"All in all, because this machine is broken, you can't refine the Tayon Ore." Yu Lian inspected the machine and nodded: "Indeed, this should be the assembly line designed by Alliance Furnace Castle Heavy Industries, and its main core ...... It must be the Hirsch Furnace. ”

The so-called Hirsch refers to the name of the sun god, the main god in classical mythology of the Alliance in the era of the home planet, and later referred to the meaning of "sun" in the language of the Alliance.

Therefore, this kind of furnace can also be called the solar furnace.

Babaru nodded: "Actually, there is also a problem with the mother machine of the automatic mining drone. And we didn't have much maintenance, so the miners couldn't move, but it was a minor problem. It's a big deal, we workers carry power hammers and energy picks down the shaft to dig. If the Solar Furnace breaks, there's really nothing you can do. ”

As the two spoke, they walked out of the factory and soon came outside. In front of him, there is a large machine more than ten meters high, which looks like a tower made of steel bars, pipes and rounded metal cans, which is quite beautiful in large industry.

Judging from the structure, this thing is like a large blast furnace, but it is also the most sci-fi blast furnace that Yu Lian has ever seen.

He also knew that what was now exposed to him was only the above-ground part of it. The real main body is underground, forming a huge automated ore roughing system.

This is the solar furnace of the Red Maple Factory, a super machine with a volume of more than 10,000 cubic meters, which is the most magnificent giant in the minds of the workers of the Red Maple Factory.

"How beautiful! Isn't it? Babaru looked at the sleeping sun furnace and let out a pilgrimage sigh.

"Much more magnificent than the god of the sky of Narausch!" He added.

The first sentence is pure emotion and praise, and the second sentence is marked with obvious resentment and sarcasm.

Yu Lian looked at Babalu behind him with interest, and felt a great sense of confidant to this young Lumina worker who did not leave too prominent a life in later generations.

"You don't really look like a typical luminal." Yu Lian said with a smile.

Babaru was slightly stunned, and then said with helplessness: "That's because the typical Lumina people you have seen are not very typical ones." ”

He then explained to Yu Lian that the Lumina were actually a very local people. It is precisely because of this that when the expansion plan of the management of the Red Maple Factory is bound to destroy the vast maple forest, it is of course difficult for everyone to accept.

The Lumina are indeed a race full of martial virtues. Before the discovery of this planet, there were tribes that lived in the mountains and forests or near lakes and hunted for a living, and hunted a lumina moa or a lake crocodile as a rite of passage.

Of course, it's a team effort. The lumina moa and the carapace are both fierce predators with an average of more than a ton, and ordinary people only hold cold weapons, how can they really defeat each other.

Later, it was rumored that all the Luminas had to kill a moa with their bare hands in order to be considered an adult, or they would be thrown into the mountains to be used as bird feed.

"What nonsense these are rumors! If this were the case, the Lumina would have gone extinct thousands of years earlier! Most of the Luminians, I don't think they're much different from the Earthlings anyway! Eat, sleep, work, marry a wife and have a baby! Of course, we do like our hometown, so it's not like you humans like to run to it! ”

The Lumina Worker Leader pointed to the sky, and Yu Lian knew that the other party was referring to the universe.

Now that I think about it, the Lumina born crew is indeed quite small. In this cosmic era, there are actually quite a few intelligent races who are so attached to their homeland, and they may show their excellent talents in all walks of life, but they are also destined to become the protagonists on the big stage of the universe.

"As for the so-called god of the sky...... Hey, even a thousand years ago, before the human race came, there were only some tribes worshipping with gods, and somehow they became the main gods of all our Luminians. Of course, the brain of doing things outside is not clear, so I need to say something, right? Yes, the Luminians you've seen outside anyway are all ...... There's something wrong with the guys here! Babaru pointed to his head again.

He added: "What does they have to do with us ordinary people living in Lumina who are engaged in terrorist activities!" Yes, the tribes of the Great Plains in the East and the Lakes and Bays in the South, though they will not listen to you great human figures, but most of them are just herdsmen, farmers, and fishermen who live their lives seriously! ”

Yu Lian felt that this was still very reasonable. When he arrived at the Red Maple Factory, he had already dealt with quite a few Luminals. Overall, these fierce-looking four-armed mantis people, perhaps because they are naturally brave and strong, have a bit of a quick temper, but they are really not the natural anti-system elements who propose to cut people with four knives without saying a word.

They value their families, their homeland, and nature. In the same way, it is also good to make friends.

Because of this, the lumina workers here really regard the Red Maple Factory and Maple City as their homes that they must protect.

