Chapter 149: Production thinking

"Everyone is coming. Then just sit down." Shang Wen waved his hand.

"Don't be restrained." Seeing that no one was sitting, Shang Wen took the initiative to sit down and saw Shang Wen sitting down. Everyone is not too restrained.

Shangwen sees a lot of facts and there are many questions about production. Such problems must be consciously improved. But according to the current situation, no one can realize this.

"Today we are summoning everyone to talk about some recent problems. I didn't pay much attention to these problems before. Now, the situation has a tendency to develop badly. We must take measures to change this situation." Shang Wen said straightforwardly.

"The first is safety." Shang Wen said solemnly.

"Today, I found a workshop that produces bullets. There are a lot of gunpowder on the table, and not far from the gunpowder. There is actually an open flame. Now bullets use granular gunpowder. This kind of gunpowder is the same as a high explosive. As long as a certain amount of gunpowder is needed. An open flame would explode. It is estimated that there were more than two hundred people present at the scene. If an accident occurs, these two hundred people will be lost in a short time. As for the injured, it is estimated that they will not survive too long." Shang Wen is serious. Speaking of.

"I want to tell you." Shang Wen stood up.

"We are in a period of change in history. In the past, our soldiers, including now, of course, our soldiers were armed with spears, halberds, halberds, and long swords. But now, we have muskets, Artillery, more powerful weapons will be available in the future." Shang Wen put his hands on the table and looked at everyone.

"What does this mean. Hmm. Zhang Yuan. Do you know what?" Shang Wen asked.

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said he didn't know.

"In order to kill more people, we used to make our weapons sharper. In order to stay away from the enemy. We invented the spear and invented the bow and arrow, but these require very strong soldiers to do it. And it kills. The effect is not very good. But gunpowder appeared. Gunpowder broke all the balance. Our soldier can no longer be strong, as long as he is strong. As long as he holds a musket, it is easy to buckle With the trigger, a strong enemy soldier can be killed. It is no exaggeration to say that a half-year-old child can do these things too."

"Do you know what this means?" Shang Wen asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Humans are a complicated animal. They are different from other animals because they have this." Shang Wen pointed to his head and said.

"They have a well-developed brain. They have a rich imagination. And they have endless levels of creativity."

"When the physical fitness needs to be strengthened to the extreme, people will do everything possible to maximize the various functions of the body. For example, our arms, I need very long arms, we will invent the spear, Bows and arrows. We need fast legs. We will domesticate those horses. These are controlled by the brain. The brain is invented and created."

"People have different ways of thinking in the brain. People have different creative abilities. Therefore, we should pay attention to everyone's life. The end of life is the end of the brain and the end of thinking." Shang Wen said.

Everyone nodded and agreed with this statement.

"So, next, we must ensure the safety of everyone's life. Understand? Human life is more important." Shang Wen emphasized again.

"Specifically, as for the production of bullets, I plan to produce them all separately. Follow the assembly line. First, female workers who are familiar with bullet installation will arrange for the first process. They will install the finished bullets and paper tubes. Then, put them in. Ok. Go to the second process. Place gunpowder. For gunpowder, I think it should be in a certain amount, which is fixed. We need to separate in advance. As for this, we will talk about it later. This requires a machine to do it. Do. Then, fill. Then seal. Then, under the premise of ensuring safety, absolutely guarantee. Seal with grease. Understand?" Shang Wen briefly said.

"Understood." The female worker in charge of bullet production nodded and said.

"Very good." Shang Wen said.

"The next question is not about safety. It is about thinking mode." Shang Wen flipped through his notebook.

"I checked the artillery casting process, it was very messy. And I already mentioned the use of iron molds, why there is no large-scale use. I want to know the answer to this question." Shang Wen pointed out the artillery problem.

Before Shangwen's meeting, King Qin and a number of important officials had arrived. King Qin quickly searched for Shangwen. Only Shangwen knew about some of the problems, but the room had been searched, but he didn’t see Shangwen. King Qin ordered someone to look for him. Soon someone came to report that a meeting was being held and there should be no meeting. People bother. King Qin became interested when he heard it. So he went outside the house with the ministers.

"The King" Li Si said to King Qin.

"Hush." ​​King Qin motioned not to speak loudly. As he spoke, he stepped forward gently. Listen carefully to Shang Wen talking about weapons production.

"This, many craftsmen are still uncomfortable." Chen Da said.

This reason is reluctant. Shang Wen thought in his heart.

"Okay, I know. Then I'll talk about other things. Maybe you can recognize the problem." Shangwen said. Shang Wen felt that Chen Da’s problem should be regarded as an ancient Chinese common problem. Young people generally have a sense of innovation when dealing with new technologies. However, as they age, this instinct to master new technologies becomes more and more conservative. They hope that this technology will remain conservative. Or one's own children and grandchildren must enjoy the benefits brought by this technology. This kind of welfare is very pitiful. Because their social status has not improved much. Instead, it hinders the development of this technology, because a technology cannot be applied on a large scale. It will cause a chain reaction. Modern production methods have proven the consequences of this error. Steel needs chemistry. Chemistry requires other disciplines, for example. The extractive industries and so on support each other. If you can't cooperate with each other. Then the problem will be catastrophic. This is nothing to say.

"How do you say that." Shang Wen didn't have a good example to illustrate this problem. Because many examples are produced by the descendants of these ancients. Should we use examples of their children and grandchildren to educate them? This is irony, not education.

"Let's take weapons as an example."

"Do you know the population of Qin State?" Shang Wen asked.
