Chapter 87: Gods and Ants, Terrifying Soldiers!
Industrial standardization is difficult for smelter craftsmen who are accustomed to using experience as a criterion to understand.
Even though Zhuge Bin had just shown that they couldn't reassemble after taking the two bikes apart, they didn't think it was a big deal.
Because to make every part exactly the same, it is better to just change to a new car.
In their opinion, the former is too much of a waste of time, and Su Mu's requirements are too demanding, even unrealistic.
After listening to the complaints of many craftsmen, Su Mu was not in a hurry to refute, and asked Wei Liangcai: "I heard that you Momen have a weapon called a crossbow box?" β
Wei Liangcai nodded and said, "Naturally, there is, but there is basically no production now." β
The crossbow box is the culmination of Momen's collection of machine techniques, and thousands of years ago, when the human race had not yet produced cultivators, the crossbow box of the machine can be said to dominate the battlefield.
A trap case can continuously shoot hundreds of bolts in a short period of time.
This weapon is the nemesis of light cavalry and infantry, and has a rather dazzling record in many battles.
However, after the emergence of the cultivation system, traditional weapons gradually withdrew from the battlefield, and there were fewer and fewer places where the crossbow box could be used.
"And if a trap box breaks, how do you fix it?" Su Mu continued to ask.
And this time, without waiting for Wei Liang to speak, a craftsman replied: "The structure of the crossbow box is quite complicated, and it is not easy to manufacture. β
Su Mu smiled and said, "Let me guess, is the reason why I don't repair it because it's too time-consuming?" β
"Because of the precise structure of the trap crossbow case, it is generally the internal parts that are damaged, but the internal manufacturing process of each trap crossbow box is different, and there are no parts that can be replaced."
"If you want to repair it, you need to disassemble it by the maintenance craftsman and make a new one based on the broken parts, but whether it can be repaired depends on the level of the craftsman, isn't it?"
Many craftsmen were dumbfounded.
Because what Su Mu said is completely right, the biggest disadvantage of the crossbow box is that it is easy to break, and it cannot be repaired if it is broken.
"I see!"
Tao An figured out something from Su Mu's words at this time, and slapped his thigh hard.
"Brother Mu, what you mean is that if there is a uniform standard for each part, then you only need to understand the structure of the crossbow box, then it can be easily repaired."
"In this way, even if it is broken, there is no need to reinvent it, and the cost will be reduced a lot."
Su Mu glanced at Tao An in surprise after hearing this, but he didn't expect that it was him who understood it first.
Tao An used his brain like this, just now I am afraid that the brains of the military cultivators all over the world have paused for a second or two.
"That's right, that's what it means, and the advantage of standardization is that it is easy to expand the scale of production in the future, and it only needs to be manufactured according to unified standards."
"In this way, the production cost is easy to control, and the production speed can be improved, which is countless times better than making products with different advantages and disadvantages according to each person's own standards."
"So I don't care what you did before, since you came to my Reiki Technology Company, you have to follow the rules here."
"If you can't adapt to it, then go back to the Ministry of Industry Smelter, my principle here is to keep improving."
Su Mu's attitude is quite straightforward, he has explained the reason, if he can accept it, he will stay, and if he does not accept it, he will leave.
Although Su Mu's attitude was a little tough, many of the craftsmen present were masters who had worked in the forging field for many years, and after listening to Su Mu's example of a crossbow box, he quickly understood the importance of standardization.
Uniform manufacturing standards are a huge benefit for mass production, which they had never thought of before.
Therefore, when Su Mu's words fell, no one objected, and no one chose to leave.
"Good."
Su Mu waited for a while and saw that no one spoke, so he nodded, and then instructed Wei Liangcai: "You will go and formulate a bicycle production standard later, and everyone will follow this standard in the future." β
After speaking, he went to see the other places in the factory with Zhuge Bin and Tao An.
Many craftsmen also went back to their own work.
Wei Liangcai looked at Su Mu's departing figure, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Su Gongzi is extremely ambitious. β
From Su Mu's words just now, he heard something different.
"Why did Senior Brother say this? From where to see. β
The Momen disciples next to him were puzzled, and one of them asked curiously, not quite understanding.
They only felt that Su Mu's requirements and standards were relatively novel, but they didn't think there was anything special about them.
