Fiona's question has been asked by many people on Earth before.

We already have a carriage, so why do we need a car?

We already have cars, so why do we need trains?

We already have trains, so why do we need planes?

We already have ......

However, from her point of view, it is normal to ask this question, in this country where there are only dirt roads, the performance of the hardened pavement such as the rock road is already very superior - the imperial capital of Alinks is still used stone pavement.

Donne, however, didn't think so.

It took him a lot of effort to make Fiona understand the important role of the road's load-bearing, permeability, durability, corrosion resistance, and friction, although these data can't be seen for the time being, but Don doesn't have that kind of effort to keep an eye on, so he will definitely not be divided into two steps if he can do it in one step!

By the time Fiona figured out what these metrics meant, Don had already climbed onto the paver and filled the body with a bucket of asphalt.

Fiona hurriedly followed.

The asphalt was isolated from the heat by the fire magic array, and soon melted, and after the waste residue from the steel mill was mixed evenly, the paver began to lay the asphalt road forward.

"What a pungent smell!"

Fiona pinched her nose, although the image was very unsightly, she couldn't care so much.

"Oh."

Don nodded, and a gentle whirlwind immediately enveloped Fiona, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, I just found a problem, if these machines are working on the road. If a child breaks in by mistake, it's dangerous......"

"So that's another thing to do."

Tang En said casually: "Before the construction starts, the construction section should be announced in the newspaper in advance. At the same time, training on traffic safety rules began to warn children not to trespass. ”

"Traffic safety rules?"

"Well, that's a lot involved, let me tell you, what do you think I'm paving this asphalt road for?"

"Of course, it's to improve the efficiency of transportation."

“…… Without this, what else do I have to say if you point to the ultimate answer......"

"Well, then please answer my dear lord."

"My pleasure."

Tang En smiled slightly: "The flat asphalt road is naturally not just for running horse-drawn carriages. That would be a waste, and in addition to horse-drawn carriages, magic cars and magic automatics can make the most of this kind of road. ”

"Magic car? …… Yes! I know! ”

Fiona's eyes lit up: "I've heard about it from Klotto and Brian before. They say you've come up with this concept, but they don't know what it means, so do you have to go along with it? ”

"On the one hand."

Don smiled. Stopped the paver. The two got out of the car, and Don said while inspecting the paved asphalt pavement: "In addition to this flat, friction-resistant asphalt road, there is a relatively important material missing, and then the problem of that material needs to be solved." ”

"Oh......"

Fiona seemed to understand, looked at the road, and reached out curiously to touch it: "That's it?" ”

Tang En was startled and grabbed her hand: "Are you stupid?" Dare to touch it even if it's hot, don't want your hands anymore? ”

Fiona's face was slightly red: "I forgot." ”

"Almost. Now it's just a matter of rolling it with a roller and then cooling it naturally. ”

Finally, I tried the roller again. Once it was confirmed that the roller was also working properly, the overall road repair plan was basically formed.

Fiona calculated the cost and almost went crazy: "I was still too conservative in my calculations!" The cost of one square meter is not enough for one gold coin at all, at least fifty more silver coins will be added! ”

"Huh?"

"These machines are more expensive than combines, and they all require standard mana crystals! The larger the amount of work, the faster it will be consumed, and the road repair cost I calculated before did not include these costs! ”

Fiona cried with a sad face: "With these costs, the main roads in the old and new cities alone require nearly 200,000 gold coins!" ”

"Hmm...... Actually, there will be less. ”

"How is that possible!"

"Don't worry, there will be less."

Tang En said with a smile: "With the increase in mining volume, the mining process will continue to improve, and the efficiency will continue to increase, the cost on the side of the asphalt lake is continuing to decline, and it will not be long before our side will export magic energy drills to the Dwarf Kingdom, with the improvement of their mining efficiency, when the ore hoarding is too much, they will definitely need to increase exports, and as their only two partners, the Dwarf Kingdom and our Ellington are their only choice to export ore." ”

"In this way, we can get cheap ore, but the magic energy drilling rig produced is exported at a high price, which can be exchanged not only for the money for mining asphalt ore, but also for metal ore."

"In other words, we just maintained the leading technology, invested a little productivity, and consumed nothing, and we obtained the economic and industrial development of the territory for nothing."

Fiona was stunned when she heard this: "Lord Lord. ”

"Huh?"

