Chapter 165 General Regulations and Spanish Envoys

They have all experienced its power of the wolf tooth rifle. Although the appearance of this new gun is almost the same as the Japanese rifle, it only has a few more rifles. Now the door of the gun has been improved, and an adjustable ruler has been added.

But the range of this new gun is really appalling. After many tests, they found that even if this gun is 400 steps away, the projectile is still quite lethal, which can easily penetrate the armor and kill people.

The accuracy within 200 steps even exceeds the shooting accuracy of the southern-Japanese smoothbore gun in 40 steps. When collecting fire, it can easily cause major casualties to the enemy at a distance of 300 meters. With this thing, the combat effectiveness of their army has not doubled, and their firepower projection range The fire control area on the battlefield has expanded many times.

Yu Xiaotian ordered the formation of all the light infantry companies using wolftooth rifles. In the first exercise, they showed a huge combat advantage. After deduction, they found that all the light infantry companies equipped with wolf tooth rifles, one company could easily resist the attack of the other five companies and returned it. Five companies caused serious casualties.

In this way, the army officers and soldiers are all happy and dumbfounded. Compared with those heavy cannons, at the current tragic level of their army's animal power, even if their boss agrees to give them, they can't play. They can only set these cannons in fixed artillery bases and can't drag them to carry out mobile combat at all.

However, the use of light wolf-tooth rifles has finally obtained an effective weapon that can suppress all the enemy's firepower on land. At present, although the officers and soldiers have been equipped with some Hongyi cannons, these Hongyi cannons have never reached the level of popularity.

And these Hongyi cannons are very bulky, several times heavier than the sea wolf cannons. A Hongyi cannon that looks roughly similar to their mountain howitzer caliber weighs is also more than 2,000 catties. Although it is far away, it is useless in mobile warfare, especially in encounters, officers and soldiers There is not even a chance to place these cannons.

So at present, there is nothing better than cannons to meet their needs than wolf tooth rifles. Therefore, when Yu Xiaotian ordered the production of wolf tooth rifles at full speed and equip them to the army, these army officers grinned happily and no longer complained in private, thinking that they had fewer cannons. .

In addition to the full production of gunfire, artillery, ammunition factory and gunpowder factory in recent months, the other two ships have also been madly engaged in shipbuilding.

For the time being, the main focus of Danshuizhai is still focusing on the construction of flying-shaped fast ships. Since Yu Xiaotian "guiding" them to adopt standardized production, the shipbuilding speed of the freshwater boat has been greatly improved. A large number of craftsmen are no longer waiting to work on the ship, but directly set the standard in various workshops of the boat. The quasi-chemical parts are produced and continuously used directly on the platform.

And under the "concern" of Xiaotian, they have long been used to strictly controlling the tolerance of parts. Although craftsmen have something in their minds about how to build a ship in this era, they seriously lack the concept of tolerances. At the beginning, the parts on the ship they produced were quite large.

In order to carry out standardized production, it is necessary to unify measurement tools. This has been done by Yu Xiaotian a long time ago, and specially made some general standard rulers, so that workshops can use standard rulers as their production basis, and also made simple micrometers.

However, the craftsmen of Chuanliao do not seem to be very good at manufacturing parts according to fixed size and shape. Although they have these standardized measuring tools, the first batch of components they produced still do not meet the requirements, and even the tolerance is ridiculously large. Yu Xiaotian's repeated requirements are not good. Half dead.

Later, Yu Xiaotian had no choice but to use the method of stopping rules to solve this problem.

The general regulation is actually a special mold for fixed inspection of parts, which has long been popularized in the production of gunning and artillery and ammunition factories.

Especially in gunworks and ammunition factories, the division of labor began at the beginning. When each craftsman was only responsible for the production of one or two parts, there was a problem with the tolerance of the parts produced. Yu Xiaotian repeatedly stressed that it was not allowed. Parts with too much tolerance caused the gun to be assembled and could not be used at all. This has also produced a lot of waste.

So Yu Xiaotian had no choice but to implement the general rules in those workshops, making a standard mold according to the pattern of standard parts. After producing the parts, the craftsman only needs to put the parts in the mold. If it can't be put in, the parts will be bigger. If it's easy Just put it in, indicating that the part is small and must be tightly attached to the mold, so that such a part is basically qualified.

