Sun Yuanhua was indeed scared by this number, nearly two thousand guns, Liaodong and even the whole Daming added up to not so much!

How much does it cost to have so many guns, the governor knows?

He couldn't help but remind: "Sir, the guns are almost all made of copper, and the cannons are very expensive."

Copper is indeed very valuable at this time, because copper money is made of copper, a penny is almost a penny, that is, more than seven pounds of copper is worth one or two silver.

How much copper does it take for nearly two thousand guns?

50 pounds of four doors;

Eight hundred pounds of eight doors;

Five hundred thousand doors;

A thousand pounds of two hundred doors;

This adds up to half a million pounds, and each fowl cannon must be equipped with five cutters, just to buy copper will cost nearly one hundred thousand two silver, the governor has so much money?

At this time, Zhang Bin was also silently calculating in his heart.

It’s only half a million pounds, and it scares me.

He relaxed and smiled, "Well, money is not a problem, it depends on how long you can cast it."

Two hundred is no problem?

Sun Yuanhua was a little unbelievable: "Lord, this is nearly 100,000 silver, will the court give it?"

It may be a little difficult to allocate so much money, because there are too many places to spend money, and Wei Zhongxian left him an empty treasury, and he is still waiting for himself to make money.

At this time, Zhang Bin, who liked to joke about the bad taste again, he put on a serious expression and shook his head: "The court will not pay this money, when the official took office, the court did not pay any food."

"Ah," did not allocate any food, how to fight this battle, how to make this gun!

Zhang Bin saw Sun Yuanhua stunned look, the heart was proud, but the joke can not be overdone, a little can open, open the head to arouse people's disgust is not good.

Sun Yuanhua was obviously surprised, this is almost, Zhang Bin immediately explained: "However, after the official came to Fujian to organize a fund-raising, under the help of the major businessmen to face, a total of two million dollars in military money, take 100,000 two out of two to cast guns is no problem."

Sun Yuanhua was stunned again, silver two million two, these business help so rich?

However, he did not entangled the problem of money, the governor said yes, that is, as a subordinate, he is entangled again, that is purely too broad, there is a problem.

The problem is that this money alone is not enough, casting cannons are very troublesome, especially the foll guns, the general military craftsmen are not good, need to be proficient in the casting of the teacher Fu is expected to cast out, where he went to find so many mastered in the casting of the military!

He arched his hand and said truthfully: "Adult, this foll cannon is not a general military cannon can be cast, mainly because there is no mistake between the mother and the cedure, too tight to the thorn can not enter, too loose will leak, to do there is no gap between the cervix and the mother's tusks, too difficult."If it is a general gun, it is better to do a little, the folem cannon, nearly two thousand, the students may not be able to cast for ten years!"

He meant it, casting tiger squatting guns, bowls of mouth, and even red cannons, but this budro cannon is not easy to do.

Zhang Bin shook his head firmly: "No, it must be a folang gun, other artillery loading and loading ammunition is too time-consuming, and the war is not conducive!"

Sun Yuanhua's face was embarrassed: "Adult, the foll machine is good, but the casting requirements are too high, it is difficult to find a military artisan who can be cast."

Purely rely on casting to meet the requirements of size fit, the difficulty is certainly large, now people do not have the experience of metal cutting, to make precision with the parts take a long time.

Zhang Bin then explained: "the first sun, the collaboration between the mother and the cedium is certainly difficult to rely on casting, you can consider in the collocation to enlarge a little size, after casting, and then processing, so it is simple."

In fact, this does not need Zhang Bin said, Sun Yuanhua also knows that some places in the existing processing level can not be processed at all, he can not help but carefully refute: "adult, this student also knows that the son of the tong is better to say a little, are outside, grinding is easier, the mother is not good, that is an open mouth, it is difficult to grind."

In the morning, how to process the metal Zhang Bin is not very understanding, he can not help but ask: "that inside the barrel, how to polish smooth?"

This Sun Yuanhua naturally knows that he is like a number of Jane's words: "This is not polished out, the inside of the gun must be made a special iron drill, first fixed the gun, and then the iron drill rod fixed on a large wheel like a wheel, knock into the barrel, and then make people turn the wheel, turn a part, and then knock in a period, so repeatedly, a three-foot-long gun, probably takes a day."

This is a manual drilling machine, with the manual to drill so large barrel, think are laborious, Zhang Bin can not help but shake his head: "This method is not appropriate, time-consuming and laborious, need to make a drill that can turn their own drill."

Unexpectedly, Sun Yuanhua was not surprised at all, he even shook his head: "Did the adults say that watermills and things like watercraft, that was indeed labor-saving, but the speed was much slower than people drilled, and a gun could not be processed for a few days, too delayed time."

Zhang Bin forgot that at this time, there are people who use water, but the speed and thrust of the water are not suitable for the power of the machine tool, and he continued to shake his head: "In the beginning, the official is not talking about water truck hydrangism and the like, but a new way to promote."

Sun Yuanhua couldn’t help but be curious: “Dare to ask the adults, what are you going to use to promote the wheel?”

Although the steam engine does not use Sun Yuanhua to develop this thing, but he must also know that there is this thing, after all, the last use of him.

Zhang Bin simply explained: "The official is ready to ask Wang Xun Wang Liangfu to do a new kind of machinery, with boiled water generated by steam to promote the wheel, then the wheel can turn quickly, the processing gun tube is not under the words, and even the outer wall of the ethereum and the mother of the head can be processed with this machine, when the time comes, you will slightly enlarge the casting of the place where the ethereal and the mother's head need to be matched."

The steam?Burning water Sun Yuanhua naturally knows that the heat that comes out is called steam, which he really does not understand, but at this time his mind is not on this, because Zhang Bin mentioned Wang Xun.

He was surprised: “Does the grown-ups know Philip?”

Philipson Yuanhua is read out in the tone of the foreign language, which does not mean that Wang Lin is an count, but Wang Song's teaching name, they are Catholics!

This Zhang Bin did not expect, he was equally surprised: "You know Wang Liangfu, and what is this Philippe is the name of the foreign language?"

Sun Yuanhua even nodded: "Students and Wang Liangfu are Catholics, and the same love of things to know the way, is to know."

Zhang Bin heard the words and was curious: "So, you also have the name of the foreign language, what is your foreign name?"

Sun Yuanhua solemnly arched: "Student's name Ignatius."

Ignatius!A uncle, a knight, the name is a little coincidental.

Well, Zhang Bin is just curious, they are better friends, more cooperative.
