Him and their stars.

Chapter 260 Production Self-Saving
"In short, because this set of machines is broken, you can't refine the Tyrone Mine." Yu Lian checked the machine, nodded and said: "Indeed, this should be the assembly line designed by Alliance Forge Heavy Industry. The main core... should be the Hirsch furnace."

The so-called Hirsch refers to the name of the sun god, the main god in the classical mythology of the Alliance when it was still on the mother star, and later it means "sun" in the Alliance language.

Ever since, this kind of furnace can also be called a solar furnace.

Babaru nodded: "Actually, there is also a problem with the mother machine of the automatic mining drone. And we don't have much money to maintain, so the mining machine can't move, but this is a small problem. The big deal is that our workers are carrying power hammers. Go down to the well with the energy pickaxe to dig. If the solar furnace is broken, there is really no way."

The two walked out of the factory building while talking, and soon came to the outdoors.In front of him stood a large machine more than ten meters high. At first glance, it looked like a tall tower spliced ​​with steel bars, pipes, and round metal cans. It had the aesthetic feeling of a large industry.

Judging from the structure, this thing looks like a large blast furnace, but it is also the most sci-fi blast furnace Yu Lian has ever seen.

He also knew that what was exposed to him now was actually only its above-ground part.The real main body is underground, forming a huge automated ore refining system.

This is the solar furnace of the Red Maple Factory. The super machine with a volume of more than 10000 cubic meters is the most stalwart giant in the hearts of the workers of the Red Maple Factory.

"How beautiful! Isn't it?" Babaru looked at the sleeping sun furnace, and sighed like a pilgrimage.

"Much more magnificent than Naluoshizi's sky god!" He added.

The first sentence is pure emotion and praise, while the second sentence contains obvious resentment and sarcasm.

Yu Lian looked at Babaru behind him with great interest, and felt a sense of confidant for this young Lumina worker who did not leave too prominent a life for later generations.

"You really don't look like a typical Lumina." Yu Lian laughed.

Babaru was slightly taken aback, and then said helplessly, "That's because the typical Lumina people you've seen are not so typical."

He then explained to Yu Lian that the Lumina people are actually a very rural ethnic group.It is precisely because of this that when the expansion plan of the management of the Red Maple Factory is bound to destroy the vast maple leaf forest, it is of course difficult for everyone to accept it.

The Lumina people are indeed a race with abundant martial arts.Before humans discovered this planet, there were some tribes who lived in forests or lakesides and lived by shooting and hunting. They used hunting a Lumina moa or a lake crocodile as a coming-of-age ceremony.

Naturally, it's a team job.The Lumina moa and the crocodile are fierce predators with an average of more than one ton. It is impossible for ordinary people to really defeat each other with only cold weapons.

Later, it was spread that all Lumina people must kill a moa with bare hands to be considered an adult, otherwise they will be thrown into the mountains as bird feed.

"These are some nonsense rumors! If this is true, the Lumina people would have become extinct thousands of years ago! Most of the Lumina people, anyway, I don't think there is much difference from the people on Earth! Eat, sleep , work, marry a wife and have a baby! Of course, we really like our hometown, so it’s not like you humans like to go and hang out there!”

The Lumina worker leader pointed to the sky, and Yu Lian knew that the other party was referring to the universe.

Now that I think about it, there are indeed very few crew members born in Lumina.In this era of the universe, there are actually quite a few intelligent races who are so attached to their homeland. They may display outstanding talents in all walks of life, but they are also destined not to become the protagonists on the big stage of the universe.

"As for the so-called god of the sky... Hey, even a thousand years ago, before humans came, there were only some tribes worshiping gods, and somehow it became the god of all our Lumina people. God, of course. Of course, the brains of those who are doing things outside are not clear, so I need to say something? Yes, anyway, the Lumina people you have met outside are all... there is something wrong here! "Babaru pointed to his head again.

He added: "What does their terrorist activities have to do with us ordinary people in Lumina who live in peace! Yes, the tribes in the eastern Great Plains and the southern bays, although they will not listen to you big men , but most of them are just serious herdsmen, farmers and fishermen!"

Yu Lian felt that this was quite reasonable.After he arrived at the Red Maple Factory, he had dealt with many Lumina people.Generally speaking, these four-armed praying mantis people who look very fierce, perhaps because they are naturally brave and strong, are indeed a bit irritable, but they are really not what the outside world imagined. natural anti-system elements.

They value their family, their homeland, and nature.Also, it's good to make friends.

Because of this, the Lumina workers here will really regard the Red Maple Factory and Maple City as their homes that they must protect.

