Chapter 325: Fight to the End
325.
After listening to the scene described by Cheng Li, the real people of Perak couldn't help but have a trace of yearning.
However, he knows very well what is currently going on, so he should return to the main topic.
"Master Cheng, what do you think about the manufacture of this mortal spirit armor?"
"What else can you think? Aren't all the design drawings given to you? ”
"But...... According to your design drawings, there are at least tens of thousands of parts in this mortal spirit armor, and each of these parts must be modularized and able to work on the assembly line. Then this machine tool needs a variety of standards to make parts, and you can't let me do it myself. ”
Cheng Li thought about it and took out several books, which he had previously localized and modified some books on mechanical industrial manufacturing in the Wanjie Library according to his understanding of Xiuzhen, and was originally going to be given to Thunderbolt Zhenren.
"Well, these are for you, it will be regarded as an exchange for you giving me a jade slip, and the gift is still exchanged. ”
After taking the books, the thunderbolt real person flipped them over as if they had found a treasure, and let out an exclamation as they flipped through them.
"I see, in fact, the core of modular manufacturing is template making, and the production of templates should be what we refiners are best at.
"We refiners are the best at refining this kind of delicate but rare things, as long as the template is made, through machine tools and stamping and other equipment, you can quickly manufacture all kinds of parts, this link, can be mainly completed by machinery. The assembly process requires a lot of manual work.
"And according to the structure you designed, assembling these parts is very simple, even a mortal should be able to teach it for a day. At that time, a large number of mortals can be allowed to participate in the production of Dao mortal spirit armor. ”
Cheng Li nodded and said, "Originally, the biggest advantage of industrial manufacturing is that it can be completely completed by mortals, unlike refining weapons that can only be carried out by cultivators. The advantage of mortals lies in the large number, so in industrial manufacturing, mortals can make use of their numerical advantage to make the productivity of industrial manufacturing burst out with energy far beyond that of the previous cultivators.
"Now on Qingling Island, it takes 37 people to refine a standard spirit armor for 10 days at the same time, and it has to be limited by the limited number of refiners on the island, so only two production lines can be opened at the same time. That productivity is incomparably low.
"Of the 150,000 mortals on the island, there are 50,000 calculator factories, and 100,000 mortals can be used for the manufacture of spirit armor. How many mortals do you think it takes to make a mortal spirit armor production line?"
Perak carefully studied the drawings, carefully evaluated them, and finally gave a string of numbers.
"A production line of mortal spirit armor, I estimate that it will take about 100 mortals. And with such a production line, it would take two days to make a mortal spirit armor!"
"We need to make 75,000 mortal spirit armors in half a year, and we need to make at least 400 mortal spirit armors every day on average. That is to say, we need to build 800 mortal spirit armor production lines, it is estimated that 80,000 mortals will be needed, and there are still 100,000 mortals left on the island, which is enough, and we can also spare 20,000 people to maintain the normal living standard on the island and not be disordered. Cheng Li thought carefully.
"I took a look, the Spirit Armor Factory is also about to start construction, a Spirit Armor Factory can accommodate 10 mortal Spirit Armor production lines, then we need to build 80 Spirit Armor Factories......"
Speaking of this, the thunderbolt real person said with a sad face: "But there is a problem here......
"What's the problem?"
"The resources on our island may not be enough to support such a huge consumption......"
"In the past, we only relied on cultivators to produce, and our productivity was low, so the metal mineral resources on the island were abundant.
"But now you are engaged in this industrial manufacturing, the consumption of resources is too exaggerated, I calculated a little before, with the current metal mineral reserves on the island, according to the 100 calculator factories and 80 spirit armor factories in full operation, at most it can only support half a year's consumption, after half a year, there will be a dilemma that there is no iron available on the island. ”
Regarding this question that Perak Zhenren said, Cheng Li had also thought about it before.
Compared with the earth, the cultivator has the huge advantage of a fast start, and compared to the earth, it needs to slowly improve from the steam age to the next step.
Due to the black box technology of spells, cultivators have many problems with the level of material craftsmanship, which is not a problem here for cultivators.
What? The metal materials are not up to par? The air tightness is not enough? The metal refining process of the cultivator is fake, and the refined iron refined by every refiner is comparable to the highest grade alloy metal in the modern era of the earth.
As a result, the set of industrialization standards formulated by Cheng Li for Qingling Island has a very high starting point, almost skipping the level of the steam age and entering the level of the electric age all of a sudden.
However, the starting advantage possessed by the cultivators, coupled with the speed of the cultivators' opening and hanging construction during construction, made the construction factories spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and even the infrastructure maniacs on the earth had to bow down when they saw this.
Therefore, this allowed Qingling Island to suddenly burst out with huge productivity under the condition of Cheng Li's golden finger plug-in.
But the huge problem that comes with this is that the consumption of resources is too serious.
Cheng Li is very clear about this.
The industrialization of the earth, with the increase of productivity, the consumption of resources is also multiplied, which is also one of the biggest problems brought about by industrialization.
For this point, Cheng Li does not have a good solution.
"This can only be taken one step at a time, and it is the highest priority to survive the big war in half a year at this stage. If you can't survive it after half a year, no matter how many resources you leave, it will only cheapen the enemy. For example, we will now scavenge all resources, turn all resources into weapons, and arm each of us with teeth, so that we can have a chance to win in a battle against the odds.
"After we win the battle in half a year, we can naturally gain valuable resources by sailing and exploring in nine days to plunder other isolated islands.
"And this is the only way to survive in the super dark forest of Nine Days. ”
"Just because everybody thinks that way, because every silo can only do that. Therefore, in the Nine Heavens World, if you want to survive, you can only plunder others.
"With limited resources, if you don't plunder others, you will only be plundered by others. Under the effect of this chain of suspicion, it is impossible for anyone to be immune, and the two extermination wars that Qingling Island has experienced in the past thousand years have fully demonstrated this point.
"So, we can only take up arms and fight to the end!"
