Late Ming Dynasty: Infinite Violent Soldiers

　　Some seem useful for now, others lay the groundwork for the future.

　　However, in general, the emergence of comprehensive laboratories will have a qualitative improvement in the technology of various industries in the territory.

　　The machinery manufacturing center is not only a place for researching machinery and equipment, but also a place for manufacturing machinery and equipment.

　　It can be said that this is a comprehensive machinery factory.

　　At the same time, it has the functions of R&D and manufacturing.

　　All kinds of wind, human, hydraulic and animal-powered machinery can be manufactured on the spot.

　　And machinery such as steam engine operation can be manufactured, but it cannot be applied immediately, because the power source, steam engine has not yet been made.

　　After taking a closer look, Lin Feng had to show a wry smile, the steam era is indeed coming, but this is not the steam era he imagined.

　　At least, the steam engine produced here is just a very primitive version of the steam engine, which can only be applied to some mechanical equipment.

　　As for the steam locomotive he imagined, that is, the steam locomotive, the train that pulls long carriages and runs fast on the rails, it is far from reaching.

　　The technical content of steam engines is very low, but the technical content of steam locomotives is beyond imagination, from being called "industrial crown"

　　It can be seen in the name.

　　This is an extremely scientific and extremely complex system engineering, which requires various technologies and the support of various industrial chains to be able to do it.

　　Today, Lin Feng's territory does not have such conditions.

　　Want to truly enter the era of imaginary steam trains and steam battleships.

　　Lin Feng felt that at least the town center needed to be upgraded to level six.

　　As for producing a large number of researchers and scientists, go to study steam locomotives! Let's not talk about the professional counterparts, just the time and energy spent is far less than that, and then lay down a few provincial sites and upgrade the system to level [-] , so labor-saving! Although there is no imaginary steam locomotive, steam battleship.

　　But for the territory, the mechanical equipment powered by Daqi can be used to enter the real steam era, Lin Feng is already very satisfied, and there is a smile on his face.

　　There is no doubt that once the steam engine is equipped with machinery and equipment, the productivity of the territory will soar exponentially in the large-scale factories of the territory! The real explosion seems to increase! Then the demand for various raw materials will also reach an extremely terrifying level.

　　In order to achieve this level of productivity, the transportation network must be perfect and convenient! Lin Feng is very fortunate at the moment, he has seen far away, and he has paid attention to the transportation problem very early.

　　Roads were built, widened, and cement roads were also built.

　　So much so that now that we have entered the age of steam, productivity is soaring, and transportation can still keep up.

　　Of course, to popularize steam equipment, these all need to come slowly.

　　It can't be popularized all at once.

　　This requires transportation network, commercial market, skilled workers, etc., all aspects can be matched.

　　For Lin Feng, the only factory that can let him wave his hand and order to enter the steam mechanization factory is the military factory established in Jinan Prefecture.

　　Only the military factory, he does not need to consider market factors! He also does not need to control whether the produced muskets and artillery can be sold! Because, he himself needs a large number of muskets and artillery reserves! In addition, the system upgrade is not only new Added arms and buildings, all previous buildings will be upgraded.

　　The effect of upgrading is similar to a breakthrough in technology.

　　To give the simplest example, Lin Feng has always had a headache, and even the heavy artillery that needs to be developed by a large number of researchers needs to be upgraded as soon as the artillery factory is upgraded.

　　The production and R&D problems of heavy artillery were solved in an instant! Three kinds of heavy artillery, [-]kg, [-]kg, [-]kg, and [-]kg, can already be manufactured! And because the comprehensive laboratory has materials Due to the study laboratory, the quality of steel has been strengthened again, and the quality of cast steel cannons has been improved again.

　　The rate of misfire and the rate of blasting plummeted.

　　And the continuous fire performance has been increased by as much as [-]%! The quality of this steel cast gun is no longer weaker than that of the copper cast gun, and even stronger.

　　The most important thing is that the cost is low and the weight is light! With this upgrade, Weihaiwei's artillery technology has begun to lead the world in an all-round way! In addition, the musket also has the arquebus technology, which has been upgraded to the flintlock technology.

