Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 17 17 The Real Craftsman
"Okay! Uncle Roger! Matthews! Just find a few apprentices to stare at the dashboard! Come with me!" After briefly explaining the work, Tang Mo asked the newly promoted production manager I went to work on my own.

This middle-aged worker named Parker has been working in front of the drill press for almost ten years.It was easier for such a worker to understand the power of this automatic drilling machine than Tang Mo imagined.

He just clamps the good barrel on the jig and waits for the drill to do the work that took him three days.

Nothing excites him more than this, especially when he knows that instead of losing his job, he will soon become a "manager", the sad look on his face turns into a smirk.

After Tang Mo called Roger and Matthews back, he brought them back to his office.This place is still crude, but Roger and Matthews, who came here again, felt that there was a great brilliance everywhere.

When he walked into Tang Mo's room, Matthews was still describing his shock to old Roger: "Can you believe it? The boss even designed the governor...Using the rotation and the spring, you can achieve precise speed." Control... who would believe..."

He was really shocked by Tang Mo's design, because he had rich experience, so when the machine started to move, he could see that it was an absolutely mature design!

What is mature design?A mature design is a perfect design that has been polished and improved in all details after a long period of use and understanding!

In theory, the improvement of these details needs to find problems during use, and then spend time to solve the problems, and finally the most reasonable prototype can be slowly revealed.

But in the design that Tang Mo came up with, all these details were taken into consideration.Including some exquisite genius designs that even Matthews had never heard of, all of them were presented together before his eyes!
This kind of situation shouldn't have happened at all, but it just appeared in front of Matthews so abruptly!So Matthews had already begun to worship Tang Mo as the god of craftsmen in this world.

Roger has just come out of the shock, and his mind is full of the spinning flywheel, and the pressure relief valve that spews out a puff of white gas from time to time.

So he walked into the house and exclaimed: "I only know...it can work like this forever, only four people need to shovel coal, and three people look at the pressure gauge..."

"See? It can drive five drill presses... Gods beckon... Five apprentices, with one hour of training, can easily produce gun barrels... And, they can produce two barrels a day. Matthews stretched out that stubby, but extremely flexible and stable hand, and stretched out five fingers.

"What if... we have two steam engines?" Tang Mo walked to the corner, picked up the wine glasses from the box of ale transported from Northridge, and placed them on the stack of steam engine drawings.

Matthews didn't know whether he was laughing or complaining, and the voice of humming and humming changed: "Damn... let Cyric go to hell... old man, I've been here all my life, nowhere Go! He's the God of Tinkerers, I mean it."

"We only need to make dozens of these steam engines, and we can take over the entire kingdom's weapons production... let alone produce 300 gun barrels a month, as long as the number of machines is sufficient, I can produce 1000!" Roger was also very excited The answer said.

"You guys need to take a break." Tang Mo continued to bend down, lifted a bottle of ale from the wooden box in the corner, and pulled out the cork on it: "Take a rest today, go back and sleep well! Then we will copy today's success!"

"I don't think I need to rest at all! I've never felt so good before." Matthews said loudly.

He now feels full of energy, because he has witnessed the birth of a miracle.

"Things don't happen overnight." Tang Mo poured ale into three cups, then handed one of them to Roger and the other to Matthews: "Take a good rest, for better work."

"I quit." Matthews didn't take Tang Mo's glass.Although from his eyes, Tang Mo could tell that he really wanted to take that wine glass.

Tang Mo was kind, and withdrew his hand from passing the wine glass, and just asked curiously, "When?"

"Just now! I want to make sure that my hands will still be so stable after five years." The old dwarf stretched out his two hands and shook them in front of his eyes: "I have seen too much in my life, but nothing It’s not as exciting as these days! I don’t want to miss anything, so I want to ensure my state.”

"Haha! Not a bad idea." Tang Mo raised his wine glass with a smile, and motioned to the two of them: "Today's success!"

