"Zishan, I think you have the temperament of a landlord." Wen Desi smiled, "People are all the spirit of the king, and you are the power of the landlord." ”

"Maybe our ancestors were landlords. My dream has always been to have a big manor, grow vegetables and raise chickens, build a grape trellis, put a rattan chair underneath, and take a teapot to drink tea slowly......"

"It's so enjoyable, but can't you do it now?" Wen Deji said slowly, "We have made a lot of money, this little dream of yours is a small meaning." ”

"It's a pity that the wormhole will disappear one day." Xiao Zishan stretched his muscles, "This time I feel that there are obvious energy fluctuations. ”

"It would be nice if it were a random door for a robot cat." Mr. Wen laughed,

Xiao Zishan laughed: "I haven't finished my words yet. There are also a few cool beauties who are fanning and peeling lychees next to them. A mature woman, a royal sister, a little Lori......" he thought for a moment, "Actually, Colgate's Lori is a good embryo." ”

"That girl," Wen Desi was lying on the sofa peeling off a lychee, "it's not Gao Qing's daughter at all." ”

"Well, there's a big difference in DNA." Xiao Zishan began to register the pile of dishes and porcelain, and every time he came back, he was responsible for registering the trade items and income. Wang Gong went to work in his small machinery factory again, and his enthusiasm for work has been very high recently, so high that both Mr. Wen and Xiao Zishan were surprised - not only did he work overtime all day, but he was also very interested when he came back.

"She has no genetic characteristics of her father at all, and she bears a slight resemblance to her brother. And that height. ”

"Mr. Wen, have you taken a fancy to this long-legged little Lori?"

"You have to put it first, it's a lot of serious things. Let's see what we need to do. ”

"Of course, it's recruitment."

After the third crossing trade, they had more than 20 million cash in their hands, and the conditions for material preparation had been met.

The first task in recruiting troops was to choose a suitable starting point for the assembly - a special place to receive those who would report for duty. Guangzhou is clearly not a suitable place. According to Wen Desi's idea, this location should be relatively remote, close to the location of the future crossing, with enough living facilities to accommodate hundreds of people, and a large open field, preferably a playground.

"What are you going to do in the playground?" Xiao Zishan is inexplicable.

"Exercise," Wen Desi looked at his arm and Xiao Zishan's stomach, "Don't say it, when you want to run for your life, at least you have to outrun the natives of the Ming Dynasty." ”

At present, the soldiers are divided into three ways, Xiao Zishan is more familiar with the coastal cities of Guangdong because he has worked as a salesman, and the matter of finding a base belongs to him. Wang Luobin continued to go back to work in his machine shop. Wen Desi stayed in Guangzhou to prepare for the next trade crossing, while moderating online discussions on the guestbook and discovering the professionals. The first list of invitations has been drawn up.

The fourth person to join the committee was not from the Internet, which was somewhat unexpected.

That night, Wen Desi had just watched the discussion board, and was thinking about who he would talk to separately next, when he suddenly saw Wang Luobin walking in, wearing an oil-stained overalls, sitting on the sofa with an indifferent buttocks, his face full of excitement.

"Wang Gong, what's the good thing about you going to work like this every day?" Wen Deji was curious.

"Mr. Wen, I want you to meet someone."

"Who?" Wen Desi secretly wondered, Wang Gong usually doesn't like to talk, he doesn't communicate much, and he is not a local, why did he suddenly want to introduce people to him?

"My boss." Seeing that Wen Desi was a little unresponsive, he added, "It's the boss of the place where I work, surnamed Zhan." ”

"Huh?"

"I told him about the crossing—"

"What?!" Moon almost jumped.

"Lao Wen, don't get excited, don't get excited," Wang Luobin said, "His surname is Zhan, his name is Zhan Wuyan, he is a technician, his skills are very good, and he is proficient in all aspects of plier planing and milling......

"Okay, let's get down to business, he didn't think you were a psychopath or a liar?"

"Not really, he still wants to participate."

"Participate?" Wen Desi's mind didn't turn for a while, and he asked again, "He also wants to go?" ”

"yes, when I was making a hand-cranked Gatling machine gun with him that day......"

"What!?" This time Wen Deji really jumped up, "Wang Gong!! ”

Quickly lowered the sound - although the room was very well insulated.

"You're crazy! If you make a black gun, you will go to jail! ”

"It's nothing, anyway, when you get to Daming, you always have to make guns. Practice first. Wang Luobin looked indifferent, "What is it that we are engaged in mechanics to make two guns, and the 92 infantry guns of small Japan have been made." ”

"Let's not talk about the 92 artillery of Little Japan, what is the matter with your boss?"

"He especially appreciates your idea, and says that the machining part is handed over to him, and he is ready to move his entire factory over."