"...So, even the most valuable Tyon Mine here can no longer be mined. You don't want to leave!"

"Everything here was built by us bit by bit. However, many people left. If the solar furnace doesn't work again, I don't know what the future will be like." Babaru said helplessly.

When the solar furnace stopped working, the engineers at the factory did try to fix it.However, on the one hand, this thing is really expensive, and the technicians really dare not make big moves; on the other hand, this kind of solar furnace is a fairly sci-fi device after all, and the internal structure is so complicated that ordinary engineers can't understand it. Let alone repairs.

No way, since I can't fix it myself, of course I can only find the manufacturer.

After all, the capitalist who is desperate for money is not Hans who is full of craftsmanship. It is impossible to bury brand new spare parts wrapped in oiled paper decades ago.

Furnace Heavy Industry said that the warranty period has passed for several years, and many of the key components have reached the end of their service life.In addition, as the equipment manufacturer, they are not responsible for equipment damage caused by the user's own "carelessness".In addition, if you want to conduct a preliminary investigation, you need to reimburse the engineer's travel expenses and board and lodging expenses.

They provided Hongfeng Factory with a list of engineers, and the scale was not like repairing a stove, but more like demolishing a house.

Of course, there is also a bill that the predecessors of the Red Maple Factory at that time still feel shocked when they think about it.

This is just a preliminary bill.Just a preliminary check, is that much overhead?In addition, do these people have to have such a high standard of accommodation?Each meal will have eight snacks, eight cold dishes and eight hot dishes, and a special transport ship will be opened for them to carry ingredients and purified water from the alliance.

When Duke Tannhauser was still there, he wasn't so extravagant, right?
However, Furnace Heavy Industry said that the initial inspection is of course worthless, but knowing where to start is quite valuable!
In addition, more than [-]% of the Lumina planet belongs to the unopened "wilderness area" defined by the Galactic Civilization Council. Who knows what unknown parasites and viruses will be there.In order to protect the basic right of survival of Union citizens, it is reasonable to carry clean drinking water, right?

In short, just want to come to be an engineer, what should be the standard of living and treatment, back and forth for five or six years.

On the one hand, it was because the profiteers of the alliance were really difficult to deal with, and on the other hand, it was because the Red Maple Factory was pulling their hips.

There is no way, since the day when the Red Maple Factory was established, the property rights have not been too detailed.The central government of the earth owns a part, the government of the distant star region owns a part, the military owns a part, and the rest belong to the Lumina tribe who participated in the construction and uprising at that time.But who has the final say and who is the largest shareholder has never been clearly stated, let alone implemented in legal documents.

It's okay for everyone to talk about making money, but when you have to pay and are still losing money, the problem is very serious.

The workers felt that it was not an option to go on like this, so they pooled a sum of money and always invited the team of engineers from the alliance.

The (da) technicians (ye) from the alliance stayed in factory A for a month. After eating stewed crocodile meat and moa custard, they wiped their mouths and told everyone in the factory: "It's hopeless! , if it can’t be repaired, replace it with a new one.”

"If the most important Orsay core is damaged, it will not be able to supply energy to the solar furnace. Do you understand? Well, let's put it this way, an ordinary blast furnace powered by electricity will generate a high temperature of over 1000 degrees, and it will be able to treat ordinary iron The ore has completed preliminary smelting. However, Tyrionite is different. It needs not only more than 6000 degrees, which is equivalent to the high temperature on the surface of a young and middle-aged star, but also must neutralize its own magnetic reaction. Therefore, in the sun Inside the furnace, not only high temperature is required, but also a controllable magnetic field... This requires the control of the Orsay core. However, this control core is one of the core engineering secrets of the alliance, and direct maintenance is impossible. Order a new one. In addition, because of your non-compliant operation, the RP72 pipeline is seriously aging, and you need to replace it with a new one. In addition...

"So, do you understand what I said? It doesn't matter if you don't understand, anyway, just do what we say! New solar furnace, new production line, new roar, and then another car It's the top-ranked Twisted superconducting alloy! Do you understand? It's all money!"

Babaru said that if he had been there at the time, he would have shot the guy's dog's head off with one shot.

However, the new manager of Hongfeng Factory, the general manager representing the interests of the new shareholders, directly expressed his opposition.

"The Red Maple Factory is not so rich yet! We just took office and faced such a loss. I really can't explain it to the investors!"

The well-dressed general manager whose name is not important said so.

