Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 102 131. Opening the Pipeline
Wang Hao took the time to check the space. The land on the farm has been developed, and half of the total 40 yuan land has been upgraded to red land.

Wang Hao also wanted to upgrade to the black land, but the system didn't prompt him. Wang Hao tried to operate it himself, but he didn't succeed, which means he can't upgrade to the black land now.

There are sixteen card slots in the fishery, and the maximum level is eighteen card slots. As long as you invest hundreds of thousands of gold coins, you should be able to upgrade to the top level.

Since unlocking the crocodile, Wang Hao didn't dare to invest in the fishing ground anymore. Raising crocodiles is very good. This was just Wang Hao's idea at the beginning, but now Wang Hao doesn't have this idea.

The crocodiles thrown into the Yangtze River have not been hunted clean. Even if Wang Hao is expected to take Jiangdong next year, Wang Hao who occupies the south bank of the Yangtze River will have to face the harassment of crocodiles.

The ranch has unlocked vultures and spotted hyenas, but the gold coins are not enough to reserve 100 million for the time being, and new species cannot be unlocked yet.

It is worth mentioning that in the past, the land and pastures in Wang Hao Space were not fully developed, and it took half a year to collect a million gold coins, but now it only takes four months.

In a few days, Wang Hao will be able to collect a million gold coins. He wants to see what surprises the ranch will give him. Wang Hao has always been full of fantasies about the beasts in the ranch.

Gan Ning: "Isn't my lord going back to Zhu Yalang?"

Wang Hao: "Before I leave, I have something to discuss with Ma Zuojiang..."

Gan Ning: "That guy is hiding in the workshop every day, even I won't let him in, and he doesn't know what he's doing?"

Gan Ning was also a little depressed. Under Wang Hao's rule, except for Zhu Yalang, who was under closed management and had to go through strict inspections when entering and leaving, the workshops in other places were not so strict.

Because the keel shipbuilding technical drawings were stolen, Wang Hao gave Ma Jun a special privilege. Ma Jun was in charge of Jiangxia Workshop, which was called his private restricted zone.

Except for Wang Hao and those with Wang Hao's secret orders, no one can break into Ma Jun's military workshop without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!

Ma Jun's ability to become a great inventor is inseparable from his hard work. Once he is working, he often forgets to sleep and eat. Gan Ning asked someone to pass on the ordnance supplies, but Ma Jun just nodded and asked his subordinates to send them out. Gan Ning wanted to see Ma Jun. It’s difficult on every side.

Wang Hao: "Master Ma, you haven't had your meal yet. How about you dine with me today?"

When Wang Hao walked into the military workshop, Ma Jun and a dozen master craftsmen were still busy with their own affairs, and did not notice Wang Hao and others.

Gan Ning saw that Ma Jun and others were so rude, Wang Hao stopped him just as he was about to speak, because Wang Hao didn't want to interrupt Ma Jun and others' thoughts.

Ma Jun: "My lord is here, why are you silent..."

Guard: "..."

Wang Hao: "Ma Zhujiang doesn't need to blame them, I let them..."

Ma Jun: "My lords, why are we here?"

Wang Hao: "Let's not talk about this first, let's go to eat first, and all the masters should join us."

Ma Jun: "This subordinate is disrespectful."

Craftsman: "Thank you, my lord!"

Wang Hao and his group went to the canteen of the workshop, followed by Gan Ning, Hu Che'er and others. The canteen of the workshop was similar to the modern one. The environment in the big canteen was so-so, but the dishes were good.

Wang Hao: "What Ma Zuojiang made before was a road car?"

Ma Jun: "This is Zijin's idea. According to what the lord said before, Zijin has already made a rough drawing. If the lord wants to see it, you can let Zijin..."

Wang Hao: "That's not necessary, you will host everything in the workshop, so I don't need to worry about it..."

Wang Hao never intervened in the affairs of the workshop, and only occasionally gave some opinions. Wang Hao knew himself well, and he was not good at some things, so he should not point fingers, otherwise it would only increase disgust.

It is precisely because of Wang Hao's delegation of power that Ma Jun and others can really display their talents. In addition to Ma Jun's master and apprentice, there are many branches of the craftsmanship, such as the Mohist construction craftsmen, and all carpenters and blacksmiths. .

Ma Jun: "Thank you, my lord, for your trust. Is my lord here for the Yuanrong crossbow or the catapult?"

