Tang Mo has also been thinking about it these days, and is preparing to start resuming real production. He estimates that at this rate, he will arrange manpower in a few days to start making gun stocks and gun bodies out of sun-dried wood.
It's a delay, and it's not in line with his behavior.
Then he also took the time to accumulate some drawings, preparing to lay out new machinery and equipment directly after the factory was built in the future.
At the same time, he planned to let Roger train the factory's own security guards while going to Bunas Port to place a large order for materials. When the Earl's next funds arrive, he can directly deliver the goods to the Earl!
After Tang Mo's hard work, the entire workshop has actually changed a lot - the largest warehouse in the factory has been transformed into a chemical factory.
The ventilation here is not very good, so Tang Mo hired some workers to smash out some windows in the warehouse.
There is no way, he doesn't have ventilation equipment now - he can't afford to install it if he does, and he doesn't have electricity if he can install it... In short, he can only use the most primitive methods to barely meet the requirements or standards.
Next to this warehouse is a passage. After all, warehouses must be fire-proof, and they must also be anti-theft. Therefore, this large warehouse is actually surrounded by roads, which are used to block possible spread of fire and also have some anti-theft functions.
On the other side of the road is also a warehouse. This warehouse is smaller and has thicker walls. It was originally used to store dangerous goods such as gunpowder.
Now, this place is empty, and it has been transformed into a laboratory. Tang Mo uses it himself. It is a small personal space for him. Usually this place is locked, and only Tang Mo has the key.
Next to it is still the passage. Beside the passage is the water room, which contains a well, a water tank for storing water, and some large buckets for fire protection.
There are piles of wooden barrels filled with water here, and the ground is relatively high. If the powder magazine catches fire, it will obviously be more labor-saving to transport water to put out the fire from here.
Tang Mo walked all the way, bypassing the water house, and came to the other two warehouses. The two warehouses were only separated by a wall and were not separated intentionally. Their structures were all wooden houses, and they were obviously not used to store expensive goods.
The place.
Before, this place was used to store wood, leather, and some sundries from the workshop. But now, Tang Mo has transformed it into a school!
Now all the goods here have been emptied and moved further away to some newly built wooden houses with worse quality. It is simply a "fooled" construction area. Apart from being able to store some sundries, there is almost nothing.
Useless.
These hastily constructed wooden houses are basically similar to pavilions. They are uninhabitable due to ventilation from all sides and are filled with junk goods, so they look more like houses.
At this moment, there are some long tables and benches that have been built in a hurry and are neatly placed here. It looks like a simple conference room.
In order to accommodate as many tables and chairs as possible, the width of the tables has been significantly reduced, and even the backrests of the chairs have been omitted. Most of the tables and chairs that were previously produced in the workshop were needed here.
In short, everything here is very crude, so crude that this school in name only has not even hired a teacher.
Despite this, Tang Mo has already started planning to recruit new students to get the school up and running as soon as possible. Because he really can't afford to wait, he needs more and more talents who can understand him and be used by him!
He didn't know how many decent students he would be able to recruit by then. Tang Mo laughed at himself and continued walking forward.
In the corner is the most leisurely place in the entire weapons workshop - the shooting range! In other words, this is a weapons test firing range.
Tang Mo saw from a distance that Weiss, who was holding a revolver, was pulling out the pistol from the holster on his waist again and again, raising the gun and pretending to fire.
Tiger, who was standing aside, looked at Wes practicing with envy. He didn't even have the flintlock pistol hanging on his waist that he almost never left his body.
"I saw those new ones." Weiss saw Tang Mo coming over, smiled, put the pistol into his holster, and said hello.
"How is it?" Tang Mo didn't hesitate and asked Weiss with a smile.
"Not bad." Weiss said: "I am your bodyguard, I don't care about other things. It's a good thing to have them, so it will be a lot easier."
He had always claimed to be Tang Mo's bodyguard and seemed to have already established his identity. However, Tang Mo felt that if there was a better choice, he would not put such an unknown guy by his side.
"I'm already making the second revolver. It will probably be ready in a few days." Tang Mo looked at Tiger again and comforted the poor kid who didn't get the toy.
