    Seeing everyone's eagerness, Ye Tianheng enjoyed it very much. He stroked his beard and burst into laughter, then said: "Little friend, this method is not difficult, it is very simple. To make the kiln turn around, you have to  Use water power. I think this workshop must still be built on the bank of the Wei River."

    "I've thought about using water power, but water power may not be able to move it." Chen Wanrong didn't agree with his idea.

    "Yes! Brother Ye, water power is good, but there must be a limit. Something like a shaft kiln is so big that water power cannot carry it." Kou Yibing also objected.

    Ye Tianheng chuckled and said: "This is my second method. The water power is not strong enough to move overly large things. Therefore, I think this kiln does not need to be too big, as long as the water power can move it."

    As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Ye Tianheng, with no words of admiration or objection, only to size him up.

    The method does not depend on whether it is clever or not, but on whether it can be used.  This method is not difficult at all. As long as you think about it, you can think of it, but it is very applicable and suitable for the Tang Dynasty.  We need to make 10,000 kilograms of cement. If I can¡¯t meet the requirement with just one kiln, how about a few more kilns?

    After a while, everyone cheered in unison: "Yes, this is what we should do!"

    "Wait!" Chen Wanrong was extremely excited and said: "Master Ye, this kiln has to change. I don't want a vertical kiln, I want a rotary kiln. This is what a rotary kiln is like!"

    ?? Previously, Chen Wanrong chose a vertical kiln because it was difficult to solve the problem of power.  Now, after Ye Tianheng's explanation, power is no longer a problem, and there is no problem with the rotary kiln. Can Chen Wanrong not be excited?

    Regardless of Ye Tianheng¡¯s reaction, he picked up the charcoal and started drawing. After a while, the rotary kiln drawing was completed.

    The rotary kiln is a horizontal cylinder with a slope. It looks very simple in appearance. After Chen Wanrong finished painting, he mentioned the things that need to be paid attention to. Ye Tianheng laughed and said: "Don't worry, little friend, it's hard to be old!"  My friend, I want to try this first rotary kiln to see how it works. Although I can¡¯t help but I still have to practice. I can make it in about a month. Whether it works or not is another matter.  Just let me practice my skills well."

    The requirements for the first rotary kiln do not need to be too high, as long as it can be used.  It doesn't matter even if it can't be used. Ye Tianheng has to get familiar with it. There is still plenty of time. Chen Wanrong nodded and said: "Then there is Master Lao Ye."

    Liu Huaide took over the conversation and said: "Master Ye has spoken, and I am relieved. However, General Chen, you have to choose the workshop first and build it first."

    Kou Yibing added: "The workshop must be built in advance. There is another more important thing, that is, the layout of the workshop must be well thought out and cannot be messed up. We must make a careful calculation."

    Construction requires drawings. Chen Wanrong could only explain the main things clearly. The drawings had to be handled by Kou Yibing and others. He smiled and said: "Then I'll help you all."

    Kou Yibing thought for a moment and said, "It will take us three to five days to complete all of this."

    "Time is not a problem. Let's do some research before we discuss it." Chen Wanrong knew that this matter was urgent and could not rush it. He changed the subject and said: "This machine tool can be used now, but how do you test the things you made? This requires a  I have an idea for a tool, can you guys see if it can be used?"

    After finishing speaking, I drew a tool with charcoal. It was none other than the most commonly used testing tool in modern machining: the vernier caliper!

    Chen Wanrong has used vernier calipers countless times, and he can't make mistakes even with his eyes closed.  After drawing, explain to them how to use it and ask: "Can this thing be made?"

    ¡°Perhaps the measurement units used in the vernier calipers made by the Tang Dynasty are not modern units. This does not matter, even if it is a ruler, as long as it can be detected and used.

    Now that the machine tool can be used, it can be said that the era of machining has arrived!  If there are no suitable testing tools, can it still be called the era of machining?  Vernier calipers, a tool that Chen Wanrong is familiar with, became the first choice.  As for more advanced detection tools, we will talk about it later.

    This time, everyone¡¯s eyes were not focused on Ye Tianheng, but on Kou Yibing, because Kou Yibing was the best at testing tools in the weapons inspection.

    Kou Yibing did not speak, but looked at the graphics for a while, thinking about it, and finally nodded: "It can be done! However, the first one may not be accurate! You have to do more to make the most suitable one."

    Practice makes perfect!  As long as it can be made, accurate detection tools will be no problem, and Chen Wanrong is relieved.

    This explanation took a lot of time, but Ye Tianheng and the others gained a lot. Not only did they know what cement is, but also what cement hasIf you are slack, you can only strengthen!  In this campaign against Tibet, if our military discipline was not in good order, we would not be able to get the support of the Tibetan people, and we would not be able to achieve such a great victory!  Good military discipline is the guarantee of whether an army can defeat the enemy!  "

    "General, please don't worry, we will abide by military discipline!" Everyone assured in unison.

    After explaining these things, Chen Wanrong then explained the new artillery tactics: "Artillery is very powerful. You all know this, so I won't say more. In this campaign against Tibet, artillery played an extremely important role.  , however, artillery is mainly used to attack fortresses and to attack the dangerous passes of Tibet. In the decisive battle, artillery is used as a surprise force, rather than as the main force to engage in head-on confrontation with the Tibetan army. What is the reason?

    "The reason is that we only have thirty-five artillery pieces! If the thirty-five artillery pieces are used in a head-on confrontation in a decisive battle with nearly 300,000 troops, they will not have much effect. Because the number is too small!

    "It's different now. We have two hundred ready-made artillery pieces, and there will be more in the future. I made a preliminary estimate that by the coming spring, there will be not one thousand, but seven or eight hundred artillery pieces. With so many artillery pieces, it can be used as  It¡¯s a head-on confrontation. You can imagine what the result would be if our artillerymen and crossbowmen set up their positions and hit the enemy head-on when they charge."

    Is there any need to think about it?  Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened up, like the red sun hanging high in the sky.

    Liu Fuqing concluded: "The advantages of artillery compared to crossbows mainly lie in two aspects. One is that our range is close to five miles, while the crossbow is less than one mile. The second is that artillery is more powerful. With these two points,  We can effectively kill the enemy from a long distance, and if hundreds or even thousands of artillery are concentrated to exert their power, it will definitely shake the mountains and the earth, and the heaven and earth will be eclipsed!"

    These words were so inspiring that everyone clenched their fists involuntarily, eager to kill the enemy right away.

    Chen Wanrong nodded and said: "With more artillery and a larger scale of artillery, the use will be different! Attacking fortresses is still the responsibility of our artillery, and we cannot let it go. However, we should put more  The energy should be spent on head-on confrontations, and we should let the brothers know that so many artillery arrays are no different from crossbowmen, cavalry, and heavy infantry. We can also engage in head-on confrontations!"

    The use of artillery has been different, the tactics have changed, and a new model of war is about to emerge!  The change of human war has begun!

    This is the true meaning of artillery!  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author and support genuine reading!) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
