Chapter 119 That's called an assembly line

Chapter 119 That's called assembly line

The Flying Fire Sky Beast is really a smart and good horse. It runs very fast, although it is a little unstable. Shu Yuer guessed that it might be because of its temperament, otherwise why would it look like this when it runs.

"Yu'er, should we go to see the industry first, or go back to the castle first. But there were almost no people there before dinner. Everyone was very busy!"

At this time, Shu Yuer, who was sitting in front, let Zhao Fubo behind her hold her waist. Her whole body was as soft as if she had lost all her strength and could only lean on Zhao Fubo's broad shoulders.

"Where to go? You have the final say!"

At this moment, Shu Yuer didn't have a little bit of the usual little hot girl. Although it was the second time she was held by Zhao Fubo, this was the first time in such an occasion. Although everyone on the island is so busy, almost everyone runs to do things.

At this time, her heart was confused, as if she was extremely tired, leaning against Zhao Fubo's arms, so comfortable that she almost didn't want to open her eyes.

"Okay, let's go and see the shipbuilding place first. I think you must be surprised. It's only a few dozen days, so why can we build so many ships!"

Zhao Fubo's words were a bit proud. Obviously, shipbuilding is no longer a great problem for Ferai Island. At least if it is built, that's it.

The Flying Fire Sky Beast ran to a small bay in just a few minutes. In a large construction site surrounded by a wall on the beach, what Shu Yuer saw almost immediately made her forget her shyness.

The windmill mounted on a high wooden tower drives a long iron piece, rotating around the two axes. One side of the iron piece is shining with a light like a star. Although there is not much research on weapons, Shu Yuer still recognizes it at a glance. It is what the craftsmen in Huangsha City call iron.

"Did you see it? It's called a band saw. It was originally called a wind band saw, but everything on us was brought by the sea breeze, so it's called a band saw."

The long wood with bark was easily broken into wooden boards under the saw teeth of the band saw. Through some rolling rollers, it was transferred to the second equipment.

The second equipment only has a low platform. There is a small piece of iron rotating rapidly on it, which looks like it is made of iron. The excess part of the wooden board is cut off there and becomes some thick and thick embryos.

"Send it to deal with!"

"Treat, Erlang, how do you deal with wood!"

Zhao Fubo, who was sitting behind her, was obviously concerned about his career at this moment. Even his hand holding Shu Yuer's waist did not take the opportunity to move.

"Well, I don't think you're willing to watch it. Simply put, we have to go through the steaming, drying, and soaking process, and there is a little...a bit smelly!"

Maybe the girls' families love to be clean, so Shu Yuer didn't quarrel about going there. And the subsequent shipbuilding scene completely attracted her.

It can be seen that Felekie has brought many old fishing boats, some of which are broken, and some have ready-made hulls.

The slaves surrounded these broken ships and replaced the damaged areas on them with wooden boards. The difference was that Shu Yuer could not recognize any of the woods at all because they were all soaked in oil and turned black.

In fact, it is just wood that has been boiled with oil, which is even less likely to decay if used for shipbuilding. Of course, such wood also has disadvantages, and is probably a bit flammable.

All of these broken ships are placed on some rollers in the shape of "v". Once repaired, the broken ship will follow some "roads" composed of rollers and are pushed to the scaffolding on the coast.

On both sides of this long "road" grown by rollers, there are piles of people. Whenever the boat passes by, they always have to tinker with something on the boat.

For example, after the most basic repair was completed, the next wave of people drilled it by hand and drilled holes in the wood on the thicker side of the boat.

The subsequent process is as follows: brushing glue and fixing the wooden boards on the surface of the ships with rivets. The original cabin is completely sealed. The people behind them carry out sealing. When these bad ships from the past arrive under the scaffolding, Shu Yuer was surprised to find that the superstructure on it was like the Wind and Break the Waves had been completed, and just take the lower part of the entire ship to connect the upper and lower parts.

"No wonder you have several ships in just a few dozen days!"

When Zhao Fubo, who was sitting behind her, replied, Shu Yuer understood that things were not as simple as they seemed.

"It's not all that. When building the first ship, almost everyone on our island took action. According to the process, Teacher Martin designed and linked each part of the tasks together. They were called assembly lines!

Because each part of the people do only one thing, and according to what the teacher says, they will become more and more proficient in doing things, and the quality and speed will be faster.

