The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 87 Steam Engine Pump and Firecracker Factory
Some things are never as simple as they appear on the surface.

I dare not say that this statement is universally applicable, but it is not bad.

Sun Jie arranged the affairs of the city and passed the Golden Gate alone in a remote place.

Those who went there with Sun Jie also had some precious stones, pearls, gold jewelry, precious medicinal materials, and valuable wood.

It was all brought by Qin Shang. Now that Qin Shang is in the limelight in Shaanxi, it is not difficult to obtain these things.

The quantity is not very large, enough for Sun Jie to use today.

Not as vicious as Zhang Moqian's eyes, and he can see the general idea.

There are almost 2 million goods, and the gold alone is worth more than [-] million.

Antique calligraphy and paintings are valuable, but they fluctuate greatly, and sometimes there are certain risks, and the sale may not be quick.

This is not as good as gold. After all, it is a hard currency throughout history, and it is not as harsh as an antique when it is exchanged.

Behind the door is the modern age that is still in spring.

However, summer is coming soon.

Without the Little Ice Age, it would naturally not be like the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The goods are all stored in the warehouse and hung with big locks.

I drove a pickup truck to the supermarket, and the surrounding area became more and more depressed. Without the main force of purchases, this place will only become dilapidated day by day.

It's just the laws of the world, no matter when, you can't escape.

Sitting in the supermarket, he casually took out a bag of spicy strips from the shelf, and took out a pack of cigarettes, smoking quietly.

"There are more people now, and some wells have been drilled, but the manual water pump is not working anymore, and the water volume is limited, and the use is limited."

Close your eyes and lean back.

Breathing out a mouthful of green smoke, he suddenly thought of an artifact—the steam engine water pump.

A long time ago, Sun Jie saw some up masters on video sites introducing the customs of the old bus or the third brother.

In the fields there, there are still many steam engine pumps left over from the colonial era. These machines have a long history.

The industrial base of the old bus and the third brother is backward, and they are in the fields. I dare not say that there is no maintenance, but it is not bad.

In that environment, it can persist for a hundred years, and there is no reason why it can't be done in the late Ming Dynasty.

Don't choose fuel, most of them are cast iron, simple and strong structure, durable leather, safe and reliable.

He opened his eyes and pressed the cigarette butt in his hand to death in the ashtray.

"That's it. There is no shortage of coal now. It is estimated that the machinery factory is similar now. Let them produce some."

Throwing the spicy strip bag into the trash can next to it, Sun Jie walked out the door.

This is the necessity of building a machinery factory. If you want to build something, you can build it directly, and you don't have to worry about running around.

I drove the pickup truck to the machinery factory. The equipment of the machinery factory was already in place, and it had been working for nearly a month.

For this machinery factory, Sun Jie basically adopts free-range management, providing the funds and handing over the rest to Fan Xiaopeng.

Although the machinery factory has just started, it has received many orders now.

A considerable part was introduced by Liu Jianghe.

Although his project was killed by the above, he is still a dignified university professor and a bigwig in the machinery industry.

Sun Jie's factory is not available for high-end industrial equipment, but not all industrial equipment belongs to the high-end category.

In fact, even some high-tech equipment still has many traditional parts.

These things can be produced by today's machinery factories.

The machinery industry is not quite the same as other industries, and ordinary enterprises are very involved.

If done well, it can also solve the employment problem for a considerable number of people.

Sun Jie is not a fool. When he invested in Liu Jianghe, he naturally saw the hidden value behind him.

Sometimes, if you can't see the value at the moment, it doesn't mean that you have no value.

After all, he is a university professor, after all, he is a tycoon in the machinery industry.

The network has grown, and some orders are introduced casually, which is enough for today's machinery factory.

The pickup truck was parked in the parking lot outside the machinery factory.

There are quite a few vehicles in the parking lot, dozens of cars parked inside.

On the way, I called Fan Xiaopeng, and as soon as I walked out of the parking lot, I saw Fan Xiaopeng waiting at the gate of the factory for a long time.

Seeing Sun Jie walking out of the parking lot, Fan Xiaopeng greeted him enthusiastically.

There are seven or eight people behind him, all of whom are the backbone of the machinery factory today.

Basically, they have met Sun Jie, so they naturally know his identity.

"Brother Sun!"

Fan Xiaopeng stood in front of Sun Jie with a smile, very enthusiastic.

Those backbones behind him also called out Brother Sun.

Sun Jie responded one by one, and then walked forward under the leadership of Fan Xiaopeng.

