Bottleneck of Chapter 15 15 Development"Uh...General Lawnes." Chris looked awkwardly on the ground The lying corpse of Berman said, "I think, your allegiance is not very valuable..."
Laurence laughed, his shoulders shrugged as if he had heard something very funny Just like a joke. When he stopped laughing, he said, "Everyone on the boat behind me can assure you that as long as you treat the people of Ferry City well, we will fight for you, Until Death Endlessly!"
"Sounds good." Chris nods: "I'll try."
"Then...I'm yours." Laurens feels at home wherever one is the appearance.
He glanced at the densely packed cavalry behind Chris, walked carelessly to Chris's horse, looked up towards Chris, and said with some words: "If you beat Maine, it means you have to help En. That idiot in Purcell pays 1000gold coin as tax tribute, so I think if you can afford 2000gold coin, you must be able to pay 3000gold coin."
"The analysis is very reasonable." Chris nominates : "I do have a way to get 3000gold coins."
"You are now the owner of three castles, so you have to take your responsibility - pay the tax for Ferry City." Laurens After speaking, he turned his body and shouted loudly in the direction of the sailboat: "Okay! Everyone, get off the boat! Ferry City is saved!"
"..." Chris didn't expect, the other party will be such a bachelor.
"Actually, I'm very curious..." After turning his head around, Laurens did not continue the topic of tax tribute, but talked about the battle of the Eastern Forest: "How did you attack so quickly? Take Encel down and take Maine at about the same time."
"Vagron and I are divided, it's not unreasonable." Chris replied with a smile.
"What I can't figure out is why, you can win both ways when you divide your troops..." Laurens shook his head and said: "You have a maximum of 600 people, and you are not heavy cavalry, how is it possible do it quickly and win 2000 people?"
"Want to see my new weapon? I might have a way to make your navy look a little bit better." Chris tempted: "However, I want to Take a close look at your troops, hope they are as reliable as you say."
Launs frowned looked at Chris, but in the end didn't turn down Chris's offer: "Okay! Take me there! As long as you can fulfill your promise to Ferry City, my Genesis life is yours!"
Chris didn't speak, pulled the reins and walked out of the city. He didn't intend to hide the strength of his artillery, because he couldn't hide it at all. Soon the news of the Battle of the Eastern Forest and the Battle of Ferry City will spread all over the world, and his weapons will become known to the world.
His real killing move isn't these cannons, or more and more powerful modern weapons. What can really make him stronger is the great modern industrial system that has begun to rise in Serris!
So, Chris doesn't mind letting Laurens go to see his artillery unit, completely tame this Flood Dragon at sea, and let this admiral serve him with all his heart. And at this time, Laurens didn't know how powerful what he was about to see was!
......
"Clang cut! Clang cut!" In a workshop built with wooden boards, the giant beast of steel lies in the center. At this moment, it is making a huge noise, driving a huge iron shaft to rotate.
"As long as coal is burned...this device can keep turning like this! This is a machine that is even more magical than magic!" Seeing his masterpiece, the craftsman Smith burst into tears with excitement. A month ago, he was just a blacksmith, but now, he is a great craftsman who participated in the creation of Divine Vestige.
For mortals without magic cultivator, they can only live in the land without magic breath, and can never see the glory of magic. However, the great City Lord Alanhill Chris told them that even without magic, mortals could wield greater powers.
"Add coal! Add coal!" He stood beside the already very advanced steam engine and ordered loudly to his apprentices.
Following his orders, the two apprentices carried shovels and added more coal into the combustion chamber, raising the temperature of the entire steam engine even higher.
Looking at the pressure gauge, Smith was nodded with satisfaction. The internal pressure of the current machine is completely within the design value, and the output has reached the shooting requirements.
This steam engine is connected to 20 looms that have been arranged. In theory, as long as these looms are connected to the powertrain, they can continue to work.
"The experiment begins!" Smith looked towards the female workers standing beside him, and loudly gave the order for the test.
