Chapter 1290 The Results Are Accumulated

In order to speed up the progress of the research project, Roland slightly adjusted his work and rest schedule. He would sleep for two or three hours in the office after lunch every day, which was equivalent to increasing the number of times he entered the dream world in disguise.

For this reason, the God's Punishment Warriors who appear in groups every time after noon have become a spectacle in the castle area.

Thanks to the help of the Graycastle Design Bureau, the new batch of industrial projects are progressing quite smoothly. By the last week of autumn, the tractor design has been basically completed.

Prior to this, all Neverwinter's project processes were first hand-made by Anna, verified for feasibility and finalized, and then divided into production components and delivered to the factory for single-machine trial production. Finally, the flow plan was determined until assembly. Not only does it take a long time, but it is also easy to take detours.

Especially when it comes to dividing production parts - since Blackfire's processing capabilities are far superior to any machine tool, the parts that Anna can cut may not necessarily be made by the factory. A machine has hundreds or thousands of parts. It is undoubtedly a huge amount of work to determine which ones can be completed by the factory itself and which ones must be handed over to Anna for post-processing. Only after a finished product is fully assembled can the project enter the mass production stage.

In fact, we had experienced difficulties in this link when we were producing the second-generation steam engine. Although a pressure valve component seemed simple, it was not until the official mass production that we found that the pass rate was surprisingly low. As a result, the relevant production lines were overturned and restarted. The final product was also delayed for more than half a month.

The Graycastle Design Bureau is equivalent to completing all the preliminary work for Anna, from testing and finalization to assembly line design, and whether ordinary machine tools can meet the requirements. These processes can be completed directly in the dream world. Therefore, once the plan is finalized, the Ministry of Industry can immediately organize production, which also greatly shortens the research and development cycle and cost of new projects.

Roland named this agricultural machinery with high hopes "Harvest".

It will inherit the name of the five pairs of road wheels and work on the land of Graycastle.

Of course, he did not leave Master Xie idle. The current Harvest is just a simple chassis. It is not a big problem to hang a plow and use it as a tractor, but it is still a long way from the ultimate form of five pairs of road wheels.

He hopes to be able to implement everything the military needs on this chassis.

As for the transmitter, Qingqing quickly recruited several applicants, including fresh graduates and civilian radio enthusiasts. However, Roland's head went crazy when he saw those circuit diagrams, and finally ordered them to be replaced with real ones. I can barely tell what is what in graphic form. Even so, he was extremely slow to learn this knowledge. He could only forcefully memorize the sample drawings, and then slowly ponder them with Anna.

In addition to these two major projects, several other key war preparation projects in Neverwinter City have successively produced results.

The first is the North-South Arterial Plan.

Horford Quinn sent him a letter, saying that Chenxi has invested nearly a thousand people to set up cement calcining plants in two border cities. These factories can produce hundreds of tons of cement every day to meet the needs of hardening roads. Now the road from Windward Ling to Shining River has been basically paved, and the second half of the road in Congshan has also started and is expected to be completed in about half a month.

Even with the help of Lian and Moriel, this construction speed is enough to be regarded as an excellent performance. It is obvious that the Quinn family has put a lot of effort into this matter. Coupled with the first completed road from the turning point of Chishui River to Yongye City, this means that Neverwinter is only one step away from projecting power from land to a war zone thousands of kilometers away.

The second is the supporting project of the Arterial Project - the "Hump" steam truck, the first of which also rolled off the production line at the factory and entered service.

It adopts a classic flat-head cab, front-mounted engine, single front and double six-wheel layout. Except for a slightly longer head (to accommodate the huge water tank), the appearance is almost the same as that of later trucks. It has a dead weight of about ten tons and a designed load capacity of six tons. It can maintain a stable speed of 40 kilometers per hour on a flat cement road and drive continuously for 300 kilometers.

When necessary, the driver can also fill it with rainwater, well water, or even urine to increase the mileage - of course, even if there is no supply, it is enough to travel between cities and rivers.

Unlike armored trains, each truck requires at least two drivers. In other words, even if Neverwinter can build a large number of trucks at once, there will still be a huge gap in drivers. Fortunately, prototype cars are now available. The next step is to establish a driving school and quickly train a group of qualified personnel. After all, there are no traffic laws in this era. As long as the car can be driven, everything else is easy.

Finally, there are lead-acid batteries.

Although it is inconspicuous and its technical content is much lower than the previous major projects, its usefulness is not small at all.

On the truck, for example, it provides power for the vehicle's headlights and taillights - the only electrical equipment on the Hump. With lights, the truck's driving time is instantly extended from daytime to the entire day and night, and the efficiency is almost doubled.

It is also used to start biplanes, which can save a lot of effort for ground crews. More importantly, if the engine stalls in the air, the pilot can directly try to start it again, which improves safety in disguise.

In short, relying on the large number of relocated residents, Neverwinter City's industrial capacity once again broke through the bottleneck and entered a period of rapid growth.

However, Roland also knows that this increase is not entirely due to population - if the production is still manual workshop style, it may not be possible to train an ignorant layman into a qualified worker in a few months, let alone a few years. . But here, those experienced old workers are only afraid that you will not learn, but not afraid that you will not learn, because promotion and salary increase are closely related to their apprentices. They are always hungry and want to learn everything. Give everything you have.

Ordinary people can understand the basic operations of machine tools with just one or two weeks of step-by-step instruction. Even if a newbie doesn't know a word of the machine, they can still process qualified parts by following the steps.

With the application of new systems of productivity, the promotion of universal education, and an emphasis on creativity and research and development, the industrialization process of cities will only become faster in the future.

But it wasn't all good news.

According to Iron Ax's report, the First Army is under increasing pressure on the front line. With the spreading red mist, the devil has been able to reach the Cage Mountain area. Some people even claim to have seen the terrifying beast in the Dawn Territory. figure.

When he was in the Fertile Plains, Roland had known the enemy's tactics of attacking thousands of miles. Although not many troops could be mobilized, even a few mad demons could cause considerable damage to the rear.

The scattered terrifying beasts now are most likely sentinels scouting out routes for a surprise attack.

If the First Army wants to counter this, it must have the same mobility capabilities.

He sighed softly, maybe it was time to dispatch the Witch Alliance and the Sky Knight Legion to the front line.
