In the end, the entire monument recruited a total of 1,200 volunteers, and those who were not selected could only complain and leave.
Such a large metal statue, in addition to using Dongyue armor to express the Tang Dynasty's determination for revenge, is also a big challenge to the current forging technology of the Tang Dynasty.
The next day, officials from the Ministry of Works took these volunteers and began to transport coal and furnaces.
It was necessary to make them on site, but Tang Ping did not ask anyone to clean the bloodstained soldiers and armor that were captured.
Some of the blood on it belongs to soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and some to soldiers of East Vietnam.
Most of the soldiers and armors have become dilapidated and piled up in piles.
The knife marks on the armor were naturally left by Tang Jun, but those rolled-up swords were caused by slashing Tang Jun's body one by one.
All the people passing by will stop and salute.
There were also merchants from foreign races passing by, and looking at those soldiers, they felt frightened.
All volunteers were divided into four classes, and each class worked for five hours, continuously smelting the armor outside Mingde Gate.
After smelting, the armor becomes metal ingots piece by piece. Then the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry will lead the volunteer blacksmiths to start forging the outer shape of the entire monument, and finally assemble it piece by piece.
Mingdemen has become a big construction site, but no one will express dissatisfaction.
Tang Ping finally joined the Ministry of Industry.
"Hello, Deputy Minister!" For Tang Ping, the officials from the Ministry of Industry admired him the most.
Who doesn't know that the Ministry of Industry is the best paid department in the entire Datang, but not everyone can join such a department.
Those who can come in are all skilled.
And their treatment is all earned by themselves.
Many of the technologies Tang Ping brought from modern times have some chronological gaps, and they must be localized if they are to be used in the Tang Dynasty.
These officials and craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry have racked their brains for this.
After all, by improving a technology, you can obtain certain benefits from the process of using the technology.
Now there is a great craftsman in the Ministry of Industry, whose income has far exceeded that of first-grade officers such as Fang Du.
Not only would he not suppress such craftsmen, Tang Ping even asked Li Shimin to send someone to protect them.
In Tang Ping's mind, the Ministry of Industry is on the same level as the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Is there anything wrong with researchers in the Chinese Academy of Sciences receiving higher salaries? Nothing wrong!
It is precisely because of Tang Ping's strong support that the entire Ministry of Industry accepted him unconditionally. If he was not willing to squeeze Duan Lun's position, he would be allowed to sit on the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry in his early twenties. The following is People are absolutely convinced.
"You're welcome!" Tang Ping's voice was not loud, because today he did not go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, but came to the Datang General Office.
That is, after he donated the computer, it became a place like a large Internet cafe.
Now each yamen has divided its own area here and started to carry out automated office work.
It has to be said that the efficiency has been greatly improved. The only flaw may be that the space of each department is smaller.
Tang Ping's place is only about twenty square meters, separated from the outside by a screen, and it is considered the office space of their Ministry of Industry.
"First introduce to me the recent situation in the Ministry of Industry!"
"Yes!" An official from the Ministry of Industry directly controlled his computer and projected the projection onto a white screen.
"Deputy Minister, look, this is the output of our Ministry of Industry last year. There are a total of 631 steam engines of various sizes and 341 steam locomotives..."
Tang Ping spent the whole morning reading these reports. He had no choice but to do something in the Ministry of Works. He must at least understand the basic situation of the Ministry of Works.
It turns out that whatever technology Tang Ping had, he just handed it over to the officials of the Ministry of Industry and asked them to research it on their own, so he really didn't know the current specific development situation of the Ministry of Industry.
"Okay, I understand the general situation. The first thing I want to say now is the monument outside Mingde Gate. The craftsmen over there expect that all the components will be completed by the end of the month. At that time, we will rivet and join the work. How good is your mastery of riveting technology?"
"Don't worry, Deputy Minister. The blacksmiths of the Ministry of Industry have basically mastered the riveting technology you taught me without any problems. Moreover, we also used a steam engine to make an impact machine. Some large pieces can be riveted directly by machine instead of by hand." It’s hammered into shape.”
"Oh?" Tang Ping raised his brows. This riveting technique is not complicated. It involves drilling holes and inserting red-hot rivets, using a top mold to hold the rivets, and then hammering them into shape.
This was the best metal joining technology before welding technology was established. I had just sent it to the Ministry of Industry not long ago. Unexpectedly, not only did most blacksmiths master it, but they also learned to use mechanical power.
You must know that the Titanic actually used riveting technology instead of welding technology.
"So, the drawings I brought yesterday can also be made?" Tang Ping was overjoyed. He brought in the riveting technology. The monument is actually only incidental. What is really used is the connection of large metal parts. For example, this time he The drawings I brought - ironclad ship!
"Yes, Deputy Minister, after we studied the drawings you brought with the shipbuilder, we made slight changes. Please take a look!"
Tang Ping looked at the structural diagrams drawn by CAD by officials from the Ministry of Works on the projection and had to marvel at the learning ability of these people.
I had thrown a few CAD books from beginners to masters to the Ministry of Industry and ignored them. After all, he didn't know how to do these things himself.
They just didn't expect that in this short period of time, they could all use it to draw pictures.
This is a modern warship, but it does not use the paddle wheels on both sides of the hull, but uses a propeller device directly in one step.
At the entire rear of the ship is the power room, which uses four sets of large steam engines to provide power to drive the ship forward.
The entire hull will also be made of steel, with artillery turrets installed at the bow, stern and sides.
The warships currently used by East Vietnam were improved on Tang Ping's drawings. The length of a maritime warship is close to one hundred meters, and its displacement is about 10,000 tons. It is a proper 10,000-ton giant ship.
As for the warship that Tang Ping now requires Datang to build, if it has a displacement of only a few thousand tons.
Among them, those used in inland rivers have a displacement of just over a thousand tons.
But Tang Ping was confident that as long as the Ministry of Industry could build a few such warships according to standards, he would be able to sweep the entire East Vietnam Navy.
