Chapter 119: The First Day of the Study Tour (1)
The factory area of Wende City is not in the city, the original factory was a paper mill, and a lot of production needs water, so the factory area was built on the riverside.
The factory area is not open to boats, and no boats are allowed to pass through that section of the river, but since the tributary leads to the Black Forest and is located downstream, no one tries to force it through.
The Storm Leader had set up two checkpoints on either side of the river, and only the ships of the pass could pass through there, and no one else could pass through that section of the river.
If you want to enter the factory area, you can only use the land route, and on the land route, there are also checkpoints.
At least until now, the factory area is still an important area of Wende City, although it is not far from Wende City, only ten minutes by horse-drawn carriage can be reached, but except for the workers, not many people will go to the factory area.
Because the factory area is really boring, there is nothing else there except the factory, and the manufacturing process is not so easy to learn secretly, because there are patrols, it is easy to be discovered, so basically not many people will go to the factory area.
There are several 'public carriages' to pick up and drop off workers in the factory area, but if the workers miss the public carriage, they can only walk to the factory area on their own, otherwise they will be deducted from their wages if they are absent or late.
Because there is nothing forbidden in the factory area, just asking the workers not to talk about the manufacturing process, so many people in Wende City know what the factory area is like, and not many people will be curious about the factory area.
The workers are all divided into labor, even if they tell the method of manufacturing the process, it is nothing, the core process is still in the hands of the maid, but she doesn't want to be so troublesome, so there is such a rule.
Because of this regulation, the process of making things in the factory area has not been revealed until now.
The maid was pleased with this, for there were no ungrateful people among the workers of the current factory in Windcity.
Of course, it is also possible that they are afraid of the power of the lord's family and do not dare to make any small moves, although they also know that their lord and the maid are very merciful, but even if they are merciful, they will not be merciful to the traitor.
To sum up, it was only the first time that outsiders had entered the factory area of Wende City, and without the leadership of Cervantes, the clergy from the study group of Lorandal would not have been able to enter.
The stone fence blocked Bishop Pelonandi's view, and he could not see what was behind the wall.
By now, he has basically calmed down, and most of them, except for some young people, have calmed down.
Now they have a new view of Cervantes' 'extravagance' and his relaxed attitude – perhaps it is not a waste for him.
On the way, Bishop Holt also explained something to Bishop Pelonandi, just like when he found something like 'toilet paper' in the toilet last night, which may be a waste in the eyes of outsiders, and in the eyes of Cervantes, the lord of the black dragon, it may not really be a big deal.
Not because of who he is, but because 'it's really nothing'!
Because the time is close to noon, some workers who work more diligently have already completed the morning's work, according to the regulations, if the workers on a production line have completed their work in advance, they can take a lunch break for half an hour in advance.
Some people were sitting in the factory resting, while others were sitting in the doorway, squinting and blowing the cool breeze.
The people of the study group looked left and right, and neither Cervantes nor the patrols stopped them, because they could not see anything either.
Cervantes led them all the way to the door of the paper mill, and after entering was a spacious courtyard where the paper was dried.
Behind the courtyard is a large factory, in order to meet the growing demand for paper, the paper mill has recently recruited many new workers, who saw Cervantes and hurriedly stopped their work and saluted Cervantes.
"Hello Lord!"
Unlike the new employees, the old employees did not stop working when they saw Cervantes, but greeted him and continued to work.
Seeing the postures of the old employees, the new employees suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
Cervantes waved his hand, "It's okay, you guys keep working, I'm bringing people here this time, you do yours, we'll watch ours." ”
"Thank you, Lordship, thank you, Your Lordship......" The new employees were pardoned and resumed their work.
But this time, they felt uncomfortable, stared at by a group of people, as if they were on their backs, and even the work at hand was a little slower.
Sometimes, the maid will also lead a team to inspect the factory, so the old employees have long been used to it, but these new employees are different, they are too nervous.
The papermaking process of the Sad Wind Collar has been improved several times, and what was released before was only the initial technology, which cannot be compared with the current technology at all.
The paper towels in the reception room are prototypes, and although they can still be used, they cannot be mass-produced for the time being.
After entering the Black Forest, they explored eastward, they found a bamboo forest, and now a valley more than ten miles away from Wende City has secretly built a cash crop planting base, and the maid hired a few druids in the official name to let them try to improve the seeds of those cash crops, so far, the seeds of bamboo, mulberry hemp, jute and other crops have been improved, and have entered the trial stage.
There are too many trees cut down on the outskirts of the Black Forest, because if you want to develop further, you must first create an area where it is difficult for wild animals to survive, otherwise if wild animals can enter and leave the settlement at will, monsters and monsters will follow.
The felled wood is processed in Overwatch and then transported to the factory area outside of Wynde for further processing.
Either it is made into furniture or paper, and furniture factories and paper mills basically don't need to think about raw materials.
"It's freshly made paper!"
Cervantes pointed to a pile of dried new paper and said to the priests: "Although I don't know if this paper has been brought to the Sloh continent, but this is paper made by the latest technology, you can touch it, compared to papyrus and parchment, the biggest feature of this paper is that it has a large output and low cost. ”
The young people didn't move, and Bishop Pelonandi and Bishop Holt touched it curiously, and it seemed to be a little rough.
"When you see these papers, you must have understood. Cervantes pointed inside, "This factory can produce thousands of sheets of paper every day, and what you see at the moment is only what has not been processed, and it will have to be processed and cut before it can be put into use." This paper mill does not only produce this kind of paper, but now you only see paper for writing and 'printing', and other paper for painting, cleaning, etc. ”
"The production process needs to be kept secret for the time being, so I can't take you in to see it, you can see it freely here, and soon it's time for lunch break, and if the workers agree, you can ask them some questions, and they know more about these things than I do. ”
Bishop Pelonandi couldn't help but look at Cervantes a few more times.
He felt that he had changed his head in front of him, and Cervantes just now not only introduced seriously but also did not pretend to understand, which directly showed his lack of knowledge in this area.
In his mind, the black dragon should be arrogant, just as he had shown disdain and contempt for them on the first day after they arrived at the Storm of Sorrow.
This black dragon is not only not evil but also very sensible, and even makes Bishop Pelonandi a little suspicious of whether he is a five-colored dragon.
Generally speaking, aren't the five-colored dragons close to beasts in their thinking and acting according to their instincts?
But now, Cervantes gave him the impression of being more like a metal dragon.
This made him a little puzzled, is this black dragon's personality so changeable?
