Therefore, Yang Gan knows a lot about canned meat. Common canned meat is nothing more than oval lunch meat cans, and some cylindrical cans of braised pork, which are the most representative.
There are also some oval flat cans, which usually contain fish. I remember once watching a video, Yang Gan couldn't help being instigated and bought a can of herring.
Good guy, during that time, the room almost exploded, a proper biological bomb.
The reason why the can is cylindrical is that when the volumes are equal, the surface area is the smallest, which means less materials are used, and the cost is of course smaller. Moreover, the circular shape has the smallest stress.
But Yang Qian didn't think so. For the convenience of transportation, it was best to use a square cylinder, so that there would be no gaps in the carriage.
As for the issue of iron materials, there is no shortage for the time being. Besides, you can take back the used cans. They can still be used after boiling and sterilizing. This is not an industrial society, and you still have to make ends meet.
After reading Yang Qian's introduction and design, Ou Yexia thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to make this thing."
"Oh? Tell me, I think there is only a hydraulic hammer here. Just relying on hammering is too slow."
"Hahaha, it's actually very simple. After making the mold, place an iron sheet on top, hit the mold with a water hammer, and punch out the square can you mentioned."
Yang Gan looked at Ou Yexia with a surprised look on his face, then smiled and stroked his beard, "Old Xia, you can do it, have you learned stamping?"
Ou Yexia smiled and said, "That's right. What you taught me is enough for me to use for a lifetime."
"As for the pressure cooker you mentioned, after thinking about it, it's not difficult. According to what you described, it's just a sealed steamer, right?"
"Sealed~~~steamer?"
Yang Qian tilted his head and thought for a while, he is really a damn talent, he said it quite vividly.
"Okay, let's try it now?"
"Okay~~!"
The two began taking the drawings, ordering the apprentice's casting molds, and began producing can molds, as well as sealed steamers.
The stamping and hammering mold is actually very simple, just a cube of iron. But when it comes to measuring the carriage that transports military rations, the square shape is meant to save as much space as possible without any extra gaps.
In this way, the boxes can be placed neatly, stacked, tightened with twine, and transported, which is very convenient.
Cast an iron sheet and place it in the pit, then put the iron block in, pull the switch, and the hydraulic hammer continuously hits the iron block. In a few minutes, the iron sheet is smashed into an iron box.
After the iron sheet cooled down, Yang Qian kept weighing it in his hand, frowned, and handed it to Ou Yexia.
After Ou Yexia checked it repeatedly, he said nothing.
"Do you have any idea?"
"A bit heavy?"
Yang Gan nodded, "Yes, it's too heavy, and this is not an iron sheet. It feels a bit like an iron plate."
Ou Yexia shouted to several apprentices, "What the hell are you doing? Why is the iron sheet made so thick?"
Several apprentices were scolded so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up, so they quickly started making them again.
Yang Gan nudged Ou Yexia with his elbow, "Hey, old boy, don't be too cruel. These apprentices are good. Speak carefully. Don't do it for their own good and you won't get a good reputation."
"Alas, the young master is still kind~~~!"
"Hey, you little bastards, be nice

Use snacks and watch your hands so you don't get burned. "
Several apprentices were musing. When they heard the master's words of concern, they were stunned and immediately started working hard.
In ancient times, the relationship between master and disciple was very strict, comparable to the relationship between father and son. Being recognized by someone you admire in one or two sentences is more important than anything else.
After repeated designations and scrapping a dozen models, the iron model was finally settled on.
With a thickness of one millimeter, this is already the highest level of craftsmanship in this era.
Then he began to develop a pressure cooker, with Yang Gan providing suggestions and Ou Yexia casting the mold himself.
In fact, it is not difficult to make a pressure cooker. The difficulty lies in the sealing ring. There is no rubber now. After the two people discussed it, they still have no clue. No matter how tight the seal is, there is still hot steam coming out when the water is boiled.
The two people stared at each other and fell into silence. Next to them were a dozen pressure cookers that were thrown aside. No matter what structure they used, there was still no way to block the heat at the edges.
"How about tying the pressure cooker with iron hoops, making threads, and twisting and pressing down with iron pliers?" Li Wang said weakly.
"Do you have any samples?"
"Yes." Li Wang quickly took out the prepared things.
The iron hoop is installed on the pressure cooker, and a wrench-like thing is used to place it on it. As the wrench rotates, the originally loose iron hoop slowly tightens. When it cannot turn, use a hook to secure it.
Then put the pressure cooker on the stove. After a while, the pressure cooker started to make a "beep" sound.
Yang Qian and Ou Yexia looked at Li Wang in surprise and raised their thumbs, "Awesome, Li Wang, you can do it."
Ou Yexia immediately hugged Li Wang's head and said, "Hahahaha, you are worthy of being my disciple, Ou Yexia, your brain is like a thief."
