Chapter 246: About Industry
A new blackboard was moved to the cafeteria of the castle. Binglin took chalk, wrote a lot of words on the blackboard, drew a lot of patterns, and then turned to look at everyone.
"At present, the core problem of Tara Khan is the scarcity of labor, and the problem of population cannot be solved for the time being, so we can only change our thinking and use other methods to make up for the shortage of labor."
He opened his mouth and went straight to the subject: "After research, I think that now is the time to promote industrial construction."
As soon as these words came out, everyone talked and shook their heads everywhere.
In everyone's impression, the premise of engaging in industry is that agriculture is relatively developed and can free up a certain amount of labor. At present, the agriculture led by Tara Khan can only be said to be barely on the right track. There is no stability for three or five years. I am afraid that it is not even a well-off level. It is 108,000 miles away from the developed world. I'm afraid it's not that the head has entered the water!
"I know everyone's concerns are nothing more than 'insufficient labor'." Bing Lin smiled and said confidently, "But in fact, industrial production does not necessarily require a large amount of labor."
"What? Are you going to build an automated factory?" Wumian asked in surprise, "Can our technical reserves reach this level?"
"Complete automation, of course, is impossible." Bing Lin said, "but it is completely feasible to focus on automation and only need some people to monitor the production process."
This sentence is like a stone thrown into the pool, and a lot of water splashes suddenly. Everyone has been asking about it, and they are all curious about this "quasi-automatic factory".
The soldiers are in a hurry and answer them one by one.
"Experiment? The experiment has been done, a small-scale production line. The effect is not bad."
"Cost? The cost is indeed a bit high. It's impossible to have the best of both worlds these days."
"What can I produce? At least for now, I can only produce some relatively simple implements. I plan to use them to produce farm implements such as hoes, plowshares, and shovels. Farm implements don't need to be strong anyway. Return the shards and you can go back to the furnace and make them again.”
"Support? Of course everyone's support is needed. A small laboratory production line and a factory that can actually be put into production are completely different things. To build this factory, a large number of staff with at least middle school level are needed. Apart from everyone, I have nowhere to find such talent."
...
After some noise, the cafeteria was quiet again, and Binglin began to introduce his production line in detail.
After the accident of the Edward family, Binglin not only gained a lot of experience points, but more importantly, broadened his horizons and inspired inspiration. Just like the legendary "Epiphany", he quickly combined his magical knowledge and technological knowledge to develop a magical machine.
This kind of machinery is powered by magic and the main body of the machine. The parts that require precision machining and special lubrication are also replaced by magic effects. Although to maintain its normal operation, a high-level magician is required to make continuous efforts. , but there is no shortage of such talents among the transmigrators.
Everyone's skill level may not be high enough, but when using magic through the skill system, it is extremely accurate, and there is no error at all.
Panda and others are not satisfied with relying on the system to use skills, they have been working **** self-study and using their own strength to master the use of skills. This approach is of course correct, and Binglin also thinks so.
But at the same time, it is not advisable to deny the skills of the system.
That extraordinary precision is very useful!
Binglin and their research team took advantage of this precision to create a tool that can convert the spells produced by the system into magical energy. As long as you calculate the magic attack power and match the magic skills of the corresponding level, you can get at least two or more magic energy accurate to the decimal point.
Not much, not much.
With this premise, all kinds of "quantitative" machines can run stably and combine into a reliable production line.
In other words, this wonderful production line system must and can only be used as the power source by the traversers, and nothing else.
This is of course not bad, at least to prevent plagiarism.
After four or five days, several new production lines were built, modeled on the original production line made by the scientific research team. They can respectively produce shovels, picks, plows, pots and knives, which happen to be the most commonly used metal implements in farmers' daily life.
But when the production line was completed, we discovered another serious problem.
Raw materials are gone.
To make metal equipment, of course, metal is needed as a raw material, and the traversers do not have a lot of metal in reserve.
This is embarrassing to say, but in their warehouse, there is a lot of gold, a lot of silver, a lot of copper, but not much steel - no, there are also a lot of high-quality stainless steel, but ordinary iron ingots used to make farm tools and kitchen utensils Not much.
To prepare new tools for the people of Tara Khan, the number of iron ingots required is staggering. At present, there are about 20,000 families in the area directly under the jurisdiction of Earl Tarahan. Assuming that a set of iron utensils is prepared for each family, that is 20,000 sets. No matter how much you save on a set of iron, you need at least two kilograms of iron, which adds up to forty tons.
Forty tons of iron ingots... an astonishingly large amount in this world.
It's really thanks to the vast territory of Tara Khan, and all that needs to be prepared is the iron utensils needed by families in the counties. If there are a few densely populated counties in the south, the population alone will be three or four times that of Tara Khan. Even if the direct-administered area is only one-quarter to one-third of the entire territory, it has far exceeded one hundred tons.
One hundred tons of iron ingots? If it is placed on earth, it is probably the output of a famous prefecture-level city in China in about one minute...maybe a little less. But in this world of backward mining and smelting technology, then... tsk tsk.
The traversers don't need to prepare as many as 100 tons of iron ingots, they only need to prepare 40 tons.
The problem is, forty tons is not easy!
After some discussion, they finally came up with a plan.
A simple solution.
Led by the panda, more than a dozen traversers who are good at fighting were selected. Their task was to go to the Thracian Empire, find some warehouses for iron ingots and the like, and then transport the contents away and turn them into resources needed for the construction of Tara Khan.
Well, that's roughly the case, just master the specific details yourself.
Looking at this plan, Panda could not laugh or cry.
I just came back from a "business trip", and I have to go out to run errands again.
"It seems that I am a toiler!"
