- The cannon workshop and the steel factory are next to each other.
After watching the cannon, Liu Mingqi naturally wanted to visit the steel factory.
Because of the need for space and the large amount of pollution, the steel factory and cannon workshop have been relocated fifty miles away from the capital.
But there are still no safety issues.
As the saying goes, the blue dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, twenty miles south of them is the base camp of the Jinwu Guard.
Fifteen miles to the west is a camp of Huben Guards.
Basically, if someone can take down the entire steel factory and cannon workshop under the protection of their two parties, Dakang will basically be gone.
?Compared to the cannon workshop, the steel factory is larger in scale.
There were more than 300 blacksmiths working here before, and then more than 2,000 apprentices were sent by the Youth League.
Now with the continuous increase in steel production, the total manpower has exceeded 4,000.
Just by looking at the erected crucible furnaces and the chimneys that constantly emit black smoke twelve hours a day, you can tell how busy this place is.
But the output has not increased much.
In the past, we could produce more than 2,000 jins per day, but now we can only produce 5,000 jins per day.
The reason is that the iron content of iron ore is extremely low.
And it contains a lot of sulfur and phosphorus, as well as a lot of impurities, which increases the difficulty of processing.
The more iron ore is transported for calcination, the more troublesome it becomes to deal with it.
Sometimes Nian Dingzhuo wonders whether he should take back the scrap metal and forge it, which would be much better.
It¡¯s a pity, where can we buy scrap metal in this era?
No matter how rotten the iron products are, ordinary people are reluctant to throw them away and continue to use them.
Therefore, there is no way to recycle scrap iron. We can only start by grinding the ore and forging it step by step.
At the same time, despite the fact that five thousand kilograms of fine steel are produced every day, this output, compared to Dakang in Nuoda, is not even a splash.
?? If nothing else, a fine steel knife requires six pounds of fine steel to make it as a whole.
Although other broadswords usually weigh four to five kilograms, or even three kilograms, on the battlefield, especially when cavalry is fighting, high-speed running results in a huge driving force.
If you only use a knife weighing two or three kilograms to cut other people's weapons, you will most likely break your own weapons.
Therefore, a stainless steel knife weighing six pounds is more suitable for both thickness and weight.
As for making those long guns, it is much simpler, as long as the gun head weighs about one kilogram and uses a stainless steel knife.
but!
There are more than 1.5 million troops in Dakang, and at least 500,000 pikemen are used.
Not to mention those who use broadswords, the number exceeds 700,000.
¡°If all these people¡¯s knives were replaced with fine steel knives, how much fine steel would be needed?
This does not include the cost of other military supplies, such as armor.
Even to make the simplest armor, a person¡¯s weight of five kilograms is always necessary, right?
Not to mention the cannon Liu Mingqi is making now.
An ordinary 14-centimeter-caliber cannon requires tens of thousands of kilograms of fine steel. This is the output of the current steel factory for two full days.
" If you want to be the pinnacle gunboat in Great Britain, with seventy cannons on one side and one hundred and forty cannons on both sides, it will take almost half a year's production.
No, no, no!
Within five years at the latest, the multi-masted sailing ships must be equipped with cannons and used.
Liu Mingqi has thought about all the large bombing targets.
¡°Isn¡¯t the terrain of the Japanese pirates, facing the sea on all sides, used as a target for me and as an artillery training ground?
After training your troops well with the Japanese pirates, you can go south into the Indian Ocean and compete with the Westerners for hegemony.
"Otherwise, if you don't have experience points, you will be trapped in a trap if you fight with others.
And to achieve that level of bombing, don¡¯t you have hundreds or thousands of cannons to scare the Japanese pirates into utter fear?
So we must expand production well.
If one steel factory is not enough, build five or ten!
There is no need to transport iron ore from other places, you can just forge it locally in the iron ore!
¡¡
With this thought, Liu Mingqi ran to see the emperor.
Emperor Jinghe heard Liu Mingqi's statement and nodded slightly: "They have said this a long time ago, but?Meaning: "Thank you for your hard work this time By the way, I didn't behead the people from the small tribe alliance. Will you be disappointed?"
"Naturally, national affairs cannot be discussed based on personal preferences." Liu Mingqi waved his hand, "I don't care, as long as the general well-being can be good!"
Emperor Jinghe smiled brightly, but said nothing more.
Of course he didn¡¯t know that Liu Mingqi was pretending to be generous.
"Could it be that Liu Mingqi said that the people who betrayed him would be cut into pieces, and would the ministers be willing to do so?
You definitely don¡¯t want to!
Because they also need people from small tribal alliances to help them feed horses, raise cattle and sheep, etc.
This is what Dakang needs for its military and people¡¯s livelihood!
"Compared to this, one, no, two mere princes were attacked, and they were not dead yet, so that was nothing.
Just as Liu Mingqi was about to leave, Emperor Jinghe said: "Oh, it's rare for you to come to the palace, go find Xiao Nianyu! A few days ago, you came to the palace to report things, and there were a lot of people there, but she couldn't get through it. Come here, I¡¯m still a little unhappy!¡±
"Okay, I was planning to play with her."
The young man laughed.
Princess Changle Xiao Nianyu has always been Liu Mingqi¡¯s favorite little girl.
From the end of last year to now, the boy has worked hard to cultivate the fertile soil of his wives, but there has been no movement. This makes him anxious and thinking, if it doesn't work, it would be good to treat Xiao Nianyu as his own daughter.
Who wouldn¡¯t like such a sensible and cute little princess?
