Uncle Fu, who has been a craftsman all his life, knows better than anyone how important the machine tool described by Li Zexuan is. It is not an exaggeration to call it the "mother of industry" because with this thing, Machines that can quickly produce standard parts of uniform sizes and other industrial products are veritable industrial mother machines!
In addition, Uncle Fu's concerns are very realistic. After all, not long ago, Yanhuang Academy, which was guarded by many masters, was attacked by Turkic Imperial Guards, and many confidential information was stolen. He is just an old man in his dying years, how can he do anything for Li Zexuan? Guarding such a huge secret~
But for Li Zexuan, Uncle Fu is the person who has been with him for the longest time, and his loyalty is definitely higher than anyone else. That's why he handed over the machine tool drawings to Uncle Fu, but before that, the Turkic National Master After stealing the academy information, he had to pay attention to security issues!
"Uncle Fu, you are a highly respected person, and you are the most worthy person to entrust these drawings to. But what you just said makes sense. After all, these drawings are of great importance, and it is inevitable that there will be people who will covet them, and they will also bring danger to you. , then I really have no choice but to die~!"
After pondering for a moment, Li Zexuan looked at Uncle Fu and said solemnly: "So, for the sake of safety, it is better to store these drawings in the confidential archives of the academy. If you need to check them, Uncle Fu, you can go directly to the archives of the academy. If necessary, some of the drawings can also be printed for production needs!"
After the previous incident of the Turkic Imperial Master stealing the academy's information, not only Li Er paid more attention to the security of the academy, but the academy itself also did a lot of work in this aspect. The first is to expand the recruitment of more than 500 guards, which is being carried out in an orderly manner. The other is the construction of the mountain guard formation, which is gradually carried out under the leadership of Mo Huai!
When everything is ready, Yanhuang Academy will be the safest place in Lantian County. I believe that even if the Turkic Imperial Master comes again later, he will not get any benefits!
Hearing this, Uncle Fu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes! Master's arrangement is probably the best!"
Li Zexuan rerolled the drawings on the table, and then he continued: "Uncle Fu, these machine tools require extremely high precision and are not easy to produce. I'm afraid it takes a lot of energy! It just so happens that Hongsheng has already After all the armor and equipment are built, the workshop must gather all the top craftsmen to produce machine tools. We don’t seek the fastest speed, but only the best craftsmanship and the highest quality!”
As a modern person, Li Zexuan understands better than anyone how difficult it is to produce machine tools. When New China was first founded, the industrial base was extremely backward and there was an urgent need for various machine tools. However, at that time, faced with the technological blockade of European and American powers, New China China can only buy finished machine tools, but not the technology to manufacture them. In order to achieve independent production of machine tools, countless scientists worked day and night and worked hard for several years before finally building a machine tool!
Datang's current industrial base is undoubtedly weaker than when New China was first founded. It is even more difficult to manufacture machine tools. Even with his "prophet" to guide the direction, there will be many difficulties in actually doing it. , one of the screws would probably take a skilled craftsman several days to polish!
First of all, the problem of power source needs to be solved. Since the power used by machine tools comes from steam engines, the research and development of steam engines and machine tools must be carried out simultaneously. Fortunately, because steam engines are also needed in thermal power stations, so as early as a few days ago, the workshop The steam engine was already being manufactured according to the drawings provided by Li Zexuan;
Secondly, to ensure that machine tools can achieve higher precision, it is necessary to unify measurement standards and produce more precise measurement tools. Before Li Zexuan went north, he launched the second and third trump projects of the academy, of which the third The main purpose of the trump card project is to form a measurement standards committee to formulate measurement units and measurement standards for some new physical quantities, and to produce precise measurement instruments for them. Now that machine tool manufacturing is imminent, it can just accelerate the academy’s third trump card project. !
Finally, there is the issue of materials. All kinds of cutting tools on machine tools are made of special alloys, with many rare metal elements added to them. For example, many turning tools on lathes use a type of alloy with more Tool steel containing tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, vanadium and other alloy elements, with high hardness, high wear resistance and high heat resistance, also known as high-speed tool steel or sharp steel, commonly known as white steel, this steel has high hardness and is very It is suitable for making knives, so if you want to build a machine tool, it is very important to find these rare metal ores.
After listening to what Li Zexuan said, Uncle Fu solemnly raised his hands and said: "I understand, I will order everyone in the workshop to go all out to build a machine tool for the young master!"
"Um!"
Li Zexuan nodded and continued to explain: "Building machine tools is a huge project. It cannot be completed in a day, nor can it be completed by the workshop alone. Yanhuang Academy will also provide full assistance! Qingque explained the work before The steam engine produced by the workshop needs to be stepped up production and testing. In addition, the academy’s third trump card project is to make more precise measuring tools. This can provide great help for the construction of machine tools! The academy and workshop As we are connected by the same spirit, we should play a complementary role at this time. I will tell Mr. Mo to let him and the teachers and students of the academy fully cooperate with you!"
Uncle Fu's face moved slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "This will make me more confident!"
After all, Mo Huai is a giant of the Mohist family. For his achievements in engineering manufacturing, even if Fu Bo is a supervisor, he feels inferior to him. Fu Bo believes that with the participation of Mo Huai and the Mohist elite, the success of machine tool manufacturing can be achieved. The probability will be greatly improved!
At this time, Li Zexuan took out a blueprint from his arms, spread it out on the table, and said solemnly: "In addition to these, Uncle Fu, you need to send someone to help me find these metal veins. I call them tungsten mines." , molybdenum ore and chromium ore... I have marked the approximate location of these ore veins on the map, and I have also written the appearance and texture characteristics of these ores on the back of the drawing.
The workshop immediately sent several groups of people to look for the corresponding mineral veins. Oh, by the way, if Xiao Bin is not busy now, let him lead a team of people to search for tungsten mines. This kid has a wide network of connections. You have a flexible mind and are good at prospecting, and you should focus on cultivating them! "
Hearing Li Zexuan praise Fu Bin so much, Uncle Fu's face was suddenly filled with smiles. He quickly raised his hands and said, "Young master, if that brat doesn't cause trouble for me, I'll burn the incense! Haha! I'll write to you soon." Let Xiao Bin prepare to set off to search for tungsten ore, and in addition, we will select some people from the blacksmiths in the workshop to search for other mineral veins!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said with a smile: "Well! With such a multi-pronged approach, we should be able to build a machine tool in the shortest time! Uncle Fu, just leave these things to the people below. Don't do everything yourself. You You have to take care of your health!"
At the end of the conversation, Li Zexuan was a little worried about Uncle Fu's health, so he explained a little more.
"Haha! Don't worry, young master. I'm just talking. I'm not tired! I'm not tired!"
Fu Bo waved his hands repeatedly.
Seeing that everything had been settled, Li Zexuan said goodbye to Uncle Fu, left the workshop, and headed towards Yunshan.
