Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1424: Technological innovation!

"Master, Mr. Mo and Miss Mo are here~! Oh, Master Yan is here too!"

At around Shenshi, Song Xiaosi led Mo Huai and Mo Lingwei to Li Zexuan’s office in the workshop. Amazingly, Mo Lingwei followed Yan Shaoning behind him. Li Zexuan saw that he was surprised and secretly said that Yan Shaoning was Has his father-in-law Mo Huai been done?

"Shanchang, I heard that you have something to tell us?"

Mo Huai arched his hands and said.

Li Zexuan hurriedly greeted: "Mr. Mo, Miss Mo, please sit down. I am looking for you to come here this time because I intend to let our workshop start a new round of technological innovation. There are many aspects involved, and it is necessary. You guys help!"

"Technological innovation? Then, Xiao...Why didn't you call me Shanchang?"

Yan Shaoning heard this, somewhat dissatisfied.

Li Zexuan said in a huff: "This didn't call you, didn't you come here too? I called Miss Mo, isn't it the same as calling you too?"

"Hey! What this says..."

Yan Shaoning couldn't help but laugh, but Mo Lingwei blushed, and bitterly twisted Yan Shaoning's arm.

"Ahem!"

Mo Huai's eyes are so sharp, how can he not notice the little movements of these two people? His old face went dark immediately, he coughed heavily, and said: "Zhangchang, there is nothing we need to do with the father and daughter. Just say it, Mo must do his best!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Sit down first! Let's sit down and talk slowly!"

Several people Yiyan sat around a glass coffee table. Thanks to Li Zexuan's office being large enough, even if there were seven or eight people sitting there, it didn't seem crowded. After everyone sat down, Li Zexuan took out a few drawings, spread them out, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, at present we not only own dams, but also have waterwheels. In addition to irrigating farmland, this waterwheel can also provide power for machines. I don’t need to say this. You should all understand it. The first thing we need to do is to build a hydraulic press. This is the drawing of the hydraulic press.

After the punching machine is completed, the waterwheel needs to be transformed into power equipment that can be docked with the punching machine. This is nothing more than the addition of some crank connecting rods for transmission. After the transformation, the punching machine can be docked with the waterwheel Driven by the waterwheel, it can replace manpower to repeatedly forge steel, and its impact force is almost the same every time. For precision forging, the effectiveness of this thing is by no means comparable to that of manpower. ratio! "

Mo Huai looked at the drawings carefully. After a while, he nodded and said: "Shanchang, there is no problem with the transformation of the stamping machine tool and the waterwheel. These two things are covered by the old man!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "I also have this intention. This Bahe Dam Mr. Mo has been involved from beginning to end. Now the hydraulic machine tool is hosted by you, that is the most appropriate! This matter, in the workshop Everyone will do their best to help you!"

"Thank you for the long mountain!"

Mo Huai arched his hands and said.

Li Zexuan smiled, and then said: "Brother Zhang, after the hydraulic stamping machine is completed, you will bring all the blacksmiths in the workshop to produce the plate armor I gave you. Such a plate armor, at least Five thousand sets to be made!"

At the beginning, Li Er asked him to talk to him and said that he wanted to expand the Xuanjia Army from 3,000 to 5,000. After the expansion, the Xuanjia Army will have to update its ordnance and equipment, and these ordnance equipment must be all Supplied by Qiquge Workshop, and must be made of vanadium steel!

"Five...five thousand sets? Hou Ye, did I hear you right?"

Zhang Hongsheng shook his body and almost fell off the chair. He opened his mouth wide and said in amazement.

The rest of the people in the office also looked at Li Zexuan in shock. Apparently everyone was shocked by the news that Li Zexuan was about to build five thousand sets of armor.

"Shanchang, what do you want to make so many armors for? In case someone finds out, then..."

After the shock, Mo Huai asked worriedly.

Building weapons without permission is a capital crime!

Li Zexuan said lightly: "Mr. Mo don't have to panic, this is a task entrusted by your majesty, not a violation of the law!"

Mo Huai felt relieved when he heard this.

Li Zexuan looked at Zhang Hongsheng again and said, "Brother Zhang, these five thousand sets of plate armor are not made by you alone. You only need to teach other craftsmen how to forge!"

Zhang Hongsheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Master Hou, I don’t mean that. I’m just worried about the five thousand armor sets. The steel required is extremely amazing, and the workshop is afraid it’s unbearable! Especially vanadium steel, which is so rare. , Isn’t it a waste to make armor?"

