Chapter 204 204: Hydraulic Workshop
In the windmill, Aslan watched as Saxon was seriously operating the mill to grind the boiled and dried stalks into powder, while Luomen next to him was very excited.
This windmill was presided over by Saxon, and Lomen was responsible for the construction.
This is a historic moment for the Merlo region, no, even for the entire Melox province.
The royal family has always adhered to the policy of strong stems and weak branches. In order to maintain a leading edge in technology, the provinces directly under the royal family have always been equipped with not only the most advanced weapons and equipment, but also production equipment, such as the windmill mill in front of them.
It has been popularized in Kyoto for several years, but it can be spread to the land of other lords.
Don't look at the fact that windmill mills just help farmers grind food, but they free farmers a lot of labor, and the speed is more than ten times faster. This has cross-age significance for agricultural production.
"Very good! Those who participated in the construction of the windmill will each be rewarded with ten gold coins."
Aslan spoke directly, which immediately elicited cheers.
"With regard to the construction of the windmill in Saxony, without your hosting, can the people under your hands preside over the construction of the windmill independently?"
Facing Aslan's question, Saxon pondered for a while, then nodded, pointed to the young man beside him and said, "My lord, this boy is my son, named Laurenson. He has inherited 60% to 70% of my skills. Let him lead the research and development, or there is still some lack, but there is no problem at all in charge of the production."
"That's great, I'll leave this matter to Laurence." Aslan smiled and nodded at the young man next to him, and then said to Luomen: "How is the construction of the sewer? Can't get away?"
Luomen and Saxon felt as if they had been beaten into a chicken blood. To actually have the two of them join forces at the same time, it must be another big project, and it was the kind of technological innovation.
Luomen said quickly: "The excavation work of the sewers and tunnels has been handed over to my deputy, especially with the assistance of the Ratmen, the efficiency of digging the sewers and tunnels has increased by more than ten times. As long as there is enough food Eat, they even take the initiative to apply for overtime."
Aslan nodded and said with satisfaction.
"Then I'll tell you when I go back to the industrial area. By the way, it's okay to work overtime, but you must have enough rest between shifts. Don't exhaust people. I want to rely on them to continue working for me in the future."
The construction of the reservoir and the digging of canals are really big projects. The tunnel to open up Copeland Mountain can only be regarded as a small project in front of it.
"These two items have been under construction according to the drawings, even if the subordinates are not present, it doesn't matter." Luomen said confidently.
This was also Aslan's request at the beginning, to train more capable assistants. After all, the scale of civil engineering is huge. If he is really required to run from place to place, he will be exhausted sooner or later.
As for the channel that Luomen is talking about now, it is mainly based on the water source of the Meli River and Lake Bellier.
"That's good!"
Aslan rushed back to the industrial area with Luomen and Saxon in a hurry. The industrial area has now doubled in size. The outer area is mainly composed of breweries and furniture factories, mainly to deceive people. The interior is the industry of Merlot Town The essence lies.
The iron and steel plant has grown into a large scale, and has successfully mastered the steel pouring technology. The steel production scale of Melo Town has greatly increased. It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of steel production alone, the entire Belgian region is not as good as a Melo town.
Nowadays, the block smelting method is mainly used in Sino Continent. The steel produced is iron-smelting carburized steel. The quality of this steel is not good enough. During the smelting process, how much carbon is infiltrated, whether it is evenly distributed, and the degree of removal of impurities , are very difficult to master, and the production efficiency is extremely low.
The technology of the dwarves is mainly steelmaking, which is to repeatedly heat, fold and forge a block of iron, so that the structure of the steel is dense, the composition is uniform, and the impurities are reduced, thereby improving the quality of the steel.
In fact, the dwarves' steelmaking is mainly based on forging. In order to ensure the quality of weapons, it even takes more time.
This is why it is often said on the mainland that products produced by dwarves must be high-quality goods.
The steel pouring method and technology brought by Aslan not only improved the quality of steel again, but also increased the production of steel.
Today, the blade of the Huan Shou Dao is made of steel produced by the Yiguan steel method. The only thing that makes Aslan helpless is that the industrial foundation of the entire Belgian region is too weak. Otherwise, he plans to use a converter to make steel, so that he can truly Significantly increased steel production.
In 1856, the British Besmarck invented the bottom-blown acidic converter steelmaking method. This method is the beginning of modern steelmaking methods. It produced a large amount of cheap steel for human beings and promoted the industrial revolution in Europe.
Therefore, you can only eat one bite at a time, and you can't become fat after eating one meal.
In the Magic Academy in the middle of the industrial area.
Aslan and Luomen discussed and drew the blueprints, and soon called Saxon and Greenwald over.
They were stunned by Aslan's design concept.
Waterwheel forging workshop.
This is what Aslan wants to make now. As long as this thing is produced, the forging work will be much easier in the future. The most important thing is to increase the forging speed.
The reason why European plate armor can be popularized, so that ordinary soldiers can afford to wear it, is all because of the emergence of hydraulic hammer forging machines.
The reason that has always troubled the development of knights is that in addition to personnel training and war horses, knight armor is also very important. If the hydraulic hammer forging machine appears, Aslan is confident that fifty gold coins can be used to forge knight armor that used to cost hundreds of gold coins , if the scale of production increases, the price can be reduced by another 30%.
Coupled with the capture of the huge pasture of the North Wind Prairie, Aslan firmly believed that he would be able to arm the largest knight army in the history of the Kingdom of Cleveland.
In the previous life, Aslan's Holy Wind Knights had a peak number of 100,000 knights, and even the great knight instructor had to avoid the edge with one charge.
"My lord! You are really a genius." Saxon knelt at Aslan's feet excitedly.
Aslan kicked Saxon away, and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, I don't want you to flatter me, and immediately find a way to make this hydraulic forging workshop."
Saxon smiled awkwardly, and quickly got up to discuss with him.
The most critical part here is the waterwheel. As long as the waterwheel is made first, Aslan can use it to make more things.
For example, the water-turned spinning wheel can increase the existing textile production by ten or more times at once. I believe it can not only satisfy the winter clothes of the entire Merlot region, but also allow the cloth produced in the Merlot region to circulate to the entire kingdom and even the entire continent.
Only then will he be truly wealthy.
The third update has been delivered, and the number of monthly tickets has reached 114, and another update will be added.
One chapter was updated in the morning, and there are still five chapters to go. This addition is just equal to this one.
I still owe everyone five more! It's a little stressful.
