Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 218 Gunpowder Factory

The Zhou family brothers were measuring the appropriate size of the rail fittings in the small processing workshop of Hanyao Steel Plant, when they saw one of their stewards running in panting, telling them that their boss had come to the ironworks factory.

The two also ignored the measuring tape in their hands, and rushed towards the workshop of the ironware factory. As soon as they arrived, they heard Chu Keqiu who was beside Zhu Chuanwen ask, "Master, how many people can I take?"

"Who is this?"

"What are you here for?"

Such questions lingered in the minds of the Zhou brothers.

Zhu Chuanwen also saw the Zhou family brothers, and greeted them warmly: "Zhou Fu, Zhou Gui, this is Chu Keqiu!"

"Boss, who is this Mr. Chu?" Seeing this gentleman, Zhou Gui called him Mr. according to the custom of Bingcheng.

"I invited a great talent for you two. Have you seen these machines in front of you? This Mr. Chu is a master who can imitate!" Zhu Chuanwen introduced to the two of them.

"What!" The eyes of the two of them stared like a copper bell. They never imagined that there are such capable people in the Qing Dynasty. This is a foreigner's machine tool. Looking at Chu Keqiu again, it is a bit strange. It means to dilute the treasure.

Zhu Chuanwen planned to wait for the ironware factory to deliver 3 sets of agricultural tools, and then the profit money would be invested in the ironware factory to continue to purchase flat beds and machine tools. Only then can it be leveraged to turn upwards. Unexpectedly, the money did not arrive, and a capable person who could imitate came.

The boss will not lie to them, so this Chu Keqiu is not a human being in the eyes of the Zhou family brothers, this is a machine tool that can walk!
"Boss, I didn't dare to guarantee everything." At this time, Chu Keqiu became humble, and it was okay to show his sharpness in front of Zhu Chuanwen, but these two people in front of him might be colleagues in the future. People hurt themselves.

"Old Chu, you don't have to be so polite. These two people still have the right to decide how many people you can bring with you in the future." Zhu Chuanwen said to Chu Keqiu, seeing how Chu Keqiu suddenly became mellow, he knew , It must be because of talent, in Hanyang, he must have suffered a lot, and now people start to hide themselves, not to be envied is a mediocrity.

"Mr. Chu, as long as you can imitate these machine tools, there is no problem for my brothers to help you." Zhou Fu was the first to express his opinion.

"Yes, Mr. Chu, as long as you can imitate these machine tools, there is no problem for us brothers to help you." Zhou Gui also expressed his opinion immediately.

This iron factory can be regarded as the most important part of Zhu Chuanwen's layout. In the future construction, it will continue to transition to a machine factory.

And during this time, Zhu Chuanwen also discovered that the Zhou brothers were good at management, probably because they were born in a poor family. The most stupid solution.

The arrival of Chu Keqiu just made up for this defect, so in the future this ironware factory will have three shopkeepers.

"Old Chu, look, the two shopkeepers have said they can help you, so what are you worried about?" Zhu Chuanwen only revealed the identity of the Zhou family brothers at this time.

"Ah, two shopkeepers Zhou!" Chu Keqiu only realized at this time that these two people might still be his superiors.

"Mr. Chu is a great talent, we are not as good as we are, dare not be, dare not be!" Zhou brothers also hurriedly evaded.

"Okay, don't be too polite. From now on, the Zhou brothers of the ironware factory will still be the shopkeepers, but Lao Chu is also the shopkeeper, but the technology shopkeeper. You can discuss everything. The imitation of this machine tool will start from the simplest. When the machine tools are enough, we will start to manufacture our own steam engines!" Zhu Chuanwen really couldn't see the politeness of the few people coming and going, so he left Chu Keqiu and walked out of the city with Mao Guangting.

An open space on the edge of the Songhua River away from buildings. From here, you can see the chimneys of the Hanyao Flour Mill emitting black smoke.

Mao Guangting didn't know why Zhu Chuanwen brought him here at this time, but seeing Chu Keqiu who came here with him and was immediately promoted to the technical shopkeeper, his heart was beating non-stop.

"Guangting, what do you think of this place?" Zhu Chuanwen said.

"It's quite flat." Mao Guangting really didn't know how to praise this piece of land without hair, so he could only find the only advantage.

These words made Qu Zheng's dry smile back and forth.

"It's quite flat, look, how about building a laboratory and a gunpowder factory?" Zhu Chuanwen said with a smile.

"Laboratory? Gunpowder factory?" Mao Guangting stared at the boss. Although he had seen the two tasks Zhu Chuanwen gave him on the paper just now, he couldn't help being a little surprised now. The new owner's hand is really big. Mao Guangting, who thought it would be the same as before, would be satisfied with a slightly larger workshop, at this moment, for some reason, a sentence popped up in his heart: A scholar dies for his confidant!