Ma Jun remembered that when Huang Xu came to collect supplies, he said that Wang Hao needed a large number of catapults and crossbow arrows to take down Kuaiji County before the spring.

Wang Hao: "Craftsman Ma is really good at predicting things, I am here to compare two things!"

Since Ding Feng chose to hold on and Jia Xu wanted to use a fire attack to capture Kuaiji County, Wang Hao thought of a plan, but it required a large number of catapults and crossbows. This number was astonishing, so Wang Hao had to come in person. A trip to the workshop.

Ma Jun: "About how much it will cost, can my lord give me an idea?"

Wang Hao: "It's quite a lot. We need about a thousand catapults, 200 million crossbow arrows, and as many Yuan Rong crossbows as we have!"

Ma Jun: "This..."

Craftsman: "..."

Wang Hao: "I also know that this is a bit difficult, but this battle involves 10,000+ people, so..."

Ma Jun: "Your Majesty, I feel ashamed of the people in the world, but there are so many supplies, let alone the Yuanrong crossbow and the catapult..."

It's not that Ma Jun doesn't want to make it for Wang Hao, but because they can't do it at all. A skilled master craftsman can make more than ten Yuanrong crossbows by genius, while those apprentices can only make two or three a day.

Catapults are siege vehicles, and it would take several days for Ma Jun to assemble one, let alone a thousand at a time.

Wang Hao: "I have an idea, but I don't know if it can work. Master Ma asked someone to follow me to the workshop, and then asked someone to bring me the drawings..."

After dinner, Wang Hao, Ma Jun and others came to visit the production again. Wang Hao's idea was very simple. As anyone in the 21st century knows, that is assembly line production.

A watch has more than 3 parts, and a car is composed of more than [-] parts. Such complex processes can be produced on an assembly line. Wang Hao does not believe that a mere catapult cannot be disassembled and produced on an assembly line.

Wang Hao: "Please ask Master Ma to ask the craftsmen who made the catapults and the apprentices to come over..."

After Wang Hao got the blueprint, he took a rough look at the blueprint and knew the simple principle of the catapult, so he asked Ma Jun to call the workshop craftsman over.

After asking, I found out that generally a catapult requires fifteen apprentice craftsmen, and it takes three days to complete the production.

Wang Hao found a master who specializes in making catapults and asked them to divide into two groups to make two catapults on the spot. Ma Jun didn't know why Wang Hao did this, but he still vacated a space for Wang Hao.

Under Wang Hao's personal supervision, the two catapults were completed within two days. Wang Hao had been in the workshop for the past two days, witnessed the entire production process with his own eyes, and roughly understood the production process.

Wang Hao: "Everyone has worked hard for the past two days. Everyone has a half-day rest in the afternoon. Tomorrow, Master Zhang will be in charge... Blacksmith Li will be in charge... Master Zhao will be in charge... other apprentices will be in charge. Here, ordinary workers in the workshop can do it.

I need each of you to lead ten people to make fifty catapults within two days, I wonder if you have the confidence..."

Hearing Wang Hao's words, the masters who were drawn out to make the catapult all frowned and had deep faces. Wang Hao seemed to be a little too strong.

30 people made two catapults in two and a half days. They have already tried their best. Now it has expanded to 300 people to make together, and the eighth floor is made of novices and apprentices. Wang Hao also wants them to make [-] catapults in two days. The craftsman thought it would be difficult to build even twenty units.

But Wang Hao is the master, how can they do what they can do, a master and an apprentice led seven or eight novices, each started to work on the tasks assigned by Wang Hao, the first day was so-so, many novices needed teaching ability make.

Master Zhang: "Old Li, hurry up..."

Master Li: "Old Zhao, this old guy is very fast. I'm almost done here..."

Master Zhao: "It's incredible..."

It took only half a day the next day, and the preparatory work such as planing wood and ordering frames was basically completed. The frames of fifty catapults were already in front of everyone. As long as they were installed and debugged in the afternoon, they would probably be completed in the evening.

Ma Jun knew the news when the frame was made, and he stayed here to watch all morning. He couldn't believe it. It took only two days for 300 people to make fifty catapults. Right now, he had to accept it.

Ma Jun: "My lord is truly a god!"

Wang Hao: "Master Ma, there is no need to flatter me, Wang Hao. This production method is actually very simple. It is called assembly line production."
