Become a mayor from today

"Let's go and have a look." Liu Feng nodded, very curious about how the manual punching machine was doing.

"My lord, please come down with my subordinates." The old blacksmith immediately led the way and walked to the other side of the yard.

The courtyard of this military workshop is like several courtyard houses. The types of work in each courtyard are different. Some are for research and some are for production.

"clang!"

Liu Feng and the others followed behind the old blacksmith, and heard the roar of metal collisions from a distance.

When they got to the place, Liu Feng and the others saw an iron workbench with four iron pillars the size of two fingers. There was a square iron block on it, and the four corners were fixed with circular rings, which fit on the four iron pillars. On the top, above the iron block is an iron chain, and on the iron chain is a pulley block.

At this time, two people were pulling the iron chain, pulling up the iron block, and then quickly let go. The iron block suddenly fell and hit the workbench below, making a violent "clang" sound.

"Pull it up quickly." The old blacksmith shouted. After someone pulled it up, he ran to the workbench. There was a concave groove on it, which was the mold of the punching machine.

The old blacksmith pried up the thing stamped by the mold, carefully held it in front of Liu Feng, looked at him a little nervously, and waited for his evaluation.

"This is a piece of armor." Liu Feng took the piece of armor and observed it. It was still hot. The shape of the piece of armor was a little deformed, so it had to be modified before it could be used.

"Young master, is it that simple to make a piece of nail?" Mina's blue eyes were full of surprise. You must know that a piece of nail can only be made by continuous beating and shaping by manpower.

"This is pseudo-industrial production." Liu Feng sighed. He was not satisfied with the manual stamping. Although it was faster than manual stamping, it was not his ideal stamping machine.

The emergence of the stamping machine is to liberate the labor force and speed up the output of casting products; the speed, yield, etc. of the human stamping machine in front of us will definitely not be high, and there are many problems, but it is an improvement. Compared with the manual hammer It's much faster to tap once.

Chapter 0404 Sky Fortress.

"Pseudo-industrialization?" An Li frowned. She still knew a little about the word industrialization. In the words of the young master, it can be called industrialization if it is dozens or hundreds of times faster than human labor.

"Old blacksmith, this manual punching machine will continue to be improved, and fish scale armor can also be produced." Liu Feng said calmly.

The fish-scale armor is what Liu Feng will use to change the army's outfits. It is made of high-quality steel and woven into armor pieces. This will reduce the importance of the armor and make it more defensive than ordinary armor.

"Yes." The old blacksmith nodded, feeling a little lost in his heart, knowing that this thing would not be in the eyes of the city lord.

He decided to go back at night and continue to study the hydraulic punching machine. If the river outside was not frozen, he would have wanted to start making it.

"Old blacksmith, the other thing is the most important thing, get that thing out first." Liu Feng urged.

"Ah? The No. [-] blueprint that the city lord mentioned?" The old blacksmith said in a daze.

"Yes, that thing is the best source of power." Liu Feng affirmed, that thing is the magic weapon for the opening of industrialization...

"Yes, I will definitely make No. [-]." The old blacksmith promised solemnly.

"If you can make it by the end of next year, I will give you a big reward." Liu Feng smiled lightly.

There is also a research institute in the military workshop, which is the No. [-] Research Institute. The old blacksmith is one of the main researchers of Object No. [-], and his son is working on No. [-] Object now.

Even if there are blueprints provided by Liu Feng, it is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task for the old blacksmiths, and many things do not know how to do it at all.

"Yes." The old blacksmith raised his head and roared, "Death must be made."

The big reward from the city lord is a real big reward. There is a reward system in the scientific research department, and the big reward above is what everyone in the scientific research department wants.

Eliza was dumbfounded listening to the riddle-like conversation, what is Object No. [-]?

Mina and Anli looked at each other, and frowned thoughtfully. They also knew only a little about Object No. [-]. They had never seen anything specifically, and only knew that it was something that could exert great strength.

"Let's go." Liu Feng nodded, turned around and walked outside. After seeing the military workshop this time, he also knew that there are many things that cannot be rushed, and now he is a little anxious.

The manual stamping machine is just the beginning of Liu Feng's industrialization experiment. Now it seems that it is temporarily impossible to realize the industrialization of some objects with the manual stamping machine. The failure rate is too high, and precise force and so on are not enough.

