    Having just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself king, Yang Tiexin was very busy!  In the morning, I had to deal with political affairs, and in addition, I had to go to military schools and universities to inspect the teaching situation; in the afternoon, under the cover of Gang Leader Yang, I went to find a place for retreat with Taoist Master Sun, and continued to practice Taoism; after leaving the retreat, I went to the dock and weapons workshop  After an inspection, he went to the military camp to check on the preparations for the expedition.  Fortunately, for military academies and universities, after years of accumulation, all teaching work has basically been standardized!  All Yang Tiexin has to do is to find faults and find areas for improvement.  In addition, the more important thing is to brush up their presence and let those students know that Yang Tiexin is the president of two universities!  As for practicing Taoism, although he is making progress every day, Yang Tiexin is still a little vague about the concept and purpose of this practice!  At least, Yang Tiexin has reservations about whether he can become an immortal through cultivation!  But there is one advantage that is relatively obvious, that is, after being baptized by Daozhang Sun's blood elixir method, Yang Tiexin's blood power has become much purer!  With strong qi and blood, the whole person's energy and spirit have also been greatly improved!  ¡°Furthermore, Yang Tiexin also discovered that the combination of the blood elixir method and the Yijin Bone Forging Chapter is of great benefit in strengthening the body and assisting in the practice of external skills.  In fact, the tendons in Yijin Tonggu are not just ligaments and tendons, but also the veins and muscles of the human body.  The so-called blue veins are the result of the involvement of veins in the process of exerting force.  Exhaustion refers to the weakness of muscles throughout the body.  "Easy Muscles and Strengthened Bones", after practicing to a certain extent, in addition to tempering the meridians of the human body and exercising tendons, ligaments, and bones, the exercise areas can also be gradually extended to veins and muscles.  "One time when Taoist Sun was running the blood elixir technique in Yang Tiexin's body, Yang Tiexin inadvertently started to use the method of changing muscles and forging bones.  Unexpectedly, the results obtained through this joint cultivation greatly impressed Taoist Master Sun.  Because Yang Tiexin actually tempered Taoist Master Sun's blood elixir vitality into his own veins, and when Taoist Sun used the blood elixir method to refine it again, he found that this vitality was much purer! ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And waits until Yang Tiexin moves the golden elixir technique to operate in Daozhang Sun's body, and when Daozhang Sun operates the method of relaxing the muscles and forging the bones.  It also has the effect of purifying the vitality of the golden elixir.  Not only that, after such quenching and purification, the repulsiveness of the blood elixir vitality and the golden elixir vitality of the two people has also been greatly reduced. Although it is far from the point of milk and water blending, it is no longer as incompatible as it was at the beginning!  I think that as long as the two are compatible after some hard work, there shouldn't be a big problem!  "Compared with the surprises in cultivation, the various military and political constructions on Yingzhou Island appear to be orderly and calm.  Because I am alone overseas.  Therefore, one of the major industries that Yingzhou Island focuses on is shipbuilding!  At present, more than 20 large and small shipyards have been built on Yingzhou Island!  Because of the assembly line industry model, the shipyard on Yingzhou Island is actually just an assembly workshop!  The actual processing and manufacturing of each component is completed in more than a dozen very large factories on the shore!  ??It is not only shipyards that use flow operations, but also various arsenals and various civilian industrial products.  Weapons, armor, soap, soap, various wines, clothes and other industrial products.  All are correspondingly decomposed into a series of processes of varying degrees, thereby realizing flow operations.  Greatly improve production efficiency.  Take the construction of warships as an example. It takes three months to half a year for a general shipyard to produce a large warship!  As for assembly line operations, once the craftsmanship is proficient, it only takes five to ten days to complete the assembly!  Small and medium-sized warships will be even faster!  Of course, this must have a prerequisite.  That is, various supporting factories can supply corresponding parts in time!  Otherwise, once one of the facilities cannot keep up, the overall project will be delayed.  Now that more than 20 shipyards and a dozen parts processing factories on Yingzhou Island are operating at full capacity, one or two large warships are launched on Yingzhou Island every day.  There are even more small and medium-sized ships!  Although the number is large, there is no revolutionary change in the quality of the Yingzhou Island warships.  The main body of the ship is still made of wood, but there are a few longitudinal iron bars attached to the keel, the collision angle of the bow is wrapped with iron knots, and the vital parts of the hull are also reinforced with iron plates!  It can be called an incomplete armored warship!  In terms of power, large ocean-going ships still use a combination of wind power and artificial rotation; small and medium-sized ships are mainly steamships, and of course they are also artificial!  As for a bug-level thing like a steam engine, Yang Tiexin just regarded it as a long-term scientific research project and assigned it to the craftsmen and students of the School of Engineering!  At present, it seems that these guys have not produced any research results yet!  After all, YangI am not very clear about this thing, I just told everyone the basic principles!  Other various weapons and armor workshops have also improved their efficiency a lot due to assembly operations, but that's all.  With Yang Tiexin¡¯s chemistry level, he is currently unable to guide everyone in upgrading iron-making technology to steel-making technology.  However, steelmaking requires processes such as carbon removal and sulfur removal, and Yang Tiexin still knows a little about it.  So, Yang Tiexin gave some random explanations and arranged this steelmaking technology as a key scientific research project!  Under Yang Tiexin¡¯s kind care, the formula of black powder was finally improved to perfection!  