Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 812 Chapter 663 Shaping the Industrial System

Colonia, who was recording the discussion, noticed Daxus and immediately raised an eyebrow at the silent observer.

"Arrange a spring rain stone." Daxus nodded first, then turned to look at Karahir beside him and gave the order.

His positioning for Karashir was simple: keep him by his side first, learn while watching, and then decide on his final destination.

If Karahir can demonstrate governance capabilities, he should be assigned to a department related to civil affairs to integrate and manage affairs; if he is better at scheduling and planning, he should be assigned to the logistics department to ensure resource allocation and wartime supplies.

The positioning is similar to that of Bell-El Hall. In the future, this Ainel who came out of Lauren Lauren will probably become a senior Dabu.

One day when I return to Laurent, in front of Queen Marest and a group of Ainir nobles, I can't stop talking about Dacus...

Let the Ainir noble class feel the shock from the Lord of the Eternal Festival.

The pretreatment of iron ore is divided into two parts. The first step of the first part is coarse crushing, that is, crushing with a crusher. The second step is washing, which requires hydraulic washing of some ore containing clay or impurities to remove silt and low-grade impurities through water flow.

Therefore, spring rain stone is needed.

Moreover, the steam engine is now mature and can replace some human labor. In addition to coal, the steam engine also needs water. Although the steam engine can also use water from the swamp, it is better to use the higher quality water, which involves maintenance issues.

Unfortunately, the spring rain stone only produces water, and cannot be used to purify the air, stabilize the humidity of the environment, or effectively reduce dust and improve the working environment of workers. Although it can be upgraded to a dust suppression nozzle, this will lead to many problems.

Just like a small abscess that is full of pus after being picked open, it can't be contained and just flows out. Of course, this problem can be put aside for now, and the Drucci craftsmen can use Klein to deal with it first. When the process is upgraded to a bottleneck, we can go back to study the environmental protection and worker health issues.

As for labor dispatch and consumables...

Using seawater to wash and add water to the steam engine is somewhat against the will of heaven. Not to mention that the Sea of ​​​​Evil will freeze, just pumping up the seawater is a technical job, which also involves the modification of the hull.

The third step is screening. The ore is graded by a vibrating screen to remove fine powder that may block the blast furnace airflow and large blocks that affect the reduction efficiency, retaining uniform particles of 5-30 mm.

The second major part is agglomeration, which is sintering. Fine powder ore is mixed with coke powder, pressed into blocks and then roasted at low temperature to improve permeability and reducibility.

But Daxus didn't show off. One reason was that he really didn't understand, although he had learned a lot... and the other was that he benefited from Hag Graves' high-quality ore.

The main mineral resources of Hag Graves are high-quality hematite, and there are sufficient natural block ore. Most of the ores do not require complicated agglomeration and can be directly screened and put into the furnace.

Sintering is somewhat like taking off your pants and farting.

This workshop is very large and is a three-in-one facility. In addition to iron ore pretreatment, it also carries out coke preparation and limestone pretreatment.

The coal is loaded into a honeycomb coke oven and distilled in an airtight state for 2 to 3 days. When the coal gas and tar evaporate, the remaining solid substance is coke.

When the red-hot coke comes out of the furnace, it needs to be rapidly cooled with water to prevent spontaneous combustion and increase its hardness. This step is called quenching.

Therefore, spring rain stone is still needed.

After this step, the coke is usable, but it can be upgraded for screening and quality inspection.

At this time, the drum screen comes into play!
However, there is no drum screen in this workshop, and the coke preparation process stops at the quenching step, without any further screening or optimization process.

"Can coke preparation be further upgraded?" Daxus thought for a moment and then asked in a deep voice. He planned to do something in this regard.

His voice caused the Vaal priests to stop discussing and think about this question.

"Crush the coke? And then screen it into blocks of specified specifications?" There was a hint of thoughtful silence in the air, and then a Vaal priest spoke first.

As soon as he finished speaking, another priest added thoughtfully.

