Youcong's knowledge. As for the frying oil, well, the famous nitroglycerin is too troublesome to call, so Old Man Sun changed it. The frying oil is the most powerful thing Sun Yuanhua has ever seen.
, as the weather gets warmer, production has been strictly prohibited, and all finished products have completed secondary processing.
Just when the craftsmen were worried that they would have no work to do, the young general gave him a new formula. This formula seemed a bit unreliable, and the scrap rate of the products was 90%! But only 10% of the finished products were
But Sun Yuanhua saw a bright road. After this thing was mixed with fried oil, it didn't need to be ignited. It was installed in a thin iron case and could knock out the lead with just a tap. The shooting distance was longer than that of black powder of the same weight.
Several times! Now Sun Yuanhua has led dozens of craftsmen to study how to reduce the scrap rate. As long as he succeeds, he will not be afraid of being unable to use firearms in windy and rainy days.
"Should we do it or not?" Seeing Sun Yuanhua's silence for a long time, Zhu Youcong was also anxious. I will be running around all day long to support my family. In the Ming Dynasty, I have not been idle. There is no day when I am not in the fields or in the city.
Busy work inside and outside the city? It’s really uncomfortable to be so free now.
You can't do it, you can't do anything! Even if you succeed, it won't work! Otherwise, the little fat guy will run away, but he will have to stay and face the angry Prince Fu family independently. Sun Yuanhua knows very well that there will be no need for help from the palace servants.
, even the four fat men in the palace could press themselves into a picture, and even if they were stuck to the ground and torn off, they would not be able to be planted!
"Little General, why don't you handle this matter first, and then we can discuss how to escape?" Fortunately, Zhu Youcong's nonsense was nothing but nonsense, but once there was something serious to do, he was still very reasonable. The helpless Sun Yuanhua had no choice but to use Qiankun.
The magical power of moving away can divert someone's attention.
"What?" Just two months ago, Zhu Youcong designed a man-powered lathe in a very cool way, which made Sun Yuanhua almost laugh out loud. They immediately dragged him to see this machine.
The accuracy of the workpieces processed by the animal-powered milling machine has reached a very high level, which is simply not comparable to Zhu Youcong's simple toys...
"That's it..." Sun Yuanhua took the drawing he brought with him and spread it on the table. "We made this thing according to the drawing, but it keeps leaking and it can't achieve what you said, young general.
kind of effect.”
"Didn't I ask Xiao Lezi to give you all the fig resin? Why is there still leakage?" Zhu Youcong was very proud when he saw the elementary steam engine he designed. He finally surpassed these ancients in mechanical design. Now he
In a race against time, there were too many things that needed to be made. Animal power or waterwheels alone could not cope with the mass production that was about to begin, so the steam engine became his first choice to solve the power problem.
"That thing is useless. The resin often melts away before the steam comes up." Sun Yuanhua felt sick when he mentioned the fig resin. If he hadn't seen the magic of the little general, he would have thought that he was just looking for trouble.
"It melted?" Zhu Youcong slapped his head, and then he remembered that the one he was using was a substitute, and he seemed to have forgotten to tell others that it had to be vulcanized before use, so he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I have been so busy recently that I forgot to mention that this thing needs to be processed first before it can be used."
Sun Yuanhua stretched out countless middle fingers in his heart. This action was also taught by Zhu Youcong. It's okay to say that others are busy. You little fat guy is just hiding around all day long. What are you busy with?
After spending a long time talking, Zhu Youcong finally finished explaining the rubber vulcanization process and technical essentials. The chemicals he now uses to produce chemicals are all later-generation laboratory methods or backward processes that have long been eliminated, which wastes a lot of money and causes pollution.
It's very serious. And he can only tell people how to do it. As for the profound question of why he does it, he can't explain it. He can only leave it to the students in the workshop to slowly conduct reverse research.
Those students were also very unlucky. They stayed in the smoky workshop all day long and worked hard all day with the craftsmen. In the evening, they had to learn mathematics and firearms knowledge from Sun Yuanhua, who was also too tired to stand up. The most inhumane thing
Yes, those craftsmen can take a break every ten days and meet their families; but because they are orphans, they have to gather around Zhu Youcong to discuss what they have learned and find ways to improve the existing production technology.
