Chapter 1447: Technological innovation!

"Master, Mr. Mo and Miss Mo are here~! Oh, Master Yan is here too!"

Around Shenshi, Song Xiaosi led Mo Huai and Mo Lingwei to Li Zexuan’s office

in the workshop. Amazingly, Mo Lingwei was still followed by Yan Shaoning. Li

Zexuan was surprised by what he saw, and secretly said that Yan Shaoning had

already fixed him. Is Lao Zhangren Mo Huai yet?

"Shanchang, I heard that you have something to tell us?"

Mo Huai arched his hands and said.

Li Zexuan hurriedly greeted: "Mr. Mo, Miss Mo, please sit down. I am looking

for you to come this time because I intend to let our workshop start a new

round of technological innovation. There are many aspects involved and we need

your help! "

"Technological innovation? Then, Xiao...Why didn't you call me Shanchang?"

Yan Shaoning heard this, somewhat dissatisfied.

Li Zexuan said in a huff: "This didn't call you, didn't you come here too? I

called Miss Mo, isn't it the same as calling you too?"

"Hey! What this says..."

Yan Shaoning couldn't help but laugh, but Mo Lingwei blushed, and bitterly

twisted Yan Shaoning's arm.

"Ahem!"

How sharp are Mo Huai's eyes, how can he not notice the little movements of

these two people? His old face went dark immediately, he coughed heavily, and

said: "Shanchang, what needs our father and daughter to do? Just say it, Mo

Mou must do his best!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Sit down first! Let's sit down and talk slowly!"

Several people Yiyan sat around a glass coffee table. Thanks to Li Zexuan's

office being big enough, even if there were seven or eight people sitting

there, it didn't seem crowded. After everyone sat down, Li Zexuan took out a

few drawings, spread them out, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, at present we not only own dams, but we also own waterwheels. In

addition to irrigating farmland, this waterwheel can also provide power for

machines. In fact, I don’t need to say this. You should all understand. Next,

we must first What I did was to build a hydraulic press. This is the drawing

of the hydraulic press.

After the stamping machine is completed, the waterwheel needs to be

transformed into a power equipment that can be docked with the stamping

machine. This is nothing more than adding some crank connecting rods for

transmission. After the transformation, the stamping machine can be docked

with the waterwheel. Driven by a car, it can replace manpower to repeatedly

forge steel, and its impact force is almost the same every time. For precision

forging, the performance of this thing is by no means comparable to that of

manpower! "

Mo Huai looked at the drawings carefully. After a while, he nodded and said,

"Shanchang, there is no problem with the transformation of the stamping

machine tool and the waterwheel. These two things are covered by the old man!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "I also have this intention. This Bahe Dam Mr. Mo

has been involved from beginning to end. Now the hydraulic machine is hosted

by you. That is the most appropriate! This matter, everyone in the workshop

will I will do my best to assist you!"

"Thank you Shan Chang!"

Mo Huai arched his hands and said.

Li Zexuan smiled, and then said: "Brother Zhang, after the hydraulic stamping

machine is ready, you will bring all the blacksmiths in the workshop to

produce the plate armor I gave you. Such a plate armor requires at least five

Thousand sets!"

At the beginning, Li Er talked to him and said that he wanted to expand the

mysterious armor army from 3,000 to 5,000 people. After the expansion, the

mysterious armor army will also need to update its ordnance equipment, and

these ordnance equipment must be all made by Qiqu Supplied by the Pavilion

Workshop, and must be made of vanadium steel!

"Five...five thousand sets? Hou Ye, did I hear you right?"

Zhang Hongsheng's body trembled and he almost fell off the chair. He opened

his mouth wide and said in amazement.

The rest of the people in the office also looked at Li Zexuan in shock.

Obviously everyone was shocked by the news that Li Zexuan was about to build

five thousand sets of armor.

"Shanchang, what do you want to make so many armors for? In case someone finds

out, then..."

After the shock, Mo Huai asked worriedly.

It is a capital crime to build weapons without authorization!

Li Zexuan said lightly: "Mr. Mo don't have to panic, this is a task entrusted

by your majesty, not a violation of the law!"

Mo Huai felt a little relieved when he heard this.

Li Zexuan looked at Zhang Hongsheng again and said, "Brother Zhang, these five

thousand sets of plate armor are not for you to make by yourself. You only

need to teach other craftsmen how to forge!"

Zhang Hongsheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master Hou, I didn’t mean

that. I’m just worried about the five thousand armors. The steel required is

extremely amazing. The workshop is afraid it’s unbearable! Especially vanadium

steel, which is so rare and used to Isn't it a waste to make armor?"

