My Confucian Father

Chapter 87 Gods and ants, terrible soldiers!

Industrial standardization is difficult to understand for smelter craftsmen who are used to experience as a standard.

Even though Zhuge Bin had just demonstrated that two bicycles could not be reassembled after being disassembled, they felt that this was not a big deal.

Because every part has to be built exactly the same, it is better to just replace it with a new car to save trouble.

In their opinion, the former is a waste of time, and Su Mu's requirements are too demanding, even unrealistic.

After listening to the complaints of many craftsmen, Su Mu was not in a hurry to refute, and asked Wei Liangcai: "I heard that your Momen has a weapon called a mechanism crossbow box?"

Wei Liangcai nodded and said, "Of course there are, but basically there is not much production now."

Mechanism crossbow box is Momen's great killing weapon that combines the culmination of mechanism skills. Thousands of years ago, when the human race had no practitioners, the mechanism crossbow box could be said to dominate the battlefield.

A mechanical crossbow box can continuously shoot hundreds of crossbow bolts in a short period of time.

This weapon is the nemesis of light cavalry and infantry, and has had quite dazzling records in many battles.

However, after the emergence of the cultivation system, traditional weapons gradually withdrew from the battlefield, and there were fewer and fewer places where mechanism crossbow boxes could be used.

"Then if a mechanism crossbow box is broken, how do you repair it?" Su Mu continued to ask.

But this time before Wei Liang could speak, a craftsman replied: "The mechanism crossbow box is quite complicated in structure, and it is not easy to manufacture. If it is broken, it is usually discarded directly, because it is better to rebuild it than to repair it."

Su Mu smiled faintly, and said, "Let me guess, is it because it takes too much time to repair?"

"Because of the precise structure of the machine crossbow box, the internal parts are usually damaged, but the internal manufacturing process of each machine crossbow box is different, and there are no parts that can be replaced."

"Repairs need to be disassembled by a repair craftsman, and then a new one is made based on the broken parts, but whether it can be repaired depends entirely on the level of the craftsman, isn't it?"

Many craftsmen were suddenly dumbfounded.

Because what Su Mu said is absolutely correct, the biggest disadvantage of the mechanism crossbow box is that it is easy to break, and it cannot be repaired if it is broken.

"I understand!"

At this time, Tao An figured out something from Su Mu's words, and slapped his thigh suddenly.

"Brother Mu, what do you mean, if each component has a unified standard, then you only need to understand the structure of the mechanism crossbow box, then it can be easily repaired."

"In this way, even if it is broken, there is no need to rebuild it, and the cost will be reduced a lot."

After hearing this, Su Mu looked at Tao An in surprise, not expecting that he was the one who realized it first.

When Tao An used his brains like this, he was afraid that the brains of military repairers all over the world stopped for a second or two.

"That's right, that's what it means, and the advantage of standardization is that it is easy to expand the scale of production in the future, as long as it is manufactured according to a unified standard."

"In this way, the production cost is easy to control, and the production speed can also be increased, which is countless times better than everyone making products with different advantages and disadvantages according to their own standards."

"So I don't care what you did before, since you have come to my Reiki Technology Company, you have to follow the rules here."

"If you can't get used to it, then go back to the smelter of the Ministry of Industry. My principle here is to keep improving."

Su Mu's attitude was quite straightforward, he explained the truth clearly, stay if you can accept it, and leave if you don't accept it.

Although Su Mu's attitude was a bit tough, many of the craftsmen present were masters who had worked in the field of forging for many years. After listening to Su Mu's example of the crossbow box, he quickly understood the importance of standardization.

Unified manufacturing standards are indeed of great benefit to mass production, and they had never thought of this before.

Therefore, after Su Mu's words fell, no one objected, and no one chose to leave.

"very good."

Su Mu waited for a while and saw that no one spoke, so he nodded, and then told Wei Liangcai: "You go to formulate a bicycle production standard later, and everyone must follow this standard in the future."

After speaking, he went to see other places in the factory with Zhuge Bin and Tao An.

Many craftsmen also went back to work.

Looking at Su Mu's leaving figure, Wei Liangcai couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Mr. Su is very ambitious."

From what Su Mu said just now, he heard something different.

