Chapter 913 Met Kong Ming in the workshop
At noon on December 7th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao invited Su Buqing and Wei Qubing, two heroes of the Imperial Guard, to have lunch together. After the Royal Guard of Princess Tassel, it will be handed over to the Praetorian Guard for actual combat tasks.
Su Buqing and Wei Qubing were immediately attracted by the actual combat mission, and agreed to Qu Mao without hesitation.
The current Imperial Guards of the Lord's Lodge, especially the 80,000 recruits recruited by Qu Maoxin with recruitment vouchers, have basically never experienced actual combat. Work, basically have not seen any battle.
Qu Mao believes that as Yicheng Territory captures more and more independent territories on the main continent, the danger of the royal guards taking on the role of guards will increase greatly. Qu Mao thinks that the royal guards who have never seen blood are unreliable.
As for what kind of actual battle to arrange, Qu Mao had already planned in his mind. Now that the main force of the army and the main force of the garrison are fighting on the main continent, there is no decent high-ranking army in the holy land of Yicheng except for the guards of the lord's hut. Since the high-level warrior unit chooses to upgrade the lord's hut and territory, the folding space and field resource mines that appear after the upgrade will naturally be handed over to the Imperial Guards to attack, which can be regarded as providing opportunities for the Imperial Guards to fight.
Afterwards, Qu Mao did not rest in the lord's hut. Although he went to Wucheng for more than a week, and the road back was bumpy for nearly a day and a night, Qu Mao actually felt a little tired.
However, since Tianxuan lost nearly 26 million cheat points on November 27th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao’s cheating system only had less than 500,000 cheat points left. It rose steadily, and before you knew it, it was approaching 1 million points again.
Qu Mao knew that this must be because the process improvement made in the southern Sandao factory before going to Wucheng had been applied to the production of products by various factories, so there would be such cheating results.
After going to Bing with Su Buqing and Wei to have lunch, Qu Mao found a war horse, selected 20 fifth-rank palace guards, and headed for Gandao from the purple light path in the underground world.
Since various factories have started to apply improved technology, Qu Mao naturally needs to go and have a look again. In case of accidentally copying a few more homework, wouldn't the accumulation of cheating points be faster?
I went around several factories in Gandao, and simply asked the managers of each factory how easy it is to apply their own improved technology, and encouraged the relevant technicians of each factory to boldly improve their own technology. There was no place where they could continue to copy operations, so Qu After Mao left Dry Island, he immediately continued to rush to Bo Island without stopping.
In a handicraft workshop for firing porcelain on Bodao, Qu Mao unexpectedly saw Kong Ming, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Kong Ming, you didn't go back to the outlying island power research institute, but you are here on Bodao, what attracts you from Bodao?" you?"
Seeing that it was Qu Mao who was greeting him, Kong Ming quickly stopped what he was doing, picked up the goose feather fan and shook it a few times, and said with a smile: "My lord, after finishing the swearing-in meeting for the troops in Wucheng, I will return to the Holy Land immediately." , after arranging work tasks at the Outlying Islands Power Research Institute, I came to the three southern islands to observe the craft improvements made by the adults.
I went back to the outlying islands on the way, and came here again the day before yesterday. Inspired by your master’s improvement of craftsmanship, my subordinates are also working on a craft improvement here. Under endless thoughts.
My lord, please take a look at the improvement experiment that your subordinates are doing now, and give your subordinates advice by the way. "
Qu Mao smiled and said, "Actually, they are all small improvements. They are really nothing." Coming to the place where Kong Ming was squatting at the beginning, several technicians from the porcelain firing workshop were huddling together.
Kong Ming smiled and said, "My lord, don't be too modest.
For example, movable type printing seems to be a very simple improvement, but no one thought of it before. After you brought it up, my lord, it seems that everyone can understand the principle immediately.
At present, a printing factory engraves 50 or 100 of the more than 3,000 commonly used standing characters, and can basically complete most of the printing tasks. Occasionally, rare characters appear, and it is not troublesome to find an engraver to engrave one temporarily.
Now the printing factory that uses movable type printing technology, the engraving technicians are almost out of work, and replaced by a post of typesetting technician. "
Qu Mao said with a smile: "A printing factory only has 3000 commonly used characters, how can it be possible..." When he said this, Qu Mao had already joined several technicians.
Suddenly Qu Mao stopped his original conversation, pointed to the equipment surrounded by several technicians, and said, "Damn it! Kong Ming, why does this thing look so much like the wooden mold I designed for the porcelain factory?"
Then Qu Mao shook his head again, and said, "No, some are similar but some are not. What are you planning to do here?"
Kong Ming inserted the goose feather fan into his belt, squatted down, and said: "My lord, this is the subordinate who is preparing to improve the wooden mold you provided.