Li Zexuan couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't have to worry about

this. Benhou now has iron ore, coal mines, and vanadium ore. Besides, the iron

ore of the Changsun family can also support our workshop. Even if we build

another 5,000 sets of plate armor, this Hou can also bear it!"

The Northern Turks are the real confidant of Datang. Li Zexuan is now

considered to be a big family in the Tang Dynasty, and his family is also very

happy. He is determined not to allow the Turks to destroy his current good

life, as long as the Turks can be used. Fall, what does he pay for some steel?

Li Er’s strategy is undoubtedly extremely wise. In the vast prairie, infantry

can play a very limited role. Only the cavalry with strong mobility can gallop

on the grassland and achieve a surprising victory. The Xuanjia army is the

trump card of the Datang cavalry. In the trump card, Li Zexuan wants these

five thousand Xuanjia army to transform into five thousand Iron Man, in the

nest of Turkic people, rampage and invincible!

At that time, the Xuanjia army in a new face will surprise everyone in the

world!

Zhang Hongsheng understands the true background of the Qiqu Pavilion workshop

now. He clasped his fist and said: "In that case, that Zhang will go all out

and lead all the blacksmiths in the workshop to help Master Hou in the

shortest time. Make five thousand sets of plate armor!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "It's so good! Before the hydraulic stamping

machine is built, Brother Zhang can take a blacksmith to build five thousand

horses, all of which must be made of vanadium steel! Build a batch of

horseshoes!"

The weapon used by the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty is generally a horse 槊.

This thing is longer than a sword. It is most convenient for a horse to stab

people when charging. If it is made of vanadium steel, it will undoubtedly

increase its sharpness. For those Turkic soldiers wearing simple leather

armor, it is simply cutting melons and vegetables!

As for the horseshoes, after the big white horseshoe in his family was injured

last year, he nailed the big white horseshoes, but it has not been promoted

because of lack of iron at that time!

According to academic research, horseshoes first appeared in ancient Rome

around the world, about the first century BC. This kind of horseshoe is either

copper or iron, and its shape conforms to the lower part of a horse's hoof,

but it is different when it is fixed. In addition to using short nails, it

also needs to be tied with leather, which is a bit similar to the "Roman

shoes" worn by ancient Roman soldiers, so it is also called "horse sandals".

Among the murals of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, China, there is a picture of

the "nailed horseshoe" on the wall of Cave 302 built in the 4th year of

Emperor Kaihuang in Sui Dynasty (584 AD). From the picture, a horse is

standing, tethered to a tree, and a person stands behind, holding the right

hind limb of the horse, turning the hoof upwards. The hoof is painted with an

oval hoof like a palm ready to be placed.

Therefore, some people speculate that China had horseshoes in the Sui Dynasty,

but this claim has been lacking archaeological evidence to support it, and

according to the Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Rushi’s book "Zhufanzhi" recorded

that the horses of the Great Food Kingdom "use iron for "Shoes" are very

novel, which shows that horseshoes were not very popular in the Southern Song

Dynasty.

Indeed, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties,

horseshoes have not been found in the Central Plains. It was not until the

Yuan Dynasty that horseshoes began to be used on a large scale! As for why

there is a Sui Dynasty "nailed horseshoe" in the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, only

God knows!

"Horseshoes? What is this?"

Zhang Hongsheng couldn't help but wondered.

Li Zexuan pulled out a drawing and explained: "It is shoes for horses to

prevent horseshoes from cracking due to long-term wear and tear, which can

greatly reduce flattering wear! The appearance is like this. If you don’t

understand, you will look at it later. Look at the big white horse in Benhou's

house. The horseshoes on its four hooves have been installed for almost a

year!"

Zhang Hongsheng reacted and said happily: "Put shoes on the horse? Hou Ye,

this is a good way! Zhang did not know how many horses were crippled by

cracked feet before. With this horseshoe, it can be well prevented. The

horse's hoof is strained!"

Everyone was amazed, and Yan Shaoning couldn't help saying:

"Tsk tusk! Didn't I notice that your big white wears shoes before?"

Li Zexuan rolled his eyes, and said in a bad mood: "That's your blindness~!"

"Pump!"

Mo Lingwei couldn't help laughing, but seeing Mo Huai's expression stern, she

quickly stopped smiling.

"Oh! That's right! In addition to the horseshoes, you can make another batch

of horse armors at that time. You don't need to be too thick, just to

withstand ordinary swords!"

Li Zexuan looked at Zhang Hongsheng and said again.

Regarding horse armor, leather vests had appeared during the Shang and Zhou

dynasties. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, full-scale horse armors

began to appear. This thing does not need to be given drawings at all. Li

Zexuan believes that Zhang Hongsheng's knowledge can definitely be made.