Li Zexuan couldn’t help but smile and said, “You don’t have to worry about this. Benhou now has iron ore, coal, and vanadium ore. Besides, the iron ore of the Changsun family can also support our workshop, even if we build another 5,000 sets of plates. A, Benhou can also bear it!"

The northern Turks are the real confidant of Datang. Li Zexuan is now considered a big family in the Tang Dynasty, and his family is also very happy. He is determined not to allow the Turks to destroy his current good life, as long as he can If you get rid of the Turks, what will he pay for some steel?

Li Er’s strategy is undoubtedly extremely wise. In the vast prairie, infantry plays a very limited role. Only the cavalry with strong mobility can gallop on the prairie and achieve a surprising victory. The trump card of the Tang cavalry trump card, Li Zexuan wants these five thousand Xuanjia army to transform into five thousand Iron Man, ramming and invincible in the nest of Turkic people!

At that time, the Xuanjia army in a new face will surprise everyone in the world!

Zhang Hongsheng understands the true background of the Qiqu Pavilion Workshop today. He clasped his fist and said: "In that case, Zhang will go all out and lead all the blacksmiths in the workshop in the shortest time. Build five thousand sets of plate armor for Lord Hou!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "It's so good! Before the hydraulic stamping machine was built, Brother Zhang could lead a blacksmith to build five thousand horses, all of which would be made of vanadium steel! , And build a batch of horseshoes!"

The weapons used by the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty are generally horses. This thing is longer than a sword. It is most convenient for a horse to stab people when charging. If it is made of vanadium steel, it will undoubtedly increase its sharpness. In the face of those Turkic soldiers wearing simple leather armor, it was like cutting melons and vegetables!

As for the horseshoes, after his family’s big white horseshoe was injured last year, he nailed the big white horseshoe, but it has not been promoted because of lack of iron at that time!

According to academic research, horseshoes first appeared in ancient Rome around the world, about the first century BC. This kind of horseshoe is either copper or iron, and its shape conforms to the lower part of a horse's hoof, but it is fixed to the present It is not the same. In addition to short nails, it also needs to be tied with leather. It is a bit similar to the "Roman shoes" worn by ancient Roman soldiers, so it is also called "horse sandals".

In China's Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, there is a "nailed horseshoe picture" on the wall of Cave 302 built in the 4th year of Emperor Kaihuang in Sui Dynasty (584 AD). From the picture, a horse is standing, tethered to a tree, and a person stands behind, holding the right hind limb of the horse, turning the hoof upside down. The hoof is painted with an oval hoof like a palm ready to be placed.

So some people speculate that China had horseshoes in the Sui Dynasty, but this claim has been lacking archaeological evidence to support, and according to the Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Rushi recorded the horses of the Great Food Kingdom in his book "Zhufanzhi" "Using iron as shoes" is very novel, which shows that horseshoes were not popular in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It is true that from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, horseshoes have not been found in the Central Plains. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that horseshoes began to be used on a large scale! As for why there is a Sui Dynasty "nailed horseshoe" in the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes frescoes, only God knows!

"Horseshoes? What is this?"

Zhang Hongsheng couldn't help but wonder.

Li Zexuan drew out a drawing and explained: "It is the shoes for horses to prevent the horseshoes from cracking due to long-term wear and tear, which can greatly reduce the loss of flattery! The appearance is like this, if you don’t understand, later I went to see the big white horse in Benhou's house. The horseshoes on its four hooves have been installed for almost a year!"

Zhang Hongsheng reacted and said happily: "Put shoes on the horse? Hou Ye, this is a good way! I don’t know how many horses have been crippled by cracked feet before Zhang. With this horseshoe, you can Good to prevent the horseshoe from straining!"

Everyone was amazed, Yan Shaoning couldn't help saying:

"Tsk tusk! Didn't I notice that your big white wears shoes before?"

Li Zexuan rolled his eyes and said out of anger: "That's your blindness~!"

"Pump!"

Mo Lingwei couldn't help laughing, but seeing Mo Huai's expression stern, she quickly stopped smiling.

"Oh! That's right! In addition to the horseshoes, you can make a batch of horse armors at that time. It doesn't need to be too thick, as long as it can withstand ordinary swords!"

Li Zexuan looked at Zhang Hongsheng and said again.