　　And the musket firing process has been reduced a lot! It has already reached the level of two shots per minute! This firepower firing speed has reached a terrifying speed! As long as the flintlock gun is equipped with a bayonet, the Weihai Guard can already enter the The era of full firearms! Sword and shield soldiers and spearmen will also begin to be eliminated one by one.

　　However, all these need to be completed when the construction task of Jinan Fucheng is completed, the military factory is fully operational, and the mass production of flintlock guns will be carried out.

　　And these all take time! However, Lin Feng is not in a hurry for this time! He can wait slowly! It happened to be a big battle, and large-scale battles were launched one after another.

　　And the newly occupied site has also entered the digestion time of comprehensive construction.

　　These all take time.

　　Therefore, Lin Feng did not have the tendency to deploy troops on a large scale, but according to the original plan, the [-]st and [-]rd Army hoarded in Dongchangfu and began to advance step by step northward to Zhili.

　　Occupy the entire territory of Daming Prefecture in Northern Zhili, and at the same time encroach on the territory of the southern provinces of Northern Zhili, forming a strategic advantage.

　　These are all small moves, and they can't be compared with the Huaibei War at all.

　　In addition, because of the Huaibei War, hundreds of thousands of southern Zhili were wiped out, and the northern Zhili army was terrified.

　　At such a time, one dares to fight against the Weihai Guards and sees the Weihai Guards from a distance, and begins to flee! Therefore, it seems that the occupation of the territory is not small, but in fact, the intensity of the war is very small, even Calm down, not much different from an armed march.

　　And Weihaiwei's action of withdrawing his fist, dormant, coming down, and beginning to digest the newly occupied territory also made many forces heave a sigh of relief.

　　They were afraid that Weihaiwei would launch large-scale battles and make big moves at every turn.

　　Compared with the calm of Weihaiwei, the various forces in Daming have actually increased their movements, and they are all racing against time to siege and loot the land and grow stronger.

　　Almost everywhere in the Ming Dynasty is full of wolf smoke! So, Weihaiwei has become a place of peace.

Chapter [-] Mature Steam Engine

　　Lin Feng immediately assigned the task of building a comprehensive laboratory, a machinery manufacturing center and a rubber plantation.

　　Let the people below build these three buildings as soon as possible.

　　Immediately, a group of scientists and mechanical engineers began to be produced, and they were given the task of building a steam engine for the first time.

　　With a strong industrial system and a complete industrial chain, the first steam engine prototype was manufactured in a few days.

　　On this day, Lin Feng led his staff and many ministers of the Government Council to the newly established machinery manufacturing center. Under the leadership of mechanical engineers, he came to a steam engine prototype.

　　This steam engine is extremely huge, and it is entirely cast in steel. From the appearance, it is impossible to tell what it is.

　　Li Gan and the others beside Lin Feng looked at the machine with a bewildered expression, completely confused, what exactly is this! At the same time, this steel cast thing, what is it used for, why is it being valued by the lord! Unlike the people who are produced by these systems under their command, their vision and cognition are still limited to this era, except after upgrading, they can Except for the scientists and mechanical engineers who produced it, other system personnel do not know the steam engine.

　　Even in their conception, the concept of the steam engine was never known.

　　Although the system personnel seem to know more than the people of the Ming Dynasty, their vision is still limited to this era, so they do not exceed the people of the Ming Dynasty too much.

　　Lin Feng is different. He can clearly identify that this steam engine is a piston working model, with its independent combustion chamber, power chamber, exhaust chamber and other structural designs.

　　For this, Lin Feng was extremely satisfied.

　　These structures are well-designed and have everything they should have, so their power will never be small! Compared with the first steam engine in history, this is already a mature product.

　　It can be directly practical and applied to various factories.

　　If the machinery manufacturing center designs many machines to match it, then the industrial system of the entire territory will be upgraded, and it will enter the era of mechanized production.

　　The efficiency of hand-made and mechanized production is the difference between heaven and earth! It can't be compared at all! Only mechanized production can be said to have truly entered the era of mass production and large-scale production.

