Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

"Master, Mr. Mo and Miss Mo are here~! Oh, Master Yan is here too!"

Around Shenshi, Song Xiaosi led Mo Huai and Mo Lingwei to Li Zexuan’s office in the workshop. Amazingly, Mo Lingwei was still followed by Yan Shaoning. Li Zexuan was surprised by what he saw, and secretly said that Yan Shaoning had already fixed him. Is Lao Zhangren Mo Huai yet?

"Shanchang, I heard that you have something to tell us?"

Mo Huai arched his hands and said.

Li Zexuan hurriedly greeted: "Mr. Mo, Miss Mo, please sit down. I am looking for you to come this time because I intend to let our workshop start a new round of technological innovation. There are many aspects involved and we need your help! "

"Technological innovation? Then, Xiao...Why didn't you call me Shanchang?"

Yan Shaoning heard this, somewhat dissatisfied.

Li Zexuan said in a huff: "This didn't call you, didn't you come here too? I called Miss Mo, isn't it the same as calling you too?"

"Hey! What this says..."

Yan Shaoning couldn't help but laugh, but Mo Lingwei blushed, and bitterly twisted Yan Shaoning's arm.

"Ahem!"

How sharp are Mo Huai's eyes, how can he not notice the little movements of these two people? His old face went dark immediately, he coughed heavily, and said: "Shanchang, what needs our father and daughter to do? Just say it, Mo Mou must do his best!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Sit down first! Let's sit down and talk slowly!"

Several people Yiyan sat around a glass coffee table. Thanks to Li Zexuan's office being big enough, even if there were seven or eight people sitting there, it didn't seem crowded. After everyone sat down, Li Zexuan took out a few drawings, spread them out, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, at present we not only own dams, but we also own waterwheels. In addition to irrigating farmland, this waterwheel can also provide power for machines. In fact, I don’t need to say this. You should all understand. Next, we must first What I did was to build a hydraulic press. This is the drawing of the hydraulic press.

After the stamping machine is completed, the waterwheel needs to be transformed into a power equipment that can be docked with the stamping machine. This is nothing more than adding some crank connecting rods for transmission. After the transformation, the stamping machine can be docked with the waterwheel. Driven by a car, it can replace manpower to repeatedly forge steel, and its impact force is almost the same every time. For precision forging, the performance of this thing is by no means comparable to that of manpower! "

Mo Huai looked at the drawings carefully. After a while, he nodded and said, "Shanchang, there is no problem with the transformation of the stamping machine tool and the waterwheel. These two things are covered by the old man!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "I also have this intention. This Bahe Dam Mr. Mo has been involved from beginning to end. Now the hydraulic machine is hosted by you. That is the most appropriate! This matter, everyone in the workshop will I will do my best to assist you!"

"Thank you Shan Chang!"

Mo Huai arched his hands and said.

Li Zexuan smiled, and then said: "Brother Zhang, after the hydraulic stamping machine is ready, you will bring all the blacksmiths in the workshop to produce the plate armor I gave you. Such a plate armor requires at least five Thousand sets!"

At the beginning, Li Er talked to him and said that he wanted to expand the mysterious armor army from 3,000 to 5,000 people. After the expansion, the mysterious armor army will also need to update its ordnance equipment, and these ordnance equipment must be all made by Qiqu Supplied by the Pavilion Workshop, and must be made of vanadium steel!

"Five...five thousand sets? Hou Ye, did I hear you right?"

Zhang Hongsheng's body trembled and he almost fell off the chair. He opened his mouth wide and said in amazement.

The rest of the people in the office also looked at Li Zexuan in shock. Obviously everyone was shocked by the news that Li Zexuan was about to build five thousand sets of armor.

"Shanchang, what do you want to make so many armors for? In case someone finds out, then..."

After the shock, Mo Huai asked worriedly.

It is a capital crime to build weapons without authorization!

Li Zexuan said lightly: "Mr. Mo don't have to panic, this is a task entrusted by your majesty, not a violation of the law!"

Mo Huai felt a little relieved when he heard this.

Li Zexuan looked at Zhang Hongsheng again and said, "Brother Zhang, these five thousand sets of plate armor are not for you to make by yourself. You only need to teach other craftsmen how to forge!"

Zhang Hongsheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master Hou, I didn’t mean that. I’m just worried about the five thousand armors. The steel required is extremely amazing. The workshop is afraid it’s unbearable! Especially vanadium steel, which is so rare and used to Isn't it a waste to make armor?"

