Chapter 155 New Visitors

Roland received the first purchase order since the steam engine was built, and the transaction amount was the largest so far.

The price of a bare metal is 500 Golden Dragons. Two units are delivered in the first month, and one unit will be increased every month, totaling ten units.

The future technical support, parts replacement, and equipment improvement of the steam engine will require additional payment. As for the high-quality after-sales service and three-guarantee commitment, Roland said he had never heard of it.

Barov was most excited about the deal. In his opinion, the act of increasing revenue for the city hall, whether it was trade or plunder, deserves great praise.

There are also opponents. Carter, Shushu and Nightingale have all questioned this matter, believing that it is too early to sell these powerful machines to outsiders, and now Border Town is not enough.

Roland did not explain much about this, because he did not start from the perspective of a lord alone, but made this decision from the position of an industrial promoter.

It is almost impossible to achieve the task of promoting the process of social industrialization on his own, even if he has knowledge higher than the times.

The digestibility of the town is extremely limited, and if the industrial products produced are not purchased by anyone, it is no different from scrap iron.

Only by allowing more people to join this change can we set off a wave of new power applications.

What can he get by selling a steam engine?

Adequate currency, a large number of jobs, and a group of skilled workers, the latter has always been the most important.

This is also the reason why Roland lowered its production.

After Anna's ability evolved, her productivity was no longer comparable. As long as the raw materials were enough, she could now cut out a dozen steam engines in a day.

You can sell such products just by simply selling machines.

To drive this industry, a special team must be formed to be responsible for production, assembly and maintenance.

In Roland's plan, he only needed to open a factory and prepare production tools, such as boring machines, planing machines, milling machines, etc., and hand over all the production of the steam engine to the workers.

It can be expected that the factory's early production efficiency will definitely be low, and the product pass rate will be terrible, but gradually, everything will be on the right track. With the blessing of Anna's mother bed, as long as you are familiar with the operation, the output will inevitably rise steadily.

Next, we will use the profits of selling machines to expand production scale and train more technicians.

Experienced old workers make the town capable of producing higher products, such as steam trains, steam ships, etc.

There is no doubt that this is a virtuous cycle.

Those sold steam engines can also indirectly create benefits for themselves and use them in mining, which can reduce ore prices; they can promote trade; they can use them in shipping, which can make up for their shortcomings.

Rolandba cannot quickly popularize steam power across the country as long as these machines are produced from border towns.Once he unifies the Gray Castle, he can save a lot of effort.

He also considered the possibility of a buyer imitating a steam engine, but the new steam engine will use a circular cylinder drilled by a boring machine, plus some deliberately designed complex parts. Relying on the current craftsmanship level, it is probably difficult for them to build qualified machines in a short time, even if they have high-temperature witches.

It should have been a joy to be able to negotiate such a large order and find a channel to sell industrial products, but Roland found that he was not happy at all.

It’s already clear outside, why are you still having a bitter face?Nightingale lifted her long legs and sat on the desk, holding a plate of dried fish in her hand. Are you still worried about the news about the church?

When the book was gone, the nightingale's behavior would become particularly casual, and the corner of the desk and the recliner beside the wall were places where she often stayed.

For other lords, this behavior was obviously an offense, but Roland knew that she didn't care, and she knew it too.

I have always wondered why the church supported me and Gassia to compete for the throne at the same time. Now I probably figured it out.If I guess correctly, I'm afraid that Tifeco also received an invitation from the church.He frowned.

In addition to orders, Margaret also brought him a lot of information from the capital, one of which surprised Roland, that is, the church attacked and took over the Kingdom of Eternal Winter. And according to the businesswomen, they seemed to plan to step closer and launch an attack on the Kingdom of Wolf Hearts.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, connecting all the ominous signs that had been wandering in his heart.

At the same time, support you three to compete for the king?

It's not support, it's consumption.Roland shook his head. The church did not care that the war spread across the country, or that they were happy to see the grey castle trapped in internal strife.As for the church and believers being caught in the war, they were simply not within their concern.Gray Castle is not as weak as Yongdong, with a vast territory and a large number of people. If it is attacked for a strong force, the Judicial Army will also lose most of the losses.Only when we kill each other can he occupy the Graycastle at the lowest cost.After that, the believers will have as many as they want, and the church can be built anyway.Those pills... are nothing more than traps they have prepared carefully.

The order to fight for the king issued by Wimbledon III is equivalent to giving the church an opportunity to operate the situation. If Gray Castle, Wolf Heart and Yongdong are destroyed one after another, the only Dawn Kingdom will not be able to survive alone.

The real purpose of the church is probably to unify the four kingdoms. Considering the slowness of message transmission and the indifference of the people to the political situation, it is very likely that the other party will come to the door and everyone will wake up.

This is also why Roland feels anxious.

There is no foundation for establishing a united front in this era, and it is even more unimaginable to expect the nobles of Gray Castle to rush to support each other across the country. When the church army is at the city, the last thing he can rely on is probably the small number of troops in the Western Frontier.

But you also have new weapons. The Judgment Army is not much stronger than ordinary knights. I don’t think they can win you.

I remember that when Nightingale mentioned the behemoth of the church in the past, she only felt fear, but now she can have such great confidence in herself, which is slightly beyond Roland's expectation.

He forced a smile, but sighed in his heart. It was not difficult to hand over the revolver to Anna for production. The trial-made revolver rifle and two revolver pistols performed very well, whether it was trigger reset or automatic revolver.

But if the bullet firing problem is not solved, the new weapon will have no practical value.

Without developing mercury lysate, he had to use some alternative materials to serve as the base fire.

I hope that the personal guards who go to Chishui City can bring good news, Roland thought.

At this moment, the momentum of the past was restored. The lightning, which was undergoing daily training, flew into the office. She brought unexpected news that the flag on a slope in the woods on the east side of the border town was replaced with blue.

According to the joint method agreed in the rumors that Roland secretly spread, the blue flag means that a new witch is coming.
