Da Song: The opening game killed Ximen Qing

Liangshan Houshan, Ordnance Manufacturing Superintendent.

This is the armament manufacturing center of Liangshan, where thousands of craftsmen and many helpers work.

The clanging sound of knocking kept coming.

“Grand Commander!” Wang Ze, who was appointed by Wu Song as the director of the ordnance manufacturing superintendent, led Wusong to visit the entire ordnance manufacturing superintendent.

“Elder Wang, how much output can be reached now?” Wu Song asked.

Wang Zeben was a skilled craftsman in the daimyofu craftsmanship, but he was imprisoned for offending people. Later, he was rescued by the people of the Liangshan rebels and was willing to serve Liangshan.

Wu Song also has great respect for Wang Ze and respects him a lot.

This respect made Wang Ze very moved, and he tried his best to serve Liangshan.

“Grand Commander, we quoted the unified standard of Grand Commander, and after the assembly line production, the output was greatly increased. Now, every day, he can make twenty sets of foot armor, fifty crossbows, five thousand arrows, and one hundred waist knives! Wang Ze introduced.

Wu Song nodded: “Elder Wang, it’s best to find a way to double the output again!” Even if you don’t need it now, you can store it there first. At that time, when the Liangshan rebel army expands on a large scale, it will be able to come in handy. ”

“Grand Commander, if you want to further expand production, you have to increase manpower. In addition, the consumption of iron is very large, and if it cannot be guaranteed, there is no way to expand production. Wang Ze was also a little helpless.

It’s hard for a woman to cook without rice!

“I know, Elder Wang, in terms of steel, I will find a way to collect it!” Wu Song replied.

According to later analysis, the annual steel output of the Northern Song Dynasty was as much as 150,000 tons.

In later generations, this may not be much at all.

But in ancient times, it was already extremely remarkable.

You know, even the British Empire, which has dominated the world for hundreds of years, at the beginning of the industrial revolution, the output of steel was only 76,000 tons, which was only half of the Northern Song Dynasty. That’s more than 500 years later.

In this era, it was already very difficult for the Northern Song Dynasty to be able to smelt so much steel.

Not only because the military consumes a lot of steel, but the civilian population also consumes a lot of steel.

In terms of production technology at this time, an iron pot weighed as much as thirty pounds, and the weight of a quyuan plow was as high as sixty pounds.

It can be seen that every household owns a large number of iron products.

It was not difficult for the Liangshan rebels to get steel.

“Elder Wang, this is something I designed, please see if you can make it!” Wu Song handed a design sketch to Wang Ze.

Wang Ze knew that this great commander always had a lot of whimsy.

When you open it, you can see a huge cylindrical tube drawn on it, and there are wheels underneath.

“Elder Wang, I call this thing artillery. Fill the gunpowder inside the barrel, then ignite the gunpowder, and use the huge force generated by the burning of gunpowder to push the shell out of the chamber. Wu Song explained for Wang Ze.

“This… What a wonderful idea! Wang Ze was already stunned.

“However, Grand Commander. Gunpowder Old Immortal knew that if the shell was to be pushed out quickly, the distance must be far, I am afraid that a large amount of gunpowder would need to be filled! Wang Ze frowned.

Although the Song Dynasty had begun to make gunpowder in large quantities, because of the formula, gunpowder was not very powerful.

“Elder Wang, I have a recipe for gunpowder here. The power is much more powerful than the gunpowder used today. At the same time, because it burns more slowly, it is not easy to blow up! Wu Song gave a recipe for maroon gunpowder.

Compared to black powder, maroon powder is a little more troublesome to make. However, it is very suitable for the propellant of large artillery and is not easy to explode. It was not invented by Europeans until the nineteenth century.

However, it was only used for a few decades before it was replaced by smokeless gunpowder and picric acid gunpowder.

But it’s the early twelfth century!

If Wu Song made maroon gunpowder, it would be enough to use it for hundreds of years!

After all, with the current scientific and technological strength, if you want to invent smokeless gunpowder or picric acid gunpowder, it is almost impossible.

“Don’t worry, the old immortal knows, this formula, the old immortal will definitely keep it secret!” Wang Ze’s face was positive. He knew the importance of this gunpowder formula.

Wu Song nodded: “If you cast artillery, copper is the best.” Copper is more malleable and not easy to blow up. Steel is not good, it is too brittle, it is easy to blow up, causing accidental injury. ”

After all, in this era, there is no electroslag remelting technology and artillery barrel self-tightening technology.

In later generations, the Krupp factory produced qualified gun steel, also in the late nineteenth century, more than seven hundred years from now!

Wang Ze nodded, although he didn’t understand some of Wu Song’s words, the general meaning was still understandable.
