Chapter 627

The sound of the steam engine whistle sounded from time to time in the military workshop. Chen Qi came far away, but his voice was suppressed by the sound of the long whistle.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming stops to look at Chen Qi. When he comes near and asks, he can understand what he's talking about.

"Really?" Xiao Ming asked again.

Since the adoption of converter steelmaking technology, he has great confidence in the quality of Qingzhou steel. Now the advanced production technology is enough to make Qingzhou steel reach the level of the 19th century.

And this level is enough for him to promote the industrial revolution of Fengguo, because the quality of steel has met the manufacturing needs of most machinery.

Among them, the standard to distinguish the quality of steel is to make artillery with current steel. If it can withstand the strength requirements of artillery, it is not a problem to transport it to other places.

"Your Highness, half a year ago, the military workshop used the steel produced by the steel workshop to cast a gun. In the past half a year, we have been using this gun to shoot. This gun does not belong to bronze gun in all aspects." Chen Qi states.

Xiao Ming nodded, which shows that the quality of the new steel is up to standard, and the strength standard can be used as gun steel. In this way, he can save copper to make other things. After all, Dayu is now a copper poor country.

"In that case, the output of this field gun should be able to be increased." Xiao Ming asked.

Generally speaking, the number of artillery in the army is still a little small. The total number of field guns is only about 200. These field guns are enough to be used in one war, but they are not enough in the face of two wars. Moreover, Xiao Ming now has a colony like Sanshan Kingdom overseas, which also needs to be equipped with standard weapons.

Chen Qi said with a smile: "Your Highness, what I want to say is this. Now it's not a problem to use iron and steel to cast field cannons. In this way, workshops don't have to worry about copper. It's just that I don't know how many field cannons are needed in the army."

"It should be enough for the time being to produce another 300 guns and increase the number of field guns in the army to 500." Xiao Ming pondered and said.

For him, the field artillery was mainly aimed at the barbarians. After all, compared with the previous heavy artillery, these artillery were very convenient to transport on the grassland. He never forgot this barbarian nation that caused suffering to the state of Dayu. In order to realize the rejuvenation of Dayu, the hidden danger of the North must be solved.

"Yes, your highness. Next, I will arrange the craftsmen to continue the production." Chen Qi said.

The three said something about the production of firearms. According to song Changping, he and Lin Wentao are trying to build a production line with steam engine as the core.

This flow production line will integrate gun barrel manufacturing, standardized production of spare parts to final assembly. The first two items are realized by steam engine driving lathe. Now some lathes in lathe workshop have been transferred to military workshop, including drilling machine, milling machine and grinder.

"It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to do. For this reason, you need to set up a special craftsman to inspect the size of spare parts." Xiao Ming hesitated and said.

At the time of industrialization in the west, standardized and refined production was applied to various factories, among which the inspector with tool box was born.

Now Lin Wentao and song Changping are ready to let steam power realize assembly line production, which is inevitable.

"Lin Wentao also said this. He has sent a batch of measuring tools to the military workshop." Song Changping said.

Xiao Ming looks at Chen Qi, who also nods. Then he sends someone to the workshop to take out the toolbox.

After a while, a craftsman came to the three. He opened the toolbox and spread it on the ground. The measuring tools of length and length appeared in front of Xiao Ming.

"Your Highness, this is from Lin Wentao." Song Changping took out a caliper from which the values on it were the millimeter, centimeter and other units that Xiao Ming had drawn.

After he unified the standard of measurement, this set of measurement units was adopted by the States and counties in China. The same is true of Bowen college, where Lin Wentao learned this.

Looking at the square wooden box, with ruler, compass, protractor and other measuring instruments on the top and bottom of the box, Xiao Ming was relieved to see this.

As more and more students of Bowen college participated in the construction of Fengguo, they began to take the initiative to apply their knowledge to various places.

"Not bad."

Xiao Ming smiles. For him, the industrialization of Fengguo is always the foundation of his foothold. If Fengguo can reach the level of British industrialization, he will not care about the other vassals of Dayu.

Only for four years, the industry remained in the small circle of Qingzhou and did not extend to other states and counties of the feudal state.

It's not that Xiao Ming didn't care about the industrialization of the feudal state, but four years of continuous wars. He spent most of his fiscal revenue in the war. It's lucky that his feudal state didn't have an economic collapse these years.

Therefore, military related workshops are very prosperous now, but they can not be extended to other industrial products.

The most important point is that businessmen make profits in the war. They are more interested in putting money into the war to earn fast money. Although Xiao Ming realizes this, he has no way. After all, war needs money.It is because of this that he realized that it was extremely difficult to industrialize without a stable domestic environment, and he was eager to get a stable surrounding environment.

Wang Xuan's intelligence is very straightforward. The king of Chu has already contacted with the franceans. If the king of Chu finally cooperates with the franceans, it will be a threat to him, because the franceans will not only bring advanced weapons to the king of Chu, but also bring some different ideas.

And thought is the most dangerous thing.

With all kinds of measuring tools and two people talking about the production line, Xiao Ming will return to the palace. Now it's a good thing for the military workshop to have this advanced industrial production method. According to Xiao Ming's experience, any technology is first used for military convenience, and then it will be slowly transferred to civilian use.

If the production system of the military workshop is mature, it will also lead to the change of private industry.

When he returned to the palace, Xiao Ming began to prepare for his accession to the throne. Although he knew that this accession was just for his own name, it could not change the decision of King Yan, King Zhao and King Liang to defeat Qi, Pang Yukun's performance showed that it would have a great impact on the feudalism.

Because the vassal soldiers will no longer fight for a vassal, but for an emperor. The encouragement of this belief will make his army more powerful than before.