"The purpose of screening is to ensure that the coke particles are uniform, which requires a device... The best way is to use a drum screen... a drum screen?" His tone was tentative, but soon, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said decisively, "Yes, a drum screen! A drum screen driven by a steam engine!"

He spoke Elsalin with a strange accent and made up a new word.

Daxus nodded slightly, and just as he was about to continue listening to suggestions, another priest excitedly put forward a new idea.

"We can do a strength test... through a drum test? To test the coke's resistance to crushing, to make sure it can withstand the pressure in the furnace without pulverizing. Yes, a drum test! I have an idea!"

Well, in the drum test, another new word and word combination was born. When another new word was created, the atmosphere in the venue became extremely heated.

"Frame, roller, speed reduction system, counting device!"

As the priests discussed with each other and their thoughts collided, a new process was gradually taking shape.

Listening to these excited voices, Dacus smiled with satisfaction, knowing that these Val priests were completely immersed in it. He liked this feeling, the feeling of creation, the feeling of pushing the times forward.

"Mikum, you are responsible for this matter. It needs to have a reasonable structure, easy maintenance and simple operation." He looked at the priest who proposed the drum test and said in a deep voice.

His eyes were filled with unquestionable majesty, as if he was granting a mission.

Mikum was startled for a moment, then he straightened his back, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if at this moment, he was not just a priest, but an innovator who was about to rewrite history.

"When the device is completed, it will be named after you, the Mikum Drum Test!" Dacus said slowly, "I can assure you that your name will be engraved in the history of the elves and written into the children's textbooks."

He can't give patents or anything like that, that's a matter for the future, maybe there won't be any trace of it in the future, and he'll have to go through the design bureau route, but he can still handle other things.

Mikum's breathing was slightly rapid, and the enthusiasm in his eyes was not concealed. He took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

"Can I be in charge of the drum screen?" another priest asked impatiently, fearing that he would miss this opportunity to shape the future.

"Of course!" Dacus said with a smile, and then he drew a bigger picture of the times with his backhand, "The drum screen will be named after you. In addition, I plan to build an independent coking plant, which will be jointly managed by you and Mikum."

Daxus' words were like a spark that completely ignited the enthusiasm of the Val priests. The eyes of those with good eyesight became brighter, and those who maintained traditions also danced with joy, as if they saw that the huge industrial system of the future had been established in their hands.

Daxus now knew that although the Val priests came from a traditional background, their enthusiasm for technology was unquestionable. The reason they maintained tradition before was because no one helped them open the door and let them in.

Give them the stage and they will create miracles.

But this was not enough, he had more arrangements to make. He turned his head, looked at Colonia, and ordered, "Select a sorcerer who is good at advanced alchemy to be responsible for the secondary processing of the by-products, and you will be in charge."

Seeing Colonia nodding and taking notes, he instructed, "Also, select some students with potential in advanced alchemy and have them lead by this sorceress."

He plans to develop two parallel lines, namely the Hecate and Val systems, and perhaps he will introduce the Adaeus system later?

The agreement between him and Adaeus had expired long ago, but he still fulfilled it and completed the side quest, but he just didn't submit it.

After things in Nagarond were arranged, he would have to make a special trip back to Krakarond to have a good talk with the God of Fire. If the God of Fire gave him positive feedback, he would not mind introducing the God of Fire into the working class that had not yet appeared.

"Aunt Carecia!"

"Okay!" Daxus nodded.

Calethia was born into the common people class of Clar Karond. After she reached adulthood, she entered the Tower of Doom to study. She is a representative figure of the southern warlocks. She can be seen everywhere. She helped build the Black Ark and the Disaster Walker Chariot.

Due to her good performance, she married into the Hellbane family. She was the spouse of Dakwus' uncle Khohar and was in charge of one of the raiders during the raid on Morathi.

"Separate the coking process. I plan to build an independent coking plant in Hag Graves."

