Chapter 151: Adapt to the current situation

"So, we have to take the initiative to improve and discover what we haven't discovered. We use intellectual property to protect your ideas, protect your ideas, and ensure that you profit from it. At the same time, you must continue to invent and create , Only in this way can your technology be continuously adopted and we can continue to make progress. We can earn more wealth. The wealth distributed to you is the same. My interests are in one piece. Understand?" Shang Wen said To.

"Understand." Everyone nodded.

"To ladies and gentlemen." Shang Wen said of the touching place, and suddenly ignored the sense of the times of the language. Words like Mrs. and Mrs. were not usable in the Warring States Period.

"We are creating a new history. The advent of gunpowder has made weapons more powerful. A mighty general may die in the hands of an inconspicuous soldier. Because they have muskets in their hands. Bullets don’t have eyes. They don’t care about you. Is it a general or a soldier."

"This era is an era of knowledge. We use human-specific thinking and unique ideas. Create this era. Why. Because we use our minds to bring out our bodily functions.

We can build bigger and faster machines. These machines are hundreds of times as many as human hand-made. We have to use machines to defeat those backwards. "Shang Wen said.

"This era is the era of machines. The era of knowledge." Shang Wen said.

"This is what the times need is, tens of thousands of people like you, me, and him create together, not individuals. It is a collective. We should work together. Break the narrow consciousness. Fuse together."

"Well, give it a place, let's talk about the specifics. Remember what we said today, we are creating a new era." Shang Wen emphasized.

"First of all, we must improve those backward production methods in production."

"At present, Da Qin's army does not have a large number of guns and artillery, and Da Qin sold the only artillery and guns to the country of Yan. If it does not surprise me, this time the army of Zhao country will be weakened by the weak Yan country. It was a complete defeat."

"With the victory of the Kingdom of Yan, all countries will be disturbed by the terrorist power of this weapon. They will have fear. In order to appease the fear in their hearts, they will definitely buy a large amount of artillery in our hands. The firearms are already other similar products. ."

"What did you see?" Shang Wen asked.

"Wealth." Zhang Yuan said actively.

"Yes. It's wealth, a large amount of wealth. But this wealth will come quickly and go quickly. We need to catch him." Shang Wen made a gesture of grasping.

"The six countries definitely need a lot of guns and artillery, but our productivity is very limited at present. This has become a serious problem. And it is very serious." Shang Wen said seriously.

"We can only produce a part of guns and artillery. To meet the needs of some of them. And for others, they will also buy, but the amount of purchase is very small, not because they don't want to buy. It is because they can't buy it. Huge demand. Very small output. This is a contradiction. This contradiction will prompt the six countries to do everything possible to meet this demand. They will unanimously embark on the road of imitation. They only need to buy a part of the guns and artillery, and they can do it on a large scale. Imitated production. To be honest, this type of musket does not have much technical content except for the action and barrel. They will quickly catch up with us. In this way, their wealth will not be in our hands.

Do you want to see such results? "

Everyone shook their heads.

"I don't want it either. I don't want the wealth in my hand to be robbed like this by others. We urgently need this money. We need this money for many things. Repair the house. Marry a wife for a banquet... "Shang Wen said the most plain ideas of those craftsmen.

"For all of this, we have to improve quickly." Shang Wen said.

"So, now, let's discuss the specific approach." Shang Wen turned the topic around at once.

"The first is the barrel problem. Our barrel production problem is really too big. Moreover, it is currently the only major factor hindering the production of firearms."

"The gun barrels we produce are half machine-made, and the others usually need to be made by hand. Today, a person gave me an inspiration. I don't know if this is considered as an infringement of intellectual property rights." Shang Wen opened a small one. Joke. But everyone looked at Shang Wen in a daze. Shangwen, who was so boring, had no choice but to continue his topic.

"The barrel has a threaded rifling, which can make the bullet fly faster and hit farther. The power is even greater. This kind of barrel needs a blade to rotate the rifling in the inner wall of the barrel." Shang Wen made a stroke. .

"Oh." Shang Wen saw that everyone didn't understand.

"This way. Zhang Yuan, go get your barrel." Shang Wen said.

"Here." He said and ran away.

"Similarly, since the rifling can be made, if the blade is deeper. We can make a round hole in a thicker tube. It's like a tunnel." Everyone still didn't understand.

"That's it." Shang Wen took out his pencil. In my notebook, start to sketch.

"First of all, we produce a rough tube. It is a very iron stick." Shang Wen said.

"Next, we fixed him." Shang Wen drew the fixing frame. Fix the machine tool.

"Then, we let a spiral iron rod with a large number of blades spin in. Do you understand?" Shang Wen said.

"Oh, I see." A craftsman first realized. This man has been making barrels. Of course, it is better to understand first than others.

"You guys." Shang Wen said.

Everyone looked at a loss.

"Forget it. This process is solved."

"We have to solve the mold problem."

"Not only when pouring artillery, we need a lot of iron molds, but we also need more molds elsewhere. For example, bullets. Not only can we produce molds, but also suppress more parts, such as guns. Machine. There are also some parts of the sewing machine." Shang Wen said.

"Everyone has a lot to ask me." Shangwen saw many people hesitating to speak.

"We have to do a lot. Take your time."

"The first is to use the hydraulic press. The thin iron plate is pressed. With the iron plate, we make different shapes on the machine tool and then press it. Because of the different status of the machine tool, the iron plate is strongly squeezed. It will change into the shape we want."

"This kind of bullet can also be suppressed, provided that we have to produce a large number of molds."
