In order to increase cement production, Xia Lin made several additional sets of grinding equipment, and also customized a batch of masks sewn with fine gauze and roving gauze to the Greg Chamber of Commerce, so as not to inhale too much dust and cause silicosis.

During this time, in addition to the external shelter of the factory has not been built, the brick factory and the cement plant have been successfully completed, of which the brick factory has a daily output of 40,000 bricks, and the cement plant has a daily output of 300 pounds, that is, almost a ton of cement.

The number of employees has also reached a staggering 600, and those 45 employees have also become independent managers.

Some are responsible for the registration and management of brick movers, brick makers, some are responsible for porters, cement grinders, some are responsible for canteens, some are responsible for material management, etc.

And every day, Xia Lin's gold coins are also spent like flowing water.

In a month, the labor cost reached 90 gold lundes, and the cost of other raw materials reached 220 gold lundes, which was close to Xia Lin's estimated initial investment amount.

However, the effect is also significant, and now the fish teeth can no longer provide enough employees, so Xia Lin has to go back to the territory of Tongshou to recruit a group of his hometown fathers.

The reason why they were not considered in the previous recruitment of brick workers was also because the act of digging clay on the territory of the fish tooth was more hateful, and it was more appropriate to use locals.

However, there is no need to think about these types of jobs such as bricklayers and cement grinders, and when the paper mill opens, Xia Lin plans to stuff all his hometown people into a paper mill with relatively good working conditions.

With a steady stream of bricks and cement, Charlin recruited a group of construction workers at 30 copper pewis a day on several nearby organization sites, and after a brief training, put Adams and an employee named Sharp Walter in charge of the construction team.

This Sharp Walter was one of the first people to reach the hundred common words of Xia Lin, and he was able to carry out Xia Lin's orders well, so he caught Xia Lin's attention and got this opportunity.

If there are no major problems in the future, after Adams becomes the director of the cement plant, Sharp will become the official head of the construction team, that is, the contractor foreman in his previous life.

With this relatively professional construction team, the construction speed of the industrial park has suddenly accelerated.

After the foundation was compacted and the land leveling work was completed, Xia Lin quickly began to build the five factories along the river, and the industrial park looked like a day under the huge and cheap manpower of the slums.

Soon, tall factories with brick and concrete structures were completed one by one by the river.

The two-storey buildings, covering an area ranging from 400 to 600 square meters, are made of non-flammable hardwood beams, tiled roofs, and filled with diatomaceous earth cushion in the roof structure for fire prevention, with two waterwheels erected on the riverside as a power source for the factory.

At the first time when the machine tool factory was completed, Xia Lin asked people to move the four machine tools that were guarded day and night under the grass shed to the machine tool factory.

At the same time, the dwarven masters began to use these machines to process wrought iron, and produce their own large centrifuges, piston filters, water bath pipes, and coarse salt refining units designed according to the power of the waterwheel.

In addition, the research and development of subsequent upgrades to the machine tool was also arranged by Xia Lin in the schedule for the head of the machine tool factory, Faun Molten.

Once the steel shaft, lead screw and bed are processed with sufficient precision, replacing the hardwood shaft and wooden bed of the current four machine tools, with the hardness, stiffness and wear resistance of the pure gold cutter head, Xia Lin will soon be able to use these machine tools as the mother machine to produce more machine tools.

This is how the machining industry is constantly iterating to improve its machining capabilities, and finally be able to achieve a trace or even more accurate machining accuracy.

Spending a large amount of money for such a period of time, seeing that the funds on hand are getting less and less, Xia Lin can't wait to get the harvest.

On the other hand, the various pools of the paper mill have also been repaired, water is lifted by water wheels, and there is a set of automatic mixing devices designed by Xia Lin, and the production efficiency of the paper mill is not known to be higher than that of the previous small workshop.

After Xia Lin formulated the production regulations and made them familiar with them, Roy soon led his fifteen men to recruit enough workers to start production, and a new job was added near the industrial park, which was to cut reeds in the reeds.

A bundle of sixty or seventy pounds of reeds can be sold for eight copper pesas in a paper mill, and an adult laborer can cut three or four hundred pounds of reeds in a day, and as long as he is not afraid of being tired, he can earn nearly half a silver mar in a day.

After these reed rods are manually cut off from the head and tail, they will turn into yellowish paper in a process, and part of the first batch of paper is transported to the Royal Academy of Magic, and the other part is sold through the channel of the Greg Chamber of Commerce.

The paper mill composed of a dipping workshop, a pulping workshop, a refining and mixing workshop, a copying workshop, and a trimming and drying workshop has a daily output of 200 heavy papers, which is 80,000 sheets in terms of the number of sheets.

In just a few days, high-quality and inexpensive paper occupied most of the market in the imperial capital. After all, parchment paper is complex to make, the production is low, and the price is high, which cannot satisfy the perennial thirst of the paper market.

Countless scholars, mages, and aristocrats praised this novel paper, and the industrial park located in the slums also came into their sight for the first time.

And the production of the paper mill also began to bring the first income to Xia Lin.

Because the output of the large-scale paper mill far exceeded Charlin's estimates, he eventually set the price of the paper at 3 copper pes.

The cost of a paper mill to produce a piece of paper is less than half a copper bis, and the paper mill can bring a high income of 20 gold lunt to Xia Lin in one day, which is enough to cover the current daily increase in raw material and labor expenditure.

After the paper mill, the sugar and salt mill was put into operation, and with the pure gold cutter head machine, the dwarven masters could only be said to process the softer wrought iron with ease and pleasure, and soon produced a cylindrical centrifuge with a height of 1.5 m and a radius of 0.4 m, which was roughly the same as the simple centrifuge used by Xia Lin before.

It's just that the shape is different, the size is larger, and two valves for taking liquid have been added, and there is a pipe for water inlet at the top.

After connecting to the power of the water wheel, the centrifuge loaded with 225 pounds slowly rotated, and the speed gradually increased, and after a period of time, the workers poked open the valve with iron rods, and the centrifuged brown sugar solution flowed down the cast iron pipe into the piston filter on the side.

The rotation of the water wheel outside the factory drives the piston to move, and the brown sugar solution quickly turns into a clear trickle into the water bath pipe embedded in the stove, and after heating, it becomes a concentrated white sugar solution, which is scooped into an iron basin and fixed to the side with hooks by the workers at the end of the pipe, and the white sugar crystals are precipitated by the workers at the end of the pipe.