“…… As a result, even the most valuable Tayon mine here is no longer available. You don't want to leave! ”

"Everything here was built by us little by little. It's just that many people still left. If the solar furnace doesn't move again, I can't say what the future holds. Babaru said helplessly.

When the solar furnace stopped running, the engineers in the factory did try to repair it. However, on the one hand, this thing is really expensive, and the technicians really dare not make a big move; On the one hand, this kind of solar furnace is quite a science fiction device after all, and the internal structure is so complex that ordinary engineers can't read it, let alone repair it.

There is no way, since you can't fix it yourself, of course, you can only find a manufacturer.

After all, the capitalists of the alliance who wanted money were not Hans, who was full of craftsmanship, and could not have buried spare parts wrapped in oiled paper and brand-new in the vicinity decades ago.

Furnace Heavy Industry said that the warranty period has passed for several years, and many of the key components have reached the end of their service life. In addition, they are not responsible for the damage to the device caused by the user's own "carelessness". In addition, if a preliminary investigation is to be carried out, the engineer's travel expenses and room and board expenses need to be reimbursed.

They gave the Red Maple Factory a list of engineers, and the scale was not like they were coming to repair the furnace, but more like they were coming to dismantle the house.

Of course, there is also a bill that the ancestors of the Red Maple Factory at that time still feel shocked when they think about it.

Again, this is just a preliminary bill. Just a preliminary check, is it going to cost so much? Also, do these people have such a high standard of room and board? Each meal requires eight dim sum, eight cold dishes and eight hot dishes, and a special transport ship is set up to bring them ingredients and pure water from the alliance.

When Duke Tang Huaiser was still there, he wasn't so poor and extravagant, right?

However, Lubao Heavy Industry said that the preliminary inspection is of course not valuable, but knowing where to start is quite valuable!

In addition, more than 90% of the area of Planet Lumina belongs to the unopened "wild area" defined by the Galactic Civilization Council, and who knows what unknown parasites and viruses will be. In order to protect the basic right to survival of the citizens of the Union, it is also very reasonable to carry clean water, right?

In short, just to come to the engineer, what should be the standard of living treatment, back and forth for five or six years.

On the one hand, it is because the profiteers of the alliance are really difficult to deal with, and on the other hand, it is because the red maple factory has pulled its own crotch.

There is no way, from the day the red maple factory was established, the property rights were not too detailed. The central government of Earth owns a part, the government of the Far Shore Star District owns a part, the military owns a part, and the rest belongs to the Lumina tribe who participated in the construction and uprising at that time. But in the end, who has the final say and who is the largest shareholder has never had a clear statement, let alone implemented in legal documents.

When you make money, it's okay to say, but when you have to pay money and still lose money, the problem is very serious.

The workers felt that this was not a solution, but they scraped together a sum of money and always invited the alliance engineer team over.

The technicians from the alliance worked hard in factory A for a month, and after eating stewed crocodile meat and moa egg custard, they wiped their mouths and told everyone in the factory: "It's hopeless, it's not repaired, let's replace it with a new one." ”

"The most important Olympiad core has been destroyed, and it is impossible to power the solar furnace. Do you understand? Well, let's put it this way, an ordinary blast furnace powered by electrical energy will produce a high temperature of more than 1000 degrees, and the initial smelting of ordinary iron ore can be completed. However, in the case of Tyonite, it requires more than 6,000 degrees Celsius, which is equivalent to the high temperature on the surface of a young star, and must also neutralize its own magnetic reaction. Therefore, inside the solar furnace, it is not only the high temperature that is needed, but also the controllable magnetic field...... This requires the control of the core of the Olympiad. However, this control core is one of the core engineering secrets of the Alliance, and direct maintenance is not possible, and new ones must be ordered. In addition, due to your non-compliant operation, the RP72 pipeline is very old and needs to be replaced. In addition...... (The 1,000-word or more tirade is omitted below)"

"So, do you understand what I'm saying? It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just do what we say anyway! A new solar furnace, a new production line, a new roar, and then a truckload of Tycl's superconducting alloys! Do you understand? It's all money! ”

Babaru said that if he had been there, he would have shot the guy's dog's head.

However, the new management of the Red Maple Plant, the general manager who represents the interests of the new shareholders, directly expressed his opposition.

"The Red Maple Factory is not rich enough to this extent! We have just taken office, and we are facing such losses, and I really can't explain it to investors! ”

So said the well-dressed general manager, whose name was not important.