"Brother, why did you say that? Where did you see it?"

The Momen disciples next to him were puzzled, and one of them asked curiously, not quite understanding.

They only thought that Su Mu's requirements and standards were relatively novel, but they didn't think there was anything special about the others.

Wei Liangcai withdrew his gaze and said with a serious expression: "You have also heard what Mr. Susu said just now. How important is unified standardization for mass production?"

"It can be said that if the production is carried out according to such standards, the quality of the products produced will definitely be better than that of the Ministry of Industry. What does this mean?
The disciples of the Mohist sect were still full of blank faces, they couldn't understand what Wei Liangcai wanted to express at all, and couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

"A bunch of pig brains!"

Seeing this, Wei Liangcai cursed bitterly, but in the end he could only patiently say: "As soon as Mr. Su's unified and standardized point of view comes out, the Ministry of Industry will definitely learn from it."

"Do you think it is possible to produce tools like bicycles with standards that exceed the military industry? I have a hunch that this is just the beginning."

"It's the right time for us to come here this time. We definitely have a better future here than staying at the Ministry of Industry!"

Wei Liangcai's eyes sparkled and his tone was excited.

At the beginning, he just came here with the purpose of learning more knowledge from Su Mu, but now he feels that the future of Lingqi Technology Company is quite bright.

Perhaps here, he can realize his ambition better!

……

The three of Su Mu quickly visited the entire old smelter. Among other things, the place is really big enough.

There is no problem in accommodating four to 500 craftsmen, and the surrounding area is open space, which can be expanded in the future.

Along the way, Su Mu and Tao An chatted, but Zhuge Bin didn't speak much, and seemed a little lacking in interest.

He was hit because Tao An understood Su Mu's words before him just now, and now he is doubting life.

His comprehension ability is actually not as good as that of a vulgar soldier?

Tao An chatted happily with Su Mu at the side, and it was rare for Zhuge Bin to show off his IQ, so he had to show off.

"Brother Mu, I heard from you earlier that you want to sell the first batch of bicycles produced to the ministers of the court?"

As we chatted, the topic turned to selling cars.

Su Mu nodded and said, "Yes, bicycles must be promoted first, and it must start from the top. Only when they start riding bicycles can the trend rise."

Although Su Mu doesn't know much about marketing, he understands the truth that any novelty is popular from the top.

But Tao An shook his head after hearing this: "Brother Mu, you are wrong, you can't do this."

"Those ministers, princes and nobles in the court are not young, and they usually take a horse-drawn carriage when they go out."

"Although bicycles are very novel, they consume energy after all. Brother Mu, it's unrealistic for you to expect them to ride bicycles."

Su Mu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect what Tao An said at all, but it did make sense after thinking about it carefully.

The court officials and ministers are basically over 30 years old, and there are many people in their 60s and [-]s.

As for those princes and nobles, which ones are not pampered, why would they waste their energy to ride a bicycle?His goal positioning at the beginning was wrong.

"So where do you start promoting?"

Su Mu continued to ask, Tao An's brain seems to be very good today. Could it be that the brains of all the soldiers in the world are down?
Tao An said without hesitation: "Of course it is from the academy! Is there a more suitable place than the academy?"

In one sentence, Su Mu was shocked.

Yes!Why didn't he think of it?
Academy is the most suitable place to promote bicycles!

The academy is full of young people who are very receptive to new things, and many of them come from poor backgrounds.

When he went to the academy in a carriage, he could see many academy disciples walking there because they couldn't afford a carriage or a horse.

But bicycles are different. His positioning of bicycles is mass-level, the price will not be high, and he takes the path of small profits but quick turnover, first of all to build a brand name.

Moreover, all the people in the academy are scholars. In this era when the status of scholars is relatively high, no matter what this group does, it is easy to cause trends.

Therefore, the disciples in the academy are undoubtedly the best audience!

"Awesome, you have absolutely no idea."

Su Mu agreed with Tao An's proposal very much, because no matter from which point of view, the academy is the most suitable.

Tao An was proud of himself, and at the same time said to Zhuge Bin next to him, "That's right, I'm not an embroidered pillow like a certain bastard."

"What do you mean, bastard!"

Zhuge Bin gritted his teeth as the blue veins throbbed on his forehead.

