In the next few days, the entire manufacturing industry in Ming Dynasty received an inexplicable highest-level task.
Make a mirror?
Stop all other work and devote all your energy to the manufacture of mirrors.
What makes the participants even more confused is that, unlike the original construction method, they only need to make a single repetitive component product instead of a complete single product.
The quantity required for the assessment was several times higher, but the actual progress was very fast. Repeated manufacturing greatly improved efficiency.
For a time, the entire Ming Dynasty started to operate like a huge mechanized factory.
…
Capital City, East Palace, Imperial Study Room.
"Manufacturing in various places is progressing at a rapid pace. It is foreseeable that after this assembly line production task, the national manufacturing model will undergo earth-shaking changes."
Mr. Wuhen put the data report on Zhu Youji's desk.
"It's more than that." Zhu Youji glanced at the report and chuckled: "Assembly line production can use machinery and mechanism techniques to greatly improve efficiency. Except for the fine parts that require human control, the rest can be It is done by machine and only a small amount of random inspection is required."
"If there is any problem, we can directly return or exchange the product, which greatly improves production efficiency."
"For example, for powerful ordnance such as artillery and crossbows, only a small number of factories were originally qualified to build them. Now, the entire artillery and crossbows can be split into parts and sent to other factories for manufacturing, while maintaining the core parts. This can greatly improve efficiency and create firearms capable of ruling the world in a short period of time."
"On this point, I will give you a mechanical manual. According to the above requirements, you can ask construction factories in various places to implement semi-automated construction and improve efficiency."
"Okay." Mr. Wuhen nodded slightly, wrote this down on the bamboo scroll, and asked: "What should I do with the Tiangong Mirror after using it?"
"If it's hoarding, I'm afraid..."
Zhu Youji thought for a while and said: "Take it from the people, use it for the people, use the cost price plus a little labor fee, and sell it locally, according to the household registration, so that ordinary people can get the goodwill of the Ming Dynasty royal family. "
"Oh, by the way, when this thing is sold, you must promote it for me. I am seeking welfare for the people. No one is allowed to use this thing to drive up prices. Anyone who violates this will be exiled at the least and beheaded at the worst. Show to the public."
Although the material used to make the Tiangong Mirror is not special, after refining and processing, the light transmittance and clarity of the mirror are absolutely a treasure, easily surpassing those of ordinary treasure mirrors brought as tribute from foreign lands.
If Zhu Youji is willing, he can sell them one by one, using the rarest method to maximize the price, and make a lot of money.
But Zhu Youji does not make this kind of money, and he is not short of money. With the relationship between Master Wuhen and Wan Sanqian, and with Zhu Youji's current status, the entire Ming Dynasty belongs to him, so he will still be short of this kind of money. ?
As early as when he planned to make the Tiangong Mirror, Zhu Youji had already thought about how to deal with it.
Take it from the people and use it for the people.
There are many ways to make money for Ming Dynasty, and there are even more ways to improve national power.
If you just carry out a mechanical revolution, you can bring out steam and electricity, and bring the Ming Dynasty's national power to the peak of the times.
In just a few years of preparation, Ming's strength would be enough to sweep across the world, dominate the lower realms, and overcome all obstacles.
This is also one of Zhu Youji's future directions.
However, Zhu Youji planned to let his clone do this. He could feel that the repulsive force of heaven and earth against him was getting stronger and stronger. After the Battle of Tianmen, he wanted to ascend as soon as possible.
Before that, all unstable factors must be dealt with.
Zhu Youtang, Tianmen, Shengmen, various religions in the Western Regions...
After Zhu Youji was ready to deal with Tianmen, he would wear steel armor and go around to solve all the problems.
"It's almost time. Once we finish the Tianmen matter, everything will be settled." Zhu Youji said slowly and calmly.
Zhu Youji can finally go to the upper world. There are too many agreements and too many bonds. I am really curious, where is the timeline of the upper world?
After the war is over, ask those two pioneers what they taught you.
"Well, you go first. If there is a way for the whole country to ascend, that would be great." Master Wuhen looked at Zhu Youji and continued: "I discovered from the classics of the Za family that in ancient times, there were only five realms. , that is, the five realms of humans, gods, demons, ghosts, and demons.”
"The upper world, the lower world, and even the fairy world are originally one body. It's just that in the land with strong spiritual energy, after years of development, the immortals in the cave heaven and paradise gradually became a world of their own, and only then were the human and fairy worlds divided."
"So the heaven and earth are divided into six realms, separated by humans and immortals. What's strange is, why are they divided into upper and lower realms? I'm very surprised."
"Haha, it's actually easy to understand." Zhu Youji chuckled and explained: "Thirty-six Cave Heavens and Seventy-two Blessed Lands, these places with strong spiritual energy, attract many powerful practitioners, and they establish their own sects in them. , build barriers to prevent others from entering.”
"As more people entered, the aura began to run out, so after discussion, they decided to split the human world and connect these blessed places with a lot of aura to each other to form a world of their own, and thus the fairy world was born."
"The upper and lower realms are originally one realm. In order to go further, other strong men of the human race went to the fairy world, and some began to seek ways to improve their cultivation in this realm. In the end, they took the same path as the fairy world. , forcibly cut off the extremely barren area, and saved most of the spiritual energy in the upper realm."
"Only in the upper realm can there be spiritual beasts, demonic beasts, and so many extraordinary masters. All of these are the choices of the strong."
"And the area that was cut off is the lower realm, which is the world we live in now."
"The upper world, the lower world, and the fairy world are actually part of the original human world."
"But the irony is that people in the fairy world have given up on the human world and call themselves immortals, while people in the upper world have also given up on the lower world, thinking they are superior. They dismiss the lower world in the barren land and think it is an abandoned place. land."
"But the reality is that all the strong men in the lower realm who break the void and rise up are the only ones among ten thousand, and they can still become the overlords in the upper realm."
"The essence of spiritual energy can only change the starting point, but cannot determine the end point."
Having said this, Zhu Youji stood up, his eyes moving, as if he could see through the endless stars and the changes in the annual rings of history.
"Actually, there is essentially no difference between the fairy world, the upper world, the lower world, and even the other four realms. The only difference is just the difference in species."
"We are all living beings, and there are three thousand avenues, all of which lead to the top."
When he said these words, Zhu Youji recalled in his mind those eternal existences, the leaders of other races, and the huge disaster that destroyed the six realms.
Perhaps under the catastrophe of heaven and earth, no one can escape, no one can escape!
No matter how much you escape to the ends of the earth, no matter how much you travel through time and space, no matter how much you reach the sky, you will eventually become dust and be completely annihilated.
Eternal cultivation has been in vain...
Zhu Youji clenched his fists unconsciously, his eyes flashed, and he secretly swore in his heart that if he had a chance, he would change the outcome of this world-destruction, not to save the world, but to save himself and the people around him.