"Now the factory has a total of more than [-] employees, all equipment is well-equipped, and it is operating normally..."

Fan Xiaopeng walked beside Sun Jie, explaining the scale of the factory in detail.

I have to say that Fan Xiaopeng's ability is not bad, and being able to do this is already pretty good.

Sun Jie nodded and sat in the factory director's office after looking around.

The factory director's office is a place reserved by Fan Xiaopeng for Sun Jie, although Sun Jie is not often there.

The office is very spacious, much bigger than Fan Xiaopeng's office, more than three times bigger.

Sitting on the sofa inside, Sun Jie took the cigarette handed by Fan Xiaopeng.

Taking a breath, he said: "This time, I have some things for you to do.

Now there are technicians in the factory, so there is no need to worry about it. "

"Brother Sun, but follow orders!"

Fan Xiaopeng, who was sitting next to him, had a sincere face without saying a word.

Without Sun Jie, there would be no factory like him. Today's good life is all given by Sun Jie, so what are some demands?
"It's not too complicated. I'm building some steam engine water pumps for a while. The more the better, the better. After I'm done, I'll send them to the yard. I'll use them a lot."

Sun Jie said in a straightforward manner.

"No problem, I will call out several production lines to produce these things with all my strength!" Fan Xiaopeng said with great assurance.

The products of the last century were manufactured casually.

Sun Jie flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, and said: "By the way, we should produce more armor, bows and crossbows, and send them to the yard after we are done."

"OK, no problem!"

Suddenly thought of another thing, Fan Xiaopeng continued: "Brother Sun, the purchase of those firecracker factories has been negotiated, I wonder if Brother Sun will go there?"

"If you have nothing to do now, then go there!" Sun Jie said.

With more and more troops in hand, it is impossible to let Sun Jie do things like bombs all the time, right?

It doesn't matter if the number of people is small, but if there are too many, it is not a simple matter.

Besides, Sun Jie could be exhausted to death just by tossing those huge amounts of gunpowder.

Today, as soon as the firecracker restriction order is issued, the business of firecracker factories in various places is far worse than before, and many firecracker factories are on the verge of closing down.

A few times ago, when Sun Jie returned to modern times, he was keenly aware of this matter.

So, let Fan Xiaopeng contact those firecracker factories that are about to close down and talk about the acquisition.

There are also several firecracker factories in the local area. Their business was very good in the past, but now they are doing poorly.

They discussed some other matters, and then Fan Xiaopeng drove Sun Jie out of the city.

It is far from the urban area, in the wasteland to the north.

After all, the firecracker factory is not another enterprise, and it is dangerous, so it will stay away from densely populated places such as urban areas.

Fan Xiaopeng called the owners of those firecracker factories on the road, and after receiving affirmative answers, he stepped on the accelerator and accelerated away.

Still a little far away, until sunset.

After seven turns and eight turns, he stopped at the door of a factory building.

It's not those well-known brands, it's just a small local factory, and the factory area is not big.

It has been a long time since firecrackers have been produced, and the factory area is slightly depressed.

Several fat middle-aged people stood at the gate, with worries and expectations on their faces.

The wages of the workers have been owed for several months. If the wages cannot be paid again, the workers may eat them up.

"I'm coming!"

A middle-aged man in his forties saw the pickup truck approaching, and hurried up to meet him.

That is a joy, that is a passion, and I wish I could be an offering to my ancestors.

Everyone else has the same expression, and the smile never disappears.

Sun Jie walked out of the car door, Fan Xiaopeng stood in front of him, pointed at Sun Jie, looked at these people, and said, "This is Brother Sun, my boss, and maybe your boss in the future!"

"This is Chen Yicheng, the director of the Big Red Sun Firecracker Factory!"

Point to the most handsome middle-aged man and introduce him to Sun Jie.

Sun Jie stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Brother Sun? I, Sun Jie, came here for cooperation this time."

Chen Yicheng shook hands with Sun Jie, and said with a smile on his face: "Sure enough, a hero born a boy, so young, Boss Sun is really young!"

Hastily took out a box of Huazi and handed one over.

Sun Jie took it, hesitant, "Can this firecracker factory still smoke?"

"Hey, it's about to go bankrupt. I don't have anything, no raw materials, no goods, nothing!" Chen Yicheng looked indifferent!
"Now take Boss Sun around the factory, let's introduce the current situation first!"

With that said, Chen Yicheng led Sun Jie into the factory area.

Whether it is big or small, the factory area is divided into four major areas.

There are four major areas: gunpowder production area, firecracker packaging production area, firecracker loading area, and staff dormitory canteen area.

