A new blackboard was brought to the castle's cafeteria, and Bing Lin took chalk, wrote a lot of words and patterns on the blackboard, and then turned his head to look at everyone.

"At present, the core problem of Tara Khan is the scarcity of labor, and the population problem cannot be solved for the time being, so we can only change our thinking and use other methods to make up for the shortage of labor. ”

He got straight to the point: "After research, I think it's time to push forward with industry. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone talked about it, and shaking their heads abounded.

In everyone's impression, the premise of engaging in industry is that agriculture is already relatively developed, and a certain amount of labor can be freed up. Now the agriculture of the Tara Khan can only be said to be barely on the right track, without three or five years of stability, I am afraid that it is not even at the level of moderate prosperity, and it is even more than 108,000 miles away from the developed level.

"I know that everyone's concern is nothing more than 'labor shortage'. Bing Lin smiled and said confidently, "But in reality, industrial production does not necessarily require a large amount of labor. ”

"What? are you going to build an automated factory?" asked Sleepless in surprise, "can we reach this level of technical reserves?"

"Full automation, of course, is not possible. "But it is completely feasible to focus on automation and only need some people to monitor the production process." ”

This sentence was like a stone thrown into a pool, and many splashes were made at once. Everyone asked what was going on, and they were all curious about this kind of "quasi-automated factory".

Bing Lin is not in a hurry, and answers them one by one.

"Experiments? Experiments have already been done, a small production line. The effect is not bad. ”

"The cost? The cost is a bit high. In these years, it is impossible to have the best of both worlds. ”

"What can be produced? At least for now, only some simple implements can be produced, which I plan to use to make agricultural tools such as hoes, plowshares, and shovels. Anyway, farm tools don't need to be very strong, and if they are broken, they can be broken, as long as the pieces are returned, they can be remanufactured in the furnace. ”

"Support, of course, we need everyone's support. A small production line in a laboratory and a factory that can actually be put into production are completely different things. To build the plant, a large number of workers with at least secondary school level were required. I don't have a place to find such talents other than everyone. ”

......

After some noise and noise, the cafeteria was quiet again, and Bing Lin began to give a detailed introduction to his production line.

After the Edward family's incident, Soldier Advent not only gained a lot of experience points, but more importantly, broadened his horizons and inspired him. Like the legendary "Epiphany", he quickly fused his magical knowledge and technological knowledge to develop a magical machine.

This kind of machine is powered by magic, with machinery as the main body, and the parts that require precision machining and special lubrication are also replaced by magic effects, although it requires a very high level of magician to maintain its normal operation, but there is no shortage of such talents among the traversers.

Everyone's skill level may not be high enough, but when you can use magic through the skill system, it is really extremely accurate, and there will be no error at all.

Panda and others are not satisfied with relying on the system to use skills, and have been working hard to self-study and use their own strength to master the use of skills. Of course, this is the right thing to do, and so does Binglin.

But at the same time, it is not advisable to deny the skills of the system.

That kind of extraordinary precision is very useful!

The Soldier Advent team took advantage of this precision to create a tool that could convert the spells produced by the system into magical energy. As long as you calculate the magic attack power and match it with the corresponding level of magic skills, you can get magic energy accurate to at least two decimal places or more.

Not much at all, no less at all.

With this premise, all kinds of "quantitative" machines can be operated stably and can be combined into a reliable production line.

In other words, this wonderful production line system must and can only be powered by the traversers, and nothing else.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, at least it prevents plagiarism.

Four or five days later, several new production lines were built, based on the original production line manufactured by the research team. They can produce shovels, pickaxes, ploughs, pots and knives, respectively, and happen to be the most commonly used metal instruments in the daily life of farmers.

But when the production line was completed, everyone found another serious problem.

The raw materials are gone.

To make metal equipment, of course, metal is needed as a raw material, but the traversers do not have a lot of metal in stock.

It's embarrassing to say, but in their warehouses there is a lot of gold, a lot of silver, a lot of copper, but not a lot of steel—no, there are a lot of fine steel, but not many ordinary iron ingots used to make farm tools and kitchen utensils.

The amount of iron ingots needed to prepare new tools for the people of the Tara Khan was staggering. At present, there are about 20,000 families in the direct jurisdiction of the Earl of Talahan, and if each family is given a set of iron tools, it is 20,000 sets. No matter how much you save a set of iron tools, you need at least about two kilograms of iron, which adds up to forty tons.

Forty tons of iron ingots...... In this world is really a staggering large number.

Thanks to the vast and sparsely populated territory of Tara Khan, all that needs to be prepared is the iron tools needed by the families in the Earl's Territory, and if the densely populated counties in the south are three or four times the population of the Tara Khan's Territory, even if the Territorial Region is only a quarter to one-third of the entire territory, it is far more than a hundred tons.

100 tons of iron ingots, if placed on the earth, is about the output of a famous prefecture-level city in China in about a minute...... Maybe a little less. But in this world where mining and smelting technology is backward, that's ...... Gee.

The traversers don't need to prepare as many as a hundred tons of iron ingots, they only need to prepare forty tons.

The problem is, forty tons is not easy!

After some discussion, they finally came up with a plan.

A simple solution.

Led by Panda, more than a dozen combat-ready traversers were selected. Their mission was to travel to the Thracian Empire to find some warehouses to store things like iron ingots, and then transport the contents to become the resources needed to build the Tara Khanate.

Well, that's pretty much it, just grasp the details yourself.

Looking at this plan, the panda couldn't cry or laugh.

I just came back from a "business trip", and I was going out to run errands again.

"Looks like I'm a toiler!"