Wei Liangcai retracted his gaze and said with a serious expression: "You also listened to what Su Gongzi said just now, how important is unified standardization for mass production. β
"It can be said that if the production is carried out according to such standards, the quality level of the things produced is definitely better than that of the Ministry of Industry, what does this mean?
The disciples of the Momen were still at a loss, they couldn't understand what Wei Liangcai wanted to say, and they couldn't keep up with his train of thought.
"A bunch of pig brains!"
Seeing this, Wei Liangcai hated iron and scolded, but in the end, he could only say patiently: "As soon as Su Gongzi's unified and standardized viewpoint comes out, the Ministry of Industry will definitely learn from it." β
"Do you think it's possible to produce a tool like a bicycle that goes beyond the standards of the military industry? I have a hunch that this is just the beginning. β
"We're here for the right time, it's definitely better here than staying in the Ministry of Industry!"
Wei Liangcai's eyes sparkled, and his tone was excited.
At first, he only came with the purpose of learning more knowledge from Su Mu, but now he felt that the prospects of the Reiki Technology Company were quite broad.
Maybe here, he will be able to realize his ambitions even more!
β¦β¦
Su Mu and the three of them quickly visited the entire old smelter, not to mention anything else, the place is really big enough.
It is no problem to accommodate four or five hundred craftsmen, and the surrounding area is open space, which can be expanded in the future.
Along the way, Su Mu and Tao An chatted, but Zhuge Bin didn't talk much, and seemed a little lacking in interest.
He was hit because Tao An understood Su Mu's words before him just now, and now he is doubting his life.
His comprehension ability is not as good as that of a vulgar military cultivator?
Tao An chatted happily with Su Mu on the side, and it was rare to show off Zhuge Bin in terms of IQ, which must not be well shown.
"Brother Mu, I heard you say before, you want to sell the first batch of bicycles produced to the ministers of the court?"
Chatting and chatting, the topic talked about selling cars.
Su Mu nodded and said: "Yes, bicycles must be promoted first, and they must start from the top first, only if they start riding bicycles first, the trend can rise." β
Although Su Mu doesn't know much about marketing, any novelty is popular from the top, and he understands this truth.
But Tao An shook his head after hearing this: "Brother Mu, you are wrong, you can't do this." β
"Those ministers of the court, princes and nobles, all of them are not young, and they don't go out of the door on weekdays, and they all take a carriage when they go out."
"Although the bicycle is very novel, after all, it takes effort, and it is not realistic for you to expect them to ride it."
Su Mu was stunned, he didn't expect what Tao An said at all, but it did make sense when he thought about it carefully.
The officials and ministers are basically in their thirties, and there are many people in their fifties and sixties.
As for those princes and nobles, who is not pampered, how can they spend their energy to ride a bicycle? He was wrong to aim at the beginning.
"So where do you start?"
Su Mu continued to ask, Tao An's brain seems to be very good today, could it be that the brains of military cultivators in the world are down?
Tao An said without hesitation: "Of course it's from the academy!" Is there a better place than a seowon? β
One sentence directly shocked Su Mu.
Oh, yes! Why didn't he think of it?
The seowon is the best place to promote bicycles!
The academy is full of young people, who are receptive to new things, and many of them come from poor backgrounds.
When he took a carriage to the academy before, he could see many academy disciples walking there on the road, because they couldn't afford either carriages or horses.
But the bicycle is different, his positioning of the bicycle is mass-level, the price will not be high, take the road of small profits and quick turnover, and first play the brand fame.
Moreover, the academy is full of scholars, and in this era when the status of scholars is relatively high, this group is easy to cause trends no matter what they do.
Therefore, the disciples in the academy are undoubtedly the best audience!
"Awesome, you're absolutely aware."
Su Mu extremely agreed with Tao An's proposal, because no matter from which point of view, it was the academy that was the most suitable.
Tao An was proud, and at the same time said to Zhuge Bin next to him: "That's, I'm not an embroidered pillow like a certain bag." β
"What do you mean, dead sunspots!"
Zhuge Bin's forehead was beating, and he gritted his teeth.
Tao An waved his hand again and again: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't say anything about you, I just felt it, Abin, don't sit down." β
Zhuge Bin was so angry that his eyes were about to breathe fire.
