Chapter 41: Hiring Dwarves

However, the performance of the pure gold bits is also remarkable.

After assembling the waterwheel, gearbox, and lathe, Xia Lin fixed a piece of wood to the wedge of the lathe and started the gearbox.

As the power provided by the waterwheel drove the driving shaft, and then entered the gearbox to drive the driven shaft, the wood began to rotate, and then the speed became faster and faster.

Xia Lin gave the turning tool at the right time, and where the pure gold turning tool came into contact with the wood, pieces of shavings quickly extended, and soon the piece of wood became cylindrical.

Then Xia Lin used soybean oil as the cutting fluid to test wrought iron, pig iron and 100 steels tempered by the blacksmith shop, and found that the refined gold cutter head was really powerful, even wrought iron could be easily cut, but there was no way to face the harder texture of pig iron and steel.

However, the problem is not in the cutter head, but in the lack of stiffness of the hardwood shaft of the lathe, and after the cutter head and the cutting part come into contact, the wood shaft is visibly deformed.

"The Lord of the Molten Flame is above! It's amazing! ”

When the dwarves saw such a shocking scene, they all gathered around, their eyes shining and stroking the lathes they had made with their own hands, as if they were caressing the most precious treasure in the world, even Master Holguin was among them.

"How? Master Holguin, the new metalworking tool I'm talking about doesn't have the slightest alchemist's involvement, but isn't it an infinite number of times more effective than your traditional sledgehammer and sledgehammer? ”

Xia Lin smiled and watched Master Holguin grope up and down the lathe without grace and said.

"Stinky boy, count yourself in win! If you want to recruit people in the Crucible Valley, we dwarves don't have much to do if we stay in the valley all day, so we might as well come out and earn some ale money!" ”

Master Holguin was completely immersed in the magical lathe, eager to clean every inch of its structure, and when he heard Xia Linzhi's smug words, he said without looking back.

The dwarves seemed to value the machine tools brought by Xia Lin more than the bets.

"Master Holguin, these machines are just the simplest, and they can be upgraded to advanced machines with higher efficiency and better accuracy in the future.

At that time, it will not be a problem to make the gears and the balls in the bearings.

And in addition to these machine tools, I have a lot of novelties that you haven't seen before, so why don't you join me with your people.

Soon I will be building a new type of steel mill here, which can produce thousands of pounds of steel a day, don't you dwarves want to know how this is done?

You dwarves are some of the world's most outstanding craftsmen, and I need your strength to accomplish my work! ”

Xia Lin saw that the dwarves were so concerned about the machine tools, and opened his mouth to persuade.

"Hmph, I'm the Viscount of the Empire, the Royal Blacksmith, I won't join you, but you can recruit my people as you like.

Although that boy from Faun Molten is not very good, he is okay, if you want to do something, just tell him, the other clansmen may not understand you! ”

Master Holguin glanced at Xia Lin and waved his hand in refusal.

As a royal blacksmith, he could not join another faction, and Master Holguin himself did not want to join the forces of other humans.

However, with the permission of the imperial daughter, Master Holguin can still get his own people to accept Xia Lin's employment.

"Then Master Holguin might as well accept the position of honorary advisor of the Xinye Chamber of Commerce, the so-called consultant is that when necessary, we will come to ask for advice or invite you to come to the industrial park to solve some difficult problems, if you want to see the development of the industrial park, you can also use this identity to enter and exit at will.

This position has a lot of freedom, and I think it's very suitable for you, Master Holguin! ”

Seeing that the solicitation failed, Xia Lin did not give up and took out an advisor to maintain contact with Master Holguin.

He was very greedy for the process of fine gold, and according to the dwarves, even Faun Molten of the Molten Fire Clan had not mastered this process of processing pure gold.

As for the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, it is the name of the Chamber of Commerce organization that Xia Lin intends to establish, which means a new leaf taken from the industrial tree, symbolizing the rebirth and development of industry in the new world.

"Consultants? You humans have a lot of tricks, so be it! ”

Master Holguin smashed his mouth, tasted the meaning of the position of honorary advisor, and felt that it was quite in line with his heart, so he accepted it.

"Then on behalf of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, I would like to formally extend an invitation to all dwarven masters, whose salary is 1 gold lunt per ten years.

Among them, Master Faun Molten is the leader of the dwarven craftsmen and the director of the machine tool factory, responsible for the management and distribution of everyone's production tasks, the salary is one gold lunt and fifty silver mar per ten years, and at the same time owns 2% of the shares of the machine tool factory, and Master Holguin is the honorary advisor of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and the salary is 2 gold lunt per ten years! ”

Seeing that Master Holguin had accepted the position of Honorary Advisor, Xia Lin was overjoyed, it seemed that his Essence Gold Smelting Technique was promising, and he did not hesitate to offer these Dwarven Masters extremely high salaries.

"With such a high salary, I, Faun Molten, will stay!"

"How much ale can you buy for a golden lunt for ten years, and sure enough, His Excellency Xia Lin is much more generous than Patriarch Holguin!"

"I think they all call Your Excellency Boss Xia Lin, and we should also call Boss Xia Lin!"

"You guys, I've worked so hard to feed and drink, and you still think I'm stingy and stingy with Holguin? What a pack of unfed timberwolves! ”

Hearing the complaints of these dwarves, Master Holguin was immediately furious by such a group of ungrateful fellows who were damaged by Faun Molten Flame, signed the contract handed over by Xia Lin, put down his pen and prepared to step forward to teach these daring fellows a good lesson with his fists.

"Wait, Master Holguin, I'm sure they're just joking, you don't have to be angry!

This is the brick kiln and cement kiln drawings I designed, you are all skilled craftsmen, I believe you are no strangers to these things, in order to speed up the progress, can you point us to how to build these kilns? ”

Xia Lin naturally wouldn't let these precious dwarf masters fight, so he hurriedly changed the topic in a round.

"Patriarch Holguin, we're just kidding! Just kidding! ”

The few dwarven masters who didn't choose to say anything also hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Hey, I'll let you go this time! Well...... Such a furnace still needs us to go out, it is really a dragon slayer gun to kill flies! But forget it, anyway, the ale you have provided in the past two days is not bad, and my people are very satisfied, so we will do you this little favor! ”

The owner of the industrial park in Xialin spoke to stop it, and it was inconvenient for Holguin to ignore the majesty of his employer and teach these people a lesson.

He viciously glanced at the dwarf masters, took over the wheel kiln and cement vertical kiln with a drying chamber designed by Xia Lin, and disdained the design above, but still agreed to Xia Lin's request.

In fact, compared with the difficult construction and high cost of the wheel kiln, Xia Lin was ready to start a simple small vertical kiln like the cement factory in the brick factory at the beginning.

However, considering the large number of bricks needed to build various factories in the future, Xia Lin felt that it was more economical to directly rotate the wheel kiln for mass production, and at the same time the fuel consumption was small.

As for the cement plant, the rotary kiln can not afford only hydraulic power, so it can only choose to increase the number of vertical kilns in exchange for output.

In order to get the bricks to build the wheel kiln, Xia Lin deliberately let his employees first set up a simple vertical kiln at the location of the cement factory under the guidance of the dwarves to fire the bricks.

I went to the Royal Academy of Magic first to select the agreed workers in Karl's laboratory.
