Chapter 835： Crazy research and development

  Chapter 835 Crazy R&D

When Qu Mao was having lunch at Kong Ming’s house, Kong Ming happened to ask about the production of the military factory. Qu Mao shared the lathe equipment by the way. Kong Ming immediately became interested, and immediately took Qu Mao, who had only eaten a few bites, to the study to draw Schematic diagram of the lathe.

  After all, the efficiency of the military factory in producing shipborne ballista arrows or other arrows or crossbow bolts will increase by at least six times, which is too attractive to Kong Ming.

  And after the invention of this thing, it will inevitably accelerate the division of labor and cooperation in the production of arrows and crossbows in military factories, which will help accelerate the industrialization process of military factories.

Qu Mao also had the same thoughts, so he was immediately enthusiastically brought into a research and development task by Kong Ming. In fact, what Qu Mao studied in another world was not engineering at all, but economics and management. Engineer's work.

Starting from having lunch on July 24th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Kong Ming plunged into the study of Kong Ming’s home and spent an afternoon drawing all the concept drawings and parts drawings. Afterwards, the two did not sleep, and went to the blacksmith’s shop overnight. and carpentry workshops to produce accessories.

Fortunately, Reservoir Village relies on the water retention dam of Lihe Reservoir, and there is a power research institute, so a large number of carpentry workshops and blacksmith shops have been built around. People process accessories, and craftsmen respond.

  The two of them kept discussing their ideas as if they were in a state of madness, and they kept drawing drawings of accessories for the workers in the blacksmith shop and carpentry workshop to produce them and conduct actual experiments.

   Qu Maoyuan thought that the technical idea of ​​the lathe could be replicated on the Continent for Hegemony. After all, what he needed was not a lathe that could cut the hardest metal, but a lathe that only needed to cut the easiest wood.

   But after the real research and development, Qu Mao realized that it would not be an easy task to move the most basic technology from another world to this world.

  In the beginning, Qu Mao and Kong Ming planned to use metal blades as turning tools. After all, it is reasonable to use a knife to cut wood. It is nothing more than adding a crankshaft that is shaken by hand.

  But after the turning tool with the metal blade was ready, Qu Mao and Kong Ming found that it either got stuck after a while, or the metal blade broke off quickly, which made Qu Mao and Kong Ming very annoyed.

After several days of experiments, Qu Mao and Kong Ming finally chose to use a thick iron block as a turning tool to extrude and shape the rough wood embryo that was sent in. During the extrusion process, the excess part of the rough wood embryo was scraped off. The iron block as the turning tool is always in the state of rotation.

Using this kind of heavy iron block as the turning tool needs to keep the turning tool in a rotating state all the time. Therefore, the rough wood blank needs manual assistance in movement. Simply put, it needs to be fed manually. It is easy to break.

  However, the breaking of the raw material and the breaking of the turning tool have completely different effects on the production efficiency.

Qu Mao and Kong Ming, two people in Lidao Reservoir Village, are like crazy, thinking about this for a while, thinking about that for a while, trying this component for a while, and trying another component for a while, the two of them are in the study of Kong Ming’s house The sketches and accessories drawings drawn are more than one foot thick in a few days.

The Outlying Island Reservoir Village surrounds the Power Research Institute, and there are at least 300 carpentry workshops and blacksmith shops in total, and they are all the kind of carpentry workshops and blacksmith shops with more than 3 people each. In this way, in the past few days, Qu Mao and Kong Ming have been tossing enough. At least 100 carpentry workshops and blacksmith shops are only working around the needs of Qu Mao and Kong Ming.

It is also fortunate that there are a large number of blacksmith shops and carpentry workshops around Reservoir Village, so even if Qu Mao and Kong Ming suddenly come up with an accessory, the surrounding blacksmith shops and carpentry workshops can quickly provide a solution for the two. Man-made, so as not to delay the time of Qu Mao and Kong Ming's experiment.

  The two of them were infatuated and drunk, and basically slept very little at night, and often forgot to eat. Although Liu Qianhui was extremely dissatisfied, she didn't dare to talk casually to affect the two of them.

  Being busy until the noon of July 30th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Kong Ming spent five days and nights on research and development, and finally built a large lathe that could barely achieve the effect.

  This lathe requires two people to shake the crank shaft to drive the turning tool formed by three pieces of iron to rotate, and then one person pushes it to feed the material.

   Qu Mao, Kong Ming, and Liu Qianhui tested the efficiency of the new lathe together. They could only produce three arrow shafts in one hour. The efficiency was far from what Qu Mao boasted to Kong Ming.

  But considering that the three of them basically have no experience in arrow shaft production, and the three of them don’t feel tired after working for an hour, Qu Mao and Kong Ming are still very satisfied with the effect.

Even if three people can produce three arrow shafts in an hour, on average, each person can produce one arrow shaft per hour, which is more than a skilled craftsman working 12 hours a day in the Jidao military factory to produce 6 ship-borne ballista arrows. The finished product, on the surface, seems to have doubled the efficiency.

  Kong Ming caressed the simple and clumsy lathe, and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, the efficiency has been doubled, and we must hurry up and let Xuande go to the military factory to start production.

  In the subsequent production process, optimize while using.

  The biggest advantage is that the experience requirements for workers are reduced, and the physical exertion of workers is greatly reduced. "

   Qu Mao curled his lips and said, "Let's do this first. It's far from what I expected, but it's already good to have such results at this stage."

   The cheating system gave a lot of rewards for cheating, but it only did a simple data processing of this lathe, and did not generate any lathe construction drawings, which made Qu Mao feel a little disappointed.

  Shaking off a trace of disappointment, Qu Mao said: "Kong Ming, Sylvia and Fuer will send troops to carry out raids on August 1, and we should send them to Jidao earlier."

  Kong Ming asked: "My lord, where does the navy depart from?"

   Qu Maodao: "The reef chain naval military base, we have to go to Wucheng Port first, and the war is expected to start on the 3rd."

  Kong Ming sighed, and said: "My lord, my subordinates have informed Xuande to carry this lathe by himself. The two of us and Master Liu will go directly to the Reef Chain Naval Military Base to see the navy off for the expedition.

   It is hoped that after Xuande obtains this new type of lathe, the production speed of shipborne ballista arrows can be accelerated. "

Qu Mao nodded with a wry smile, and said: "For the time being, that's all we can do. Later, you will stay at the Jidao Military Factory for a while to see if you can optimize the lathe as soon as possible. The lathe in my impression is lighter than this crude and clumsy guy. And much more efficient."

  Kong Ming smiled and said: "My lord, this is just a principle machine, and my subordinates will improve it soon. Please don't worry, my lord."