There have been no orders for a long time, and there are almost no employees in the factory area, and the silence is terrible.

Work has been shut down early, there are no raw materials or anything, except for these people in front of you, there is nothing left.

"Our Big Red Sun Firecracker Factory has been around for [-] years. Although it is not big, it has made a lot of money in previous years.

Later, it cost a lot of money to upgrade the equipment and promote environmental protection. Later, the setting off of firecrackers was restricted, and it suddenly stopped.

Although the factory area is small, it can produce all kinds of firecrackers.Like high-altitude fireworks bombs, thunder in the sky, red carpet, anything.

Firecrackers such as children's toys such as wiping cannons, throwing cannons, and small goldfish can also be produced! "

Chen Yicheng chattered endlessly, detailing everything.

Just like a salesperson trying to sell goods, he is both anxious and enthusiastic.

Turned around and finally stopped at the reception room.

Sitting on the sofa in the reception room, Sun Jie put a cigarette handed over by Chen Yicheng on his finger.

"How is it? What does Boss Sun think?"

Chen Yicheng was a little apprehensive.

Sun Jie took a drag on his cigarette, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip.

"There is nothing wrong with the factory area, but the firecrackers that will be produced in the future must follow my standards." Sun Jie looked at Chen Yicheng.

"Of course, the factory will be owned by Boss Sun from now on. As long as it doesn't go out of the way, it's all up to Boss Sun's arrangement!" Chen Yicheng was afraid that Sun Jie would repent, so he hurriedly expressed his opinion.

Does the firecracker factory have the ability to make bombs?The results are obvious.

The bombs produced are not as good as the standard bombs, but if they are placed in the late Ming Dynasty, they will be enough.

However, Sun Jie is not a reckless man, if he directly asks the firecracker factory to make bombs, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

At that time, several firecracker factories will be purchased, and each firecracker factory will build part of them, and then they will all be pulled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and some people will be hired to assemble them.

To put it a bit taller, this is called modular processing, and to put it bluntly, it is a semi-finished product.

For a grenade, the shell is the shell, the charge is the charge, and the fuze is the fuze.

At that time, they will be transported to the end of Ming Dynasty and assembled according to the process.

Of course, in addition to grenades, Sun Jie also planned to make some equipment similar to grenades.

In fact, it can't be regarded as a grenade, and the principle is similar to the empty thunder that is usually fired.

Just replace the paper tube with a steel tube, extend it by the way, increase the charge, and add some fragments to the paper shell ammunition by the way.

The paper version of Sky Thunder has transformed into a steel version of Sky Thunder.

Ten rings of empty thunder, fifty rings of empty thunder, a hundred rings of empty thunder...

Put it in front of the army formation, if the enemy charges, they can enjoy what is called a hail of bullets.

Regardless of whether he is a slave cavalry or a Tartar cavalry, if you can sustain a volley, I will lose.

The steel version of the Air Thunderbolt can also be manufactured in a modular manner, and the launch tube is handed over to the machinery factory for manufacture, and it does not require rifling or military quality.

The propellant can be wrapped into a cylinder with tissue paper and stuffed directly into it.

Even easier than making regular firecrackers.

The small bomb inside remains the same as the propellant, and finally it is wrapped with a paper shell or cotton cloth covered with fragments.

The range will not be too far, but in the late Ming Dynasty, it is enough.

If the range is not enough, the quantity will make up for it. Hundreds of thousands of empty thunders will fly out at one time.

It is also possible to manufacture air thunder for individual soldiers, and more than a dozen propellant packs and warheads are mounted on the body.

With a sudden change, it became a simple version of the grenade.

When a small army in the field encounters an enemy, it can still fight against the enemy.

There is also the first Congreve rocket used in actual combat in history.

This thing was born out of the old-fashioned rocket in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. It first appeared in 1805. It weighs 14.5 kilograms. The arrow is 1.06 meters long and 0.1 meters in diameter. .

After continuous improvement, the range can reach 4000 meters. There are various models of this rocket, and the charge ranges from one pound to 270 pounds. At the beginning, it mainly used the tail flame to burn and kill the enemy, and later it was equipped with a blasting warhead.

This thing has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, and today's firecracker factories can completely manufacture it.

Modular production process can also be used, the shell is manufactured separately, the charge and fuze inside can also be manufactured separately, and finally assembled together.

"At that time, I will provide you with drawings, and produce according to the drawings I provide.

Don't worry, you won't be allowed to produce any contraband, and there won't be any extravagant requirements! "
