After greetings, Chang Chun asked Zhu Changyang to follow her to the study.

Jun Su followed him very naturally.

Chang Chun looked at him without hesitation and hinted tactfully: "Brother Jun, this is a private matter of Changyang..."

"His personal affairs?" Jun suddenly understood, even more naturally, "Then I should know."

The flashy black cat that had been following him raised his head and echoed: "Meow, meow, meow."

"?" Chang Chunwu slowly turned his head in confusion and looked at Zhu Changyang.

Zhu Changyang wiped his face and didn't know how to explain it for a moment. He expected that Baigongmen only wanted to talk to him about those few things, so he laughed dryly and said: "It doesn't matter. If he wants to listen, just come along."

Jun Su rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows proudly at Chang Chun Bu.

The black cat is proud of the same style: "Meow!"

Chang Chunwu: “……?”

What's there to be proud of?

But since Zhu Changyang said so, she followed suit. It was not a big secret at all, so she nodded, and then took out a stack of spirit stone bills and handed it over: "This is the profit share of the flashlight for you."

Zhu Changyang had already gotten rid of the embarrassment, but when he saw the number of bills, he was still surprised: "So many!"

Jun Su and Mao turned their heads together, glanced at the thickness of the bill, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

"Meow."

Chang Chun Wu: "..."

For some reason, I suddenly felt the pressure of being judged.

"These are just the current income." Chang Chunwu smiled at Zhu Changyang and continued, "Thanks to your technology, the flashlights we made are very popular. Customers from all nine regions come to order, and there are still several

The order is waiting to be made.”

In addition to the flashlight workshop, as Zhu Changyang guessed, Baigongmen also produced a batch of bicycles, and mixed other metals and spiritual materials into the raw materials to make a stronger and lighter alloy, which greatly improved the performance of the bicycles.

But even so, there is still no market for bicycles in the world of cultivation, where people often fly into the sky and escape from the earth. They are mainly sold to the mortal realm, and of course they also make a lot of money for Baigongmen.

It's just that the principle of a bicycle can be understood at a glance, and it is difficult to maintain technical barriers. Now there are craftsmen in the mortal realm who can imitate production.

It doesn't matter to Baigong Sect, their core technology is still in weapon refining.

For the world of cultivation, although the flashlight is practical, it is not very magical, and it is even less useful in seeking the truth. What everyone is more concerned about is the spiritual power battery refined by Changchun Bu, which is a real magic weapon.

When the topic returned to the flashlight workshop, Zhu Changyang became more energetic and proposed that he would take his apprentice to visit.

"Of course." Chang Chunbu agreed, and immediately acted as the explanation himself, leading Zhu Changyang and his group towards the back mountain.

Chang Fengchi also kept up with him.

The flashlight workshop is built next to the trial site and covers an area of ​​about one acre.

The workshops in the cultivation world naturally do not have modern mechanized automatic assembly lines, and most of the work is done manually by craftsmen.

Fortunately, the craftsmanship of the flashlight is not complicated. When Chang Fengchi mentioned that he wanted to build a workshop in the door, Zhu Changyang designed some simple mold drawings based on the level of weapon refining in the cultivation world.

The craftsmen of Baigongmen made the mold according to the drawings. As long as the craftsmen follow the operating specifications and use the mold correctly, they can manufacture various basic parts of the flashlight, which can be regarded as semi-automatic.

The biggest technical difficulty is that the melting point of tungsten is too high. Currently, mortal smelting technology cannot melt and shape it, so the refining of tungsten wire still needs to be completed by the smelting master in the sect.

This also has an advantage. There is no protection of property rights these days. Workshops in both the cultivation world and the mortal realm must find ways to protect their own secrets.

Although Baigongmen has signed a contract with its craftsmen and apprentices, it is still not foolproof. In this way, each process is independent, and it is difficult for a single person to steal the complete technology. Especially the production of tungsten wire is even more difficult for non-refiners to copy.

