"It's fast, and it's exactly the same size. Selena said in admiration.

Jiayi proudly picked up a gear, which had a different kind of industrial beauty in his eyes because of the curvature and smooth and bright section cut out of it, although the processing of a single gear was far from industrialization.

"Isn't this much faster than your current gear forging, and the size is the same, which can save a lot of post-debugging time, and does it greatly improve production efficiency? And this is only the first one, which can only make gears, and there are also threads that can be processed later. ”

Jiayi has carried out preliminary assembly line operations in the Valoka Chamber of Commerce, and has also formulated a standardized parts system, but these gears and other things are forged by hand by mages and blacksmiths, and there are inevitably some errors, and when they are finally assembled into a pendulum clock, they still need to carry out the final debugging work.

If a table clock breaks down and needs to be repaired, the repaired parts will need to be made by the watchmaker himself to make final adjustments before it can be used – although there are not many qualified watchmakers today.

If you can speed up the processing speed of parts and save the final debugging time, you will be able to greatly speed up the production efficiency and produce more pendulum clocks.

Soon all the copper plates he had prepared were used up, and he stepped forward to turn off the lathe.

Turning his head to the mother and daughter, he said: "With only a few machines, it can greatly increase the production speed, liberate the mage, and reduce the production cost. ”

Because the forging gear is relatively precise, in order to ensure efficiency, the Valoka Chamber of Commerce is assisted by formal mages and mage apprentices to make gears, and now the restriction of the Chamber of Commerce is not mainly a cost problem, but a production efficiency problem, as long as it can be done, it is not a problem of sales at all.

If you have a lathe, these mages are not necessary, just one or two are left for the maintenance of the machine.

And the labor cost of each mage is very expensive.

Although it is not cheap to use magic stones as an energy source now, it is much cheaper than mages, and even compared to mage apprentices. And in addition to magic stones, it can also use water or wind power, and even human power as a power to drive the lathe.

It's just that there is no way to control the speed of the tool, and the cutting accuracy is not as good as using magic stones.

Eunice looked at the lathe, turned to Kaichi and asked, "How many machines do you have?" ”

She used to be a little slanderous to Jia Yi for solemnly asking herself to send the right person over, and felt that it was a bit of a fuss, but now she is only glad, fortunately, she came here in person, and with some of these machines, her own chamber of commerce will definitely become the chamber of commerce with the highest profit margin in the entire imperial capital, even if it exceeds those old chambers of commerce, it is not impossible.

The advantages of cost and efficiency are too great.

It's a pity that Jia Yi spread his hands: "No, there is only this one, and now the time is relatively tight, as long as this one is used for verification." If you want to update your production line, you have to wait at least two months. ”

Selena looked a little disappointed: "Then why are you in such a hurry to come to us, even if we want to." ”

"It's just to let you have a psychological preparation, the follow-up of this thing also involves the transformation of the production line, time and cost must be indispensable, do you think these lathes will be cheaper?"

......

......

As soon as Eunice and the others left the imperial capital, some well-intentioned people got the news that their whereabouts were not secret, and it was easy to know that they had left.

After the forest wolf mercenary group, the hyenas got the news, they immediately became interested: "Do you know where they are going?"

Fergus said: "It's on the airship, but I don't know where to go, but it's probably the academy, and the people around her are very tight, and I can't get any news if it's specific." Are we going to do something?"

In the last sentence, Fergus said a little apprehensively.

The hyena waved his hand: "No, that's it for now, continue to observe, wait and see what happens." ”

Although the hyena is a little crazy, it has not lost its mind, and it is decided to make more observations.

On the other side, the captain of the Ranger Adventurer Squad, the old cat, also unexpectedly got the same news, and among these adventurers, the news is still quite difficult to keep secret.

The old cat and the others got together, and the old fish felt a little eager to try: "Shall we go to the restaurant again to see if the situation has changed?" ”

Captain Old Cat stretched out his hand and stopped them: "Their president is just going out, not missing, what are we doing when we bump into it like this, wait, unless the rest of the adventure team buys something smoothly, otherwise we don't want to get together." The reason I've been able to do this for so long is because I'm cautious. ”

The old cat has been an adventurer for more than 20 years, and he has never been an adult to follow his father's generation in this business, and now he is more than forty years old, and he is still alive and well, without missing arms and legs, just because he is cautious enough.