In fact, this thing is also simple. The key is the optimal proportion of sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter. This only needs to be determined repeatedly through experiments!  Similarly, the development of firearms has also made some progress.  In fact, equipping firearms was not an idea initiated by Yang Tiexin!  The army of the Song Dynasty had already been equipped with firearms!  As early as when Taizu of the Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, artillery was used in the Battle of Jinling. Later, the emperors of the Song Dynasty also vigorously developed firearms technology.  At present, the Song army has begun to be equipped with artillery, muskets, rockets and other powerful weapons!  This is also an important factor why the Song Dynasty has not been destroyed so far!  It¡¯s just that the concepts of rockets, muskets, and artillery in the Song Dynasty are slightly different from those of later generations!  The firing principle of the artillery of the Song Dynasty is the same as that of later generations, but they are all solid bullets!  And there is no precise measurement when launching, everything depends on the gunner's feeling!  In addition, the range of the artillery is also relatively limited.  As for the rocket, it is certainly not the kind of rocket that applies ballistics and aerodynamics technology in later generations.  Instead, an iron pipe was tied to the shaft of the bow and arrow, which contained gunpowder and an iron block used as a bullet.  Before shooting an arrow, you have to manually light the fuse on the iron pipe!  This thing, speaking figuratively, is a bit like an arrow carrying a semi-automatic bullet!  ??And the Song Army¡¯s sudden muskets are not rifles or pistols.  But a real gun!  An iron gun head is installed on the Zhanger wooden pole, and an iron pipe is also tied to the front end of the gun pole, which is also filled with gunpowder and iron blocks similar to bullets!  It seems that it also needs to be detonated manually before launching!  And it¡¯s a one-time use too!  Even so, when the two armies are facing each other, and when they are about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, suddenly shooting such a bullet at the enemy can have the effect of striking out the troops and winning by surprise.  In addition, the Song Army is also equipped with another killer weapon, the so-called thunder!  This thing is roughly similar to the grenade of later generations.  It's just a little rough on the technical level!  These firearms can be said to be great weapons in the Song Dynasty army, and they also played a great role in foreign battles!  But in Yang Tiexin's opinion, the workmanship was too rough, and it seemed a bit like a waste of natural resources.  Yang Tiexin¡¯s idea is naturally to create a real musket!  With the Song Army's muskets and rockets as reference, and Yang Tiexin's guidance from time to time, the musket development work on Yingzhou Island was carried out in an orderly manner.  A prototype gun was quickly developed and successfully tested!  But something went wrong during the industrialization process!  That is because the manufacturing technology is not precise enough!  As a result, the errors between the various gun parts produced are too large.  It is difficult to assemble perfectly and the scrap rate is high.  In addition, the precise manufacturing of bullets is also a problem!  Due to insufficient accuracy, the bullet cannot perfectly fit the barrel of the gun. Either the bullet is too small, which affects the power and accuracy, or it is too big to fit into the barrel of the gun!  Anyway.  A lot of trouble!  With no other choice, Yang Tiexin had to settle for the next best thing and let the workshop build a cannon with slightly lower accuracy requirements first!  As for the muskets, only a part of them were carefully crafted by hand and used to arm the personal guards of Gang Leader Yang Ying and Yang Tiexin.  Other troops were temporarily postponed.  Let¡¯s wait until the teachers and students from the School of Engineering develop precise measurement and precision manufacturing technology!  Today, I gave some guidance in the firearms camp factory, and then discussed with the craftsmen the feasibility of precision manufacturing. By the time Yang Tiexin left the arsenal and returned to his home, it was already the end of the moon.  "Huh?" Just after returning to the house, Yang Tiexin couldn't help but be stunned, because there were so many more people at home!  Three Taoists from the Quanzhen Sect, elders from the Beggar Clan, my cheap aunt, several major elders from the Heavenly King Clan, and five male creatures from the Seven Jiangnan Monsters were all present.  "You stupid boy, where have you been fooling around and why are you back now?" Seeing Yang Tiexin coming back so late, Gang Leader Yang Ying, who claimed to be half a master, couldn't help but scolded.  Yang Tiexin naturally cannot neglect this cheap aunt.He hurriedly and respectfully replied, "To talk to my aunt, nephew, I went to the Beiying workshop and discussed the weapon manufacturing issues with the craftsmen. Some things were delayed!" "Humph! It's not your fault!  I¡¯m busy with business, so I¡¯ll let you off this time!¡± ¡°Today is your first day as King of Yingzhou. Taoist priest Qiu and the others have come to meet you for a drink to express their congratulations. Go and change your clothes quickly!  , come and entertain the guests!" "Strange, didn't you just finish drinking it yesterday?  Why are you still drinking today?  Moreover, this number of people seems to be too many, right?  In the past, Taoist Wang, Elder Huang and others never took the initiative to participate in banquets, right?  Why did you suddenly come to see Yang for a drink today?  Weird!  Weird!  When he was suspicious, Yang Tiexin was already being carried to the backyard by Bao Xiruo and Li Anxin.  Arriving in the backyard, Yang Tiexin was even more strange!  "Where's Yaya? Why don't you see her coming out to greet me? Where are Erya and little girl Dugu? And Kang'er and Jing'er, why don't you see either of them?" "Oh, my husband said Yaya and the others? Little girl Dugu is practicing sword practice.  Shi accidentally sprained her body, and Yaya and Erya were accompanying her! Jing'er and Kang'er were practicing too hard today. When Sister Bao saw that her husband hadn't come back so late, she asked Sister Guo to arrange for them to rest!  " "Oh" Although the reason seemed a bit far-fetched, it was said by his concubine after all. Yang Tiexin didn't think much about it and allowed his two wives to drag them back into the house and tidy up inside and outside.  Then he turned around and rushed out to the front hall, dressed neatly.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
