    With the new industrial foundation, the implementation of assembly line production will follow. This is the only way for production to move from traditional single production to collectivization, and it is also an important step in the expansion of production.

    Of course, it is not a big invention. It is to break down the work originally completed by one craftsman into several steps, and each person is responsible for it, which greatly reduces the difficulty of production.

    For this assembly line production, Huang Mingyuan also established a set of miniature measurement standards.  Later, Huang Mingyuan found that some scales were too difficult to be accurate, so Huang Mingyuan invented the vernier caliper.

    Everyone was surprised, but Huang Mingyuan was not complacent. Wang Mang had invented it six hundred years ago.

    With unified system requirements and sophisticated measuring tools, assembly line production was finally rolled out in the factory.

    On this day, Huang Mingyuan went to the newly built foundry to inspect the assembly line production, and saw a young craftsman quenching the iron sword he made in animal urine and animal fat.

    In fact, this is not in compliance with the process, but the foundry has just been established and the regulations have not yet been perfected.

    Huang Mingyuan didn¡¯t understand why he did this, so he stepped forward to ask.  The young man thought Huang Mingyuan was here to ask for forgiveness, so he knelt down and apologized.

    Huang Mingyuan was curious about why the young people still made mistakes even though they knew they were wrong. It turned out that the young people felt that the quenching process was incorrect, so they changed the method privately.

    The young man said that since his great-grandfather, quenching has been done in animal urine and animal fat, because the swords made with different quenching tools have different properties.

    And the cooling time is also different depending on the things used for quenching.  When he made weapons, he first quenched them in livestock urine with a short cooling time, and then quenched them in livestock oil with a long cooling time. In this way, he could obtain steel with better performance.

    Using different quenching media makes the steel produced have different properties. This should be discovered by later generations of modern steelmaking.  Although this young man may not know the truth, he has figured out an effective quenching method.

    Huang Mingyuan realized that he might have met a great talent in forging.  This quenching technology seems very simple, but it requires very high personal skills of the craftsmen. It is definitely a finished product that has been practiced by countless people for a long time. Moreover, in ancient times, many of this technologies were kept secret and could not be mastered by ordinary craftsmen.  .

    Huang Mingyuan immediately became interested in this young man and asked him about his identity.

    The young man said that his name was Qi Gongye and he was from Shahe, Xiangguo (now Shahe, Xingtai).  This time he was moved to Fengzhou by the imperial court. Because he used to run a blacksmith shop in his hometown, he was selected to be a master in the foundry.

    Huang Mingyuan thought about the possible famous metallurgists of this era, but he couldn't name them. Could it be that they were talents buried in history?

    This kind of technology can be brought home.

    Suddenly Huang Mingyuan thought that later generations said that Qi Wuhuaiwen, the master craftsman of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, was from Xingtai, and should be of the generation of Xiangguo. It seemed that he was the first to introduce animal urine as quenching fluid, opening a new era of quenching.

    Therefore, Huang Mingyuan asked Qi Gongye: "What is your relationship with Qi Wuhuaiwen back then?"

    Qi Gongye was shocked when his identity was suddenly revealed. He thought Huang Mingyuan had found out his true identity, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty to Huang Mingyuan.

    Qi Gongye was the great-grandson of Qi Guanhuaiwen.  When the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty were at war, Qi Wuhuaiwen presented the precious sword "Su Iron Sword" to Gao Huan, the prime minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. It could cut through thirty layers of armor and became famous all over the world.  Later, Qi Wuhuaiwen served as the governor of Xinzhou (today's Shenqiu County, Henan Province) in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

    The Sutie Dao invented by Qi Wuhuaiwen caused great harm to the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty. Therefore, the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty hated Qi Wuhuaiwen deeply.

    After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the descendants of Qi Wuhuaiwen changed their surname to Qi to avoid disaster.

    It turns out that the Qi family has been anonymous for many years, and they have forgotten that their surname is Qiwu.  It's just that Qi Gongye is a technician who has been engaged in technology for many years, has a simple mind, and is full of fear of the government, so he was deceived by Huang Mingyuan.

    Huang Mingyuan was overjoyed when he heard the identity of the other party.  Qi Guanhuaiwen was a famous metallurgist in ancient China. Some people say that he was also a time traveler.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how many methods Qi Gongye learned from his ancestors, but his tempering skills are enough to attract Huang Mingyuan¡¯s attention.

    Huang Mingyuan quickly helped Qi Gongye up.

    "Why is Qi Gong such a talented person like this?"

    Seeing Huang Mingyuan treating him politely, Qi Gongye stood up tremblingly.  In his early years, his father was executed for making armor privately, so Qi Gongye was frightened when he saw people from the government.  It¡¯s just that he has a rigorous personality and understandsHe knew that someone might discover him if he acted carelessly, but he still didn't want to go against his will.  He regarded sword refining as his life.

    In order to let him relax and see his true level, Huang Mingyuan asked him to introduce to him some metallurgical methods discovered by Qi Wuhuaiwen.  Qi Gongye didn't dare to disobey, so he took Huang Mingyuan to see his equipment.

    Although Qi Gongye is a bit cowardly in character and not very good at speaking, he is indeed top-notch technically.  As he talked to Huang Mingyuan, he seemed to have forgotten that the people around him could determine his life and death, and soon he was immersed in technical discussions.

    Huang Mingyuan is a second-hand man in metallurgical technology, and he only knows a little bit about it.  However, many things can already inspire Qi Gongye.

    Of course, Huang Mingyuan was wrong in some of his words, but Qi Gongye also dared to refute on the spot, showing no mercy, which scared the person in charge of the foundry into a cold sweat.

    Huang Mingyuan had a smile on his face the whole time. As a technical person, you don¡¯t need to be overly thoughtful, you must have this kind of fearless spirit.

    Qi Guanhuaiwen¡¯s main contribution is the improvement of the steel filling method and the development of heat treatment.  This is why he is called a metallurgist and not just a master foundry.

    As the inheritor of his craftsmanship, Qi Gongye may not be as talented as his great-grandfather, but he has solid basic skills and a simple personality, making him a qualified technical talent.

    Because people in later generations have seen too much information, they have only a partial understanding of many things and can only speak but cannot do it. The same is true for Huang Mingyuan.  Now that there are talents like Qi Gongye, steelmaking technology will probably reach a higher level.

    Huang Mingyuan announced on the spot that Qi Gongye was the chief engineer of Dahe Steel Plant and Fengzhou Foundry, fully responsible for the technological innovation of the two plants.

    No one knows what a chief engineer is, but since he is responsible for the technology of the two factories, it should be considered a promotion.

    Qi Gongye hurriedly knelt down to thank Huang Mingyuan.  He is just a blacksmith, but an official as big as the general manager actually thinks highly of him and entrusts him with important tasks. He dare not not do his best to repay the favor.

    Huang Mingyuan thought from Qi Gongye that there might be many such talented people in Fengzhou, but they had poor backgrounds and weak personalities, so most of them were buried.  You can't be a god, and you can't always find people like Qi Gongye, so you can only rely on the system to let talents like Qi Gongye stand out.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
