Zhuge Zhi originally thought that Li Su did not understand technology, so this was not prejudice, nor did she wrongly accuse Li Su.

Because Li Su really cannot develop an engineering technology himself and implement it to the point where it can be applied directly. He is a liberal arts student, and he only has a grasp of the general direction and knowledgeable knowledge.

As I said, he is an excellent party to ask for needs, and it requires the cooperation of many designers of Party B. He can't tell how to develop a new machine, but after Party B gave him a plan, he could instantly say, "This is exactly the plan I don't want, and you still have to rectify it."

But if this wrong example is not provided to criticize him and let him talk about how to design it out of nothing, he will also be fooled.

Zhuge Liang and his brothers have undoubtedly been Li Su's party B in the past few years. Although they have suffered hardships and have gone through detours, their returns are also very large. At least they never have to worry about "not knowing which direction to work hard to improve the design draft."

This time, after communicating with Li Su, Zhuge Zhi quickly found the direction.

She didn't care about her superiority and lacked consciousness. She pulled Li Su to leave supper in Zhuge's workshop and discussed her ideas for the afternoon. The improvement of the machine may take several months to slowly produce it, but at least she will sort out the process and build it clearly.

In just one afternoon, Zhuge Zhi roughly thought about how to build a cotton-furnished workshop in Zhuge's cotton spinning workshop in the future, a cotton-combed workshop, a spinning workshop, a cloth-woven workshop... What is the roughly what the capital resource investment ratio and labor resource investment ratio are needed for each link.

As for what kind of technical indicators the improved machine needs to achieve, she has also set all the requirements so that other supporting links can be moved first.

This is very rare, because even when Zhuge Liang was engaged in R&D, he would do the things first, and after he made them, he would know how efficient it was. Zhuge Zhi actually set the R&D goals first. Li Su had never seen this kind of project ability of "R&D management" when he came to the end of the Han Dynasty. She and Li Su held a "project establishment meeting".

Li Su couldn't help but be amazed: I didn't expect that this woman is quite business-oriented. Although her R&D ability is weaker than Zhuge Liang, her ability to organize and dispatch resources is really strong. Could it be that she has been exploring and practicing for more than two years in business? It is not surprising that she can practice this ability with hundreds of millions of funds every year.

Although Zhuge Liang was smart and could also make tricks on gadgets, he was really not sensitive to making money. Zhuge Jin was good at civil affairs, but he could not do this level if he had to organize production and scheduling resources.

The Zhuge family already has at least three talents.

Unfortunately, Zhuge Zhi was born in the wrong era. If she went to future generations, she would definitely become a strong career woman who dominated the business world.

"There must be loyal and trustworthy in the ten households. Today, it's a pity." Li Suqing couldn't help but sighed during dinner.

This sentence is from "The Analects of Confucius. Gongye Chang" and belongs to Ziyue.

Zhuge Zhi had also read books, and Li Su whispered in a low voice. Of course she could understand and couldn't help feeling uneasy: "Eunuch, but what else is missing in what I planned just now?"

Li Su replied thoughtfully: "Oh, no, don't be too careful. I just sigh that a virtuous girl is a woman, and she has such a talent for scheduling. If it were a man, I would be able to show his strengths if he was in politics and was responsible for the logistics and military scheduling of the Northern Expedition Army."

In history, Yang Yi, the chief secretary who provided Zhuge Liang with the logistics coordination of money and grain for Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, is probably at this level. If Zhuge Zhi was a man, he had the experience of training in recent years, he would not be able to be a logistics chief secretary.

Zhuge Zhi was very satisfied with her situation: "So what about being a female? She is not an official in business. I have been in business for several years and feel that she can show her strengths and is not restricted by her family. Isn't it beautiful to do it as long as I want? Why do you have to regret me?"

She thought Li Su was regretting that she was unable to become an official as a woman, but she didn't know that Li Su felt that women could create more easily in future generations, even in business.

Li Su smiled and said that this matter could not be explained, so he stopped talking. He changed the topic: "Indeed, I was the one who was bound by it. In the pre-Qin period, Ba Qing was a woman who was a rich merchant in the world and could also get the experience of the First Emperor's title of king and the ritual of marquis.

Today, the chaos in the United States is in full swing. We must completely revive the Han Dynasty, not only to be loyal to the civil and military, but also to support wealth, goods and weapons. In the ordinary days, those merchants are not allowed to pay attention to the situation of winning over, but now it is also possible to completely improve."

