Douluo: Reincarnated sea spirit beast, the three generals of Beechburg

Chapter 495 Precursor of Industry Winter

Viscount Lou Gao, this is Lou Gao's current status in the Star Luo Empire. The fief is located in a county near Geng Xin City. The Viscount with real power, as a blacksmith known as a master craftsman on the mainland, relies on Xing Luo's new national policy. Successfully achieved the status of nobility.

In the past, many people looked down on him, especially those soul masters, especially the bishop of the Wuhun Temple stationed in Gengxin City, but many things have changed since then.

Although he is only a viscount, it means he has entered the noble circle of Xingluo. The big nobles may look down on the small nobles, and the old nobles also look down on these new nobles, but this is just the chain of contempt of Xingluo's own nobles.

Internally they have their own prejudices, but externally, the Star Luo nobles are unprecedentedly united, we can look down on our own people, but outsiders cannot.

Lou Gao's Viscount status gave him a lot of confidence in the face of external forces. Among the people who originally had the title of master craftsman, he was the lowest. Everyone is a member of Haotianzong.

Their blacksmith titles are nothing to outsiders, but the status of the Clear Sky School is different. Lou Gao, who has no soul master power to rely on, naturally becomes the lowest-ranking master craftsman.

The empire had tried to win him over in the past, but it was only a false name, so he refused. This time, he exchanged his own strength for real power.

The emergence of the factory has brought about the career reform of the blacksmith group. This is promoted by the current Emperor Xingluo. In the past, as long as you can swing a hammer and strike iron, you can call yourself a blacksmith. Anyone can do it as long as they have a lot of strength.

This has led to a large number of people calling themselves blacksmiths, which has lowered the overall status of blacksmiths.

But it's different now, a more complete assessment mechanism has been formulated, those who can only blacksmith can only call themselves "iron blacksmiths", and only those with certain skills can be called blacksmiths.

There are a large number of products from factories in Gengxin City, but those things are used for dismantling and observation. Lou Gao is the most skilled blacksmith, so he can disassemble the products of the factory, but he has no idea about the core components. No clue.

This troubled him very much, so he always wanted to go to the production space inside the factory to take a look. Xingluo was also very curious about this technology, although the appearance of the factory drove the economy of Farah Province.

But they are very clear that the core technology has always been in the hands of the other party. As long as they want to, those factories will immediately become empty shells, which are useless except for occupying a large area.

But they can't say, I am very interested in your technology, can you teach me?

No matter how you think about this kind of thing, no one will agree to it, but Lou Gao has repeatedly made similar requests, and he has also made some contributions to the empire, so the current Emperor Xingluo tentatively wrote the document.

He didn't have any hope himself, he just dealt with his subjects. Anyway, I did what I had to do, and there was nothing I could do if the other party disagreed.

But he didn't expect that the people at the factory agreed, and they responded very quickly, as if they didn't take it seriously at all.

When the news came out, he also sent someone to notify Lou Gao, and asked him to organize the members he was going to take with him to prepare for a visit. Whether he could learn anything or not was up to Lou Gao himself.

The operation mechanism of the factory has been perfected, but there is a strange situation here. People are stronger than machines. Several technicians in the factory are soul guide bionics. They do things completely according to procedures. For example, the daily maintenance of the machines is poor. Not at all.

In order to prevent major problems, we will stop work for one day every month for maintenance, and there is nothing to cooperate during the maintenance, and the factory will be on holiday together.

Although the basic salary will not be affected, there will be no chance of commission on that day.

Many people who come here are poor and afraid. They are not afraid of hard work, but they are afraid of not having work to do. Some people are not even used to this vacation.

But even if they strongly demanded to work overtime, it would not change the bionic man's mind.

Due to the arrival of Lou Gao and others, the factory decided to suspend work for another day. After all, this is still a factory in the experimental stage. The output is only a drop in the bucket for the entire demand of the Sun Moon Continent, and the shutdown will not affect anything.

After all, they still plan to further expand the production area in the future. It seems that the Sun Moon Continent has no tendency to war in the past ten years, so maintaining the relationship is a very important link.

It just so happened that the bionics were planning to rearrange the structure of the assembly line, and taking an extra day off was not a good thing for these people, so when the "culprit" of the holiday appeared here, Lou Gao felt a lot of strange eyes.

Cutting people's wealth is like killing their parents. If eyes could kill, he might have been pierced by thousands of arrows.

Lou Gao came here contentedly, and then his worldview changed dramatically. He can make those small parts, but because the workmanship is too ingenious, only he and a few personal disciples can do it.

This time he came here with only the four disciples to study the technology, but here, the assembly line started, and the iron ore entered the forge along the assembly line and turned into molten iron, which was cast into iron ingots.

After passing through different machines, a small and precise part is cast.

Learn, learn a ghost!
After seeing the production mode here, Lou Gao suddenly discovered a problem. The emergence of factories is not a good thing for the blacksmith industry, and the current recovery is only temporary.

Although for skilled craftsmen like them, they can seek a higher status by deciphering technology, but those who can do this technology are only one in a million.

For ordinary blacksmiths, that is the harbinger of a cold winter in the industry.

Just now, a set of processes on the production line did not take more than 3 minutes, and let a few skilled blacksmiths do this, not to mention whether they can punch out this finger-sized part, even forging that piece of iron ingot would take half a day , the purity cannot be guaranteed.

But here, just flipping a switch, the good stuff being produced is being sent out in a steady stream.

The transformation plan of Gengxin City needs to be put on the agenda. Although it is impossible for the empire to do this for a long time, with the popularity of these factories, ordinary blacksmiths will lose their jobs sooner or later.

The decline of the blacksmith industry will inevitably become a trend, or in other words, in the era of large-scale industrial production, the gradual decline of the handicraft industry is almost an inevitable trend. Except for some commemorative products, in heavy industry, labor has no slight advantage over machines. Word.

Accuracy, quantity, quality.

This is not something that can be stopped by manpower. If you stop progress, you will be destroyed under the wheel of history.
