Chapter 408: Routes
Back at their residence, Jiayi and the others did not stop, and came to their machine tool manufacturing workshop in Yangxi.
The area of the workshop was not too large, smaller than the area of the paper mill in March, and on the edge of the academy town, it used to be a bungalow, which was rented by the Yanxi people, and the rent was still lent to them by Jiayi.
Although Yang Xi's family is wealthy, he has not inherited the family property, so the money is not his, and the money that can be used is not as good as Jiayi.
After the iron-making blast furnace was completed, the flow of the Valoka Chamber of Commerce became active again, and Jia Yi was given dividends, and he was not so poor.
As soon as he entered the machine tool workshop, Jia Yi heard a "buzz" and "zizi" sound of jingling and machine tool cutting, and his noisy ears were buzzing.
Jancy said: "March came over and ordered two sets of machinery, so the machine tool you asked for was delayed a bit, but it has already been made, and you just happened to come and take a look, if there is no problem, I will produce it for you according to this standard." β
As he spoke, he took Kaichi into the factory inside the workshop.
The factory is not very large, and there are not many people, and you can see that there are more than 10 people working together to produce, they smelt the metal from the magic furnace, and then make the corresponding shape of the metal material, and when the metal is still red, use a huge rolling mill to roll and forge the metal into the small parts or supports needed.
Although there were more than a dozen people inside, it was obvious that they were divided into two groups.
Sure enough, Yang Xi introduced on the side: "This place is divided into two groups, each group has a magic power rolling machine and a machine tool, everyone shares a magic furnace, two official mages, and the rest are magic apprentices or ordinary people, they work together, every five days or so, they can produce a machine tool." β
This efficiency is not low, although the machine tool designed by Jiayi is only the most basic, but with the magic array, as well as the fine parts of each part, if it is not for the mother bed and rolling and forging machine used to make the machine tool first, I am afraid that the efficiency will take a big step back.
Yang Xi took Jiayi to check the machine tool that had been done, and now the machine tool is not the simple appearance of Jiayi at the beginning, and then it was optimized, adding baffles and covers, and blocking all the originally exposed gears and transmission machinery, so that the cut metal chips will not fly around, and at the same time it is easy to collect and reuse.
Jiayi checked it and found no problems: "You can start to optimize the magic power part, if you can reduce the consumption of magic stones, you can save a lot of costs, and also make our machine tools more competitive." β
However, at present, there is only one machine tool in the industry, which is not sensitive to this, but at least it can be improved and launched after the second generation.
And there are not too many secrets in the current machine tool, the core lies in the magic power, which is actually easy to bypass, and others can also make the same machine tool, when the time comes, the machine tool workshop can launch the second generation to compete for the market.
This kind of industrial machinery is different from FMCG, after the real factory starts, if there is no complete need, the equipment in the factory will not be upgraded, because upgrading means shutdown, it means loss. It won't be like a mobile phone, clothes, etc., someone will change it immediately after a new product.

Elmod.
President Renaud and Captain Shank stood on the edge of the dock, watching a convoy of four boats slowly sail out of port.
Behind the two of them was a small group of guards, all of whom wore breastplates that were different from the rest of the men, and behind the breastplate were several pieces of dorsal armor spliced together like the belly armor of a turtle, and there was a skirt underneath, and the upper page of the skirt was attached with a steel plate, and as soon as they walked, they began to tinkle.
The armor on these people is upgraded on the basis of the cuirass, although the cost and difficulty of production have increased a lot, but the protection has also been greatly enhanced, and the restrictions on movement are not so great.
Renaud watched the ship gradually disappear, and asked Shanke beside him, "How many ships are these?"
Shanke said: "With the addition of the ones that have just set off, there are a total of thirty-six ships, all of which are equipped with the latest sonar of our Chamber of Commerce, a total of eight fleets. And that's not counting the ships that installed sonar before, which went much earlier. β
"There are more than 30 ships, and I don't know how many will be able to come back. Renaud looked at it with some sighs.
In recent times, their Valoka Chamber of Commerce can be said to be the most showy, except for Leif Eriksson, who has returned from the Devil's Sea, of course. Because of the news of Eriksson, and the covert propaganda of the Valoka Chamber of Commerce, everyone in the port knew the benefits of sonar.
This time, sonar has really become a hit, but unfortunately, the supply is limited, and the fleet that has just been sent away is the last batch of sonar installed by the Chamber of Commerce, and now it is sold out again.
In order to snatch the sonar, some people even took the risk to intercept the cargo ship that transported the sonar, but fortunately there was a Bronn escort at the time, and all the staff wore the latest armor and did not suffer any losses.
Shanke looked at Leno with some disdain: "Are you crocodile tears? If it weren't for you, these people wouldn't have thought of exploring the Devil's Sea, and you are the one behind this." β
Renaud shook his head: "How can I be considered the mastermind behind this, I just told them a feasible plan, without the slightest intention of deception." This time I go back, I need to let the Chamber of Commerce increase the production of some sonar, no matter whether this exploration of the Devil's Sea is successful or not, the demand for sonar in the future will not be less. β
It's just that I don't know how much the Chamber of Commerce can increase even if it increases production.
......
Skoll Chamber of Commerce, Elmod Chapter.
The president of the branch is a very old mage, really very old, even the body that often takes potions looks like it is old, and its physical functions have almost declined, and the kind of heart is weak when he sees beautiful women.
It's also because he's really too old, and he lacks the energy to continue studying magic, so he went to Elmod's side and became the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
The building of the Skoll Chamber of Commerce is very high, and you can see the sea when you stand at the window, but you can't see the appearance of the port, the old mage is standing at the window blowing the wind, and there is a junior apprentice standing next to him, the one who went to the dock to stop the steward of the city lord's mansion.
"Renaud has a lot of means, just this time, it made their Chamber of Commerce make a big show, and in the future, no one in the whole Elmode will dare to underestimate them. β
The junior apprentice on the side was still a little unconvinced: "It's just luck, okay? I happened to encounter the sonar that works on the new channel." β
The old mage turned his head to look at the other party, and shook his head in disappointment, but after all, he thought that the other party was young and less knowledgeable.
"You don't think this new channel is really an accident, right? There is definitely Renaud behind the push, the Valoka Chamber of Commerce behaves too normally, and it is also very well prepared, especially sonar, in addition to the new channel, the most discussed is sonar. β
As he spoke, he asked the apprentice again, "What happened to our imitation sonar?"
"It's been successful, the performance is already similar to Valoka's, but our cost is high, not much cheaper than buying Waloka's sonar. Andβ" the apprentice hesitated, then continued, "and we are violating the Supreme Council's protective order by secretly creating it like this now, will there be a problem?"
"Don't worry, we can use the personal license, and then we only need to pay enough royalties, and the personal license is not limited, and we don't need to pay the fee in time, this time we are also in a hurry, and when the new channel is over, or Valoka's sonar is sufficient, we can give up making it ourselves. Now, we're definitely not the only ones making sonar in secret. β
In fact, he also played a sideshow, and it is no longer applicable to personal authorization for them to organize people to produce by themselves, but if no one tracks down, it is very easy to fool the past, especially since the backstage of their own chamber of commerce is very large.
"When the sonar is ready, load it and send the boat out, don't stick to exploring the passage to Lei Zhou, try to explore the new routes in the Devil's Sea, I want to explore all the passages in the Devil's Sea. β
It wasn't so much like he was trying to explore a new shipping lane, but like he was trying to find something in the Devil's Sea.