"Guangting, researching gunpowder is a dangerous job, so in fact, if you want to change the research direction, I agree, because I know that for you, gunpowder for bullets and shells is an imitation job. It's not difficult." Zhu Chuanwen said to Mao Guangting, he said this sincerely, the chemical enlightenment in the Qing Dynasty was not too late to be honest, the periodic table of elements was translated by Mao Guangting's teacher, and many elements are still written today Continue to use, such a talent Zhu Chuanwen is really unwilling to join this industry, the Nobel who died in 1896 is a lesson from the past.

"Boss, I really know that you cherish your talents, but we have been bullied by foreigners for so many years. I think it is because we don't have the world's top gunpowder in our hands. They said they opened our guns with iron ship cannons. The country, but to be honest, the basis of this use is gunpowder, but when it comes to the use of gunpowder, we are their ancestors." Mao Guangting said with a feeling at this time.

These words were buried in his heart long ago. What he longed for was the power of gunpowder explosion, no, what he longed for was to make the country more powerful.

In Hanyang Coal Mine, Mao Guangting, a former gunpowder researcher, was constantly distributing gunpowder for mine use. At that time, he couldn't help but feel thankful for himself for making the right decision, and also thankful for finally having a place to do research.

"Yes, we are their ancestors, and gunpowder is our invention." Zhu Chuanwen stopped persuading Mao Guangting when he heard these words. He knew that since he said these words, he was expressing his determination to his boss. He opened his mouth, "But Guang Ting, please remember that after the gunpowder in the bullet and the gunpowder in the shell are successfully imitated, the development of new gunpowder can only be based on experiments in the laboratory. As long as the blasting experiment is done, it must go through I agree, it must also be outside, and mass production can only be carried out when the conditions for mass production are fully met."

Facing this open space, the two of them were enjoying the future, and Qu Zhenggan's eyes didn't feel funny at all when he said something to you. It has always been there, but now seeing that his two best friends have found a place to display their talents, there is a saying in his heart that he must say: "This boss, the three of them are really right."

"Old Qu!" Zhu Chuanwen suddenly shouted.

"Yes, boss!" Qu Zhenggan was shocked by this voice.

"The construction of this laboratory and the construction of the factory building are based on Guangting's intention. 5 taels is enough to build this factory area." Zhu Chuanwen asked Mao Guangting again.

"That's enough, my boss! In fact, in my mind, with 3 taels of silver, I can build this land!" Mao Guangting said. The experimental equipment and materials purchased later are the bulk.

"It's only 5 taels. The rooms in the important places are thickly wrapped with cement. There is no need to save this money!" Zhu Chuanwen said with a big wave of his hand.

"Then listen to the boss!" The regret flashed across Mao Guangting's face. If his teacher met Zhu Chuanwen, the result would definitely be very different.Mao Guangting's teacher accidentally ignited the gunpowder and died. In his mind, he had simulated more than once, how to reinforce the factory building, and how to safely produce gunpowder. The 3 taels had already been considered, but it was 2 more Two, it can be better deployed.

Qu Zhengqian heard that Zhu Chuanwen, who was still saying that he had no money just now, took out another 5 taels of silver without blinking an eye, and felt a little funny in his heart. His own employer is really interesting, and some places are not soft-hearted when spending money , but no longer plan to invest in places with foundation...

But how did Qu Zhenggan know that Zhu Chuanwen would buy the imitated machine tools from the ironware factory at double the cost of the imitation. Although this is a left-handed and right-handed behavior, this can greatly stimulate the ironware factory. Productivity, The higher the profit of the factory, the more the workers will be paid, and the investment in the imitation of the machine will be higher.

When everything is on the right track, won't the industrial chain be completed?

When the three got into the carriage again, Mao Guangting saw that the land was still flat, but he found it very charming.

If Zhu Chuanwen asked Mao Guangting how the land is, Mao Guangting would say: "It's beautiful, beautiful!"

on the carriage

"Guang Ting, I found you a place to go during this time, are you interested in listening?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"Boss, tell me!" Mao Guangting knew that by the time he finished the design drawings within a week, the construction of this factory would take more than three months.

"As for me, there is another school that plans to teach chemistry. Are you interested in being my teacher? Of course, Lao Qu, you can tell Lao Chu that you can come." Zhu Chuanwen said.

"That's okay! But I'm afraid that the class will start in the future, and it will be inconvenient to go to class during the day." Mao Guangting said very practically, he still wanted to focus on the study of gunpowder.

"Haha, then you should worry too much. During the day, the school has normal classes, and if the three of you come to be my teachers, it will be regarded as evening classes, and I will send you a bunch of repairs!" Zhu Chuanwen had long thought Pulling these three talents in my hands to train the Chaoyang of the Zhu family happened to start with Mao Guangting.

"Then I'm fine." Mao Guangting said with a smile, he was also eager to pass on what he had learned.

"Boss, Guangting talks about chemistry, what should I talk about?" Qu Zhengqian also asked with great interest. He had been a teacher before, and he didn't dislike teaching.

"You and Lao Chu are both teachers of Gewu, what do you think?"

"That feeling, get old!" Qu Zhengqian suddenly said something in Kanto dialect, which made the two people in the car laugh heartily.