Is this called not talking about him?
Just pronounce his name!
The two quarreled and quarreled, Su Mu had long been accustomed to it, and at this time he was thinking about a specific promotion plan.
And at this time, he also reluctantly remembered that the dean seemed to have said that day that he would let him go to the academy and go to the back mountain.
He forgot about it......
"Forget it, it's not too late to go back in two days, and then you can talk to the dean about it."
Su Mu quickly had an idea, the appearance of bicycles was a good thing for poor children, and they could directly cooperate with the academy.
β¦β¦
From the border of Yan, 100,000 mountains.
The white-clothed figure appeared again in the sky above the 100,000 Great Mountain, and he glanced at the big pit below that he had stepped out of not long ago, and fell into deep thought.
I feel like stepping out of a pit again, and it looks more symmetrical.
Just when he was considering whether to do it again, the one-horned tiger king the size of a mountain came from the depths of the 100,000 mountains with a nether purple flame.
Bai Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did it come so quickly this time?" β
"Come on, you don't know how many monsters you have to kill." The One-Horned Tiger King said, and at the same time glanced at Bai Yi suspiciously, "Are you ready to do it?" β
"Never."
Bai Yi quietly withdrew his half-step foot, and his face did not change.
Seeing this, the one-horned tiger king was furious: "You are still lying! You're going to do that! Are saints so thick-skinned! β
Bai Yi frowned and said, "The details, why bother, I came to you to talk about business." β
It's not you Terrans who are dead! Of course you don't care! Damn the slasher!
The One-Horned Tiger King dared not speak in anger, so he could only suppress his anger and say, "It has been prepared according to your requirements." β
As it spoke, it let out a low roar.
Soon, huge figures with demonic aura in the sky gathered from all directions of the 100,000 mountains.
There were more than thirty demons in total, all of which were in different shapes, but each one exuded a ferocious and terrifying aura.
But at this time, they all stared at the white clothes in the sky vigilantly, and there was fear in their eyes that could not be hidden.
They knew what they were going to do today, but in fact, they didn't want to go to the Yan Country at all, but since they were chosen by the One-Horned Tiger King, there was no room for them to refuse.
Because if you don't go, you're dead!
The white cloth glanced at these big demons, bowed slightly, and expressed satisfaction, they were all genuine big demons.
"Where's that lion?"
Noticing that the three golden lions weren't there, he couldn't help but frown and look at the one-horned tiger king.
The latter just wanted to speak, but at this moment, an incomparably brilliant golden light swept out from the depths of the 100,000 mountains, turned into a phantom of a thousand golden giant lions, and opened his mouth to bite down on the white clothes!
Under this monstrous ferocity, it seems that the heavens and the earth have been darkened!
Bai Yi squinted slightly, and a red light appeared from his hand, and then disappeared into his palm in an instant.
The next moment, a scarlet spear fell from the sky, without any fancy and momentum, directly piercing the phantom of the lion's head, and slammed into the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble.
When the dust cleared, a large pit appeared in the ground, and three golden lions were lying at the bottom of the pit.
One of its heads was impaled through by a scarlet spear and nailed to the ground.
Even if its body was the size of a mountain, it could be pinned by this small spear, but it could not move a bit.
The white-clothed figure fell to the ground, looking at the three golden lions in front of him, his face expressionless.
"You want to die?"
The one-horned tiger king also fell down at this time, and scolded the three golden lions in anger: "What are you crazy about! β
Attacking the Soldier Saint is simply insane!
Even he didn't dare to do that!
The three golden lions grinned in pain, and said with a smile: "I just want to test the strength of the Terran saints, just kidding, just kidding." β
With the Soul Condensing Grass, his strength has improved a lot.
That's why it wanted to test the strength of the Soldier Saint to see how strong this Terran Saint really was.
But as soon as it finished speaking, the next moment Bai Yi reached out directly, grabbed one of its headsβand then ripped it off alive!
Demon blood is sprayed, and the blue sky is dyed.
What a shocking scene would it be for an ant to rip off an elephant's head?
The white clothes held the head of a lion the size of a house, and looked at the golden lion who was screaming and rolling miserably, his eyes were indifferent.
It's obviously level-eyed, but it's like a god looking down on ants.
"You think you're qualified to challenge me?"