Ba Qing was the great merchant "Ba Widow Qing" during the Qin Shihuang. After the reform of the Qin State, the 20th grade title was established to reward farming wars, so there were originally two ways to grant title titles. One was that soldiers were killed on the battlefield and the other was that civilians actively paid taxes and donated grain to pay titles.

Therefore, the Chinese tradition of selling official positions has actually existed in ancient times. After Shang Yang, the Qin people did this. Of course, at the beginning, Qin only "selled titles" rather than "selling official positions", that is, giving treatment but not actual positions. From the word "selling" in the word "selling", it can be seen that there is a porridge above and a pot below, which refers to donating military rations to the country. During the Qin Shihuang, a great merchant of the level of Ba Widow Qing could donate hundreds of thousands of stones of military ration to help the country fight, and could buy Chehou directly.

Zhuge Zhi was very helpful. I felt that the Lord understood her very well and supported her career. She was much better than that old-fashioned brother Zhuge Jin.

She also said to the point of reciprocity: "If you have time, you can stay for a little more than one or two days to see all the workshops in our house and give some advice. In addition, the reason why we can keep all the water trucks idle this winter is that in addition to changing to spinning, there are other adjustments. If you are interested, you can take a look at them."

Li Su put down the teacup and said curiously: "Oh? What other improvements are there? I didn't notice it for a while."

Zhuge Zhi organized a speech: "That thing is a bit long to say. It was also the idea that Zhang Yi, the general who was just promoted to the Zuo Academy Chief, was discussed with his brother about the "overcapacity of water trucks"."

Zhuge Zhi said this and paused for a moment, observing Li Su's reaction to confirm whether Li Su is familiar with the official Zhang Yi. If she is not familiar with her, she will introduce her a few words.

Zhang Yi was a local scholar from Yizhou, 30 years old this year. In history, he was the magistrate of Yufu County under Liu Zhang, and was engaged in the military commander of Yizhou and the governor of Sima of the state. Later, he followed Liu Bei and took charge of the forging of weapons and agricultural tools in the entire Shu area.

In this life, Zhang Yi saved up the experience of serving Liu Zhang. As soon as he was elected as a filial and honest Liu Yan, he was finished. He directly served Liu Bei, starting from a grassroots civil affairs officer. After working for more than three years, he soon showed his talent in supervising the construction and management of workers. Therefore, after Li Su later submitted the business of "hydraulic forging hammers forging cavalry breastplate" to Liu Bei, Liu Bei also assigned this matter to Zhang Yi for management.

The reason why Li Su was given the direct administration of Liu Bei and personally selected the person was because he was afraid of being suspicious, so he would not personally take charge of military manufacturing enterprises. He only had the money-making business for civilians. It was precisely because of this that Li Su and Zhang Yi had no interaction in recent years, and kept saying that "Zhang Yi was promoted by the king himself, and it had nothing to do with me."

Zhang Yi did a good job. Before the Northern Expedition, he provided Zhao Yun's cavalry with more than 5,000 sets of steel forged breastplate, and managed well in terms of efficiency, production capacity, and material loss, which was deeply trusted by Liu Bei. He was promoted to Zuo Xuecheng.

The Han Dynasty court center had a "general master craftsman", which evolved from the Qin Dynasty's "general young mansion", which was only half a level lower than the genuine Shao mansion among the nine ministers, with a rank of two thousand stones. Since Qin, he has been in charge of the imperial engineering construction and state-owned industrial production.

Only the central government can set up "a great craftsman" in the center, but there are seven subordinate officials below, the chief is the school dictator, the rank is the school dictator, the rank is the school dictator, and the adjutant is the school dictator, and the rank is the school dictator, and the rank is the school dictator. Since Emperor Ling's death, the princes will set up their own generals as school dictator/secretary to take charge of their own arsenal and shipyard.

Of course, Li Su knew about Zhang Yi's situation, so he gestured to Zhuge Zhi to continue talking without explanation.

Zhuge Zhi understood it: It turned out that the envoy pretended not to interact with Zhang Zuoxiao in order to avoid suspicion.

She said, "It was autumn. My brother saw that the water trucks were overcapacity. In Dujiangyan, Shu County, there was no wire to reel in winter. The water trucks in Leshanyan, Jianwei County are still being built, and the new water trucks are even more idle. My brother discussed with Zhang Xiaocheng to see if he had other military needs and wanted to use more production capacity.

He said that he could allocate more production capacity in winter, so he also thought about how to match the water truck with two sets of equipment in the back section, which is used to forge weapons in the slack season in winter, and switch back to focus on silkworms when harvesting in summer and autumn."

