Chapter 834： lathe thinking

  Chapter 834 Thoughts on lathes

  On July 24, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao rushed from Yidao to the Lihe Reservoir Dam on Lidao, and witnessed the windmill model built by Kong Ming, Liu Qianhui and researchers from the Institute of Power.

  After rewards were given by the cheating system and the construction drawings of the windmill mill were generated, Qu Mao knew that Kong Ming and others had fully mastered the technology of the windmill mill, and the next step was how to apply wind power to industrial production.

  Because the construction blueprint of the windmill mill has been generated, Qu Mao asked Su Qiaoer to build a large number of windmill mills on the holy land of Yicheng territory to improve the efficiency of food production in the holy land of Yicheng territory. Rice is also food, but it is not directly edible food.

  After arranging these things, Kong Ming asked Qu Mao to have dinner at his home.

Qu Mao readily agreed and invited Liu Qianhui to go with him. As for the 10 fifth-rank palace guards who accompanied Qu Mao to the outlying island, Qu Mao asked them to stay on the dam to maintain the order of the residents visiting the windmill mill. .

  Although there is a cheating system to digitalize the windmill made by Kong Ming and others, the fan blades and transmission bearings are still precision instruments in this era, and if they are damaged by residents, the loss outweighs the gain.

While eating lunch at Kong Ming’s house, Kong Ming asked: “My lord, I have heard that all the military factories in Jidao, all the military factories in Dry Island, all the military factories in Union Island, and all the military factories on every island in the Holy Land, even on the main mainland. The military factories originally belonging to their respective countries are fully operating their production capacity to produce arrows for shipborne ballistas.

   Is this the navy going to war again? Couldn't Sylvia Oshen stop for a few days? A few days ago, she was the one who harassed the coast of the Anti-Yizhen Alliance and used up all the arrows of the ship's ballista..."

   Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "Damn! Kong Ming, it seems that you have been completely obsessed with building the model of the windmill recently. This matter was settled four or five days ago. Didn't Xinping notify you?

  Forget it, don’t worry about it, it’s not a particularly big war, it’s at most a naval training.

Sylvia Ocean and Fur Swamp jointly suggested to me: The Navy has reorganized its fleet and needs to carry out military exercises in which all fleets cooperate to fight. This is related to my launch of the Main Continental War at the end of the year. They chose to harass The coastline of Jilihou Kingdom to the west of Jierhou Kingdom.

  I agreed with their plan to harass and harass, but before I set off, I found that there were only 100,000 ship-borne ballista arrows left in the inventory of the entire Yicheng territory.

  In the navy’s harassment operations, the best option to ensure that our navy’s own losses are minimized is to use ship-borne ballistas to attack the naval warships and coastal buildings of the Geely Marquis from a long distance.

  So the arrows of the ship-borne ballista will inevitably become the fastest war consumables, 100,000 pieces in stock, where can they be used? "

  Kong Ming put down the bowls and chopsticks, picked up the goose feather fan and shook it a few times, frowned and said, "Sir, do you consider building a few more arsenals?

  Based on the production capacity of all the arsenals we currently have, it is estimated that the subordinates can only supply 1,000 warships for daily consumption.

As soon as you remind, your subordinates will recall the routine information sent by Mr. Xinping. Sylvia Ocean will fight for three months. Nearly 3,000 warships will be trained in rotation. The full production capacity is only for consumption. Could it be that all military factories Shouldn't consumable strategic materials be prepared for the army fighting on the mainland at the end of the year? "

Qu Mao nodded and said, "It's okay to build a few more military factories, Kong Ming, you still remember what I told you on the afternoon of July 4th. I said that when I inspected the Jidao military factory, I mentioned a A machine that can quickly shape arrow shafts."

Speaking of this, Qu Mao simply put down the bowl and chopsticks, took a chopstick, dipped it in some vegetable soup, and began to draw on the table. Car machine, I forgot.

  Its working principle is very simple. By shaking the crank shaft, the raw material passes through the middle, and the turning tools on both sides automatically turn the rough wood embryo into a round arrow shaft, which is more standard and precise than manual work, and the speed will be faster.

  Based on my calculations, according to the shaft specifications of the ship-borne ballista arrows, if two people use one lathe together, one cranks the shaft and the other feeds, the production efficiency is bound to increase a lot. "

Kong Ming put down his goose feather fan, rushed forward, and said, "My lord, what I have learned about the efficiency of arrow production in military factories is that a skilled craftsman works 12 hours a day and can produce 6 finished ship-mounted ballista arrows." Arrow out, this thing of yours may only solve the problem of the shaft of the arrow, to what extent can the production efficiency be achieved?"

   Qu Maodao: "According to my calculations, it shouldn't be a big problem for two ordinary untrained workers to produce 6 arrow shafts an hour..."

  Kong Ming silently calculated, and said: "The division of labor between the arrow shaft and the arrowhead, and then assembly, can increase the efficiency by at least six times, and this is not counting the skill proficiency of the workers..."

Liu Qianhui said disdainfully: "Qu Mao, what are you thinking? How can the efficiency of the lathe be so low? Just a two-meter-long shipborne ballista shaft, a lathe can't give you 200-300 arrows in an hour. How could there be only 6 out of the car? In another world, I happen to have a cousin who is a turner..."

  Kong Ming's eyes lit up instantly, and he said, "200 per hour, for one person?"

   Qu Mao said angrily: "Liu Qianhui, shut up if you don't understand! The other world is an electric lathe, and now we are fighting for hegemony on the mainland, so we have to do it manually. It's pretty good if we can do it.

  The lathe in another world can turn even the hardest metal into the desired shape. Why don’t you blow it with Kong Ming? "

  Liu Qianhui said unconvinced: "Grandma's, it should be fine!"

  Kong Ming's eyes became brighter, and he asked: "My lord, Liu lord, can you make any shape you want?"

   Qu Mao saw that the vegetable soup he drew just now had dried up, so he dipped some more vegetable soup, and said while drawing: "The principle of it is...the specification is determined by the turning tool...

  Cut the raw material into a rough wooden billet, put it in here, shake the crankshaft, and..."

  Kong Ming pulled La Qumao and said, "My lord, are you full?

Otherwise, let's go to the study of the subordinate's house and take out a pen and paper to draw a schematic diagram. The picture drawn by this vegetable soup is not very clear. Sylvia is about to go to war. It must be a great achievement for the two of us to get this out, and It will definitely speed up the industrialization progress of our military factories. "

  Qu Mao immediately stood up and said, "I'm just full, let's go to the study to draw."

  Liu Qianhui said angrily: "Grandma, I only took two mouthfuls of rice, and you actually said that you are full, are you crazy!"

   Qu Mao ignored Liu Qianhui, but urged Kong Ming to take him to the study.

  Kong Ming was also dancing, dragged Qu Mao and ran to the study, leaving Liu Qianhui in a mess in the restaurant wind.
