    "My little friend, what's the shortcoming?" Ye Tianheng felt that his voice was a little different and his throat was a little bitter.

    They spent a hundred years, but none of the tools they made could cut iron blocks. Now this tool can cut ten iron blocks in one go before breaking a small hole. This is already perfect.  After hearing what Chen Wanrong said, Ye Tianheng was not only surprised, but also very bitter. He really didn't know what was good in Chen Wanrong's eyes?

    What he said was exactly what everyone was thinking. They all stared at Chen Wanrong, hoping for his explanation.

    The reason why the tool can cut ten pieces of iron before breaking a small hole is because the machine's speed is too slow.  The speed of human pedaling cannot be compared with that of motor driving.  The slow rotation speed makes the tool bear much less force and the possibility of damage is greatly reduced.  According to Chen Wanrong's idea, if the speed of the current motor is reached, the tool will cut a big hole at most five pieces of iron.

    Today¡¯s iron blocks are not big, just about the size of a wine glass. As a result, although the knives can be used, their quality is far from meeting the requirements.  Of course, this cannot be said clearly. Chen Wanrong smiled and said: "Everyone, don't worry. I think this knife should be able to do better. It can cut out twenty or thirty pieces before it breaks."

    "Little friend, you are so demanding!" Ye Tianheng let out a long breath.

    Kou Yibing nodded and said: "What Mr. Chen said makes sense. This knife should be better. Think about it, it only cut ten pieces of iron. This is not enough. We should improve it and work harder."

    No one has any objection to this statement, everyone agrees.

    No matter what, the tool can be used, which is a great improvement. Everyone is still happy and goes about their work happily.

    Kou Yibing stopped Ye Tianheng, Liu Huaide and Chen Wanrong and said: "Mr. Chen, we drew a sketch of the machine you mentioned last time and asked you to take a look at it. This sketch was completed a few days ago, but you were busy  I didn't ask for your advice when it came to making artillery. Now that the artillery matter has finally been explained, I can come and study this machine."

    The prototype was built, and it was necessary to test it before confirming whether there were any problems. Chen Wanrong had nothing to do for the time being, so it would be a good idea to look at the sketch and gain some experience. He nodded happily and said: "Okay! Show it to me quickly, I have some  Can¡¯t wait.¡±

    The tool is already usable. What does it mean if we build a machine again?  It means that the era of machining has arrived!  Chinese history and the history of Chinese science and technology will be rewritten, which in itself is exciting enough.  More importantly, once the age of machining arrives, the chemical equipment Chen Wanrong needs will be one step closer to being built, and it will be even more promising for chemical industry to take root in the Tang Dynasty.

    "Please!" Kou Yibing walked in the lead, took Chen Wanrong and others to his room, and asked Chen Wanrong and others to sit down at the table.  He came to a large wooden cabinet, took out the key, unlocked it, took out a sketch, put it on the table, and unfolded it: "Mr. Chen, take a look and see if there is any problem."

    Chen Wanrong didn¡¯t say much and started to watch carefully.  He didn't look at it, but when he looked at it, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "You want to use water power?"

    This sketch is better than Chen Wanrong imagined. If it is really made, the appearance of this machine will be beautiful, and more importantly, the power system will be improved.  Chen Wanrong originally wanted to do it by driving a donkey. If he used it in small quantities, it would be no problem to find a few strong men to step on it.  However, if you want to process a lot, this is definitely not possible, so driving the donkey is a good idea.

    Chen Wanrong also thought about using water power, but water power is more troublesome than driving donkeys, because it requires special equipment and must be placed near the water.

    As for the steam engine, Chen Wanrong can't even think about it now. Without machining, it would be too difficult to build a steam engine.  According to Chen Wanrong, after they have solved the machining problem, they can try the steam engine again, maybe they can succeed.