Hearing that, everyone couldn't help taking a breath, vanadium steel armor,

vanadium steel horses, horseshoes, and horse armors. Is Li Zexuan planning to

build a super steel cavalry armed to the teeth?

They believe that such a terrifying cavalry, even if it is encountered by the

Turkic cavalry, will feel a headache, because this is an invincible cavalry

that has achieved the ultimate in attack and defense!

"Gudong!"

No matter how stupid Zhang Hongsheng is, he understands that Li Zexuan is

going to play a big ticket. He swallowed and responded with difficulty: "Yes!

Lord Hou!"

Li Zexuan nodded, he took out the Wind-Chasing Sword, handed it to Zhang

Hongsheng, and said, "Okay, there will be nothing to confess to you next. Take

this Wind-Chasing Sword first!"

Zhang Hongsheng looked surprised. Now he didn't dare to pick it up with one

hand. Instead, he took it with both hands "vigorously", then bowed towards Li

Zexuan and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your trust! Three days later, Zhang

will follow this. After Feng Jian returned to Zhao, Zhang went down here!"

"Ok!"

Li Zexuan nodded and gave a hmm.

In other words, he is not worried about Zhang Hongsheng running away with his

sword. After all, Zhang Yajiu's reputation is in charge there. If he can run

away, the monk can't run away from the temple, right?

"Mr. Wang, Miss Mo, although the generator of the hydropower station can

operate normally, the copper core used in the coil is not pure copper, which

will greatly affect the power generation efficiency of the generator, so I

plan to make the second generation. Generator, use high-purity copper core,

upgrade the existing generator!"

After Zhang Hongsheng left, Li Zexuan looked at Wang Ji and Mo Lingwei and

said.

"High-purity copper core? Shan Chang, there are inevitably impurities in this

copper. How do we purify it?"

Wang Ji frowned and asked.

Mo Lingwei also turned his attention to Li Zexuan. Although she is good at

physics, she is definitely not weak in chemistry. After all, smart people

learn everything fast. She has read the "Chemistry" textbook of the academy

more than once!

Li Zexuan replied in a deep voice: "Electrolytic refining! Now that we have

electricity, we will use electrolytic refining to remove impurities in the

blister copper and obtain high-purity brass! The specific steps are also very

simple. For the anode, sulfuric acid and bile alum aqueous solution are used

as the electrolyte. When the electricity is applied, the copper on the anode

is dissolved and enters the solution, and the copper in the solution is

precipitated on the cathode.

In this process, in addition to copper, there will be impurities such as iron

and zinc in the blister copper hanging on the anode. Because the metal

activity of iron and zinc is stronger than that of copper, it can replace the

copper in the electrolyte and precipitate copper on the cathode; When the

activity of the metal is lower than that of copper~www.mtlnovel.com~, it

cannot dissolve and form anode slime. In this way, the metal copper

precipitated on the cathode has a high purity. "

"That's it! The old man understands!"

Wang Ji pondered for a moment, then nodded and smiled.

Li Zexuan let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! An electrolysis

workshop needs to be opened as soon as possible in the workshop, dedicated to

refining copper!"

"Yes! The mountain is long!"

Wang Ji replied.

Li Zexuan looked at Mo Lingwei at this time and said, "Miss Mo, in addition to

upgrading the generator, I also want you to help me build a kind of electric

motor!"

"Motor? What is an electric motor?"

Mo Lingwei questioned.

Li Zexuan took out a thick stack of drawings and said: "The generator uses the

principle of magnetism, while this motor uses the principle of magnetism. The

general process is that the energized coil will generate a rotating magnetic

field and act on the rotor. , Forming the magnetoelectric power rotating

torque, which will keep rotating! The detailed details are clearly drawn in

these drawings. If Miss Mo has any doubts, you can always ask me."

Mo Lingwei said with joy: "Okay! The long mountain!"

"Hey! Shan Chang, Wei Er is just a daughter's home, you let her do so many

things alone, do you have the heart?"

Yan Shaoning on the side couldn't help but vomit.

Mo Lingwei glared at Yan Shaoning and said, "Humph! This is my voluntary. You

can't blame the mountain leader!"

Li Zexuan couldn't help smiling and said: "Haha! Shaoning! If you can't bear

it, you can help Girl Mo! You two are now colleagues, and you should help each

other!"

After all, he glanced at Mo Huai calmly, the latter's face was sullen, and

there was no happiness or anger at all. Li Zexuan couldn't help but murmured:

Has Yan Shaoning managed to get Mo Huai?
