Chapter 203: Shipyard
Sairon Island, shipyard.
The shipyard is one of the legacy left by the two former lords, and it is also the only facility they managed with care. The other two are their respective vaults, which is a matter of course for this group of pirates.
Because there is no good ship, you can't catch up with a merchant ship, you can't use a strong, let alone a gangster.
Therefore, although the two former lords were extremely ignorant and shockingly greedy, they also knew that they had to run the shipyard well.
The shipyard is located in a fjord on the southwest side of Sailon Island. The geographical position is very good. The average water depth in the fjord is more than 20 meters, which can be called a natural harbor.
There are mountains on both sides of the fjord, but there is a gap of nearly 10 kilometers wide in the southwest corner, which can enter and leave the fjord by land.
This kind of terrain is extremely beneficial for safety.
Even if there is a medium or large storm in the storm sea area, after the waves are cut once by the reef group outside the archipelago, they will be cut again by the fjord, and even small waves of 1 meter high in the fjord will not appear.
But when there is a storm, not only the waves, but also the squally winds sweeping across the islands, it is particularly threatening to buildings. How to resist strong winds?
The ring of mountains and forests around the fjord can be effective at this time. The storm is tightly blocked by them. It is no exaggeration to describe the interior of the fjord with the word "calm and calm."
The main facilities of the shipyard include a dry dock and a large hardwood drying plant.
There is also a pile of backward wood processing tools, which are similar to the craftsman's "juggling" tools, but in the eyes of a certain mechanical dog lord, they are useless garbage and heretics!
Heresy must die!
So Lord Lord gave an order, and his "dogleg" Ronald took a group of people, looting these tools like wolves, and destroyed them all.
In addition to "defending the faith", Renault's purpose was also to "spread the faith". To be precise, it was to persecute the "infidels", that is, to "convert" the shipbuilders.
Only machines are allowed on this master’s site!
Renault’s “remoulding of heretics” is actually quite gentle. On the one hand, because these craftsmen are the most important asset of the shipyard, it’s wrong to destroy property at will, isn’t it?
On the other hand, they are also the leaders of the territory. As a benevolent lord, as long as the leaders do not commit crimes, the lord is always very lenient.
Lord Lord provides craftsmen with a large number of magic machines, including but not limited to magic wood sawing machines, magic wood planers, magic wood milling machines, magic wood lathes, magic wood drilling machines, and a number of magic hand drills .
At the request of the lord, the Rune Research Institute also specially selected several magicians to train craftsmen, and taught them how to use these advanced machines.
Take the magic woodworking planer as an example. Put the wood plank cut by the sawing machine on the workbench. The magic motive drives the planer to rotate at a high speed, while the other magic motive drives the planer to slowly feed the planer.
In just 1 minute, the planer can process a 2-meter-long wooden board, and the surface of the wooden board is incredibly flat, with no unevenness in sight.
Even the most skilled craftsmen can't do this. Not only the flatness is obviously inferior, but the processing efficiency is beyond the dust. It takes at least half an hour for the planer to complete the work in 1 minute.
Another example is woodworking drilling machine, whether it is processing through holes or blind holes, the efficiency is equally amazing.
Only need to align the parts, replace the appropriate drill bit according to the hole diameter, and then activate the rune array, between the sawdust flying, the drilling can be completed in 10 seconds at most, and the hole wall halo has extremely high roundness, and it is definitely not manual drilling. comparable.
Such a powerful and awesome machine, of course, who uses it, who knows it, and who uses it, who says it is good!
Renault has personally operated woodworking machines. He deeply agrees with this. Most rune magicians have also used them. They are also willing to raise their hands and feet to support this point of view. Others who have seen the processing process also speak from their hearts. Dumped for woodworking machines.
However, the Lord Lord was extremely surprised that the heresy transformation operation did not go smoothly as expected, and there were different voices from the shipbuilders.
The shipyard is under the Department of Navigation, and the director is Elon. When Renault heard this from Elon, he was a little confused at first.
Woodworking machines are specially developed and manufactured for you. Is it not good to save effort?
Is it better to work more efficiently?
Doing well and fast means more rest time. Isn't that bad?
However, there are indeed craftsmen who say that it is not good, and there is more than one person. These people seem to prefer traditional woodworking tools and processing methods, but have a great resistance to machines.
In the process of speaking, Elon mentioned one more point. The age of the opposition craftsmen is generally too old, and Reynolds suddenly came across.
This is not difficult to understand. When you see the craftsmanship you are proud of, the “superior” craftsmanship praised by your colleagues and admired by apprentices, you will naturally feel a sense of loss when you are not in front of the machine. A strong anger.
Can you not be angry?
The hard training of the first half of his life has been practiced on the dog, and the skills that he has trained so hard are completely abolished overnight, of course, he will feel resentful.
But no one dared to make the idea of a machine, for example, like the workers of the earth in the 19th century, launch a movement to destroy the machine.
Because the concept of superiority and inferiority in the alien world has penetrated into everyone's bones, the majesty of the superior cannot be offended, and the property is even more inviolable. All the machines are the private property of the lord. Do you dare to try?
In addition, in addition to the issue of dignity, there is also a more serious issue-interest.
In accordance with the usual practice of handicraft practitioners, value has always been directly linked to craftsmanship. The better the craftsmanship, the greater the value and the higher the salary.
But the emergence of woodworking machines greatly reduced the value of craftsmanship, and seriously violated the interests of the opposition.
Can they not worry? Can you not worry?
Therefore, this is essentially a matter of interest.
Thus, hostility arises.
This is a very normal thing. Whether it is on the earth or another world, there will be winners and losers in any change.
In the transformation of the shipbuilding industry, this group of craftsmen is a typical frustrated.
After understanding the real reason, Renault gave Elon full power to deal with the matter, and he casually dropped the sentence "Promote others, clean up the leader", patted his **** and left.
The master is busy with things, so he doesn't bother to care about these trivial matters. A few local turtle artisans actually want to resist the tide of the times.
Hum, the heresy who is unwilling to "convert" must have no good end.
Elon is so sophisticated, and there is no shortage of means and thoughts. Renault believes that he will carry out the Lord's will to the full.
What's more, Renault has already pointed out the "points"-"promote others"!
Where there are humans, there will be disputes. Since there are frustrated people, there will also be corresponding gainers.
If not, then foster a few people who take the initiative to embrace the change. In order to protect their own interests, they do not need to order, and these people will take the initiative to squeeze out the frustrated.
As for the craftsmen who take the lead, driving out of the shipyard directly is the most basic method. There will be more methods in the future. If you dare to disobey the Lord's will, you will naturally have to pay a heavy price.
In this way, you can kill the chicken to show the monkey and frighten other people. It is also in line with the principle of a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other. Second, it can also control the turbulence to a minimum.
After all, the shipbuilding industry is a heavy industry, and it has very high requirements for experience. It is not a matter of recruiting individuals on the street and training for a few days. The experience of opposition craftsmen is still very valuable.
At this time in the dock of the shipyard, a large wooden ship with a length of more than 55 meters is lying in the middle of the dock. This is a semi-finished ship with only an open hull and no decking.
This is the unfinished Haichao.
There are many scaffolding built around the hull, and there is a huge gantry crane above it.
At this time, craftsmen, workers, staff of the Department of Navigation, and members of the island guard were standing near the hull.
