Chapter 1357 Production Line Starts

Hanzhong, R&D center.

Bai Feng naturally had no time to think about Cao Pi's mood after receiving the letter.

He was now in the steam locomotive factory of the R&D center.

The last time Bai Feng came to Ma Jun and Pu Yuan to explain that he would send the next steam locomotive as a gift to Cao Pi.

Ma Jun and Pu Yuan accelerated the construction of the steam locomotive production line.

Ten days later, the steam locomotive production line was finally completed.

"Hanzhong Hou, now the entire steam locomotive production line has been completed, and Mr. Geng has also come to inspect it and found no problems."

Pu Yuan said to Bai Feng at this time.

The two had taken Bai Feng to look at the entire steam locomotive production line.

"Well, very good."

"Since the steam locomotive production line has been completed, let's start producing the next steam locomotive."

Bai Feng was very satisfied with the efficiency of Ma Jun and Pu Yuan, and then smiled at them.

Ma Jun and Pu Yuan nodded in agreement.

The steam locomotive production line, which took a month to produce, was finally officially put into production today.

From now on, the steam locomotive factory has changed from a small workshop production model to a production line operation.

Under the arrangement of Ma Jun and Pu Yuan, the craftsmen were ready in all aspects.

That afternoon, the steam train production line began to operate.

Bai Feng took time to come to the R&D center to look at the steam train production line in operation.

Overall, Bai Feng was quite satisfied with the effect.

"At this time, Jie'er's letter should have been delivered to Cao Pi."

"It is estimated that this steam train will be able to be transported to Yecheng in the spring tomorrow."

After leaving the R&D center, Bai Feng thought on the way to the nitroglycerin/oil manufacturing workshop.

After arriving at the nitroglycerin/oil explosives manufacturing workshop, Bai Feng asked someone to call Wei Boyang out.

Unlike the R&D center, in the nitroglycerin/oil explosives manufacturing workshop, even Bai Feng could not enter the workshop directly without saying hello.

"Hanzhong Hou, you are here."

After Wei Boyang came out of the workshop, he saw Bai Feng waiting at the door of the workshop.

Bai Feng nodded upon hearing this, and then asked Wei Boyang:

"Can we now carry out production line mode production?"

As early as after nitroglycerin/oil explosives were officially used in the mine, Bai Feng asked Wei Boyang and others to start mass production of nitroglycerin/oil explosives.

Because the process of manufacturing nitroglycerin/oil explosives is too dangerous, it is not possible to recruit craftsmen on a large scale like the R&D center.

The craftsmen that Bai Feng provided to Wei Boyang were all alchemists who had a foundation in refining elixirs.

It took a long time just to hire these alchemists.

After these alchemists joined the nitroglycerin/oil explosives workshop, Wei Boyang and others took them to start the construction of the nitroglycerin/oil explosives production line.

Now that nearly half a year has passed, this is the third time that Bai Feng has come to confirm the progress.

"Reporting to the Marquis of Hanzhong, we are now overcoming the last difficulty."

Then Wei Boyang explained to Bai Feng the progress of the production line construction and the problems they encountered one by one.

After listening to this, Bai Feng knew that if he wanted to mass-produce nitroglycerin/oil explosives through the production line, there were still several problems to be solved.

They were mainly about safety.

"Well, in that case, we must not rush it."

As it was a safety issue, Bai Feng did not express dissatisfaction with Wei Boyang and his team's efficiency.

After all, it was not possible to make adjustments to the production steps of nitroglycerin/oil explosives just by thinking of them.

Wei Boyang and his team had to go through many experiments to confirm that the changed production process would not cause new dangerous problems before they could adopt the new production steps.

"Also, the output of nitroglycerin/oil explosives in the workshop can be appropriately increased. I am ready to sell a batch of nitroglycerin/oil explosives to Yizhou."

Then Bai Feng said to Wei Boyang.

The last time Xiahou Dun came to Hanzhong, he wanted to buy a steam locomotive, but Bai Feng naturally did not sell it.

After seeing the mine using nitroglycerin/oil explosives for mining, Xiahou Dun proposed to buy nitroglycerin/oil explosives from Bai Feng for mining in Yizhou, and Bai Feng agreed to this matter.

However, for safety reasons, only a small amount of explosives was stored in the nitroglycerin/oil explosives workshop.

And the amount used in mining is not very large.

Now to sell nitroglycerin/oil explosives to Yizhou, it is natural to increase the workshop's production.

"Okay, I will arrange manpower to increase production."

Wei Boyang nodded after hearing this.

It is not difficult for Wei Boyang to increase the production of nitroglycerin/oil explosives.

If it were not for the fear of explosion caused by improper storage, all the warehouses in the entire nitroglycerin/oil explosives workshop would have been full.

"Okay, when this batch of nitroglycerin/oil explosives reaches the hands of Xiahouzhou Mu of Yizhou, we will send someone to guide them to use it correctly."

Then Bai Feng said to Wei Boyang.

This is much more dangerous than a steam engine, so Bai Feng also has to provide after-sales work after the sale.

After returning to the mansion, Bai Feng can finally have a good rest.

At the same time.

Yecheng, East Palace.

For Cao Pi, who is about to get a steam train, he has been in a good mood these days.

He has already replied to Cao Jie, and is waiting for the steam train to be delivered to Yecheng.

"Three months or so, to be honest, is still a bit long, I can't wait."

Thinking of the time required for the manufacture of the steam train mentioned by Cao Jie in his heart, Cao Pi couldn't help but feel that it was really slow.

It would be great if it could be delivered to Yecheng tomorrow.

Cao Pi now is like a customer who has just placed an order on an e-commerce platform in the future.

However, although the steam train was delivered very late, Cao Pi and Sima Yi discussed and were ready to use Bai Feng's gift to do something.

According to Sima Yi's suggestion, Cao Pi decided to release the news.

First of all, this can make the civil and military officials of the Wei Dynasty think that Bai Feng also supports him to become the prince.

Although Bai Feng has been very low-key in Hanzhong in the past few years.

But Bai Feng's influence is still very large in the hearts of the civil and military officials of the Wei Dynasty.

After all, the greatest contributor to Cao Cao's unification of the world is Bai Feng.

Therefore, Cao Pi could use Bai Feng's influence to further consolidate his position as the crown prince.

Cao Pi directly adopted Sima Yi's suggestion and was preparing to release the news at an appropriate time.