The ship has not finished its journey to this level, and we will also need to install control systems such as sails, rudders, etc. It will take a few days for those things. However, this type of ship that is modified with an old ship will soon be discontinued. We will soon have a brand new ship designed by ourselves!"

Shu Yuer has not been surprised yet. She will be more surprised when she sees what she sees below. There are small workshops related to shipbuilding everywhere, or it should be called factories.

In the ship nail factory, Zhao Fubo and his team used coal to heat it. The red ship nails were thickly blocked with wind-powered hammers in the steel mold and hit it into a standard shape after a few strokes.

In the sailing rope factory, women use two white fibers to twist into ropes with hemp.

In a canvas factory, a newer canvas is made of cotton thread, silk thread and another white fiber.

"Yu'er, have you seen that white fiber that is lighter than the color of silk thread? That was what Teacher Martin thought of. You probably won't believe that after the glass becomes such thin silk, it is stronger than the iron thread!"

After just looking around at the beach, Shu Yuer felt that her head was not enough. She could not figure it out. If the glass that broke when it was knocked into this shape, it would be stronger than the iron wire.

While she was still surprised, Zhao Fubo leaned into her ear and said softly.

"Yu'er, remember that everything here is absolutely confidential to people outside. People on our island generally do not let them leave easily. Do you understand except us?"

Although Shu Yuer had already understood what Zhao Fubo needed her to keep it secret at this time, she turned red and gently slapped Zhao Fubo's back of the hand.

"Hey, you haven't seen each other for a few days, but you've learned a lot!"

Yes, Zhao Fubo has indeed learned bad things!

Because his hand had moved a lot from Shu Yuer's waist at this time. Even when the Flying Fire Sky Beast ran up, Zhao Fubo's hand could feel a heavy touch.

"Well, this...this...I'll take you to see our brick making yard!"

When she got there, Shu Yuer had experience in building ship assembly lines, and she was not so surprised here. However, she found that as long as this thing was on the assembly line, the manufacturing speed was really fast.

Outside the large cellars with black smoke were long conveyor belts made of leather or canvas, and bricks ran towards those brick cellars with big mouths. The conveyor belt was driven by four cows, a large cross-shaped wooden frame, which was connected to the conveyor belt to provide power.

There was also a large wooden barrel, which was also driven by a cow, and was rotating. Some slaves were putting clay and other materials in it, and buckets of water were added to it. When Zhao Fubo urged the horse to pass by, he saw that the clay inside the barrel was fixed on the wooden rack evenly.

In fact, this thing is a bit like a mixer or dough machine we have seen. The kneaded clay is spread on a large plate. It is then pressed into a solid and neat flat plate by a huge roller, and then cut into bricks with a metal grid one by one.

It can be seen that the manufacturing speed of bricks is much faster than the burning and kowtowing speed.

The warehouse that stores wet bricks is a rectangular house made of canvas. One end of the warehouse is a wind supply equipment driven by a windmill. The windmill causes the air to flow and speeds up the drying speed of the bricks.

After seeing the external industry, the distant castle that was also constantly emitting black smoke appeared in front of Shu Yuer.

Outside the castle, there are some places such as horse wings, sugar factories, etc., which Shu Yuer would not go to see.

In a month, two castles had been built separately. On the wasteland of the Island of Felekai, two castles, one black and one white, rose from the ground.

The castle with black exterior walls stands at its top, and it is constantly sucking black smoke into the air. This does not affect the slaves who are unable to hold construction outside the castle.

Under the tall scaffolding, there was a gradually growing piece of things that were splicing together using some large pieces of stone. In short, in the short time that Shu Yuer's eyes could see, those people had built a small wall. It took only a few days to see the appearance, and there would be a third "workshop" on the black castle.

The castle with the same exterior wall is also erected under the white castle, which seems to be the second level under construction, which is a smaller circle than the black castle.

"With the cement board designed by Teacher Martin, we built the castle very quickly. That white castle is where we live. When I get there, my good Yuer, you will know how wonderful life looks."

Zhao Fubo pointed at the white castle with his finger. Shu Yuer's careful observation also made her notice that the castles were facing outwards, with no windows at all. Shu Yuer suspected that if this were the case, would such a castle really be comfortable to live in?
