Chapter 33 Mass Production of Armor and Weapons

In addition to the Lord of the City and Baron Billier, the people who came together were the same as President Cruise who heard the news.

Most of them are the heads of the major chambers of commerce that do business with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, including Fuller Morgan, the president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.

Without exception, these people have expressed concern about the sudden decision of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to relocate the entire factory, and the focus of attention is naturally on whether this relocation will affect the orders signed with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

After learning that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was only relocating from here to the nearby Sangqiton Manor, and that normal production would resume within a week at the earliest, everyone was relieved.

After chatting for a while, everyone's eyes naturally focused on Earl Summer and Baron Billier.

Most of them looked at Baron Billier.

Everyone here is well-informed people in Bangta City, how can they not know the inside story of the sudden relocation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

It should be said that Baron Billier suddenly made such an unreasonable request this time, which surprised everyone.

The New Flying Chamber of Commerce has made it clear that it is very promising. Even if the Stark family does not pay special attention to it, at least it should not take such an attitude for no reason, and almost cut off the relationship with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Baron Billier still looked like a condescending person in front of everyone, and when he saw everyone's eyes focused on him, he smiled and came to Xu Yi, squinting at Xu Yi and said, "President Xu, look at Earl Satsuma. In order to save face, I gave you a grace period for a few days. But don't blame me for not reminding you, if you haven't done it after the deadline. Don't blame me for being rude. "

Hear this. Everyone around couldn't help frowning.

Does this Baron Billier have a grudge against Xu Yi or something? Why are you targeting him and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce so much?

Xu Yi's face was calm. Instead, he smiled and nodded: "Please rest assured, Lord Baron. With our current relocation progress, it will be completed before the day after tomorrow, and it will not delay your planning for this territory."

Baron Billier nodded slightly: "It's almost the same. If it delays my business, I will see you later."

The frowns of the people around him deepened.

Judging from the information they inquired about, Baron Billier was unreasonable from the beginning to the end of this matter, but now he is still putting on such a face in front of Xu Yi, even if he has a normal relationship with Xu Yi. But it also inevitably made people angry.

However, everyone here is a sophisticated person, and no one will refute Baron Billier in person at this time.

This guy clearly put on the face of a playboy, just not reasoning with you, arguing with him, no need to say it, and even offending him or even the Stark family behind him, but no one will so stupid.

Xu Yi looked at Baron Billier and suddenly asked, "Lord Baron, I have a question to ask."

"What's the problem?" Baron Billier said nonchalantly.

"You do this, are you sure you won't regret it later?"

Since he came, Earl Satsuma, who just said hello to Xu Yi and said nothing, raised his eyebrows slightly. Somewhat unexpectedly, he glanced at Xu Yi.

This Xu Yi, on the surface, seems to have been able to maintain a calm attitude towards this matter. But judging from the fact that he asked this question, he still felt a little anger in his heart.

Everyone around was stunned for a moment, thinking that Xu Yi's question was not polite at all.

Baron Billier was stunned, then let out a sneer, and said disdainfully: "Regret? Why should I regret it? I said Xu Yi, although your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is developing at a good speed and has made a lot of money this year, but Do you want to look at yourself too much? Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a small chamber of commerce in Bangta City, what qualifications do you have to make me regret it? Don't you think it's ridiculous to ask this question? "

Xu Yi stared at Baron Billier for a while, until he could see that he was a little uncomfortable and glared back at Xu Yi, then he withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly: "Okay, I understand, thank you Baron for your answer. "

Baron Billier looked at Xu Yi inexplicably, and snorted coldly, "Xu Yi, I thought I didn't see anything I didn't want to see from those messy newspapers these few days, I think you are at least a smart person. Looking at it now, you are not that smart."

The relocation of the factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as a big news for Bangta City and several surrounding cities.

Under normal circumstances, the newspapers in these cities will definitely report heavily, and get to the bottom of the reason.

But this time, more than ten newspapers in several cities just reported the incident as a very ordinary news.

As for the reason for the sudden decision of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to relocate, it is uniformly explained that this is the development strategy set by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a long time.

In addition to Xu Yi's request, the reason why these more than ten newspapers have reached such a unified caliber, naturally, the Earl of Satsuma and the Lord of Karma, the Earl of Annaris, played a role.

Of course, Baron Billier knew this, so he praised Xu Yi for being a smart person.

Now that he said that he was not smart enough, Xu Yi naturally didn't bother to argue, smiled at him, ignored it, and turned to discuss with the heads of other surrounding chambers of commerce.

After he and everyone confirmed the next process steps for the new flying chamber of commerce to complete the order, everyone left one after another. At this time, Count Summer came over.

Looking at the carriages that were leaving one after another, Earl Summer said, "That's right. Relocating such a large factory is a very complicated thing, and it's still in such a hurry. I thought you would definitely be in a hurry this time, but now It seems that you have arranged all the work very well, which really makes me have to appreciate it."

"Lord Earl has won the prize." Xu Yi smiled and said modestly. "You made a special trip here today to see how we moved?"

"This is also one of the reasons." Earl Summer pointed to the office in the distance. "We'll sit down and talk about the rest."

Xu Yi was a little puzzled. If there was something important, why didn't he call himself the City Lord's Mansion to talk about it?

