Chapter 195 Implementation
Dorothea thought for a while and asked another question:
"What about the speakers of the two chambers?"

"Elected by members of parliament, like the previous speaker of the alliance meeting, does not have any additional powers, only has the power to arrange and maintain the meeting as normal."

"So decide."

Dorothea saw that there was no special change in the speaker, and the council seemed to be quite easy to control, so she agreed to the idea.

"Then what about His Majesty's second request?"

Xia Lin then asked.

"The second point... Viscount Xia Lin, I hope you will hand over the gun factory to the royal family, and all the craftsmen and employees in it will be included in the ranks of royal craftsmen. For this reason, the royal family can pay a sum of money to buy your factory and craftsmen. "

When mentioning this topic, Dorothea looked into Xia Lin's eyes and said seriously.

"..."

"Your Majesty, I don't think it is necessary for you to do this."

Xia Lin had expected such a day a long time ago, but she was not too surprised or indignant, and persuaded her in a calm tone.

"The new weapon must be in the hands of the royal family."

Queen Dorothea refused to back down, and said firmly.

"But how useful the new weapons in the hands of the royal family can be, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it? As far as I know, there are hundreds of skilled craftsmen in the royal industry, and these craftsmen produce a large number of weapons for the royal family in the workshop. product.

But there are more than 100 craftsmen who can transform into guns, which is considered a lot. Even if the personnel of the current gun factory are added, the daily output will be maintained at [-] rounds of bullets per day, about [-] pieces. Rifle, the degree of two to three artillery pieces.

And your idea is to arm most of the legions in the empire with new weapons, regardless of other factors such as cost. To do this, such an output is absolutely not enough, at least [-] rounds of ammunition per day, that is Enough for [-] soldiers, which is just enough for half a division of soldiers to train for a day.

At that time, you will inevitably have to expand the scale and cooperate with other forces, such as various artisan guilds or chambers of commerce.

In this case, what is the difference from leaving the gun factory in the R&D center?You should admit that the royal craftsmen are definitely not as sensitive to industry as the creator, me.

At present, I am still asking Master Fine to develop a firearm that can fire in quick bursts, and a grenade that can throw grenades and explosives.

When these things are developed, more new weapons will be included in the research and development goals, so that the new army can form a stronger firepower advantage over the knights on the battlefield. Could it be said that His Majesty only needs rifles and breech-loading artillery, not these things? Yet? "

Xia Lin naturally knows that guns are new weapons that can change the current war mode, and Queen Dorothea attaches great importance to them, but relying on controlling all important industries under the royal family to ensure the advanced technology and dominance of the royal family, From Xia Lin's point of view, it's all about chasing after the end.

"This……"

Dorothea was at a loss for words for a while, and suddenly remembered that her father asked her to deliver the new steelmaking technology to the royal craftsmen, but up to now, the royal craftsmen can only complete the production with the help of technicians sent by the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

"What you said also makes some sense. Then, Viscount Xia Lin, you should follow the previous treatment of the new steelmaking technology and help the royal family build a gunpowder factory and a gun factory!"

Thinking of this, Dorothea calmed down and took a step back. Instead of forcing the gun factory to complete the relocation, she chose to ask the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce to share these important technologies with the royal family.

"There is no problem with this, but Your Majesty, industrial production is an extremely complicated matter. I think the royal workshop must also strengthen the implementation of the management system, otherwise I cannot guarantee the normal operation of the factory established."

Xia Lin nodded and reminded.

Previously, with the help of the technicians sent by the steelmaking factory, the royal craftsmen quickly established the royal steelmaking factory and the electric arc furnace in just a few days, but the trial production has not been successful.

According to the report submitted by the dispatched technicians, Xia Lin speculates that the royal craftsmen may not adapt to this industrialized production system. Now, it is considered to have fulfilled her responsibility to remind Queen Dorothea if something goes wrong. Don't blame yourself.

"I'll pay attention."

"Then I need your permission for one more thing, Your Majesty. I hope that the various proposals passed at the previous alliance meeting can be implemented in the empire as soon as possible, including the metric system weights and measures promotion, research and development centers, patent proposals and so on.

These proposals are all for the purpose of industrialization. Originally, the promotion by the power of the alliance was relatively slow. Only the patent proposal has been relatively well implemented. I hope that His Majesty will attach great importance to the first two matters. "

Seeing that Dorothea didn't seem to have any more requests, Xia Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to express her thoughts.

"There is no problem with the first two. I will continue to let the alliance cooperate with you. I think the matter of the patent bill may need to be re-voted by the members after the parliament is established."

Dorothea said with some embarrassment that the patent proposal allowed the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce to earn a fortune from the share of the industrial park, and then received a huge amount of extra income. There were many chambers of commerce whose interests were affected by this in the business alliance before. Dissatisfied with this, Dorothea did not dare to force it.

"Your Majesty, not only the alliance, I hope that all the guilds in the imperial capital can also cooperate with the implementation of these two proposals.

Especially for the research and development center, I need the full cooperation of the mage guild and the alchemist guild to develop a key alchemy item as soon as possible. With this thing, our power will undergo earth-shaking changes! "

Xia Lin said to Queen Dorothea with a serious expression.

"What it is?"

Queen Dorothea couldn't help asking curiously when she saw Xia Lin's seriousness.

"Magic engine! A new type of machine that uses the magic power in the magic stone to drive various machines. With it, we can create carriages that can run without being pulled by horses, and ships that can sail without sails. Then carefully select a suitable location by the Seine River to build a factory.

At that time, the growth of our strength will be incomparable! "

"Magic motive?"

Dorothea imagined the things in Xia Lin's description, and a little doubt appeared on her pretty face.

"That's right! Magic Motive!"

Charlene paused, organized his language and continued:

"Your Majesty, I explained to you the concept of productivity before. The meaning of productivity is the ability of human beings to transform the natural environment. In the process of human beings transforming nature, one of the most critical areas is the revolution of the power used to drive various production tools. .

From the earliest times, people have used their own power, which is called human power, to drive various tools.

Later, we domesticated all kinds of livestock, using cattle and horses to cultivate, pull mills, pull carts, and recently, hydraulic power was used in the factories I designed.

The changes that have taken place have also transformed our productivity step by step, but these dynamics have their limitations.

Human power is not as powerful as livestock, and livestock is not as stable, reliable and cheap as water power, but water power has the disadvantage that it must be built near water.

The magic motor I imagined does not have the disadvantages of these powers. It can provide stable, efficient and convenient power to drive the operation of various machinery and equipment needed in our industry. Unprecedented changes! "
