Xia Fan walked into the newly built gate of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, and Mo Yun, who had been notified by the guards, was already standing outside the factory waiting for him.

"Didn't bother you with the lecture, did you?"

"Today's schedule is a manual exercise. Mo Yun replied briefly, "Why are you here?"

"Help you solve the manpower problem. Xia Fan smiled and spread his hands, "But the premise is that Jinxia City can provide enough housing." I don't know the last time I proposed the assembly house plan, how did you prepare here?"

"Follow me. ”

Mo Yun led him into a shack covering an area of about ten acres, and there was an endless stream of voices inside.

Xia Fan's eyes lit up.

He had talked to Mo Yun about the concept of assembly line operation and module manufacturing before, but he didn't expect that Mo Yun not only fully understood his ideas, but also used them in actual production.

I saw that in the huge factory, a large amount of wood was cut into long strips or boards of different sizes, and placed on the side in different categories. Once fixed, the auxiliary workers only need to push the pre-cut wood into it, and then put down the saw wheel, and repeat several times, and the wood can be efficiently processed.

This production line does not rely on the experience of the operator at all, nor does it require the skill of a carpenter, but only needs to unload and reclaim the material according to the regulations, and continuously produce columns, beams and wall panels with the required shape.

"How's it going?" only then did Mo Yun smile smugly.

"It was even better than I expected. Xia Fan did not hesitate to praise - he did not exaggerate his feelings, as a test of the practice of assembly line work, this factory used to produce housing components has fully demonstrated its simple and efficient characteristics.

The first steel shipment was polished into these sharp saw blades, and it was the Tianmo instrument that drove them to run. In between, there is a set of gears that follow the involute design, which is responsible for speed regulation, direction change, etc. It can be said that the techniques and principles discussed by him and Mo Yun have all been used in this assembly line.

The shack is obviously much more crude than the main hall of the Ministry of Industry in Gyeonggi, but it is not an exaggeration to say that the contents of the house are regarded as the pinnacle of Keikook's technological prowess.

With this advanced production line, the housing construction in Jinxia City will undoubtedly be greatly accelerated. In the past, it was normal for a carpenter to saw, plan, chisel, and sharpen, and process a wooden beam for a day or two, so few carpenters came out alone to take over the work, usually with a bunch of disciples. But even so, the speed of hand grinding is dwarfed by that of the Celestial Motion Meter and the Hacksaw. Xia Fan estimated that the average time from the pretreated wood to the cutting position to the preparation and molding is only three minutes, and the efficiency can be said to be qualitatively improved.

The only thing that is debatable is that the elves in Moyun's mouth who have been arranged to do manual exercises - in his opinion, what these "apprentices" are doing now is to drive the Celestial Motion Instrument to provide a steady stream of power for the operation of the production line.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the talisman magic weapon was really a good thing.

Otherwise, he'd have to be like an elf, a generator or some other humanoid energy source.

"Oh?" Mo Yun's tone added a rare hint of joy, "Which part do you like the most?"

"Gear turning mechanism. Xia Fan glanced around and said, "Use the clutch to replace the wheels, and the speed adjustment is also to pull down the corresponding handle, this design can be said to be quite professional." ”

She lifted the ends of the hair hanging down from her forehead and let out a sigh of relief, "Wanjun is really right. ”

"What did she say?" Xia Fan said curiously.

"If you want to know, you can ask her personally. Mo Yun smiled but did not answer.

Indeed, the only person who can understand her talents, see at a glance the key parts of her careful conception, and experience the same joy and sense of accomplishment as her.

"Lord Xia, it's been a long time—see you at the end. Suddenly, a graceful woman approached the two of them.

Seeing the other party for the first time, Xia Fan couldn't help but be stunned.

The person who came was actually the elder of the tree boat and one of the high priests of the World Island, Lady Senya.

Instead of a low-cut dress, she was dressed in a jacket-like leather overalls, with matching sapphire earrings and gold silk necklaces missing. Compared with the mature and elegant appearance when she first appeared, the current Senia is undoubtedly much simpler, but she is also more peaceful and approachable in feeling.

Of course, what hasn't changed is her proud figure - even in a cargo uniform, the effect is completely different from other elves.

"Ms. Senia...... Why are you here?" Xia Fan realized after greeting him that the other party was not relayed through Mo Yun, but was directly talking to him in Qiguo's language.

"At the beginning, I didn't say that I couldn't come to participate and study. The other man smiled slyly.

Despite the jerky accent and diction, everyday communication seems to be largely fine.

Is it so easy to learn a foreign language?

Xia Fan looked at Mo Yun, who nodded and confirmed, "Your Excellency the High Priest is indeed the first person to participate in the study. ”

"Well, since I don't know, it can't be considered inhospitable. He also replied in a half-joking tone, "How are you feeling in Jinxia City these days?"

"It was an eye-opener. Senia walked slowly to his side, "It turns out that there are no dryads, and people can come up with so many ways to meet their needs and make up for their own shortcomings. Our clan has been on the island for so long that we really need to come out and see it. ”

"But what surprised me the most was the technology that the Machinebuilding Bureau showcased. On the World Island, every bow and arrow, every treehouse, we have created is not exactly the same. The ability to harness the Dryad Seed varies from person to person, so the Clan turns the most outstanding pieces into art. ”

"But here, I see a different kind of art. An art in which people transform the world into what they perceive. To be honest, I regret when I see these wooden blocks of exactly the same size, why the tree boat was forced to flee from the voyage instead of going to the unknown in the first place. ”

Xia Fan didn't expect her to say so many thoughts, and only after a while did she speak, "It's not too late." ”

"You're right, it's not too late. Senia touched her chest with one hand, "I've been thinking these days, maybe the relationship between Shuzhou and Jinxia City can be a step closer, instead of just staying at simple trade. ”

Xia Fan couldn't help but look away a little, "Do you have any ideas?"

"There are not a few people who have magic power on the tree boat, and if they join in the construction of Jinxia City, I think it will undoubtedly be a huge help. ”

This proposal suddenly made Xia Fan and Mo Yun happy, and the two of them glanced at each other in unison, obviously thinking of the same place - whether it is a celestial motion instrument or a sound detector, they all need to be inspired by the qi. The previous magic weapons have never been popularized, and they are only used in a small range in the circle of alchemists, because the number of people who feel qi is too rare.

If the elves are willing to cooperate deeply, they can undoubtedly make up for this shortcoming, making Jinxia City quickly enter the era of magic weapons.

But everything comes at a price.

This is an attractive condition, and the key is what the other party's price is.

"So what does Jinxia City need to do?" Xia Fan asked.

"Make an alliance and pledge to protect the tree boat and its people. When the Empire's Arms Point to the escapees from the World Island, I hope that the City of Jinxia will fight alongside us. ”