Tao An repeatedly waved his hands and said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mention you, I just expressed my feelings, Abin, don't take your seat."

Zhuge Bin was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames.

This is also called not talking about him?
Just pronounce his name directly!

The two quarreled and bickered, and Su Mu had long been used to it. At this moment, he was thinking about a specific promotion plan.

At this time, he also suddenly remembered that the dean seemed to have gone to the back mountain after telling him to go to the academy that day.

He forgot about it...

"Forget it, it's not too late to go again in two days, and then I can just talk to the dean about it."

Su Mu quickly had an idea. The appearance of bicycles was a good thing for poor children, and they could directly cooperate with the academy.

……

On the border of Liyan, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains.

The figure in white appeared again in the sky above Shiwan Dashan. He glanced at the big pit that he stepped out of not long ago, and fell into deep thought.

It feels like stepping on another hole, it looks more well-proportioned.

Just when he was considering whether to do it again, the one-horned tiger king the size of a mountain came from the depths of the Shiwan Dashan stepping on the dark purple flame.

Bai Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you come so fast this time?"

"Come soon, you don't know how many monsters you have to kill." The one-horned tiger king said, and at the same time glanced suspiciously at Bai Yi, "Are you ready to do it?"

"Never mind."

Bai Yi calmly retracted his half-stepped foot, his expression unchanged.

The one-horned tiger king was furious when he saw this: "You are still lying! You clearly planned to do this! Are saints so thick-skinned!"

Bai Yi frowned and said, "Don't worry about the details, I came to you to talk about business."

It's not your human race who died!Of course you don't care!Damn it!
The one-horned tiger king dared not speak out, so he could only suppress his anger and say, "It has been prepared according to your request."

As it spoke, it growled.

Soon, huge figures gathered from all directions of Shiwan Dashan with a demonic aura all over the sky.

There are more than 30 big monsters in different shapes, but each one exudes a fierce and terrifying aura.

But at this moment, they all stared at the white clothes in the sky with great vigilance, with fear that couldn't be hidden in their eyes.

They knew what they were going to do today, but they didn't want to go to Yan Country at all, but since they were chosen by the One-horned Tiger King, there was no room for them to refuse.

Because if you don't go, you will die!
Bai Yi glanced at these big monsters, nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction, they were all genuine big monsters.

"Where did the lion go?"

Noticing that the three golden lions were not there, he couldn't help frowning and looked at the one-horned tiger king.

The latter was just about to speak, but at this moment, an incomparably bright golden light flashed out from the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and turned into a phantom of a thousand-foot golden lion, which opened its mouth and bit down on the white robe!
Under this monstrous power, it seemed as if the world was overshadowed!

Bai Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, a red light emerged from his hand, and then disappeared in his palm in an instant.

The next moment, a scarlet spear fell from the sky, without any fanfare or momentum, it directly pierced the phantom of the thousand-foot lion head, and fell heavily on the ground, shaking the whole ground.

When the dust dispersed, a large pit appeared on the ground, and three golden lions were lying on the bottom of the pit.

One of its heads was pierced by the scarlet spear and nailed to the ground.

Even though its body was as big as a mountain, it was hard to move even if it was pinned down by this small spear.

The figure in white landed on the ground, looking at the three golden lions in front of him, expressionless.

"You want to die?"

The one-horned tiger king also fell down at this time, cursing at the three golden lions in shock and anger: "Why are you crazy!"

Attacking Bing Sheng is simply crazy!

Even he didn't dare to really do that!

The three golden lions grinned in pain, and said with a chuckle, "I just want to test the strength of a human saint. Just kidding, just kidding."

With the Soul Concentrating Grass, his strength has improved a lot.

That's why it wanted to test the strength of Bing Sheng and see how strong this human saint was.

But as soon as it finished speaking, the next moment, Bai Yi reached out and grabbed one of its heads——then ripped it off!
The demon blood was sprayed, dyeing the blue sky.

An ant tore off an elephant's head. How shocking would it be?

The white clothes supported the house-sized lion's head, looking at the screaming and rolling golden lion with indifferent eyes.

It's clearly looking straight up, but it's like a god looking down on the ants.

"Do you think you are qualified to challenge me?"