Every time he is on a mission, he has to carefully assess the risk, and he will also understand the other party's background in detail when he conflicts with people, and he should follow his heart when he should be from the heart, so nothing has happened, and he has pulled up such a team now, although there is no big development, but in all the adventure teams, it is considered to be in the middle and upper, and the personnel turnover is also the least.

The old fish thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "I also heard a piece of news, it is said that the Forest Wolf Mercenary Group is also paying attention to the 'Song of Iron and Fire' restaurant. ”

"Wolves of the Forest?" the blacksmith felt a little uncomfortable at the name, "how are these shitty things?" ”

Their team had a conflict with the Timber Wolves, obviously, they didn't get any benefit, and now even when they go on a mission, they are avoiding each other to avoid encountering each other.

The old cat also said: "The wolf of the forest is domineering and has no bottom line, they are eyeing the restaurant, I am afraid that there will be no big noise." ”

The old cow urn said angrily, "No, they dare to offend the Mage Association? ”

"Who knows, the hyena has always been arrogant in his work, relying on some connections with several big nobles, he is their thug, and he has never talked about any rules. I wouldn't be surprised if he went crazy and didn't care what he did, and it was best if he bled into a head on the side of the "Iron Fire". ”

The old cat also has a lot of resentment towards the wolf of the forest, but he has nothing to do with the other party, so he can only curse the other party.

After three days like this, Eunice and the others had just arrived at the academy, and the hyena's heart was a little uncontrollable.

Although he is somewhat sensible, he has little patience, otherwise he would not be called a hyena, and now, his real name is no longer used.

He summoned Fergus again and asked him, "Has the owner of the Iron Fire Restaurant returned?"

Fergus opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to say it for a while, and paused for a few seconds before he said: "Commander, they have only been out for three days, and now it is estimated that they have just gotten off the airship, so it is impossible for them to come back so soon." ”

"So slow?, did you inquire about the situation in their restaurant?" said the hyena dissatisfied.

Fergus hurriedly said: "I've almost inquired, this restaurant is opened by the daughter of the president of the Valoka Chamber of Commerce, and it hasn't been open for a long time, and the iron pots and kitchen knives in their restaurant seem to be made by the Valoka Chamber of Commerce." The president of the Chamber of Commerce, Eunice, is a widow, the widow of a small nobleman, after the death of the little nobleman, she used the inheritance to open a chamber of commerce, originally sold some magic jewelry, and a few down-and-out mages have some relationship, received magic jewelry and then sold to the noble wife, among the noblewomen are still very popular. But a few years ago, he started a pendulum clock and pen business, and suddenly from a small chamber of commerce to a large chamber of commerce, and now, it is very famous in the entire imperial capital business district. ”

He took a breath and continued: "However, because of the sudden rise and lack of background, it is said that it is very hostile to several large chambers of commerce, just because the pendulum clock is a new thing, and there is no overlap with these large chambers of commerce, and there is no way to suppress it, but last year, several major chambers of commerce united to compress the raw materials of the Valoka Chamber of Commerce, so that their business was not affected a lot, but later, they seemed to have bought a mine by themselves and solved the problem of raw material restrictions." However, in order to establish a good relationship with the other chambers of commerce, they are still buying some high-priced materials from these chambers of commerce, but the quantity is much less.

"And I suspect that the kitchen knives and iron pots they sell are made of steel smelted from their own iron mines, but I didn't expect that the craftsmanship is so good, but I didn't ask if they have invited any excellent blacksmiths back. ”

The hyena's eyes flashed with a dangerous light: "With such good iron and iron-striking skills, are they sick when they enter to make kitchen knives? ”

Fergus lowered his head and said in a snort: "This... I didn't inquire clearly, but I heard that he had some connections with many mages, and now he has something to do with the president of the mage association, in this regard, we can't inquire too deeply, but it is said that he has a lot of relationship with a student of the mage college, and it is said that he has a large stake in the chamber of commerce. ”

"Student, I want to see what an apprentice can do?"