    Ye Tianheng's interest suddenly came up: "Little friend, you don't know this. The reason why we use water power is that we want to do something big. We have discussed that this machine can be built, but it requires some  Time. This machine is of great use. Since we want to build it, we will build more and use one for special purposes. Therefore, we decided to use water power to build a ditch at a suitable location on the bank of the Wei River.  Big workshop.¡±

    Chen Wanrong was greatly impressed by the ambition: "Of course this is good, I agree with it! However, I have to remind you that this shaft is not easy to make. Gear processing is also very difficult."

    Kou Yibing was full of confidence. He patted Chen Wanrong on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. We have discussed this matter and we have a way to solve it. Now, our machine is not very good, and it is a bit slow to build the first one. Wait for us  After building a machine, it becomes a big question: how many machines are needed???Princess Taiping is a hundred steps ahead.  They were escorted by a group of dragon warriors.

    Duan Hui strode over and announced the order loudly: "The Emperor has a decree, and all the good officers from the Ordnance Supervisory Committee are here to see you!"

    Chen Wanrong and the others responded and followed Duan Hui to see Ruizong.  Ye Tianheng and Kou Yibing were about to get out of the car, but Wang Maozhong stopped them. It must be Ruizong's purpose.

    When he got closer, Chen Wanrong saw clearly that today's Ruizhong was very different from before. With a smile on his face, he waved to Chen Wanrong: "Wanrong, come here."

    Chen Wanrong responded and strode over to greet the emperor: "I see you, Your Majesty!"

    "No need, no need!" Ruizong was very kind and easy-going, and said with a smile: "Let Master Ye and Master Kou take a seat!"

    Gao Lishi and a chamberlain hurriedly came over to help Ye Tianheng and Kou Yibing take their seats.  The two wanted to express their gratitude, but Ruizhong stopped them: "You are old and these days are very hard, so just relax."

    Ruizhong not only sent a dragon chariot to greet him, but also treated him with such courtesy, which made Ye and Kou burst into tears of gratitude and choked with emotion.

    Ruizhong asked: "Chen Qing, are you ready?"

    Chen Wanrong nodded and replied: "Go back to the Emperor. We are ready. We are just waiting for the Emperor's decree."

    "Okay! Let me have a look first." Ruizhong stared at the artillery with great interest.

    Wang Maozhong waved his hand, and Long Wujun lifted up the oilcloth, revealing the artillery.  Looking at the shining bronze cannon, Ruizhong was very happy and said with a smile: "Chen Qing, this cannon is really different. Although there are many sharp weapons in the Tang Dynasty, the Mo Dao, the Heng Dao, and the trebuchet are all the same.  It has such a shape.¡±

    Artillery is a hot weapon. It cannot be compared with cold weapons. This comparison is wrong.

    Ruizhong had already seen it once, but it was not a complete artillery piece. Now that he saw the real artillery piece, he was still a little surprised. He quickly walked over and prepared to take a closer look.  "

    Princess Taiping had never seen it before, so she was very curious. She came to Chen Wanrong and asked softly: "Wanrong, this artillery looks good, but how about its power? If you want to attack Shibao City, it's not about its power.  As long as it's big enough, the important thing is to see if it can hit far enough."

    One sentence hits the mark. When it comes to siege weapons, the Tang Dynasty still had some.  Although the trebuchets are rarely used and have a lot of inventory, the range is far from enough and they are of no use in front of the Stone Castle.

    "Princess, I don't know exactly how far it can hit. I won't know until I try it. However, please don't worry, Princess, there will be no problem in hitting Stone Castle." Chen Wanrong was full of confidence.

    Princess Taiping encouraged: "That's good!"

    After looking at it carefully, Ruizong was satisfied, clapped his hands and said, "Let's get started."

    What Chen Wanrong is most worried about is not the power and range of the artillery, but whether it will explode.  The Tang Dynasty did not have seamless steel pipe technology, which increased the possibility of the artillery blasting.  Furthermore, the gunpowder used was a very powerful military formula, which made it more likely to explode, and Chen Wanrong couldn't help but become nervous.  (To be continued.