Although Li Wang was stunned, the smile on his face never broke. "Master, I hope I can help."
What we just produced is still a sample. After cooking more than a dozen pots in a row, we can start casting a large pressure cooker after we find that there are no problems with the quality.
This kind of pot is as tall as a person and can cook a large amount of canned meat at one time. However, this kind of pressure cooker is also very powerful. If it explodes, a lot of people will die.
The mold is huge and cannot be forged in a short time. After it is forged, it needs to be tested to make sure there is no mistake. Dozens or hundreds of them will be cast and cooked together.
The canned meat was produced in an endless stream. Once the war started, there would be endless meat on the front line.
In ancient wars, the supply of food and grass can be said to be the first priority. No matter how strong the team is, when the food and grass are cut off, the entire team will collapse! Throughout history, there are countless examples of armies being destroyed.
As long as there is an endless supply of food and grass, plus meat that can be eaten at any time, then this battle will be won by 30% before it is fought.
"Lao Xia, please keep this matter in mind for me. This is very important, do you understand?" When leaving, Yang Qian repeatedly warned him.
Ou Yexia said calmly, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there will definitely be no mistakes."
"Make it as soon as possible, I'm leaving first."
"Wait, sir~~~!"
Yang Gan was stopped and looked at him in confusion. Ou Yexia asked his apprentice to bring a pure steel and leather device and handed it over.
"Sir, as long as you put on this piece of equipment, you can carry the dragon-slaying sword behind your back, and you don't have to carry it all day long."
Yang Qian looked at it and put it on
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He shrugged his body and said unexpectedly, "Not bad, it fits well. I'm good at flattering you. I'm making progress."
After saying that, Yang Qian walked towards Zhuangzi.
At this moment, at the gate of Yuntong County, an ordinary-looking young man came. He was dressed in black and had a sword on his waist. However, the sword was indeed longer and wider than ordinary swords.
He raised his head and looked towards the city. If he hadn't seen the word Yuntong, he would have thought he was going the wrong way.
He raised his hands to a soldier and said, "Master, is this Yuntong City?"
The soldier scanned him up and down, "This is not Yuntong, where is that?"
The young man shook his head, "I came here once in the early years, but, the city wall is not that high."
The soldier smiled and said, "This is an important border city. Construction of the city will begin after spring~~~!"
"I see."
The young man nodded, "I want to ask who has the highest martial arts skills in Yuntong City. I want to challenge him."
........
Several soldiers looked at each other and suddenly burst into wanton laughter.
A soldier couldn't help but walked over, casually leaned on the young man's shoulder, and joked, "You are a ranger, how come you come to Yuntong to challenge? This is the funniest joke I have heard this year."
The young man was slightly unhappy. He exerted force on his shoulders, trying to shake the soldier away. Unexpectedly, the soldier was stunned, shook his arm, and said in surprise, "Hey, Lian Jiazi, you have some skills."
But the young man was even more surprised. Ordinary soldiers who were shocked by his own skill would never think of being like this.
"An ordinary soldier can actually have such skill, it's amazing!" the young man said in surprise.
The soldier looked at his companions behind him. At this time, a man who looked like a captain came out, looked at the young man and said, "Haha, his martial arts skills are the lowest among us."
The young soldier scratched his head in embarrassment, "Boss, don't talk about me like that. You joined the army earlier than me, so you don't want to bury me like this."
"You guys have the nerve to say that you were taught a few tricks by General Ran last time, why are you still so bad?"
After saying a few words, the captain said, "We have a man in Yuntong City whose martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world and unmatched by anyone."
The young man sneered, "Unparalleled in the world? That's too loud. Who in this world dares to say that he is unparalleled in the world."
The captain was not angry, "Our Lord Commander, Yang Qian, Commander Yang, our officers and men in the armed forces are recognized as having unparalleled martial arts skills in the world."
"Hahahaha, then please point me to a clear path, military masters. I want to go and compete in martial arts with the governor."
"Then you don't have to go into the city. Go to Zhuangzi outside the city. The county guard is usually only in Zhuangzi, not in the city."
"Thank you."
After the young man finished speaking, he walked directly towards Zhuangzi without any hesitation.
A soldier came over and asked, "Boss, are you okay? Point this unknown person to Zhuangzi. If something happens, we can't afford it."
"Tch, what are you afraid of? If he has evil intentions, he will die faster. Don't you forget that Zhuangzi is heavily guarded by soldiers? You don't know the martial arts of Krisna and Belika, right?"
Several soldiers immediately recalled in their minds, Krisna who was like an iron tower and Belika with a face of ice, and they immediately shuddered.
What a joke, there were few people present who had not been beaten by Krisna. At this time, they looked at the back of the young man, full of sympathy.