After visiting the parts production process, Chang Fengchi led them through a door and into a separate room next to it, and introduced: "This is an 'assembly room' built based on the suggestions of brothers."

The so-called assembly room is actually an assembly workshop designed with reference to modern factories.

There is a long, flat table in the empty room. The produced parts are transported here and distributed according to the link. Each of the assembly personnel is only responsible for assembling a few parts of the flashlight.

In addition, Zhu Changyang also designed a set of small tools for specialized work in the workshop, mainly electric soldering irons, tweezers and pliers.

These tools are simple to make but very practical.

In this way, every step after disassembly becomes very simple. With the help of tools, a six-year-old child can complete it without long-term training. The assembly speed is also greatly improved, and a flashlight can be assembled in a short time.

Finally, one person will conduct quality inspection to ensure that the flashlight components are complete and functional before shipment.

When they saw Chang Chunbu and his group, the workers greeted them warmly, showing that they were very satisfied with their work.

Chang Fengchi said: "The production of parts is still relatively slow now and can't keep up with the speed of assembly. It only takes half a day of assembly every day. In the remaining time, the brothers in the sect will teach everyone how to make and use molds. If you are willing, you can

Learn the basic Qi refining techniques."

Since flashlight production does not require cultivation or spiritual fire, recruiting workers does not require spiritual roots to reach a certain level like recruiting students.

In addition, the flashlight was selling well, and Baigongmen's remuneration was very generous, and he could make his own arrangements after get off work every day. Unlike being a handyman who had to work at any time of the day or night, the flashlight workshop undoubtedly became a commonplace in the area around Buchendi. The workplace you most want to enter.

Li Li followed Zhu Changyang. While listening to Chang Fengchi's introduction, he watched the flashlights being assembled one by one. He felt itchy in his heart and couldn't help but propose that he want to assemble it himself.

Chang Fengchi naturally agreed. A batch of parts happened to be shipped. He sat down next to the assembly line and learned from other people's operations, using a soldering iron to solder and assemble the parts...

After a while, a flashlight was completed in his hands. He installed the battery in the flashlight, pressed the button, and watched the light turn on, which made him feel even more excited.

I still remember that a few months ago, flashlights were as rare as immortal magic tools in the mortal realm.

But now, he saw with his own eyes that ordinary people can create such artifacts without spiritual roots or cultivation, as long as they undergo simple training and master certain methods, and they can be produced in batches.

This may be what Zhu Changyang once told him, the power that "technology" brings to mortals.

Live broadcast room:

[Seeing the processing factory again, the spring breeze of industry is really blowing across the land of cultivation. 】

[There is a saying that industrialization has indeed made ordinary people’s lives a lot more convenient. The same is true in the world of cultivation. No matter how powerful the magic weapon is, even ordinary people cannot use it, but it is not as practical as a flashlight. 】

【But will there be pollution? I am a little worried about environmental issues.】

[Pollution should be okay. Factory pollution is usually caused by the use of chemicals. I see that steps that require the use of chemicals, such as smelting tungsten wire, are all treated with magic... Magic is still strong, Muller]

After visiting the flashlight production line, Chang Chunwu took them to sit down in a nearby warehouse that also served as a temporary meeting hall.

In the world of cultivation, there are space spells such as mustard bags, and the warehouse area is not large.

Changchun Bu took out a mustard seed bag from a special cabinet and handed it to Zhu Changyang, saying: "These are the waste rocks saved for you. I originally asked Fengchi to send them to you, but you were unaccounted for the past few days, so I gave them to you."

Delayed."

Zhu Changyang took it and took a look, his eyes immediately lit up: "Wow, there are so many!"

This mustard seed bag is of high quality and has a large space inside. It can hold about half of a mountain when fully filled.

Most of the monks who use this kind of mustard bag have extraordinary abilities, and they usually store precious materials, spiritual stones, magic weapons, etc.

