Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 534

[Chapter 534 Steam Engine Workshop]

Liang Mansion.

When Dou Wei conspired with Zhao Mu, Liang Kaizheng asked his eldest son Liang Feng to return to Lincheng, Zhejiang Province.

“This time King Yan will have to peel off his skin even if he doesn’t die. The royal family has nothing to fear. If this is the case, my Liang family doesn’t have to obey the imperial edict anymore.” Liang Kai said to Liang Feng.

Seeing that his father was happy, Liang Feng became happy, he said: “My Liang family is now rich and powerful, with countless elite soldiers and generals under my command, but now the imperial court is just an empty shell, and I have no right to shout and shout at my Liang family. Taking down Yizhou this time and controlling the southward sea route will make my Liang family even more powerful.”

“Indeed, after so many years of forbearance, my Liang family finally no longer needs to hide their edge.” Liang Kai smiled lightly.

This time the Wufeng Island pirates were wiped out by the Black Shark pirates.

To his Liang family, Yizhou, which had always been protected by the black shark pirates, was like a naked girl lying in front of him.

If you don’t take it at this time, when will it be.

Although he knew that behind Wufeng Island was Dongying.

But he, who has been doing business with Japan for a long time, knows very well that Japan is just a tiny place.

And his Liang family almost controlled half of Dasong Jiangnan.

Furthermore, now his Liang family has mastered the skill of casting artillery.

Why be afraid of Japan anymore.

Thinking of this, he said to Liang Feng, “After you go back, you have to plan carefully, and you must take down Yizhou quickly. Don’t do it.”

“Yes, father.” Liang Feng nodded heavily.

…

Yanzhou.

Zhao Xu was completely unaware of the turmoil caused by the news of the plague.

Of course, he didn’t bother to pay attention to the reactions of all parties.

He has given up hope for Da Song’s mess.

No matter how rotten it is, where can it go?

At this moment, he was standing with Wang Chong in front of a newly built workshop.

On the door of the workshop, there is a plaque hanging impressively, with the four characters of steam engine workshop written on it.

After providing the Bing Zhansi with a steam engine to cut the rifling.

Zhao Xu and Wang Chong led the students to build another six steam engines.

These six steam engines were placed in the steam engine workshop.

Among them are three steam engines, each of which uses a crankshaft to connect three boring machines, and a total of nine boring machines are dedicated to cutting cylinders.

In place of the rubber belt, a cowhide belt was attached to the flywheel that turned the remaining two steam engines.

The cowhide belt is connected to a metal rod, and the metal rod passes through the three wheels, so that there are three cowhide belts at intervals on the three wheels.

Each end of the leather belt is connected with a wheel, and the three wheels are staggered from each other.

A metal rod fixed by a wheel rotates, driving a small forging hammer to strike up and down continuously to forge metal structures.

The second wheel is the drill press, which is used to build holes in the metal.

The third wheel drives the grinder, which is used to grind metal parts, which is actually a rotating grinding wheel.

He and Wang Chong just slightly modified the jade craftsman’s grinding machine and used it.

The linkage of three lathes can create some simple spare parts, enough to support the mass production of steam engines.

There was also a steam engine lying idle.

Of course, this is not redundant, but waiting for the arrival of other types of lathes.

After all, in the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century, the types of lathes were basically fully developed.

There are drilling machines, grinding machines, boring machines, gear processing machines, screw processing machines, milling machines, and planers.

However, the types of lathes in Yanzhou are still very few at present and need to be continuously enriched.

Otherwise, more complex parts cannot be produced.

“Your Highness, the steam engine will be built much faster now.” Wang Chong said with a satisfied face.

Although more complex lathes have not yet been built.

But the current forging machines, drilling machines, boring machines and grinding machines are basically sufficient for the production of steam engine parts.

After all, steam engine parts are of the careless type and do not require delicate parts.

Most importantly, it is enough to ensure that the cylinder does not leak.

Zhao Xu nodded and followed Wang Chong into the steam engine workshop.

The roar of the machine immediately covered the voices of the two. ‘

The artisans are standing by the lathe, making parts for the steam engine.

There are craftsmen staring at the working steam engine.

Once the steam engine fails, they have to eliminate it immediately.

After the steam engine was put into use, Zhao Xu asked Wang Chong to train the first batch of craftsmen who mastered the use of steam engines and lathes.

Now these craftsmen are surrounded by more than ten craftsmen.

They are newcomers, and through the introduction of the old and the new, they will master the usage of various machines just like the first batch of craftsmen.

“You can hand over the steam engine workshop to a student. Next, you will focus on the development of lathes and other machinery.” Zhao Xu almost whispered to Wang Chong.

The steam engine workshop is too noisy.

Wang Chong nodded, showing a relieved smile.

The steam engine workshop is a task entrusted to him by King Yan.

Now that the mission was complete, he was finally free.

Thinking of the blueprints given by King Yan, and all kinds of machinery, he was immediately full of energy.

After walking around the steam engine workshop, Zhao Xu and Wang Chong came out.

Taking over the album he drew from Wang Chong, he turned to one of the pages, and said to Wang Chong: “The next point is this textile machine, called the Jenny Textile Machine. This king wants to build a textile factory. , the people of Yanzhou will not be able to wear clothes due to the lack of clothes.” In the

early days of the steam engine, the most prosperous industry was the textile industry.

Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are the most basic things for human beings, and they are also the most profitable livelihood in this era.

“Jenny spinning machine?” Wang Chong looked at it and nodded slightly.

After talking about this matter, Zhao Xu asked Wang Chong to go to work, and went to the Military Division by himself.

As for the location of the steam engine workshop, Zhao Xu chose Chengde Workshop.

After all, steam engines will mainly be used by civilians in the future.

“Can the first batch of rifled guns be delivered?”

Zhao Xu asked this first thing when he arrived at the Military Division.

At present, rumors of the plague cover almost every corner.

Mule Hongzhen must be secretly happy now.

And in this way, the trap he set for Beidi was half successful.

The remaining half is rifled guns.

Without this thing, he definitely wouldn’t dare to casually say that he wanted to take back Ning Jindusi.

After all, Beidi currently has a heavy army in Ningjindusi.

Relying on the royal army with flintlock guns may be able to fight, but after the fight, he will also suffer heavy casualties.

And as long as the rifle is installed and combined with the trap he set for Beidi, at least he can minimize the sacrifice.

“Return to Your Highness, 18,000 rifles are ready and ready to be transported away at any time.” Wang Ying led Zhao Xu to the treasurer’s office.

There are many long wooden boxes in the warehouse, and inside are rifled guns.

Zhao Xu nodded in satisfaction, it would be too late to hand over the rifles to the soldiers of the palace’s pro-army until the time of the battle.

They also need time to become familiar with new firearms.

Therefore, the 18,000 rifled guns will be divided into different places such as Ning Jinjun, Bastion, Yanguan, etc., so that the soldiers can adapt in advance.

It was expected to be updated more, so as not to be scolded, but the child suddenly had a high fever, and the snail was so upset that he couldn’t write at all.

Hey, let’s not talk about it, the more you owe, the more you owe, the man who has a family can’t afford to be hurt, and he keeps doing trivial things all day long.
