Chapter 1318: Stair Jumping Artisan Guard (External Chapter 4)

The large air conditioner was blowing loudly, and everyone was grilling the meat themselves, without the help of the palace maids.

Zhu Wentian only has him, Li Chang, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang's five sons here, plus Queen Ma.

Zhu Wentian has a pair of chopsticks in each hand, one pair for eating by himself and one pair for serving others. He is very skilled. He practices flying sticks, but his fingers are not flexible enough.

Queen Ma doesn’t need to bake Hanhan. She has her son here, so Hanhan will only be roasted by the chief and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Queen Ma took a sip of beer: "Now there is no need to use the ice reserves for winter, and the people in the north have less work to do. What have Hanhan been busy with recently?"

"Returning to the Queen, There are so many messy things, it’s hard to distinguish the priorities.

I still need to reserve ice. Ice-making equipment will not be available in all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

It is relatively convenient to source local materials in the region. At present, ocean-going ships are given priority in the production of ice machines.

Using solar energy to boil water and then using condensation equipment to obtain distilled water. Sailors have a certain set of equipment. < /p>

There is a piece of naval warfare auxiliary equipment being promoted in the laboratory recently. We have made a small model of a submarine, which is only powered by electricity. We will go and take a look after dinner later."

Zhu Wentian emphasized the equipment. Priority, currently the largest ice factory can only supply ice to the people of Yingtianfu, who generally eat ice, popsicles, ice cream, and shaved ice.

The equipment on the ships of the Ming Dynasty is not as big as that of the factory. Just supply one ship.

You can make money selling ice when you go out, but in Luzon, they never know what ice looks like.

Needless to say, there are South America, Pacific Island countries, and Africa.

The crew relies on ice-making equipment. The steam engine cannot use seawater and takes fresh water with it. Even if the steam engine has equipment for recycling distilled water, it will still consume fresh water and cannot be 100% recycled.

How can we live without fresh water in the vast sea?

Given a set of equipment, sailors will set up a solar stove when the weather is good, burn seawater and condense it into fresh water.

As long as any of the fresh water containers on the ship is not full, the seafarers will be anxious and must keep the water full at all times to feel at ease.

After saying this, which he had already said several times, he mentioned a new weapon, or weapon platform, a submarine.

Air compressors are available, diesel engines and gasoline engines are available, sealing technology is also good, and batteries have increased the amount of energy stored per unit.

Then it’s time to launch the submarines and torpedoes, lay the decks of the large ships, and then put the planes on them.

"The submarine is...eat first." Queen Ma knew that if she wanted to watch it now, she would delay her meal again.

Everyone inadvertently speeded up their meal, and it took an hour to finish.

The group of people came to the confidential experimental area of ​​​​the village. The guards here were strict, and people from the Prince's Palace were in charge. Others were not allowed to approach, including the guards of the palace.

A new swimming pool has been built here.The reason why a large fish tank is not used is because the small model is more than three meters long. The only way to build it is to build an aquarium. Xiaqiu Village does not have that technology.

The swimming pool can only be viewed from above, unless wearing equipment to enter the water.

The three-meter submarine has a control line, wired control, forward, backward, steering, diving, and ascending, and uses electric power.

Linger operation, explaining while operating: "The submarine's dive is completed by using its own gravity and filling the empty cabin with water, that is, it can also levitate.

Want to get on When diving, release the air from the compressed air bottle and push out the water in the cabin, so the water inlet and outlet of the cabin are most suitable at the bottom.

In a submarine, you want to see. The situation outside, raise the periscope, look, this periscope is raised, but this is a model, it does not have a periscope function. "

Ling'er first makes the submarine move on the surface and underwater, and it can rise and fall.

Then a row of small wooden boats were placed in front, and Ling'er continued: "Submarines can be used for reconnaissance, and the enemy cannot detect the submarines.

At the same time, they can also carry a small number of combat or survey boats. The personnel come ashore quietly. If the water quality is good, it is easiest to get out of the submarine directly under the water and swim through it. There is no need to build a separate sealed chamber for the torpedo. A large bomb that can sail in the water and is launched by ships, submarines and airplanes.

The launch distance depends on the power of the torpedo explosion. If there are too many explosives, the closer the torpedo is, the smaller the torpedo will be. Kill the submarine, the underwater shock wave is very powerful.

We are currently studying electric propellers and gyroscopes. Our tourbillon watch has this technology.

If the enemy has a bigger ship in the future, he will consider using steam-driven torpedoes, but there is no need for it now..."

As he spoke, Ling'er adjusted the direction of the submarine by controlling the controller on his hand. When it was about to stop, the torpedo launch cabin next to it opened, and whoosh~~ a torpedo jumped out.