Li Zexuan couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Benhou now has iron ore, coal mines, and vanadium ore. Besides, the iron ore of the Changsun family can also support our workshop. Even if we build another 5,000 sets of plate armor, this Hou can also bear it!"

The Northern Turks are the real confidant of Datang. Li Zexuan is now considered to be a big family in the Tang Dynasty, and his family is also very happy. He is determined not to allow the Turks to destroy his current good life, as long as the Turks can be used. Fall, what does he pay for some steel?

Li Er’s strategy is undoubtedly extremely wise. In the vast prairie, infantry can play a very limited role. Only the cavalry with strong mobility can gallop on the grassland and achieve a surprising victory. The Xuanjia army is the trump card of the Datang cavalry. In the trump card, Li Zexuan wants these five thousand Xuanjia army to transform into five thousand Iron Man, in the nest of Turkic people, rampage and invincible!

At that time, the Xuanjia army in a new face will surprise everyone in the world!

Zhang Hongsheng understands the true background of the Qiqu Pavilion workshop now. He clasped his fist and said: "In that case, that Zhang will go all out and lead all the blacksmiths in the workshop to help Master Hou in the shortest time. Make five thousand sets of plate armor!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "It's so good! Before the hydraulic stamping machine is built, Brother Zhang can take a blacksmith to build five thousand horses, all of which must be made of vanadium steel! Build a batch of horseshoes!"

The weapon used by the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty is generally a horse 槊. This thing is longer than a sword. It is most convenient for a horse to stab people when charging. If it is made of vanadium steel, it will undoubtedly increase its sharpness. For those Turkic soldiers wearing simple leather armor, it is simply cutting melons and vegetables!

As for the horseshoes, after the big white horseshoe in his family was injured last year, he nailed the big white horseshoes, but it has not been promoted because of lack of iron at that time!

According to academic research, horseshoes first appeared in ancient Rome around the world, about the first century BC. This kind of horseshoe is either copper or iron, and its shape conforms to the lower part of a horse's hoof, but it is different when it is fixed. In addition to using short nails, it also needs to be tied with leather, which is a bit similar to the "Roman shoes" worn by ancient Roman soldiers, so it is also called "horse sandals".

Among the murals of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, China, there is a picture of the "nailed horseshoe" on the wall of Cave 302 built in the 4th year of Emperor Kaihuang in Sui Dynasty (584 AD). From the picture, a horse is standing, tethered to a tree, and a person stands behind, holding the right hind limb of the horse, turning the hoof upwards. The hoof is painted with an oval hoof like a palm ready to be placed.

Therefore, some people speculate that China had horseshoes in the Sui Dynasty, but this claim has been lacking archaeological evidence to support it, and according to the Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Rushi’s book "Zhufanzhi" recorded that the horses of the Great Food Kingdom "use iron for "Shoes" are very novel, which shows that horseshoes were not very popular in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Indeed, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, horseshoes have not been found in the Central Plains. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that horseshoes began to be used on a large scale! As for why there is a Sui Dynasty "nailed horseshoe" in the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, only God knows!

"Horseshoes? What is this?"

Zhang Hongsheng couldn't help but wondered.

Li Zexuan pulled out a drawing and explained: "It is shoes for horses to prevent horseshoes from cracking due to long-term wear and tear, which can greatly reduce flattering wear! The appearance is like this. If you don’t understand, you will look at it later. Look at the big white horse in Benhou's house. The horseshoes on its four hooves have been installed for almost a year!"

Zhang Hongsheng reacted and said happily: "Put shoes on the horse? Hou Ye, this is a good way! Zhang did not know how many horses were crippled by cracked feet before. With this horseshoe, it can be well prevented. The horse's hoof is strained!"

Everyone was amazed, and Yan Shaoning couldn't help saying:

"Tsk tusk! Didn't I notice that your big white wears shoes before?"

Li Zexuan rolled his eyes, and said in a bad mood: "That's your blindness~!"

"Pump!"

Mo Lingwei couldn't help laughing, but seeing Mo Huai's expression stern, she quickly stopped smiling.

"Oh! That's right! In addition to the horseshoes, you can make another batch of horse armors at that time. You don't need to be too thick, just to withstand ordinary swords!"

Li Zexuan looked at Zhang Hongsheng and said again.

Regarding horse armor, leather vests had appeared during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, full-scale horse armors began to appear. This thing does not need to be given drawings at all. Li Zexuan believes that Zhang Hongsheng's knowledge can definitely be made.