Li Su nodded secretly after hearing this. It seemed that Zhuge Jin had done a lot of work to adjust production capacity, save and give full play to the people's strength before he intervened. It was already a very smart and diligent behavior to schedule and configure according to the seasonal capacity demand of the military industry and civilian industries.

It would be great if the graphics card manufacturers in later generations could work so hard, and use the surplus production capacity to produce more graphics cards during the mine crash, and wait for the mine tide to ensure supply and sell it to players, and civilian mining was both good. It can be seen that Huang Renxun is not as human as Zhuge Jin.

Li Su asked curiously: "How did Zhang Yi adjust it later? Did he need to use more water trucks to forge weapons during the slack season? Or did he come up with some new weapons?"

Zhuge Zhi thought about it, called her maid over, gave a few instructions, and asked the maid to come over with some semi-finished metal products, and then introduced it to Li Su and said:

"Zhang Xiaocheng was very diligent. After he heard that he could allocate several times the water wheel for forging in winter, he thought about the excellent weapons that really needed more forging power and could strive for excellence. Then he had an idea to use the forging method of the fish scale armor used by generals today to use the steel breastplate forging with a water hammer to form the armor sheet at one time.

However, after trying, he found that it was not easy to mass-produce fish scale armor, because even if the armor leaves are forged with hydraulic forging hammers, the forging speed of the armor leaves is only significantly improved. Each armor leaf also needs to be manually drilled with awls, and sewed with tough twine pendants to form fish scale armor.

Therefore, the army cannot arrange much more blacksmiths to drill holes in the armor sheets than before, and the total demand for fish scale armor cannot increase much, nor can it be built. In turn, too many water trucks can not be used to forge production capacity.

Later, Zhang Xiaocheng seemed to be rewarding craftsmen and brainstorming. Everyone worked together to figure out a new idea: they wanted to see if they could use a water hammer to forge and form a special-shaped armor piece at one time, with hook corners. Each piece had exactly the same shape, and they could be forged in one hammer, and then the hook corners were used to fit each other between the armor piece, eliminating the losses of drilling holes and sewing overlapping with twine.

If it can be finally made and its defense effect is not inferior to that of fish scale armor, then it can be used to not rely on hole-punching craftsmen. There are so many waterwheels that can forge the armor in large quantities. Find some ordinary workers who are not very skilled, be responsible for the final splicing and insertion, and then use a small hammer to smash the flat seam and peel the surface of the lining to penetrate it."

When Li Su heard this, he suddenly felt happy: Isn’t this Shan Wenjia, who has just matured in Song and Ming?

He later saw UP hosts showing off things like Shan Wenjia in forced stations and on Douyin, and knew how it was made.

If Shanwen Jia is well done, its defense will definitely not be worse than the fish scale armor, and it can also take into account the flexibility of the fish scale armor. Moreover, each armor leaf of Shanwen Jia is bidirectionally integrated with adjacent armor leaves. There is no need to have the armor leaf turn outward, and the cracks of the hemp threads are pierced by swords and guns cut against the armor, resulting in the problem of the armor leaf being picked and fell off.

In terms of production, the biggest advantage of Shanwenjia is that it does not need to punch holes in each armor leaf or sew.

The disadvantage is that if the arbor molding mold is not designed well, it is easy to cause the main body of the arbor to be too thick and cannot be fastened to each other.

Either the armor pieces are too small, and although they can be clamped against each other, the gaps left are too large, so that the defense power drops to a level similar to the chain mail. The gaps may be stabbed by the sharp edges of the arrows, or small nails on the needles, spear tips, and maces take advantage of the situation.

It can be said that the key to whether Shanwenjia is successful lies in the "die opening". Only when the stamping mold is well opened can we take into account the defense is stronger than the fish scale armor, and the production process also saves two processes than the fish scale armor.

Li Su hurriedly asked, "Has Zhang Yi made it? His idea is pretty good."

Zhuge Zhi showed him a small box in front of him, which contained dozens of samples of armor leaves, some of which were embedded together, and it seemed that the strength of pulling each other was indeed good.

When Li Su saw it, he said regretfully: "I haven't learned this Geometry well! He should ask A Liang for advice. The mold is opened like this, and the button is buckled, which is not suitable for the seam. Just this herringbone triangle iron hook like the 'plane caltrop' is also called a nail piece? The finished seam made is larger than the chain mail, and the bladder can easily shoot two inches deep from the seam. Forget it, I'm waiting for this, and go to Jianwei to see how he opened the mold."
