Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Zhao Zimao became interested, looked at Chen Ying and asked, "Tungsten steel? What is tungsten steel?"

"Tungsten is a metal with extremely high hardness. The knives made of alloy steel made from it are extremely sharp, and are resistant to high temperature and wear. They are one of the most ideal knives." Chen Ying smiled wryly: "Don't look at me, I But I don’t have the ability to get it out!”

Not to mention, as soon as he mentioned tungsten steel, Zhao Zimao stared at him blankly, looking like he was going to eat people, which made Chen Ying's scalp go numb... There is no electricity these days, so where can he get tungsten steel? go?Even if you get tungsten, you can't process it.

There is no way, let's see the future, sooner or later, it will be made out.

Chen Ying is holding a seamless steel pipe. Although this kind of steel pipe is made of low-carbon steel, the thickness of the pipe wall is also different. If the diameter of this seamless steel pipe is reduced and rifling is carved inside, can it be made? muskets?

Thinking of this, Chen Ying still shook his head.

Firearms are the devil in Pandora's Box. Chen Ying didn't think about whether to release this devil or not.

Chen Ying didn't make up his mind until he left Huyang County.

However, Huyang County opened Chen Ying's horizons, and then Chen Ying asked Guo Luo to investigate the industrial development of the prefecture and county. These data are actually in the hands of Tiger Yicong. After receiving Guo Luo's intelligence summary, Chen Ying was dumbfounded again.

Today's Western Regions has more than 400 steel workshops, large and small. However, except for the Huaergou Steel Workshop under Chen Yingzhi and a few large steel factories that are used to manufacture armor and running tracks, other private steel workshops are all Cannot craft weapons.However, there are more than 400 steel workshops, which still surprised Chen Ying.

Except for iron and steel, there are five or six hundred coal mines, but most of them are small coal mines with an annual output of less than [-] shi, which are used to supply the daily life of the surrounding people.

Steel and coal have laid the foundation for Datang's industrial germination in the Western Regions.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Some people naively think that in the whole assembly line, each person is only responsible for processing a few parts or even one part, and each person is only responsible for assembling a specific part, and the production capacity can be doubled. That would be a joke.

No matter how you streamline the manual workshop, the efficiency will not be much higher.

It is the machine and the mold that really double the production efficiency. A machine is only responsible for using a specific mold or tool to process a process. After going through that set of machines, the product you want is almost ready, and the rest The only thing is to let people assemble it, such efficiency is very scary.

But the disadvantage is that the production line composed of a set of machines can only process that kind of product, and the size and weight are all fixed. If the product is upgraded and the size changes, all the knives and molds have to be scrapped and can only be updated. The cost is pretty scary.Ford's assembly line production is also based on the fact that it already has an extremely efficient production line. The speed of machine production parts has far exceeded the speed of workers assembling cars in traditional models. Machines can produce parts even faster.

To become an industrial empire, Datang is still the first step in the Long March.However, steel and coal are the foundation of industry, because the idea of ​​putting agriculture first is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Datang's industrial buds still focused on farmers' production tools.

Due to the continuous increase in steel production capacity, the price of steel is also getting lower and lower. The current steel price in the seventh year of Wude has been reduced by a full five times compared to the sky-high price of [-] yuan per catty in the first year of Wude.

Xu Caifu made great use of hydraulic impact machines in Hewan County and opened a carriage contour manufacturing factory.Eight hundred four-wheeled carriages or fifteen hundred two-wheeled carriages can be produced in a full month.Three years before Chen Ying arrived in the Western Regions, I am afraid that the entire Western Regions did not have a thousand horse-drawn carriages. After just three years, the number of horse-drawn carriages here has reached the [-] mark. Without detailed statistics, it is conceivable that almost every household has a car.

The largest industrial production plant in the Western Regions is still in the hands of Chen Ying, and the steel production capacity in Chen Ying's hands is approaching the 5000 million jin mark.Most of these steels are used to build roads.

When he arrived in Gaochang City, Chen Ying began to dismantle the sled and put on the carriage.Let the carriage walk on the track, so that you can hardly feel the vibration.The horse-drawn carriage was driven by horses, and it galloped along the road without any effort.

From Gaochang City to Pulei City, the whole city is 460 miles, and the road has been repaired.Chen Ying's team ran the 460 miles (equivalent to [-] kilometers per hour) in just eight hours. Li Xiuning had a slight cold and slept deeply. When he woke up, he found that he had arrived in Pulei County , Li Xiuning was very surprised and said: "I actually arrived in Pulei County. I thought it would be noon tomorrow. This Chidao is really amazing!"

Li Xiuning was a general who led the army. Her first reaction was that if she used the fast way to transport troops.At this speed, even if there is a rebellion in Jiannan Dao, the troops from Guanzhong Chang'an can reach Jiannan Dao within five days.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "If all the people in the world can cultivate this kind of path, then the unification of Kyushu and the unity of the world will be truly realized!"

Qin Shihuang unified the world, set up prefectures and counties, and paved roads across the country. It was the first time that the central government truly ruled the local area, but in fact it was impossible in the Han Dynasty, because Liu Bang divided the princes and kings, and the princes and kings did not agree with the central government. Local counties are still semi-autonomous.

Li Xiuning thought for a while, and smiled wryly: "The price of this road is too high, the court may not be able to repair it, unless the court can use slaves to build the road like you, otherwise the price..."

