Chapter 590 Be prepared for danger in times of peace
"Why are you hospitalized?" Mrs. Yang asked curiously.
"Just stay in the hospital." Fu Shuangshuang explained.
Yang Fengxiu said in surprise: "Isn't it just like an inn? You can still stay in this medical center."
This place is really different from anywhere else.
Mrs. Yang took her son to live here. They lived directly in a single room. There was also a separate bathroom in the ward, a flush squat toilet, and a sink. All this was an eye-opener for the Yangs.
Seeing such a beautiful place, they were convinced that their son's disease would be cured here.
Dongfang Wenqing made arrangements for the Yangs and his wife, and hurried to Xiaobailou. He wanted to find Fu Manman for advice.
Although the place is comfortable and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, they have to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
He wanted to find the gang leader and ask her to make plans in advance.
When Dongfang Wenqing came to see Fu Manman, Fu Manman had just finished a meeting with everyone and came out to rest.
"Master Fu, I have something to tell you." Dongfang Wenqing stepped forward and said.
Fu Manman asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
"Gang Leader, thank you for taking our couple in. During these days in Heifeng Village, I also learned the writing here in the school and saw the advancement and civilization here. But as the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace. Heifeng Village is very good, but this place
It’s too small, and this solid wall alone cannot protect everything here.”
Fu Manman looked at Dongfang Wenqing with joy. He really didn't expect that he had already seen this realistic problem clearly in just a month or two here.
"Mr. Yi Dongfang, what do we do?" Fu Manman asked.
Dongfang Wenqing said solemnly: "We need to expand our territory, open up new territories, recruit soldiers, defend our country, and manage Heifeng Village from the inside out."
Fu Manman nodded. He was thinking of the right idea. He was indeed Tanhualang who was born in the national scientific examination.
"Mr. Dongfang is really far-sighted. Why don't you first write me a plan according to your own ideas, from the inside out. If it is well written, I will give you a big reward." Fu Manman said to Dongfang Wenqing.
It happens that the management of the new city in the future needs people. Let's see if Dongfang Wenqing can be used.
Dongfang Wenqing was very happy when he heard this. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Okay, I'll write it when I get back now."
"Write something practical, don't be too lazy." Fu Manman warned.
People in ancient times like to be verbose when writing articles, and they are afraid that they will have difficulty reading them when the time comes.
Dongfang Wenqing said clearly: "I will write it in vernacular so that the gang leader can understand it clearly."
"Yeah! Come on!" Fu Manman encouraged.
Dongfang Wenqing nodded happily and excitedly, "Yes, I will go back soon."
After finishing the work at the cottage for the time being, Fu Manman went to the steel factory to see how everyone was doing.
The steel factory and the glass factory are built together. One burns glass and the other makes steel.
During the day now, the boiler is not burning.
A group of masters are forging iron in the factory.
Before paying the full amount, I handed over the task and asked the workers to make guns.
There are many guns in her space, but if she wants to last long, she still has to learn to make her own guns.
Now that the Zhongli family has learned the art of making guns and produced flintlock guns, she cannot fall behind. If there is a fight in the future, she must be equipped with a more powerful weapon than the opponent.
Maybe the capital is also rushing to make weapons!
I went into the factory and took a look. She had given me the design drawings of the rifle before. Some high-precision guns cannot be produced with current technology, but ordinary rifles can still be produced with the current level of craftsmen.
This set of techniques is simple and easy, but it is very labor-intensive and requires the skills of the craftsmen. First, you have to use several pieces of wrought iron to beat them into sheets, heat the wrought iron sheets red, and put a round steel bar in the middle.
, repeatedly rotate and tap in a steel semicircular groove to knock the wrought iron sheet into the shape of a gun barrel, then use iron powder and borax to weld the gaps, and then tap repeatedly until the weld is firm.
After the barrel is roughly formed, the craftsmen put the barrel on a drilling tool to drill a hole, apply oil on the drill, and plan away the uneven parts inside the barrel bit by bit until a smooth hole is drilled inside the barrel.
Bore.
Fu Manman picked up a drilled barrel. It was very smooth inside. It would be even better if it could be rifled. If you want to shoot the bullet farther, you must have rifling. This can also avoid explosion.
Bore danger.
To draw rifling, you need to design a broaching machine, which is another mental and manual task.
I drew a design drawing for the craftsmen before, but I don’t know how it turned out.
At this moment, Yuan Qi and her people were in the workshop inside, assembling the broaching machine with the workers.
Seeing Fu Manman arriving, he came to report: "Gang leader, you came just in time. Our first broaching machine has been assembled and is just in time for testing. Come over and help us take a look."
"Okay, let's take a look at the effect. Let's use a broaching machine to rifling the inside of these barrels!" Fu Manman brought a barrel for them to test.
I saw a craftsman holding the gun barrel, fixing it on the broaching machine, and began to grind the rifling of the barrel. With the broaching machine, it is much easier to do such delicate work.
After a while, a rifled barrel was made.
Fu Manman picked it up and looked into the barrel of the gun. It was very good. Although it was a little rough, it was enough.
"You must swear not to leak these technologies, and you are not allowed to tell other people in the village what is happening here. Anyone who leaks the secrets will be killed without mercy." Fu Manman said to everyone.
Everyone said sincerely: "We will never reveal this secret."
"The good life we have now is given by the gang leader, and we will never leak the secret."
Everyone, please express your loyalty to me.
Fu Manman was also very satisfied with what the other party said, but he still told Yuan Qi to stay awake at all times, divide the work into each process, and ensure the confidentiality of each process.
Yuan Qi has learned a lesson since the previous incident and is now much more experienced. She has also trained several loyal and capable subordinates under her command.
"Don't worry, Gang Leader, these are kept confidential. I have kept all the documents and they will never be leaked." Yuan Qi patted her chest and said.
"There are too few craftsmen here. Recruit some apprentices from the school and let the masters take care of them. One master will take care of two apprentices. Then give the masters one tael of silver as wages. I will see the finished gun at the end of the month.
"Fu Manman said to Yuan Qi.
"Okay! Gang leader, I will definitely let you see the finished product at the end of the month." Yuan Qi affirmed.
Fu Manman is really looking forward to it. As long as the first gun can be produced, the second one can be produced.
Once they have the ability to produce their own guns, they can then produce artillery shells, tanks, and other weapons.
She wants to form an invincible and brave team to protect her new city.
