    Xiangcheng Industrial Zone.  An empty shooting range.

    There was a gunshot, and the wooden man in armor fell down a hundred meters away.

    After the shooting was over, someone immediately brought the target over for everyone to watch, and a group of ministers joined in.  The heavy armor on the wooden man was completely penetrated!

    "How's it going? My dear! Is the goldsmith's craftsmanship good?" Li Zhe held the "Heavy Hammer" model of the front-loaded smoothbore flintlock that had just been successfully trial-produced in his hand, while he was pointing at the master craftsman beside him.  make fun of.

    Ma Jun also held a handful in his hand and examined it carefully. Hearing Li Zhe's teasing, his face turned red.  "Yeah! It's indeed better than the "raging fire" we proposed!"

    Li Zhe laughed loudly, pointed at Ma Jun and said: "Ma Aiqing! Stop being funny. As a naturalist, you can fight for victory and reputation, but you are a boiled dead duck with a tough-talking attitude.  It's very bad! This "heavy hammer" flintlock gun has a long range and is powerful. Compared with the one you made, there is a huge difference between the sky and the earth!"

    Ma Jun was speechless.

    And Jin Xin stood beside him with a look of leisure and contentment on his face.

    This time, in the competition for the empire¡¯s first individual-standard firearm, the project team led by Ma Jun suffered a complete defeat.  After that, in the procurement of the empire¡¯s ordnance projects, there were dozens of guild leaders in the empire¡¯s major industrial zones and trade unions, and I didn¡¯t know that some would be happy and some would be sad!

    There are currently two most famous masters in the empire's industry. One is Ma Jun, a historically famous scientist who was born outside Li Zhe's system. He is also a descendant of the Mohist family secretly inherited by the Han Dynasty. After accepting Li Zhe's way of heaven,  After learning knowledge.  With thick accumulation and thin hair, your achievements will be rapid.  He has developed many important scientific research projects, such as steam engines, and is currently the mainstay of the Ming Empire's scientific invention community.

    The other one is Jin Xin, a purely institutional scientist trained by Li Zhe in Runan County. In the history of the development of industrial technology along the way Li Zhe has come, a large number of scientists have appeared in the Runan County Craftsman Camp. In Shanzhai Technology  Jin Xin is the most outstanding one among all the rapid progress on the road.  He has done in-depth research on the standardization of weights and measures and the assembly line production of craftsmen camps, and has made a series of improvements specifically in this regard.  He made an indelible contribution to the manufacturing industry of the Ming Empire and was also an expert in replicating the Three Kingdoms space-time artillery!

    At present, the imperial industry.  Due to the competition for resources and reputation between the outsiders headed by Ma Jun and the elders from Runan County, they each formed a huge alliance of interests. There were many conflicts between them. In the trade union, Taixue and Tiandao Library, they formed a huge alliance.  Fierce interest competition has formed in each major branch of this important institution.

    The foreign faction has some traditional advantages in mechanics, that is, mechanics, while the local faction has some traditional advantages in metallurgical materials and processing.  As expected, Jin Xin took the lead this time in the improvement of the flintlock gun!

    Because of the prominent military technological advantages.  The Imperial Firearms Industry has little pressure on scientific research, and Li Zhe is not in a hurry about the research progress of the Empire's first prototype musket.  With an attitude of striving for excellence, we conducted a series of experiments from matchlock guns to flintlock guns, but they were not finalized until Jin Xin's model came out.  Li Zhecai finally spoke.  It was designated as the first standard firearm for the imperial infantry.

    The Imperial Fire Industry has skipped the matchlock era and entered the flintlock stage from the very beginning!

    Li Zhe¡¯s original requirements for this flintlock gun were high power and long range.  It must be equipped with gunpowder and bullets, and must also have melee combat capabilities.  The heavy hammer basically meets these requirements.  Range 200m.  The caliber is 15mm. Due to its exquisite craftsmanship, its power can still penetrate heavy armor at a distance of 70 meters.  The accurate range is also 120m. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, it could be used as a sniper rifle.

    The rate of fire of the heavy hammer reaches one shot per minute, and during the experiment there was even a record of one shot in 30 seconds.  Coupled with the length of 1.2m and the bayonet bayonet, it basically has the melee function, and the empire's first infantry-standard firearm was officially formed.  From then on, the imperial army announced that it had fully entered the age of firearms!

    Before the emergence of low-cost breech-loading rifled guns, this flintlock gun was already the most suitable individual firearm for large-scale equipment in the empire!

    At this time, the imperial firearms industry had completely surpassed the military technology of the same period in the late Ming Dynasty. The first flintlock gun even surpassed Great Britain at that period by nearly a hundred years!

    ¡­¡­

    "However, the imperial faction gained the results of the flintlock, and the outsiders did not show weakness. In terms of basic science, the outsiders once again led the elders.

    Electromagnetism appeared in the time and space of the Three Kingdoms!

    Electromagnetism has always been a science that scientists in the Three Kingdoms time and space have been looking forward to.  People in the Three Kingdoms time and space have already coveted the power of the Heavenly Master to control thunder and lightning.  But electromagnetic phenomena are also dangerous.?The meager introduction in physics textbooks is difficult to show the actual electromagnetic phenomena to the people of the Three Kingdoms time and space.  The most the craftsmen and alchemists can do is conduct friction experiments. More unlucky people who want to have close contact with the generator have provided negative teaching materials for everyone.