Dacus was ready to make cakes, but he was not going to build it in Hag Graves. This was not contradictory at all. To be precise, he was not going to build it at the original address of Hag Graves, which was why he did not say anything about asking Draka to set aside a piece of land in Hag Graves.

Although he knew a lot of details, he still sighed sometimes. After all, this was too magical. Apart from the cold and withering, everything else in Naggaroth seemed to be pretty good?
In terms of industry, we have high-quality coal and iron to meet the initial demand, although it needs to be dug deep, not open-pit mines. In terms of agriculture, we have black soil, although it is frozen, we need to dig deep.

The ancient saints had prepared everything that needed to be prepared. If Dacus had not appeared, that would have been the case. But if he had appeared, the situation would have been different.

It seems that everything is destined.

Now, all Daxus needs to do is add some water, that is, to put management in place, establish a suitable system, and, oh, build railways, so as to maximize the potential of Naggaroth.

He had originally planned to build a new Hag Graves near the Blackwater River, but now...

He planned to select the largest of the existing rough arks and move it to Hag Graves to prevent Draka from having nothing to do. He also wanted Draka to build a new, habitable Hag Graves and gradually move the original city population to the ark.

There are many benefits to doing this, such as protecting the indigenous people from pneumoconiosis. In Hag Graves, Klein is an item that only the rich and powerful can afford, because Klein is made of silk.

Besides, it is also convenient for management. After thousands of years of development, the original Hag Graves is like a maze. If you don’t live there for decades, walking on the streets is like being trapped in a maze, and you don’t know how you died. In addition, thanks to the magical operation of the Lehan family, there are still a lot of ruins in Hag Graves, which have not been cleared yet.

There is no need to clean it up, just pull the bricks and stones directly onto the rough Ark.

The coking process is different from the iron ore pretreatment process. Once this is pointed out, there are many explanations. What does this represent? A huge industry? A cake? A system?

As mentioned before, when coal is loaded into a honeycomb coke oven and distilled in an air-tight manner, coal gas and tar will appear, and the remaining solid substance is coke.

Coal gas is the gas stored in gas tanks. The catering industry before the emergence of Naggaroth and the canteens of government agencies, schools, factories, and the military needed fuel, and gas was the most stable fuel.

Tar is even more amazing. After distillation, it can be separated into a variety of high value-added chemicals, including light oil, medium oil, heavy oil and asphalt.

Sandezi and Xiaorizi: Converting coal to oil, I’m good at it!
Hans had the best coal vaporization technology, and Xiao Rizi had the best coal liquefaction technology, of course, this was only for a period of time.

Before Dacus came into this world, the company that did the best in this area was Dazhong, which had become the only country in the world that mastered both types of coal-to-oil technologies and had reached an international leading level.

The Duruchi society does not use oil for the time being, there is no demand, no cars, and no planes, unless it is used to make napalm bombs?

After land vehicles, aircraft and other equipment appeared in large quantities, CH-2 also came onto the stage.

But this does not mean that Duruchi does not need oil.

Light oil can be used to produce polystyrene, which is plastic, synthetic fibers, which is nylon, solvents, and pesticide and pharmaceutical intermediates.

CPC can produce synthetic resins, disinfectants, preservatives for wood, dye intermediates, etc.

Heavy oil can be used to produce pigments such as indigo, tire and rubber reinforcements, and pesticides such as herbicides.

Asphalt is undoubtedly the first choice for paving, and it is also needed for waterproofing membranes and roof coatings.

Aspirin, sulfonamides, pesticides, plant growth regulators, anti-corrosion coatings for pipelines and ships all require further refining of tar. If it is even more extreme, it can also produce graphite electrodes and carbon fibers needed for electric arc furnace steelmaking.

All of this is what the Duruchi society and even the elven society needs.

Tar is like one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, all things bear the yin and embrace the yang, and the rushing qi makes harmony...

What Dacus needed to do was to figure out a point and establish a system and framework. In his cognition, chemistry accounted for a large part of advanced alchemy.

The sorceresses are responsible for chemistry, that is, extraction, separation, and synthesis, while the Vaal priests develop the relevant equipment according to actual needs.

