Chapter 7 I thought I was here to learn technology
Thomas the Tank Engine, who looks like the mayor, did not actually leave the hotel for no reason and go home to catch up on his sleep.
In order for the ranch to start smoothly, as the mayor, he must have a comprehensive consideration.
Arranging a place for this young man named Marcus to eat is just the first step. Making sure he doesn't starve to death here is the top priority.
But what about the subsequent coordination tasks?
The mayor of the town, Thomas the Tank Engine, and his big-cap Harris, visited several of the mayor's "entrepreneurs" one after another and informed the rancher of his new arrival.
Lilia, the hostess of the chicken farm, expressed her willingness to sponsor a group of chickens, but the stock of chicken feed was insufficient and she had to find a solution on her own.
Old Man Mucci, a large cattle and sheep owner of Udell Ranch, said that his own ranch is enough in this town.
Sebala, the workshop owner of the blacksmith house who is also an old man, showed his usual enthusiastic style, saying that in addition to providing free tools, he was also willing to send his grandson Gray to do voluntary work.
Is this grandson your biological child, old man?
The owner of the grocery store, Jeff, had control over the purchase and sale of groceries in the town, and cautiously stated that he would give discounts. Thomas spent a lot of effort to deceive him... and asked for two bags of seeds.
Finally, Thomas found out from Dick, the owner of the vineyard, that the garden needed a helper to hoist and carry wine barrels. However, considering Marcus's slightly thin body, it was up to him to decide whether to do this job or not.
Finally seeing that it was getting dark, Thomas rushed to the beach house and found Zach, who was responsible for the import and export transportation of goods in the town.
"You mean, someone airdropped a rancher?"
The big man, who had a muscular shave and wore short-sleeved shorts even in winter, had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Thomas had a hopeless expression on his face. He felt that he needed 24 hours of sleep to recover from today's fatigue.
"You've asked me three times..."
"All right."
This method of transporting people is indeed shocking, but it is not impossible to accept it.
"Then I'll go over with you and explain to the new neighbor the precautions for shipping. That damn place is almost in ruins, so I'll go help him clean it up."
After that, the man, who was like a little giant, locked the account books in the cabinet drawer, checked them again and again before leaving the house, and then added a big lock to the house.
"You are still so cautious." Thomas moved his fat body to catch up with Zach, and together they took advantage of the setting sun to walk towards the road on the west side of the town.
………
Ore Town Ranch.
I looked at this stone cutting table with satisfaction.
The table is only about half a meter high, and its structure is very simple. A titanium alloy table is placed as the main body. I just used stones and wooden sticks to smooth out the uneven edges bit by bit with unimaginable body control.
and the table top, forged into an absolute plane.
The position close to the operator is an elliptical arc, which is convenient for placing stones on it and can also be used to borrow force during operation.
The desktop is also engraved with multiple scales of different proportions for measuring the length and width of the stone to ensure precise control of stone production.
The four table legs and many special brackets are put together with a complex mechanical structure. Without the need for welding or rivets, they form an unbreakable whole. The above visual inspection can bear the processing of an entire boulder at the same time.
Compared with this beautiful overall structure, the tools on the table are much shabby. There is only a chisel, a hammer, and a hard stone that may be used as a pot, and nothing else.
"If we didn't rely on the system's plug-in assistance, it wouldn't be enough to cut wood, let alone stone."
I looked at this thing again and silently labeled it "system design, unreasonable".
Standing in front of the stone cutting table, I started to look at the work list of this equipment to check if there was anything that could be made.
"Equipment worklist:
Making Sandstone Bricks
making granite tiles
Making Limestone Bricks
making slate tiles
making marble tiles
General Stone Processing”
All the options above are gray, and there is an inconspicuous prompt message when selecting.
"Task failed: There is a lack of available raw materials and the work task cannot be completed."
In other words, the pits and valleys full of stones here are not within the operable range of this stone cutting table.
But from the outside, these are all serious granite stones.
Finally, the option at the bottom of the list is still available, and it looks very different.
"General Stone Processing

Let’s get started!
………
When Zach and Thomas came to the pasture, they saw that a clean open space had been cleared on the pasture, and no matter whether it was weeds, rocks or trees, they were gone.
Opposite it is a row of neat gray and white stones stacked on the open ground.
The batch of stones were of different sizes, the larger ones were one meter square, the smaller ones were about half a meter, and the thicknesses were also different. However, relying on the amazing stacking skills, they were perfectly integrated into a whole.
It is conceivable that when these stones are used to construct buildings, this magical method can also be used to form the whole and facilitate the replacement of damaged parts.
On the other side, Zach saw a young man with a slightly thin back, who was bursting with amazing strength, carrying a few stones on his hands and shoulders, and walked to a peculiar operating table.
Holding a chisel in his hand, he chiseled on the surface of the stone with ease.
A "click" sound was heard, and a line had cracked on the stone. It slid straight along the area with richer impurities, and a big hole opened up.
Then the young man used hammers and chisels, and repeated the operations. The originally irregular large stone became a regular and exquisite gray-white stone, with sharp edges and corners, dignified and majestic. It can be regarded as a good building material wherever it is found.
.
It was also at this time that I discovered that Mayor Thomas had come to the ranch with his people. He quickly put down his work and said hello.
"Mayor, I was working just now and I didn't pay attention. Is there something wrong?"
Since I have to live in this town from now on, I decided not to argue with this deceitful mayor and showed a kind expression.
But when this expression fell on Thomas's eyes, it turned into a smiley look. He was afraid that I would blame him for running away at noon, so I would give him a blow on the head with a chisel.
At this time, a big man from behind stood up, almost able to block Thomas' fat figure!
This is amazing!
"I'm Zach! The shipper in this town. I will transport everything produced from now on, ensuring fair prices."
Zach showed a silly smile, patted his chest and assured me, and then tentatively asked
"Were you... cutting stone bricks just now?"
I nodded and gestured.
"Just call me Marcus. As you can see, I'm making some stone bricks. There are so many places in this ranch that need repair. From houses to roads, from infrastructure to equipment, nothing can be done without materials."
"Then can you demonstrate it to me? Your speed was too fast just now and I didn't see it clearly."
"Okay, then I'll make another one."
After that, I redistributed the work tasks and started a new round of making universal stone bricks. I put a complete universal stone in front of him in a few steps.
Zack said dumbfounded.
"You're going too fast, can you slow down a little?"
I demonstrated it again.
"Please do it again, I will definitely learn it!"
Zach was as furious as a defeated rooster, his eyes wide open and ready to catch my every move.
I took a look at the panel and saw the details of the manufacturing speed.
"Manufacturing speed
Affects the speed at which this person makes weapons, machinery, parts and tools. Note: Crafting skills affect the quality of the output items, but do not affect the manufacturing speed.
Base value: 100% (based on standard human limit speed)
Other attribute offsets:
Global working speed:*110%
healthy:
Operation ability: *100% (weight 100%)
Visual ability: *100% (weight 60%, maximum value 100%)
Final value: 110%”
Betting on my speed of 1.1 times the human limit, I guess your next sentence is...
Chapter completed!