"Toast to the workshop!" Roger raised his glass and shook it in front of him, and then drank the ale inside - he really wanted to drink something, because his heart was full of excitement.

"The next thing will be much easier. As long as we manufacture enough steam engines, we can save manpower and manufacture more parts faster." Driven by the steam engine, the industrial machine that Tang Mo wants will soon be ready. Produce more parts.

By combining these parts, more machines can be made.With more machines, Tang Mo could expand his production more quickly.

This is the self-reproduction of the industry, which can be said to grow at a geometric rate!Once this trend starts, it will not stop until it pushes the productivity of the entire planet to the limit of industrial production.

"Have a good rest, let's find a way to use the existing steam engine power, connect more complex machine tools, and produce more steam engine parts at a faster speed." Tang Mo also gulped it down, and then thought about it to the two of them. a bright future.

"Compared to workers, these machines are the real craftsmen of this era! They won't be lazy, they don't need to rest, they just need to be well maintained, and they can continue to work! As long as we have enough coal and water, enough We will continue to produce the products we want!" He put the wine glass back on the table, and said excitedly: "Soon you will find that...the times have changed!"

When he saw his steam engine really turning, all Tang Mo's plans were on track.

Now he can calmly produce his own industrial mother machine, calmly produce more mechanical equipment, and then complete the Earl's order with ease.

As long as the orders continue to flow in, he will have more resources to invest in larger productions—a virtuous cycle begins, and Tang Mo's power will become stronger and stronger as time goes by!

Hearing what he said, Roger was taken aback for a moment, and then understood everything Tang Mo said.These machines, increasingly flexible machines, will ease production and control quality to a more precise range.

Although manual manufacturing is actually more precise, the production speed limits the scale of manual production!Once machinery started appearing on a large scale, manufacturing became easy.

Matthews also understood Tang Mo's words. The fact that a machine became a craftsman was not a threat to him, because he knew that his hands were much more flexible than a machine.

Moreover, the machinery of this era is not as subversive as a five-axis machine tool. No matter how exquisite it is, it is nothing more than rotary cutting—after all, it is still necessary to rely on human hands to manufacture individual parts...

"Oh!" Just as they were talking, the workers outside cheered. After several minutes of rotation without any failure, these workers finally confirmed the fact that the thing in front of them was indeed a success. up.

The cheers joined together, making the whole workshop even more noisy.The roar of the machines and the cheers of the workers made the workshop full of life.

Next, we need to deal with the bullet, Tang Mo thought weakly in his heart.Bullets in this era are actually very dangerous. They will go off from time to time, and they will hurt themselves before they hurt anyone. They are not very popular with everyone.

The kind of fool who is willing to tuck a pistol under his arm has not yet appeared, and naturally there will be no madman who stuffs his pockets with bullets.

In addition to misfiring and hurting people, the bullets at this time are still very unreliable. Except for the top quality control bullets that are carefully crafted by hand, mass-produced bullets often have misfires.

On the battlefield, it is not an embarrassing thing for 1000 fusilier troops to fire and only fire 900 rounds of bullets. On the contrary, it is an honor of well-trained weapons in good condition!

Every soldier on the battlefield is very nervous, so it is not surprising that any accidents happen.Some soldiers even fired the first shot, and the bullet got stuck in the barrel, and then he continued to reload and fire until the bullet filled the entire barrel.

But Tang Mo felt that it was time to change this situation.He wants to use the power of the mechanical industry to teach these idiots from other worlds a good lesson, let them know what is meant by almost flawless quality control!

Once machines largely replace human hands, product quality control becomes possible and bullets become more reliable.

Northridge has coal, Northridge has iron!With coal and steel, Tang Mo has the confidence to build a qualified army in this era!

After Earl Ronin Fischero wins the war that is about to break out with the K1 fast gun, the reputation of Tang's weapons will be completely known to everyone.

At that time, the opponent will really pay attention to his existence, and similarly, at that time, Tang Mo will be able to stand in front of the Cyric consortium and welcome the next storm.