　　In this era, productivity means everything! Only with its manufacturing technology and the ability to scale production can various raw materials be continuously produced into industrial commodities.

　　The appearance of the steam engine means what Lin Feng understands very well.

　　After a cursory look, Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered, "Ignition test!"

　　The engineers of the mechanical manufacturing center nodded one after another. In the eyes of Li Gan and the others, they saw that these mechanical engineers were sending coal and fresh water into this strange-looking machine made of steel.

　　Boom! Boom! Boom! The steel collided, and the blood was bursting, and the blood boiled.

　　This steel casting machine began to move.

　　"Move, it moves!"

　　"God, it actually moves!!"

　　"It only eats coal and water, it can move on its own, and it looks like it's tireless. As long as the coal and water are continuously supplied, it won't stop!"

　　"Amazing, it's really amazing!"

　　"The power of heaven and earth, this is the real

　　The power of heaven and earth!!"

　　"This is the power of natural science!!!"

　　"incredible!!"

　　""

　　Li Gan and the others were immediately shocked by the steam engine running in front of them, and they all exclaimed, as if they had never seen the world before, and shouted with fuss.

　　I don't blame them. They who have never seen mechanical movement and are full of animal power, human power, wind power and water power, how could they imagine that coal and water contain such great power! "My lord, after passing us In the first test, this model was named as Type 1 steam engine, and its maximum speed was [-] rpm, and it could be maintained stably up to [-] rpm.

　　Its power is equivalent to two horsepower!"

　　"It can already be called a mature steam engine. It can be used in major factories to set up special mechanical production lines, so that the factories in our territory can accelerate the upgrade!"

　　"At the same time, it can be used to develop special pumps, crushers, forging machines, road rollers, brick making machines and excavators in major mines and highways!"

　　"It's extremely versatile and can be used in all walks of life!"

　　"Actually, the principle of mechanization upgrade is very simple. With the advent of the steam engine, the power source can be transported to any place. For various factories, it does not need to be fixed in a certain place!"

　　Of course, Lin Feng understands the concept of mechanized production. In fact, the emergence of steam power means that human beings have a mobile power source that can be controlled.

　　There is no need to fix various tools and equipment in the required resource gathering areas such as rich water or wind.

　　At the same time, because it can run for a long time without sleep, it is also different from human and animal power, which requires rest.

　　The emergence of the steam engine has greatly facilitated human beings, and at the same time liberated human beings from many workplaces.

　　Its appearance has a qualitative improvement in the productivity of the territory! It can also reduce the cost of industrial commodities on a large scale! For handmade manufacturing, it has a rolling effect.

　　The emergence of the steam engine means the arrival of the era of great development of industry and commerce, and also means the arrival of the nightmare of the southern gentry! Because, those handmade goods of them will be crushed by unprecedented crushing.

　　Compared with before, the territory only relied on mass production by gathering manpower in an assembly line. In terms of production methods with little technical content, the encounter will be even worse! The cost of goods manufactured by Weihaiwei may be at most several times lower than them! But now , once it is applied to the mechanized production of steam engines on a large scale, the cost will be reduced to ten times, or even dozens of times more.

　　The reason is very simple, the production efficiency has increased, and a large number of raw material mining areas have applied steam machinery, the mining cost will drop sharply, and the mining efficiency and scale will be dozens or hundreds of times the real.

　　The price of raw materials will definitely go crazy! This is the crazy price of the whole industry chain, and the cost of the final product will naturally drop ten times or even dozens of times.

　　The most terrifying thing is that because the production efficiency has been greatly improved, Lin Feng has absolute power to control the pricing power of raw materials in the world! Whether it is raw materials or finished product prices, he is in control! In this case, the southern gentry and Rich businessman, how can you compete with him! Li Gan and the others on the side listened to the conversation between Lin Feng and the mechanical engineer, and their expressions were very exciting. Although they listened very ignorantly, they understood one thing. This machine is called a steam engine. , can be applied to various industrial chains, and the production efficiency has a qualitative improvement!! Feilu reminds you: reading three things collection, recommendation, score