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "Sanniang, you are thinking too badly. This road not only benefits the court, but also the common people and gentry. They have food, cloth, and materials in their hands. The reason is that the transportation capacity is limited. There are also costs. For example, if the oranges in Lingnan have a good harvest, but they cannot be transported out, they will only rot. The oranges that can be transported to Guanzhong are as high as five yuan per catty, and one mu of orange trees can produce four thousand catties. Oranges, as well as chickens and ducks raised in the north, and aquatic products in the south, because of transportation costs, they cannot be exchanged, so they can only be wasted!"

Li Xiuning nodded.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "The imperial court has no money to build Chidao, but the aristocratic families have money. They should be able to see the benefits of building Chidao. At that time, they themselves will make the most correct choice!"

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying in disbelief and said: "Those iron cocks, let them pay, how is it possible?"

"Of course they don't have to pay!" Chen Ying pointed at Chidao and said, "They naturally have no right to enjoy the convenience of this Chidao! For example, I built the Chidao in the Western Regions, so I am naturally the owner of the Chidao. If the Hedong family is willing to build the road from Hedong to Chang'an, according to the amount of investment, whoever buys the most will be the largest shareholder. Have the right to decide!"

Chen Ying now finds that the most indispensable thing in Tang Dynasty is smart people. From a few simple models, a machine that is not weak in shape can be successfully copied. This is the cleverness of Tang people.Chen Ying plagiarized the steering device of the four-wheeled carriage from later generations, and this steering device was also moved to the city wall by the Tang people to serve as the base of the racket. In this way, the racket used for defending the city is not only more flexible, but also more labor-saving and powerful. bigger.

This turning device was also moved to the ship by clever shipbuilders. Originally, on small ships, dozens of helmsmen were required to be in charge of turning the rudder, but now because of the use of this steering device and movable pulley block, even It is a ten thousand stone ship, and three or five people can easily turn it around.

In addition to this, things like Chen Ying's invention were quickly popularized by the blast furnace of steel. Now Datang has abandoned the method of pouring steel, frying steel, and more primitive refining methods, and all use the blast furnace to make steel.Since Chen Ying proposed the concept of alloy steel, and since Chen Ying invented stainless steel, spring steel, high manganese steel, high carbon steel, etc., more alloy steels have appeared in Datang, such as acid-resistant steel, wear-resistant steel, heat-resistant steel, etc. Steel, alloy tool steel, rolling bearing steel, alloy spring steel and special performance steel (such as soft magnetic steel, permanent magnetic steel, non-magnetic steel), etc.

After Chen Ying brought forward the original pesticide technology and the concept of insecticide and bactericide, Datang farmers also introduced insecticides one after another, and some even used arsenic to kill locusts. Although this was a failed attempt, it has made gratifying progress.

When Li Xiuning looked at the bewildered Chen Ying in a daze, Chen Ying's brain had already gone out of his mind. He thought of the futures and stocks of future generations. At that time, a stock exchange can be established by way of stock subscription.

Take out the railways that have been built, those that are under construction, and those that have not yet been built, and divide them into hundreds of millions of shares. Each share is sold for a few red copper coins, and those who want to participate in the railway dividend can buy it.

As for the operation, Chen Ying has already thought about it, this time he must be the banker himself!

Li Xiuning couldn't understand Chen Ying's sweet face drooling, so he pinched the soft flesh on Chen Ying's waist.

Chen Ying woke up from the fantasy in pain.

Chen Ying put his arms around Li Xiuning's shoulders and said, "I'm going to get rich!"

Li Xiuning reached out and touched Chen Ying's forehead, and said suspiciously: "It's not hot, it's not dark yet, why are you dreaming!"

"I'm not dreaming!" Chen Ying pointed at Chidao and said with a smile: "If a country is compared to a person, then Chidao is the blood vessel in the body, carrying the function of transporting nutrients. You have seen surgery, you should Know what blood vessels mean to a person!"

……

In the East Palace of Chang'an City, Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng are playing chess.

Li Jiancheng picked up a chess piece, and thoughtfully said: "Changsun Wuji's desire for fame and fame is still too eager, and he actually went to Fu Gongyou to point fingers... It's just..."

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince thinks that Changsun Wuji really decided to change King Qin's order without permission?"

Li Jiancheng asked doubtfully, "Isn't it?"

Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "Changsun Wuji would never dare to act behind Qin King's back. Qin King is a man who is lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside. He seems to be vain, but in fact..."

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng suspiciously and said, "Xuan Cheng thinks, what should I do?"

Wei Zheng smiled wryly and said: "Your Highness, killing surrendered ministers one after another is not good for the Tang Dynasty's reputation. Your Highness should save Du Fuwei's life."

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng suspiciously and said, "Save Du Fuwei's life? Don't think about Du Fuwei now!"

Wei Zhengdao: "Waiting for King Wu, kowtow to Changsun Wuji to make amends, do you really think this court can accommodate him?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Du Fuwei, how can we save his life!"

Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "Then let His Majesty adopt Du Fuwei as his adopted son and give him the surname Li."

Li Jiancheng pondered alone while stroking his beard, and was speechless for a long time.

Wei Zheng went on to say: "If Your Highness wants to go to this school, you might as well propose to Dugu Xiude that Aunt Shuangju of Dugu Xiude marry Du Fuwei as his wife!"

The Dugu family is a wealthy family in Guanlong, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, especially the mother of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of Li Tang, is the daughter of Duguxin.