In fact, Liu Feng was thinking about a hydraulic stamping machine, or the No. [-] object as a power source. These can be conceived, but some parts cannot be produced with the technology of this era, and he has to buy them from the earth, such as Bearings, that's a big hurdle.

What he wants is to get rid of the dependence on the earth. In some aspects, he cannot rely on the earth, such as mass production technology, otherwise Liu Feng will have to travel back and forth between the earth and another world to transport parts when expanding the production line in the future.

And after the beginning, there is absolutely no way to stop. The demand for industrialization will only increase. Once it stops and expands, it will be impacted. The bottleneck will be stuck on the point that Liu Feng is worried about, that is, over-reliance on the earth.

Liu Feng will be more relaxed if he relies less on it. After all, as he develops and grows in the future, every industry depends on a little bit of the earth. I'm afraid Liu Feng will become a transport worker, and his inner space is only two cubic meters in size.

That's why Liu Feng only provided knowledge and let the scientific research department study it by itself, in order to let the scientific research department have a technical accumulation, and only after having a solid foundation can the industrialization he conceived be realized.

Of course, the human punching machine is just a microcosm of the industry. Liu Feng mostly uses the punching machine in military production, such as the production of fish scale armor and the production of arrowheads. As for civilian use, he is not in a hurry for the time being.

Now Xiyang City is still semi-industrialized, maybe not even semi-industrialized, when Liu Feng can start to open up when most of the labor can be liberated.

"Ta Tata..."

Liu Feng and his party walked out of the military workshop, and Niu Si asked beside him, "Master, are we going now?"

"Let's go to Research Institute No. [-]." Liu Feng glanced at Fu Lei who was staring straight at him, and if he didn't look at the hot air balloon, the girl might bite someone.

"Number three?" Niu Si was stunned, that Sky Fortress Research Institute?No. [-] Research Institute, which is stricter than the military workshop? ? ?

"Let's go." Liu Feng stepped forward, Fu Lei trotted to keep up, and reached out to grab Liu Feng's clothes.

"Yes." Niu Si hurriedly led the way. He only knew the name of the No. [-] Research Institute, and he didn't know the specific objects at all. It sounds like the name is related to the sky. Could it be Feitian?

Mina, An Li and Elisa followed Liu Feng and walked to the other side of the scientific research department, which was a few hundred meters away from the military workshop.

The valley of the scientific research department can be said to be completely divided into dozens of large and small areas. Liu Feng also ordered that after the beginning of spring tomorrow, the hills in the valley will be emptied to form a top-secret research institute.

Originally, Liu Feng planned to install part of the research institute in the confinement mountain range, but manpower and other aspects are still limited. Unless a hot air balloon is made, and it is a very stable hot air balloon, he can try to transport materials into the confinement mountain range.

The No. [-] Research Institute is also a courtyard, and most of the houses are wooden houses, which were built during the winter, after all, the cement is not used.

In fact, more than two-thirds of the houses in the scientific research department are all wooden houses, and there are still too few concrete houses. In one winter, there are many research institutes in the scientific research department, all of which are studying things by themselves.

Most of the literate, loyal, and quick-witted people in Xiyang City were secretly sent here as apprentices, teaching some simple physics and mathematics knowledge.

In fact, the personnel of the major research institutes of the scientific research department are transferred very frequently. For example, if you work in the military workshop today, you may be transferred to No. [-] research institute tomorrow, or you may be transferred to No. [-] research institute the day after tomorrow.

Of course, the main research leader will not be transferred, only some apprentices and odd jobs will be transferred.

After all, the accumulation of talents is still too little. Whichever research institute is urgent, the talents will be concentrated and transferred to that research institute. Only when there are more talents in the future, will the research institute be fixed.

Chapter 0405 air dominance.

Outside the No. [-] Research Institute, there were also more than a dozen Modao soldiers guarding it. In addition to the Modao soldiers, there were five or six soldiers with military crossbows, which showed how much Liu Feng attached importance to the No. [-] Research Institute.

"Shh!"

The approach of Liu Feng and others immediately aroused the vigilance of the guard soldiers, and they saluted and relaxed after seeing Liu Feng.

"Go in." Liu Feng led a few people into the No. [-] Research Institute, and saw many people busy.

"Master, I'll call the person in charge." Niu Si turned around and ran towards the inner courtyard.
