Chapter 108 Gao Su's slowdown

Xiao Tianjian was overjoyed. He quickly took out a pair of bird spears from it and played with them. These bird spears are the new bird spears newly created by Yang Changshou and others. They are very heavy and oppressing them. They have a sense of security when people hold them. Moreover, the workmanship of these bird spears is quite good, and the gap is accurate. The surface was also coated with a layer of animal grease to prevent rust, which was only transported to Lianhuazhai and sent to the army for use.

Xiao Tianjian was very happy after looking at it. He took a shot of bird and glanced at it before putting it back into the box. He smiled and asked Yang Changshou, "How many poles have been made?"

"There are a total of 30 poles. With the help of the drilling machine, the pipe will be built much faster. At the end of this month, more than 100 poles can be made. Originally, I wanted to send them to Lianhuazhai together at the end of this month, but the general came over. If the general is in a hurry, these 30 small poles will be sent first. !" Yang Changshou replied quickly.

"I didn't expect you to be so fast! Not bad, not bad! By the way, this alone is not good. There are also pliers to make projectiles, and the supporting items must be completed! Don't worry, don't worry! When I go back this time, I'll take it back by the way! Ha ha! By the way, I think about the projectile. If we can make it uniformly here, it's better to make it uniformly, so that the fireman can have less trouble, and the projectile made is also more regular! Yes! Just do this. The projectiles will be manufactured uniformly here, and then distributed uniformly!" Xiao Tianjian couldn't close his mouth happily and said to Yang Changshou.

"Little obey!" Yang Changshou quickly nodded and agreed.

The mass production of the new bird'ssuckle is a great good news for Xiao Tianjian. In this way, the miscellaneous birdsthes they use can finally be withdrawn from the army. This is a very important thing for the next step to improve the combat effectiveness of the Xing Tianjun. If Yang Changshou can produce If you increase a little more, in three months, with the current strength of Xing Tianjun, he can all change into a new-style bird gun, and once again increase the number of firemans and the ratio of firemans in the army. According to this, within a year, he can have more than 2,000 of this new bird gun. If he goes into battle again, the ordinary enemy He is no match for his Xing Tianjun.

Xiao Tianjian was very happy. He immediately told Tietou that he informed Zhang Chao to give Yang Changshou a reward and distributed to them with this month's wages. In this way, Yang Changshou and other craftsmen were also very happy, and even thanked Xiao Tianjian.

"Yes! How is the casting of cannons on Gao Su's side now? Xiao Tianjian suddenly remembered another thing and asked Yang Changshou.

After hearing this, Yang Changshou's face suddenly lengthened, and he curled his lips slightly and said, "In my opinion, that red-haired ghost is a liar at all. It's not here today, but tomorrow it's not possible. I can't find any trouble! Up to now, not a single cannon has been cast, but the craftsmen under him have been turned around!"

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian, who was still happy, immediately frowned, and he saw that Yang Changshou was still not interested in this Gao Su. Is it possible that this foreign devil is really a fool? Xiao Tianjian suddenly felt in a bad mood.

"That's it! I'd better see it myself!" Xiao Tianjian's face was cold, so he ordered to Tietou.

So the group immediately left Tiezuo and walked towards the newly built cannon workshop after the New Year.

The casting workshop is also a branch of the iron work. It is also located in the flat ground of the back mountain. It is just that a shed has been built for Gao Su in one corner, and the furnaces that should be built in it have also been built for him. After all, there is no shortage of craftsmen here. It is not difficult to do this matter, and the area is not small. It can be seen that Zhang Chao has Xiao Tianjian's After the order, I also attached great importance to this matter.

As soon as Xiao Tianjian entered here, he also felt the heat coming. Several furnaces were on fire and were smelting. The first batch of copper utensils and copper coins of various colors sent by Xiao Tianjian after the Spring Festival had already melted into copper ingots, and some craftsmen who knew this specially refined the miscellaneous copper so that they could reach At the request of Gao Su, what is being smelted now is a batch of copper ware that Luo Li grabbed outside after the Spring Festival. Each furnace is burning red. Some craftsmen are plugging copper water into the crucible and carrying it into copper ingots as raw materials for use.

After arriving here, Xiao Tianjian looked around but did not see Gao Su, so he asked the craftsmen here where Gao Su was.

The craftsman who was asked quickly saluted Xiao Tianjian and immediately replied, "The master craftsman should be in his room at this time, and the little one doesn't know what he is doing!"

Xiao Tianjian's face became worse. Everyone else was working, but this guy ran back to his residence to rest. Isn't this obviously lazy?

So he asked Gao Su's residence with a straight face, and immediately took Tietou, Yang Changshou and others to look for it. Yang Changshou showed a gloating expression, obviously waiting to see the red-haired ghost's joke.

