Chapter 473 - Start work

It took more than 1,000 dwarf craftsmen half a year to polish the parts to create the first simple hydraulic milling machine, which was operated by Donner in less than a month to create a more complex and rational mass production hydraulic milling machine. The difference in efficiency between the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info almost made the nearly 2,000 dwarf craftsmen in Fog City begin to doubt their lives.

But it seemed to Donner that he was doing only a tiny job - using water power in the same way that the first industrialization sprouts on earth appeared.

It's just that the development of mechanical civilization on this planet has been limited by the lack of energy, and the dwarf tribe who worship the beauty of machinery is trapped in the country of the far north, and there is no such condition as Fog City where there are sufficient water resources available.

Therefore, the hydraulic machinery that appeared in Fog City was like opening a small gap in the causeway, which would inevitably trigger an unstoppable torrent of machinery.

By the time the hard-working prototype milling machine was dismantled, forty hydraulic machines of various types had gathered on the streets of the thirty-fifth to thirty-ninth floors of Fog City, a total of five floors.

Because there is no electricity, even the simplest automatic control cannot be done, and the feed movement of the workpiece or cutter head must be completed by human operation, so when each lathe is started, six dwarf craftsmen are required to work together, plus two dwarven warriors to act as laborers to carry the workpiece.

In this way, together with the two shifts set by Downer and one shift for maintenance (because of the high level of moisture, maintenance is particularly important), the forty machine tools are equipped with a total of nearly 500 workers.

Throughout the first half of the year, Donner used his brain to draw more than a dozen sets of fully mechanical hydraulic machine tools with different functions, trained hundreds of qualified dwarf workers, developed a complete set of safety operation manuals, and formed a research team composed of six master dwarf craftsmen to create an epoch-making spiral micrometer.

On May 20 of that year, the second edition of the Engineering and Technology Progress Award (i.e., the Tom Award) was presented to the six master craftsmen.

In the last ten days of May, the nearly 1,000 dwarf craftsmen who had not been selected to operate the machine tools, under the direction of Donner, set up six assembly halls in five machine shops (a new term invented by Donner, each representing a street within the factory).

The more than 800 dwarven warriors who came to Fog City with the dwarf craftsmen took on the job of temporary porters.

On June 1, the fog city factory was officially unveiled, and it immediately turned into a giant beast that swallowed metal materials.

On June 21, the three finalized clockwork batteries were assembled in the 41st workshop of Fog City (there were only 11 workshops in Fog City at this time, and the number 41 only followed the original street number of Fog City).

These three kinds of batteries are simple rectangular in appearance, the largest one is one meter two, seventy centimeters wide, thirty-two centimeters high, and weighs nearly one ton, and only a dwarven warrior above the fifth level can lift it alone; the other two shapes are the same as it, and the volume gradually decreases, weighing 400 kilograms and 160 kilograms respectively.

The three models of mainspring batteries are named Santan, Pamplo and Oviere respectively (i.e. the names of the three northern provinces in descending area).

Each mainspring battery is made up of hundreds of groups, including the chain, but except for the output shaft and a twelve-speed manual gear lever are exposed, the rest of the metal components are all encapsulated, and the whole package is lubricated and rust-proof, and only one side of the cap needs to be unscrewed and the grease can be replaced during maintenance - a bit like changing the oil of a car engine.

On July 9, the first hydraulic winding machine in Fog City was assembled.

Subsequently, the first Santan-type clockwork batteries, which were charged by the clockwork, were installed in the renovated shaft elevators.

Just three months later, Fog City popularized the clockwork elevator, the raw material throughput capacity was greatly increased, and the business function that had been suspended for more than two years was officially restarted.

From October of this year, the grain transfer station built by Wesley's hired laborers next to Misty Town began to be opened, and after the grain from Santan Province was delivered here, a steady stream of grain entered Fog City, and while it was transported down the shaft elevator, it was also equivalent to charging the clockwork batteries installed on the elevator.

At the same time, the largest Beiluo city in the three northern provinces, Falling Rock City, began the transformation of the clockwork elevator.

Donner, who had been in the Fog City factory for a whole year, finally came out and put his energy back into the Desperate Lab and the Fog City Engineering Academy.

By this time, the first batch of engineering cadets, including Danny, had been studying here for a whole year.

A lot more happened during the year.

Shortly after that extraordinary autumn harvest in Misty Village, the windmill was vandalized one night.

Jimmy induces Wesley to resign, but Wesley refuses his request and then aggressively conducts a clean-up operation in the Misty Village.

Under the threat of land repossession, villagers with knowledge of the situation reported and exposed the perpetrators. Coincidentally, it was the seemingly honest farmer who married Dia. According to his own account, the destruction of the windmill was due to jealousy of the farmers who used the windmill, and they were lazy and made money by working on the construction site next to Misty Town.

Wesley's punishment for the farmer was simple: he took the family's land and restored the family's serfdom.

There is no such thing as marrying a chicken in this world, on the day of losing the land, Dia ran back to her home, there was no legal document for this marriage, and after this incident, the people in the same village hated the farmer who almost caused them to lose their land, and no one had any objection to Dia's approach, but after such a show, Jimmy's good impression of Dia has disappeared.

The destruction of the windmill in Misty Village is just a discordant episode, and in stark contrast to it, the farmers gradually settled down after the autumn harvest this year because they had stored grain and had income. Correspondingly, the suspicion of the noble lord and the hatred of Jimmy slowly disappeared.

Although I don't understand why there is such a good thing, the real benefits and the satisfaction and security of having a full meal make the whole village full of prosperity.

In addition to the changes that have taken place in the Misty Village, the windmill working group led by Bruno has promoted the windmill at a rate of one a month.

Under Merkel's command, the first artificial river in the three northern provinces was built, and tens of thousands of hectares of wasteland in the basin were initially ready for irrigation.

The administrative division of the three provinces was completed, and the area where Misty Village and Misty Town are located, due to the particularity of privatization reform, was not included in the nearby Fog Township (belonging to Chaolu County), but became a special area directly under the jurisdiction of Maple Leaf County.

The post of mayor of Maple Leaf County was vacated by Wesley, and the actual job was given to one of Merkel's henchmen.

When Jimmy was officially appointed head of Misty Village, Wesley, in addition to his motto of "open your arms to the new era, or be the burial object of the old", gave him a piece of advice: kindness to the bad guys will only kill the good guys.
