Heavenly Dao Formula

Xia Fan walked into the newly built gate of the Machine Building Bureau, and Mo Yun, who was notified by the guard, was already standing outside the factory building waiting for him.

"Didn't interrupt your lecture?"

"Today's arrangement is manual practice." Mo Yun replied briefly, "Why are you here?"

"Help you solve the manpower problem." Xia Fan spread his hands with a smile, "But the premise is that Jinxia City can provide enough housing. I don't know the prefabricated housing plan mentioned last time. How are you preparing?"

"follow me."

Mo Yun led him into a shed covering an area of ​​about ten mu of land, and there was a continuous stream of sizzle sounds inside.

Xia Fandun felt his eyes light up.

He had talked with Mo Yun about the concept of assembly line operation and module manufacturing before, but he did not expect that Mo Yun not only fully understood his ideas, but also used them in actual production.

I saw that in the huge factory building, a large amount of wood was cut into strips or plates of different sizes, and placed aside by category. On the working line, a pair of steel saw wheels rotates fast, and the fixer for the cutting position can be flexibly adjusted according to the design. Once it is fixed, the auxiliary worker only needs to push the pre-cut wood into it, then put down the saw wheel, and repeat several times. Once, the wood can be processed efficiently.

This production line does not rely on the experience of the operator at all, nor does it require the skill of a carpenter. It only needs to discharge and take materials according to the regulations, and it can continuously produce columns, wooden beams and wall panels that meet the requirements.

"How is it?" Only then did Mo Yun show a smug smile.

"It's better than I expected." Xia Fan didn't hesitate to praise—he didn't exaggerate his feelings. As a test for the practice of assembly line operation, this factory building for the production of housing components has already made its simple and efficient The characteristics are fully displayed.

The first shipment of steel was polished into these sharp saw blades, and it was the astronomical instrument that drove them to run. Between them, there is a set of gears that follow the involute design, responsible for speed regulation, direction change and other functions. It can be said that the technologies and principles he discussed with Mo Yun have all been used in this assembly line.

This hut is obviously much cruder than the main hall of the Ministry of Industry in Gyeonggi, but it is not an exaggeration to say that the things in the house are the pinnacle of Qiguo's technological power.

With this advanced production line, housing construction in Jinxia City will undoubtedly be greatly accelerated. In the past, it was normal for a carpenter to saw, plan, chisel, chip, and process a wooden beam for a day or two, so few carpenters came out alone to pick up the work, usually with a group of disciples. But even so, the speed of manual polishing pales in comparison to astronomical instruments and hacksaws. Xia Fan estimated that the average time it takes for the pretreated wood to be pushed into the cutting position to prepare for molding is less than three minutes, and the efficiency can be said to be qualitatively improved.

The only questionable thing is the elves that Mo Yun said were arranged to do manual exercises—in his opinion, what these "apprentices" are doing now is to drive the astronomical instrument and provide continuous power for the operation of the production line.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the talisman instrument is really a good thing.

Otherwise, he might have to be like an elf, becoming a generator or some other human energy source.

"Oh?" There was a rare joy in Mo Yun's tone, "Which part do you like the most?"

"Gear rotation mechanism." Xia Fan glanced around and said, "The wheel plate is replaced by the clutch method, and the speed adjustment can be adjusted by pulling down the corresponding handle. This design can be said to be quite professional."

She lifted the tip of her hair hanging from her forehead, and let out a sigh of relief, "What Jun Jun said is indeed true."

"What did she say?" Xia Fan asked curiously.

"If you want to know, you can ask her herself." Mo Yun smiled but did not answer.

Indeed, the only person who can understand her talent, see the key parts of her carefully conceived at a glance, and experience the same joy and sense of accomplishment as her is the man in front of him.

"Lord Xia, it's been a long time—last seen." Suddenly, a graceful woman came towards the two of them.

Seeing the other party for the first time, Xia Fan couldn't help being taken aback.

The person who came was actually the elder of Shuzhou and one of the high priests of World Island, Ms. Senia.

Her current attire was no longer a coquettish low-cut dress, but a jacket-like leather overalls, and the corresponding sapphire earrings and gold necklace were also missing. Compared with the mature and elegant appearance at first, Senia is undoubtedly much simpler now, but she also feels more peaceful and approachable.

Of course, what remains unchanged is her proud figure—even if she is wearing a work uniform, the effect is completely different from other elves.

"Ms. Senia... why are you here?" After Xia Fan greeted him, he realized that the other party did not relay the words through Mo Yun, but was directly talking to him in Qi Guo's language.

"I didn't say at the beginning that I couldn't come and study." The other party showed a sly smile.

Although the accent and diction are rather jerky, daily communication seems to be largely unimpeded.

Is it so easy to learn a foreign language?

Xia Fan looked at Mo Yun, who nodded and confirmed, "Your Excellency the High Priest is indeed the first batch of people to participate in the study."

"Well, since I don't know, it can't be regarded as poor hospitality." He also replied in a half-joking tone, "How do you feel in Jinxia City these days?"

"It's an eye-opener." Senia walked slowly to his side, "It turns out that without tree spirits, people can come up with so many ways to meet their own needs and make up for their own shortcomings. Our family has stayed on the island for too long , really need to come out and see."

"However, what surprised me the most was the technology displayed by the Machine Building Bureau. On World Island, none of the bows and arrows and tree houses we created are exactly the same. Using the power of the tree spirit The ability of this kind varies from person to person, so the tribe calls the most outstanding batch of works art."

"But here, I see another kind of art. An art in which people transform the world into what they think it is. To be honest, I have some regrets when I see these wooden blocks of exactly the same size. Why did the voyage of the tree boat It's about being forced to flee, rather than going to the unknown in the first place."

Xia Fan didn't expect her to express so many feelings, and he said after a while, "It's not too late."

"You're right, it's not too late." Senia rubbed her chest with one hand, "I've been thinking these days, maybe the relationship between Shuzhou and Jinxia City can be closer, instead of just staying in a simple trade."

Xia Fan couldn't help turning his eyes away slightly, "Do you have any ideas?"

"There are not a few people with magic power on the tree boat. If they join in the construction of Jinxia City, I think it will undoubtedly be a huge boost."

This proposal immediately delighted Xia Fan and Mo Yun, and they looked at each other at the same time, obviously thinking of the same thing—whether it is the Tiandong Instrument or the Sound Instrument, they all need someone who is sensitive to stimulate them. The previous magic tools have never been popularized, and they are only used in a small range in the circle of alchemists, because there are too few people who sense Qi.

If the elves are willing to cooperate in depth, they can undoubtedly greatly make up for this shortcoming, making Jinxia City quickly enter the age of magic tools.

But everything has a price.

This is an exciting condition, the key lies in what the other party's price tag is.

"Then what does Jinxia City need to do?" Xia Fan asked.

"Conclude a covenant and promise to protect Shuzhou and its people. When the peak of the empire points to the escapees from World Island, I hope that Jinxia City will fight side by side with us."