Anyway, Tang Mo has already started producing smokeless gunpowder, and he has already started asking a few young apprentices to help him handcraft the parts for the world's first true "revolver" that uses metal fixed-loading ammunition.
With this pistol, he is tantamount to possessing the world's first modern firearm, thus forming a complete and overwhelming advantage over older weapons that cannot be caught up.
Once his men began to equip such small pistols that could fire continuously and reload quickly, opponents holding flintlock guns would be completely unable to parry them.
However, with Tang Mo's current financial situation, there is no way to mass-produce this weapon - he does not have enough copper to produce bullet casings, nor enough chemicals to produce smokeless gunpowder.
Everything can only be produced on a small scale, and the small-scale equipment cannot withstand the consumption of war and cannot be replenished quickly.
However, in small-scale local battles, these new weapons are enough to give Tang Mo an advantage. What he wants now is not to arm his troops, but to arm himself first!
After chatting with Tiger and Weiss, Tang Mo went to inspect the territory that belonged to him again. The workshop was his home, and he treasured everything in the workshop.
When he walked along the path back to the busy factory building, he saw the short but strong figure of Matthews.
The second steam engine started working, making the only factory building that was producing even more noisy. The noise here was already very loud, and you had to shout at the top of your lungs to say anything.
The flywheels of the two steam engines were constantly rotating, making the entire factory full of energy. Matthews was standing next to a rapidly rotating lathe, polishing an irregular part.
With this kind of eternal motivation, the work of polishing became very simple. Matthews quickly finished a part in his hand, put it aside, and twisted his neck.
Then he saw Tang Mo standing next to him, and he grinned: "This thing is so useful. I like it here more and more."
"You will like it here more." Tang Mo thought of the few drawings he had drawn during the past two days, and said to the old dwarf with a smile: "Things at the school have been on track recently. If you have time, you can teach some
Teach kids how to operate machinery.”
"That's no problem. It's just that if you want to be an apprentice, it's best to be a child over ten years old. If you are too young and don't have enough concentration, teaching will be a waste of time." Matthews reminded Tang Mo.
"It doesn't matter, you just need to teach them. I can't let the younger children go out, so I can only let them listen together." Tang Mo didn't take it seriously and shook his head and did not agree with Matthews' statement.
He is really thirsty for talent and refuses no one who comes. He is even willing to train girls because he knows that in the future industry, female workers can play a very important role as well as female managers.
Because of the lack of talent, he was unwilling to let go of any possibility. Since the number of employees could not be increased immediately, bringing in women to serve as men was obviously a good way to expand quickly.
Matthews did not refute, and followed Tang Mo and said, "Okay! Since you insist, I don't care."
"In addition, I want to give you some work... help me make some parts... I have uses." Tang Mo said casually before leaving.
"No problem." Matthews' eyes lit up and he agreed immediately.
…
Soon, a strange storm was brewing in the Tang's weapons workshop. While polishing a part in his hand, a worker asked his colleagues around him: "Have you heard? Our workshop actually opens weapons for children.
Got a school..."
The colleague did not put down what he was doing, and replied without raising his head: "Of course I heard about it. I also heard that I haven't found a teacher. For the time being, our boss still has a few old masters to teach..."
"That's not bad. It's also good to send the children to learn crafts. It's better than doing nothing at home..." The worker who asked the question blew the parts in his hands with his mouth, blowing off the iron filings on them, and continued to sigh.
road.
He has a son who is 13 years old and is at the age of learning. It is a very good choice to send him here to learn some trades for free.
The worker who didn't even raise his head threw the polished trigger into the box of the finished product and stretched: "Yeah, I didn't expect... our boss is willing to teach children to learn things. It's really..."
"Isn't it? I heard it's free... I don't know if it's true or not..." Another worker interrupted, looking very excited.
He has two children at home, and both of them are very smart. If they can learn something, they will probably have enough food and clothing in the future.
These days, there are not many bosses who are willing to provide benefits to the employees who work under them, and even fewer are crazy people like Tang Mo who are prepared to provide education for the children of everyone under them.
After hearing the news, almost all the workers became excited. They rushed to tell each other and began to think about how to take over their children.
