Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 277 Rubber Products
"Isn't that nonsense? I also want a life-saving means that can kill even land gods. Naturally, I want a weapon like this."

Liu Rufeng looked like it was natural.

"Lu Hao, you brag so fiercely, do you really have such a powerful weapon?"

Liu Ruxu was deeply skeptical.

"Yes, there is. However, it cannot be manufactured now. When these basic industries develop in the future and a special research institute is established, it should be possible to manufacture it."

Lu Hao explained with a smile.

"Wait a minute, what foundation are you talking about? What industry? What other institutes? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Liu Rufeng immediately grasped the key point.

"That... is a bit complicated. Let's talk about it later when we have time."

Lu Hao hesitated.

"No, just tell us. This girl likes what you said about Barre..."

Liu Ruxu pulled him and started to act like a baby.

"I like it too. I've been playing with this general for a long time."

Xuanyuan Lingyu also came to join in the fun.

"Didn't I tell you that we can't make it for the time being? Don't waver..."

Lu Hao shouted for mercy.

This is a man full of mystery.

Liu Rufeng only hoped that she was not following the wrong person.

Of course, if she was given such a magical and powerful army, she would also want to become famous all over the world and conquer all directions.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Prime Minister!"

Two adults, Liu Zhihong and Peng Weiqiang, hurried over, followed by Situ Tianyin and others.

They basically regard this place as their base camp now.

Of course, the most important thing is the match factory, which has begun mass production, and this business has made Tianyin Pavilion make a lot of money every day.

"Everyone from Tianyin Pavilion pays homage to the Prime Minister!"

Situ Tianyin came over with a smile.

"Okay, no need to be polite!"

Lu Hao smiled and greeted everyone.

"Tianyin, I have someone give you a gold plaque. Are you satisfied?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"Satisfied, satisfied, but I prefer Golden Wanliang."

Situ Tianyin is really a money addict.

In fact, the golden plaque given by the emperor cannot be bought with ten thousand taels of gold.

After all, the emperor’s advertising fee for Tianyin Pavilion was more than ten thousand taels of gold!

"Master Xiang, these two beauties..."

Situ Tianyin looked at the Liu sisters.

"Yes, yes, how could you forget the true identity? Come on, let me introduce it to you."

Lu Hao smiled and patted his forehead.

"What? You...are you Liu Rufeng from the Blood Clothes Sect?"

Situ Tianyin suddenly became interested, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"What's the matter? Pavilion Master Situ wants to compete with me?"

Liu Rufeng felt the opponent's strong fighting spirit, and his internal energy surged, blowing up a hurricane.

"Wait! Don't be like this. If you want to compete, you will have plenty of time in the future. I will go to the handicraft workshop."

Lu Hao quickly persuaded the two of them.

"Yes, yes, today is really inappropriate." The two beauties immediately gave up the idea of ​​a fight.

"Let's take our two beauties to visit our workshop..."

Lu Hao was very excited and led everyone towards the factory.

Today's Hengyang City is full of weapons factories tailor-made according to Lu Hao's requirements. It has become a real war fortress.

The increase in saltpeter production has greatly increased the processing capacity of gunpowder workshops, which has also led to a substantial increase in the production capacity of bullet workshops.

Although there is no better automatic compression industrial technology, using the mechanical workbench provided by Lu Hao can also increase the output of bullets.

The petroleum has been separated into gasoline, kerosene and gasoline through distillation and extraction methods, and these raw materials have increased the power of kerosene bombs by more than a hundred times.

Especially for gasoline, even on rainy days, it is estimated that it will be difficult to prevent the burning of gasoline.

The manufacturing process of the grenade is not very responsible. Mr. Peng has successfully tested the drawings given by Lu Hao and is starting trial production.

As for the production of home-made cannons, the experimental barrels are now being built. The required cannonballs are very simple and samples have been produced.

It is estimated that it will take at least some time before it can be put into actual combat.

The pistol's craftsmanship is simple and it has entered mass production. Therefore, Lu Hao has strictly enforced the management rules of the gun to prevent the gun from leaking.

The ore factory is now starting to extract rare metals through local methods according to Lu Hao's wishes.

Although there were many rare metal impurities extracted and the mixing ratio with other metals, Lu Hao didn't quite understand it. However, having a general research direction would always yield more results than groping in the dark.

Mr. Peng is now preparing to build the spare parts of the steam engine according to the steam engine drawings given by Lu Hao. It is estimated that it will take some time to successfully develop it.

This time when I came here, Mr. Peng asked a big question: How did you solve the leakage of the steam engine?

"Mr. Peng, this air leakage problem could have been solved by using rubber gaskets, but it seems that there are no rubber products now..."

Lu Hao groaned.

“What’s rubber again?”

Situ Tianyin asked.

"What about this thing called rubber? It's a sap that flows from a large tropical tree. It's white and sticky..."

Lu Hao had no choice but to tell it in detail.

"Prime Minister, there are many big trees like the ones you mentioned on the seaside in the south. However, they are inedible. So, if Prime Minister needs them, I will send someone to get some."

Situ Tianyin said with a smile.

"What? Is there really a rubber tree? That's great. Find someone to collect and send it to you. It will be of great use."

Lu Hao was extremely surprised.

Because as long as rubber is available, tires can be made without the need for the current wooden wheels, and the transportation capacity can be increased in the future.

Of course, if a diesel engine or a gasoline engine can be built, then transportation channels across the continent can be opened.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I'll send someone to take care of it right away."

Situ Tianyin said with a smile.

"Master Peng, how is the cement test product doing?"

Lu Hao turned to Master Peng.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, there are still several problems with the cement test products. The first one is that the raw material powder is not fine enough. The rotating steel ball grinder you mentioned has too heavy iron balls inside and the manual rotation speed is too slow. …”

"The second point is that when the semi-finished clinker enters the rotary kiln for further decomposition, the temperature of the rotary kiln needs to be increased..."

"The third point is that there seems to be a problem with the proportion, which causes the solidification time of the test product to be too long, and..."

Lord Peng asked a series of questions.

"If the manual rotation is too slow, then temporarily use the rotational force of the water wheel to drive it... In the future, if there is a gasoline engine or diesel engine, the efficiency will increase."

"As for the temperature of the rotary kiln, it can be solved by increasing the strength of the outer wall, raising the temperature of the furnace, and using coking coal..."

"The proportion of cement is 30.00% of raw material and [-]% of pulverized coal..."

Lu Hao gave a solution based on his memory.
