In order to speed up the progress of the research project, Roland adjusted his schedule slightly, and slept in the office for two or three hours every day after lunch, which was equivalent to increasing the number of times he entered the dream world in disguise.

For this reason, the appearance of the Divine Punishment Samurai in groups after noon has also become a great spectacle in the castle area.

Thanks to the help of the Gray Fort Design Bureau, the new batch of industrial projects went quite smoothly, and by the last week of autumn, the tractor was almost finalized.

Prior to this, all the project processes of Wudong were first hand-manufactured, verified and finalized by Anna, and then divided into production parts, delivered to the plant for trial production, and finally determined the flow plan until assembly. Not to mention the long time, it is easy to take detours.

Especially when it comes to the division of production components – because Blackfire has a much better machining capacity than any machine tool, the parts that Anna can cut may not necessarily be able to be made by the factory. There are hundreds or thousands of parts in a machine, and determining which ones can be done by the factory and which must be left to Anna for post-processing is undoubtedly a huge amount of work. Only after a finished product has been fully assembled can the project move on to mass production.

In fact, the production of the second generation of steam engines in the past has suffered in this link, although a pressure valve component seems simple, but when the official mass production is found that the pass rate is surprisingly low, the result is that the relevant production line is overturned, and the final product is delayed for more than half a month.

The Gray Castle Design Bureau is equivalent to completing all the preliminary work for Anna, from testing and finalization to assembly line design, and whether ordinary machine tools can meet the requirements, these processes can be completed directly in the dream world. Therefore, once the plan is finalized, the Ministry of Industry can immediately organize production, which also greatly shortens the research and development cycle and cost of new projects.

Roland named the highly-anticipated agricultural machine the Harvest.

It will inherit the name of the five pairs of load-bearing wheels and work on the land of the Grey Castle.

Of course, he didn't let Master Xie be idle, the current harvest number is just a simple chassis, and it is not a big problem to hang a plow as a tractor, but there is still a long way to go before the ultimate form of five pairs of load wheels.

He hoped to achieve everything the army needed on this chassis.

As for the transmitter, Qingqing quickly recruited a few applicants, including both fresh graduates and folk radio enthusiasts, but Roland's head swelled as soon as he saw those circuit diagrams, and finally ordered them all to be changed to the form of physical diagrams, so he could barely tell what was what. Even so, he was unusually slow to learn this knowledge, and could only forcibly memorize the mockups and then slowly ponder them with Anna.

In addition to these two major projects, several other key preparation projects in Neverwinter have successively shown results.

The first is the North-South Artery Plan.

Hofford Quinn sent him a letter saying that Dawn had invested nearly 1,000 people to set up cement calcination plants in two border cities. These plants produce hundreds of tonnes of cement every day to meet the needs of hardened pavement. Now the road from Windward Leader to Flashing River has been basically paved, and the second half of the road in Langshan has also started, and it is expected to be completed in about half a month.

Even with the help of Lian and Moriel, such a construction speed is enough to be called an excellent performance, and it is clear that the Quinn family has put a lot of effort into this matter. Coupled with the first completed road from the eastern infledge of the Chishui River to Eternal Night City, this means that Neverwinter is only one step away from being able to project his forces from land to a war zone thousands of kilometers away.

The second is the supporting project of the main artery plan - the "Hump" steam truck, the first of which is also off the assembly line at the factory.

It has a classic flat-top cab, front-mounted engine, front single and rear double six-wheel layout, and apart from a slightly longer head (in order to fit a huge water tank), the shape is almost indistinguishable from that of later trucks. With a dead weight of about 10 tons and a design load of 6 tons, it can maintain a stable speed of 40 kilometers per hour on a flat cement road and drive continuously for 300 kilometers.

If necessary, the driver can also fill it with rainwater, well water, or even urine to increase the mileage – of course, even without supplies, it is enough to travel between the city and the river.

Unlike armored trains, each truck requires at least two drivers, in other words, even if Wudong can build a large number of trucks at once, there is a huge shortage of drivers. Fortunately, now that the prototype car is available, the next step is to establish a driving school and quickly train a group of qualified personnel - after all, there are no traffic laws in this era, as long as the car can be driven, everything else is easy to say.

Finally, there are lead-acid batteries.

Although it is inconspicuous and much less technical than the previous major projects, it is not small in use.

On trucks, for example, it provides power to the vehicle's headlights and taillights – the only electrical equipment on the Hump. With lights, the truck's travel time extends from daytime to day and night, nearly doubling efficiency.

It is also used in the start of the biplane, which can save a lot of effort from the ground crew, and more importantly, if the engine is turned off in the air, the pilot can directly try to start again, which improves the safety in disguise.

In short, relying on the arrival of a large number of migrants, the industrial capacity of Neverwinter has once again broken through the bottleneck and entered a period of rapid growth.

However, Roland also knows that this increase is not all due to the population - if it is still a handicraft production, let alone a few months, even a few years may not be able to train a layman who knows nothing to become a qualified worker. And here, those experienced old workers are only afraid that you will not learn, and they are not afraid that you will not learn, because promotions and salary increases have a lot to do with their apprentices, who are always hungry and thirsty, and teach everything.

Ordinary people only need a week or two of hand-to-hand teaching, can understand the basic operation of the machine tool, even if the new entrants do not know a word, according to the steps to imitate can also process qualified parts.

With new systems for the application of productive forces, the spread of universal education, and the emphasis on creativity and research and development, the industrialization of cities will only grow faster in the future.

But it wasn't all good news.

According to the Iron Axe report, the pressure on the front line of the First Army is increasing, and with the spread of red mist, the devil has been able to reach the Cage Mountain area, and some people even claim to have seen the figure of a dinosaur in the territory of Dawn.

When he was in the Fertile Plains, Roland had already known the enemy's tactics of running thousands of miles, although there were not many troops that could be mobilized, but even a few mad demons could cause considerable damage to the rear.

And now those scattered dinosaurs are likely to be sentinels who are exploring the route for the raid.

If the First Army wants to counter this, it must have the same mobility as it.

He sighed lightly, maybe it was time to send the Witch League and the Legion of the Sky Knights to the front.
