Yang Weishi finally entered the Lu family system this time and became a quasi-mechanic in the Lu family system.

The so-called quasi-mechanic is a title temporarily set by Lu Yuan.

Because Lu Yuan didn't fully believe that the blacksmiths recruited by Zuo Tiejian were good enough, and it was also to put some pressure on these craftsmen who had just entered the Lu family system, so he didn't let them serve as mechanics at the beginning.

Although he was a quasi-mechanic, Yang Weishi, like other craftsmen who had just arrived, was still willing to come to Qingshui Town Fort to do this kind of work for one or two silver a month.

After all, here, you don't have to bear the cost of buying iron, and you don't have to hand over the silver, and the one or two pieces of silver you get go into your pocket.

When Yang Weishi came to Qingshui Town, he was first taken to the residential area.

The residential area has now opened up an area as the Sixth Production Group of Qingshui Town, which is dedicated to the residential area of these new immigrants.

Although it is a thatched house, Yang Weishi is still attracted by the residential area here, because he finds that the residential area here is very clean and tidy, unlike the city where he lives, the streets are full of sewage and dirty things, and it is not easy to get off in rainy days, and even potholes, and the road here seems to be tamped flat, and there is no smell of the stench.

Yang Weishi was quite curious about this, and when he arrived at the steel plant, he was shocked by the busyness and scale of the steel plant.

He had never seen such a steel mill, the whole gate, even the valley was lined with blast furnaces, a strong man wearing a rattan hat pushing a wooden wheel cart back and forth between the blast furnaces, from time to time iron ore was pushed in, and then all kinds of steel rods, ingots and steel cakes were pushed into a number of sheds called Chunfeng Machinery Company.

Yang Weishi was very surprised by this: "Why is this steel production speed so fast, doesn't it need to mix pig iron and wrought iron to fry and smelt?" ”

When Yang Weishi approached, he saw that the water from a blast furnace had directly solidified into steel, and he suddenly sat on the ground in surprise: "This is amazing, it is actually directly made into steel!" ”

At this time, Zuo Tiejian walked over: "Blacksmith Yang, come with me, you are now a quasi-mechanic, but your duty is still responsible for making springs." ”

"Brother Zuo, this, this, what's going on, why did you just get out of the molten steel?"

Yang Weishi asked tremblingly.

"I'm the same as you, I couldn't believe it at first, but it's true that Lu Gongzi used this furnace to make molten steel, Lu Gongzi called it liquid steel, in short, I think this Lu Gongzi is the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, there is nothing he doesn't know, at least people can directly boil out molten steel, unlike us who have to fry slowly."

Zuo Tiejian said and took Yang Weishi to a shack: "In the future, this will be your studio, you are responsible for building springs, and I will find you if you need anything." ”

Yang Weishi nodded after hearing what Zuo Tiejian said, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Zuo, is this directly burned molten steel easy to use?" ”

"More powerful than Sugang", Zuo Tiejian said.

"Really?" Yang Weishi asked in disbelief, as far as he knew, Sugang was the best steel at the moment.

Yang Weishi said again: "I just brought a pair of iron chopsticks made of Sugang, do you have a knife made of this steel here, I want them to try chopping." ”

"Yes, I'll show you the world."

As he spoke, Zuo Tiejian called in a family member who was guarding outside the machinery company: "Brother Fan Siyuan, this brother doesn't believe that your young master's steel is good, you use a new big knife to chop his iron chopsticks." ”

Yang Weishi became playful, put the iron chopsticks he had always liked on the desk, and said to Fan Siyuan: "This brother, my chopsticks are made of Su Gang, if your knife is cut off, don't blame me." ”

Fan Siyuan snorted, pulled out the knife with both hands, and then clenched the chopsticks towards Yang Weishi and slashed down.

Boom.

Yang Weishi's chopsticks were broken in two.

Yang Weishi was stunned on the spot: "This, this, how is this possible, how could the Su steel that the Sudi craftsmen painstakingly blended with the method of wicker frying steel be cut off by a steel knife made of molten steel directly burned!" Brother, is your knife really made of molten steel burned outside? ”

"Why am I lying to you, there is also a number written on it, three, three four, that is, the fourth furnace of molten steel in the third shift of the No. 3 blast furnace."

Fan Siyuan replied, looked at Yang Weishi with disdain, and said in his belly: "What I don't know, I just laughed at my son-in-law's magic skills!" ”

Yang Weishi was completely convinced at this time, and only said to Zuo Tieji: "In that case, Brother Zuo, isn't it too wasteful to use this thing to make springs." ”

Because of Lu Yuan's division of labor system, Yang Weishi still doesn't know the reason why he was asked to make springs, so he always thought that the springs were just made by Lu Gongzi for fun.

"You don't have to worry about this, your duty is to make a better spring, if it is better than the previous spring, it will give you a reward, of course, you can also invent some other machinery after work, if you make something new, you will also be rewarded at that time, and what patents are there, this is all what Childe said."

Zuo Tiejian left Yang Weishi's place as he spoke, after all, he still had a lot of things to do.

Yang Weishi nodded, he was no stranger to the word machinery now, and he knew what it meant, so he thought about what he should do while making springs with spring breeze steel.

After living in Qingshui Zhenbao for a few days, Yang Weishi felt more and more strange about the entire Chunfeng Iron and Steel Plant and Chunfeng Machinery Company.

He found that everyone in the entire Chunfeng Iron and Steel Plant and Chunfeng Machinery Company has their own clear responsibilities, and it seems that it is really the assembly line that Lu Gongzi said at the meeting, the iron ore mined in the mining area enters the steel plant through screening, and then smelted into molten steel by the steel plant, and then becomes all kinds of steel according to the requirements of the machinery company, and then the various mechanics and quasi-mechanics make different shapes of steel into the parts and tools needed above.

But Yang Weishi found that because of this, he only knew how to make springs, but he didn't know how iron ore was mined, how molten steel was smelted, and he didn't even know what other mechanics were making.

Lu Yuan did start an assembly line of steel and machinery industry production process, and he even planned to set up an engineering academy and an academy of sciences to be responsible for the design of various types of machinery in the future, and then the mechanics of these machinery companies would only be responsible for making mechanical parts according to the design.

But these naturally have to come step by step, and what Lu Yuan lacks most now is talents, especially soldiers.

Now he has 12 family members, and the only 50 or so adult males in Qingquan Village have to undertake the production of the steel industry and part of the agricultural production.

Therefore, Lu Yuan must now recruit more soldiers from the displaced people as soon as possible.

Lu Yuan had already asked Uncle Fei to carry out this work very early, so while Yang Weishi waited for the quasi-mechanic to come to Qingquan Village with his family with the moving fee, there were also many homeless people who came to Qingquan Village because of the slogan "When you go to Qingquan Village, you will have food and money".

The person in charge of the promotion of this slogan is still Zhou Gou'er.

"Uncle, there are now 537 homeless people registered in the house, of which 311 are adult men over the age of 16."

After the first batch of displaced people arrived in Qingquan Village, Caiyi reported the relevant data to Lu Yuan.
