0172 Technological Progress
Although it was a dilapidated factory with just over 20 employees, both the equipment and technology were very poor. But Zhou Qingfeng still felt that managing a factory was a real challenge because of the hard work.
Compared with the management of Harmony Village in another world, the number of people in 'Holy Light Machinery' is smaller, but the work is more precise. It is impossible for Zhou Qingfeng to use violence to solve problems at every turn, let alone kill the thorny head as a warning to others.
Except for changing the "big pot rice" to performance-based salary, Zhou Qingfeng did not make many modifications to "Shengguang Machinery". He is not a management genius, so he can only try slowly and solve problems in time.
Looking back, Zhou Qingfeng's main focus is still on the upcoming wave of monsters in the other world. He wants to continue to upgrade equipment for his village and expedition team.
More than 1,200 metal arrowheads are transported to Harmony Village every day, and enough arrow shafts are needed to assemble them. However, high-quality arrow shafts with uniform dimensions, round and straight shapes are even more difficult to manufacture than arrowheads.
Shortly after the construction of Harmony Village began, there was an area called 'No. 4' in the village that was on high alert and prohibited outsiders from approaching. When Zhou Qingfeng was planning, he placed the 'No. 4' area in the middle of the village, with administrative, military camps, etc.
Surrounded by ribbons.
Compared to the lively tavern, District No. 4 is only a hundred meters away from it, and it also makes noisy noises from time to time. However, all its movements are basically covered up by the noisier forging ground, and few people pay attention to it.
Most of the people working in Area 4 are the villagers who first followed Zhou Qingfeng out of the Voodoo Swamp. After repeated screening and simple training, the total number of them is less than fifty, but they are his true direct descendants, and they are absolutely different from outsiders.
These direct descendants are neither powerful nor tall and strong, and their appearance is very ordinary, no different from other people in the village. However, Zhou Qingfeng gives them the highest treatment in terms of food, clothing, accommodation and even marriage.
Because in the population registration form of Harmony Village, the status of these people is different from that of "men", "waiters", "civil servants" and "farmers" - they are workers.
The buildings in the 'Fourth' area are nothing special, not large in scale, just a few spacious bungalows. The workers who were transformed from villagers have been personally trained by Zhou Qingfeng since the early days.
Repeated education, repeated training, and repeated practice are just to enable these workers to master a little knowledge. They can read and write a small amount of simple words, perform addition and subtraction calculations, memorize the "Nine-Nine Tables", and have a basic understanding of scale units.
This level is considered intellectual in Harmony Village, where illiterates are everywhere - many people in the village didn't even have names before, and they were called by nicknames. There are many people who call them "mud", "dog shit" and "stinky ball"
yes.
Using this group of low-level workers, Zhou Qingfeng established a carpentry workshop. At first, the workers only focused on learning to use processing tools. After the early warning of the monster wave came, they quickly started producing their first product.
Arrow shafts that are straight, well-proportioned, uniform in size, light and heavy.
Don't underestimate the arrow shaft, it is very important. It is even more difficult to produce than the arrow.
Not long after arriving in another world, Zhou Qingfeng discovered that all the products here were unable to achieve consistency in large quantities. The pots and pans in life, the rulers and strokes in tools, and the swords, guns and armor in battle were all...
It's the same thing.
Human beings lack fangs and claws, so the most important weapon is arrows that can attack from a long distance. The biggest consumable is also arrows. The arrowheads in the arrows are just fine, but the biggest difficulty is the well-proportioned arrow shaft.
The arrows used by adventurers vary greatly in length and thickness. The biggest skill of experienced hunters is to adapt to different arrows. Because it is difficult to make the arrow shafts exactly the same by hand-cutting. The output is also extremely low.
Zhou Qingfeng met up with the "heroes" of the Black Forest in the Iron Ore Valley, and saw with his own eyes those country guys using a dagger to split the wood and cut the arrow shaft. After cutting it for a long time, he picked it up and visually judged whether it was straight. As for the thicker and thinner ones, he couldn't ask for it.
too high.