Yes, after a long period of tugging, the community government and the government of the Far Shore Star District really can't tolerate the loss of this factory. What's more, the era of the War of Independence is over, and it's time for everyone to get their place. The government is the government, and things like business management should be left to professionals.

As a result, the part of the shares belonging to the government was bought down by a private enterprise of the community at a large cost, and it also obtained the right to operate and manage.

In addition, it is not known whose path the private owner has taken, and the government has also exerted some pressure on the military, and the military representative stationed in the red maple factory has also withdrawn.

As for the military industry, which originally belonged to the Red Maple Factory, it had been relocated one after another a few years ago.

Without the government and the military, representatives of private investors probably felt that the company, and indeed the planet, could do whatever they wanted in the face of a group of coarse workers and uneducated Lumina elders.

So, the general manager with a personable greasy head and noodles made another suggestion.

"Since it can't be refined, let's sell the ore directly!" He said.

"I've asked geologists to inspect it, and the quality of our ore here is very good! And I'm also in contact with the Deep Space Mining Group, which will work with us to build our own fleet of professional mineral carriers! ”

From the perspective of a profit-seeking operator, this guy's idea cannot be said to be wrong. After all, in Yu Lian's hometown in his previous life, there are abundant resources that can get carried away. A country that does not grow maple trees should grow big (meow) hemp, and a country whose ancestors are exiled criminals, is as small as selling resources.

“…… Hey, I used to think that the military deputies were all stupid! Now that I think about it, it's good to have military representatives here, at least I won't let these profiteers do whatever they want! ”

"He didn't dare to do whatever he wanted! Didn't you soon rebel again? Yu Lian smiled.

Babaru also smiled, he has always regarded this as the glorious history of the factory.

He said as a matter of course: "Because my master's master said that we are glorious smelter workers!" If we live only by buying the inheritance left to us by the spirit of the universe, sooner or later we will degenerate into addicts and strong (meow) traitors! ”

Master Babaru's master is actually the chairman of the first workers' self-government committee of the Red Maple Factory, an old human worker named Tom Wise, and one of the leaders of the rebel army composed of the workers of the Red Maple Factory.

This is also a name buried in the long river of history, but it is also an ordinary hero.

It's a pity that the old man passed away five years ago, otherwise Yu Lian would really want to pay a visit.

All in all, under the leadership of the workers' leader at the time, Mr. Wise, the Red Maple Factory began to strike.

In fact, the workers at that time were actually isolated. The management is the representative of the management and their enemy; And the rebels formed by the Rumina cultists, who worship the "god of the sky", are also trying to attack the city and the factory.

"Humanity has deceived us! Their machines, their tall buildings, their cities, their railways, are all symbols of evil! Destroy them and return to our real lives! "That's what the Lumina rebels said.

"It's just being pulled in the head by a moa!" The old workers said. So he began to prepare for the factory's own self-police team.

On the other hand, the representatives of the management finally couldn't hold on. Who can survive the fact that companies have not been able to generate profits for a long time, all business plans have been disrupted by workers, and there are occasional small-scale attacks around urban areas?

So they left Lumina in disgrace. It's been almost a decade now.

Since then, the Red Maple Factory and Maple City have been forgotten until today.

Babaru was a little stunned. Under their feet is the abundant Tai Weng ore, but now it cannot be turned into actual benefits, which is equivalent to guarding the gold and silver mountains to ask for food.

"We won't ask for food, how can the children of the Red Maple Factory be so unproductive!" The Lumina worker leader said loudly: "My master took everyone to open up the wasteland and farm, and my brother went into the mountains to hunt, what about me...... Or organize everyone, the mining of the mining, the production of the production! Although there is no way to refine the Tai Weng mine, it is still okay to have iron, copper, or something! The equipment left by Duke Tang Wyser is still there, and we have built a few blast furnaces ourselves, and we can still produce iron. Factories 4 and 5 can produce tools and simple machines, which can be traded with other tribes, and the basic life of the whole city can be maintained. ”

This is the same as Yu Lian knows. Beginning with Mr. Wise, several workers' leaders did their best to keep the city in order.

This is completely production self-help! Yu Lian was really in awe of this workers' leader.

However, he also knew that it was impossible to sustain this industrial city for long with the mode of production and trading in the agricultural era.

So, the key to everything is to get the solar furnace moving. Let those buried in the underground Taion mine become superconducting materials that make the whole universe feel refreshed!

"So, do you know how to fix a solar furnace?" Babaru said with a look of anticipation.

"I'm sorry! I do not know. Yu Lian shrugged his shoulders and looked calm.
