Chapter 182 Encounter Kong Ming in the workshop

At noon on December 7, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao invited Su Buqing and Wei Qubing, two heroes of the Imperial Guard, to have lunch together. By the way, he told these two heroes that when the Imperial Guard dispatched the royal guard to Liusu Principality and brought back the current

After joining the Royal Guards of Prince Liusu, the Royal Guards will be given actual combat tasks.

Su Buqing and Wei Qubing were immediately attracted by the actual combat mission and agreed to Qu Mao without hesitation.

The current Lord's Lodge Guards, especially the 80,000 recruits recruited by Qu Maoxin who provided recruitment coupons, have basically never experienced actual combat. The original fourth-level guards and fifth-level palace guards were mostly responsible for guard duties.

At work, I basically never saw any fighting.

Qu Mao believed that as the territory of Yicheng captured more and more independent territories on the main continent, the risk of the royal guards taking on the security work increased greatly. Qu Mao believed that the royal guards who had never seen blood were unreliable.

As for what kind of actual battle to arrange, Qu Mao has already planned in his mind. Now the main force of the army and the main force of the garrison are fighting on the main continent. Apart from the Lord's Lodge Guards, there are no decent high-ranking officers in the Holy Land of Yicheng Territory.

Since the first-level warrior unit has chosen to upgrade the lord's hut and territory, the folding space and wild resource mines that appear after the upgrade will naturally be handed over to the Guards to attack, which can also be regarded as providing opportunities for actual combat for the Guards.

Then Qu Mao did not stay in the lord's cabin to rest. Although he went to Wucheng for more than a week and the road back was bumpy for nearly a day and night, Qu Mao actually felt a little tired.

However, after nearly 26 million cheating points were wiped out on November 27th, the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao’s cheating system initially only had 500,000 cheating points left in it. In the past few days, the cheating points have continued to increase.

The price continued to rise, and before we knew it, it was approaching 1 million points again.

Qu Mao knew that this must be because the process improvements made in the Nanfang Sandao factory before going to Wucheng had been applied to product production by various factories, which resulted in such cheating value acquisition results.

After going to the ice with Su Buqing and Wei for lunch, Qu Mao found a war horse, selected 20 fifth-level palace guards, and headed to Qian Island from the purple light path in the underground world.

Now that various factories have begun to apply improved processes, Qu Mao naturally needs to go and take a look. If he accidentally copies a few more tasks, wouldn't the cheating points be accumulated faster?

I walked around several factories in Qiandao and briefly asked the person in charge of each factory how easy it was to apply the improved technology, and encouraged the relevant technicians in each factory to boldly improve their own technology. I couldn't find any place where I could continue to copy the work, so I just asked them.

After Mao left Qiandao, he immediately continued to Hakushima without stopping.

In a porcelain-firing handicraft workshop on Bodao, Qu Mao unexpectedly saw Kong Ming, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Kong Ming, you didn't go back to the Island Power Research Institute, but you are here on Bodao. What attracts you to Bodao?"

Got you?"

When Kong Ming saw that it was Qu Mao who was greeting him, he stopped what he was doing, picked up the goose feather fan, shook it a few times, and said with a smile: "Sir, my subordinates will return to the Holy Land immediately after holding a swearing-in ceremony for the troops in Wucheng.

, after arranging the work tasks at the Island Power Research Institute, he came to the three southern islands to visit the process improvements carried out by the adults.

I went back to an outlying island on the way, and came here again the day before yesterday. Inspired by your improvement in craftsmanship, my subordinates are now working on a process improvement here. To put it bluntly, I have to thank you for your magical improvement, which has given this subordinate

There are endless ideas.

Sir, please come and take a look at the improvement experiments that my subordinates are currently doing, and give me some pointers by the way."

Qu Mao smiled and said, "Actually, they are all small improvements, really nothing." He came to the place where Kong Ming was squatting at the beginning, and several technicians from the porcelain firing handicraft workshop were huddled together.

Kong Ming smiled and said: "Sir, there is no need to be too modest.

For example, movable type printing seems to be a very simple improvement, but no one has thought of it before. After you proposed it, everyone seems to understand the principle immediately.

Nowadays, a printing factory can basically complete most of the printing tasks by engraving more than 3,000 commonly used characters with 50 or 100 characters each. Occasionally, if rare characters appear, it is not troublesome to temporarily find a craftsman to carve them out.

Nowadays, in printing plants that use movable type printing technology, the plate technicians are almost unemployed, and they are replaced by the position of typesetting technician."

Qu Mao laughed and said: "How can a printing factory only have 3,000 commonly used characters..." When he said this, Qu Mao had already joined a few technicians.

Suddenly Qu Mao stopped what he was talking about, pointed at the equipment surrounded by several technicians, and said, "Holy crap! Kong Ming, why does this thing look so much like the wooden mold I designed for the porcelain factory?"

Then Qu Mao shook his head again and said: "No, there are some similarities but some are not alike. What are you gathering here to do?"

Kong Ming inserted the goose feather fan into his belt, squatted down and said, "Sir, this is my subordinate who is preparing to improve the wooden mold you provided.

