The last big order from Beiyang Shipyard was to provide steel plates on the steamship, which used large steel plates forging and riveting technology.

It’s true that there are many skilled craftsmen in the world who work in this matter, but only Beiyang and Xiangshan Shipyards are the cheapest because they are the most skilled.

This kind of large iron plate steel plate is rarely used in daily life, and even fewer ones are riveted into larger pieces. In the past, only Deng Zilong's Dog and Shao Tingda's ship had such strange demands, which brought professional sledgehammer swinging experience to the craftsmen of Xiangshan Shipyard.

The craftsmen from Beiyang Shipyard also came from Xiangshan, so they would do it.

In addition, there are many capable people, but few are proficient.

This is never easy and expensive.

To this day, there are ninety-three Qinglong military trains running on the third section of the railway, only three dragons, the leading military trains in the paintings given to Chen Mu by Wanli.

The rest are copper shells, iron shells, and metal are much cheaper than wood. Not only is it easy to process and not to mention the material, it is easier to process and not easy to damage.

There are four trips inside, and at least one of them is still a green one. Zhou Sijing, the head of the Steam Bureau, thought that since he didn't have to work hard to make a dragon, just put some colors on it. Because of the name Qinglong, all the Huode Star Lord at the front of the car to the truck pulled behind were painted in blue. When the four Huode Star Lords were not used on the railway, Zhou Sijing was also idle.

Later, it was not possible. Beiyang gradually felt that transportation was not favorable. The larger the transportation capacity, the better, the faster the better. If there is no or the conditions do not allow, the smaller and slower can be used. But as long as there is a chance, it is justified for military materials as big as possible.

There are more Fire De Star Lords used in the military service by the Steam Bureau, so Zhou Sijing could only discuss unnecessary processes with his client Ye Mengxiong. Can the dragon shell be deducted? Can the color be removed? Is there any problem with the ugly shell?

Ye Mengxiong naturally has no problem. As long as it can run, it is safe, has a large load and is fast, it will be fine for him.

Therefore, the efficiency of creating the Fire De Star Lord was greatly improved. In the past, four units were produced, but now sixteen units can be built.

Compared with the assembly of components outsourced to subway factories, the most delayed production time in the past was shell making and decorative objects. Now, those are naturally much faster than that.

However, even those produced later, their appearances were different. Until now, Zhou Sijing was unable to make a fixed model for the Huode Star Lord of the Qinglong Army.

The earliest shell was simply a large square iron shell. Later, the driver reported that it was too anti-human to lie on the roof of the car to control the Qinglong, especially when transporting goods to the Black Rain Sea in winter, which could freeze people to death. Later, Zhou Sijing built a small black room with windows in front of the front of the car, and several key buttons were placed in the room.

But it was still too cold. The wind kept pouring in and it was not good for the boiler to be efficient. Later, the production was added with glass, which was specially separated from the boiler room in the rear by a door. Machine parts such as button links were also hidden in the wooden wall, which added a little rest space for the workers in the boiler room.

But this is still anti-human. The steward stood through the glass window and looked tired in front of him. He sat down and straightened his neck and couldn't see the outside.

So Zhou Sijing lowered the glass window a little further, and finally a fixed chair in the cab.

In terms of lighting, there is a lamp post that extends slightly forward in the middle of the front of the car. A kerosene lamp with a glass cover with a spotlight cup and a thick wick is fixed with iron wire. The spotlight cup on the back is made of porcelain, and the interior is designed with a trachea leading to the rear. There are two omnidirectional kerosene lamps on the roof, and three lamps are used for night lighting.

These three lights are not for the driver to see the way. Even if there is a light cup in front of the car, it can only allow the driver to see more than ten steps ahead. The main function of the three lights is to let others see them... The speed of the Qinglong Army line is similar to that of people jogging, and as long as people see it, they have time to dodge.

The biggest problem is that wild beasts on the road at night, and there may be human-made bad things. So recently, Zhou Sijing added an iron plowshare like a horn in front of the newly produced Qinglong Army. No matter whether it is a human, beast or wood on the rail, it can be shoveled aside when it hits.

The improvement of the truck has nothing to do with Zhou Sijing. The trucks were made by Beiyang. They were originally large wooden boards with uniform specifications, and there were no guardrails on all sides. When the goods were placed on them, they stood up. Later, because the flag army accidentally fell down against each other while they fell asleep, the wooden guardrail was added.

Later, Beiyang has been trying to find the limits of trucks and improve the carriages to maintain the combat effectiveness of soldiers. In the past two years, the trucks were still loading people and goods. Last year, in order to make better use of space, people and goods were packaged separately. Later, the flag army box and carriage were simply separated.

In fact, it is basically the same when it looks outside. They all use detachable wooden walls outside the guardrail, but there are only differences.

The flag army's carriage is very large, with folding wooden boards on both sides of the guardrail and the floor of the middle carriage. You can sit with people when you pull it out. You can sit with eleven people on both sides. Three people can sit with eleven rows in the middle. There is almost no difference between cargo boxes and soldiers' boxes, but there are no such chairs. The wooden wall can be topped or not sealed. There are wooden windows that can be switched on the wall, which can be breathable or observable, and it can be opened to open the window and dance with knives or raise a gun to shoot.

These changes were accompanied by the use of the flag army, complaining again and again, and feedback to the Beiyang Military Office, and then the design was revised one after another. Now the carriage has basically become customized.

The rules set by Ye Mengxiong, the important official of Beiyang, that all Qinglong military trains driving within the pass must be guaranteed to be equipped with a soldier box and a cargo box, which means that at least one Beiyang military train must have a general flag so that this military train can only be activated.

Of course, in addition to the Beiyang standard carriage, there are also Wulianghai Qi Jiguang's non-standard carriages. His carriage was covered with a box truck from the car camp to transform it into a carriage that was the same width as the track, and the protective plate on the other side was added, and the wheels were replaced with a track-like shape to make up for the dilemma of insufficient carriages in the early stage.

Don't look at the rough modification, just use this outside the border.

The army could not pull hundreds of soldiers, carrying so many cargo, and the speed was slow. After leaving the customs, they often encountered Mongolian horse bandits... They had just surrendered, and who knew who was on the vast grassland? The flag army in the standard carriage extended their bird guns and fired them, so they could kill people to scare away the horse bandits.

The desperate people in the nomadic tribe are the ones who cannot withstand the deaths, but if they are not accurate, in fact, even the flag army with the best shooting skills will find it difficult to accurately hit the target when both sides move. If they are not accurate, they will not scare the horse race bandits at all.

Qi Jiguang's non-standard carriage was different. There was no seat on the car, but the cannon of the Fran machine cannon was stretched out in black. The man riding a horse and hunching his bow saw it from afar and took off his hat on the horse's back.

Extremely well-behaved.
