    Biological modulation is as taboo on the mainland as the Philosopher's Stone. The last time Yang took a risk and committed a foul, he almost attracted the attention of the top forces in the mainland. Even if he and Hong Bai have no taboos, they must consider what this occasion will bring to the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce by asking Wolfo.  It was troublesome, so he just had a brief chat with Wolfor. It was still not possible to talk in depth on this occasion. Anyway, if he could win this manor, he would have plenty of time to study it in the future.  Since everyone is determined to win this manor, a few empty beasts are not considered in their eyes. They have even fought against the Abyss Demon and Beast Fang, and are full of confidence in passing the test.  Since Yang Yang and the others were satisfied with this gift, the head of the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce's Arms Department would certainly not object. His words were filled with enthusiasm and their relationship became much more familiar.  After receiving such a big gift from others, you have to give something in return. Yang was also very wise. He took out a thick plan from the mustard bag and handed it to everyone for circulation. Yang explained that this was his plan for solving the current arms problem.  There were too many orders, and the productivity of the chamber of commerce could not keep up with the demand. Some solutions were thought of. The information was turned around in people's hands, and everyone who had been drunk and drunk suddenly woke up.  Dandelion Chamber of Commerce is the top business organization in mainland China, and being able to become a high-ranking member of it requires more than just flattering people.  In addition to a certain knowledge of business skills, other knowledge about astronomy and geography must be dabbled in, so as to gain a foothold in the fierce business war. Therefore, in the Ministry of Arms, except for Wolford, who was recruited just because of his good relationship with Yang.  In addition to the staff, the others were all elites trained by the Chamber of Commerce for a long time. They were novel and surprised by the ideas in the Yang Plan.  The content inside is actually quite simple, that is, it requires the implementation of mechanized large-scale industrial production and the adoption of standardized processing methods. The core goal is to replace labor with machines.  Standardized processing provides a series of ways to mark the parameters on various arms design drawings with unified weights and measures. The dimensions of most parts must be accurate to the millimeter error.  There are also rigid regulations on parts processing methods, styles, and materials.  This laid the foundation for the next step of mass production of gunpowder weapon parts that are the same size and interchangeable with each other. There is no shortage of skilled craftsmen in this world, but manpower is always limited. Press workers who work overtime cannot compare to the tireless and consistent processing accuracy.  The large machine also leaves more room for upgrades in design, greatly improving labor productivity.  This is not just Yang¡¯s flash of inspiration. Since he wants to start an arms business, Yang must refer to the history of the development of firearms on Earth.  In the hundreds of years after the discovery of firearms, muskets and artillery were at best regarded as some kind of "wonder weapons", but firearms troops did not replace the traditional combat styles of cavalry, infantry and bow troops on a large scale.  The rapid development of gun technology did not begin until after the British Industrial Revolution.  This industrial revolution is a revolution in production and technology that replaces manpower with machines and replaces manual production in individual factories with large-scale factory production.  Since the invention and application of machines became a symbol of this era, historians call this era the "Machine Age".  Without the large-scale use of steam engines, coal and steel, hundreds of thousands of guns and ammunition would never have been manufactured overnight. British soldiers with all firearms would not have been able to defeat ancient civilizations such as China and India and colonize the world.  Become an "empire on which the sun never sets".  Although the French nuclear gunpowder formula that Yang handed over to the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce was of epoch-making significance, he deliberately left it out, resulting in insufficient power of the gunpowder. Here in the Nine Realms, it is not possible to conquer the mainland's native Indians with just one or two smoothbore muskets. Faced with this,  Against opponents with long-range attack power such as magic and martial arts, a small-scale firearms team does not have an advantage. Only an army armed with a large number of guns and cannons can show the power of fire coverage on the battlefield.  What the Dandelion Arms Department is most worried about now is that its production capacity cannot meet the order demand. Many large orders have to be passed on because they are powerless. They are really greedy. Yang's plan is undoubtedly timely. Standardized production of weapon parts is only the first step.  Bu Yang's plan also proposed that the chamber of commerce allocate a special place to build a centralized factory, recruit and train technical workers, set up a quality inspection department, and strictly inspect each weapon before leaving the factory to ensure product quality and reputation, etc.  Many of these production methods have already appeared on the mainland, but this is the first time that they have been classified into categories and explained in a unified manner like Yang's. Everyone can't help but feel refreshed after hearing this.  There were already early factories on the mainland at this time. It was common for textile, printing and dyeing, horse-drawn carriage and other industries to employ a large number of workers. However, there had never been a company like Yang who had thought so carefully from before starting work and needed so many manpower.  Pass.  However, no matter how many people there are, Yang has designed a complete set of industrial mother machines for mass production, which makes everyone in the Ministry of Munitions itchy. In the era of mechanization, if workers have to rely on workers to build parts one by one, firstly, it will not improve efficiency, and secondly, it will not be able to improve efficiency.  