Qi Yuanbi looked at the ugly machine in front of him, which was nothing more than a strange shape of wood and steel, covered with dust and dirt from tung oil. He said to Xu Meng with a little disgusted look on his face: "Is this the important discovery you said?"

Xu Meng nodded and said, "That's right, you don't know this thing..."

"What kind of baby is this!"

"You know nothing!"

Liu Mingyu ignored Qi Yuanbi and Xu Meng's quarrel. Although Xu Meng was big and thick, he was one of the few generals in Daning who knew skills and could fight wars.

This ugly machine is actually a hydraulically driven bed. Liu Mingyu's system mall has it. This is a hydraulically driven bed and a steam engine powered by a steam engine. It's a pity that it requires purchasing a steam engine. It's ridiculously expensive. In fact, Liu Mingyu wanted to grit his teeth and buy a few beds for the craftsmen to conduct research.

It has to be admitted that Europa cylinder boring has already been ahead of the Ming Dynasty. Hydraulic-driven barrel boring machines appeared more than a hundred years ago. After Watt obtained the patent for practical steam engines more than a hundred years later, the machining accuracy of the cylinder became a key issue for the steam engine. Wilkinson (also translated as John Wilkinson) invented the barrel boring machine, which was used to process cylinder blocks for Watt steam engines the following year.

Although Daning has the technology to cut the barrel rifle, this technology is actually transformed from the jade cutting technology, and its work efficiency is extremely poor. It is very expensive to process the barrel of musket in this way.

However, this hydraulically powered bed should have been bought by Sun Yuanhua from Europa for a lot of money to cast artillery. The movement bed is mainly an internal scrubber, which can polish the inside of the barrel very smoothly.

Liu Mingyu asked excitedly: "Is there any craftsman who can use this thing?"

Xu Meng said: "I'll go find it!"

This is actually the work of casting artillery in Dengzhou City. Since there is the Shahe River outside the city wall, it is also because the water of the water river provides power for the hydraulic machine tools here.

Xu Meng led his men to find a warehouse. The area of ​​the warehouse was not large, and it looked less than 200 square meters at most, but it was filled with more than 100 foreign devils. More than 100 people were in the space of more than 200 square meters, so the space was naturally narrow and the air was dirty.

"Hold……"

Liu Mingyu looked at these ragged foreigners and couldn't help but swear: "They all came out of the septic tank?"

"Marty, they all are like this, they never take a bath!"

"I don't care what method you use to clean them up and bring them over to see me!"

The soldiers of the Liu family army carried out Liu Mingyu's orders very thoroughly. They ignored the protests of these foreigners and rushed them to Shahe. You should know that although the water in Shahe River was not completely frozen at this time, there were already ice residues in the river. Liu Mingyu just ordered these foreigners to be washed away. As for whether these foreigners would get sick or catch a cold, it was not within the consideration of the Liu family soldiers.

After more than half an hour of tossing, a red-haired Nordic man was brought to Liu Mingyu. He was lucky not to be this one because he had red-haired, but because he could speak Chinese.

"Meet the Lord!"

"May I have your name?"

"Logan!"

"That old Luo!"

"Sir, my name is Logan, and my surname is Irving!"

"It doesn't matter. Can you operate this machine?"

"certainly!"

Logan pointed to the machine and said, "This is a boring machine, specially used to polish the inner chamber of the cannon. This is the most advanced electric bed in the Habsburg Empire. Don't look at this machine as ugly as it is, don't doubt its power. As long as it has sufficient hydraulic power, it only takes two hours to polish the inner chamber of any cannon to you!"

Xu Meng murmured: "We can grind the cannon chamber with our hands so smoothly!"

Liu Mingyu reached out and touched the sharp and exquisitely crafted knives, and nodded repeatedly: "What a good thing!"

Logan pointed to another one: "This is a drilling machine, specially used to drill the barrel. If it is sufficiently hydraulic, it can drill a four-foot barrel in just two hours, and the scrapping rate is extremely low!"

Xu Meng murmured: "We cast directly, which is much better than the barrel that drilled out!"

"This is a planer. Have you seen this extremely sharp planer? Yes, it is used to cut metal! With it, your cannon will be smoother than the ice surface!"

"This is a thread processing machine tool. Just turn it on and put the parts in, and squeak... In the blink of an eye, circles of threads will appear on extremely hard steel. Whether it is an internal thread or an external thread, it can be easily handled!"

Although these machine tools are hand-made and are very simple, they are probably not much more reliable, but... they are also machine tools after all. With it, they can produce machinery with machinery. No matter how overestimated this meaning is, it is not too much!

Liu Mingyu patted the boring machine hard and said, "It's all good things! But why are there no grinders and milling machines?"

Logan was slightly stunned and asked, "Grinder and milling machine? What is this?"