Hearing that, everyone couldn't help taking a breath, vanadium steel armor, vanadium steel horses, horseshoes, and horse armors. Is Li Zexuan planning to build a super steel cavalry armed to the teeth?

They believe that such a terrifying cavalry, even if it is encountered by the Turkic cavalry, will feel a headache, because this is an invincible cavalry that has achieved the ultimate in attack and defense!

"Gudong!"

No matter how stupid Zhang Hongsheng is, he understands that Li Zexuan is going to play a big ticket. He swallowed and responded with difficulty: "Yes! Lord Hou!"

Li Zexuan nodded, he took out the Wind-Chasing Sword, handed it to Zhang Hongsheng, and said, "Okay, there will be nothing to confess to you next. Take this Wind-Chasing Sword first!"

Zhang Hongsheng looked surprised. Now he didn't dare to pick it up with one hand. Instead, he took it with both hands "vigorously", then bowed towards Li Zexuan and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your trust! Three days later, Zhang will follow this. After Feng Jian returned to Zhao, Zhang went down here!"

"Ok!"

Li Zexuan nodded and gave a hmm.

In other words, he is not worried about Zhang Hongsheng running away with his sword. After all, Zhang Yajiu's reputation is in charge there. If he can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple, right?

"Mr. Wang, Miss Mo, although the generator of the hydropower station can operate normally, the copper core used in the coil is not pure copper, which will greatly affect the power generation efficiency of the generator, so I plan to make the second generation. Generator, use high-purity copper core, upgrade the existing generator!"

After Zhang Hongsheng left, Li Zexuan looked at Wang Ji and Mo Lingwei and said.

"High-purity copper core? Shan Chang, there are inevitably impurities in this copper. How do we purify it?"

Wang Ji frowned and asked.

Mo Lingwei also turned his attention to Li Zexuan. Although she is good at physics, she is definitely not weak in chemistry. After all, smart people learn everything fast. She has read the "Chemistry" textbook of the academy more than once!

Li Zexuan replied in a deep voice: "Electrolytic refining! Now that we have electricity, we will use electrolytic refining to remove impurities in the blister copper and obtain high-purity brass! The specific steps are also very simple. For the anode, sulfuric acid and bile alum aqueous solution are used as the electrolyte. When the electricity is applied, the copper on the anode is dissolved and enters the solution, and the copper in the solution is precipitated on the cathode.

In this process, in addition to copper, there will be impurities such as iron and zinc in the blister copper hanging on the anode. Because the metal activity of iron and zinc is stronger than that of copper, it can replace the copper in the electrolyte and precipitate copper on the cathode; When the activity of the metal is lower than that of copper~www.readwn.com~, it cannot dissolve and form anode slime. In this way, the metal copper precipitated on the cathode has a high purity. "

"That's it! The old man understands!"

Wang Ji pondered for a moment, then nodded and smiled.

Li Zexuan let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! An electrolysis workshop needs to be opened as soon as possible in the workshop, dedicated to refining copper!"

"Yes! The mountain is long!"

Wang Ji replied.

Li Zexuan looked at Mo Lingwei at this time and said, "Miss Mo, in addition to upgrading the generator, I also want you to help me build a kind of electric motor!"

"Motor? What is an electric motor?"

Mo Lingwei questioned.

Li Zexuan took out a thick stack of drawings and said: "The generator uses the principle of magnetism, while this motor uses the principle of magnetism. The general process is that the energized coil will generate a rotating magnetic field and act on the rotor. , Forming the magnetoelectric power rotating torque, which will keep rotating! The detailed details are clearly drawn in these drawings. If Miss Mo has any doubts, you can always ask me."

Mo Lingwei said with joy: "Okay! The long mountain!"

"Hey! Shan Chang, Wei Er is just a daughter's home, you let her do so many things alone, do you have the heart?"

Yan Shaoning on the side couldn't help but vomit.

Mo Lingwei glared at Yan Shaoning and said, "Humph! This is my voluntary. You can't blame the mountain leader!"

Li Zexuan couldn't help smiling and said: "Haha! Shaoning! If you can't bear it, you can help Girl Mo! You two are now colleagues, and you should help each other!"

After all, he glanced at Mo Huai calmly, the latter's face was sullen, and there was no happiness or anger at all. Li Zexuan couldn't help but murmured: Has Yan Shaoning managed to get Mo Huai?
