Release that Witch Chapter 155: New visitors
Roland obtained the first purchase order since the manufacture of steam engine, and the transaction amount is also the largest so far.
The price of a bare metal machine is 500 gold royal, two of which will be delivered in the first month, and will increase by one each month, for a total of ten. steam engine will need to pay extra gold royal for future technical support, parts replacement, and equipment improvement. As for the excellent qualitative after-sales service and three guarantees commitment, Roland said that it has never heard of it.
Barov is most excited about this transaction. In his opinion, whether it is trade or plunder that can increase revenue for City Hall, it is worthy of praise. Opponents are not absent. Carter, Scroll, and Nightingale have all questioned this matter, thinking that it is too early to sell these powerful machines to outsiders. Now Border Town is not enough by itself.
Roland didn't explain much about this, because he didn't just make a decision from the perspective of feudal lord set off, but stood in the position of an industrialization promoter.
It is almost impossible to promote the industrialization of society on his own, even if he has higher-level knowledge than the times. The digestive capacity of small town is extremely limited. If no manufactured product is purchased, it is no different from scrap iron. We must let more people joining into this change in order to set off a wave of new power applications.
What can he gain by selling steam engine?
Ample money, a large number of jobs, and a group of skilled workers, the latter of which is always the most important.
This is why Roland is driving down production.
After the evolution of Anna ability, production efficiency is no longer the same. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, she can now cut out a dozen steam engine a day.
The sale of such products is just a matter of selling machines.
If you want to drive this industry, you must set up a special team to be responsible for production, assembly and maintenance. In Roland's plan, he only needs to open a factory, prepare production tools, such as boring machines, planers, milling machines, etc., and hand over the production of steam engine to the workers. It can be expected that the factory's early production efficiency must be low, and the product qualification rate is horrible, but slowly, everything will be on track. With the mother bed created by Anna, as long as you are familiar with the operation, the output will inevitably rise.
Next, we will use the profits from selling machines to expand production scale and train more skilled workers. Veteran experienced workers make small town capable of producing higher-level products, such as steam trains, steam ships and so on. No doubt this is a virtuous circle. Those sold steam engine can also indirectly create benefits for themselves. They can be used in mining, which can reduce the price of ore; used in shipping, which can promote trade; and used in textiles, which can make up for their own shortcomings.
Roland can't wait for the rapid popularization of steam power throughout the country as long as these machines are made from Border Town. Once he unifies Greycastle, he can save a lot of time.
He also considered the possibility of the buyer to imitate steam engine, but the new steam engine will use a circular cylinder drilled by a boring machine, plus some deliberately designed complex components. Depending on the current level of technology, I am afraid they will be difficult in a short time. Build a qualified machine, even if you have a high temperature type witch.
I can talk about such a large order, and at the same time find a channel for selling industrial products. It should have been elated, but Roland found that he was not at all happy.
"It's clear outside, why are you still suffering a face?" Nightingale sitting on the desk with her legs up, holding a disc of dried fish in her hand, "still worrying about Church's news?"
When Scroll is absent, Nightingale's behavior will become particularly casual. A corner of the desk and a lounge chair by the wall are her usual places. For other feudal lord, this move is obviously an offense, but Roland knows that she doesn't care, and she also knows this.
"I've always wondered why Church supported me and Garcia to fight for the throne at the same time, and now I probably want to understand. If I guess correctly, I'm afraid that Timothy also received the Church's invitation." He frowned.
In addition to the order, Margery also brought him a lot of Kingdom Capital intelligence. One of the things that surprised Roland was that Church attacked and took over Kingdom of Eternal Winter, and listening to the business woman ’s statement, they seemed to plan more Take a step forward and launch an attack on Kingdom of Wolf Heart. The news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and all the ominous signs that had been hovering in his heart were linked together.
"Support three of you to fight for the king at the same time?"
“It ’s not support, it ’s consumption.” Roland shook his head. “Church does n’t care about the spread of the war to the whole country, or they are happy to see the Greycastle caught in internal fighting. As for churches and believers who are involved in the war, they are not at all Within the scope of concern. Greycastle is not as weak as Eternal Winter, with a vast territory and a large number of personnel. If it is stormed, Judgement Army will also lose most of it. Only after we kill each other can he occupy the Greycastle at the least cost. After that, the believer must There are as many churches as you want. Those pills ... are just traps they prepared carefully.
The struggle for the throne issued by Wimbledon III is equivalent to giving Church an opportunity to operate. If Greycastle, Wolf Heart, and Eternal Winter are successively destroyed, the only Kingdom of Dawn will not exist. The real purpose of Church's is probably to unify Four Great Kingdoms. Considering the slowness of message transmission and the public's indifference to the political situation, it is likely that the other party will come to the door and everyone will wake up.
This is why Roland feels anxious.
The foundation of the united front has not been established in this era. It is foolish to expect Greycastle's noble cross-country assistance. When Church is large and army soldier is near the city, what he can finally rely on is probably Western Region.
"But you also have a new weapon, Judgement Army is not much stronger than the ordinary Knight, I don't think they can win you."
Remember that when Nightingale raised the behemoth Church, there was only a sense of fear. Now it can have such great confidence in itself, which is slightly beyond the expectations of Roland.
He reluctantly smiled, but bottom of heart sighed. It was not difficult for revolving rifle to be produced by Anna. The trial production of a revolving rifle and two revolver pistols, regardless of the trigger reset or automatic revolver, performed very well. But if the bullet firing problem is not resolved, the new weapon will have no practical value. In the absence of situation for mercury thunderate, he must use some alternative materials as a base fire.
I hope the personal guard to Scarlet Water City will bring good news, Roland thinks.
At this moment, she recovered her strength and flew into the office during the daily training of Lightning. She brought an unexpected news. The flag on a dirt **** in the woods on the east side of Border Town was changed to blue. .
According to the connection method agreed in rumor spreading in the Roland secretly, the blue flag means that a new witch is coming. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start casting, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read.)
