The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 581
I think that when he was in Ningyuan City, Sun Yuanhua was the official of the sixth-rank imperial court.

Gu San's family was nothing more than a lowly craftsman family. At that time, Gu Shanhai didn't even dare to lift his head when he saw Sun Yuanhua kneeling on the ground.

Today's scientists are lifeless. He fell from the clouds into hell and almost lost his life. He was already disheartened, and he dared not refuse when he was dragged by the enthusiastic Gu Shanhai to visit.

Because Sun Yuanhua is now a white body who has been deprived of fame, or a sinner who was sent to Hainan Island, Gu Shanhai is obviously the sixth-rank official of the imperial court, how dare he be disobedient as a sinner.

Of course, Sun Yuanhua didn't know that Gu Shanhai, a sixth-rank civil servant, was appointed by Huang Sheng privately.

This is the essential difference between the Huang family system and the Ming Dynasty. Huang Sheng does not hold prejudices against the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, but it depends on what books everyone has read and whether they are stupid.

The Huang family all read books, and they all read practical books. Now people in the Huang family system know it.Studying hard on the strange and obscene technical books spoken by the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty can also become an official in the Huang family, and the enthusiasm for reading technical books is high.

The former blacksmith was a civil official of the sixth grade. Although the imperial court did not recognize it, the Huang family system recognized it, and they all tried to follow suit.

In Hainan Island, like Gu Shanhai, who was born in a craftsman family, the vast majority of civil servants who do not know the Four Books and Five Classics at all, ranging from the ninth grade to the sixth grade. They are all educated people who graduated from the new school, or went to the adult night school to complete Academically, all have professional knowledge.

The Huang family system does not engage in kneeling and worshiping, and ordinary people only need to cup their fists and salute when they see civil and military officials.

The high-spirited Gu Shanhai finally satisfies his vanity and sense of accomplishment in front of Sun Yuanhua, who used to be like a towering mountain. He introduces the workshops and small blast furnaces that he has put his heart and soul into one by one like a few treasures.

After just following Gu Shanhai for three days, Sun Yuanhua, who had given up his heart, felt itchy again.

He was attracted by too many advanced production techniques, many of which he had fantasized about but unfortunately could not be put into practice due to the huge requirements, and now they all appeared in front of him one by one.

He had conceived how to produce steel plates before, and when he saw the hot-rolling workshop in Hainan Island, he saw a steel plate that was one step wide and three or four steps long and within half an inch in thickness, which immediately opened his eyes.

Hot rolling is a process in which the material needs to be heated during or before rolling to change the shape of the raw material again. Generally, the steel ingot must be heated above the recrystallization temperature.

Between the rollers that rotate up and down relative to each other, the bright red steel ingots and billets are continuously squeezed to become thinner.

To put it simply, the rolled steel plate is the same as the rolling pin rolling noodles. After multiple extrusions and pushes of the rolling pin, the noodles become thinner and thinner. The same is true for steel, and the multiple extrusions of the rolling pin gradually form the steel plate.

The key is that the rolls must have enough weight to generate extrusion force. After the bulky upper and lower rolls squeeze the steel ingot, the prototype of the steel plate will gradually appear. Huang's family can get steel plates below [-]mm.

The craftsmanship that is not worth mentioning in later generations is certainly spectacular in this era without electricity. The workshop for rolling steel plates has a strong workforce of more than a thousand people.

More than a dozen gear sets and chains are required to drive a heavy roll. It is of course inefficient to drive these rows of steel rolls by water power plus manpower and animal power.

Therefore, the output of steel plates cannot increase, and steel plates with a thickness of more than [-] millimeters cannot be produced at all, but this has ushered in a new era. I believe that in the near future, real steel plate warships will roam the world.

Sun Yuanhua soon became enthusiastic about his work, and he was recruited by the arsenal. Gu Shanhai offered a guaranteed salary of five taels of silver per month to hire Sun Yuanhua to work, and also employed the basic monthly salary of one tael and five taels of silver for all of the Sun family. Literate men work.

The Sun family was almost insane after being startled during this period. They came to Yazhou and thought they were just dying. Now they find that this place is not a backcountry at all, but a prosperous place. They have secretly thanked God for their blessings.

Unexpectedly, good things will follow one after another, the whole family can get high-paying jobs, and the master even got his favorite casting design.

At this time, the Sun family all knew that Hainan Island was the territory of the old man's friend "Nan Guogong", and that the old man left his life because of the Huang family's help, and being able to come to Hainan Island was also the intention of "Nan Guogong".

The honest man Sun Yuanhua figured out the ins and outs and was filled with emotions. He knew that his friend's demand for weapons in the South and North Wars would never end. He decided to use his spare heat to improve weapons and fully use his knowledge.

Zhang Tao and Sun Yuanhua were brothers in need. Seeing that Sun Yuanhua and his family were well settled, they couldn't help but take the initiative to seek a job.

In a few days, more than 100 members of his family got jobs. He himself became a canon historian in Changhua County, Yazhou, and took three nephews with good military strength to participate in the management of the city to maintain law and order and arrest bandits, which is equivalent to urban management.

The other two grand masters of Daming County who were dismissed and lost their fame also found errands in the yamen. Many of their family members went to work in factories, and some of them were good farmers. Not high, I rented and planted rice fields and started to tend them.

Zhang Tao, the former commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, was happy to work as an urban administrator in the Huang family system. He lived a carefree life. He had busy things every day. He lived a fulfilling life, and his mental state was actually much better.

Sun Yuanhua, the former governor of the Ming Dynasty, works as a technician in the Hainan Island Armory. He is busy every day, and there are always endless drawings and too many topics that need to be studied.

He is tired but happy. He will pass the test soon and become a cannon designer. It is estimated that he will pass the test again and become a master of cannon design in a short time.

Sun Yuanhua, who was reborn, wrote to his mentor Xu Guangqi, telling him what he saw and heard in Hainan Island and his own situation. Of course, he also expressed his great satisfaction with his current life.

Huang Sheng deliberately ignored Sun Yuanhua and asked him to use his professional knowledge to start as an ordinary designer. I believe that with his level of knowledge and new knowledge of the Huang family system, everyone will be convinced to become a high-level leader of the arsenal in the future.

With Sun Yuanhua, a scientist who is determined to be in charge of product quality in the arsenal, he can call out Gu Shanhai to create a new world in the future.

The grandchildren and nephews of the Sun family are all scholars from the south of the Yangtze River. Now they have no freedom in theory when they settle in Hainan Island. The Huang family gives them freedom and hires them to work. I believe that in time, there will be many technical talents here.
