As Lucia became an adult, Border Town also entered its last month of winter.
For the Month of Evil, the end of winter does not mean the end. The heavy snow in the sky often lasts until the spring of the next year. As for when it will calm down, it is completely left to fate.
According to past experience, the end of the evil moon in the first half of the first month of spring is a rather difficult day; the end of the second half of the first month is a very difficult day; if it continues to the second month, it will become a difficult day even to survive.
But this is just a situation that residents of the town have encountered.
The situation has improved significantly this year. Even if the evil moon lasts until the end of the second month of spring, the wheat stored in the granary is enough for everyone to fill their stomachs.
Roland naturally would not be satisfied with the passing line where everyone should not starve to death. These days, he has been lying on his desk with high interest, drawing drawings, and conceiving his next major production plan.
The entire plan is divided into two aspects: military and civilian. The former includes the construction of new weapons factories, bicycle factories, shipyards, and shallow water heavy gunboats. The latter mainly focuses on the promotion and popularization of water, heating and electricity tees in residential communities and iron agricultural tools.
What motivated him was Lucia White after testing her new abilities in detail, and Roland clearly realized that the last restriction of mass production was also solved, and the town's productivity would usher in a new peak as the population grew.
This limitation is the supply of materials.
Modern smelting is a very complex discipline, and steel output is also one of the most important parameters to measure an industrial country.
Roland didn't know much about this, and the town's iron-smelting ability was still very backward. Not only did the technology not exceed this era, but the scale was not as large as that of some mining merchants' private smelters.
When the iron ore was melted into pig iron in a brick blast furnace, it was sent to the steam engine for good quality, and the poor quality was handed over to Anna for further smelting into steel.
This process is completely uncontrollable, and the carbon content is also high and low. Sometimes, the materials that are affordable can only be filled with two or three carriages all day, which greatly limits the production capacity of the steam engine manufacturer.
Although Anna's special furnace can convert inferior pig iron into controllable steel, its output is only enough for military factories.
In autumn, it can basically meet the needs of the town. After winter comes, the army has expanded twice and developed new guns and artillery, and this amount of steel is a bit stretched.
Lucia's evolution can be described as a cardiac intensifier. Its targeted separation ability can easily eliminate the adverse components in the material, and can also regulate the proportion of each element during the smelting stage, so that each furnace of molten steel can be maintained at one performance.
It can be said that with Anna and Lucia, the smelting level of Border Town is enough to instantly improve several levels.
To this end, Roland has asked Anna to put down other work and focus on creating a new generation of super melting pot.
Compared with the special furnace designed for her, the new furnace has been more than ten times more volume, extending to fifty meters in length, ten meters in width, and nearly four meters in height. At first glance, it looks like a slender swimming pool.
It is essentially no different from the previous generation of special furnaces. It is still an iron box and has no heating equipment. It is all smelted by Anna's black fire.
However, it is buried in the ground and relies on the soil to support the pressure of the iron on the four walls. There is a walkway in the center, which just allows Anna to heat the iron ingots on both sides at the same time.
It has only one advantage, that is, the volume is large enough. If smelting according to the previous method, the limestone used for decomposition is a large number, and it takes a lot of effort to clean up the generated impurities. Adding and stirring is also a big problem, so it must not be done too much.
Now there are no such concerns at all. Just put pig iron and dissolve it, and then Lucia removes harmful ingredients such as phosphorus and sulfur.
Roland plans to build a new batch of furnaces, together with the old blast furnace and the old vertical furnace, only responsible for the first smelting, and does not care about the quality of the finished product. As long as the ore can be melted and turned into square iron ingots.
Then all of these iron ingots are put into a new furnace for secondary refining. The formed steel flows into the lower terrain formwork through the gates. After directly forming materials for processing, the steam engine factory will also switch to steel production, which will inevitably bring a stronger source of power to the town.
Roland called the new furnace the Star of Steel.
Once Anna's manufacturing is completed and Steel Star is put into production, the town's steel production can increase by more than ten times.
It can be said that the new large-scale production plan is based on this foundation.
In addition, the development of new light weapons has also come to conclusions.
Roland found that his initial idea was not appropriate. He referred to the principles of later gas-guided automatic rifles and designed several prototype weapons. Simply put, automatic weapons use part of the high-pressure gas when the bullet is fired to complete the shell removal and loading operations, thereby realizing the process of reloading.
This work lasted for about half a month, and it was hard to say how difficult it was, but it only required repeated testing of whether each component could function normally.
He doesn't need to remember the specific structure of a certain rifle. As long as he knows how it works, he can always piece together a useful weapon after trying it a few more times.
This is the problem.
The prototype weapon that was spelled out was fine, big, black and thick, but it had nearly a hundred parts, each of which was made by Anna himself, especially small things such as springs, firing needles, and air guide pistons. It is difficult to mass produce at the current level of machine tools.
If you want to replace all the revolver rifles in the soldiers with automatic weapons, it will not only be a huge burden on Anna, but also waste of firearm processing equipment that has been put into production.
In addition, if all soldiers are equipped with automatic weapons, their ammunition consumption is undoubtedly astronomical.
Roland didn't care much about this at first, thinking that it could be solved by increasing the number of production personnel, but he soon discovered that once the new weapon was formed, it could easily swallow up all the output of the acid-making factory.
As for the small problems such as stuck and firing failure that often occur during test shooting, it is not important.
After repeated weighing, he finally dispelled the idea of changing automatic weapons on a large scale, but increasing the military's firepower output is an imminent need, and he focused on another continuous weapon.
That is a heavy machine gun.
Twenty to fifty people were assigned a heavy machine gun, which greatly reduced the number of weapons, and the two most difficult problems could be solved.
It can also be automatically loaded using air conduction. The structure is similar to the prototype weapon produced. It can be put into principle tests after modification. In addition, it can be made larger, and the parts do not need to be designed to be close to spider silk, which is equivalent to reducing the difficulty for itself.
For the Month of Evil, the end of winter does not mean the end. The heavy snow in the sky often lasts until the spring of the next year. As for when it will calm down, it is completely left to fate.
According to past experience, the end of the evil moon in the first half of the first month of spring is a rather difficult day; the end of the second half of the first month is a very difficult day; if it continues to the second month, it will become a difficult day even to survive.