Most of the porcelain bowls, bottles, and cans are round, and the wooden mold you provided is not easy to handle the shape. The wooden mold you provided is more suitable for making rectangular porcelain, but the round ones are somewhat useless. There is a way.
A flash of light flashed in Qu Mao's mind, and the scene of another world appeared in his mind again, and then he said to Kong Ming: "Come on, Kong Ming, I have some ideas.
Relying on your semi-finished device, you first turn the crankshaft to provide power, and I will install several sets of devices similar to turning tools. "
Kong Ming suddenly became excited, and immediately turned the crank shaft by himself, even if the goose feather fan fell on the ground, he didn't care.
What Qu Mao did was very simple. Kong Ming imitated the operation principle of a lathe to shape the mud of porcelain. Compared with wood, the hardness of the mud is not known to be much easier.
Even if there is no metal turning tool, Qu Mao just found four pieces of wood as a sign, placed two sets of wood pieces on the lathe where the turning tool was originally placed, and then directed two technicians to stuff a large lump of mud into the work area.
After the crankshaft of Kong Ming was connected to the drive belt, he immediately turned the wood chips used as turning tools around the mud block. Qu Mao adjusted the distance between the two sets of turning tools, and instantly the car produced two sections with different thicknesses, but the mud The block is still a whole, but the thickness of different regions is different.
Seeing this result, Kong Ming's eyes straightened.
Qu Mao said with a smile: "Kong Ming, look, I push this mud block to different positions, then cylinders of different specifications and different thicknesses can be formed. If it is more complicated, you can add turning tools or adjust turning tools. distance."
Kong Ming nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, his eyes were filled with inexplicable excitement.
Qu Mao shook his head again, and said: "This is still very inconvenient, you can consider whether the rotation can be transmitted to a vertical shaft, and the vertical shaft can be made into the shape of the inner space of the porcelain, and then pasted with mud.
Turn the handle, the vertical shaft drives the mud to rotate, and the turning tool is fixed on the outside, or the turning tool is not used at all, and the wood chip is used to shape the shape manually.
In this way, the inner and outer molding of the porcelain can be completed at one time...
Of course, if it is the kind of porcelain with a big belly and a small mouth, I am afraid that I have to shape it twice, and then manually combine the two pieces of clay. Although it is a bit troublesome, the shape will definitely be more rounded, and it will not be like the current porcelain workshop. Product quality and specifications are uneven…”
Kong Ming has the talent in this area. As soon as Qu Mao finished speaking, Kong Ming immediately said: "Vertical shaft? My God, it's so creative. The power is transmitted to the vertical shaft to drive the vertical shaft to rotate. The problem is not big and can be solved easily.
Small pieces of wood for molding? Oh my god, it doesn't matter what shape you want to make... No, the small pieces of wood are not fixed, and the quality and aesthetics of the product depend on the skill of the maker.
The small piece of wood used as the turning tool should still be fixed, and the operator should only do the actions of wrapping the mud on the vertical shaft, turning the drive shaft, and removing the finished mud…”
Qu Mao and Kong Ming deserved to be scientific research partners who have cooperated for a long time. The two expressly experimented in the porcelain handicraft workshop on Bodao. Fortunately, the wooden turning tool can be easily made.
Less than two hours later, Qu Mao and Kong Ming were overjoyed to see the open cup mud made by a hand-cranked mud molding facility. The technicians who followed Qu Mao and Kong Ming were also full of praise.
A mechanic said: "Master Kong Ming, some time ago, I heard from colleagues in Gandao that our lord is the top mechanic, and I thought it was a bit exaggerated. Your lord has a lot of work every day, so how could he have time to study technology.
Today, I saw the miraculous technology of the adults with my own eyes, and the adults really lived up to their reputation! "
Kong Ming did not respond to the mechanic, but said to Qu Mao: "My lord, it is not too stable now, the speed of the hand crank is not easy to control, and the mud is often thrown from the vertical shaft, but my subordinates feel that a little improvement is definitely possible."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Porcelain containers will definitely not have such a small internal space as we are doing experiments now, so the shape of the vertical shaft should also be changed, such as making it into a shuttle shape or a round belly. The problem of not being thrown off the mud is probably to control the speed of the hand crank and the degree of adhesion of the mud itself.”
Kong Ming said: "Yes, my lord, these are the directions for improvement, we will continue to experiment..."
Qu Mao, however, pulled Kong Ming's sleeve and said, "Kong Ming, just give me the idea, let these mud brick craftsmen try it out for themselves, how can the two of us have the time to spend time making this irregular mud brick?" Are the facilities made?
Why not go to other factories and come up with some new ideas for improvement. "
The reason why Qu Mao disagreed with Kong Ming's time-consuming improvement was because the cheating system had already judged success and rewarded cheating points. No matter who improved it later, Qu Mao would have a share of the cheating points, so there was no need to continue spending time here .
