"Zishan, I think you have the temperament of a landlord." Wen Desi chuckled, "Everyone has the temperament of a bastard, but you have the power of a landlord."
"Maybe our ancestors were landowners. My dream has always been to have a large manor, grow vegetables and raise chickens, build a grape trellis, put a wicker chair underneath, and drink tea slowly with a teapot..."
"It's so enjoyable, but can't we do it now?" Wen Desi said slowly, "We have made a lot of money, but your dream is trivial."
"It's a pity that the wormhole will disappear one day." Xiao Zishan stretched his muscles and bones, "I feel that there are obvious energy fluctuations this time."
"It would be great if it were a random door for Doraemon." Mr. Wen laughed,
Xiao Zishan laughed: "I haven't finished what I said. There are a few cool beauties fanning and peeling lychees next to them. A mature woman, a royal sister, a little loli..." He thought for a moment, "In fact, Colgate is
Loli is a good girl."
"That girl," Wen Desi lay on the sofa and peeled open a lychee, "is not Gao Qing's daughter at all."
"Well, the DNA difference is quite big." Xiao Zishan began to register the pile of dishes and porcelain. Every time he returned from time travel, he was responsible for registering trade items and income. Wang Gong went to work in his small machinery factory again. Recently
He was very enthusiastic about going to work, so much that it surprised both Mr. Wen and Xiao Zishan - not only did he work overtime all day long, but he also came back in high spirits.
"She has no genetic characteristics from her father at all in appearance, and is slightly similar to her brother. And her height."
"Mr. Wen, have you fallen in love with this long-legged little lolita?"
"You have to put it aside first. There are too many serious things to do. Let's see what we are going to do first."
"Of course we are recruiting troops."
After completing the third cross-travel trade, they already had more than 20 million in cash, and the conditions for material preparation had been met.
To recruit troops, the first task is to choose a suitable starting point for assembly - a special place is needed to receive those who will report in the future. Guangzhou is obviously not a suitable place. According to Wen Desi's idea, this location should be relatively remote and close to
The place where you will travel in the future will have enough living facilities to accommodate hundreds of people with food and accommodation, and there will also be a large open-air venue, preferably a playground.
"What do you want a playground for?" Xiao Zishan was puzzled.
"Exercise your body," Wen Desi looked at his arms and Xiao Zishan's belly, "Not to mention, when you want to escape for your life, you must at least outrun the natives of the Ming Dynasty."
The troops were divided into three groups. Xiao Zishan had worked as a salesman and was familiar with the cities along the coast of Guangdong, so it was up to him to look for a base. Wang Luobin continued to go back to his machine factory to work. Wen Desi stayed in Guangzhou to prepare for the next time travel.
Trade, while hosting online discussions on the guestbook, and discovering those professionals. The first invitation list has been drawn up.
The fourth person to join the committee is not from the Internet, which is somewhat unexpected.
Wen Desi had just read the discussion board that night and was thinking about who he would have a private interview with next. Suddenly he saw Wang Luobin walking in, wearing a greasy work clothes and sitting down on the sofa indifferently.
Go up, face full of excitement.
"Wang Gong, why do you come to work so excitedly every day?" Wen Desi was very curious.
"Mr. Wen, I want you to meet someone."
"Who is it?" Wen Desi secretly wondered. Wang Gong usually doesn't like to talk and doesn't socialize much. Moreover, he is not a local. Why did he suddenly want to introduce someone to him?
"My boss." Seeing that Wen Desi didn't respond, he added, "He's the boss of where I work. His surname is Zhan."
"Um?"
"I told him about time travel——"
"What?!" Wen Desi almost jumped up.
"Old Wen, don't be excited, don't be excited," Wang Luobin said, "His surname is Zhan, and his name is Zhan Wuya. He is a technician with very good skills. He is proficient in turning, pliers, planing and milling..."
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business. Doesn't he think you are mentally ill or a liar?"
"That's not true. He still wants to participate."
"Participate?" Wen Desi couldn't think of anything for a while, so he asked again, "Does he want to go too?"
"Yes, that day when I made a hand-cranked Gatling machine gun with him..."
"What!?" Wen Desi really jumped up this time, "Wang Gong!!"
I quickly lowered my voice - although the sound insulation of this room is very good.
"You're crazy! You'll go to jail for making a black gun!"
"It's nothing. After all, we have to make guns when we get to the Ming Dynasty. Let's practice our skills first." Wang Luobin said with an indifferent expression, "It doesn't matter if we make two guns mechanically. Japan's 92 infantry cannon has already been made."
"Let's not talk about little Japan's 92 guns. What's the matter with your boss?"
"He particularly appreciates your idea and said that the machining aspect has been left to him, and he plans to move his entire factory there."
Zhan Wuya is not the greasy old worker that Mr. Wen imagined, but he looks like he is in his early thirties. He is wearing a T-shirt, his hair is neatly combed, and his hands are very large and have rough skin.
the nature of his profession.