Liu Mingyu explained: "Machine tools that use milling cutters to mill workpieces. In addition to milling planes, grooves, gear teeth, threads and spline shafts, milling machines can also process relatively complex profiles. Grinding machines are machine tools used to grind metal. Simply put, they are used to grind milling cutters! These two types of machine tools are very important. Why do you bring them from Europa?"

Many foreign craftsmen shook their heads in full swing.

Xu Meng looked at Logan and said, "Don't just talk. Just talk or not practice, that's the mouth-hand-style, practice!"

Logan made a big splash to the foreigners behind him. Several foreigners began to act. They linked the power unit with the water truck transmission system. As the water truck rotated, the tools on the machine tool also began to rotate, slowly gaining speed.

At this time, another foreigner picked up an iron pipe and placed one on the external threaded blade of the threaded machine tool. The other was fixed to the external threaded blade. Only a harsh sound was heard, and iron filings as thick as hair continued to fall. Soon, the thread was processed. The foreigner took out the two pipes and twisted them in front of everyone. He twisted the two iron pipes into one in just a few seconds.

Xu Meng took the iron rod and tried hard to pull it away, but he could pull it away? He was not convinced and asked a heavy infantryman to come and help. Two big guys grabbed one side and used all the strength to suck it, but he could pull it away at all.

"Don't waste your energy in vain. Even if your strength is ten times greater, don't even think about pulling them apart!"

Liu Ming had to twist the pipe a few times, but he didn't see how much force he used, so he easily twisted the iron pipe into two sections. He pointed to the circle of threads and explained to everyone: "This is the thread. The threads of the two pipes can be perfectly connected. They can tighten them in a counterclockwise direction. Once tightened, even the eighteen cows cannot pull them away, but they can easily twist them in a clockwise direction. Isn't it amazing?"

After hearing his explanation, everyone thought that this machine tool was not useless, at least the thread was very useful.

Another foreigner didn't say a word and put a piece of cooked iron on the rotating turning tool. The iron filings flew up one by one. Soon, the high-speed turning tool cut it into a cylinder, proving that "cutting iron like mud" is not a legend.

Then I put the iron lump on the drilling machine and started the drilling knife. After a strange sound, I drilled out the round hole. Then I changed the boring machine to polish the round hole smoothly. I used a silk knife to tap out the internal thread, picked up the iron pipe that had attacked the external thread and twisted it a few times. A hatch was done.

Seeing these equipment complete an axe so efficiently, although this efficiency is not as fast as the axe cast by Liu Jiajun, the convenience is obvious, and these equipment is not useless.

Liu Mingyu was also a little regretful and did not get the grinder and milling machine as he imagined. However, these were all unexpected gains. Dengzhou would definitely not become Liu Mingyu's territory. He was just a passerby, and he would take it away directly, whether it was a human or a machine. As for the steel materials reserved by Sun Yuanhua, these things had long been made into weapons such as knives and guns by Kong Youde. The biggest gain in this factory was that there were 88 unfinished cannons, as well as a batch of retaliation barrels, about twenty.

Liu Mingyu looked at the foreign devils and said, "Are you willing to work for this marquis?"

Most of the foreign devils couldn't understand Chinese and looked confused.

Liu Mingyu pointed at Logan and said, "Tell them that I am the champion of the Ming Dynasty, the Daning Strategic Pacification Envoy, are you willing to work for me? I can pay you wages!"

Logan looked at the soldiers around Liu Mingyu. These Liu family soldiers looked at them with malicious eyes. How dare they disagree?

Liu Mingyu asked someone to call Feng Tuohai, a navy from Penglai Water City.

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

"No gift!"

Liu Mingyu said: "I asked you to come here, just one mission, immediately form a fleet, transport these machinery and equipment to this Hou to Funing Port, and then transfer it to Kuanhe at Funing Port!"

"yes!"

"Remember, there must be no accidents in these machines and equipment and foreigners!"

"The task will be completed at the end!"

"Marty, Marquis!"

Xu Meng pulled himself in the warehouse and screamed.

"What's your name?"

"These guns are a bit strange!"

Liu Mingyu was slightly stunned: "What's strange?"

Xu Meng handed Liu Mingyu a musket made of walnut wood to Liu Mingyu. Liu Mingyu saw the problem at first sight: "Hey, there is actually a rifle. In order to confirm whether it was dazzled, Liu Mingyu turned over the muzzle and saw some rifle vaguely. He simply stuffed his fingers in and clearly touched the lines carved from metal.

One by one, it was spiral. Liu Mingyu wanted another one. Good guy, there was also rifle inside! Liu Mingyu's heartbeat was so fierce. The rifle was definitely epoch-making. With it, the range and accuracy of the bullet will be increased exponentially, and the time when the firearms dominate the earth has really come!