Regarding horse armor, leather vests have appeared in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. During the Three Kingdoms period, full-scale horse armors began to appear. This thing does not need to be given drawings at all. Li Zexuan believes that Zhang Hongsheng’s insights can definitely be made.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help taking a breath, vanadium steel armor, vanadium steel horses, horseshoes, horse armor, is Li Zexuan planning to build a super steel cavalry armed to the teeth?

They believe that such a terrifying cavalry, even if it is encountered by the Turkic cavalry, will feel a headache, because this is an invincible cavalry that has achieved the ultimate in attack and defense!

"Gudong!"

Even if Zhang Hongsheng is stupid, he understands that Li Zexuan is going to play a big ticket. He swallowed and responded with difficulty: "Yes! Lord Hou!"

Li Zexuan nodded, he took out the wind-chasing sword, handed it to Zhang Hongsheng, and said: "Okay, there will be nothing to confess to you next, take this wind-chasing sword first!"

Zhang Hongsheng looked surprised. Now he didn't dare to pick it up with one hand. Instead, he took it with both hands "vigorously", then bowed to Li Zexuan and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou for your trust! Three days later, Zhang Mouding After returning this chasing sword to Zhao, Zhang will go down here!"

"Hmm!"

Li Zexuan nodded and gave a hmm.

In other words, he is not worried about Zhang Hongsheng running away with his sword. After all, Zhang Yajiu's reputation is in charge there. If he can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple, right?

"Mr. Wang, Miss Mo, although the generators in the hydropower station can operate normally, the coils inside are not made of pure copper. This will greatly affect the efficiency of the generators, so I plan to make The second generation generator uses high-purity copper core to upgrade the existing generator!"

After Zhang Hongsheng left, Li Zexuan looked at Wang Ji and Mo Lingwei, and said.

"High-purity copper core? Shanchang, there are inevitably impurities in this copper, how do we purify it?"

Wang Ji frowned and asked.

Mo Lingwei also turned his attention to Li Zexuan. Although she is good at physics, she is definitely not weak in chemistry. After all, smart people learn everything fast. She has read the "Chemistry" textbook in the academy more than once. !

Li Zexuan replied in a deep voice: "Electrolytic refining! Now that we have electricity, we will use electrolytic refining to remove impurities in the blister copper and obtain high-purity brass! The specific steps are also very simple. Copper flakes are used as the anode, and sulfuric acid and bile alum aqueous solution are used as the electrolyte. When electricity is applied, the copper on the anode is dissolved and enters the solution, while the copper in the solution is precipitated on the cathode.

During this process, in addition to copper, there will be impurities such as iron and zinc in the blister copper hanging on the anode. Because iron and zinc are more active than copper, they can replace the copper in the electrolyte and precipitate at the cathode. Copper: When the activity of the metal is lower than that of copper~IndoMTL.com~, it cannot be dissolved and forms anode slime. In this way, the metal copper deposited on the cathode has a high purity. "

"That's it! The old man understands!"

Wang Ji pondered for a moment, nodded and smiled.

Li Zexuan sighed lightly and said: "That's good! An electrolysis workshop needs to be opened as soon as possible in the workshop, dedicated to refining copper!"

"Yes! The mountain is long!"

Wang Ji replied.

Li Zexuan looked at Mo Lingwei at this time and said: "Miss Mo, in addition to upgrading the generator, I also want you to help me build a kind of electric motor!"

"Motor? What is an electric motor?"

Mo Lingwei questioned.

Li Zexuan took out a thick stack of drawings and said: "The generator uses the principle of magnetism, while this motor uses the principle of magnetism. The general process is that the energized coil will generate a rotating magnetic field. Acting on the rotor, forming a magneto-electric power rotating torque, which will keep rotating! The detailed details are clearly drawn in these drawings. If Miss Mo has any doubts, please feel free to ask me."

Mo Lingwei said with joy: "Okay! The long mountain!"

"Hey! Shan Chang, Wei Er is just a daughter's home, you let her do so many things alone, do you have the heart?"

Yan Shaoning on the side couldn't help but complain.

Mo Lingwei glared at Yan Shaoning and said: "Humph! This is my voluntary, you must not blame the mountain!"

Li Zexuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Haha! Shaoning! If you can't bear it, you can help Girl Mo! You two are now colleagues, you should help each other!"

After that, he glanced at Mo Huai calmly, who had a sullen face, no happiness or anger at all. Li Zexuan couldn't help but murmured: Did Yan Shaoning manage Mo Huai?
