Wuchang City Weapon Bureau.
Zhang Ning saw with his own eyes that the flintlock rifle modified by officials and craftsmen did not load the bullets, only the firing medicine and firing medicine. After ten trials, he only fired twice.
It took not much time to create a few pieces for testing. The barrel was ready-made, but the firing mechanism was rebuilt; but this result made everyone very frustrated. This kind of thing obviously cannot be mass-made and put into the battlefield. Otherwise, whether it can be launched depends entirely on luck or not, no stability at all.
Someone simply raised questions on the spot: To ignite with a stool flint, you have to use tinder first and then use a touch light; we have to fire ammunition by just hitting the flint by steel sheets, which is probably not easy.
This population is unrestricted, and the so-called officials in the Weapon Bureau are indeed not called officialdom. Most of them have poor backgrounds and no fame, and have little experience or knowledge; otherwise, officials with more thoughts will definitely not question this plan, because it was proposed by the King of Hunan himself.
Fortunately, Zhang Ning doesn't care about this kind of thing either.
Zhang Ning looked back at the person who was speaking just now and said in a very affirmative tone: A flintlock rifle that does not require open flames and only relies on flints must be made. The poor effect this time should be a problem with the design mechanism. If you try it a few more times, you will definitely be able to make it.
He was so sure, naturally because this kind of thing appeared in history, which was the experience of later generations rather than assumptions.
And he clearly remembered that the Industrial Revolution took place in 1860 and the mid-19th century, which was basically common sense; the flintlock rifle was around the end of the 16th and early 17th centuries, at least two hundred years after the Industrial Revolution. At that time, it was around the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. There was no so-called industry in the East and West in the world, and there was no such thing as machine tools, and it was all made by hand.
Since this thing has appeared in history, it must be made with the technology of this era.
Moreover, it is the Xuande period, and you can only rely on yourself to invent this kind of thing, and there is no way to introduce technology; because China is now the most developed region in the world economy and technology.
When Dongfang is purely behind in terms of technology, it will be delayed until the Wanli period.
However, the group of supervisors and craftsmen in front of him were at a loss, which made Zhang Ning feel very bad, and he felt that talented people were indeed very scarce.
He took the test piece and thought about it for a while. Perhaps the firing force was not strong enough and the friction could not produce reliable sparks, so it was not easy to ignite gunpowder.
The firearm structure from the fuse mechanism to the flintlock mechanism is a bit complicated, and Zhang Ning couldn't figure it out, so he had to talk on paper and hope it would be helpful to the craftsmen's skills and ideas. To increase the strength of the mechanism, some principles can be used.For example, gears and leverage... He said that he found that the weapons bureau had already raised Ma Dapeng and asked someone to use paper and ink to record the content. He hoped that Ma Dapeng was not doing a good job of flattering, but it would be better to really put his heart into it.
Now that I think about it, the secular flattery and human nature are really bad. When I really want to do a career, it is useless, which increases operating costs and reduces work efficiency.
No wonder Wei Xiaobao chose whoever doesn’t flatter you.
You must have seen a water truck. The human pedal is slower but it is laborious; the water on the other end of the transport of water travels faster but lighter.The principle of gear transmission is similar to that, but the structure is somewhat different... I have to draw a picture to explain it clearly.
Zhang Ning turned around and walked towards the chopping board where the paper and ink were placed.
At this moment, a voice behind her said: The villain knows what the prince is saying.A bell tower was built in the Song Dynasty, which was to respond to the emperor's words and deeds and the time; the bell tower was built with the river water to build a water truck, and there were many gears of all sizes and sizes inside, which reported the time and walked with the sun, moon and stars.In addition, there is another thing in the building called "六文", which can automatically ring and ring every quarter of an hour without human power.The bell tower was later destroyed by the Yuan army, but its structure is recorded in a book, and the villain once saw a handwritten copy of the ancient book.
After hearing this, Zhang Ning suddenly became interested and turned around to see who was talking. He saw that he was a thin middle-aged man with a sparse goatee beard and a little narrow face.
This person's remarks reminded Zhang Ning. Only then did he realize that there were many exquisite skills in ancient China, but there was no systematic theory and not many technology promoted. Only wooden seeders and other things used for agriculture attracted the attention and support of the imperial government, because grain production was the technology that the Central Plains dynasty had always paid attention to, including the astronomical calendar that guided agriculture.
He immediately praised: You are quite knowledgeable, what is your name, what job and what job did you do?
Everyone turned to look at the goatee, and many people looked suddenly, obviously they knew him.
Only Zhang Ning didn't know this person at all. He just came to the Weapon Bureau occasionally and was familiar with Ma Dapeng and several officials.
Even so, it is very rare for princes like Zhang Ning. The superiors personally inquire about the technical details of the craftsmen in every detail, which is really different from the nobles at this time. In people's eyes, the so-called big shots should always do something big that people cannot understand.
However, Zhang Ning's thinking is different. He feels that macro-level events are evolved from little things and reasonable rules, and just talking about big principles is not necessarily useful.
Therefore, in a more advanced modern society, human beings are not only studying macroscopic socioeconomics, but also focusing on quantum mechanics in small matters.
