Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony

In the early morning of August 1st in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, Kong Ming, and Liu Qianhui bid farewell to the naval fleet heading to the Jilihou Kingdom for raids and harassment operations at the Reef Chain Naval Military Base.

Afterwards, Qu Mao, Kong Ming, and Liu Qianhui discussed the issue of logistics supplies after the navy went to war, and decided to go to Jidao Military Factory together to find Xuande, to see the production situation of Jidao Military Factory under Xuande's management, and to visit Qu How is the lathe invented by Mao and Kong Ming applied?

At the dinner welcoming Qu Mao the night before, Sylvia Ocean made it clear to Qu Mao that the navy will maintain a scale of about 1,000 warships for a long time to carry out raids and harassment operations on the coastline of the Marquis of Jili, even if one warship fights for a day Only 100 arrows were shot, and that would add up to 100,000 a day. The logistics and production could not keep up. At the end of the year, there would be no need to fight on the mainland. What would we do without arrows?

The Holy Land of Yicheng territory, Green Island, Bo Island, Gan Island, and Lian Island have many military factories. There may be more than 20 in total, but Ji Island has more. Since Xuande suggested to Qu Mao that Ji Island should be used as Yi City After the territorial military industrial base, more than 50 military factories were built in Jidao successively.

After Qu Mao sent Sylvia Ocean and his naval fleet away, he naturally went to Jidao to personally urge Xuande to speed up the production of shipborne ballista arrows. Continental combat reserves of strategic materials.

After Xuande learned that Qu Mao, Kong Ming, and Liu Qianhui were going to Jidao Military Factory to supervise production, he rushed to Jidao Nangang early to wait.

Qu Mao took Kong Ming and Liu Qianhui off the boat and saw Xuande. Qu Mao didn't say anything polite, and asked directly: "Xuande, how is the production situation in the military factory now?"

Xuande said respectfully: "My lord, after the return of my subordinates, all the military factories are starting up their production capacity to produce arrows for ship-mounted ballistas.

At present, workers work 12 hours a day, and the Holy Land can produce a total of 90,000 finished arrows, and the main continent can produce about 20,000 arrows.

Before Lord Sylvia set out, the navy had already taken away 900,000 ship-borne ballista arrows from various military factories. The difficulty now is that the army, which is conducting exploration and raid missions in the underground world of the Holy Land, has also proposed bows and arrows and the need for crossbow arrows..."

Qu Mao sighed, and said: "This production capacity is simply not enough, Sylvia shoots almost 300,000 arrows from ship-mounted ballistas a day.

This production capacity is not enough to meet the needs of Sylvia's current operations, let alone the army's combat reserves of arrows and crossbows at the end of the year. "

Xuande said: "My lord, my subordinates are also aware of this problem, so as soon as they came back, they built two more military factories in Jidao, specializing in the production of arrows.

There are still a few days before it can be put into production. Even if the current production capacity cannot meet Sylvia Ocean's war needs, she can only use 1 million arrows for a few days.

After the two new military factories are put into operation, they will also have to produce arrows and crossbows for the army, and the exploration and strategy of the underground world cannot be delayed. "

Kong Ming frowned and said: "It won't work like this, my lord. I think Jidao will build at least five more military factories at the same time, and each of Gandao, Bodao, Green Island and Liandao will build a new military factory. The nine military factories built After finishing, he devoted himself to the production of arrows and crossbow bolts needed by the army.

There is still nearly four months of preparation time for the Main Continental War launched at the end of the year, so there is no need to panic for the time being. "

Xuande smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Kong Ming, we naturally have no shortage of resources to build the military factory, but it doesn't mean that after the military factory is built, skilled craftsmen will be sent there immediately. The training of workers will take at least a month."

Qu Mao asked: "Damn it! Xuande, what about the lathe that Kong Ming and I invented at the Institute of Power Research on Outlying Islands? Why hasn't it been used yet?"

Xuande said: "My lord, the current production efficiency of the military factory is too low. You and Master Kong Ming are researching machines to improve efficiency, and your subordinates are also very excited. After getting the news, they immediately sent people to carry the machines. I started dismantling the lathe over there early in the morning, and only set off from the outlying island reservoir village at night.

It is already on the way back to Ji Island, but it is estimated that it will not be delivered to the military factory until tonight. When it will be finished, the subordinates still don't know.

That lathe is indeed a bit bulky. "

Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Well, Xuande, your opinion is solid, let Kong Ming help you install it later.

Or simply don't affect the normal production of the existing military factory, Kong Ming installs the lathe in a newly built military factory.

Xuande, build another 6 military factories in Jidao, and build another military factory in each of the four southern industrial base islands. Don’t worry about skilled craftsmen. We have at least 70 military factories in the Holy Land, and one military factory produces 10 people. There are 700 people on the side, and they are assigned to 10 new military factories. Each factory has at least 70 skilled workers, so it is not a big problem to bring newbies.

The big deal is that the quality of early production is unstable and the production capacity is low. "

Kong Ming said: "Yes, my lord, such a huge lathe equipment can only double the production efficiency of military factories at present, so we should set aside a new factory for optimization experiments.

My lord, the data you described to your subordinates can at least increase the production efficiency by 50 times. Based on the current daily production capacity of 90,000, the fifty-fold increase is 4.5 million, which is completely sufficient. "

Qu Mao said: "The actual efficiency should be increased by more than 50 times, but we are in the era of cold weapons after all, and I can't guarantee it.

The problem is that we have too many production capacity defects, and we simply don't have enough time to research and optimize.

Otherwise, thermal power and electric power can be considered. The lathe driven by these powers uses less manpower and is more efficient. "

Liu Qianhui pursed her lips and said, "Come on, Qu Mao, it took a lot of effort to set up a windmill. Let's talk about that later, and get the production of strategic materials done first."

Qu Mao said: "Well, Kong Ming, you should stay in Jidao for a while, and send some carpenters and blacksmith technicians from around the reservoir village to help us produce lathe parts.

Twice the production efficiency is also improved, so don't wait for optimization before laying a large number of lathes, lay them while producing, improve if you have inspiration, and continue laying if you have no inspiration.

One million arrows is not enough for Silvia to fight for a week. "

Kong Ming said: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand, please rest assured, my lord."

After Qu Mao made arrangements for Kong Ming and Xuande, he did not stay in Ji Island, but took Liu Qianhui back to the lord's cottage on Yidao. Su Qiaoer is now building windmills on Liandao and Kongdao, and the lord's hut is unattended.
