Chapter 329: Under the Sugar Factory

The old Lei Zhe of the Wheat Ear Farm is more familiar than Tom, so naturally he doesn't need to know him, so when he knows some people, he refers to the official figures.

The main one is Barry's senior at the Imperial Academy of Sciences, because Tom and Jerry often go to the Academy to solve some of the problems encountered by the researchers, and they are very familiar with the people there.

However, before going to the Imperial Academy of Sciences, I must first visit the Minister of Construction, Gotha.

Old Lei Zhe has already bought a large piece of land in his village, but it is still barren, and if such a large piece of land is built by civilian craftsmen, it is estimated that the sugar factory will not be able to work for a year or two.

With Flandy's name and there to support him, even if the Minister of Construction, Gotha, as an important minister of the empire, needs to be polite to Tom, the experimental assistant.

Tom came in a magic car, driving old Lei Zhe around the imperial capital for a whole day, and surrounded by the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Construction, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

Old Lei Zhe only now knew what kind of energy his big boss Flandy had.

Although Tom does not belong to the subordinates, he is just an ordinary magician, a master in the eyes of the commoners, but in the eyes of those great nobles, he is actually nothing.

But just the identity of Flandie's assistant is enough to make him unimpeded in various departments in the imperial capital, whether it is the Ministry of Construction or the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, they are all received by ministers, especially in the Imperial Academy of Sciences, which is no different from going back to his own home.

With such resources, such connections, what is the problem of starting a small sugar factory?

Old Lei Zhe was very glad that he didn't make a mistake a few days ago, and finally agreed to Old Willy. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll regret dying.

The Minister of Construction, Gotha, promised on the spot that he would send the three earliest and most experienced construction teams to help the elder Lei Zhe build the infrastructure of the sugar factory.

And the day after visiting him, three teams of nearly 100 people came to the land that Lao Lei Zhe had bought.

The Ministry of Construction is a very important department newly established this year, and up to now there are four brigades with a total of more than 40 teams carrying out road leveling work in the vicinity of the imperial capital.

After half a year of running-in, especially the first few squads, they have become very comfortable with using magic devices that can cast earth-based magic, and their efficiency has been greatly improved.

This was personally assigned by the boss of the department, and the leaders of the three teams did not dare to be lazy, let alone lazy, and it only took a day and a half to level all the huge construction sites.

It only took ten days to level the land, build the factory, build dormitories, canteens, office buildings and a series of other tasks, and the sugar factory has begun to take shape.

According to Flandy, the initial sugar factory did not need too many manpower, and the time for large-scale sugar production had not yet arrived.

It is true that the current sugar cane grows very quickly, but it is all spawned by the plant-based magic source, and the cost is impossible to calculate.

If the cost is really calculated according to a strict method, let alone a commoner, even if the children of the nobles want to eat a piece of sugar, it will hurt for a long time.

The root cause of this is that the value of plant-based magic essentia is too high, although the magic essentia is not as precious as it used to be, but after all, it is not yet the time to measure it in gold coins.

Especially for the rare attribute of the Essence of Magic, the price is even higher.

A large portion of this year's sugarcane has already been planted, and it will be this time next year for the sugar mill to really get on the right track.

With the current output of sugarcane, this more than 100 civilians working is enough, although it is not possible to sell sugar in large quantities, it is barely enough for people near the imperial capital to satisfy their hunger.

The construction of the factory is almost complete, and several large machines that have been built by the Imperial Academy of Sciences have been shipped to the factory.

Mainly juicers, dryers, filters, etc., and its Academy of Sciences has also sent five scientific researchers to the sugar factory.

Now sugarcane can still make brown sugar, although brown sugar is not bad, but Brandi still wants the snow-white white sugar in his previous life.

The process of making white sugar Flandi had never studied in his previous life, and no one would study how such an ordinary thing was made.

But it's not too difficult to imagine, white sugar has already appeared in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and by the time of the Ming Dynasty, the production method has been very mature, and with the current technological level of humans on the Oskaia continent, there is no reason why it can't be made.

It has only been fifteen days since Old Willy came to Old Lei Zhe to ask him to prepare for the establishment of a sugar factory, and with Tom's help, the sugar factory has been basically completed on the side of Xiaqu Village in the south of the imperial capital.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the three construction teams were built very quickly, and Old Lei Zhe actually didn't bother much time.

