Chapter 246: Lumber Mill

Xiao Jing was not sick at all, he was supposed to come out on the day of the negotiation, but because a broken band saw in the timber mill and scattered saw blade fragments injured several nearby workers, he had to go to the scene to direct the disposal - after all, the timber mill was his one-third of an acre. . c o m

Xiao Jing just took over the timber distillation kiln on the beach at that time, but unknowingly, the timber mill at hand has developed into a large-scale factory covering an area of six square kilometers, with 26 factories and more than 1,500 workers.

Matches are now also one of the main finished products in the Oriental Port, and are loved by merchants who come to purchase products, especially those of the Wu Dynasty, who basically want as many as they want. The Wu Dynasty did not have ignition tools, most people had been exposed to fire sickles, but the theory of fire sickles is the same as the principle of lighters in the old world, which is to produce sparks by striking flints to ignite ignition objects. However, there are no kerosene or butane gas tanks in the New World, and the current ignition is basically fire velvet, which is easily ignited when it encounters fire with the cotton made of the young leaves of mugwort, but it requires skill to make a fire, and it is very difficult to ignite in wet weather. In the case of matches, the operation of the sickle is cumbersome, and the ignition failure rate is high, so it is completely unadvantageous in front of the match. In the case of a match, as long as you use a phosphorus head to point at the piece of paper that looks black, it can be ignited, and it can be burned for tens of seconds without extinguishing when the wind is not strong, and it can be carefully lit even in a windy place, as long as it is not seriously damp, there is basically no possibility of fire failure. Moreover, a box of matches is far from a huge sickle that is easy to carry, and a matchbox can carry at least seventy or eighty matches, which can basically meet the needs of daily life.

"Chief, this is the production line for matchsticks." The director of the match factory who followed next to him hurriedly introduced to Xiao Jing that the machine in front of him was roaring, and several workers were pouring sacks of matchsticks into the feed port of the machine, and then a conveyor belt sent the matchsticks into the processing line.

In front of him was a large pool of black, viscous liquid, which was the chemical agent of the match head. It is made from a mixture of chemical materials such as potassium chlorate and sulfur, of course, the purity of these chemical materials is a bit disappointing, so the ignition rate of these matches is not the same as that of the old world, but even then it can easily kill the fire sickle.

The metal clamped the matchstick and slowly sank towards the pool, and then the matchhead soaked in the liquid for a while, and then rose. The matchsticks soon became covered with small round blisters, and instead of sending them away, the metal raised them some distance and hung in the air.

At this moment, on both sides of the metal, there are two large air outlets, blowing wind towards the metal. This is hot air blowing from a wood retort kiln to dry the water in the match head so that the chemical components can remain in the matchstick and not drip back.

There was another sheet of metal hanging from this metal square, and the metal was densely hung with matches that had been dried, and a grappling hook hooked the metal and slowly moved forward—this speed was not slow, in order to keep the friction of the metal on the matchstick not changing too much, so as to avoid the match falling out and causing losses.

The movements of the entire assembly line are as fast and accurate as the program is set, and the workers are also very quick and precise due to their long-term work. Xiao Jing stood aside and watched their movements with some astonishment, many of the female workers' movements couldn't even see clearly, but they saw their hands move, and a box of matches was thrown into the packing box.

At this moment, on both sides of the metal, there are two large air outlets, blowing wind towards the metal. This is hot air blowing from a wood retort kiln to dry the water in the match head so that the chemical components can remain in the matchstick and not drip back.

The current wages of Dongfang Port are not to mention Annam Province, even if it is the entire Wu Dynasty, even if it is Jiangsu and Zhejiang with a certain industrial base, it is absolutely unique, and the work enthusiasm of the naturalized migrant workers in Dongfang Port is absolutely high, and they also have extreme enthusiasm for the work that may be improved in production. The result of the workers' enthusiasm for production is that the work efficiency is extremely high, and the movements of each worker are very quick and accurate, no matter what the factory, the workers are very satisfied with this kind of work that can get a considerable salary as long as they work hard, and many workers have taken the initiative to ask for overtime in order to get more wages.

Naturally, the Senate will not learn from the Taiwanese, they can only shrink into that isolated island after the founding of the new country, gradually isolated by the whole world, and their heads can only be filled with resentment towards the world and others, and over time they have become so ridiculous. At this moment, all the workers in the industrial system of the Senate have corresponding treatment standards, although they are distributed according to work, but there are also strict requirements for working hours and rest periods, if they are forced to work overtime more than the working hours, the longer the working hours of the person will be deducted from the "overdue time consumption fund", and only the more efficient people can get the bonus. In other words, employees are not allowed to work overtime, and work tasks are required to be completed during working hours as much as possible. Everyone knows that if they know that they have to work overtime, very few workers will devote themselves wholeheartedly to their work, and they will often grind foreign workers, delay time, waste working hours, and cause greater and more waste to the factory, all of which the Senate is firmly opposed.

In order to prevent confusion in loading, each product has its corresponding unloading point, and there is also a sequence when loading. It is not once or twice that the wrong cargo is loaded in the port of Vostochny, and several times when the Medno cargo ships enter the port, they have complained to the Ministry of Commerce and Trade that a batch of products that should have been loaded into them has been replaced with a batch of cheaper products, and they only find out when they arrive at the place of sale, but at this time they are often already in the boat, and they can only make less money and throw away the goods. The more expensive products have been replaced by cheaper products, then there must have been cheap products that have been replaced by expensive products, but those Medeno merchants have made a fortune without squeaking.

Xiao Jing saw the loading situation, nodded with satisfaction, took out a cigarette from his pocket, held it in his mouth and was pulling out a match, the two staff members behind him had the intention to persuade him, but he didn't know what to say, in a dilemma, Xiao Jing suddenly remembered that this was an absolutely forbidden fireworks area, and quickly stuffed the match back into his pocket and stuffed the cigarette back into the box.