    With the in-depth study of calculus, the laws of electromagnetic induction can finally be described in depth, and people finally understand the generation mechanism of electricity. Theory and practice are perfectly combined. The first hand-cranked generator and volt battery, Leytron  A series of early electrical experimental equipment in modern time and space, such as the Dun bottle, came into being!

    But now this series of inventions are all attributed to Lin Sen, an indigenous man from the Three Kingdoms era.

    Lin Sen, courtesy name Hongmo, is a native of Qi State in Qingzhou, but secretly he is a great disciple of the Qi Mo School that has been passed down for hundreds of years!  He has been secretly watching the chaos in the world, and did not reappear until Li Zhe's Taoism Conference!  He led his followers to join Taixue and became a member of the top scientist system under Li Zhe's rule.

    As the top scholars of the Mohist school, Lin Sen and Ma Jun each have their own strengths. They both have deep attainments in physical theory and traditional Mohist mechanics. In just a few months, they have already understood various teachings passed down by Li Zhe.  The natural science textbooks and the three holy scriptures of Tianshi Dao, and formed my own understanding!

    This is a born scientific master!

    Electromagnetism is a large and complex subject.  Abstract and dangerous, but Lin Sen relied on his innate understanding and unremitting efforts.  Overcoming many difficulties, he established a series of electromagnetic theories and practices such as electrostatics, electric current law and electromagnetic induction law, which are unique to the time and space of the Three Kingdoms, based on junior high school physics textbooks.  Reappearing electromagnetism in the time and space of the Three Kingdoms!  And led the training of a large number of skilled technicians in the field of electromagnetics!

    Therefore, the electrical revolution in the Three Kingdoms time and space is also constantly brewing!  It won't be long before the industrial society under Li Zhe's jurisdiction will be completely separated from poor solar power generation.  Whether it is hydroelectric power generation or steam engine power generation, once scientific and technological theories and technologies emerge, industrial applications will follow!

    The scientific research achievements of Imperial Industry in recent times are of course not just flintlock guns and basic electrical revolutions.  In addition, there is another important achievement - the pot camel machine!

    The boiler machine is actually a power machine that connects the boiler and the steam engine. It connects energy and power. It is an achievement of the miniaturization of the steam engine.

    It is characterized by its small size, easy movement, and the ability to use coal, firewood, heavy oil, etc. as fuel.  It can drive waterwheels, generators or other various machinery. It can be used for irrigation and drainage when matched with water pumps and waterwheels. It can generate electricity and provide electricity when matched with generators. It can also directly drive threshing, rice milling, oil extraction, sawing, and food.  The power of various working machines in processing and machinery manufacturing is generally between ten and one hundred horsepower.

    It is so adaptable that it can burn anything, and it is extremely simple to modify.  It can be burned using various local low-quality fuels and combustible waste materials. It is easy to operate, install and maintain, reliable in operation, simple to manufacture and low in cost.  It can even be transformed into a car and used as a means of transportation.  In remote rural areas, he can provide basic power in almost all aspects.

    The disadvantage is: it takes a long time to prepare for the fire.  The boiler must be kept in a hot standby state during temporary shutdown. The thermal efficiency is low and the device is bulky.  But in the remote rural areas of the Ming Empire at this time, these shortcomings were no longer shortcomings.

    With the camel machine, the steam engine revolution was not limited to the industrial areas and major cities of the empire. The development of heavy industry certainly relied on these population gathering areas.  However, the development of light industry and agriculture also requires suitable power. The application of the camel machine allows the steam engine power revolution to directly penetrate into the branches and ends of the empire, allowing every citizen of the empire to enjoy the convenience brought by machinery.

    Think about it, farmers in rural areas have several pot machines per family, some are used to generate electricity and provide electricity; some are used for farm work, such as irrigation, sowing, harvesting, grain processing, etc.  It can do all kinds of chores; and the last one can be modified to be similar to a tractor. It can travel on rugged mountain roads, even if it is very slow, it is better than walking by people, and the load capacity it provides is beyond human power.  match.  In this way, the entire rural life has become mechanized, making life more convenient and the efficiency increased countless times!

    Such an industrial revolution wouldn¡¯t be beautiful!

    What the Guotou Machine will bring to the new Ming Empire is the rapid deepening and promotion of the industrial revolution, which will benefit all the people of the empire.  It makes people's lives better and makes the industrial revolution lasting and profound.  When the empire was born, the common shortage of horses and animal power faced by the empire would soon no longer be a problem.

    In fact, historically, it has always been very difficult for regions like China to industrialize.The terrain is vast and complex. In many places, there has been no government influence for thousands of years, and they are basically living in clan life or even primitive tribal life.  Under backward productive forces, it is impossible for people to survive without relying on clan power. This inevitably leads to the strict clan system controlling the countryside. Under social conditions with strict hierarchies, it is impossible to talk about the liberation of human nature.  .

    The penetration of the pot camel machine into the countryside will greatly improve the productivity and living standards of farmers, allowing farmers to obtain a good quality of life with the help of a family of workers, thereby gradually breaking away from the control of the clan and gradually becoming  For small family-style production and life.

    This is not only a long-term development of the empire's industry, but also brings great benefits to the reform of the empire's cultural system. People will become more and more confident, more and more free, more and more ideologically liberated, and seek  The trend of scientific and technological progress will be fundamentally formed.  This will undoubtedly have long-term benefits for the overall development of the entire social civilization of the empire.

    The basic driving force of social revolution comes from the revolution of productive forces, and in turn social revolution can promote the revolution of productive forces. This has always been the law of social development.

    This is what Li Zhe calls the decentralized industrial revolution!
