Chapter 190: Standardization
Looking at the constantly flickering airport lights, Locke nodded in satisfaction. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
In time, planes taking off from this airport will guard Lordaeron's airspace against lawless flying creatures.
Cover the ground army and conduct a series of air raids.
Speaking of airplanes, Locke couldn't help but have a headache.
Originally, Locke thought he had taken a big advantage. After buying so many aircraft parts, as long as they are assembled by the goblins, they will appear on the airport as one after another.
In fact, however, Locke was shocked.
It is true that there are 160 aircraft spare parts in the warehouse, and it is true that they can be assembled into one aircraft after another, and they can be placed on the airport to fill the faΓ§ade, but their failure rate is simply outrageous.
As a result, the newly built airfield did not have a single aircraft for pilot training, because it was difficult for them to even reach the sky.
The aircraft factory is located in Iva near the mountains, where there is also an improvised runway. The assembled plane, which was supposed to take off here, was supposed to go to an airfield in the mountains.
At this time, the goblin mage Gates was pointing at the engineer who made the goblin plane, scolding there.
"Do you know why your plane can't take off? Is the failure rate so high? Any idea why pilots are reluctant to test? Gates scolded, "You idiots don't strictly supervise when you produce airplanes!" β
"Look at the size of this steel pipe!!" The goblin picked up the frame steel pipe from an airplane on the ground, and took the engineering caliper in his hand and measured it to the surrounding goblin flight engineers. "Look at its width and length! It's 0.3 inches more than the original 1 inch! β
"Look at this propeller again!" Gates threw away the steel pipe in his hand and gestured to the plane's propeller blades, "It should be 3.23 inches thick, now what?!" It's almost 5 inches! β
"Accessories are not produced strictly according to the dimensions of the aircraft. How can there be no problems with the aircraft produced in this way? I don't have to look at it now to know that this pile of rotten iron you have made must be the same! Gates pointed at the aircraft engineer and the goblin in charge of aircraft parts manufacturing.
Iron tongs were a little unconvinced, after all, they had made this way before. Although there are slight defects, it does not affect the final use. As for faults, how can engineering creations not have a little fault? This little problem is understandable, isn't that how they goblins continue to use it?
"That's how we make it in Hot Sands! Although the failure rate is a bit high! But they still fly in the sky for so long, and occasionally they fall, but that's all acceptable! The pincers blushed their necks against Gates' picking.
Behind the pincers, the goblins nodded their heads. This was too normal for them, and they didn't know why their compatriot on the other side, the goblin mage, would question it.
As for why Gates is so concerned, it is not stimulated by the Mage Tower. Separate room! That's a separate plane! Is it enough for him to use in any experiments, and he is not afraid of danger. What's more, all the experimental materials will be reimbursed by Lord Lord!
"I said no! It just doesn't work! Gates said impatiently, "All accessories must be of the same standard!" Unified metrics! Uniform material! β
"What! Aren't all the parts we had before going to waste? "You're wasting your lord's money!" It's also a waste of our money! β
"Now! I'm the head here! Gates looked at them with contempt, "You all have to listen to me!" This batch of spare parts in the warehouse, select the reassembled aircraft that meet the specifications, and how many aircraft can be assembled is a few. β
"Now, this is not our goblin world! This is the human world! Think it over! β
"Alright, stop arguing." Locke finally couldn't stand it anymore.
In fact, he was also quite depressed, he overestimated the professionalism of the goblins, and also overestimated the quality of the workers of the goblin consortium.
Most of the aircraft parts that have been shipped over are now out of specification. And according to the iron tongs, the planes of their group are like this. Although they have uniform specifications and measurements, these little things are not taken seriously and are always deviated.
Locke was really worried about the nervous pilots in their goblin world.
"Just do what Gates says." Locke finally decided, "I need to make sure that my soldiers are safe enough when flying the plane." After all, every pilot is our asset. β
"In order to be able to produce the aircraft in the future, their accessories meet the requirements. I think I'm going to come up with a reward and punishment. β
Locke instructed Shiloh on the side. "Write it down!"
