Chapter 208: Wood processing issues

"I'm telling you, this thing, if you want to drink it, will kill you. This is methanol, not the ethanol used for drinking. You know? It will kill." Shang Wen deliberately scared.

"Dead, how can wine die." Old man Wei seems to not take this set.

"This is methanol, which is highly toxic. A little bit will make you blind. A little bit more, your old life will die." Shang Wen said.

"Don't try. I still have things, don't move." Shang Wen said as he kept the alcohol in the cabinet. Then, he took out his notebook and went to do things.

"Dead people. Yes, people will die. Only drunk people will die. Hehe." Old man Wei looked back at Shang Wen leaving, and went to the cabinet to get alcohol.

"En. Fragrant. This guy has a lot of skills. He can also make wine." Old man Wei took the alcohol and smelled it.

Speaking and took a sip.

"Ah." Old man Wei exclaimed somewhat.

"It's really strong." Old man Wei slapped and jumped while fanning his mouth with his hand.

There are many things that Shangwen wants to solve. With this old man, don't think about solving anything.

Shangwen received a report of the slow manufacturing of the airship yesterday. Shang Wen is a little weird. Follow the craftsmanship of the master carpenter. It is impossible for this to happen. And the place where the problem occurred is just above the wood. Shangwen decided to see what happened first.

Shang Wen soon came to the workshop where the airship was built. The main body of the airship is the airbag. These airbags have been handed over to the textile workshop for completion. This workshop mainly completed the lower part of the airship. Shangwen designed a brand-new pod that uses the principle of a glider. But when Shangwen saw the real thing, he felt that his design was a little lacking. The airship adopts the glider's pod to protect the safety of the pilot as much as possible. But processing is difficult. The engine of the engine has been advanced, and the installation of the control device has become much more difficult.

There is a contradiction between the characteristics of the glider and the pilot pod. Glider pays attention to balance. It cannot be weightless at both ends, but the pilot’s pod is on the contrary, it is required to be fixed under the airship. Add the weight of the steam engine, and the propulsion, control device, and the transmission device. These devices will immediately reject this design.

Shang Wen immediately found the person in charge and listened to the processing. Redesign the plan. The blueprint of the plan cannot be carried out in accordance with the current project. The feasibility of the whole design scheme is very poor, and it cannot be completed at all.

As for the new plan. Shang Wen still feels that he is taking a conservative line. Design and build in accordance with the original model of Flying Eagle One. Time is running out. The pilot's parachuting training is about to end. After they are over, the flight course will begin. If there is no aircraft at that time, the Celestial Army can be disbanded and incorporated into the Navy and Army.

After Shangwen rejected his plan, he ordered the airship manufacturing workshop to design it on its own. Then went to check the wood processing.

Shang Wen checked the wood processing. The tools are still the original tools, without any upgrades at all. Craftsmen still use traditional tools to process airships. No wonder there will be problems with wood processing. For thin wood only, a whole piece of wood is needed, and then planed by hand, and then feel the precision of the processing by hand.

Needless to say the rest. The design of the main beam is estimated to be the same. Hollow out the round wood in the center. It is estimated that this traditional method is also used for processing. It is no wonder that the airship is not progressing smoothly. One is the problem of its own design. The other is the backwardness of processing tools. Want to process such a big airship. It is already the limit of traditional carpenters.

Shangwen immediately began to design a series of processing machinery. Rotary cutting machine, planing machine. These machines are divided into vertical and horizontal types according to different types. This is very similar to a machine tool for processing gun barrels.

With these machines, some thin wood boards and some wooden processed products can be produced quickly. It's not just that. After the beginning of spring next year, the railway will be built. If you follow this processing speed. I don't know how many carpenters need to be transferred to work with a big saw.

Thinking of this, Shangwen had to build a circular saw. Perform preliminary processing. If the sawing is done manually, it is estimated that the entire industry will soon collapse.

With these drawings, Shangwen still needs processing. Shangwen went to the hydraulic press to process these parts without any delay. Wood processing should be carried out non-stop.

Shang Wen is instructing the processing of mechanical parts. Li Xin came to find it.

"What's the matter?" Shang Wen asked with sweat.

"The people in the printing workshop sent the textbook materials you printed. Are they sending them down now?" Li Xin asked.

"Post it. Let them read it first. Keep watching if they don't understand. Free to use their ideas." Shang Wen said.

"Understood. Sir. There is also the issue of military uniforms, and the Navy sent someone to look for you. Look?" Li Xin said again.

"Military uniform, what's the problem with military uniform?" Shang Wen asked.

"The navy is now called the navy. Don't always use the old name. Go and choose the navy. I know what's going on with the uniform." Shang Wen suddenly remembered. The officers themselves wore indecent clothes. There is simply no military power to speak of.

"Me." Li Xin asked incredulously.

"Yes, it's just you. How to choose the heavenly army, you can choose the navy, but they all have to be able to swim. Don't drown when you say that you are a navy instead of swimming. Such jokes don't appear in Daqin. In naval history, it will do." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, sir." Li Xin gave a military salute.

"After these things are finished, teach them how to line up. And salute the army." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, sir." Li Xin saluted again.

"Go ahead." Shang Wen waved.

"Huh." Shang Wen exhaled heavily. They are busy going round and round now, and they don't even know what to do with these little things. Shang Wen felt a little tired. The burden is too heavy. The construction of the navy also depends on itself.

In the history that I know, there is no one in Qin with naval qualifications. They are basically all army officers. Let a single service suddenly become an army of the three services. The difficulty can be imagined. Two of these services are built on their own.

Shang Wen sat outside the workshop and thought about it. Decided to dig someone. First train officers. How to train your subordinates, do it yourself. Complete decentralization. Whether you have done well or not, we will talk about it then.

To dig people, Shang Wen doesn't know how many people in the army can dig. Think of the army. Shangwen felt that Wang Ben should be dug up. Then let Wang Ben dig by himself, so that he can save most of his time and energy to do other things.