Achieve the industrial manufacturing precision required by Yang.  So refining steel?Everyone was dazzled by the design drawings of large stoves, turning, milling, planing, grinding, boring, drilling and other professional machine tools.  Of course, these machines are the core of the "machine age", and Yang has also made magical transformations in accordance with the rules of the Nine Realms.  At present, the world cannot manufacture steam engines and internal combustion engines, but with magical spells, it is not too difficult to make the machines move.  Magic furnaces and energy arrays are common items here. Back then, the goblin empire's alchemy could create things like floating cities, war colossi, and mechanical dragons in the sky. Now magic cores can be seen everywhere. Find a way to provide continuous and stable power.  Exporting is not difficult.  The French-core gunpowder gun he designed is actually an alchemical work. Because French-core gunpowder cannot be triggered by ordinary firing pins and primers, the trigger and hammer of the French-core gunpowder gun are engraved with miniature magic circles. They can only be activated after the two collide with each other.  The trace elements in the nuclear fragments are stimulated to conflict. The barrel and handle of the gun are engraved with a magic circle to prevent the chamber from exploding and causing a chain reaction. Although the appearance looks very similar to the breech-loading musket on Earth, the inside is still  A work of authentic alchemical principles.  Therefore, everyone at the table did not think of Yang's proposal to adopt a large-scale industrial production model as a "revolution". They all thought that Yang once again used his alchemy "master" skills to come up with an excellent idea for everyone's common cause.  The solution is worthy of the talent that the Alchemy Association has high hopes for!  They are all business masters. After just a few glances, they saw the brilliance of this plan. They couldn't help but want to go back and have people print it. It will be used as required information within the chamber of commerce and studied carefully.  It was only then that people other than Wolford were completely convinced by Yang and his collaborators. Originally, they were all executives in the chamber of commerce. The merchant alliance had no name but the reality of a nation. Their identities were different from those of foreign countries.  There is no difference among senior officials.  This time they flattered each other and deliberately formed a good relationship. Originally, they only valued his talent as an alchemy designer and thought he was a nerd who engaged in theoretical design. Who would have thought that after meeting, he would be able to handle the shopping mall with ease; they would not know the specific production measures.  He can also come up with clever improvement plans and solve their most troublesome problems of production capacity and yield rate right away. And judging from his plan, these machines can obviously be used not only for arms, but also for other products that the chamber of commerce needs to produce.  After all, this gift of one million gold coins is so valuable!  Both guests got what they wanted, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became much more lively. After putting away Haoyang's plan, Count Honecker, the head of the munitions department, vowed to say a few good words to the president of the Chamber of Commerce. If the plan is implemented smoothly, he must  Applying for a patent for this "Yang's Working Method", anyone who uses the industrial machinery and processes he designed in the future will have to pay patent fees for it.  At the same time, we guarantee that Yang will get the real estate deed of the manor as quickly as possible, and that Yang and the others don't have to worry about servants, maids, or the cost of house renovation. As long as they mention the charter, they will get it done in the shortest time, and they will definitely be able to move in before school starts.  .  After drinking and eating, the heads of the Arms Department wanted to serve Haoyang, the God of Wealth, so they quickly found a group of subordinates who were most familiar with Academy City and asked them to act as tour guides and quickly take Yang and others to the school to report.  In addition, it is the Winter Festival at the end of the year. Mainland China attaches great importance to the festival of the four seasons. The Winter Festival represents the successful end of the year. People who have worked hard for a year can finally hide in the house and enjoy a rare leisure time in the cold and snowy weather.  Although Miner City is located in the south, it is difficult to see snow falling all over the sky, but the employers in the city rarely give their employees who have worked hard for a year a half-month holiday to celebrate the birthday of Miner City and the arrival of the New Year, so every year  The Winter Festival is the most lively day in the city, and they also asked their subordinates to take Yang and the others to enjoy the most cheerful celebration in the city.  During the Winter Festival every year, Academy City is the core place for various gatherings and performances. The ratio of young people here is the highest. They are in an era of passion and unrestraint. The folk customs here of the four major business alliances are open, and there are many strange things and all kinds of things.  The dazzling performance techniques first appeared at festivals, and then quickly became popular across the country and even the entire continent. Just look at the "black tornado" building that is the school's symbol, and you will know how deviant the things related to art here are.  At this time of year, new students of Miner School are admitted. When graduates leave school, the nostalgia for the school and their classmates allows the students to let go and have fun. The most famous carnival parade in mainland China started here and formed the  A specialized term for "Carnival".  Yang and the others joined the carnival crowd under the guidance of the tour guide. Xing and the others were still girls at heart. Hong herself also swore to make a clean break with the past and never be a nerd who only knew how to practice and ignored the things around her. She was very interested in Mineer City.  The carnival parade has been famous for a long time, and Yang is a person who likes excitement. A group of people crowded to the side of the main road to enjoy the famous float exhibition parade.