Due to the nature of his work, Mr. Wen usually has a lot of contact with such small outsourcing processing factories. After chatting, the two people quickly discussed some machine processing technology issues in depth, and the common language shortened the distance between the two parties.
Soon there was nothing to talk about.
"Mr. Wen, let's put it this way, in our field of machinery, there is never anything we can't make." Zhan Wuya's words were full of working class pride, "Just my small factory, we can't make tanks."
Dare I say, building some mortars and machine guns is a piece of cake. When I was in technical school..."
While talking, he talked for five minutes about how he made a mortar as his graduation project, and then discussed the gun-making issue with Wang Luobin - only later did he find out why Wang Luobin and Boss Zhan established a relationship so quickly.
The main reason for the strong friendship was that both of them were avid gun enthusiasts - Wen Desi quickly stopped the two men's eloquent talk to prevent others from thinking that this was a brewing black gun gang.
He introduced the main equipment in his factory: 2 shears, 80t1 bending machine, 63t1 punch, 5t1 punch, 2 lathes, 1 planer, 1 radial drilling machine, 3 bench drills, cutting machine
1 set, 5 electric welding machines, 1 spot welding machine, 1 sawing machine, 1 crane, 1 grinder, 2 grinders, 1 set of oxygen welding, 1 set of air compressor, and 1 set of baking and paint room facilities.
"Actually, it's really difficult. You can survive with three major machines." Zhan Wuya said, "When I was studying, I liked to read military industry memoirs. At that time, those who were engaged in military industry were all talented people, so they only needed a lathe and a vise.
, you can also make guns, cannons, and machine tools." He thought for a moment, "But materials are very important. Without good materials, the things you make will be compromised, and some may even be unable to be processed. In particular, you must have suitable materials.
Steel.”
Wang Luobin said: "We want to establish a metallurgical industry, making iron and steel."
"I don't understand this aspect. If the material problem can be solved, in addition to being able to manufacture various professional equipment, the biggest advantage of machine tools is that they can reproduce themselves, and the production scale can be continuously expanded without fear of loss. It can be regarded as sustainable development."
"Indeed, no matter how much reserves you bring, there will be a day when they are all used up."
"Yes, but you still need to bring enough things, such as turning tools, which are usually made of alloy steel or sintered ceramics. We can't make them at the beginning. There are also grinding wheels for grinding, which require special materials and sintering techniques. In addition, grease
I don’t know if I can use substitutes, there are quite a few types..."
"We can solve these problems one by one." Wen Desi was full of energy, "Lao Zhan, you should be responsible for the preparation of the industry first."
"No problem!" Zhan Wuya's mood has never been so passionate. It has been almost ten years since he started his own business after leaving the factory. Although he has a small situation, his life has become boring.
Boring. Tired of dealing with customers every day. At this moment, an unprecedented new world appeared before his eyes. He was high-spirited and decided to do something big in this new world.
The industrial group of the Crossing Committee was established on this day. As a customary name, it was called the industrial port. A few days later, another member of the industrial port also reported for duty. This was the person who later met Zhan Wu in his memoirs.
Ma Qianju, who fiercely competes for the title of father of time travel industry.
Ma Qianzhu was originally from the same school as Xiao Zishan and others, and they were somewhat familiar with each other. However, he did not participate in the wormhole travel discussion at first, but was obsessed with his fully mechanical computing center system in another post -
An overhead design named Gear Type Five. At first, he thought that Mr. Wen’s wormhole was just like his mechanical computer, which was purely overhead. Later, he found out that when this group of people really wanted to go to the Ming Dynasty, he quickly found an acquaintance to report it.
As for his motivation, it is not surprising at all: only by creating a pure new world without chips and becoming a powerful person can he realize his ideal: covering an area of 6,000 acres and 80,000 horsepower.
, a luxurious mechanical computing center that performs 20,000 operations per second - this huge machine made his heart shudder when he thought about it.
Generally speaking, Ma Qianzhu’s hobbies are basically steampunk, keywords: multiple rivets and steam. There are many chimneys, and the roar of the boiler: the black smoke when coal burns, the thick steam emitted by the boiler, and the sound when steel collides.
A huge roar, a huge steam turbine train running on the ground, multiple turrets in the sky, a hard-shelled flying gunship with countless compartments filled with helium... This is his ideal world.
After receiving the phone invitation from Wen Desi, he packed his luggage without hesitation, quit his job of drawing frighteningly dense highway design drawings, and set off on the train to Guangdong.
What he went to was not Guangzhou, but a county-level city that he had never heard of. After getting off the train, he had to transfer to a long-distance bus. This place was the starting base that Xiao Zishan found. The travelers would join forces here and do
Get ready to embark on the road of conquering parallel worlds that you will never look back on.
