The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Yes." Li Xin nodded for confirmation.

"Too many. Choose again." Shang Wen said looking at the dark crowd.

"What?" Li Xin said in disbelief.

"Re-select." Shangwen emphasized again.

"Pilots are the best of the best. And, you need this. This." Shangwen said, pointing to his head.

"Immediately. Quickly. The number of people will be reduced by at least [-]%." Shangwen ordered immediately.

Li Xin looked at Shang Wen in disbelief.

"Go." Shangwen ordered immediately.

"Yes, sir." Li Xin agreed.

joke.Shangwen said dissatisfied in his heart.Pick people, you can pick hundreds of people.I don't even know how to teach it myself, Shangwen really dare not think about so many people popping up all at once.Shangwen originally planned to adopt small class education, with a maximum of 15 students in each class.This is the limit.This time only two classes will be enrolled at most.The rest of the people also study, but they all learn from the craftsmen, mainly how to make and work principles.etc.They are ground support personnel.The number can be many, but the technology must be excellent.If necessary, Naofumi felt that he could choose from the craftsmen who made the airship.because.Technology is a threshold.Either your learning ability is strong.Be able to quickly accept this knowledge, or, already have these technologies.All that's missing is how to convert it.

Thinking of this, some related supporting facilities have to keep up. No matter what, these pilots and ground crews have to go through skydiving training.Why do ground crews have to go through skydiving training.That's because, mechanic.Airplanes require a mechanic on the ground, or the pilot himself.But in the current situation, it must be done.The division of labor must be clear.

safety helmet.Shangwen immediately started to arrange.The entire helmet must be light and not too heavy, but the only ones that can be used at present are those bulky bronze helmets or iron helmets.Shangwen has a lot of Qin army equipment that is rarely issued with helmets.Naofumi picked up the iron helmet, it was too heavy.And it's very thick without any lining inside.This is bad.

Shangwen put it down and picked up another one.It's a leather helmet.Basically no protection.What skydiving does is jump out of the air.The impact is very large.This still doesn't work.

Shang Wen put down again.Pick up the iron helmet again.Only use this.Just a little too heavy.Moreover, it is entirely cast, not pressed.That's crap, these are old gear.

Shang Wen took the iron helmet and came to Chen Da's foundry workshop.Shangwen needs to make these helmets hollow.In this way, the weight of the helmet can be greatly reduced without losing the effect of the helmet to protect the head.After all this is done, what Shangwen still needs to do is the inner lining. Without a good inner lining, wearing these helmets is basically a waste of effort.

These can only find weaving women workers.The material Naofumi wanted at the beginning was leather.Because from the point of view of comfort effect, leather is the best.But the female worker proposed another solution, which is to use a mixed weaving method of leather and hemp.The advantage of this method is that it increases the wear resistance and toughness of the lining.Obviously, the latter is a very ideal solution.Shang Wen accepted.

than a helmet.The feet of skydiving training are more noteworthy. Shang Wen doesn't want to see a group of soldiers descending from the sky.All broke their legs.

Paratrooper boots, the paratrooper boots are made more exquisitely than ever this time.First of all, the stitching is very delicate, this is because of the sewing machine.The left and right feet are separated for more comfortable wearing.Unlike before, left and right feet are indistinguishable.This is a very significant improvement.Comfortable shoes are more acceptable to soldiers.

178 Messy military band

Naofumi looked back and forth at the paratrooper boots in his hands.Then I couldn't help taking off my shoes and trying them on.

In the paratrooper boots, due to the emphasis on the protection of the soles of the feet, a thick insole is specially made in the shoes.After wearing it on the feet, I feel very comfortable.

Shangwen tried to walk back and forth.feel good.

"Well, yes, very good. Can such boots be produced now?" Shang Wen asked.

"We've already made a triple-double." Ying'er stood up happily and said.

"Well, not bad." Shang Wen said.

"By the way, what happened to those fabrics?" Shang Wen then asked.

"The condition of the fabric is not ideal." Ying'er took over the topic and said.Yinger understands that Shangwen likes to listen to the truth, if he hesitates, it will make him unhappy.

"En. What's the specific situation?" Shang Wen then asked.

"The main reason is that the collected fabrics are different in size and thickness, and the composition of the fabrics used is also different. Some use a lot of wool. Some use very little, and they are almost all made of hemp." Yinger pointed out These questions come.

"Oh. So that's how it is." Shangwen understood the situation.

Shangwen can still understand such a situation. After all, this is not a mass production of machines, which can guarantee a large number of uniform production.These are all completed by tens of thousands of hands.This is the manual era, and has not yet entered the era of mass production by machines.Besides, the steam engine was only just being improved.It will take some time to be able to produce on a large scale. Even if there is, it cannot be allocated to the textile workshop immediately, because the first place to be provided is military production. In contrast, the manufacture of uniform guns is not so necessary.Moreover, there is no such need.

