The foreigners of the East Chamber, the craftsmen and workers of the War Bureau, and even the young eunuchs who passed by also rushed over. They looked at the rapidly spinning flywheels and exclaimed one after another!
" Congratulations, host. You have completed the construction of the steam engine model. You are rewarded with 100 imperial points. You have entered the steam era. You have unlocked the technology page. Currently, you have one scientist. You are rewarded with a set of single-stream steam engine blueprints..."
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the wooden barrel that couldn't withstand the high temperature exploded. Hot water poured down like rain, scalding the few East Chamber natives nearby.
The crowd burst into laughter. Zhu Youxiao wiped the water off his face and shook his head with a bitter smile.
It seemed that it was still immature and needed to be improved!
Song Yingxing's face turned red. He picked up a thick stack of blueprints and went into the house. He did not sleep or rest every day. He tested and tested again and again, painstakingly studying the mature steam engine technology.
Zhu Youjian ordered the repair of the destroyed No.1 machine. In the square of the War Bureau, a huge blast furnace was erected. The flames in the blast furnace were raging. Through the iron pipes skillfully forged by the blacksmiths, the steam was continuously transported to the flywheels on the side.
A huge iron fly-wheel slowly rotated under the push of steam, driving the hammer below to smash heavily on the anvil, making a dull sound.
An old blacksmith picked up a piece of red-hot iron and placed it on the anvil. After a few clanks, it was smashed into a flat piece of iron.
"The young prince is truly a genius. With this thing, we can save a lot of manpower!”The blacksmith surnamed Cao picked up the flattened piece of iron and examined it carefully under the sun, praising it sincerely.
Normally, it would be impossible to forge such a flat piece of iron from this iron ingot without a big hammer that could swing a strong man for an entire day.
"It's just that the consumption of coal has increased by 70%.”Eunuch Han walked over and looked at the large piece of metal that had been forged smoothly. He was also shocked. He had been in charge of the War Bureau for many years and had personally polished knives, spears, swords, and halberds. However, he had never expected that the mere four hundred people in the War Bureau could forge more than ten thousand catties of iron in a day with this steam forging machine!
This was unimaginable in the past!
"This item has more uses than that." Zhu Youxiao looked at the mountain of iron sheets and smiled faintly." If a steam engine is installed on a ship, it can drive a huge ship across the ocean and roam the world.”
"It actually has such a wonderful effect!" Eunuch Han raised his head and looked at the steam forging machine, his thoughts already flying to the vast ocean.
However, after thinking for a long time, he could not associate the giant ship with this strangely shaped steam engine.
" If this thing is placed on the ship, I'm afraid it will turn into a huge monster…" Eunuch Han thought.
"Currently, the muskets manufactured by the War Bureau are mainly the lightning muskets developed by Zhao Shizhen. However, compared to western firearms, there are still many problems with this type of musket.”Zhu Youxiao picked up a gun barrel that had just been forged. The current gun-making process was to forge the iron sheet into a shape, curl it, and then beat it with manpower to break it into a gun barrel. Then, he installed a gun handle specially made by the woodworking workshop. The structure was simple, and the reliability was not high.
Especially since this gun was still a muzzle-loading musket. It could not be loaded with gunpowder, nor could it be loaded with standard bullets like in the future to achieve rapid shooting.
Zhu Youxiao's consistent philosophy was to either not do it, or to make the best product under the existing conditions. Relying on his identity as a transmigrator, he could achieve the overtaking of Ming Technology.
In front of the craftsmen, he took out the blueprint of the Dreiser M1841 rifle.
" Everyone, please take a look. This is the standard rifle that This King has newly designed. First of all, the ammunition used in this gun is sealed. The specific production method is as follows..."
In just a month, the craftsmen of the War Bureau had developed a deep admiration for this knowledgeable young prince. In their eyes, this fourteen-year-old young prince was like a ghost, and every invention of his far exceeded their imagination!
"Everyone, from today onwards, this king will restore a law of the Qin Dynasty: The name of the object is used to test its success." He clapped his hands and Song Yingsheng walked in with a square iron plate filled with iron lumps the size of apricot pits.
"This king has already engraved the names of the craftsmen above the rank of master craftsman on the iron seal. In the future, everyone who produces finished parts will have to rely on the name printed on the parts to receive their wages. If they are perfunctory and do not match the size, their wages for the day will be deducted.”
Hearing this rule, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Although the young prince was young, he was really ruthless when he did things!
"Song Yingsheng, I appoint you, Master Cao, and Master Chen to set up a quality inspection department to be in charge of this matter. All firearms must pass your inspection and be marked with your name before they can be used. If there is a substandard component installed on the gun and causes an accident, all three of you will be punished!”
