After staying in the city for another 15 days, Ye Xing returned to the military camp. All the special training personnel who were on vacation returned.

Ye Xing prepared a copy of "Donghai County Newspaper" for each barracks, asking everyone to read more newspapers, and replenished 15 special training team members, and then Li Qifeng conducted training;

Now the goal is to cultivate masters, so what is taught is all the untransmitted martial arts and internal skills of the Qingyun Sect. They are considered to be the outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect, and of course they have the consent of the Qingyun Sect.

Of course, the special forces team members did not know that this was the authentic martial arts and martial arts of the Qingyun Sect, a large sect. Even if they knew, they would only be grateful to the two commanders for their selfless teachings. After all, they were not disciples of the Qingyun Sect at all, nor were they. qualifications.

Eleven of the personnel who originally stayed in the military camp were added to the special training team, and the remaining 92 people were trained by Ye Xing.

Ye Xing training is completely different. It mainly focuses on combat command and logistics support methods. The goal is to train commanders and staff officers in the army;

Ye Xing had no knowledge in this area, so he hired several retired officers from various places with high salaries, all of whom were hired through connections with the Qingyun Sect.

There is also a lot of construction work in the military camp to build a military school. The instructors are all invited from all over the place to teach combat command and logistics support. These instructors must teach all kinds of experience, but they must be real strength.

In every class, Ye Xing requires all students to write down key points with pen and paper, and to share their opinions after class.

What is Ye Xing's philosophy? It is to make every effort to ensure its own safety and have a primary combat philosophy. It is definitely not a theory of large-scale operations, but a combat method based on small-scale, guerrilla warfare, and annihilation warfare.

This era pays attention to large-scale battles, with tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people on completely different scales. What Ye Xing wants is a combat method that focuses on assault and beheading battles, with the goal of striking the enemy's core.

In fact, Ye Xing knew that his city guard force only numbered a thousand people, and it was impossible for a large army to fight. Moreover, the Song Dynasty had been peaceful for three thousand years, and there had never been a large-scale war. There were no instances of large-scale battles, and there was no need. Go study this.

In addition to attending lectures on his own, Ye Xing also participated in discussions, wrote down ideas on various combat techniques, and then discussed them with instructors and students. The academic atmosphere of this military school is extremely free;

Of course, the training that soldiers should have every day is necessary, and officers must also participate in the training.

After everything was on track, Ye Xing realized that two months had passed. He decided to deal with the affairs of the Villa. Although he returned to Xingchen Villa several times, he did not bother with the details.

Ye Xing asked Lin Tie to gather all the brothers in the villa, and each of the 12 people reported on their work in the past four months.

Lin Tie is in charge of all affairs of Xingchen Villa. The economic expenses of the Villa are mainly personnel wages and steam engine development costs;

For safety reasons, the wall around the villa was reinforced and raised several feet. Now the wall is 10 feet high. Outsiders have no idea what is going on inside. They can only see many wooden houses on the hillside of the villa.

The textile machinery improvement work that Lin Haotian and Ye Yunshan were responsible for has made many detailed improvements, mainly the machinery is more stable, the thread breakage problem has been greatly improved, the cotton produced is denser, and the work of the four female textile workers has become easier.

It is now possible to weave linen. Compared with cotton, linen is more troublesome, but it is also more durable, so it has uses.

The other nine people were divided into three groups and worked hard to develop the steam turbine based on Ye Xing's first draft of the design, which has now been successfully developed.

In fact, steam engines are simpler, but Ye Xing knows that steam turbines are more practical and must be developed in one step, as long as they continue to improve.

After Ye Xing's super brain has made extremely detailed deductions, as long as the accuracy of the parts meets the requirements, it will not be a problem in general, only the details will remain.

When everyone came to the factory, they found a small machine, only the size of a table, which looked completely inconspicuous.

This steam turbine mainly burns briquettes. The combustion chamber is in the middle and is surrounded by a thick iron cast water cylinder. The pure water in the water cylinder is heated to produce high-pressure steam, which is guided to a sealed impeller cylinder with an iron pipe. There are 12 stages of impellers of different sizes rotating inside. After the water vapor becomes low pressure, it is introduced into the next stage impeller cylinder. Finally, the water vapor is condensed into water and pressed into the high-pressure water cylinder again.