Most of the porcelain bowls, bottles, jars, etc. are round. It is not easy to use the wooden mold you provided to handle the shape. The wooden mold you provided is more suitable for making rectangular porcelain, but the round one is a bit awkward.

There's a solution.

With reference to your wooden molds and lathe technology, my subordinates are discussing with the technicians whether there is a way to batch or quickly produce round porcelain clay blanks."

An idea flashed in Qu Mao's mind, and the scene from another world appeared in his mind again, and then he said to Kong Ming: "Come on, Kong Ming, I have some ideas.

Relying on your semi-finished device, you first turn the crankshaft to provide power, and I will install several sets of devices similar to turning tools."

Kong Ming suddenly became excited and immediately cranked the crankshaft himself, even if the goose feather fan fell to the ground.

What Qu Mao did was very simple. Kong Ming imitated the operating principle of a lathe to shape the porcelain clay. The hardness of the clay was much easier than that of wood.

Even though there was no metal turning tool, Qu Mao just found four pieces of wood as a signal, placed two sets of wood pieces on the lathe where the turning tool was originally placed, and then ordered two technicians to stuff a large lump of mud into the work area.

After Kong Ming's crankshaft was connected to the transmission belt, it immediately brought the wood pieces that served as turning tools to rotate around the mud. Qu Mao adjusted the distance between the two sets of turning tools and instantly pulled out two sections with different thicknesses, but the mud

The block is still a whole, but the thickness of different areas is different.

Seeing this result, Kong Ming's eyes straightened.

Qu Mao smiled and said: "Kong Ming, you see, if I push this clay block to different positions, cylinders of different specifications and thicknesses can be formed. If it is more complicated, you can add a turning tool or adjust the turning tool."

distance."

Kong Ming nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, his eyes filled with inexplicable excitement.

Qu Mao shook his head again and said: "This is still very inconvenient. You can consider whether the rotation can be transmitted to a vertical axis. The vertical axis can be made to look like the internal space of the porcelain, and then the mud clay can be put on the lake.

Turn the handle, and the vertical shaft drives the mud blank to rotate, and the turning tool is fixed on the outside. Or you may not need the turning tool at all and use manual hand-held wood chips to shape it.

In this way, both the internal and external shaping of the porcelain can be completed at one time...

Of course, if it is the kind of porcelain with a big belly and a small mouth, I am afraid that it will have to be shaped twice, and then the two pieces of clay will be joined together manually. Although it is a bit more troublesome, the shape will definitely be more rounded, and it will not be like the current porcelain handmade workshops.

Product quality and specifications vary..."

Kong Ming is indeed gifted in this area. As soon as Qu Mao finished speaking, Kong Ming immediately said: "Vertical axis? Oh my God, it's so creative. The power is transmitted to the vertical axis and drives the vertical axis to rotate. The problem is not big and can be solved easily.

Shaping small wood pieces? Oh my god, you can't just make it into any shape you want... No, the small wood pieces are not fixed, and the quality and beauty of the product depend on the skill of the maker.

The small wood pieces used as turning tools should still be fixed. It is best for the operator to only wrap the mud blank on the vertical shaft, rotate the transmission shaft and remove the finished mud blank..."

Qu Mao and Kong Ming are worthy of being scientific research partners who have collaborated for a long time. The two expressly started experimenting in the porcelain handicraft workshop on Bodao. Fortunately, wooden turning tools can be made easily.

In less than two hours, Qu Mao and Kong Ming looked at the open cup clay mold made by a hand-cranked clay molding machine. They were overjoyed. Several technicians who followed Qu Mao and Kong Ming in the experiment were also full of praise.

A technician said: "Sir Kong Ming, some time ago I heard from my colleagues in Qiandao that we are the top technicians. I think it is a bit exaggerated. You have so many things to do, how can you have time to study technology.

I saw your lord’s miraculous skills with my own eyes today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation!”

Kong Ming did not respond to the technician, but said to Qu Mao: "Sir, it is not very stable now, and it is difficult to control the speed of the hand crank. The mud is often thrown off the vertical shaft, but I think it is definitely feasible with a little improvement."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "The internal space of the porcelain container will definitely not be as small as the experiment we are doing now, so the shape of the vertical shaft should also be changed, such as making it into a fusiform or a round belly, but the solution

The problem of preventing the clay from being thrown off probably depends on controlling the speed of the hand crank and the degree of adhesion of the clay itself."

Kong Ming said: "Yes, sir, these are the directions for improvement. We will continue to experiment..."

But Qu Mao pulled Kong Ming's sleeve and said: "Kong Ming, just give me the idea and let these clay craftsmen try it on their own. How can we two have the time to spend time here making this irregular clay clay?"

Are the facilities ready?

It’s better to go to other factories and come up with some new ideas for improvement.”

The reason why Qu Mao disagrees with Kong Ming continuing to spend time improving is because the cheating system has been determined to be successful and rewarded with cheating points. No matter who improves it in the future, Qu Mao will get a share of the cheating points, so there is no need to continue spending time here.