The two walked into the office that had not yet begun to move. Xu Yi poured the water. Then split up and sit down.

Earl Summer paused. He pointed out the window and asked Xu Yi, "What do you think of the boys in the City Guards?"

Xu Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that Earl Summer would actually involve the city guards who came to help with the relocation.

After thinking for a while, Xu Yi nodded and replied, "Excellent. It can be seen that their physical fitness is very strong. If all the troops of our Lampari Kingdom have such qualities, then the army of our Lampari Kingdom may be afraid. It can be ranked in the entire Sainz Continent."

"You are exaggerating." Earl Summer waved his hand. "There are many factors that determine the strength of a country's military. The physical fitness of the soldiers is only one aspect, but it is also important. There are also many aspects such as equipment and logistics. Among them, the most important factor that determines the level of combat effectiveness in battle. The immediate point is the equipment.”

Xu Yi was shocked.

Earl Summer is certainly not a person who likes to talk nonsense, but what does he mean when he talks to himself about soldiers' equipment?

After thinking about it, Xu Yi could only reluctantly nodded: "Well, I agree."

Earl Summer continued to ask: "Xu Yi, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now been able to mass-produce a series of iron magic machines such as magic fans, magic rice cookers, etc. using magic machine tools, right?"

"Well, that's true."

"Then you..." Earl Summer glanced at Xu Yi, then paused, in a tone that didn't seem to care much. He said lightly: "It shouldn't be a problem to develop a magic machine tool that can mass-produce armor and weapons?"

Xu Yi's hands trembled slightly. He almost missed the teacup in his hand.

After calming down, Xu Yi asked Earl Summer in a deep voice, "Lord City Lord, what do you mean?"

"What? Don't you understand what I said?" Earl Summer stared at Xu Yi with a serious expression: "I ask you, are you sure you can develop a product that can produce high-efficiency, magic-powered rice cookers like magic fans and magic rice cookers? A magic machine that mass-produces the armor and weapons that soldiers need?"

Xu Yi was silent for a while, and then answered with some difficulty: "Theoretically ... no problem. Even the many magic machine tools we are using now, including the magic punching machine, only need a little modification to complete the comparison. Simple armor casting. As for the weapon... it depends on what kind of weapon it is."

Earl Summer's eyes lit up and he asked, "What about bows and arrows, for example?"

"In terms of bows... I don't know what kind of bows are used now, so I can't answer. But in terms of arrows, if you only make pure steel arrows, it's actually no more troublesome than making screws, and even from a technological point of view. Simpler. As for the arrow shaft... If you want to build a one-piece pure steel arrow, the casting process will be a little more troublesome, but if you just need to build an alloy steel arrow shaft or a plastic arrow shaft, the process is not too troublesome. . Although it is difficult to develop the corresponding magic machinery, I think there should be no problem. However, the development of these things will hinder the research and development of the civilian magic machinery of our chamber of commerce. I think…”

"Wait a minute..." The expression on Count Summer's face was a little confused, he raised his hand to signal Xu Yi to pause, thought for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What kind of alloy steel and plastic are you talking about? Why have I never heard of it? Pass?"

Xu Yi was startled, and then he realized that he was answering according to the earth's standards, but he forgot that the world's understanding of the materials used in various mechanical processes is very shallow.

At least everyone has seen alloy steel in the automatic magic rice cooker and magic bread machine, but plastic... It is still being researched in the Night Song tribe, and it is still a short time before it actually comes out.

"These two are special craft materials, which can have different effects depending on the material. For example, the material used by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to manufacture automatic magic rice cookers and magic bread machines is an alloy that we have recently researched. Steel. This alloy steel, which I call Silver Leaf Steel, is lighter than normal iron, but not as hard as iron, and has the property of not rusting."

"Wouldn't it be better to use this kind of silver leaf steel to cast armor and weapons?" Count Summer asked immediately.

Xu Yi hesitated for a moment: "This... I'm not sure. Because the armor and weapons worn by soldiers require a lot of extreme requirements, and Yinye Steel has not conducted a real limit test at present, so we can't determine whether it can bear the armor. and the casting needs of weapons."

"Since there is silver leaf steel, it means that there must be other alloy steels you mentioned? Then among these alloy steels, there should be alloy steels that are more suitable for making armor and weapons?"

"This...should be." Xu Yi could only nod helplessly.

"Very good!" Earl Summer slammed the table, laughed twice, then patted Xu Yi's shoulder hard, and said excitedly: "I originally just wanted your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to develop the magic I need. Machine tool, but I didn't expect to ask more useful things from you. Xu Yi, Xu Yi, I really didn't expect you to hide so many treasures. If I didn't ask, wouldn't you plan to say it? "

Xu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Sir City Lord, after all, this is the trade secret of our Chamber of Commerce. If you hadn't taken the initiative to ask, how could I have easily disclosed it."

"Business secrets?" Earl Summer shook his head with a smile. "In the face of the interests of the entire kingdom, what are some mere commercial secrets? Well, Xu Yi, I will now give you two options. The first option is to promise me to develop the magic machine tool I just mentioned for the kingdom, and at the same time develop What alloy steel and plastic did you just say. The second option is to reject me, and then your new pilots will fend for themselves. Which one do you choose?"

Xu Yi can only continue to smile helplessly: "Lord City Lord, do I have a choice?" (To be continued..)