The torpedo ran in a straight line, with a small wooden boat in front of it. The torpedo hit the wooden boat directly and knocked the wooden boat sideways. There was no explosion. There was no explosive device inside, it was just a toy.

Swish, swish, and swish, three more missiles were fired, and one of them missed the small wooden boat.

"The model only carries four torpedoes. Many can be placed in a real submarine. The torpedo launch tube is only for launching torpedoes. It is manually loaded and launched.

Not placed on the submarine In the boat, even if it is placed on the ship, this is no problem. The enemy's ship cannot escape anyway.

The enemy's small boats cannot fight at sea. If we fight offshore, we will dispatch small steam engines.

When they know how to dodge electric torpedoes, we will use steam torpedoes, which are fast and can dodge even our navy's ships. No.

The torpedoes must be equipped before the submarine. From now on, the officers and soldiers of our Daming Navy must be skilled in torpedo launching.

Don't be afraid of wasting money. Only when you are right can you be safe. Once you are safe, you can make money. "

Ling'er said, handing the remote control device to Zhu Yuanzhang and letting him try it.

As a result, before she could explain, Zhu Yuanzhang started operating it. A few seconds later The small wooden boat that had just escaped the torpedo was knocked apart by the submarine, and then the submarine crashed into the edge of the swimming pool and cut off the power.

"Ling'er, you are right, it is indeed necessary. Practice more! Um! Hey hey hey..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Ling'er awkwardly and said that Ling'er was right.

"Is there anything else? "Zhu Xiongying, who was waiting to play next to him, asked with a complicated look on his face.

"Fix it now, it will be fine soon. "Zhu Yuanzhang said, it was not repaired by him anyway.

Half an hour later, Zhu Xiongying finally got the repaired submarine with spare parts. He took it apart to see which part was damaged and replaced the parts. Yes.

“Children are really clever! "Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, sitting under the umbrella next to the swimming pool, drinking beer and eating fennel beans.

"Yes, you don't listen to the explanation, aren't you, sister...hey? Asleep? "

Zhu Xiongying wanted to get his sister to talk about grandpa with him. When he turned around, he found the little girl lying on the mat and sleeping soundly. Someone was adjusting the angle of the fan next to him.

Zhu Xiongying was playing He is addicted. He used to have cars and tanks with wired remote control, but now he has a submarine.

Queen Ma said with a leisurely look: "We haven't waited for the possible enemy to come up with a way to restrain our steam engine ship. , we already have weapons designs for their warships.

Others use broadswords and spears, wondering how bows and arrows can shoot farther and crossbows become more powerful.

We will upgrade to better assault rifles and artillery cannons. Even if the water rifle cannot fire continuous rounds, it will be good, accurate, and have a long effective range.

If we have such weapons, we can still lose, which only means that a lot of heads will be lost.

Speaking of which, Ming’s weapons and other people’s weapons seem... abnormal? "

When Empress Ma talked about weapons, she felt that Ming Dynasty's weapons seemed to be missing something.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his sister: "More than weapons? Look at the steam engine and the electric light. Which one is normal?

To put it bluntly, just like the steps, everyone should go up one step at a time, skipping dozens or hundreds of steps at a time.

Hanhan, tell me, if you walk step by step, what should the weapon look like? "

Zhu Yuanzhang discovered the key point. The Ming Dynasty was developing by leaps and bounds, both in terms of technology and economy.

Zhu Wentian gave a thumbs up: "Your Majesty, the Queen, has a sharp vision and a clear understanding of every detail. One leaf falls and one knows the end of the year.

He first praised it, and then talked about weapons: "With the development of muskets, after the fire blunderbuss was produced, it was an improved fire blunderbuss, and then three-eyed fire blunderbuss came out."

Then a matchlock gun was built, loaded in the front, with a detonation hole at the back, and the slow-burning matchlock was lit to touch the powder and twisted to fire..

With the matchlock, there was the flintlock gun, and the flintlock gun was upgraded to a rear-loading gun with a metal bullet shell.

Burst shooters began to appear, according to their functions, submachine guns, assault rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns.

In fact, if we want more weapons now, we can install machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns. The bullets can explode or not.

Where’s the cannon! I don’t want to build one, because any kind of gun is very big, heavy, and very inconvenient to carry, even if it’s a self-propelled gun.

Let’s try to make a few kinds later, as long as we know there is such a thing.

Cannons, howitzers, mortars, and rocket launchers.

Create a variety of each type, build a few doors of each type, leave it there until you know there is such a thing, and mass-produce it immediately when needed.

Uh... let's build thousands of small direct-firing cannons in conjunction with small mortars! No protective gear, reduce weight, install wheels, and tow it.

Direct-aisled guns are easier to operate, unlike mortars that have to calculate their trajectory. Okay, that’s it. ”

As Zhu Wentian talked, he decided to mount a small cannon that is normally equipped with the army. This kind of gun is easy to use and easy to operate.