In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with this and it is completely in line with the logic of the development of things.

It started out as a coking plant, but as time went on, a huge chemical industry would emerge in New Hag Graves, and a brand new cake would appear.

As a senior pastry chef, Dacus made another exquisite and delicious cake.

The coke needed for the steel mill was refined in Hag Graves and then transported directly to Naggarond and the Nagorn.

As we all know, Hag Graef is different from Carrond Kar, Nagarond and Clar Carrond. Like Gorond and Har Ganthi, this city was founded on the land of Naggaroth.

After the King's Reach in Ulthuan, the rough Ark will be driven directly to Nagarythe, without the need for any relocation or secondary reconstruction.

Tzeentch? Tzeentch is a bastard!
Dacus said so!

Under the guidance of Colonia, the industrial director, the coking process was passed and the topic turned to limestone pretreatment.

Limestone also needs to be crushed and screened. After initial crushing by a crusher, it is further refined into 10-30 mm particles using a hammer crusher to accelerate the melting reaction.

Moreover, unlike the high-quality coal and iron of Hag Graves, the limestone mined in the open pit of Naggaroth has a high moisture content. After all, the environment of Naggaroth is like this, and it needs to be dried at low temperature in a rotary drying kiln to prevent steam explosions in the furnace.

Now, the limestone in the workshop will be crushed and dried at low temperature, but not refined. In addition, don’t ask why there is such a process as low temperature drying. If you ask, it’s because it has been loved... No, it has been fried!
When a group of Vaal priests took on the work of manufacturing the hammer crusher, it was noon and time for lunch.

It was impossible to go back to Nagarond to eat, as things had not been dealt with yet, and the most important thing had not yet begun. Therefore, at Daquus's insistence, the group finally had an unforgettable workers' meal.

Malekith, who didn't need to eat, sat in the main seat and quietly watched the group of people's expressions that were unable to swallow.

Daxus, who put down his cutlery after taking a few bites, could feel that Malekith was a little unhappy. It was not because Malekith couldn't eat, nor was it because he was angry that the elves deliberately avoided him out of fear, but because he wanted to save face?
His Majesty the Witch King wanted to show the best side of Naggaroth to the guests who came from afar, but the result was... he was slapped in the face.

"Ahem, what do you think about... standardization?" Daxus suddenly asked a question, then lowered his head to continue dealing with the hard-to-swallow food.

He wasn't talking about measurement standards, length, weight, and the like. Please, the elven society already had these, just like the Sovereign and the Golden Dragon, all with unified standards. After all, the elven civilization has been developing for thousands of years, so it's natural that it won't lag behind in this regard.

Colonia, who had a strong appetite, swallowed the bread in her mouth with difficulty while drinking. She looked up at Dacus with a rather strange look, as if she was wondering if her brother was deliberately looking for a topic to torture everyone. Then, she shrugged her shoulders and continued to focus on the food in front of her, leaving the stage for this topic to her brother.

As everyone's eyes gradually focused on Daxus, he slowly put down his cutlery, folded his hands, and gently placed his index finger on his chin. After thinking for a moment, he spoke slowly.

“In my opinion, standardization means making products, services, processes and even the entire system highly consistent, compatible and repeatable by formulating, publishing and implementing unified technical, management or operational specifications.”

His voice was low and steady, and every word was filled with unquestionable certainty. "It is the foundation of collaboration among industry, technology, and society. The ultimate goal is to improve efficiency, ensure quality, reduce costs, and promote deeper cooperation."

Karahir gently put down the cutlery, his eyes flickering, and quickly wrote down the key points in the notebook, writing down new words and word combinations. He knew that Dacus could always come up with some concepts that could not be ignored, and every time he listened, he felt that he was witnessing the formation of a system, which he could not touch at all in Lauren Loren.

"I think the core elements of standardization can be summarized into three points." Daku paused and held up three fingers.

