The pitch-black machine began to tremble.

Foreman stood in the power shop, urging his two apprentices to shovel coal into the boiler rhythmically.

The steam engine is a kind of external combustion engine, no matter how complex the structure is, it is essentially boiling water and using the power of steam to do work.

As the water temperature increases, the jitter of the steam engine gradually decreases.

The shaking sound has also become much more pleasant.

"Please follow me. Freeman politely addressed Rose and the women behind her.

Get out of the power workshop and back to the big workshop.

From the power shop came a long mechanical part, and next to this, there was a long strut.

Freeman pushed the strut hard, and the dislocated gears snapped together, and the metal parts in the large workshop began to move.

The passages, riveted together by pieces of metal, began to move as if they had been brought to life.

From the source on this side, it stretches all the way to the other side of the building.

Near the end of the big workshop, it turned back and finally came back here, forming a closed loop.

"This—is this?" asked Rose, somewhat shocked. Her tone of shock had even drowned out the noise coming from the power shop.

Freeman looked at his long, big baby, finally in front of the others, with a smug smile on his face.

He said, "Boss Doug said it's called an assembly line. He said that with the assembly line, the workers don't have to move, as long as the assembly line is moving. Starting here and ending there, the finished product is made.

It's not just that, it's ......."

I saw Freeman, this time moving a pole that hung on the wall.

Hanging above the assembly line, the ugly and non-existent machinery also began to operate.

These machines look a little abrupt, and they don't want to be as continuous as the production line.

However, when Rose looked at them carefully and understood what they did, he was even more shocked.

This time, Freeman did not explain in words, but in deeds.

He spread a piece of cloth the size of a Monopoly canvas on a metal tray and fixed the canvas on the tray.

Then, with a flick of the tray, he hung it on the hook of the scaly production line.

The whole pallet began to move forward.

Freeman walked forward with the pallet, saying as he walked, "There are still many flaws in the current system. For example, this machine has not yet been linked to the production line. Each time you turn it on, you have to set it up individually.

So ......"

Freeman pulls down a smaller pole as the canvas tray is approaching.

At this time, a metal plate on the machine was pressed down.

When it reaches the very bottom, the canvas is at the very bottom of it.

Freeman was slightly relieved to see that it was just right.

But in the blink of an eye, the metal plate was lifted.

Ross clearly saw that the canvas on the tray already had a monochrome pattern.

Freeman began to move again, and he walked faster than the assembly line could run.

When he came to the next same machine, he found the right time to pull the small pole again.

Let the steam flow in from the unobstructed pipes and start driving the machine.

The second one is also pressed!

This time, another color has been added to the canvas.

And then it's the third time!

It's pressed again!

All the patterns and text on the Monopoly canvas are painted in the colors of three synthetic dyes.

Freeman took off the tray and walked up to Ross proudly, "This is what Boss Doug has kept me busy these past few months. ”

Ross and several of the female workers did not answer, they were already stunned by the scene before them.

They gathered around the tray and looked at the canvas in the tray.

The pattern on it, in the discerning eyes of the female workers, is not the best product and has subtle flaws.

But in any case, the handwriting on it is clear and suddenly clear.

It takes only two or three minutes to walk around the production line, but it achieves the effect that it takes twenty or thirty minutes for female workers to draw.

This...... Isn't that scary......

If the production line becomes this kind of assembly line, I am afraid that the daily output can be increased tenfold?

Ross thought so.

The women workers thought differently, they looked at the assembly line that was still running, and they looked at the production line that was so efficient.

They suddenly wondered if there was no need for so many female workers. Some of them are going to lose their jobs.

Freeman didn't understand their respective asses and minds.

He said, "Boss Doug has asked you to give your opinion, and you can do so now." ”

Only then did Rose remember the purpose of his visit, and forcibly pulled his eyes out of the tray.

asked the female worker, "What do you think of this assembly line, how to work comfortably?"

"Lord...... Supervisor...... What else do we need to do with those machines?" said a female worker, pointing to the three machines that were in different parts of the assembly line, but pressed down at the same rhythm.

Rose's mind began to spin quickly when he heard this.

"With this machine, I don't have to paint the whole canvas by hand.

However, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done.

For example, Freeman's action of fixing the canvas on a tray just now requires someone to do it;

For example, someone has to do it if you hang a tray on those scales.

Also, you can see these places on the canvas, and there are many flaws.

Therefore, although the whole painting is no longer necessary, it still requires many people to repair these imperfections by hand.

And also!

Finally, there must be enough people to ensure the stability of quality.

Even though the machine is producing faster, it seems that there is a lot less room for human work.

However, there are still many things that need to be done by hand.

However, I certainly don't say it completely.

Mr. Freeman, can we take a closer look at how the assembly line is produced? Only then can we determine what improvements are available. ”

Ross said logically and quickly.

Only then did she realize that the boss asked her to come here, not as simple as making a few suggestions for modifications.

Instead, she was asked to design a new production process for Monopoly.

However, although she has just been reassuring female workers, saying that there will be no fewer jobs.

However, even if there will be no fewer jobs, where will "Monopoly", whose output will increase tenfold at once, be sold?

If you can't sell it, your inventory is overstocked, and in the end, you still have to reduce jobs.

However, she could think about these words but not say them.

Everything she says should be in a positive direction.

"Look, be careful, these machines are powerful, don't hurt them. Freeman said after showing off his big treasure, perhaps not receiving the praise he expected, and suddenly said with some humor.