After using this method, the problem of too much tolerance in the production of gun-made parts can be completely solved. The parts manufactured by craftsmen must pass the test before they can be delivered to the assembly process. In this way, all parts are made from the same mold, and there is no difference, and the tolerance is also It was controlled within the smallest range before a qualified gun was produced.

The same is true for ammunition. The originally cast shells and projectiles also have a problem of too much tolerance, and this problem was finally solved through the method of stopping regulations.

Now, this method can only be used to solve the problem of too much tolerance of ship parts. First, a mold is made for each kind of part. In the future, when the craftsman produces the same parts, the parts must be tightly stitched into the mold to be qualified.

In this way, the standardized production of Chuanliao is officially on track. Once the craftsmen learn to use this method to control the tolerance of parts, the quality of the parts produced is quite good.

Various standard parts are continuously manufactured from the shed and then sent to the platform and assembled on the ship, including the openings, which have been made in advance. The tenon and brevis structure is exactly the same. When assembling, only a small amount of correction is needed to install it.

This makes the shipbuilding speed of the ship quickly increase like a rocket. It turns out that when the workers of the shipyard adopt the old method of building one by one, even if they work overtime all night, it will take at least three to four months, or even five or six months to build a flying-size fast ship.

However, after adopting the standardized production process in six years of Apocalypse, Chunliao adopted the method of one platform and two ships at the same time to speed up the construction speed, which greatly improved the construction speed of the flying fast ship. After entering June, the first batch of standardized students The flying-shaped fastships began to be shipped. After that, two flying-shaped fast boats were shipped into the freshwater boats every month. By the end of September, the freshwater shipliao had a total of nine flying-shaped fast boats.

This has made the number of sea wolf flying fastships exceed 20, reaching 23, forming a certain scale, so that the sea wolf has also obtained a relatively abundant controllable fast combat power in the near sea.

According to the shipbuilding speed of the freshwater ship, seven to nine flying fastboats will be built by the end of the year, bringing the number of flying fast ships of sea wolves to another level. Such a light, fast fleet with considerable firepower will be a nightmare for any enemy.

The news of the Spaniard who had been waiting for a long time finally came. At the end of September, the Spaniard sent a man from Manila, but did not send a ship, but took a Chinese merchant ship to Manila to Nanri Island.

The Spaniard named Blanco is a Spanish businessman in Manila and a member of the Manila Parliament. This time, he was entrusted by Scherva, the Spanish Governor-General in the Philippines, to act as a Spanish envoy to negotiate with the sea wolf to resolve the conflict between the two sides in the area of Chicken Cage Bay.

Blanco is about 30 years old, with a beautiful moustache and well-dressed. He is a quite beautiful Spanish man, quite gentlemanly.

Yu Xiaotian met the Spanish envoy in his former study and asked someone to take him to the former study.

"Your Excellency, my name is Blanco, a member of Parliament of the Kingdom of Spain in Manila. This time, on the order of our Governor, I am here to visit you!" Blanco stood in front of Xiaotian, pretended to be as calm as possible, and said to Xiaotian.

On his way here, he felt a little uneasy, because he didn't know what the Chinese pirate leader he was about to see would have towards him.

In his impression, the leaders of these Chinese pirates are dirty, rough, cunning and ferocious, and like to kill people. They seem to take killing or abuse as a pleasure. This time, he was ordered to negotiate with the sea wolf and didn't know what fate awaits him.

But he has to come again, because if he doesn't come, he will have no foothold in Manila in the future. In addition, he also has business to do. If he doesn't agree to come to negotiate with the sea wolf, then his business can't go on.

So he had to agree, boarded a cargo ship that they thought was a relatively strong Chinese maritime merchant, and came to Nanri Island. On the way, the boat he took took more than a month to send him to Nanri Island.

It turned out that he wanted Shierva to send him a boat to send him, but this request was decisively rejected by Shierva, because Shierva was worried that if he rushed to send a boat to Nanri Island without knowing the attitude of the sea wolf, it was likely that the ship would not be able to return.

So only one Chinese merchant ship was entrusted to send Blanco to Nanri Island to avoid causing greater losses.

(I'm a little dizzy these two days, and I forgot to thank the GZG1972 brothers for their reward! Thank you for asking for a monthly pass and a reward! Ha ha, thank you for your support! In addition, I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival!)
