Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 4 Chapter 18: steampunk era

  The twelfth floor of the library building is also the highest floor, and the layout is not much different from the downstairs.

   Yang Song watched Shen Kuo indulgingly rummaging through the various drawings on this floor. He did not disturb Shen Kuo and looked around the bookshelf.

   "Design of Steam Engine Power System for Ships of Hundred Ton Class", "Design of Steam Engine Powered Industrial Lathe", "Design of Thousand Ton Hydraulic Press", "Design of Practical Rail Wheel Steam Power Traction Locomotive"...

   Looking at these names, Yang Song can be regarded as finding the invisible reward of the system. It is these various design drawings, all of which are very practical, just use them directly.

   Yang Song looked around. Although these drawings didn't cover much scope, they were all important representative machines in various fields.

   Yang Song looked at these drawings thoughtfully, and it seemed that the system was meant to help Xia Guo speed up the development of industrialization!

   You need to know that a machine is not a perfect design right away. From the initial prototype to the final maturity, it takes a lot of trial and error.

   The system is now directly given such drawings. Although it suppresses Xia Guo’s R&D capabilities, it saves a lot of time and industrialization time.

   All that is left is to digest these drawings and turn all kinds of machines from drawings into real objects, and Xia Guo’s productivity will be qualitatively improved.

   On the other hand, the rewards of the various technical materials of the system actually have a very large suppression on Xia Guo's training of various research talents, unless all future knowledge depends on the system.

   Because in the process of researching trial and error, researchers can sum up a lot of practical experience, and various mistakes will be avoided in future research, which has a great effect on the training of researchers.

   But now that these drawings are directly available, although time is saved, it is fatal to Xia Guo's future!

   Since Yang Song has a clear understanding of this aspect, it is not impossible to reduce the damage, and he also knows a way to avoid damage, which is to use time to polish and remove precipitation.

  On the premise of sufficient theoretical knowledge, as long as these technical materials are completely digested, after one or two generations of precipitation, this welfare trap can be completely cleared.

   Fortunately, there are not many knowledge technologies in the era of knowledge steam. If the era of electrification, atomic energy, and information era, such growth will not be completely eliminated.

   "My lord, these drawings are good, but the minister suggested that they can only be used for reference, not all of them can be used directly." Shen Kuo quickly browsed around and suggested to Yang Song a little worried.

   "The minister is worried that all the countries directly use these drawings, there will be some adverse effects, and the design parameters in these drawings may not meet the needs of the country."

   Yang Song heard Shen Kuo’s suggestion, and knew that the other party had also noticed these problems, and smiled slightly: “Chen Zhong said that, don’t worry, about these machines, take your time, don’t worry.”

   There are no external threats to Xia Country now. All that is left is to develop with peace of mind. Anyway, time is now on Xia Country's side.

   In a few years, Xia Guo will become an industrial country. When the time comes to face the land outside the pass, even if it is a million army, Xia Guo will not be afraid!

   Yang Song has enough confidence to make Xia Guo stronger, and the task of dominating one side is still there.

   Suddenly, Yang Song found a name in the corner of the bookshelf that he was very interested in, "Post-installed rifled flintlock design"!

   After loading? Rifled? Or flintlock gun? Seeing this name, Yang Song looked dazed. In his impression, aren't all flintlocks pre-installed? How come there is a flintlock after loading? As for whether there is rifling or not, it is no longer within his scope of thinking.

   Then he saw a "Front-mounted Smooth Bore Flintlock Rifle Design" name beside him. This name matches the description of the Flintlock Rifle in Yang Song's impression.

   But how come there are two musket design drawings? The questions that followed immediately came to Yang Song's mind.

   He called Shen Kuo to take a look and asked: "Cunzhong, can you see the difference between these two types of musket drawings? What are the shortcomings of each?"

   After reading the design drawings of the two types of muskets, Shen Kuo pondered for a while, and reported to Yang Songzhen: "Go on! These two design drawings have been given to the minister."

"The shortcoming of the "Post-loading rifled flintlock rifle design" here is that it is very demanding. No matter the material or the processing technology, there is no way to process it without a lathe, and there must be specific bullets." Shen Kuo finished after-loading The shortcomings of the rifled flintlock musket, and then the advantages: "The advantages are long range, fast rate of fire, high accuracy, and convenient and quick operation."

"The shortcomings of the "Front-mounted Smooth Bore Flintlock Design" here are the short range, slow rate of fire, low accuracy, and inconvenient operation." Shen Kuo basically drew it again, and Yang Song probably also knew Shen Kuo would say next. what.

   Shen Kuo went on to preach: "The advantages are convenient manufacturing, low cost, and much lower requirements on processing technology."

   Shen Kuo has researched and developed the fire from beginning to end, and he knows all aspects of the musket. Therefore, he has only read these two drawings once and he has quite a sense of it.

   After listening to Shen Kuo’s introduction, Yang Song said that these two weapons have their own advantages and disadvantages. Basically, there are two directions and two choices.

   Yang Song knows that the rear-loading rifle gun is the future choice, but now the system provides him with two choices. It is estimated that he is telling Yang Song that he wants to use which weapon you want!

If Yang Song chooses now, Yang Song will choose front-mounted smoothbore flintlock 100%, because now only with cold weapons, Xia Guo has very few opponents around, let alone using muskets, that’s all. Bullying!

   It is precisely because there is no urgent need. After Yang Song understood the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of muskets, he said to Shen Kuo: "Let's build the steam engine first."

At this time, Liu Ji had also read the plan that Yang Song handed him at the court meeting, and suggested to Yang Song: "The plan made by the emperor, the minister thinks it will be presented to the ministers in the next court meeting. Simply report it and click here~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Liu Ji’s words mean that he has no objection to this plan, and basically there is nothing worth changing. After all, this is also Yang Song's long history. It is too hard to justify any major loopholes in the plan that has been revised repeatedly.

   "It's just that this plan is implemented completely, and the population needed is very large. Even if it is two or three million people, Yichen estimates that it is not enough." Liu Ji finally pointed out a point that needs attention.

Yang Song nodded and said: "I know, I still know that the cost of implementing this plan is very high. And now the annual national steel output is only a thousand tons, but it is fully implemented according to this plan, and the steel output is at least required. Only 100,000 tons or more will work."

  In the industrial age, the demand for steel is very high. All kinds of machines are made of steel.

  To have so much steel, it is necessary to increase the mining volume of minerals, not only iron ore, but coal as a fuel!

   The so-called pulls the whole body, all the growth can transform Xia State into an industrial country, even though it is an industrial country in the steam age.

   But such a nationwide reform cannot be completed overnight. Even with the various conveniences provided by the system, it still requires a certain amount of time, and this time is calculated in years!
