This week, Bianfeng Town has been quite peaceful.
According to Iron Axe and Brian, the strength and number of evil beasts will gradually increase as the Demon Moon continues.
Taking advantage of the lack of defensive pressure at the moment, Roland sent a sloop full of ore to Liuye Town again.
As the steam first machine was put into use in the North Slope Mine, the number of workers dropped by half, while the output was steadily increasing, and now it has returned to the level before the landslide.
With the work of machines, manpower has been greatly saved.
At the same time, Roland made preliminary reforms to the mining area production system, changing from the original fixed salary to the floating salary based on quantity.
He asked Barov to count the average daily output in the previous few years, set it as the standard, and you can get an extra reward for each increase in production, and there are additional rewards for discovering gem veins.
This measure effectively promoted the enthusiasm of workers for production, and the entire mining area was in full swing.
With Yu Min in hand, Roland naturally wanted to do something.
In addition to including Steam No. 2 in the production plan, he also plans to manufacture a batch of manual machine tools.
Machine tools have a long history. In layman's terms, it is essentially a tool table for processing tools.Therefore, the anvil can be regarded as the most primitive machine tool manual fixation and hand-crafted.
It’s okay to make it by hand, but manual fixing is too inconvenient, so people add snaps or grooves to the table to fix the parts to be processed.
For example, the barrels of early combs and flintlocks were all hand-knocked on grooved anvils.
Later, the need for machining could no longer meet the needs of processing by manpower alone, and the machine tools were differentiated. According to different uses, different fixing methods and processing tools were used, and manual and machinery were linked, effectively improving the disadvantage of different magnitudes of pure manual force output each time.
Roland was considering manual milling machines.
Although the milling machine has various functions, it mainly aims to process involute gears, so its structure can be simplified accordingly, with only a pair of slots used to fix the gear discs and a rotatable steel millstone.
With the help of Anna, the specific grinding disc can be easily made and polished into a ladder shape and heated to a red blazing state. Use iron bars to pull out marks on it, and then immerse them in water for quenching. You can get a custom grinding disc with high stiffness.
After the key problem was solved, Roland immediately recruited Carter and asked him to hire two carpenters to build the base of the milling machine for himself, while Anna continued to make other metal parts in the castle backyard.
It has to be said that with Anna, metal processing becomes as easy as pinching mud, especially after she mastered the collection and release of flames.
Now the first processing of small items is all about pinching them into rough shapes with her hands.
When Roland saw the other party melting the iron ingot into viscous iron liquid and kneading it over and over again, he was very impressed.
Without the witch, these plans in his mind might have been delayed by more than ten years.
Two days later, the first simple milling machine appeared in the backyard.
Roland was not idle during this period, and drawing gears can be regarded as his old career. He designed a set of gear sets for speed regulation and stabilizing the output of the steam engine.
The corresponding gear disc has been molded out, and the milling process can be carried out after the milling machine is assembled.
Gears are not new things. Most mines in this world rely on livestock to pull wooden gears and winch mechanisms to drain water. This time the chief knight finally felt satisfied and had been running around for His Royal Highness so many times. At least this time, he could understand what the other party was going to do.
Roland also asked him to bring three blacksmiths and their respective apprentices to learn how to use milling machines in the yard.He could not operate these machine tools himself every day, so he had to train a group of professional workers.
After everyone respectfully gave their salute, Roland began to demonstrate how to use a milling machine to process the gears.
He didn't mind being a senior fitter in front of everyone.
In fact, there are all kinds of princes in this era, and they have a variety of hobbies. In addition, I have had the reputation of being unconditional before, so there is no pressure to operate the machine tool.
The Chief Knight was responsible for helping him dump warm lard. In an era without engine oil lubrication, it was a waste to replace lard, but it was better than nothing.
The lard is poured onto the grinder and falls into the porcelain basin below and can be used repeatedly.
Roland first carved the tooth segmentation marks on the tooth disc according to the designed angle, and then stood the tooth disc upright and fixed it on the workbench.
Then pull the grinder over the gear plate, align the markings, and press the pedal.
The pedal drives the wooden wheel and transmits power to the grinder shaft through the belt.
Then he held the grinder handle with his hands, gently pulled it down, and the rotating grinder slowly cut into the gear plate at a 90-degree angle.
Since the tooth disc is made of pig iron, while the grinder is quenched steel, cutting out tooth marks is not very laborious.
The scent of lard was filled with the scene, which made the blacksmiths and apprentices who had not tasted the meat for a long time swallow their saliva.
After the demonstration, the contract is signed.
The business in Bianfeng Town is still in its infancy, and there is no way to talk about industry. Whether it is a steam engine or a machine tool, there will be no phenomenon that stores will immediately rush to buy it as soon as it is manufactured.
In this era, most people will not realize the great significance and potential commercial value that these things represent.
So Roland could only take the initiative to promote the use of machinery.
In his contract, he stipulated that the blacksmith shop using milling machines would need to process at least one set of gears per week, and the required materials would be provided by the castle, and the processing fee would be 10 silver dragons.
At the same time, two silver dragons must be paid every week.
Because this set of machine tools is not given to the blacksmith shop for free, but is more similar to renting.
After entering the Month of the Demon, the business of the blacksmith shop also dropped a lot. At this time, there was an opportunity to make money, and it was the order assigned by His Highness the Prince himself, so everyone naturally had no objection.
At the same time, Roland told them that this was just the first milling machine and several will be produced one after another in the future. Those who are interested can apply to the city hall.
Your Highness, why don’t you directly write on the contract that the processing fee is 8 silver dragons?Carter asked in confusion after the blacksmiths left.
Although the numbers of these two are the same, their meanings are not the same. Roland explained that this is probably the first commercial lease contract in Bianfeng Town, and I need to set an industry standard.
The chief knight wiped his forehead, and the fourth prince seemed to start talking nonsense again, but he already had experience in this. As long as he pretended to listen carefully, his prince would continue to explain.
Only with a good beginning can a virtuous cycle be formed.Currently I only need to buy gears, so I provide machine tools, and they pay for them, and the rewards they receive are also hiring remuneration.When other people also have this kind of demand in the future, they will realize that buying a machine tool to produce it themselves will earn much more than the employment rewards. Roland paused. In this way, when facing new things, they can first avoid risks by replacing production, and I can also get rewards through renting, and the subsequent development of new things will be determined by market demand.This is a virtuous cycle.