But the smallest direct-aimed cannon is better than a small mortar. The artillery is heavy, better for siege, defense, and loading on ships

"More difficult to carry than a catapult?" "Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to compare.

"If it is as difficult to carry as a catapult, our cannon is very powerful.

Dozens or hundreds of people plus tools transport a cannon. Once it is transported to the combat position, it can kill not a single blade of grass within fifteen miles.

The enemy couldn't even see where we were. We didn't know we were being beaten until the shells fell and a large area was killed. ”

Zhu Wentian thought for a while and gave a rough figure. As long as he is not afraid of wasting time and is willing to invest a lot of transportation power, artillery can be very powerful.

The Ming Dynasty built roads well. That way transportation will be simple, go outside and hit others, other people's roads...

"Made! Zhu Yuanzhang ordered: "Make it first so that the craftsmen can get familiar with it. Let's see how it is made." Hanhan, you are good at dancing on this step. Keep dancing back. "

"Then, Your Majesty, should I build all the steps before jumping? Bei Yuan ran away with the gunpowder technology. They will probably study hard to see if they can follow the steps! ”

Zhu Wentian does everything he can, even if he makes the craftsmen miserable and cuts off external communication, different types of internal workers are not allowed to talk to each other about their respective work matters.

Weapons and ammunition production , will divide the work, some people are responsible for part of the content.

The ones who make the barrel, the gun, the gun frame, the bullet, the magazine, the gunpowder, etc., are the ones who can understand everything. They are "protected" when they go out.

For example, Wang Yiqian wandered around casually when he was following the team. Now wherever he goes, there are dozens of people around him.

It's not that he doesn't trust him. He is a necessary procedure, and at the same time, he was more worried that he would be robbed by others.

“I’m tired and stupid, it’s time to prepare a big banquet at the beginning of autumn. What preparations are needed.

Autumn begins on the third day of July. The holiday starts on the first day of July and ends on the seventh day. On the fifth day of the lunar month, we have to wait until the Ghost Festival, which is July 15th.

List the silage list and autumn harvest crops in each place, and ask each place to provide data. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to Hanhan and began to arrange work for the chief.

To have a big feast, many ingredients must be prepared in advance, such as dried abalone, dried bear paws, dried shark fins, dried sea cucumbers...

Now consider what to cook, prepare the dishes, and arrange the manpower .

Li Chang glanced at Hanhan: "Your Majesty, how big a banquet do you want? According to the cooking techniques and types of dishes we have now, we can make dozens or hundreds of dishes."

“Aren’t the dozens of dishes from our canteen?” Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the dozens of dishes were too few.

The head of the restaurant shook his head: "The food in the cafeteria is home-cooked, and occasionally we make a few special dishes.

Home-cooked dishes such as cabbage, vinegar-braised cabbage and soy sauce cabbage are all about whether to add vinegar and Do not add dark soy sauce, some people don’t like it.

The minced meat and eggplant are divided into stir-fried and steamed. The fried ones are thicker and the steamed ones are lighter.

The big meatballs are boiled with water. The relationship between the lion's head and Sixi meatballs is that they are roughly chopped and finely chopped.

Stir-fried fat intestines and fried fat intestines are commonplace, but the nine-turn large intestine is not. p>The banquet is very demanding. Only the center of the cabbage is eaten, and the bean sprouts are only eaten in the middle. The more delicate it is, the more hands are needed."

"Chongba, there is no need for dozens of dishes like this at the beginning of autumn! Just make the dishes a little better, what do you think?"

Empress Ma understood that Xiaqiu Village can prepare a banquet with only a few hundred dishes, and all of them are exquisite.

"My sister is right, why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? It's just a den of thieves. Why send out the elites of the Prince's Palace and the four palaces to overwhelm the mountains and seas?"

Zhu Yuanzhang understood. , this thing is like fighting, it depends on whether it is worth it or not.

When the prince's palace went to fight with the palace guards of his four younger brothers, they were definitely not fighting the enemies outside, but the rebel generals of the Ming Dynasty who had similar weapons.

Go up there and you will be covered by firepower. You will bombard them regardless of the cost. Your individual soldier quality will be stronger. You will need so much ammunition for training that you will cry during training.

The enemy can survive if he surrenders, but if the palace guards surrender and their whole family is killed, there is no second outcome in countering the rebellion.

So even though he really wanted to see a feast with hundreds of dishes, he thought it was not the right time.

"Your Majesty, the big banquet can last for seven days and seven nights, and the small banquet can last for one day and one night. How about forty-nine dishes? One after another, not the kind in the cafeteria, the kind that is self-service, you can eat whatever you want. "There are a lot of dishes, but we can't eat them all."

The director suggested that the small dishes are not included in the seventy-seven forty-nine dishes.