"Did you plan this from the beginning? You've already decided from the beginning that you can befriend the dwarves, and the dwarves will accept you, and you've known for a long time that the dwarves are going to take a fancy to the Magic Drill, so you came up with this technique in front of Brian, because you already knew that they were willing to use ore in exchange, and everything was planned by you, didn't you? ”

“……”

A smile flashed in Tang En's eyes, and he smiled, "How is it possible, I'm not a prophet." ”

Fiona breathed a sigh of relief: "...... Also, if everything was planned by you, it would be terrible, and even the dwarves were pitted by you without knowing it, then we ...... Ah, nothing. ”

"Well, that's it, put these three machines here, and then let the guard team come over and be on duty for a while, and start using them as prototype training tomorrow, and I will make the design drawings after I go back, and hand over the body to Brian, and then let Nokia arrange the relevant parts processing."

Speaking of this, Don wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "If we start producing these machines, our factory will have to expand. ”

"Did you just find out?"

Fiona snapped her fingers and said: "Now the mechanical processing plant has to produce air conditioners, refrigerators, water heaters, washing machines, hair dryers, and a while ago, it was concentrated on the production of combine harvesters, and now it has not slowed down, Brian is still preparing to put into production the magic energy drill, if you ...... again It is estimated that the workers in the factory are about to collapse. ”

"Uh...... Well, this month they will give out a bonus of ten gold coins each. ”

"Ten gold coins!?"

Fiona immediately exploded: "You're crazy! Do you know that your mouth is out with tens of thousands of gold coins! ”

Don opened his mouth wide: "Wouldn't it?" We employ so many people? ”

"What do you think!?"

Fiona was on the verge of collapse: "Almost all of Ellington's natives are now working for you, my lord!" Almost all of the adult Ellington residents became employees of the Tang Chamber of Commerce! Even underage children are doing things for us, whether they sell newspapers or grow medicinal herbs, they still belong to your employees in the final analysis. ”

"Huh? No way? ”

Tang En was stunned: "Do we need so many people?" ”

"That's a lot?"

Fiona hated that iron could not become steel: "The caravans sent by the Golden Rose family to various places back then added up to tens of thousands, how many are you?" Even the towns in the territory of the Illus Empire have not been dredged, and there are no large chamber of commerce strongholds, which is too much? ”

"Okay......"

"And I've heard that you're planning to mass-produce standard armor recently? Do you think we can keep up with our current productivity? ”

“……”

Tang En sighed, pondered for a moment, and said: "I was negligent before, since this is the case, in order to avoid chaos in the future, now Ellington's business needs to be rectified and reorganized in advance, you remember." ”

Fiona immediately took out a pen and paper: "Please speak." ”

"From now on, the Ellington Machinery Processing Factory will be split and reorganized into Datang Magic Energy Furniture Factory, Datang Magic Energy Machinery Factory, Datang Military Factory, and Datang Military Magic Energy Machinery Factory-"

"Wait! Your Lord! What is Heavy Magic Machinery Factory? And the Datang Military Factory!? ”

"Listen to me."

Tang En patted her head: "In the future, Datang Magic Energy Furniture Factory will mainly produce magic energy furniture for daily use by civilians, magic energy air conditioners, magic energy refrigerators, magic energy hot water bottles, magic energy water heaters, magic energy washing machines, and magic energy hair dryers all belong to magic energy furniture, and all the magic energy furniture developed in the future will be handed over to the magic energy furniture factory for production, and the confidentiality level of the employees here is average." ”

"Datang Magic Energy Machinery Factory, in the future, will mainly produce agricultural and household light machinery, combine harvesters, magic energy drilling rigs, road leveling machines, pavers, road rollers and the future development of magic energy cars, magic energy automatic vehicles belong to this category, the staff here technical requirements are relatively high, the level of confidentiality is also higher."

"In the future, the main production object of the Datang Military Factory will be armaments, standard swords, standard armor, bows and arrows, crossbows and all upgraded equipment will be produced here, and the level of secrecy will of course be higher."

"Datang Military Magic Energy Machinery Factory, don't register first, it belongs to the classified level for the time being, of course, the confidentiality level here is the highest."

After a pause, Don continued: "In addition, the current Ellington processing plant will also be reorganized into Datang Department Store, which will include a food processing factory, a daily necessities processing factory, a pottery processing factory and a paper factory. ”

"The food processing plant is responsible for the processing and production of mints and subsequent food products, the daily necessities processing plant is responsible for the processing of daily necessities such as soap and hydrosol, the pottery processing plant is responsible for the processing of sanitary ware, kitchenware and ceramic molds, and the paper mill is only responsible for the production of various kinds of paper."

"After the reorganization of the processing plant, the implementation of the staff professional system, the current position of the staff is only responsible for the current position, no longer temporary, while continuing to expand the scale of recruitment, if the displaced people into Ellington are interested in receiving training to participate in the work, can be given a one-month internship period, food and housing, no salary, qualified after hiring."

"And ......" (To be continued.) )