After three months of hard work, they overcame countless difficulties and continued to improve to the current situation. This is the latest prototype, which is now used to drive the lathe.

There is a prototype machine that has been connected to a textile machine. It is more powerful and faster than water flow, and can increase production speed by 8 times.

Nowadays, textile machines are all driven by steam turbines. One of the four female workers is responsible for adding coal and removing slag to the furnace, another is responsible for thread processing, and two are packaging cloth. They only work during the day and rest at night. The output is still four times the original. Large quantities of raw materials are purchased and finished products are shipped every day.

Ye Xing observed all the working processes of the steam turbine very carefully and put forward several ideas and opinions.

First, burning coal is very slow. The coal must be washed to remove impurities. This is too troublesome. Instead, it must be burned with oil. This oil is petroleum, which is mineral oil that flows from the ground. From the geographical history, we know that there is some land in the western part of Donghai County. Lin Tie is arranged to purchase all the oil-producing areas as his own oil-producing base. This will be done immediately tomorrow.

The second is to design an automatic air blowing device. As long as the cylinder is working, it will automatically blow air to make combustion more complete. This is very easy.

The third is to design an automatic feeder that automatically delivers fuel intermittently, eliminating the need for humans to handle the work of delivering fuel and removing slag.

Fourth, the problem of steam leakage has not been completely solved. The machining accuracy of the cylinder should be improved, and the tolerances should be more precise. We should also try to find a rubber plant to extract high-strength sealant. Find this immediately and ask foreign businessmen. , there should be some overseas.

Fifth, the production of impeller blades is the most difficult. It is necessary to continuously improve the shape of the angle processing and the strength of the material itself. This is the core technology of steam turbines. In the future, there will be no need to make major changes in other aspects, just continue to improve the impeller blades. , this kind of design is to reduce the complexity of development, concentrate efforts, and save money.

Ye Xing asked nine people to immediately improve the machine tools, improve processing accuracy, and find lighter alloy materials to make impellers.

Ye Xing had a meal with his mother, told some of his experiences during this period, and asked the city to send newspapers every issue so that the women could read the newspapers and everyone in the villa could learn more.

Ye Xing checked everyone's martial arts training, but there was little progress. Everyone's mind was not on training. This problem must be solved. Without the ability to protect oneself, all achievements will eventually become the possessions of others. .

Ye Xing asked Lin Zhui to put down his work and immediately return to Yunhai Village to find all the children over 10 years old in the village and let them learn skills here and train his own people to become apprentice technicians.

Both boys and girls can come. As long as they are willing, let them come. Only by cultivating their own children can they be confident and bold to develop bigger careers. Adults in the village who are willing to come will also come and arrange some tasks that require their own supervision.

Ye Xing asked Lin Tie and Mu Zilang to purchase the rights to the oil production area, and asked Lin Liang to be responsible for the construction of the villa. Before the children arrived, the construction of the house was completed. The remaining six people and Ye Xing continued to follow Ye Xing's instructions. Star's ideas improved steam turbines and lathes.

Ye Xing's seven people were busy with the improvement work for another eight days. They made various experimental adjustments to the shape of the blade wheel. They also found a small amount of rubber from foreign businessmen. After processing it into sealing rings, the steam turbine made a qualitative leap. The key is that the steam turbine efficiency has improved a lot.

Lin Tie had someone send the oil back from the Xijiang Waterway. After trying it out, it turned out to be very effective. It has higher combustion heat and efficiency than burning coal. More importantly, it is extremely convenient to feed the material, and there is no need to remove slag. Work.

It has been raining every day these past few days. Ye Xing returned to the military camp several times, but he did not stay for long. He mainly stayed in the villa to solve various problems.

Ye Xing asked Lin Liang to issue a notice recruiting manpower, build and expand the road to Donghai City and pave it with stones to prevent rain and mud, and build a road to the military camp.

When Lin Tie came back, he brought back more than a dozen large barrels of oil. He had purchased a large area of ​​unclaimed wasteland where oil was produced. Muzilang had already recruited more than a dozen villagers nearby to help collect oil, but the output was not high. .

Ye Xing asked him to deal with it like this first, and wait for a while before solving the problem of output. For the time being, he could only transport some every few days to maintain the normal use of the textile factory.

As for transportation issues and the safety issues of oil bases, they all need to be solved, but they cannot be solved all at once.
