Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 322

After watching the assembly line production of the cannon, Zu Long was obviously much calmer when he saw the gunpowder production line.Compared with the blazing heat over the cannon, this place is obviously much deserted.There are only two assembly lines in total, and the number of people is much less than there.

In particular, in order to keep it secret, Qin Mu specially built a courtyard here. The walls of the courtyard are more than three meters high. The atmosphere of the entire production "workshop" is similar to those prisons in later generations.Of course, Daqin's prisons are not of this style, they are often dark and damp dungeons, so these Mohists don't think of prisons at all.

Otherwise, I guess Qin Mu still has to find a way to appease these people... After all, they came to the prison to avoid going to prison in three years. As a result, they haven't waited for three years... and they have already lived in prison What's the matter?

Of course, in fact, it is a prison, and the conditions here are good.The workshop is spacious, but after all, with so many people working, it is inevitable that the environment will be dirty and messy.These craftsmen, in the past, were all fugitives!You tell them to pay attention to hygiene when working, how will they react in a while?
They just throw everything on the ground after use, and don't care if it's dirty or not.Not to mention them, even Zulong didn't say anything... In his opinion, craftsmen... shouldn't be like that?If a craftsman also learns from those scholars to be polite all day long, if he has to struggle for a long time to throw garbage, wouldn't it be a mess?
However, people don't really like messy things.Therefore, since the compound was isolated from the outside, Qin Mu only asked a few servants to clean it a few times, and the craftsmen inside began to pay attention to the hygiene here.Even sometimes, they even have to clean up after work.

In addition, the courtyard wall is high and the sound insulation effect is good, so the craftsmen here are actually in a good mood.In addition, Qin Mu paid them higher wages than outsiders, so although there were fewer people, the efficiency did not drop.Compared with those who cast cannons outside, their work is easier, the environment is better, and their wages are even higher. Who can not cherish the present opportunity?
Zu Long took a brief look, but actually didn't pay much attention.He didn't go to the province to see these craftsmen, not even to see the progress here.With Qin Mu here, does he still need to worry about this progress?The reason why he came here was actually to satisfy his curiosity, to see what new things Qin Mu had come up with.

Since gunpowder is also an assembly line, Zulong naturally lacks interest.

Qin Mu also saw Zulong's state, and said with a smile: "Father, you are not looking at their work, you are looking at the rarity!"

Zu Long chuckled, didn't say anything, and directly acquiesced to Qin Mu's statement. "You kid, can't I even come over and have a look? Don't forget, this place of yours was given to you by me! As a result, it's only been a while, and it's changed a lot..."

Zulong was also a little emotional.This supervisory garden was originally planned for when I have time to come out for leisure and living. When it was built, although the standard was very high, it was more of a place to enjoy, and all kinds of buildings and facilities were for myself. Rest and play with the princes and princesses in the palace, the style is more luxurious.

In the end, how long has Qin Mu been here?It's about to transform this place into a big factory!He even favored and designed many places, and some facilities that could be used for pleasure were all transformed into workshops.This Qin Mu, although he is still a child, is not greedy for pleasure at all!What kind of quality is this?
After thinking about it, Zu Long was moved!In the end, when I came back to my senses, I found that there was a huge thing in front of me... Er... How should I describe this thing?The upper part is like a huge egg, but the size is too big, and the bottom is still hollowed out.Under the egg, there is a basket of a small size, of course, compared with the egg.Compared with people, this basket is also very big.

Zu Long's eyes lit up. Didn't he come here just to find something new?The one in front of him, which he had never seen before, was obviously novel enough!

"Mu'er, what is this?" Zu Long was delighted to see Lie Xin, and stepped forward to touch the hanging basket.This hanging basket looks like a wicker-woven basket, but when you touch it, you find that the wicker is only a part, and the overall skeleton is made of steel bars.

Qin Mu directly opened the door on the hanging basket, and signaled Zulong to follow: "This is called a hot air balloon, and it's something I specially made these days."

As he spoke, he also called a soldier in rough clothes.This is a soldier sent by Wang Jian to test hot air balloons. It is not very good to be fully armed, so he changed his clothes specially.

However, no matter how you change it, that strong military temperament cannot be concealed, even Zulong couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Of course, nothing was said.In his mind, Qin Mu was basically the most trustworthy person, even if he did not know where to recruit some soldiers, what was the point?In short, he will not assassinate himself.What's more, the cannons and other things he is going to do recently are for the use of Daqin's army, and it is normal for someone to be here.

"Hot air balloon? What is this for?" Zu Long's mind was quickly attracted by the hot air balloon in front of him. After all, he had never seen it before: "What can we do after we enter this basket?"

Qin Mu nodded towards the soldier.The soldier saluted, picked up a sack from the corner of the basket, poured the black powder in the sack into a huge black brazier above the hanging basket, and ignited it directly.

While watching the soldiers' movements, Qin Mu explained to Zulong: "These black powders are coal powders made from washed coal. It must be compared with ordinary coal mines, the combustion of coal powder is faster, Sufficiently, the flame and heat are much greater than coal. Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, it burns faster. However, the space of this hanging basket is relatively large, enough to carry a dozen bags.”

Zu Long nodded frequently, I know what you said, but what are you doing with this hot air balloon?Also, in the hot air balloon, why should these coal powder be ignited?This brazier is hanging in the air, and it burns quite violently, if you accidentally touch it, won't it be hot?

Qin Mu knew that he was very confused, but he didn't explain it.Anyway, when the pulverized coal is burned, it heats up very quickly!I just hope... Zulong won't be scared...
