Chapter 269

At the end of both sides of the yard of the military workshop are mountains. Usually, the test fire is aimed at the mountains.

Chen Qi then let the craftsman open the canvas on the gun.

Xiao Ming saw that, as Chen Qi said, not only the length of these guns had been reduced, but also the caliber of their muzzle had been reduced.

Xiao Ming once talked with Chen Qi about the theory of artillery design. It seems that this is the result of his learning for application.

Therefore, what we are satisfied with this time is not the artillery, but the fact that the military workshop has been able to independently develop other types of artillery. This is the real progress of the military workshop.

After circling around the export-oriented guns, Xiao Ming nodded again. Generally speaking, without considering the shells, there are only two factors that determine the range and power of the guns, one is the length of the gun barrel, the other is the caliber.

For caliber, naturally, the larger the caliber, the thicker the barrel and the greater the power.

Compared with the caliber, the longer the barrel length is, the more favorable the action time of high pressure gas in the bore to the projectile is.

The longer the time, the greater the initial velocity of the shell, the longer the range.

Using this principle, different types of artillery can be designed. Now Qingzhou has the artillery production capacity, the next step is to improve the artillery system, so that Qingzhou's warships have naval guns, field forces have field guns, and city guards have city guns.

After skillfully loading, with a roar after the ignition, the shell flew straight to the distance. After 700 meters, the shell began to fall and roll on the ground, and finally the shell was blocked by the mountain.

"It has a direct range of 700 meters. Well, that's OK. In that case, I'll let the imperial army carry the gun away." Xiao Ming said that it was not only the king of Wei who was urging.

Xiao Wenxuan has been urging the artillery.

In order to make Xiao Ming deliver the goods as soon as possible, the ships of the Imperial Army have arrived in Qingzhou. After the envoy of the king of Wei left yesterday, the general of the imperial army who was responsible for transporting artillery arrived.

The general claimed to be the captain of the new firearm battalion, specializing in artillery matters.

Hearing the name of firearm camp, Xiao Ming was a little speechless at that time. He was afraid that the Cangzhou war would gradually lead the state of Chongqing into the firearm era.

Xiao Wenxuan specially set up a firearm camp, you can imagine his mind.

After checking the export-oriented guns, Xiao Ming follows Chen Qi into the military workshop.

In the circular Valley, there are 12 workshops in the military workshop from south to north. The craftsmen in each workshop are responsible for different processes.

Iron and steel refining, clay mold, iron mold casting, pouring, cleaning, grinding and so on.

The area of these factories is not small. From south to north, a factory is 100 meters long and 10 meters wide.

"Yesterday, the envoys of the king of Wei sent three million taels of silver to the king. Chen Qi, your military workshop has become the biggest money maker in Qingzhou." Xiao Ming and Chen Qi are chatting and inspecting the military workshop.

Chen Qi grinned, "Your Highness, since our military workshop is making so much money, is it necessary to expand a few more factories, and the salary will also be increased for the craftsmen."

"Ha ha ha, you have just taken office and become the supervisor of the military workshop. Are you going to start protecting your weaknesses?" Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Chen Qi said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, I didn't know how to be an official before, but now when I am a workshop supervisor, I understand that it's not easy to be an official. There are tens of thousands of craftsmen in the military workshop, and every craftsman has to live. Only when I have enough money can I work wholeheartedly, right? And many of the craftsmen are still slaves. Your highness, as you said before, if they do well, they will be relieved of their slavery and give them a household registration in Qingzhou. Now that a year has passed, these craftsmen can wait for your highness.

"Well, as a workshop supervisor, it's right to seek some benefits for his craftsmen. You're right. The cakes painted by Wang can't be hung like this all the time, otherwise the slaves in Qingzhou will say that Wang speaks without faith. Well, you give me a list of outstanding craftsmen. Today, I'll do something special when Wang comes." Xiao Ming said.

Chen Qi was overjoyed and said, "OK, your highness, just a moment. I'll get the list right now."

Smell speech, Xiao Ming wry smile for a while, originally this Chen Qi has premeditated.

However, this is exactly what Xiao Ming plans to do recently. It's almost the end of the new year, so he has to make a summary of this year's government affairs, the reward of the reward and the reprimand of the reprimand.

After waiting for a while, Chen Qi brought a roster. The

register is divided into two parts, one is the slave craftsman, the other is the craftsman who owns the household register in Qingzhou.

There are thirty names on each roll.

What's more, it's very clear about why 60 people in these two volumes can get this kind of reward.

For example, the team led by a craftsman named song Changping produced the largest number of guns per month, reaching six.

In the military workshop, craftsmen are strictly organized. Every 100 people are divided into teams. Each team has a leader. In the military workshop, there are 100 such teams.

Other teams can only cast about three guns a month.

The reason for the huge difference is that song Changping often called a team to study the technological process of the gun, and developed a casting method called continuous casting method, which changed the traditional method of casting only one gun at a time.This continuous casting method can simultaneously pour molten steel into six gun molds through an interconnected steel tank, saving a lot of time for repeated molten steel melting and casting, and the quality of the same batch of guns is basically the same.

Seeing song Changping's contribution, Xiao Ming smiles.

I was preparing to promote this continuous casting method, but I didn't expect that the craftsmen of the military workshop had found it in advance.

It can be seen that the wisdom of the broad masses of the people is infinite, and what they lack is only a guide.

And his task is to guide the people to tap their own potential, so that they can master the skills more firmly.

"This song Changping is very clever. He is very skillful. He can almost surpass me." Chen Qi said with a smile, "and song Changping is still a slave. It is said that his parents are in the shipyard. If his highness can reunite their family at the end of the new year, he will be very happy."

Xiao Ming nodded slowly. Now what he lacks most is outstanding talents. Only in production practice can he pick out the real capable people.

After all, Chen Qi's energy is limited, and the task of the military workshop will become more and more important. This artillery is enough for Chen Qi to toss about. With this song Changping, he can cultivate talents to prepare ahead of time for the production of muskets.

"The casting of the artillery in the general workshop has doubled. It's commendable. Now call on the craftsmen." Xiao Ming said.

Chen Qi nodded, then ordered all the craftsmen to gather in the yard.

With the roster, Xiao Ming went to the yard and looked at the craftsmen. He was very down-to-earth.
