Chapter XXVII
I have to say that Kalian's words stopped Austin and asked Austin what is the use of the steam engine being built now, although Austin wants to complain more about whether it can be made.
As a symbol of the first industrial revolution, what exactly this thing was used for, Austin really doesn't know what it was for, because since Austin's birth, the steam engine has almost disappeared from the stage of history for a century. The only thing I know is the steam train and the steam ship, and I really don't know what the use of the rest is, but this is a power source, equivalent to the human heart, no matter what high-end things are done, this power problem cannot be avoided.
There are really not many things about steam in reality, but there is a legendary style, and in the world setting works, there are things with steam - steampunk.
Austin gave some examples of some of the works in this genre that could barely be explained, and explained: "The real function of the steam engine is in power, and it can replace human labor for work and production. ”
After listening to Austin's words, Karen began to think seriously, and then said: "Your Highness, you have said in detail, I basically understand the principle of this thing, but how to achieve it is still confused. However, this should not be something that can be completed in a short period of time, and the complexity is far beyond that of a repeater. ”
"Well, these two are not at the same level in the first place. Austin affirmed, "We don't think about whether this thing can be done, but if there is such a power source, there are a lot of things that can be made, right?"
After hearing Austin's words, I began to think about it, and then combined with what Austin said, this thing is really powerful. In this way, I am afraid that the existence of the whole world will be subverted.
"I see, I'll try to make this thing. Karen was full of interest in this unborn thing, and licked her lips and said.
After Karen finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but she was halfway away, ran back, and said: "I almost forgot, Your Highness, the crossbow is here, the drawings are here, and there are many more links in the design, if it is mass-produced, it may not be easy to get it." ”
"Well, you can use an assembly line production method to improve efficiency, that is, these parts are distributed to craftsmen, and each craftsman only needs to do one part, and finally assemble these parts. Austin didn't have any reservations about Kalian, and Austin said that Karen had any doubts.
However, in this case, there may be problems with the mating in these places due to the different craftsmen. Karen explained a few of the more complicated parts of the picture.
"In this way, this will be handed over to the more powerful craftsmen to do, and if a standard size comes out, there will not be too much problem of size difference. Austin explained, "After the industrialization of the industry, production needs to be standardized, but this is a slow process, even if I am catalyzing, it is not a one-time thing." ”
"Oh, Your Highness, that's good, the more skilled craftsmen, I have summoned them to me, and everyone has contributed to the design of the crossbow. Now that you've solved these problems, I'm going to stop disbanding the team and move on to improving the repeater. Karene said.
"That's for sure, don't say don't disband first, these people won't be disbanded in the future, now there is a shortage of manpower, these days I have been busy with the reconstruction of the army, ignoring your affairs here, in a few days, I will open a school and recruit a group of students, you can try to bring it. Also, you tell you on my behalf that in a few days, after the crossbow is produced, I will hold a celebration banquet for everyone. Austin said.
Karene nodded a little flattered and left.
In the cottage, the big boss received the news from Gray, and said disapprerovitically: "Just let them decide this matter for themselves, and they don't have to report everything to me." ”
The little thief who came back to report nodded and said, "That's right, that's what the third master said, and the sixth master has to report." Uncle, when I come back, do you want to go to the city to find the third master?"
"Can you find them in the city?" asked the boss.
"The sixth master said to keep people in the tavern in the city, if the big boss has any instructions, you can go to the tavern. ”
The big boss listened, nodded, and said: "The sixth is really a thoughtful person, go ahead, ask the sixth brother more about anything." ”
"Yes" After the little thief finished speaking, he felt that the big boss had said something wrong, and asked suspiciously, "Uncle, ask the sixth master more?"
"Questions?" asked the big boss rhetorically.
"No, no," the little thief said at once.
"No problem, just go. ”
"Yes"
The little thief ran out of the big boss and breathed a sigh of relief outside. Some thieves came over with some curiosity and asked, "How is the situation with the third and sixth masters doing business this time?"
The little thief had a smug expression and asked, "Do you know how much property I brought with me when I went out with the sixth master this time?"
"I know this, when the third master and they went out, there were two carts of gold. ”
"Yes, the sixth master said, this time, bring back at least six cars. The little thief raised his hand and said proudly.
"The sixth master is domineering, we have grabbed it for so long, but this is just this little thing, and the sixth master can triple it with one trip back and forth. ”
"Third master, their trip is too powerful!"
“......”
Suddenly, there was a sound of praise in the cottage, but these words also reached the ears of those who cared.
"That kid really said that?" the second master frowned slightly as he listened to his subordinates' cheerful words.
"It's true. ”
"The things haven't arrived yet, so don't spread the word. What about that kid, is he still there, call him over, I have something to ask him. The second master said.
"He's already gone down the mountain...... his subordinate said in embarrassment.
"Then when he goes up the mountain, you let him come to me, don't forget. The second master said.
"Yes"
Gray, who arrived in Moore City, said to the third master: "Third brother, let's send a little brother to the tavern to wait, and the rest of the largest chamber of commerce here will trade these goods, okay?"
"Well, you, go to the tavern and wait, and the rest of us will go to the Chamber of Commerce with us!" said the third master, pointing to a random person.
Everyone went to the chamber of commerce with Gray, to be honest, none of these people can do business, needless to say, these thieves have always only robbed, and the goods they have grabbed can be used, and the property is piled up there. Gray didn't do much business either, so he didn't know where the goods were placed, but he instinctively felt that he shouldn't have stacked the goods at the door, so he parked the goods at the door and asked the guards at the door: "We are merchants, selling things, where do we put the goods?"
A guard came out and guided the quarantined group of goods to the warehouse behind the Chamber of Commerce, and then after an attendant counted the goods, he gave Gray a list and said, "Gentlemen, please come to the hall of the Chamber of Commerce and make a transaction, please send someone to take care of these goods until the transaction is completed." ”
After Gray and the three masters looked at each other, Gray said: "After all, this is a big chamber of commerce, there is no problem, just leave the two brothers to watch the point, and it is good for the rest to go to see the world together." Third brother, what do you think?"
"Okay, that's it!"
