Chapter 170 Machine Age

Biological modulation is like the Sage Stone, and Yang's last foul almost attracted the attention of the top mainland forces. Even if he and Hong have no taboos, they should consider this occasion to ask about the trouble that Wolford would bring to the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, he just chatted with Wolford for a quick chat. He still couldn't talk in depth on such occasions. Anyway, he could win this manor and have time to study it in the future.

Since everyone is determined to win this manor, in their eyes, a few empty beasts are not considered at all. They have even fought against the Demon of the Abyss and the Tooth of the Wild Beast, and are full of confidence in passing the test. Since Yang and the others are satisfied with this gift, the head of the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce's arms department will certainly not object. Their words are enthusiastic and their relationships are much more familiar.

After receiving such a big gift from others, he always had to give some gifts back. Yang was also very knowledgeable and took out a thick plan from the mustard bag and handed it over to everyone for circulating it. Yang explained that this was some solutions he had come up with to solve the current excessive arms orders and the productivity of the Chamber of Commerce could not keep up with the demand. The information was turned around in people's hands, and everyone who was drunk and hot woke up.

The Dandelion Chamber of Commerce is a top business organization in the mainland. It can be a senior executive in it, but not just flattering. In addition to certain business skills, other knowledge about astronomy and geography must be studied so that it can gain a foothold in the fierce business war. Therefore, except for Wolford, a person who was absorbed in just because of his good relationship with Yang, all the others in the Ministry of Arms are elites trained by the Chamber of Commerce for a long time. They are novel and surprised by the views in the Yang Plan.

The content inside is actually quite simple, that is, it requires the implementation of mechanized large-scale industrial production and adopt standardized processing methods. The core goal is to use machines instead of manual labor. Standardized processing mentions a series of ways to uniformly mark the parameters on various arms design drawings. Most parts sizes must reach the level of accuracy to millimeter error. There are also rigid regulations on part processing methods, styles, and materials.

This lays the foundation for the next step to make the same size of gunpowder weapon parts interchangeable and large-scale production. There is no shortage of skilled craftsmen in this world, but manpower is always determined. The crushing workers who work overtime cannot compare to the tireless and have a large machine with consistent processing accuracy. At the same time, it can leave more room for upgrading in the design and greatly improve labor productivity.

This is not a flash of inspiration for Yang. Since he wanted to do arms business, Yang should refer more to the history of the development of firearms on the earth. It was discovered that in the hundreds of years after the birth of firearms, muskets and cannons were at most some kind of "shock weapons", but the firearm troops did not mean to replace the traditional cavalry, skeleton, and bow troops on a large scale. The rapid development of guns and cannon technology will not begin until after the British Industrial Revolution.

This industrial revolution was a production and scientific revolution in which machines replaced manpower and large-scale factory production and manual production in individual workshops. Since the invention and use of machines became the symbol of this era, historians called this era the "machine era". Without the large-scale use of steam engines and coal and steel, hundreds of guns and ammunition would never be built overnight, and all British soldiers who were fired into fire could not defeat ancient civilizations such as the Celestial Kingdom and India, colonize the whole world, and become the "Empire of the Sun".

Although the formula of the magic nuclear gunpowder given to the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce was of epoch-making significance, he deliberately left a hand, which resulted in insufficient power of the gunpowder. Nine Realms are not the Indian natives who can conquer the mainland with one or two smoothbore muskets. Faced with opponents with long-range attack power such as magic and martial arts, small-scale firearm teams do not have an advantage. Only an army armed with a large number of guns and can reveal the power of firepower coverage on the battlefield.

The Dandelion Arms Department’s most worried about now is that its production capacity is not as high as order demand. Many large orders are powerless and can only be spared in vain. It is really envious. Yang’s plan is undoubtedly a timely rain. Standardized production of weapon parts is only the first step. Yang’s plan also proposed that the Chamber of Commerce allocate special places to establish centralized factories, recruit and train technical workers, and establish quality inspection departments. Each weapon must be strictly inspected when it leaves the factory to ensure product quality and reputation, etc.

Many of these production methods have appeared on the mainland, but it is the first time that Yang classified them and explained them in a comprehensive manner, which made everyone feel refreshed. At this time, there were already early factories, textiles, printing and dyeing, horse and carriages and other industries on the mainland that employed a large number of workers, but Yang had thought so thoughtful since the start of construction and needed so many people, but it has never been possible.

However, no matter how many people are, there is no Yang designed a complete set of industrial master machines for large-scale production, which made the arms department unbearable. If the machine age still needs to be built by workers one by one, it will not be able to improve efficiency, and the other will not be able to achieve the industrial manufacturing accuracy required by Yang. Therefore, the design drawings of large-scale stoves for steel, turning, milling, planing, grinding, boring, drilling and other professional machine tools are dazzled.

