Chapter 1290 Achievements

In order to speed up the progress of the research project, Roland slightly adjusted his work and rest time, and after lunch every day, he would sleep in the office for two or three hours, which was equivalent to increasing the number of times he entered the dream world in disguise.

Because of this, the Divine Punishment Warriors that appear in groups after noon have become a great wonder in the castle area.

Thanks to the help of the Grayburg Design Bureau, the new batch of industrial projects have been progressing quite smoothly. By the last week of autumn, the tractor has basically completed the final design.

Before this, all project processes of Wudong were first hand-made by Anna, feasibility was verified and finalized, and then the production parts were divided and delivered to the factory for trial production alone. Finally, the flow plan was determined until it was assembled and formed.

Not only does it take a long time, it is also easy to take detours.

Especially in terms of dividing production parts, since the processing ability of black fire is far superior to any machine tool, the factory may not be able to make the parts that Anna can cut.

With hundreds of parts of a machine, determining which ones can be completed by the factory and which ones must be handed over to Anna for later processing is undoubtedly a huge project.

Only after a finished product is fully assembled can this project enter the mass production stage.

In fact, I suffered in this link when I was producing the second-generation steam engine. Although a pressure valve component seemed simple, it was not until the official mass production that I found that the pass rate was surprisingly low. As a result, the relevant production line was pushed back and the final product was delayed by more than half a month.

The Graycastle Design Bureau is equivalent to completing all the preliminary work for Anna, from testing and shaping to assembly line design, and whether ordinary machine tools can meet the requirements, these processes can be completed directly in the dream world.

Therefore, once the plan is finalized, the Ministry of Industry can organize production immediately, which greatly shortens the R&D cycle and cost of new projects.

Roland named the agricultural machinery that was highly anticipated as the Harvest.

It will inherit the names of five pairs of heavy wheels and cultivate on the land of the grey castle.

Of course, he did not let Master Xie idle. The current harvest number is just a simple chassis. It is not a big problem to hang a plow as a tractor, but it is still a long way from the ultimate form of five pairs of load-bearing wheels.

He hopes to achieve everything the army needs on that chassis.

As for the transmitter, Qingqing quickly recruited several candidates, including fresh graduates and private radio enthusiasts. However, when Roland saw the circuit diagrams, his head swelled, and finally ordered all of them to be changed into physical diagrams to barely tell what was.

Even so, he learned this knowledge very slowly, so he could only forcefully remember the pictures and then slowly ponder them with Anna.

In addition to these two major projects, several other key preparation projects in Wudongcheng have achieved results one after another.

The first is the North and South Arteries Plan.

Hoverde Quinn sent him a letter saying that Chenxi had invested nearly a thousand people and had set up cement calcining plants in two border cities.

These factories can produce hundreds of tons of cement every day to meet the needs of hardening the road surface.

Now the road from Yingfeng to Shanguang River has been basically paved, and the second half of the road in Langshan has also started construction and is expected to be completed in about half a month.

Even with the help of Lian and Morriel, such construction speed is enough to be considered excellent. Obviously, the Quinn family has put a lot of effort into this matter.

In addition to the first completed road to the eastern turning point of Chishui River directly to Yongye City, this means that Wu Dong is only one step away from sending his power from land to a war zone thousands of kilometers away.

The second is the supporting project of the Great Artery Plan, the Hump Steam Truck, the first one, was also launched in the factory.

It adopts a classic flat-head cab, front-mounted engine, single-front and double-six-wheel layout. Except for a slightly longer head (to stuff a huge water tank), its appearance is almost no different from that of later trucks.

The self-weight is about ten tons and the designed load capacity is six tons. It can maintain a stable speed of forty kilometers per hour on flat cement pavement, and drive up to three hundred kilometers in a row.

When necessary, the driver can also fill it with rainwater, well water, and even urine to increase the mileage. Of course, even without any supplies, it is enough to travel between the city and the river.

Unlike armored trains, each truck requires at least two drivers. In other words, even if Wu Dong can immediately build a large number of trucks, there is a huge gap for the driver.

Fortunately, there are already prototypes now. Next, just establish a driving school and quickly train a group of qualified personnel. After all, there are no traffic regulations in this era. As long as the car can be driven, everything else is easy to say.

Finally, there is lead-acid battery.

Although it is inconspicuous and has much lower technical content than the previous major projects, it is not small at all useful.

For example, on trucks, it provides power for vehicle headlights and taillights, which is also the only electrical equipment on the Hump.

With the lights, the truck's driving time instantly expanded from day to night and almost doubled its efficiency.

It is also used to start the biplane, which can save a lot of effort from ground crew members. More importantly, if the engine is turned off in the air, the pilot can directly try to start again, which improves safety in disguise.

In short, relying on the move in by a large number of migrants, Wu Dongcheng's industrial capacity once again broke through the bottleneck and entered a period of rapid rise.

However, Roland also knew that this increase was not entirely due to population. If it was still a workshop-style production, let alone a few months, even in a few years, it would not be possible to train an uninformed layman into a qualified worker.

Here, those experienced old workers are afraid that you will not learn, and are not afraid that you will not learn, because promotion and salary increase have a great relationship with their apprentices. They always look hungry and teach everything.

Ordinary people only need one or two weeks of step-by-step teaching to understand the basic operation of machine tools. Even if a newcomer doesn’t know a word, he can process qualified parts by imitating them according to the steps.

With the new system of applicable productivity, the promotion of popular education, and the emphasis on creation and research and development, the urban industrialization process will only get faster and faster in the future.

But what he got wasn't all good news.

According to the report of Iron Axe, the First Army was under increasing pressure on the front line. With the spreading red fog, the devil could already touch the Changshan area. Some people even said that they had seen the figure of terrifying beasts in the dawn.

When he was in the fertile plain, Roland had known the enemy's tactics of rushing thousands of miles. Although he could mobilize not many troops, even if there were only a few mad demons, he could cause considerable damage to the rear.

And now those scattered terror beasts are likely to be sentries who are exploring the route for the raid.

If the First Army wants to counter this, it must have the same maneuverability as it.

He sighed lightly, maybe it was time to dispatch the Witch Alliance and the Air Knights to the front line.