Locke thought for a while and said, "In the future, all the accessories produced will have the producer's name engraved on them." If there is no problem with this accessory during the normal use time of the aircraft. In the end, the workers who make the accessories will be rewarded with 1-20 gold coins. β
"The quality supervision personnel, if it is found that the accessories produced do not meet the requirements, will be rewarded with 1 silver coin for each piece. Correspondingly, workers who are found to produce substandard accessories will be deducted 1 silver coin. If the quality inspector does not find out, then the salary of 5 silver coins will be deducted. β
"For every intact aircraft built, all workers in the aircraft parts manufacturing yard can be immediately rewarded with 10-30 silver coins. If, there is a slight flaw, then, the money is gone. β
"Iron Tongs, you, as the chief engineer, are in charge of everything above. If there is no problem with the aircraft, each of you can get a 10% commission on the total value of each aircraft, which I mean the cost price. When an aircraft is decommissioned, each of you can be rewarded with between 10 and 50 coins. β
"How?!" Locke asked, looking at the pincers.
"Satisfied! So satisfied! Your Lord! Iron Tong said with a red face, and the engineers behind him nodded in ecstasy, "I am sure that our goblin workers will be ecstatic!" β
"Oh! And also. Locke patted his head, "Teach your human apprentices not to hide their secrets." When your apprentice learns your skills, you will receive a 10% profit on each of the parts he produces. β
"So, come on. Let's see if I can make all my money! Locke encouraged them with a smile.
"Wow! Looks like I'm going to have to take my students seriously! The pincer screamed!
"Gates, your proposal is good." Locke looked at him and nodded, "Take out all the parts of the plane in the warehouse." Pick the parts that best meet your requirements and assemble them into a training machine. Let the test pilots fly to the airfield at the top of the mountain. Let those female pilots get acquainted with the real guys first, and don't come to harass me all day. β
"I'll give you this place, Gates. I believe you. Locke nodded to Gates, who pulled it out of his backpack and threw out a ruby larger than an egg.
"It's an affirmation of your hard work, and your staff needs a new gem."
"I will not disappoint your expectations, my lord!" Gates grabbed the gem and bowed his head respectfully. "Thank you for your protection of me, and I will repay you."
When Locke returned to the town hall, Bridget was busy reviewing the papers on the desk.
Locke pushed all the housekeeping work to her, which made her gnash her teeth and bury herself in the work.
Locke took an apple from the middle of the table and ate it, and walked over to her and handed her one.
"Is there anything in particular that needs to be noticed lately?"
Eating the crisp apple in his mouth, Locke asked Brigitte vaguely.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's a mess here! Bridget tore at her hair in displeasure.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time!" Locke patted her on the shoulder and gave her a haircut with a smile, "If you feel tired, put it down, and it will dry later." β
"I don't!" Bridget shook off his hand, "It's your job, but you're all on me!" I'm just your scrivener! Not your Interior Officer! Yes!! I'm going crazy! β
Bridget grabbed the apple on the table, clicking, clattering, and glaring at Locke with a fierce expression.
It was as if it was his flesh that was biting in his mouth.
"That's it! All right! Let off steam. Locke snickered and walked around Bridget's back, reaching out and hammering it on Bridget's shoulder.
Bridget's originally fierce expression gradually softened and enjoyed, but she still said fiercely.
"Don't think I'll let you go if you give me a thump on the shoulder! I'll tell you, it's a long way off! β
"Yes, yes, yes! You can do it! You're so smart and clever that I can't leave you. Locke said with a smile.
"That sounds pretty good." Brigitte leaned back in the lord's large chair and enjoyed Locke's massage.
"There have been a couple of things recently that need to be addressed quickly."
Bridget closed her eyes and said, "First of all, Shiloh said that we need to find a way to solve the problem of the income of the common people, and we can no longer pay them for food. This is not good for the economic development of the town of Iwa, and the citizens have no money, they cannot buy goods, and they will complain after a long time. β
"The second thing is that there have been a few more vicious cases. The victims were all single women who were brutally abused before they died. Captain Lulbes had already sent all the soldiers of the Guards Squadron out, but the results were still not improving. The killer is still at large. β
"The third thing, Shiloh believes, is that the occurrence of violent cases has something to do with the spiritual beliefs of the citizens. She suggested that a church should be built here as soon as possible so that the citizens could have a spiritual sustenance. β
"The fourth thing is that the next combat target has been decided. After discussion among the officers, it was agreed that the fishmen in Lake Lordamere should be the next target. With the fish-people expelled, we can be at peace for a while in the northern part of the Silver Pine Forest, and we can also have a period of steady development. β