Dozens of female workers began following their previous training, turning on the equipment to connect the loom to the power of the steam engine.
"hua!" The first loom began to operate frantically, and the finished cloth began to roll into the groove below, and was automatically rolled into a roll.
The same thing happened on the second loom, then the third and fourth. Soon, all 60 looms in the entire factory were working, and there was no lag at all.
At this time, the pressure of the boiler is normal, the steam engine is still working stably, and the various pressure gauges are also fluctuating slightly within the normal value range.
As expected at the beginning, these female workers can complete the entire processing work as long as they follow the operation process and manually pull some shuttles.
A well-trained female worker can manage three of these looms, which can produce ten times faster than the previous primordial looms.
Starting today, cheap fabrics will be available to every home, and as long as the raw materials are plentiful, Serris City's textile mills can even supply the world with enough fabrics!
This production speed is simply rolling over the previous fabric production process. What's more terrifying is that with the increase of production speed, the production cost of cloth began to drop wildly.
In the past, it took 1,000 people to produce cloth, but now it only needs 20 people to produce it. The production cost saved is enough to destroy the fabric production ecology of primordial.
What's even more terrifying is that with the steam engine, such a factory can continue to expand, allowing workers who are not familiar with textiles to join in, making textiles easier and more common.
Soon, children and the elderly will join the production sequence. When the time comes, the fragile primordial material production mode will instantly scattered ashes and dispersed smoke, like a snowflake evaporating in the sun, what will not be left...
"The second and the first Three steam engines have already been put into use at the blacksmith shop, and ten more are in the production process. I heard that three of them are specially used to make new weapons." Smith handed the receipt report in his hand to another beside him. an engineer.
The supervising engineer signed his name on it, and nodded said, "The Serris City steel plant is almost at its capacity, and we need new iron ore to support our production."
Today, the industrialization process of Serris City is restricted by the lack of qualified engineers and the insufficiency of the amount of steel raw materials for production. Serris City has even started sourcing steel from surrounding areas in order to speed up production.
"The nearest iron ore is in the earthen fort, which is actually quite close to us." Smith seemed very anxious to expand his business, and suggested: "We have been buying their ore a lot recently, but the price is really high. It's too high."
"There's no way." The other engineer was very knowledgeable about current affairs, and looked the head off and said, "Didn't the Sir City Lord go to Ferry City in person, the Lord will not triumph When we come back, how can we have the energy to move any earthen fort..."
He paused and said, "With this in mind, the machinery factory should hurry up and pile up the number of machine tools to strive for more. Produce some cannons."
"I think so too, but we have to have this time." Looking at the constantly rotating steam engine, Smith helplessly said: "The current production speed is already We can do it as fast as we can.”
Industrialization can’t be done in a day, although there are many skilled blacksmiths and foundry workers in the original Serris City, but they can only Able to complete the task at hand little by little.
Automated machine tools cannot be produced yet, and the steam engine parts are produced by pure manual processing, the failure rate is quite high, and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the current steam engine is huge, but the power is not high.
The scrap rate of parts is so high that Chris's machine can barely be produced at a snail's pace. Even if the standards are relaxed, some machines cannot run smoothly, and most machine tools can only be driven by manpower.
Because there are complete industrial technologies, detailed recipes, and fully accurate processing time data without experiments, Chris is not promoting the technological development of this world, he is pulling this world technology is advancing.
Because of the existence of magic and alchemy in this world, this world accepts the new ideas of bizarre and motley from Chris very quickly. Almost no one questioned where Chris's technology came from. Everyone believed that the fief lord was inspired by God.
The truth is actually very simple. Since God has endowed mages with powerful magic, it is normal to leave some hope for mortals after thousands of years of suffering.
From a technical point of view, Chris is pulling rather than promoting the development of science and technology in this world, so it is no longer the accumulation speed and development of technology that restricts him, but the serious production capacity. There is also a lack of talent.
