Chapter 841 Opening of Liandao Lathe Factory
Su Yan didn't stay in the Holy Land for long this time. She hurriedly visited Jidao New Military Factory before returning to the Principality of Tassel. Su Yan stayed in the Holy Land for too long last month.
On September 1st of the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao took Su Yan, who had rushed back from the Principality of Tassel the night before, to board a super warship from the civilian pier outside the small fisherman's village on Yidao Island, and quickly sailed towards Liandao, the southernmost point of the Holy Land. go.
When Qu Mao and Su Yan landed at the North Port of Liandao, Kong Ming and Liu Qianhui who had arrived ahead of schedule were already waiting at the pier.
Qu Mao said: "Kong Ming, Liu Qianhui, why are you waiting for us here? Don't you need to host the new factory opening?"
Kong Ming smiled wryly and said: "My lord, the reception of visitors at the Jidao New Military Factory did not end until late August.
The subordinates transferred almost all the carpenters and blacksmiths around the Lidao Reservoir Village to Jidao, and together with the apprentices trained in advance for the Liandao Machine Tool Factory, they ensured that all 50 lathes in the Xinjun Factory were laid on August 31.
Beginning in late August, my subordinates commanded Li Xiang remotely to build the Liandao lathe factory. Originally, I wanted to build a few grass sheds as a factory building. Later, I realized that the lathe was developed by you and your subordinates together. Now the factory is going to be mass-produced. It can't be too shabby, a formal factory building is still needed.
Now that the factory building is completed and construction is about to start, it is natural that you need to come to preside over the ceremony in person. Isn’t it the right thing for the subordinates to come to the pier to pick you up? "
Kong Ming came to greet him, and Qu Mao naturally couldn't do anything more. While climbing on the horse that Kong Ming had prepared long ago, he drove the horse to the direction of the Liandao Lathe Factory, and asked Kong Ming: "Kong Ming, the workers are recruited. Yet?"
Driving the horse to walk a few steps quickly to catch up with Qu Mao, Kong Ming nodded and said: "My lord, the workers who start work must have been dispatched now, please rest assured, my lord.
The subordinates recruited 24 craftsmen who were willing to relocate their families to Liandao from among the craftsmen who had participated in the manufacture of lathe parts for adults and their subordinates from the blacksmith shops and carpentry workshops around the outlying island reservoir village to serve as the principals of the Liandao lathe factory. skilled worker.
In addition, among the craftsmen who went to Jidao to support the laying of lathes in the military factory around the outlying island reservoir village, 30 workers who were willing to work in Liandao for half a year and 50 workers who were willing to work in Liandao for three months were recruited as the Liandao lathe factory. of temporary skilled workers.
In addition, regardless of the cost, the subordinates recruited 100 blacksmith apprentices and carpenter apprentices as formal workers of the Liandao Lathe Factory. "
Qu Mao made some calculations and said: "Well, there are 204 skilled workers since the opening, which is a very good start.
I just don’t know how the lathe construction on Jidao is? And has our lathe technology improved? "
After finishing speaking, Qu Mao subconsciously opened the cheating system to take a look. Regarding the cheating value of the lathe, the cheating system rewarded a lot, but it did not generate construction drawings. Mature, even if you think about it, Kong Ming didn't carry out any innovative base upgrades.
Sure enough, Kong Ming shook his head and said helplessly: "My lord, I don't have enough time.
Jidao New Military Factory has a total of 50 lathes. It was originally planned to be installed before October 31. After the adults put forward their opinions, the subordinates again mobilized craftsmen from outlying islands. The laying was expected to be completed in early September, but in fact it was on August 31. All laid in place in advance at night.
In Jidao New Army Factory, the subordinates have been accompanying the craftsmen to work overtime.
Beginning in mid-August, factory managers, university teachers, administrative officials of the islands, and even the army have arranged representatives to visit the new military factory in Jidao. Escorted and received, and even had to answer their questions.
However, in the process of assembling the lathe, the subordinates changed the connecting shaft between the turning tools so that the two turning tools can be adjusted by themselves.
This improvement can ensure that our lathe can not only produce crossbow arrow shafts for shipboard furnaces, but also arrow shafts for bow arrows and crossbow arrows. The specifications of the production arrow shafts can be adjusted by yourself. "
Qu Mao said with a smile: "This is a pretty good improvement, and this improvement will be of great help in the subsequent production of military factories.
Can your new military factory now reach the full production capacity of the 70 military factories in the Holy Land? "
Kong Ming shook his head and said, "My lord, how is this possible?
However, there is no problem with the production capacity of this new military factory in Jidao surpassing the production capacity of all the military factories of the main mainland Liusu Principality and the six major kingdoms. "
Su Yan followed behind Qu Mao and Kong Ming, pouted.
Qu Mao said: "This is not bad, a new military factory can surpass more than a dozen traditional military factories because of the use of new equipment.
Kong Ming, after the Liandao lathe factory is established, Xuande's business alone may be able to reach the end of the year. After all, the military factories are in the hands of Xuande, and the production efficiency of the Jidao new military factory is in the hands of Xuande. Consider gradually improving the entire arsenal at your disposal.
At present, it is because all the military factories are busy completing the orders for the shipborne ballista arrows that Sylvia Oshen needs, and Xuande can't make a move, otherwise the replacement of the military factory equipment has already been ordered. "
Kong Ming nodded and said, "My lord, this subordinate also sees it that way."
Qu Mao, Kong Ming and Su Yan rode their war horses to the Liandao Lathe Factory soon. After Qu Mao gave a simple opening speech, he followed the workers into the workshop to visit the lathe factory.
In addition to the 24 artisans recruited from the surrounding areas of the Outlying Island Reservoir Village, the temporary workers and the new workers recruited by Kong Ming add up to more than 200 people.
Kong Ming explained: "My lord, currently Liandao Machine Tool Factory mainly produces standard lathes, that is, lathes with improved turning tools and adjustable connecting shafts. The subordinates have selected 10 formal old craftsmen to form a research and development team. Improve the lathe."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Well, new workers need to be trained.
In addition, don’t just accept orders from Xuande. Other factories in Holy Land have lathe needs, so they should also accept them. "
Kong Ming said: "My lord, this is necessary. My subordinates are also considering accepting orders for customized lathes from factories of different nature, which can also provide some market demand for the improvement of lathes."
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Kong Ming, you have done a good job. Here I can only wish Mr. Kong Ming a prosperous business."
Kong Ming smiled and said: "My lord, it should be my subordinates who wish you a prosperous business!"
Su Yan said disdainfully: "I wish the two adults a prosperous business!"
The three laughed together.
