In the face of the two beauties who captivated the country and the city, Eugen's patience has greatly improved, and he patiently went from shallow to deep, and then talked back and forth from shallow to shallow, and finally let them both understand how this thing works.

It may be complicated to say, but in fact, the so-called assembly line is a set of things that split the different processes of a job and hand them over to specific people or machines to do, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.

And this set taken out by Eugen is still the most rudimentary, the most primitive version, because there is no oil and gas power to live electricity, Eugen designed the transmission device is powered by livestock.

Let the ordinary pack horse, or simply let the donkey pull the leash, which in turn pulls the gears to spin and power the factory.

Of course, windmills or waterwheels could be used for this purpose, but both of these devices were difficult to control and too difficult to design, so Eugen didn't think about it.

In addition to the drivetrain, there is also a simple conveyor belt, which is the main part of Eugen's design, with some auxiliary tools for precision machining and so on.

The line was so rudimentary that it was hard to imagine what could be done with it, and although Maria and the others understood how to use it, they couldn't think of anything they could do with it.

Eugen smiled mysteriously, and led the two of them to look at the other drawings placed next to the assembly line drawings, which were the same drawings that caused the old mayor to exclaim.

These drawings were concise and easy to understand, and Margaret said in a tone of confusion and some certainty at first glance: "This is, musket?" ”

Eugen gave her an appreciative look and said with a smile, "That's right, this is the musket, but it's an improved version." ”

On those drawings, including the barrel, sights, magazines, pistons, receivers and so on more than a dozen parts, not only the graphics are depicted in great detail, but the numbers attached to them are also densely packed with a large area, and people are dazzled by it.

Margaret had seen a musket, but she had never seen such a complex musket, and she had the impression that the musket was a half-sealed iron pipe, filled with some gunpowder, and then rolled through the muzzle of the gun into an iron ball, and so on.

But looking at Eugen's drawings, it is like turning the musket into a work of art, with countless extra parts that need to be carved in it, some of which are even as small as a grain of rice.

"Are you sure? Eugen? Margaret couldn't imagine it, so she looked at Eugen again with suspicion.

Eugen smiled confidently and said, "That's right, the combination of these parts is a complete musket, and the palm-sized drawing over there is the bullet of the musket." The assembly line is also designed for muskets, and it will be faster to manufacture with the help of the assembly line. ”

"Didn't the factory in the city be set up before, and I have asked Mr. Mayor to gather all the blacksmiths there, and some carpenters to cooperate, and then my request for this factory is to concentrate all my efforts and make the first musket for me first."

Eugen looked at the two beauties and said seriously, he believed that in business, the two of them would definitely be reliable.

Maria also understood Eugen's intentions, but she still said with some doubts: "Yes, but even if every blacksmith comes to make this kind of musket, it will probably take a long time for them to build a complete musket by themselves......"

Speaking of this, Maria suddenly stopped, opened her eyes and muttered, "Wait, you mean, each of their blacksmiths only needs to make one of these parts, and then assemble what everyone has made to complete a musket?!" ”

"Clever!" Eugen smiled excitedly and said: "That's right, every part of the musket must be strictly accurate in its size, so that all blacksmiths can create the one part they are responsible for according to the specified standards, and then assemble them to form a complete musket." So what I'm saying is that an entire factory builds a musket, not a single person. ”

Hearing Eugen's explanation, Maria's eyes lit up completely, and for them, this was a new way of thinking.

Indeed, it is impossible for one person to build such a complex gun structure, which is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, but if it is replaced by countless people to build it together, it will immediately reduce the difficulty by several notches.

And as the blacksmith's proficiency increases, the speed of construction can be further accelerated, and the question is whether the parts can work together with each other, but as long as everyone follows the rules, it will definitely work together.

Margaret on the side was also shocked when she heard this whimsical idea, and there was more appreciation in her eyes when she looked at Eugen, not to mention anything else, judging from her talent alone, Eugen can be said to be a genius.

At this time, the old mayor, who had been standing aside for a long time and had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Lord Eugen, your idea is indeed very good, and there should be no big problem in implementing it, but have you ever thought that we have invested so much, just to build a musket, the cost will not be too high, after all, the use of muskets on the battlefield is far less than the role of a cavalry, with this money, we can build a whole cavalry team." ”

The old mayor said something, but he analyzed the stakes of this matter, relatively speaking, the old mayor is more concerned about financial issues, after all, now Lybor City has been saddled with a lot of debts, in terms of making money, Eugen's idea is obviously a bit more than worth the loss.

"No, no, no, Mr. Mayor, you only see one aspect." Eugen said with a smug smile: "I dare to assure you that as long as such things are created, there will be a steady stream of wealth flowing into our hands, and this investment at this time is nothing at all." ”

Hearing Eugen say this, the old mayor naturally did not object, in the final analysis, Eugen is the lord of Leber, he just made a suggestion, and the person who finally made the decision was Eugen.

Margaret and Maria did not oppose Eugen in this matter, and directly decided that from tomorrow, the factory will officially carry out the experimental production of muskets and assembly lines.

The matter was decided, and the meeting was coming to an end, when a guard suddenly broke into the conference room with a letter in his hand.

"Lord Eugen, an urgent letter from Prince Eugen of Vienna, please read it immediately!" The guard said anxiously, as if he didn't want to delay for a second.