The goat beard hurriedly said: When it comes to the prince, the villain's surname is Tang and his name is Yang. He is a craftsman in the Weapon Bureau. He used to be... he looked at Feng Shui.
Others finally couldn't help but say: Emperor, the young people call him Tang Daxian. Using a compass to read Feng Shui is a side job. He sells coffins and writes tributes. He does everything as long as he dies, and he can catch monsters and exorcisms!
Everyone was already laughing out loud.
Tang Daxian hurriedly said: The villain dares not deceive the prince. If he dies, he will be buried in the soil. The first thing he needs to do is to look at Feng Shui.
For this king, heroes do not ask where they are, they only have talents.
Zhang Ning said calmly.
This sentence is very marketable in Xiangwang Group, because almost no one who defected to Zhang Ning in the early stage has a background worth showing off, and some are even down-and-out men who have never made a living before.
Even Ma Tiju, the current highest commander of the Weapon Bureau, was the leader of the blacksmith who fled to Fengxia Mountain. What kind of noble status does he have?
However, this Tang Daxian only attracted Zhang Ning's attention and made no contributions yet, so a hero is just a conversation.
Tang Daxian may have realized the opportunity, so he tried to speak more and show up, and said: Gears are rarely seen in the people, and they are mostly made of wood.The most important thing about this thing is that you must bite each other between the two wheels, and the size is right, otherwise you will not be able to use it.The main objects in our weapons are iron and forged steel. The gear size is small and more accurate. However, the measuring scales used by craftsmen from different places are generally similar, but in fact they have different differences. The workshops in Wuchang City are longer, but the scales in Changde are slightly shorter... Even in Wuchang City, the sizes between different workshops are slightly different.Therefore, the villain suggested that the size should be made with copper plates, and in the future, all workshops under the Weapon Bureau would make measuring tools according to the rules, so that the items they made could be universal.
Zhang Ning decided on the spot and ordered Ma Dapeng to adopt this suggestion and implement it in a critical and Japanese way.This reminded him, and he immediately asked the Weapon Bureau to set another rule: tolerance.
The concept of tolerance is very simple. The size of any component cannot be completely consistent and accurate. It will always allow some entry and exit, especially things that rely entirely on handmade things.
But some things are not good enough, such as the Weapon Bureau and the rivet firmware commonly used by craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty. The willow core is slightly larger than the female buckle and can only be firmly deformed by knocking in; but if the error becomes that the willow core is very small, it will not be reliable in any case.
The function of tolerance is to specify whether the error is too large or too small, within the allowable range; you cannot create a pair of screws and nuts, and the screws are a little larger than the nut, so how can you put them in?
However, it is okay if the screw is a little smaller than the nut. If the error is too large, the quality is at most poor, but it can be used.
This rule is quite simple, but only Zhang Ning can propose it in this era.
Because many things are developed from industrial society, people's thoughts do not have practical experience as their foundation, and they cannot realize even random thoughts and very simple things.
Zhang Ning had no intention of developing the so-called industry because what he needed had far exceeded his professional knowledge accumulation.
However, he wanted to make the technology and rules of weapon manufacturing more reasonable, so that the weapons produced can ensure quality and stable performance, and soldiers can use them easily on the battlefield; otherwise, just like the Han King regime, the society occupied by Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions is not underdeveloped, but he just cannot create firearms of qualified quality.
The decisive factor of a war may be a heavy fog, or it may be just a small stone in the handsome guy's boots.
Zhang Ning thought of this and looked back at the right and left, saying that the things you made were directly related to the lives of the warriors of the Suzaku Army in the battle formation, and they must not be played with.
Everyone's expression suddenly became awe-inspiring, because there was a law that after the cannons and muskets were delivered to the army, if the weight of the gunpowder was loaded, and the number of times of use was swelled, and a person was killed, then the person who was directly responsible for the manufacture of these weapons would be killed. The crime and punishment were so serious that his life would be paid. Who dares to play with the rules?
Otherwise, no matter how much people in power are speaking with reason and emotion, it will be useless no matter how much they say.
Once something happens, if it is forgiven at the discretion and someone will plead with mercy, then people always have excuses to use inferior products as good ones in every link. In the end, there may be situations where only profits are used to cut corners, and there will be more problems with the final completion of the equipment; rules and clear punishments are the way to restrain them.
Then Zhang Ning talked about the principle of leverage, which was also common sense for him, but in this era only he could explain it himself.
Leverage is common, needless to say, craftsmen understand it, and it can be seen everywhere.
However, the levers used by weapons are different, and some parts are bent; there is a simple multiplication formula for how to calculate the size and proportion of the force arm.
He knew that many of the people present were confused and certainly confused, but someone must have understood.Because when he convened people to formulate gun rules for artillery, some sensible people had already been screened out.
Zhang Ning saw with his own eyes that the flintlock rifle modified by officials and craftsmen did not load the bullets, only the firing medicine and firing medicine. After ten trials, he only fired twice.
It took not much time to create a few pieces for testing. The barrel was ready-made, but the firing mechanism was rebuilt; but this result made everyone very frustrated.