Zhan Wuya is not an old worker covered in oil as Mr. Wen imagined, but he is in his early thirties, wearing a T-shirt, his hair is neatly combed, and a pair of hands with large size and rough skin reveal the nature of his profession.

Because of the nature of his work, Mr. Wen usually has a lot of contact with such outsourcing small processing plants. After chatting, the two of them soon had an in-depth discussion on some machining jishu issues, and the common language shortened the distance between the two sides, and soon there was nothing to talk about.

"Mr. Wen, let's put it this way, we are in the mechanical industry, and there is never anything that can't be made." Zhan Wu's words were full of the pride of the working class, "It's just my small factory, I don't dare to say anything about building tanks, and it's still a piece of cake to build some mortars and machine guns." I was ...... when I went to technical school."

As he spoke, he talked for five minutes about how he made a mortar as his graduation project, and then discussed the problem of making guns with Wang Luobin -- and later learned that the main reason why Wang Luobin and Boss Zhan had established a strong friendship so quickly was that both of them were fanatical gun enthusiasts -- Wen Desi quickly stopped the two of them from talking about it, so as not to make people think that this was a black gun gang in the making.

He introduced the main equipment in his factory: 2 shearing machines, 80T1 bending machines, 63T1 punching machines, 5T1 sets, 2 lathes, 1 planer, 1 radial drilling machine, 3 bench drills, 1 cutting machine, 5 electric welding machines, 1 spot welding machine, 1 sawing machine, 1 overhead crane, 1 grinding machine, 2 grinders, 1 set of oxygen welding, 1 air compressor, and 1 set of paint drying room facilities.

"Actually, it's really hard, and there are three major opportunities to live together." Zhan Wuya said, "When I was studying, I liked to read some memoirs of the military industry, and at that time, the people engaged in the military industry were all cattle, so they relied on a lathe and a vise, and they could also make guns, cannons, and machine tools." He thought for a moment, "But the material is very important, if there is no good material, the things made will be discounted, and some of them will not even be able to be processed." In particular, it is important to have the right steel. ”

Wang Luobin said: "We want to establish a metallurgical industry, iron-making, steel-making. ”

"I don't understand that. If the material problem can be solved, in addition to the machine tool can manufacture a variety of professional equipment, the biggest advantage is that it can self-replicate, and the production scale can continue to expand, not afraid of loss. It's a sustainable development. ”

"Indeed, no matter how much you bring, your reserves will run out one day."

"Yes, but there are some things that still have to be brought with us, such as turning tools, which are generally alloy steel or ceramic sintering, which we can't make at first, and grinding wheels, which require special materials, and sintering also has jishu. In addition, I don't know if I can use substitutes for grease, and there are quite a lot of types......"

"We can solve these problems one by one." Wen Desi was in good spirits, "Old Zhan, you will be responsible for the preparation of the industry first." ”

"No problem!" The mood of the exhibition has never been so passionate. I came out of the factory to start my own business, and it has been almost ten years, although there is a small situation, but life has become boring. Tired of dealing with customers every day, at this moment, a new shijie that he has never seen before appeared in front of him, and he is full of fighting spirit and decides to do a big job in this new shijie.

It was on this day that the Industrial Group of the Crossing Committee was formed, and as a customary appellation, it was called the Industrial Mouth. A few days later, another member of the industrial mouth also reported, and this was Ma Qianzhu, who later competed fiercely with Zhan Wuya for the title of the father of industry in his memoirs.

Ma Qianzhuo was originally mixed with Xiao Zishan and the others, and they were a little familiar with each other. At first, however, he did not participate in the discussion of the wormhole, but in another post he was fascinated by the overhead design of his fully mechanical computing center system, named Gear Five. At first, he thought that Mr. Wen's wormhole, like his mechanical computer, was purely overhead, but later when he found out that this group of people was really going to the Ming Dynasty, he quickly found an acquaintance and registered it. As for his motives, he is not at all unusual: only by creating a pure, chipless, new shijie who has become a powerful person himself, can he realize his ideal: a luxury mechanical computing center covering an area of 6,000 acres, 80,000 horsepower, and 20,000 operations per second—this huge machine makes his heart flutter when he thinks about it.

In general, Ma Qianzhu's hobby is basically steampunk, keyword: riveting and steaming. Chimneys and boiler roars: black smoke from coal burning, thick steam erupting from boilers, huge roar of steel colliding, huge steam turbine trains running on the ground, flying gunboats with multiple turrets, hard shells, and countless compartments of helium in the air...... This is his ideal shijie.

After receiving a phone invitation from Wen Desi, he did not hesitate to pack his luggage, quit his job of drawing the frighteningly dense highway blueprint, and set off on the train to Guangdong.

He didn't go to Guangzhou, but to a county-level city that he had never heard of. After getting off the train, I had to transfer to a coach. This place is the starting base that Xiao Zishan found. The traversers will be here to fight and prepare to embark on a path of conquest of the parallel Shijie that will never return.