An archer may not be able to sharpen ten arrows in a long time, but it only takes a few breaths to shoot them. What should I do if I run out of arrows in a battle? Just go up and fight with the knife.
In Zhou Qingfeng's mind, if you can shoot from a distance, don't fight at close range. After occupying the orc stronghold, he began to think about arrows. After starting the construction of Harmony Village, his first industrial project was a woodworking lathe for making arrow shafts.
After all, he was also a person who had received nine-year compulsory education. Zhou Qingfeng relied on the real-world Nantou Township Machine Repair Factory and found a master in the factory to customize it, and soon had a simple lathe design.
Bearings, screws, spindles, tool holders, etc. The parts of the small woodworking lathe are not too heavy. Together with various rulers and simple tools, they are shipped in batches by Zhou Qingfeng for assembly.
The assembly of a woodworking lathe is simpler than a forging machine. With it, the next thing will be much easier to handle. The lathe operates by manual shaking and can work day and night. Once it moves, it is equivalent to opening a door to a new world.
door.
The roughly processed thin wooden rod is clamped on the stand and rotated, and the tool slides gently along the rod body, and a high-quality arrow shaft can be obtained in half a minute. The efficiency of one hour of work is comparable to that of ten carpenters working in one day, and the work is still good.
better!
With the first woodworking lathe, the processing progress and efficiency of Harmony Village Woodwork Workshop far exceed that of manual work, and it can process more delicate parts.
Coupled with a wind-powered sawing machine, simple wood processing is not difficult. With a large number of wooden boards, the construction speed of the village can be greatly improved. One step at a time, it is very stable.
Compared with the unreliable wind forging machine in the forging yard, the wood processing system is simpler and more practical. Because of the importance of the wood workshop, Zhou Qingfeng did not let outsiders intervene at all, and only used his trusted direct descendants.
The wood resources in the Black Forest provide this workshop with abundant raw materials, and several lathes work day and night. They can provide three to four thousand arrow shafts a day. As a result, the arrows provided by Zhou Qingfeng are not enough.
After assembling the steel arrowheads, there were still many high-quality arrow shafts. The village forge also produced some pig iron arrowheads, but this time the inferior products were ordered by Zhou Qingfeng, "Sell it, take it out and sell it!"
When faced with the threat of the monster tide, Zhou Qingfeng decided to strengthen the equipment of the adventurers in the village. "Any customer who purchases the adventure gift package can purchase the equipment we produce at a very low price. The arrows come in bundles of ten and are sold open.
"
In forest adventures, arrows are very important weapons. A weapons store has opened opposite the Harmony Village Tavern, and the main product in the store is bundles of arrows.
The cast iron arrowheads have slight flaws, but the arrow shafts are almost identical, and each one seems to have been carefully selected. Archers no longer have to worry about the differences between different arrows. As long as they adapt to one arrow, they can shoot continuously.
An arrow.
This is to allow the equipment to adapt to the person.
There is a small shooting range next to the weapon shop, and adventurers who want to make a fortune flock here to try shooting. As long as they have used the 'Harmony' brand standard arrows, everyone praises them. For many people with poor archery skills, users
The experience was great.
The most rare thing is that the 'Harmony' brand standard arrows are well made and relatively cheap. After all, arrows are consumables. It is common to shoot more than ten or twenty in a battle. If they are too expensive, they cannot be used.
In order to celebrate the opening of Harmony Village, the weapon shop has a big discount. A bundle of ten weapons only costs one silver coin, which is half the price than other places. Buy ten bundles and get a quiver, and buy twenty bundles and get a 'Paralysis Potion' or 'Chaos'.
Dust' in a bottle.
As soon as the shop here opened, a bunch of adventurers crowded in front of the door to pay for them. The hundred bundles of arrows prepared in advance were quickly sold out, and another hundred arrows had to be sold.
After selling the arrows, the salesperson in the store would like to ask, "Dear customer, after purchasing the arrows, don't you want another bottle of enchanting potion? You can kill powerful enemies at critical moments, or you can save your life and fight again. Limited time promotion,
Chapter completed!
