Chapter 1196 Steam Engine Production Line
Within the R&D center.
After Geng Zhuzhu finished testing the steam engine for Bai Feng, Bai Feng was very satisfied.
"The next plan is to mass-produce steam engines."
Bai Feng then said to Geng Zhuzhu.
Successfully manufacturing a steam engine is only the first step, and there is still a long way to go.
Geng Zhuzhu nodded when he heard this.
He understood Bai Feng's plan.
In the future, if steam engines are to be used in trains, ships, and hydraulic looms, mass production of steam engines must be ensured.
"So in the R&D center, we need to start building a steam engine production line."
"production line?"
This was the first time Geng Zhuzhu heard this term from Bai Feng.
"Yes, the so-called production line refers to the establishment of an equipment process specifically for the production and assembly of steam engine parts in the factory of the R&D center."
"The main thing is to standardize the production of various steam engine parts to ensure that each part has only slight differences in specifications."
"In this way, we can continuously replace parts on the steam engine."
"To give a simple example, after a steam engine has a damaged component, there are two ways to solve the problem.
The first is to directly replace a new steam engine, and the second is to replace the damaged parts of the steam engine. "
"The existence of the production line is a prerequisite to ensure that parts can be continuously replaced and at the same time ensure the stable operation of the steam engine."
Bai Feng explained the meaning of the production line to Geng Zhuzi in detail.
This is necessary for the future development of the R&D center.
Because various products manufactured by the R&D center will be produced in the production line model in the future.
Bai Feng now wants to help Gengzhu change the previous production model.
A more advanced production model, such as a production line, is used to produce products.
After listening to Bai Feng's explanation, Geng Zhuzi immediately understood why Bai Feng wanted to establish a steam engine production line in the R&D center.
"Okay sir, I will build the production line during the next steam engine manufacturing process!"
Then Geng Zhuzhu said to Bai Feng in a deep voice.
Bai Feng nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. He was very confident in his ability to plow the pillars.
Then Bai Feng continued to say to Geng Zhuzhu:
"Now that the drawings of the steam train have been sorted out, as long as you set up the steam engine production line here, you can start manufacturing the steam train!"
"steam train!"
After hearing this, Geng Zhuzi said excitedly.
Compared with steam engines, steam trains are the carrier that can truly unleash the power of steam engines.
For example, applying a steam engine to a hydraulic loom is just the most rudimentary application.
"Sir, have you brought the drawings of the steam train?"
After hearing about the steam train, Geng Zhuzhu couldn't wait to ask Bai Feng.
He couldn't wait to see what the steam train would look like.
"I haven't had time to bring them over yet. The drawings of the steam train are much more complicated and numerous than those of the steam engine."
After Bai Feng saw Geng Zhuzi's impatient look, he smiled at Geng Zhuzi.
"First implement the steam engine production line, and then consider the steam train. Don't let the steam train affect your status."
After thinking about it, Bai Feng decided not to hand over the steam train drawings to Geng Zhuzhu immediately.
Geng Zhuzi also calmed down after hearing Bai Feng's warning.
What Bai Feng said is indeed very reasonable.
If you really get the drawings of the steam train, you will definitely focus most of your energy on the steam train.
It’s better to listen to Bai Feng and complete the steam engine production line first!
"I understand, sir!"
Then Geng Zhuzi said to Bai Feng in a deep voice.
"Hahaha, that's good!"
"I believe that with your ability, you can successfully build a steam train in only two years at most."
"So we can't rush now and lay the foundation of the R&D center first."
Then Bai Feng encouraged Geng Zhuzhu again.
Afterwards, Bai Feng did not stay at the R&D center for any longer. After giving instructions to cultivate the pillars, he left the R&D center directly.
After leaving the R&D center, Bai Feng did not return directly to the Hou Mansion, but first went to the soap production workshop in the north of the city.
After arriving at the soap production workshop, Bai Feng unexpectedly saw Cao Jie, Diao Chan and Cai Wenji in the workshop.
"Husband?"
"gentlemen?"
Cao Jie, Diao Chan and Cai Wenji also said in surprise after seeing Bai Feng.
They all knew that Bai Feng went to the R&D center today to see the operation of the steam engine.
I didn't expect to see Bai Feng in the soap workshop.
"Why are you all here at the soap workshop?"
Bai Feng asked Cao Jie.
"Didn't my husband say before that he would entrust me with the expansion of the soap production workshop? So I brought Xiaochan and Wenji to conduct soap exercises and inspections."
"This is also to prepare for the establishment of a new soap production workshop later."
Cao Jie replied to Bai Feng with a smile, while Diao Chan and Cai Wenji nodded.
"Hahaha, Jie'er is really attentive, thank you for your hard work Jie'er!"
"Xiaochan and Wenji have also worked hard. They will be rewarded when the new soap workshop is completed!"
Bai Feng said happily to Cao Jie, Diao Chan and Cai Wenji.
Ever since he handed over the soap production workshop and accounts to Cao Jie, Bai Feng really didn't care about the soap production workshop anymore.
Now Cao Jie brought Diao Chan and Cai Wenji to conduct research on the soap production workshop, which surprised and gratified Bai Feng.
Cao Jie and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard Bai Feng say there was a reward.
Regardless of whether there was a reward or not, they all gained achievement and happiness in the construction of the soap workshop.
"Okay, okay, what do you think of the steam engine after seeing it?"
Cao Jie asked Bai Feng with a smile.
Bai Feng also smiled and replied to Cao Jie:
"The steam engine made by Geng Zhuzi in the R&D center is already able to operate normally."
"Before I came back, I asked Geng Zhuzi to hurry up and build the steam engine production line, and gave all the craftsmen in the R&D center a three-day holiday, and rewarded each of them with ten taels of silver."
Cao Jie smiled and said:
"I have already distributed the silver to the R&D center craftsmen who came to the mansion to receive the reward."
"The profit of this soap workshop in one day is enough for you to reward all the craftsmen in the R&D center."
Bai Feng gave Cao Jie a thumbs up:
"Hahaha, Jie'er is really my good wife!"