This bag is filled with a bag full of waste rocks that have been discarded like worn-out shoes by the world of cultivation. It is not just high-grade or medium-grade waste rocks, but the mountains of mostly low-grade waste rocks containing mainly copper and iron are piled inside.

This is normal. High-grade spiritual stones are already scarce. Even if all the high-grade waste stones from the nine regions are collected, this bag cannot be filled.

"That's great." Zhu Changyang smiled brighter than when he got the bill, and roughly estimated the amount, "These should be enough for me to use for a while."

The waste rock is of high grade as raw ore. If this bag is completely smelted, the common metals alone exceed the inventory he has worked hard to accumulate this year. It is probably enough for him to build a small factory.

"There could have been more. In the past, other sects didn't want waste stones. We can use a few low-grade spiritual stones or some spiritual materials to replace all their waste stones. Sometimes we don't even need to give them any spiritual stones. I don't care.

Just tell the chore disciples to pick them up on time." Chang Fengchi curled his lips, a little depressed, "Now that they have discovered that we can make flashlights from materials made from waste rocks, they have raised the price for the waste rocks. Some sects are also studying it.

There was waste rock, so it’s not as easy to collect the waste rock now as it was before.”

"Normal." Zhu Changyang was not surprised and said with a smile, "Downstream products are selling well, and the prices of upstream raw materials will definitely increase accordingly."

Metals have always been valuable in the mortal realm. Normally, mortal craftsmen would regularly go to the world of cultivation to look for waste stones. It's just that the world of cultivation looks down on mortal objects without spiritual power, so it has always regarded them as cheap things.

Now that the world of cultivation has discovered that these ordinary objects can also produce the equivalent effect of magic weapons and make a lot of money, the value judgment of waste rocks will naturally change accordingly.

Chang Fengchi thought about it and felt relieved and said no more.

Chang Chunwu smiled, then his face became serious, and he said to Zhu Changyang: "By the way, I have one more thing to discuss with you."

Zhu Changyang: "What?"

Chang Chunwu took out another bag from the cabinet and put it in front of him and said: "These are the used batteries collected according to your previous suggestions."

This mustard bag does not have much space. It contains a small half bag of ordinary dry batteries. The quantity is not large, but they are all used. The surface of some batteries has rotted, and some solution can be seen seeping out.

It turns out that when Baigongmen proposed to build a flashlight workshop, Zhu Changyang thought about the problem of environmental pollution. His workshop has advanced equipment that can process various industrial wastes. The current industrial understanding of Piaomiao Continent is obviously not at this level.

However, Zhu Changyang didn't have any better ideas at the time, so he could only remind Changchun in the Jade Letter not to pay attention to the waste gas and waste water produced by the workshop, and suggested that she find a way to recycle the used ordinary dry batteries.

In fact, to be honest, the scale of Baigongmen's workshop is only that large, which is nothing compared to the real large-scale factories in modern times. Moreover, many processes can be processed with spiritual fire, unlike modern factories that require chemicals. Even if they don't care about the vastness at all,

The nine domains have no influence at all.

But Zhu Changyang was thinking about a longer-term issue. As the saying goes, a little makes a big difference. Who could have predicted how widely flashlights would be used in the mortal realm in the future, and whether other industrial products would appear in the mortal realm.

Chang Chunwu didn't know why at first, but she knew that Zhu Changyang would not make a mistake, so she added a condition when selling flashlights, requiring people who bought flashlights to bring used batteries to exchange them before they could buy new ones.

Battery, similar to the old-for-new model.

After a period of time, I accumulated these old batteries.

Chang Chunwu also gradually understood what Zhu Changyang meant. Monks are most sensitive to breath. Even if they know little about chemicals, she can feel that these old batteries gradually become ominous after being stored for a long time. The substances inside are not good for mortals.
To be continued...