Of course, as the core of the "machine age", these machines have also undergone magic transformation in accordance with the rules of the Nine Realms. At present, the world cannot create steam engines and internal combustion engines for the time being, but with magical magic substitutions, it is not too difficult to make the machine move. The magic furnace and energy array are common items here. The alchemy of the goblin empire could create floating cities, war statues, sky mechanical dragons and other things. Now the magic cores are everywhere, so it is not difficult to find a way to provide continuous and stable power output.

The magic nuclear gun gun he designed is actually an alchemy work. Because magic nuclear gunpowder cannot be triggered by ordinary striker and bottom fire, the trigger and hammer of the magic nuclear gunpowder gun are engraved with miniature magic arrays. Only after the two collide with each other can the trace elements in the magic nuclear debris can they be stimulated. The barrel and gun handle are engraved with magic arrays to prevent blowing and cause chain reactions. Although they look very similar to the smoothbore gun on the earth, they are still works with authentic alchemy principles inside.

Therefore, no one on the table thought about Yang's proposal to adopt a large-scale industrial production model to make a "revolution". They all thought that this was an excellent solution that Yang once again came up with his "master" alchemy skills for everyone's common cause. He is worthy of being a talent that the Alchemy Association has high hopes for!

They are all business experts. After a few glances, they can see the cleverness of this plan. They are so itchy that they can't help but go back immediately and have people publish more. As compulsory materials within the Chamber of Commerce, they will study them carefully. Until then, people outside Wolford were completely convinced by Yang and his collaborators. Originally, they were all senior executives in the Chamber of Commerce, but the name of the business alliance was of no country, but the reality of their country. Their identities were no different from those of foreign senior officials.

This time they were flattered and deliberately made good use of themselves. They originally only valued his talent as an alchemist designer. They thought he was a nerd who was engaged in theoretical design. They would not say that he could handle the market with ease after meeting him. They could also propose clever improvement plans for specific production measures, and they solved their most troublesome production capacity and yield rates problems as soon as they took action. And according to his plan, these machines can obviously not only be used in arms, but other commodities that require production volume can also be copied by the Chamber of Commerce. This gift of millions of gold coins is so valuable!

Both guests took their own needs, and the atmosphere at the banquet was immediately warmer. After holding up Yang's plan, Earl Honker, the leader of the arms department, vowed to promise that he would speak to the president of the Chamber of Commerce. If the plan was implemented smoothly, he would definitely apply for a patent for this "Yang's Working Method". In the future, anyone who adopts the industrial machinery and process flow he designed must pay the patent fee for it. At the same time, he ensured that Yang could get the estate contract at the manor as quickly as possible, and Yang and the others would not have to worry about the servants and maids, and the cost of house renovation. As long as they formulate the charter, they would be ready in as soon as possible, and they would definitely let them move in before school starts.

After drinking and eating, the leaders of the Military Affairs Department wanted to serve Yang, the God of Wealth, and quickly found a group of subordinates who were most familiar with the college and the city, and asked them to act as tour guides to take Yang and the others to the school to report. In addition, it is the winter festival at the end of the year, and the mainland attaches great importance to the four-season festival. The winter festival represents the successful end of the year. People who have worked hard for a year can finally hide in the house and enjoy a rare leisure time in the cold and snowy days.

Although Miner City is located in the south and it is difficult to see snow all over the sky, the employers in the city will rarely give their hard-working subordinates half a month off to celebrate the birth and the arrival of the New Year of Miner City. Therefore, the winter festival is the most lively day in the city, and they also let their subordinates take the Yang and enjoy the joyful celebrations in the city.

During the winter festival every year, the school city is the core location for various gatherings and performances. The rate of young people here is the highest, and it is in an era of impulsiveness and unrestrainedness. The folk customs of the four major business alliances are open. Many strange things and dazzling performance patterns are first seen at the festival, and then quickly spread to the whole country and even the whole mainland. Just look at the "Black Tornado" building, which is the symbol of the school, and you will know how unfair the things that are related to art are.

This time of year, the new students of Minel School are enrolled again. When the graduates leave school, their nostalgia for the school and classmates makes the students relax and play. The most famous carnival parade in mainland China started here and formed a special term for "carnival". Yang and others joined the carnival crowd under the guidance of the tour guide. Xing and the others are still young, and Hong himself vowed to break the knife from the past and never do anything else. They only know how to practice and ignore the things around them. They have been accusing of the carnival parade in Minel City for a long time. Yang likes lively people. The group squeezes to the joyful main road to enjoy the famous float exhibition parade.
