"That...... Mr. Roland," Master Xie asked after shaking hands, "I wonder what this design bureau is used for?"

"I've got everything I need to get done," laughs Roland, "for example, and now I want you to build a brand new tractor that is simple and reliable, easy to manufacture, and has some potential for retrofits." ”

"There should be a lot of such tractors on the market......"

"Of course, I want more than that, and the above is just the most basic framework. He shook his head, "First of all, we have to produce every component except the engine. ”

"That would be very costly. Master Xie was speechless.

"It doesn't need to be mass-produced, and the price can be compared to some handmade products. I have a couple of collector friends who are willing to pay a fortune to buy them. ”

"I see......"

"Also, you can't have automated machine tools involved in the production process, well......" Roland looked around, "these tools are very suitable for the factory now." I needed to know the specifications and manufacturing process of each part, which meant that the design bureau had to not only build it, but also draw all the assembly line layouts. ”

Seeing that the other party was embarrassed, he added, "Of course, I will recruit some fresh graduates to assist you in your work, you just need to arrange for them to do things." ”

"That's good...... If you only rely on pen and paper, I'm afraid it will take more than half a year to figure it out. ”

"Last but not least. Roland continued, "You have to have a certain amount of imagination to make it. ”

Master Xie was stunned, "What did you say?"

"I'll give you an example, for example, this tractor, which is steam-powered – so theoretically it needs a big boiler and compartments to store fuel and water. But in reality, it doesn't have these parts, and you can think of it as a nuclear-powered engine, just like in the movies. ”

"......" The other party's expression seemed to be a little sluggish.

"Therefore, when building a prototype, it is necessary to minimize the impact of these 'parts that are needed in theory, but do not exist in practice', so that the most suitable data can be obtained during the test run. I say that, do you understand?"

"Uh......" Master Xie pondered for a while before cautiously replying, "You mean, I should assume that I should design it as a product that doesn't belong to this era?"

That's a perfect score. Roland grinned, "I wonder if there is any technical difficulty?"

"Theoretically, not, but......" he hesitated, "to tell you the truth, even if it were to be made, I am afraid it would not have any practical value." ”

"It's right that there's no practical value, my collector friends don't care about those things. ”

Master Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked more, "That...... Mr. Roland, I don't know what the salary of the chief engineer is......"

"It's double your retirement salary," Roland laughed.

......

Back in the car, Gard put down his glass, shrugged at him and said, "How's it going, are you satisfied?"

"Yes, I just don't know how to calculate the cost of the factory......" Roland said politely.

"Needless to mention these details, it is also an honor for the Shamrock Group to be able to help the Martial Arts Association. Guardian waved his hand, "I'll communicate with that side later, and settle this matter." From today onwards, you are their new boss. ”

It is not a big deal to keep a factory that is scheduled to be demolished, and as for fixed assets such as land and plants, they are still owned by Shamrock Group. What the other party needs to spend is nothing more than the wages of some personnel and a few processing machines that are waiting to be scrapped. Being able to exchange this price for the favor of the Prism Town Guard is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal.

If Roland wants to get these things on his own, I'm afraid he will have to spend tens of millions, and he may not be able to do it.

But having said that, Roland didn't want to miss any chance to gather wool.

"Is this really good? I thought about it, if the factory wants to resume normal operations, it will have to at least recruit another group of people. And in order to increase their motivation, the system of rewards and punishments must also be listed, which requires a lot of money. ”

"Well...... "Jiade thought for a moment, "I'll transfer a treasurer to you later, if you have any additional expenses, you can just talk to her." But Mr. Roland, if the amount is too big, you know the ...... of the Shamrock Group."

"You're not alone. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. "Sending the treasurer on his own initiative is obviously also a means of hedging, at least to prevent him from burning money without restraint. Roland smiled and raised his glass, "Thank you so much for this." ”

"It's just a matter of effort. ”

The two cups collided crisply.

Three days later, the agricultural machinery factory was officially renamed the Gray Fort Design Bureau, and although it was still dilapidated on the outside, it was already busy inside under the temptation of promotion and salary increase.

......

After this was done, Roland suddenly felt a lot lighter on his shoulders, and even walked a little brisker when he went to the office the next day—he couldn't help but be overjoyed at the thought that he could continue to expand the project and scale of the Gray Castle Design Bureau, leaving precious design time behind.

And this way, Anna doesn't have to work until midnight every day, and can focus more on her favorite inventions, which is a lot of fun.

Perhaps those employees will never know that the drawings they have drawn will become a reality in another world, and they will wage a bloody battle against alien enemies in a corner of the vast continent to defend the last continuation and glory of humanity.

"What are you smirking at, Your ......Majesty," the nightingale looked out of him with disdain, "were you so happy last night?

"How could it be...... Am I like that?"

Nightingale pouted, "Actually, it's normal, I heard Phyllis say that the ancient witch didn't value these things, just like eating and sleeping." ”

“...... Did she really say that?"

"No, lie to you. Nightingale leaned over with half-squinted eyes, "Didn't you just pay attention to this?"

Feelings, this is still a trap for fishing law enforcement.

"All I can say is that you're thinking too much. Roland glared at her, "I'm so happy because I solved a big problem, not what you guessed." ”

"Well, 95% honesty, that's the truth. Nightingale said.

"Now it's accurate to the single digit of the percentage?"

"Well, maybe I've used it a lot, but I always feel a lot more sensitive than I used to. ”

"What's the deal with the 5%? Tell me upfront, I'm not lying. ”

"Maybe it's your subconscious throbbing. The nightingale said with the corners of her mouth raised.

Belch...... Roland was speechless for a while, he always felt that if he continued to talk like this, he would be brought into the trap by the other party sooner or later, so he simply stopped answering.

"By the way," said the nightingale, after chewing on the dried fish for a while, "you haven't seen the red moon much lately." ”

"Yes......" Roland realized that he hadn't looked up at the sky for a long time. The scarlet disc still hung high above the window, and whenever it looked up, it was in one position, as if it were still. "Probably because I know it's just a void. ”

Just then, the phone on the desk rang.

It was from the Administration Department.

"Barov, what's the matter?" Roland said, picking up the microphone.

"Your Majesty, the rate of increase in immigration has far exceeded expectations," complained the old chief, "and if this continues, the savings in the treasury will not last long!"