It is impossible to make pickles that are a mixture of dozens of vegetables, and then pick out the pickles individually. One dish of cowpeas and spicy white vegetables are considered one dish.Dish after dish, peas after dish...

Even if you set a table and add a bowl of noodles, that is, you eat a bowl of noodles. According to Northeastern dialect, there is not even a hard dish!

"Sure! Yichang will look at the arrangements!" Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied.

"Grandpa Li Chang, do you have any snowy bean paste?" Zhu Xiongying, who was playing submarine there, suddenly turned around and asked.

"Yes, I have everything you like." The manager nodded vigorously.

"As long as it is made by our village, I love to eat it! Oops! I almost hit the wall like my father, no, let the submarine hit the side. Master, my grandson didn't say that you are not a sage. No one can do anything wrong!"

When Zhu Xiongying turned around, he found that the submarine was about to hit the wall of the swimming pool, and he quickly adjusted it.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

The industrial zone received a call and began to organize manpower. When people from Xiaqiu Village came with a complete set of drawings, they immediately got busy.

Drilling gun barrels, making shells, and other auxiliary facilities for the gun mount.

If people who only have experience in making small mortars are asked to suddenly make large artillery, they will not be able to come up with results in three to five years.

Fortunately, Zhu Wentian already has detailed drawings and formulas, so just follow them.

The drawings include drawings of the tools for making the barrel, and the lathe is ready.

Smoothbore and rifled cannons, cannons, howitzers, and mortars. Barrels and shells are made according to size and combat needs.

Some craftsmen feel very helpless after reading the drawings.

Because they also thought of these, they were designing and experimenting. As a result, the drawings thrown over by Xiaqiu Village covered all their ideas, and they were better and more complete.

The only consolation is that they can get money. They only need to turn their ideas and designs into reports and submit them. If new weapons use their ideas, they will be rewarded.

In fact, Zhu Wentian does not need them, but not giving them will not work, as it will discourage the craftsmen.

Like hydraulic equipment, Zhu Wentian casually threw out a set of technologies. The craftsmen had already submitted reports before, imagining using hydraulics to solve the problem of mechanical levers.

The craftsman worked very hard and actually came up with the idea of ​​using a hydraulic lever instead of a mechanical lever. The craftsman was right, but he had never been to the future.

If the craftsmen are not rewarded, can they still work hard?

When they lose their enthusiasm, the craftsmen start to grind. The more powerful the craftsman is, the better he is at grinding. You can watch him work hard, but in the end he can’t get any work done.

So Wang Yiqian spoke to a group of craftsmen using a loudspeaker: "It is precisely because of the ideas and designs submitted by you that Xiaqiu Village came up with new technologies after sorting and synthesizing them.

Your wisdom is like stars, shining in the dark night sky. .

Brighter than the moon, more eternal than the sun.

There are still half a month left, Your Majesty wants to see the results, please treat this as a war. "

"The hearts of the people are surging, and the sun and the moon can change it! Where heavy industry is located, things are going crazy! ”

The craftsmen screamed and shouted as if they had been given morphine, feeling that it would be no problem for them to rub nuclear bombs with their hands now.

Their wages are too high and the benefits are too good. , everything is arranged for the family.

The craftsmen in the industrial area are no longer pursuing material enjoyment, they want spiritual enjoyment.

“It was completed so quickly. ? Will these guns explode? Too big. "

Zhu Yuanzhang came early in the morning. Today is the beginning of autumn. He invited a lot of people who had previously surrendered to come over for dinner.

By the way, let them see the current weapons of the Ming Dynasty and tell them Don't be afraid of being beaten by other enemies. We are powerful.

We are definitely not threatening them, telling them not to rebel again, otherwise...

A lot of others haven't come yet! The artillery was placed there, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very worried about something going wrong.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, they have all been tested, but the shells are not loaded with explosives, but the weight ratio is the same. "

The village chief promised, Hanhan went to verify it, and the craftsmen are willing to guarantee the lives of their whole family.

"It's so fast! "Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, this speed scares everyone to death!

"Because everyone has dreams and beliefs. Some craftsmen did not even sleep, and continued to work there for three days and three nights. Later, they had no choice but to give them soup and medicine before they fell asleep.

In fact, a new drug has been developed in the village, which can allow people to stay awake for seventy-two hours without rest, and keep their minds clear and their behavior normal.

But it is for combatants and will not be used unless absolutely necessary.

The craftsmen are all good. Your Majesty should commend them and give them honor when giving money. In fact, they have no shortage of money. "

As the village leader said, he waved, and the people from Xiaqiu Village behind him came over with a big box.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a look: "There is no one from our village, right? You always contribute silently! ”

“Instead of making silent contributions, how about we just pursue Ming Dynasty.” "The director shook his head. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Could you please use your little hand to exit the reading mode. Thank you
