I’m The King Chapter 891: :Huanghuang Hanwei (16)

"Good thing, really good thing!" Gao Yuan smiled, and patted the fuselage of the magic machine crossbow vigorously, "Master Zhou, has this thing produced energy?"

Received Gao Yuan's affirmation and praise, Zhou Jingzhi burst into a smile, "Commander, this is a prototype after repeated improvements, and it is also a finalized machine. If the governor is satisfied, the workshop can be put into production immediately. "

"It's not that I'm satisfied, but I want to ask the generals who lead the troops if they are satisfied!" Gao Yuan turned his head and looked at a group of generals under his command, "How about it, let's talk about it!"

Xu Yuan was the first to jump out, and patted He Jingzhi's shoulder vigorously, "Boss He, our northern army wants a thousand units, is it okay?"

Xu Yuan is a military commander, but the master of He Jingzhi is just an ordinary craftsman. Although he is much stronger than ordinary scholars, he is comparable to Xu Yuan. Immediately, he was half short, and before he had time to speak, He Lanxiong laughed out loud.

"Commander Xu really has a big appetite, Mr. He, since that's the case, our Eastern Group Army needs 1,000 units."

Ye Zhong said leisurely again: "You two commanders, you seem to have forgotten that the military equipment of the army is uniformly deployed by the Ministry of War, right? Who will give it to whom? Master He can make the decision?"

Xu Yuan and He Lanxiong were stunned, but they saw that Ye Zhong had turned his face to Gao Yuan, with a smile on his face: "Commander, the northern army and the eastern army have been fighting continuously for the past year, and they have all been affected to varying degrees. Loss, the next step is to reorganize and train. For the time being, there will be no battles that require them to go out. However, our Southern Army will soon face combat missions in several directions. This magic crossbow, first give us a thousand Taiwan!"

Looking at Ye Zhong's appearance, two words popped into He Lanxiong's mind immediately: "shameless." .

Gao Yuan laughed, and instead of answering the words of the commanders, he said to He Jingzhi: "If this magic crossbow is put into mass production, how much can it be produced in a month, and how much will it cost?"

The weapons I made can be favored by several important generals, and He Jingzhi's eyes narrowed with a smile, "If you go back to the governor, if the whole workshop is fully put into production, it can probably make five weapons a month." There are about ten sets, and the cost of each set is four hundred taels of silver."

As soon as He Jingzhi finished speaking, gasping sounds came from the surroundings. The whole workshop was working hard, only fifty units a month, and only six hundred units a year, which is not enough for everyone to grit their teeth What's more, how could it be possible for the entire military workshop to devote itself to making this magical machine crossbow? Moreover, one set costs more than four hundred taels of silver, which is too expensive. If you buy this thing with a penny of money, I'm afraid it won't pass through the political affairs.

As soon as they thought about this, they immediately became dejected again. This thing, if there is less equipment, it will not show much power.

"What are you doing so delicately for killing people?" Gao Yuan ignored the disappointment of several generals, and stroked the cloud patterns carved on the body of the crossbow machine, "I'm afraid these patterns will require a job? And This bracket is so polished that it can be seen, this magic crossbow looks like a beautiful object, Mr. He, if you think about it again, how to shorten the working hours and reduce the cost, more than four hundred taels of silver , too expensive.”

"Yes, Governor, don't worry, we will definitely work hard. This one is a prototype. Everyone has put in more effort and strive to make it more beautiful."

"There is no need to do these face-saving efforts. What I want is the actual effect." Gao Yuan waved his hand, "However, it is a great achievement to be able to make this magic crossbow. If it can reduce costs and shorten working hours, I will give you one more great achievement, and you will be rewarded in the meeting hall later!"

"It's the duty of a subordinate official to do things for Zhengdong Mansion!" He Jingzhi smiled even more, but his mouth was still humble.

"Those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have done so must be punished. This is the rule of our conquest of the East Mansion!" Gao Yuan said with a smile, "You will make a list of those who have made meritorious deeds and report them first."

"Yes."

"What new things do you have here? Show them all to open your eyes!" Gao Yuan turned and walked towards the workshop, saying as he walked, "Let's go to the workshop."

He Jingzhi hurriedly chased after him, "For more than a year, the Nuji Workshop has been mainly developing this magic crossbow, and has no energy for other things. A kind of crossbow machine that can shoot thousands of arrows at once, but until now, it’s only in the beginning. Because of the shortage of funds, this is a few of them who are doing it by themselves, so they are doing it on and off.”

"Shoot thousands of crossbow arrows at one time!" He Jingzhi threw out this sentence, but it shocked everyone including Gao Yuan.

"Yes, Commander, they envisage installing this crossbow on a carriage and being dragged by the carriage."