Yes, after a long period of dragging and pulling, the community government and the far coast star region government really can't tolerate the loss of this factory.What's more, the era of the Revolutionary War is over, and it's time for everyone to return to their places.The government is the government, and things like business management should be left to professionals.

Ever since, the part of the shares belonging to the government was sold by a private company in the community with a huge sum of money, and also obtained the right to operate and manage.

In addition, I don't know who the private boss went through. The government also exerted some pressure on the military, and the military representatives stationed in the Red Maple Factory also withdrew.

As for the military industry that originally belonged to the Red Maple Factory, it has been relocated a few years ago.

Without the restraint of the government and the military, the representatives of the private investors probably feel that facing a group of rough workers and the uneducated Elder Lumina, this company, and even this planet, is enough for them to do whatever they want up.

So, the personable Mr. General Manager of Oily Noodles made another suggestion.

"Since it can't be refined anymore, let's sell the mine directly!" He said.

"I have invited geologists to investigate, and the quality of our ore here is very good! And I am also in contact with the Deep Space Mining Group, it will cooperate with us to build our own, professional mineral transport fleet !"

In terms of business and business, from the perspective of a profit-seeking operator, this guy's thinking can't be said to be wrong.After all, in Yu Lian's hometown in his previous life, one could get carried away with abundant resources.A country that does not grow maple trees but hemp (meow) hemp, and a country whose ancestors are exiled criminals, are as small as they are by selling resources.

"...Hey, I used to think that all the military representatives were idiots! Now that I think about it, it's good to have military representatives here, at least they won't let these profiteers do whatever they want!"

"He doesn't dare to do whatever he wants! Didn't you rebel again soon?" Yu Lian laughed.

Babaru also laughed, he has always regarded this as the glorious history of the factory.

He took it for granted: "Because my master's master said that we are glorious smelter workers! If we only live by buying the inheritance left to us by the spirit of the universe, sooner or later we will become addicts and rape (meow) A rapist!"

Master Babaru's master is actually the chairman of the earliest worker self-government committee in the Red Maple Factory, an old human worker named Tom Wise, and one of the leaders of the uprising army composed of workers in the Red Maple Factory.

This is also a name buried in the long river of history, but it is also an ordinary hero.

It's a pity that the old man passed away five years ago, otherwise Yu Lian really wanted to pay a visit.

All in all, under the leadership of Mr. Wise, the worker leader at the time, the Red Maple Factory went on strike.

In fact, the workers at that time were actually isolated and helpless.The management is the representative of the management and their enemy; and the rebel army composed of Lumina cultists who worship the "God of the Sky" is also trying to attack the city and the factory area.

"Humans have deceived us! Their machines, their tall buildings, their cities, their railways are all symbols of evil! Destroy them and return to our real life!" Lumina rebels said so.

"It's just being pulled in the head by the moa!" the old workers said.So he started to prepare for the factory's own self-police team.

On the other hand, the management representative finally couldn't hold on anymore.The company has been unable to generate profits for a long time, and all business plans have been disrupted by the workers. Coupled with the occasional small-scale attacks near the urban area, who can survive this?

Ever since, they left Lumina in despair.It's been almost ten years now.

But since then, Hongfeng Factory and Fengcheng seem to have been forgotten until today.

Babaru was a little disappointed.Under their feet is the rich reserves of Tyrion ore, but it cannot be turned into actual benefits now, which is equivalent to guarding the mountains of gold and silver and begging for food.

"We don't want to beg for food. How can the children of the Red Maple Factory be so worthless!" The worker leader of Lumina said loudly: "My master took everyone to open up wasteland and farm, and my senior brother went hunting in the mountains. What about me... or Organize everyone, mine what should be mined, and what should be produced! Although there is no way to refine the Tyrion Mine, the iron, copper, etc. can still be used! The equipment left by the former Duke Tannhauser is still there. We also built a few blast furnaces ourselves, which can still produce iron. The supporting factories 4 and 5 can produce tools and simple machines, which can be traded with other tribes, and the basic life of the whole city can still be maintained. "

This is also the same as what Yu Lian understands.Beginning with Mr. Wise, several labor leaders are doing their best to maintain order in the city.

This is completely production self-help!Yu Lian was really in awe of this worker leader.

However, he also knows that it is impossible to maintain this industrial city for too long with the production and trading model of the agricultural era.

Therefore, the key to everything is to make the solar furnace work.Let those Tyrion mines buried in the ground become a superconducting material that makes the whole universe happy!
"So, do you know how to repair the solar furnace?" Babaru asked with expectant eyes.

"I'm sorry! I don't know." Yu Lian shrugged with a calm face.