The steps in making brown sugar are not complicated, and the Academy of Sciences has made certain improvements and designs in imitation of the device that Franky once made, and the latest sugar making equipment has been installed in place.

The small jars of the wheat ear farm, which is more than ten meters high, have also been cut down for trial production, and because the sugar factory and the wheat ear farm are close to each other, it is very convenient to transport.

Such a stout sugar cane has never been seen in old Lei Zhe's life, although he has heard old Willie talk about it, but when he sees the real thing, he is still shocked.

One such large sugar cane is at least much more sweet water than a hundred ordinary sugar cane that his family has secretly cultivated for so many years.

Moreover, the sweetness of the optimized sugarcane has also been improved much compared to before, and the sweet water squeezed out is even a little greasy if it is not diluted.

Naturally, his two sons were also arranged to work in the sugar factory, and they were also stunned to see such a large sugar cane.

They really knew too much about their own sugar cane, but they never thought that after some optimization by the Flandy Magician, it would become like this.

When the big sugarcane arrived, the branches and leaves had been roughly removed, and in order to keep the juice inside, it was simply transported in a whole.

Fortunately, it was not too far, and in order to transport these dozen sugarcanes, the sugar factory sent more than 50 people, and it took half a day to transport them back with special extended board trucks.

When we arrive at the sugar factory, we wash it, peel it, and then put the sugarcane meat into the press piece by piece.

The press was powered by a high-powered magic engine, which was equivalent to magnifying the small press that Flandy had when he was in the magic tower by nearly ten times, and the power of the press was also greatly increased.

In the past, the sweet water that the old Lei Zhe's family of five could only press out with half a day's effort flowed out like a small river that opened the floodgates.

The sweet water flows down the sink with some bagasse into the filter, and in order to speed up the filtration, the filter has a large barrel that rotates to separate the bagasse from the sweet water.

The sweet water is sent to the dryer and the bagasse is not thrown away, which is a great material for making paper, and of course, Flandy knows that the bagasse can also be used to make alcohol and feed, but the steps to make it have not yet been worked out.

After the drying of the dryer, the sweet water becomes brown sugar, in fact, whether the dryer is not too important is not too important, natural drying can also be done, it is added by the scientific researchers themselves, although there is some waste of fire magic essence, but Flandi didn't care,

In any case, it is also a kind of machinery developed by the researchers themselves, although it does not show much effect in the process of making brown sugar, but this kind of thinking is what he wants to vigorously advocate.

The first trial run of the sugar factory was very successful, of course, there is no reason why such a simple process should not be successful, these magic machines handmade by the Imperial Academy of Sciences are still very reliable, as long as there are no problems with the machinery, there can be no problems in the production process.

More than a dozen large sugarcanes were made into several large boxes of brown sugar, and Old Lei Zhe felt that these brown sugars were sweeter than the ones that Old Willy gave him that day, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

That night, Frandy received a packet of wrapped brown sugar cubes from Tom that Tom had brought back, which Old Letzer had asked Tom to get back.

Although he hadn't seen Frandy again, he was so grateful that Flandy had helped him to run the sugar mill.

The three disciples of Pei Di, Cathy, and Mu Lier were very happy, they hadn't eaten candy for a long time, and they missed that sweet taste very much.

Of course, Flandy won't let them eat these brown sugar endlessly, they are now in the stage of changing their teeth, and the toothache caused by eating too much sugar is very uncomfortable.

(Insert a sentence, now I'm having a toothache, it's really uncomfortable, stiff in the codeword)

Each person was only given ten pieces of brown sugar, and as for whether to eat it all at once or save it little by little, Flandy didn't care.

During this time, Flandy was busy, and while the sugar factory was being built, a factory for making microphones, loudspeakers, phonographs, and electric lights was also being built.

The sugar mill is a small fight, and the new factory, which Brandy named the electronics factory, is much more important than the sugar mill.

The site was selected not far from the Academy of Sciences, and it was also within the scope of the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Construction sent ten construction teams to complete the important building in only three days.

The raw material of the sugar factory is nothing more than sugar cane, and the raw materials required for this electronics factory are very varied, and the machinery required is much more.

After the people of the Third Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences had completed the equipment needed for Dennis, Flandy took them on a trip to the Council Hall of the Vedon Empire.

Fortunately, this council hall is only the main building has been completed, and the decoration has not yet been arranged, and Flandi did not tell them that this is the Viton Empire, but easily concealed it.