"Vehicle crossbow!" A light flashed in Gao Yuan's mind, this is a big killer.

"It's very thoughtful, I will draw these people out to form a special research team, let them study this thing, and allocate additional funds." Gao Yuan stopped, "If it can be done, I will come to test it myself. "

"Yes, Commander!" He Jingzhi nodded repeatedly.

"Don't put pressure on them, work slowly and carefully."

During the conversation, a group of people have already walked into the huge workshop. The hundreds of meters long workshop production room is divided into production areas. Different areas are responsible for different production processes. The wheelbarrows shuttle back and forth in different areas, sending the products that have completed the first process to the next process. The whole workshop is busy and orderly. The workers inside include not only strong men, but also old people and women. .

"Why are there still old people and women?" Ye Zhong frowned.

"Commander Ye, the elderly and women are engaged in light work that does not require physical strength. These people are also the family members of the craftsmen here. Recruiting them to do the work will reduce their going out. Opportunities, so as not to be taken advantage of by those who are interested, in addition, they can also increase their income, which was also approved by Director Cao of the Overwatch Council." He Jingzhi repeatedly explained.

"Captain, is this what you call assembly line work?" Xu Yuan asked aside, "Each person is only responsible for one process, so they only need to specialize in this one, so that the production speed and production accuracy can be accelerated. , improve quality?"

"That's the truth!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "The Qin people are also very particular about the production of weapons. For example, each of their crossbow arrows must be engraved with the name of the maker. If there is a problem, the responsibility of the producer can be checked according to the name. This way, the quality is improved, but the efficiency is reduced. Once the war is fought for many years, there will inevitably be problems in supply.”

"Then how do we guarantee the quality here?" Xu Yuan looked at He Jingzhi.

"Returning to the commander, here, we have one or two quality inspectors for each process. Not every product is inspected, but a certain amount will be randomly inspected. Once a problem is found during the random inspection, The whole batch has to be sent back for rework. We implement piecework wages here, so no one dares to be sloppy with quality. If problems occur more than three times in a month, it’s not just that you can’t get wages. It is a question of being punished." He Jingzhi replied: "So the products produced by our workshop have never had any quality problems."

"It sounds like they are much stronger than the Qin people." He Lanxiong said with a smile.

Gao Yuan smiled without saying a word, "Boss He, take us to see the armor workshop. I heard that you have made a stamping machine?"

"Yes, Commander, since we started to use plate armor in the Eastern Army, the military has ordered more and more orders from the military. However, this kind of plate armor seems simple to make, but it needs to be hammered out by craftsmen. , not only requires a lot of manpower, but also has low efficiency, so several master craftsmen in our workshop tried to make this thing, first stamping and thinning the iron plate, then cutting it and polishing it manually, the speed is faster than It has increased dozens of times before. And the old craftsmen who invented this punching machine were also rewarded by the Zhengshitang, and now they are all officials."

Before entering the workshop where the armor is made, the loud bang bang bang bang has already reached the ears. The generals in charge of the army know that in the army, plate armor has gradually replaced other armors such as Mingguang armor , armor such as chain mail is being equipped on a large scale in the army. In the past, ordinary soldiers had very poor armor or no armor at all, but now, plate armor has begun to be installed, and the survival rate of soldiers on the battlefield has greatly increased, but they do not know this. How did the thing come out? Compared with other armors, plate armor is easy to wear, and its protective ability is also greatly increased. It can not only block arrows, but also have a considerable blocking effect on close-range slashing. The favorite of frontline soldiers.

Walking into the factory building, what caught their eyes was a huge hammer-like thing hanging at different heights, some were falling, and some were slowly rising. Behind him, the ones pulling these huge hammers up turned out to be strong bulls. The strong bulls walked slowly around a thing like a millstone. The millstone turned and twisted the iron chain. After three laps, the hammers were lifted up. , and then fell down with a bang, and hit the iron plate on the platform below heavily. Repeatedly, on one side of the platform, several workers pulled the iron plate, causing various places to be hammered continuously, so that the iron plate was evenly distributed. thinning.

On the other side, there are thinned iron plates that have been cut into small pieces. Some workers are sanding the edges, while in the farther place, others are drilling holes in these thin plates and wearing leather. After the leather rope is tied, a piece of plate armor is freshly baked.

"So it was made like this." Xu Yuan and the others were a little shocked.

Looking at all this, Gao Yuan also nodded slightly. Human wisdom is truly inexhaustible. Even such a thing has been produced by them. It seems that I can tell him the idea of ​​the hydraulic stamping machine, although I don't know how that thing was made, but as long as I have this idea, these experienced craftsmen may be able to tinker with it.