Gao Su's residence was next to the casting workshop. Xiao Tianjian walked to the door without knocking on the door. He kicked the door open. As a result, a voice immediately came from inside: "Who is so rude? Don't you remember what I said? Do you have to knock on the door before entering?"

Xiao Tianjian strode into the room with a cold face. He saw Gao Su lying on the table and drawing something on the paper, so he asked him, "Others are busy. What are you doing here?"

Gao Su then turned his head and saw Xiao Tianjian, so he jumped up like a spring on his buttocks and bowed to Xiao Tianjian and said, "It turned out that the general is coming!" I don't know that the general will come. Please forgive me!"

Xiao Tianjian ignored him. He strode to his table and looked down. As a result, he saw all kinds of rulers, turrets and other things on the table, as well as some compasses. Obviously, these things were made after he came here, and the paper on the table was also written in words he couldn't understand. He wrote a lot of things and drawings. With a big look, he saw that this was originally a design drawing of Gao Su, and it was a cannon in the design. There were various Arabic numerals marked on it. Although Xiao Tianjian could not understand the text he marked, he could see that this guy's drawing ability was still very strong, even compared with It's not as good as his drawing level, but among all the craftsmen here in Shuangfengzhai, his drawing level is definitely the first.

It turned out that this guy was not lazy in the house, but was making design drawings here to prepare for the casting of cannons, so he calmed down a lot of anger. After calming down his anger, he asked Gao Su, "How is your cannon casting here now? I'm here this time to see the progress of your work! I didn't see you in the shed just now, so I found you here!"

Originally, Yang Changshou still expected to see Xiao Tianjian be angry with this red-haired ghost, but when he saw Xiao Tianjian twisting around the table, he calmed down, so he felt a little discouraged and did not dare to interrupt and accuse Gao Su, the red-haired ghost.

Gao Su quickly asked Xiao Tianjian to sit down. At this time, Xiao Tianjian found that this guy was actually very good at enjoying it. He cleaned his room and decorated it very comfortably. I don't know where it was. He touched a set of teapots and tea bowls and put them on the table, which made it quite elegant. It seems that this guy is still a guy who can enjoy life.

"General, there is a saying that you Orientals say that everything is difficult at the beginning! Think about it, when you come down here, there is almost nothing except the sword given by the general. Everything has to start from scratch. Our weights and measures are completely different from those in your country. If you want to make a qualified artillery, you have to convert it into our unit. Otherwise, you can't work. I spent a lot of effort on making these tools these days, and now I finally made them with the sword at hand, and now I'm designing the drawings, and I can open the mold immediately!

This time I want to use the most sophisticated technology to cast the cannon. I need a lot of wax and butter. In our country, it is called the wax loss method. This is a very detailed work. The reason why I didn't start this period is that I have to draw drawings first, and then prepare various materials. Now all kinds of raw materials have just been prepared. I plan to start the formal mold opening tomorrow. First, I will make a model with wax and butter, then make a clay mold, and finally finish the pouring!" Gao Su talked to Xiao Tianjian, and his Chinese level has improved a lot. It seems that this guy is a person with a relatively language talent and is very good at learning.

Yang Changshou, who was beside him, sneered on the spot. What he said to Gao Su can be said. In Gao Su's view, the wax loss method is a very high technology, but in China, the wax loss method has been a process that has lasted for thousands of years. At present, Daming craftsmen also mostly use lost wax for casting things. Law, and the guy said it in his mouth, as if it was very mysterious.

Xiao Tianjian also smiled. He also knows that the wax loss method is indeed a common precision casting method, which is more suitable for casting cannons. Moreover, the copper cannon casting by the wax loss method is very exquisite. Each cannon casting in Chengdu can be called a work of art, and he also understands that the wax loss casting process is actually not new in China. It can be said that it has been thousands of years, but one thing that makes him admire this foreign devil is that this guy is very serious, and any link can be said to be meticulous. This fully shows that this person is a rigorous person, so he should be at ease.

At present, from Gao Su to here, that is, a month, everything starts from scratch. If you want this guy to cast a cannon in a month, even if it is a finished product, I guess that Xiao Tianjian dares to use it or dares to use it. Casting a cannon is not a trivial matter. It is simple to say, but the preliminary preparation is still the same. When it is complicated, and he doesn't have many raw materials here, he needs to get them from the outside. Even the raw materials for making mud molds need to be carefully ground and sifted for later use. The complexity is not as simple as imagined, so the more prepared Gao Su is, the greater the probability of success. The quality will also be higher, so this matter can't be rushed. It has to come step by step. It is impossible to make a cannon machine gun in three or five days like some pig's feet in time-travel novels, and then the Buddha will kill the Buddha, and the immortals can't stop them!