"Now can we discuss helping me escape?" Zhu Youcong, who had settled the business, began to seek benefits for himself.
"Also, there is something else." Why didn't this little monster forget to run away? Sun Yuanhua thought, he had to finish what he had to do quickly, and then find an excuse to escape. Don't enter the palace again in the future.
"Well, I have to ask the general to help with the production of molds and cutting tools..."
"What? Molds? Tools?" You come to me for such a high-tech thing? These things are not as good as those who make explosives or draw drawings. Things must be made with superb craftsmanship and must achieve considerable precision. Zhu
You Cong really has no choice. If he has this skill, he will become a master of craftsmanship in future generations!
"Well, they are the molds for these small objects." After the new propellant was proven to be feasible, the production of new firearms was also put on the agenda. After rigorous review by dozens of skillful weapon masters, it was unanimously agreed that Zhu Youcong
The rifle designed is very excellent, the process is not complicated, and it can be made completely.
"Those masters can't do anything?" Zhu Youcong found it hard to believe that there were many master carvers among the remaining craftsmen. They could even carve a Tang poem on a place the size of a grain of rice with their naked eyes. How could they not solve the problem?
What about the screws, rifling molds, and cutting tools?
"There is really no way!" Sun Yuanhua also tried all the masters, and it was okay to make one or two pieces. The difficulty was that Zhu Youcong required that the monthly output should be at least 5,000 after mass production started, and every 10,000 pieces
Parts of the same parts of the firearm can be interchanged at will, which cannot be accomplished by hand production. Existing machine tools are sufficient for processing large parts, but the smaller the item, the greater the difficulty; newly made molds
, the tool is either not durable enough, or the accuracy does not meet the requirements...
"Mr. Chu Yang, does he know where there are better skilled craftsmen who can make the things we want?" Since the existing talents cannot meet the requirements, Zhu Youcong can only make other ideas.
"There is such a person, but..." Sun Yuanhua knew that there was one person who would definitely make qualified products, but that person's identity was too special, and he was not someone he dared to order.
"Who?" Zhu Youcong became more energetic when he heard that someone was available. At most, he could buy it from the emperor according to the old rules. If it doesn't work, he would occasionally knock the sap on him, tie him up and starve him for three days and three nights to see if he can do it.
Dry!
"Your Majesty!" Sun Yuanhua hesitated for a long time, but finally told the person. Anyway, if you don't want to be invited, you won't care about his business.
"What? Your Majesty?" Zhu Youcong was also dumbfounded. He couldn't buy this man, let alone tie him up!
"Well, that's the current emperor!" Sun Yuanhua also saw the objects made by Emperor Tianqi, and he believed that the emperor's craftsmanship far surpassed the craftsmen he led.
"This..." It's hard to handle, that's the emperor! Zhu Youcong doesn't dare to do anything harmful to this eldest cousin, he has to find a way to fool me. Didn't he promise me that there is nothing he can't solve?
Can I go to him with all my problems? Besides, he has caused me a lot of trouble during this period. It’s okay for me to retaliate and cause him some trouble occasionally! “Okay, I’ll leave this matter to my general!”
"Then your subordinate resigned?" Seeing that everything to be done was settled, Sun Yuanhua began to prepare to escape.
"Well, you go and do your work first." Zhu Youcong's mind was full of thinking about how to deceive the emperor, and he had no time to think about anything else, so he just waved his hand.
"Dong——"
With the sound of closing the door, Zhu Youcong remembered that he had not done any business yet, and cried and shouted: "Come back, Old Man Sun, come back here..."
At this time, Sun Yuanhua had already burst into youthful vitality and ran away without a trace.
ps: As early as the Tang Dynasty, my country had the most primitive lathe. By the Ming Dynasty, the animal-drawn lathe invented by the Chinese was the most advanced in the world at that time. The accuracy of the workpieces processed has reached 2~5 wires of the current accuracy. between.
