Chapter 3 The Blacksmith Reform
Karui suddenly raised his hand and interrupted, "Wait a minute. I'll arrange the order first, and I'll come back later to hear what you want to say. ”
Yun Fei hurriedly said, "Okay, Master Karui will be busy first. I also take this time to think about and summarize my thoughts. ”
Karui nodded, and turned to walk away.
Yun Fei immediately stepped aside and sat down, holding the drawings, and pondering.
An hour later, Karui came back and couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw Yunfei sitting on the ground with his eyes closed.
Karui said in a cold voice, "Yunfei, what did you want to tell me just now?"
Yun Fei hurriedly stood up from the ground and said, "Master Kalu, I've thought about it. I came up with three ways to solve this capacity problem. ”
"Oh?" Karui frowned slightly, and walked straight to his seat before he continued, "Tell me what you think." ”
Yun Fei hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord." My first approach was to reform the blacksmith assembly line. We can divide the process of crafting equipment into several steps, with each blacksmith only responsible for one of them, and then transferring the unfinished equipment directly to the next blacksmith to continue crafting. And so on and so on, like running water, until the equipment is completely built. ”
"I took a look at the step-by-step process of building this armor. In the process of building equipment, it is often necessary to quench, cool down and other treatments. This requires us to constantly adjust the temperature of the furnace. In this process, a lot of time will undoubtedly be wasted. With the assembly line reform, as long as the furnace temperature is fixed, there is no need for additional adjustments. In this way, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time. ”
Karui nodded, and when he saw Yunfei stop, he said, "Go on." ”
Seeing that Karui already understood what he meant, Yunfei continued: "Second, using the pipeline mode of collaboration can allow more skilled people to perform a certain operation. In this way, the efficiency of forging can be greatly improved, invisibly, a lot of time is saved, and the quality of equipment is also improved. ”
"Go on. ”
Yun Fei said: "In addition, additional materials often need to be added during the construction process. These materials can be prepared by a junior blacksmith, while intermediate and advanced blacksmiths can concentrate on those things that require a higher level of craftsmanship. In this way, you can not only improve the skills of senior blacksmiths, but also practice the skills of junior blacksmiths and make the best use of things. ”
Karui nodded, and when he saw Yunfei stop again, he said, "Go on." ”
Yun Fei hurriedly said: "My lord, the advantage of the assembly line is like this. Let me say one more key takeaway from the assembly line. Because the collaboration mode is adopted, in the whole process of the assembly line, we need to reasonably arrange the working hours of each blacksmith, so that the entire collaboration mode can not be too disconnected. ”
"This can be adjusted in the course of our actual operation. After a pause, Yunfei continued: "The above is my first suggestion. ”
Karui nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "What about your second suggestion?"
Yun Fei said: "The second suggestion is about adventurers. Although blacksmithing is not very common in our country, among adventurers, blacksmithing is a side profession that many people will choose. We can outsource the work that we can't do for the time being to the adventurers, and then just give them some benefits. ”
Karui said, "Then tell me, what benefits can be given to them?"
Yun Fei said: "This can't be generalized. It mainly depends on what the needs of the adventurer are. Consider giving them some gear, or equipment blueprints or something. Most adventurers would be willing. ”
Karui said indisinterestedly, "Yes." And what about the third piece of advice?"
Yunfei continued: "The third method is to buy back the equipment directly from the adventurers, although it will consume some gold coins, but it can greatly save time, which can be regarded as an expedient measure. ”
Karui said directly: "The third option will not be considered. As for the first and second methods, you can give it a try. ”
Yun Fei smiled and said, "Okay." Then we'...... now."
Karui interrupted, "Not now. It was too late, and the blacksmiths had to rest for the night. Tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, you come over early, and we'll arrange that running water again...... Pipeline planning. ”
"Yes, Master Karui. ”
The screen turns.
Karui took Yunfei to inspect the blacksmiths who were already working according to the assembly line plan.
The first blacksmith plucks the red-hot iron from the fire, places it on the workbench, and processes it according to a predetermined shape. When it was finished, he transferred the piece of iron to the second blacksmith's furnace.
After the second blacksmith had finished processing an iron block, he put it into the third blacksmith's furnace, and by this time, the iron in his furnace had already heated up. He hurriedly took out the piece of iron again and proceeded with the next processing.
By the time the tenth blacksmith had finished putting the finishing touches on the crafting, a piece of armor had been formed.
After the whole process, it only takes 3 hours to build a piece of equipment. During the construction process, the equipment was in the hands of each blacksmith, and it did not take more than 20 minutes. The process of building is really smooth and rhythmic.
At the level of an intermediate blacksmith, a piece of bronze-level armor would take more than 8 hours to build, to say the least. The use of assembly line method greatly reduces the construction time and greatly improves the efficiency of equipment building.
Karui watched a piece of equipment take shape and nodded with satisfaction.
He glanced at Yun Fei approvingly and said, "Although it took some time to arrange this assembly line, it greatly improved the efficiency of equipment building. In the past, 10 people could build 20 sets a day, but now it can be done in one afternoon. Your suggestion is very good. ”
Yun Fei said modestly, "It is my honor to be able to serve Master Kalu. ”
Karui nodded, and said, "As for the second plan, it is better for you to implement it." Tomorrow you go to Misty City and help recruit some adventurer blacksmiths. We have some other orders to build, and we can't afford to leave the rest of the furnace to rest. ”
Yun Fei said, "Okay, Master Kalu. ”
Karui added: "As for now, you might as well join in the process of building the assembly line." Your beginner level, you really need to improve. ”
Yun Fei's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "I know, Lord Kalu." ”
When it was time to rest at night, Yunfei finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the work intensity of the assembly line is really high, and after half the night, his arm is faintly sore, obviously a little overworked.
When the blacksmiths came out, they also rubbed their arms softly. Many people looked at Yun Fei with a look of resentment, complaining about how he came up with such a torture method.
Yunfei was also embarrassed, so he could only turn his head and didn't see it.
If he could do it all over again, Yunfei would choose to do it. This is his chance to show his face in front of Karui, and he has to take advantage of it. He didn't want to squat in the blacksmith shop for the rest of the day.