“First, unify the rules to ensure that all parties involved follow the same standards to avoid confusion and inefficient operations; second, the scope of application to ensure that the standards cover key areas and are not superficial but can really play a role; third, dynamic updates, standards are not static, but must be continuously optimized to adapt to technological development and the needs of the times.”

"What are the specific implementation steps?" After seeing that everyone was either in deep thought, confused, or distracted, Colonia finally gave up the food in front of him and began to echo Daxus, raising a crucial question.

"Needs analysis, standard setting, promotion and application, supervision and improvement." He took a sip from his glass, looked at everyone, and laid out the theoretical framework of standardization. "This is my understanding of standardization."

These are the conclusions he came to based on his memory and research with the sorceresses around him. He believes that standardization is very, very important. This is his main purpose for coming to the steel plant, nothing else. Improving processes and procedures is more like a side quest, while establishing standardization is the main quest.

Treatment of workers?

Is it possible that workers' treatment is also being standardized? Standardization involves aspects such as worker recruitment, training, performance appraisal, safety regulations, etc., aiming to improve organizational efficiency and protect workers' rights and interests.

Sandezi has two half-track armored vehicles, namely SD.Kfz.250 and 251.

The 250 is positioned as a light armored reconnaissance and communication vehicle, and the 251 is positioned as a medium armored personnel carrier. Due to the positioning problem, the body lengths of these two half-track armored vehicles are different. The different lengths require the manufacture of two seemingly similar but different chassis.

This is acceptable, after all, the positioning is different.

But this also indirectly leads to the fact that different engines have different engine parts. In addition to the engine, the power system also has a matching gearbox. Different engines must have different gearboxes.

The track systems look similar, but the 251 has larger road wheels and tracks, with a track width of 280 mm, while the 250 has a track width of 240 mm. Although the widths are different, they can be used interchangeably. The logistics department simply cuts and connects the track of the 251 and installs it on the 250. The opposite is too much.

Therefore, the engines, transmission components, suspension parts, body armor plates, and large structural parts are not compatible between the two.

The universal parts are all small items, including electrical components such as car lights and switches, some instruments, standard parts such as bolts and nuts, and universal small parts such as machine gun mounts and periscopes.

The differences between the two, in addition to their positioning, are also related to many aspects, including different systems, companies, bidding, PY transactions and the fact that standardization was not implemented at the time.

If the design is standardized, there is no problem in lengthening the chassis of 251, after all, the positioning is there. But other aspects can be common, starting with the gearbox components, suspension parts, and body armor plates, just like Lincoln and extended Lincoln, Hummer and extended Hummer.

Half-track armored vehicles are okay, after all, there are only two models. Tanks are out of this world, and only derivative models and variants can be used universally. This not only increases the difficulty of battlefield maintenance work, but also increases production costs.

The same is true for shells...

In contrast, the tanks and armored vehicles of the other two belligerents mostly used common parts, which were not only easy to produce but also easy to repair.

It's not so bad on Duruchi's side, after all, there is nothing that needs to be standardized. The Scourgewalker and Cold Ones chariots are actually the same thing. At least the wheels of the chariots produced by Krakarond are unified. The difference between the two is more about the DIY appearance and magic runes.

As we all know, Druki is good at using crossbows, and the production of crossbows can be said to be very strange. At first glance, they look the same, but when you look closely, they are different. After all, from the smallest hand crossbow to the largest reaper crossbow, they are all common goods in Naggaroth, and a whole workshop can make them, just like the appearance and performance of AK-47s produced in different countries are different.

At Dacus's request, military carriages were standardized, with a standard length of 3.5 meters, a width of 1.5 meters, and standard wheels for easy disassembly and replacement.

These are all fine, after all, these are just primary products that haven't even been launched. What he is worried about is the future, so he wants to come up with a standardized framework from the beginning.

"Be more specific. Don't talk about theory, talk about reality." Malekith, who was sitting in the main seat, no longer maintained his previous expression. As he spoke slowly, his metal fingertips tapped on the table, making a crisp sound. (End of this chapter)
