Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 281 Assembly line work method!
A thousand suits of armor!

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Zhuge Jin and the others felt dazed for a while.

Even the master craftsmen of Jiangzuo Academy were stupefied.

If Yuan Tan said [-] sets, even say [-] sets.

Jiang Zuoyuan's master craftsmen are rushing to work day and night, gritting their teeth, and they can still get this number in a month.

But Yuan Tan said a thousand things, this is not a task that can be completed day and night!

Even if there is a water hammer to turn the car, it is an unrealistic goal!
So after Yuan Tan opened his mouth, all the master craftsmen in the General Academy lowered their heads and dared not answer.

For a while, the atmosphere in the workshop became awkward. Jiang Qi was worried that Yuan Tan would not be able to get off the stage, so he hurried out and said:

"Your Honor, the water hammer transfer car has just been built, and the craftsmen are not yet familiar with how to operate it. Qianjia's goal is set too high. Why don't we wait until the masters are familiar with it, and then slowly raise the standard?"

As soon as Jiang Qi opened his mouth, Xun Yu, Zhuge Jin and others also relaxed their expressions.

They all felt that Qian Jia's goal was Yuan Tan's youthful vigor, and his share.

But they also understood that, after all, as far as they knew, the water hammer turn was designed by Yuan Tan.

Seeing that the efficiency of the train transfer designed by him is so amazing, in a moment of excitement, he said Qian Jia's goal.

Although it is difficult for some strong people, it is also a unique impulse of young people, and it is not difficult to understand.

And no matter it is Xun Yu or Chen Deng, even the youngest Zhuge Jin is an old man who is best at smoothing things out.

Everyone stood up and spoke.

Seeing everyone's suggestions, Yuan Tan smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, General Jiang Qi, and all the masters, I said that Qian Jia is not impulsive, but has a long-term plan."

Saying that, Yuan Tanxing stepped forward, but told Jiang Qi:
"General Jiang Qi, why don't we start preparations now? Behind the water hammer workshop, there should be a blacksmith workshop already built."

Jiang Qi nodded, but said with a look of embarrassment:
"Your Majesty, this is the end of the story. You may not like to hear it, but One Thousand Armors is really too difficult for the masters."

Looking at the craftsmen who also looked worried and apprehensive, Yuan Tan knew that if he didn't speak clearly, these people might not feel at ease in the next work.

Immediately said with a smile:

"Forget it, since that's the case, let's do it this way. Let's experiment later. If my method can reach the goal of thousands of armors per month, then we will set this routine. How about the target of the five hundred armors of the month?"

Hearing that Yuan Tan finally let go, the expressions of the craftsmen present and Jiang Qi finally calmed down.

Along with Yuan Tan, they walked into the blacksmith workshop behind.

"In the past, masters, how many processes and manpower did they often have to go through to create a piece of armor?"

Yuan Tan cut straight to the point, without any nonsense, and directly called Lin Laoji, the master craftsman who is best at making armor.

Lin Laolan hurried forward and said respectfully:

"Hui Junhou, before there is no water hammer to turn the car, the armor generally needs to be forged first, and then hammered into pieces of iron plates, and then divided and polished according to the size of the iron plates and the shape of the armor."

When it comes to his professional field, Lin Lao's waist straightened a little unconsciously, and the timid posture on his face disappeared, and he continued:
"The most troublesome process is the forging of iron plates. Without the water hammer turning car designed by Junhou, it would take more than ten days just to forge the iron plate hammer. Even if they are all done by skilled craftsmen, at least It is said that it will take seven or eight days."

Listening to Lin Laolan's words, Yuan Tan finally understood the manufacturing process of a suit of armor.

It was somewhat different from what he expected before, according to Lin Laozi.

To make a suit of armor, the iron material must first be tempered, and the iron ore dug out of the mine should be hammered into iron blocks.

This skill requires the cooperation of three to five craftsmen, watching the furnace day and night, and it takes about two days to temper enough iron materials for three sets of armor.

Then, five to seven craftsmen hammer the iron material in turn until the iron material is hammered into shape, and then cut and weave.

The final cutting and weaving work varies from person to person. If an apprentice is used, it will take about three days.

If a skilled craftsman is used, it can be made in about two days.

It took half a month to make a set of armor, which is a relatively safe estimate.

But now, with the new weapon of water hammer turning, Lin Laoji estimates that a set of armor can be made in seven days at most, and if all are skilled, a set of armor can be made in five days.

The whole process requires twenty craftsmen, including at least two skilled craftsmen and ten apprentices.

This is because, after the water hammer transfer, the conventional armor produced in Xuzhou is different from the conventional armor in the past.

In the past, iron armor was forged by hand. The handmade armor of this era cannot be called ingenuity.

Compared with the iron armor tempered by the water hammer turning car, the craftsmanship is much rougher and more brittle.

There is an iron hammer weighing more than 600 jin, and the iron plate is hammered. No matter in quality or thickness, it exceeds the conventional armor currently in use in the world.

Naturally, more effort will be spent on subsequent cutting and other work.

There are thousands of craftsmen in the craftsman camp. According to Yuan Tan's previous classification, there are about [-] apprentice craftsmen, [-] experienced craftsmen, and fifty craftsmen above the third level.

According to this estimate, within five days, the water hammer workshop will be operating at full capacity, and the entire workshop will work together to produce about a hundred sets of conventional armor.

One month's output is [-] sets of armor.

This number has already surpassed half of the monthly output of the entire six prefectures in Hebei!

But for Yuan Tan, this number is not enough!

Even when he said Thousand Sets of Armor, he was talking less!
It's just that seeing is believing, Yuan Tan didn't want to explain too much, but directly ordered, saying:

"I roughly understand Master Lin's explanation. In this way, we will first select 150 craftsmen, including [-] apprentices and [-] journeymen, and start making armor here."

After Qi Hou gave the order, the generals in the courtyard naturally obeyed. Soon, they followed Yuan Tan's instructions and gathered their troops to report to the blacksmith workshop.

Looking at the apprehensive craftsmen below, Yuan Tan gave them a reassuring smile, but did not let them start working, but grouped them first.

"There are ten furnaces behind the blacksmith workshop. Forty of you are responsible for making iron. Each group of four corresponds to one furnace. Each person is in charge of half a day, day and night. They take turns taking care of the blast furnace and are responsible for smelting iron."

Yuan Tan first selected forty apprentices and sent them to the back of the blacksmith's workshop, where they immediately began to smelt iron.

Then, Yuan Tan selected another forty apprentices and sent them to the water hammer transfer car.

"You 40 people are responsible for taking care of the water hammer transfers. Each group of two will rotate once a day, day and night, to ensure that there are no transfers."

After speaking, Yuan Tan turned his attention to the remaining seventy apprentices.

"Among you, another 20 people will be selected to be responsible for transporting iron materials and hammered iron plates. They will also be in groups of two, and they will rotate every day, day and night."

"The remaining 50 people are responsible for cutting the plates. This job is simple. Although you are apprentices, it is enough to handle it. Similarly, every group of five people is divided into ten groups, and they are rotated once a day, day and night."

"As for the remaining [-] skilled craftsmen, they are responsible for splicing the armor leaves, polishing the armor pieces, and completing the final armor-making process."

Yuan Tan's words are very plain and straightforward, even if these craftsmen have not read books, they can all hear clearly.

Immediately nodded in agreement:
"understand!"
