"Then use iron or copper!"
Cai Xin said smoothly.
This was what Liu Deng said to him, and now he said it without any hesitation. But after he said this, he felt even more proud when he saw the official under him.
"The king only gave us a total of 10 days to rectify it, but instead of recruiting people, sir, you want to develop some kind of machine here. With so many iron parts, if you want to polish them manually, I'm afraid there won't be any of them. Seven You can’t do it in eight months!”
His words could be regarded as expressing the feelings of those people, but Liu Deng had already said it at that time.
No matter what he does, as long as the final result is achieved, recruiting new people is of course the easiest way.
However, Cai Xin was so stubborn that after hearing Liu Deng's words, he put all his thoughts on this thing, which immediately made the officials dissatisfied.
"As long as we build this thing, we can naturally speed it up a hundred times a day, so why do we need to recruit people?"
Cai Xin didn't even look at it, he kept staring at the drawing.
This guy was originally a technical nerd, but now he is all focused on how to solve the gear problem. He is so angry at these officials that he can't even listen to them.
"My lord, don't you understand people's words? Your Majesty only gave us 10 days. You signed the military order with your Majesty. Don't let us take the blame!"
This is what those officials are thinking. It is not easy for them to get to their current position one by one. Many of them actually come from poor families.
In order to be recommended by others, it took a lot of effort, and many people even paid a lot of money, to get the official position now.
But you can't just say it's gone...
"What exactly do you want to say? If you talk about the military order, it is my business and has nothing to do with you. As long as you all obey my arrangements, any responsibility is mine and has nothing to do with you! Now, what should I do? Let’s go!”
Cai Xin waved his hand impatiently, signaling the officials to step back. Liu Deng almost lost his enjoyment in the crowd. Speaking of which, this kid's ability to irritate people is really top-notch.
"Very good, I wonder what the orders are? We need to complete it now. We will do it now. I just hope that the adults can abide by the agreement. It is not easy for us to climb to our current position. I also hope that the adults will not implicate us!" "
The man said and cupped his hands towards Cai Xin.
"Now go and find me all the blacksmiths and carpenters in the general prison. It doesn't matter whether you come or not!"
The more straightforward he talks, the more irritating he sounds. As an official, how could he not come?
"promise!"
The man gritted his teeth and turned around and left, leaving only a group of minor officials at the scene looking at each other.
"What is the name of that kid just now? Go find out for me personally. I don't know if he is really capable, but he has a really bad temper!"
Liu Deng gave instructions to Du Ziteng with great interest, then walked forward and came to Cai Xin.
"I said, can you guys come or not?"
Cai Xin was a little impatient. He felt resistant from the bottom of his heart to dealing with these officials. Cai Xin preferred to stay with the craftsmen than with them.
But the person next to him didn't make any move, so Cai Xin raised his head impatiently.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Cai Xin quickly stood up and saluted.
"I'm here specifically to help you solve your problem today. I wonder how you are going to make these gears?"
Liu Deng smiled and pointed to the drawings on the table, and then asked.
"I plan to make a set out of wood first. After verifying the dimensions, I will then think of another way..."
Cai Xin hesitated. He was not sure what to do next. He could only summon the craftsmen first and listen to their opinions.
"The process is correct, but I will tell you what to do next. There should be a furnace originally used for sword making in this prison, right?"
Liu Deng asked calmly.
"Of course we have this, but it has been abandoned for a long time. No one has used it for many years..."
When Cai Xin said this, his face obviously turned red, but Liu Deng knew in his heart that the general had been abolished long ago, and this was not something that happened in just one day or two. It really doesn't matter.
"Very good, as long as this thing still exists, have you ever thought about directly using their sword-making method to cast the gears you need!"
"But the gears we need are extremely precise. It would be difficult to use casting to solve them..."
From the drawings, you can see that this thing is indeed extremely precise. The spacing and size between each gear have strict dimensional requirements. The structure is too strict. If there is even a slight problem, the entire set of gears will probably be scrapped.
"As long as you can make the mold, there won't be any problem with the size!"
Liu Deng said smoothly.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what is a mold?"
Cai Xin's eyes suddenly lit up. He had not slept a wink all night. This thing seemed to be imprinted on his mind. He was now focused on how to make this thing and did not care about other things at all. Don't care at all.
"The mold is... yes, the Tao model you call! First gather the carpenters and blacksmiths in the prison. After you have completed the first step, I will tell you the second step. What should be done?”
The news of Liu Deng's arrival spread instantly, and the officials became more energetic one by one. In less than a stick of incense, they had found all the blacksmiths and carpenters in the prison. come out.
Although Cai Xin couldn't stand Liu Deng's betrayal, Liu Deng was the king after all, so he could only endure it.
"I'll leave the sample making to you. No hard wood is needed, just be quick and accurate!"
Liu Deng was very irresponsible and left the problem to Cai Xin. Cai Xin himself was originally obsessed with technology to deal with these things, but he was quite familiar with it, and skillfully assigned everyone's work, and then he was alone. People took on the work of final assembly.
It has to be said that although the general supervisor has been bad for many years, the basic skills of these workers are still maintained above the standard, which makes Liu Deng particularly satisfied.
It only took about two hours to complete all the parts of the machine. After some fiddling, Cai Xin finally made the initial prototype.
The rest is easy. After verifying the feasibility of this thing, Liu Deng gave the order to dismantle it!