For the time being, Shangwen can only rely on this kind of manual workshop for production.

"Well, you go back and study the ingredients of a fabric. Then let them make it according to the ingredients. Specifications, you make according to the specifications you think. Try to keep it uniform." Shangwen arranged.

"En. Okay." Ying'er agreed.

"Let's talk about it when the steam engine is rich in the future." Shangwen said to himself.

"My lord, what are you talking about?" Ying'er asked in a low voice.

"Oh, it's nothing. It's nothing, you guys go ahead." Shangwen waved his hand and walked away.

Thinking of textiles, Shangwen believes that at this time, it is because the blueprints of some mechanical equipment are designed in advance.Although there is a steam engine, if it cannot be used well.It is still in vain to develop it.These devices are widely used.For example, in agriculture, the first tractor was made using a steam engine.There are also trains, ships, textile machines and so on.These all require power equipment.

Shangwen took out his notebook and quickly recorded.These things, I have to sketch at night, and at the same time arrange some people to go.Now that it has entered late autumn, except for making guns and cannons, almost all large-scale projects have been suspended.In the coming year, before winter comes, we cannot be idle and have nothing to do.Be prepared, as you would prepare for a train.Shang Wen still planned some things in advance.for example.Tracks of the tractor.

"My lord, I have already chosen the person." Li Xin said with his fists clasped.

"From now on, remember the change of the title, and you should call your superior the officer. Do you understand?" Shang Wen corrected.

"Here." Li Xin replied.

"Yes, sir. This should be the answer." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, sir." Li Xin said with a smile.

"We are a newly established military branch, and everything should be distinguished from those armies. Our army building philosophy is responsibility and competition." Shangwen said slowly.

"Responsibility, this is required by our technology. It is impossible for one person to fly an airship into the sky. He needs many people, standing on different positions, so as to ensure that the airship flies into the sky. Competition, we must maintain It is necessary to do this, only competition can promote our progress. Promote our new breakthroughs. We must not only compete within the military services, we must also compete between different military services. For example, those armies. And those muskets They are representatives of the new army in the future. We want to use them as opponents. But not enemies." Shang Wen emphasized.

"They are just our competitors, not our enemies, understand?" Shangwen turned around and emphasized again.

What Shangwen said is exactly the idea of ​​​​building the army of the US military.The word responsibility began to be repeatedly emphasized when Washington established the Army.Because most of the U.S. troops at that time came from the militia, they were used to being loose.So, responsibility.This is Washington's first thought after the establishment of the army.And it's repeated.This is also the idea that the US military has been implementing to the end.American soldiers can only be sloppy, but as long as they are on their posts, they will do their duty.This is their sense of responsibility.same.The same is also needed for the new military branch that has been newly established.The technical nature of the Air Force requires the assignment of many different jobs that require close cooperation.This requires these soldiers to have a sense of responsibility and stick to their posts.In this way, the aircraft can fly into the sky.

"Don't you understand?" Shang Wen said looking at Li Xin who was frowning.

"I don't quite understand." Li Xin said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, as long as we know that we have to do this in the future." Shangwen didn't plan to explain, because they couldn't accept such repeated explanations.The Qin army is different from the US military.There is a big difference in their personnel composition.This is a traditional army.What this tradition requires is not understanding.but execute.There are advantages and disadvantages.The disadvantage is that they lack the spirit of active thinking.Strict military discipline restricts their personal performance.It's not obvious what this now seems to need.But in the future, this disadvantage will be gradually revealed.The establishment of the Air Force requires this kind of individual performance.Naofumi is planning how to screen the remaining officers again.

"Dong dong." A big drum sounded.From time to time, there is also the sound of trombone and French horn. The sound is not bad, very close to the sound of modern instruments, but the sound is very noisy.

Li Xin pricked up his ears and listened carefully, as if he was about to discover something.Shangwen saw it.

"Come on, let's go and have a look together." Shang Wen took Li Xin to the place where the musicians were.

The closer you get, the noisier the sound.Although the tone of his voice was a little messy, Li Xin still thought the voice was very pleasant, because he had already started humming some tunes.Shang Wen thought it was very bad.Although it can be heard from the messy tunes that they are pondering some scores, the overall situation is still so bad.

179 Wang Jian's Army Returns

Judging from the messy tones, what these musicians are playing is that the score of "Victory Is Calling" is mainly composed of trombones and French horns, and a lot of drums are also used.But it is not the main thing, according to the current equipment of musical instruments.This piece is still relatively appropriate, but overall, it sounds really bad.

Li Xin looked at all this very strangely.Because those instruments sound very peppy.Even though it's out of tune, it still sounds good.Shangwen had a headache.

"My lord." A servant came running quickly.

"See Mr. Qin." The attendant saluted.
