Sally on the side of "Tyrion ......" was about to say something, but Tyrion preemptively showed her determination: "Sally, you have also seen what a wonderful weapon this musket is, and it is still an epoch-making weapon.As a weaponsmith, I must go to Frontier to meet the blacksmith who made it. ”"Ahh"Okay, if you want to go, go ahead.But in order to prevent you from messing around, I must accompany you. ”"That's fine."
Tilion said happily."
Moore, Art."
Then, Sally turned to look at the two of them and ordered, "Please lead the two of you back to Nowa to submit the mission." ”"Understood, Sally.""
I see."
Art and Moore responded, respectively.On the other side, Tilion looked at Keman again and asked expectantly, "Acting Patriarch Keman, can you take us to Frontier Town?"
Just pointing in the right direction. ”The dwarven clan's blacksmith skills are indeed very powerful, and the lord must be happy to see them coming.Thinking of this, Keman nodded and agreed, "Your Excellency Tilion, you can follow our team to transport the second batch of white milk to Frontier Town. ”"Oh!
That's great, thank you very much, Acting Patriarch Keman. ”…… Frontier Town.Owen had just received a report from Viru that the building dedicated to the production of steam engines had finally been built.The factory is located in the northeast of Bianshu Town, close to the Weishui River, where the wooden board house where the hydraulic milling machine is stored.Today, the wooden house has long since been demolished and replaced by a large and spacious factory building, and the number of water wheels erected above the river has increased by a few times.A large area of land around the factory is fenced off, and Owen intends to use the land as industrial land in the future.According to the plan, all kinds of factories and industrial equipment built in the future will be concentrated in the northern part of the border town, near the area of the Transverse or Tianqiong Mountains, and will be built into an industrial park.The various machine tools were also dismantled, removed from the previously cramped machine room, sent into the building, and reassembled in a predetermined location.These machines also use different power sources, some use steam-powered, some are hydraulically driven, and some are manual by man.In terms of machining accuracy, these machine tools have also achieved the highest level of existing technology.Not only that, but a adobe house was built outside the factory as a blacksmith shop, storing various iron-making tools, which could be used to make some unimportant parts.Most of the parts of the steam engine will be machined by the machine tools in the factory in the future.Before that, many parts of the steam engine were hammered out by blacksmiths.Now it is necessary to replace the machine tools with skilled workers to process parts, and if the operation is skilled, the efficiency of the production of steam engines will be greatly improved.Jumping from handmade to machine-made is a qualitative leap.The workers were mainly blacksmith apprentices, and a few new recruits were recruited.Skilled blacksmiths were responsible for the production of new muskets, which was more important than the steam engine.In order to be the first to master how to operate various machine tools and assemble a steam engine, Geeta put a lot of effort into learning and put together a flow diagram that could be easily understood by the blacksmith apprentices.I don't know if it's because Geeta often stays up late to study, but Owen finds that his hairline is receding more and more, and there is a tendency to become Clive's Mediterranean.In short, Gitta's hard work moved Owen very much, and he also gave him a salary increase, and told him to pay attention to rest and not to get tired.It is definitely the luck of Frontier Town to have such talents.On the morning of the official opening of the plant, Owen also held a simple opening ceremony and delivered a speech.In the middle of the speech, some of the town hall officials yawned and put on a look of disinterest, as if they had not yet realized what it meant for machines to replace human labor.In the days that followed, Owen would take time out to inspect the workers in the factory almost every day.Sure enough, it is quite difficult to become a qualified skilled worker.Owen often saw Geeta scolding the apprentice for making a bunch of substandard parts, and even scolded an apprentice with poor psychological tolerance.It cannot be said that Geeta is too strict, as is the case with standardized production in the factory.If a bunch of substandard parts are machined, it is impossible to assemble a complete steam engine.Of course, Owen also gave those blacksmith apprentices time to trial and error and practice.The processed waste is sent to be remelted and poured, and then brought back to practice how to operate the machine repeatedly.Sooner or later, these people will process qualified parts and become the first skilled workers in the border town.In addition to the steam engine plant, there was also a military factory close to the Trans-Mine area, which had been converted and expanded from a former cement factory, and was responsible for the production of new muskets and the processing of warheads and cartridge cases.…… The first batch of natural rubber latex finally arrived in Frontier Town, and Owen opened the lid and saw the real thing for the first time, which looked like a viscous milky white liquid that looked a lot like milk.It is said that natural latex is exposed to the air, and under the action of oxygen and microorganisms, it will cause the acidity of the latex to increase, and the phenomenon of natural solidification will occur.In order to prevent natural solidification, a certain amount of alkaline liquid needs to be added as a protective agent.Keeping his promise first, Owen transferred a small amount of natural latex to Winster for research.An unexpected discovery soon followed, the natural latex collected in the Mystery Forest had an extremely thin film of magic on its surface.As a result, freshly harvested natural latex can be stored for a long time without natural solidification, even when exposed to air.In other words, there is no need to add alkaline solution as a protective agent at all, just pack it in a jar and transport it over.With the protection of this magic film, it is also a lot of worry.It's no wonder that when Owen explains to the lizardmen why he added the alkaline solution, Rusha says with a strange look on his face that the white milk doesn't seem to solidify so quickly.Upon learning of this discovery, Owen couldn't help but sigh that he believed the information from Winster's side so much that he almost forgot that due to the existence of magic here, the nature of some things would be slightly different.It is also very simple to break the protection of the magic film, by physical stirring or by adding some acid directly to it, the natural rubber latex can be solidified.Of course, physical stirring may require a lot of labor intensity.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
