I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 219 Are you planning to use our magical treasures to cultivate the land? (seeking subscription)

   Division of labor? Standardized process?

  The two terms mentioned by Lynn made Raphael and the others frowned. They could barely understand what the other party wanted to express, but they couldn't figure out why this allowed three people to make a musket within a month.

   There is no magic, just the grinding and production of the **** and barrel is more than this time.

   "Lydia, if I asked you to teach an ordinary craftsman all the techniques of making guns, how long would it take?" Lynn asked.

   "Maybe seven or eight days? No, at least half a month!" Lydia said hesitantly. If she wants to teach the other party, she must take the production and get familiar with the process.

   Even so, the other party may not be able to quickly learn and make it independently.

  After all, not everyone can be like her, take a look at the blueprint, and reproduce it in the first production.

  Thinking of this, Lydia proudly puffed out her chest.

   "What if, I just need him to learn how to make a scythe or a trigger?" Lynn asked with a smile.

   "Two or three hours at most!" Lydia hesitated for a moment, these two things are not difficult to make, no matter how stupid a craftsman is, he should be able to learn it in three hours.

"Then why don't we just disassemble the various parts of the musket, find a group of people to manufacture the barrel, a group of people to concentrate on making the butt, and then find a group of people to make the parts, and finally splice them together. This is not easy. Is it easy?"

  As Lydia said just now, it takes at least half a month to teach a person to make a whole musket, but it only takes a few hours for them to learn one of the parts, which greatly reduces the difficulty of training a qualified craftsman.

  This is also the concept of modern industry. The work is divided into several steps, and a certain step is completed by some people alone. The finer the division of labor, the higher the level of specialization.

  Using this method can train a group of skilled workers in a very short period of time, because they only need to do one thing a day, and practice makes perfect.

   Is it okay?

  Lydia was stunned, always feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't say it.

   "Wait, Dean Lynn, if the production process is completely separated, what if the produced things cannot be spliced ​​together?" Philip couldn't help asking.

   You must know that there are thousands of craftsmen, and asking them to make different things separately, wouldn’t it make things messy, for example, the barrel made by one person is bigger, and the fire sickle spring made by another person is smaller...

  Don’t look at such a small gap, even if they are put on the musket and spliced ​​together by force, they may face the risk of bombing.

   "That's why we need to standardize and establish relevant standards!" Lynn said again. "For example, for a gun barrel, we specify its length and diameter, and then determine how much error is allowed. Only those that meet this standard are finished products. In this way, anyone who makes a gun barrel can be installed on a gun, and other parts are also Same."

Although it is a bit troublesome at the beginning, the benefits are obvious afterwards. Even if a part of the musket is broken, you can directly find the material to replace it. Each worker will only know the craft he made, avoiding the production method. spread out.

Under Lynn's narration, Philip and the others suddenly realized the advantages of the division of labor and the establishment of relevant standards, and wondered whether such a method could be extended to other places, such as for some alchemy items. make.

"Orlando, let Magic Daily release two news tomorrow. First, Iyeta will build a flintlock workshop and recruit 1,500 workers. Second, I am going to build a musketeer team. The goal is to Three thousand people." Lin En handed back the musket in his hand to Lydia, and said to Orlando beside him.

   Now that the flintlock has been successfully built, it's time to consider building the first musketeers.

"However, Lord Lynn, in this way, we need to recruit another 4,500 people. What about this year's farming and fishing?" Orlando said hesitantly. Including the previous glass, paper and textile workshops, this is already There are tens of thousands of people.

  The entire Iyeta harbor adds up to more than 50,000 people, which means that one fifth of the people will be separated from their original production tasks.

   Not to mention that this is only a preliminary plan. According to this trend, Orlando has no doubt that in a few months, everyone in the city will work for the city lord.

"So during this time, you have to work harder, use internal combustion engine technology, and research several alchemy instruments that can automatically cultivate, sow, and harvest, so that even if most people leave the land, the food production will not be affected." Lin En said confidently that he had already planned this point.

   "Huh?" Orlando was dumbfounded.

  Philip and the others also looked at Lynn with strange expressions.

  The alchemy internal combustion engine is a treasure of magic, but you actually use it to plow the land?

  And if there is an alchemy instrument that can automatically cultivate, sow, and harvest, what do poor people do? I’m afraid it’s not a dream...

  …

  In the evening, in a village not far from the king of [Hadrata], an invisible airship landed silently in a manor.

   This is one of the strongholds William set up outside the capital for the convenience of hoarding and transporting goods.

   After setting up Lauder and the others and telling them not to run around, Cody took only a few confidants and rode into the city alone in a carriage without stopping, and was received very quickly.

  The chunky William was sitting on a large seat in the secret room, his fat face looked a little distorted, and his eyes were all set together.

   "What's going on, Cody? You better not tell me what went wrong with this year's trade..."

William is very clear about the time of leaving and returning to the port. Normally, it takes at least forty days to complete a cross-sea trade. Now, only half a month later, Cody came back, which gave him some Bad guess.

"Reporting to my lord, this year's trade is very smooth. We brought a new batch of goods from Iyeta, which is something called glass and paper." Cody said very excitedly, and then it seemed like As if remembering something, he hurriedly added.

   "By the way, my lord, the person in charge of Iyeta Harbor is an extremely young wizard. It is said that Master Herram has unfortunately died while dealing with a civil strife."

"What did you say? Herram is dead..." William's expression changed, and he stood up directly from his seat, the fat all over his body trembling uninterruptedly, bringing an indescribable feeling pressure.
