Chapter 77 Machines in the Paper Workshop

"Yo, are you back?!"

Katie had a weird smile on her face when she saw Frederick in the restaurant.

"Why don't you play with Maria for two more days?"

Frederick sighed and ate his breakfast in silence.

He also wanted to play for two more days, but he said that the current paper and printing are not the best and can be improved, so he was kicked back overnight by the Grand Duke of Mainz.

There is no other way, they promised to lend a large amount of money at low interest rates to expand the paper mill and printing factory as long as better products come out, and the investors have to listen to their demands.

At the same time, Frederick also confirmed one thing. The mathematics level of the Grand Duke of Mainz is also very sad. The interest rate can only be calculated by ten points and ten points. If he did not propose to subtract two points, it would take him half a day. I don’t know how much the interest is, and then Maria laughed. I guess I’m still playing Monopoly with Maria.

After breakfast, Katie got into the carriage and went to the paper workshop as usual, only to find that Frederick got into the carriage with Tarot.

"Go to my place to play today?" Katie asked him with a smile, "I don't have any pretty girls."

Frederick replied with a smile: "It is enough to have a beautiful big girl."

Katie pinched his face and said, "Then you go to the kitchen."

Frederick was depressed and silent, while Katie and Tarot chatted about the latest clothing trends this spring.

The carriage left the city and came to the river in the distance. From a long distance away, I heard the sound of ding ding dong dong. It was the craftsmen nailing the beams of the house.

The red bricks used in the houses in the factory area are all imported from the neighbor Reese in the southwest. The red bricks fired there are of good quality and cheap, and are sold well in the surrounding areas.

The relationship between Earl Rees and Frederick is very bad. He was the one who got into trouble at the beginning. Later, he followed in the footsteps of King William to block the victims in Wessen. Naturally, he did not sell red bricks to Frederick for the victims. build house.

It’s just that out of the ten knights of the Earl of Rhys in the previous year’s war, only one returned without his left hand. Three sons died and two young ones died. It was unpleasant, the castle was in disarray.

The master has no energy to manage things, and the people below are also active.

At the end of last year, Frederick's businessman Janice secretly hooked up with the butler there, and began to purchase red bricks in large quantities at cost prices on the condition that the other's son go to study at Wessenburg University.

This year, there are more officials from all walks of life that Jennis uses the steward as a transfer. The guild in Lissland even secretly organized craftsmen to go to the north to work, which relieved the pressure on the lack of skilled workers in Wessen.

After getting off the car, Katie went to the construction site to find the foreman to inquire about the situation. She was going to study ink recently, so she didn't care much here.

Fortunately, the master craftsmen here are already familiar with the work and can arrange it by themselves.

Frederick walked around here, and then came to the wooden shed on the side of the test production line.

A lot of people gathered here today, many of them are students of Ogilvy, and they are talking around Koehler beside the two machines.

"What are you selling?" Frederick walked over with a smile. He had met him before and recognized the leader as a student named Schmidt.

"Hey Principal!"

The students greeted Frederick as soon as they saw him approaching.

Frederick waved his hand as a greeting, walked towards one of the machines, patted it, and asked with a smile, "Are you here to promote a new machine?"

Schmidt immediately said with a smile beside the principal: "Yes, yes, we know that you, the principal, value the paper workshop very much. After learning that there is still a lot of heavy and repetitive manual labor here, you specially designed and produced these machines. "

After hearing this, Frederick made a look of ecstasy and said, "Is it for us?"

Schmidt and the others almost cried.

Frederick smiled and began to study the machine.

The main power of this machine is a magic reciprocating machine, which is high torque type from the shape and size of magic muscle.

The main moving parts of the machine are three steel rollers, about 20cm in diameter, 1 meter long, hollow, assembled from several sections, with transverse grooves on the surface to increase friction.

One of the rollers installed on the main shelf is driven by the machine, and the other two rollers are installed up and down on a movable shelf. This shelf can control the magic muscle to move back and forth through buttons to adjust the distance between the two rollers. .

Below the drive roller is a long blade, made of high-strength elemental steel, very sharp.

Below the machine is a conveyor belt that can send things out.

Schmidt asked Frederick with a smug smile on his face, "Principal, do you know what kind of machine this is?"

Frederick smiled and said, "That's right, I actually thought of that."

Pointing to the middle of the three rollers, he said: "Put wood here, and when the machine starts, it can drive the wood to rotate, and at the same time press it to the blade, so that the wood can be cut into thin sheets like cloth."

Schmidt and their faces were full of shock.

"Principal," Schmidt asked cautiously, "it seems that you haven't been to the blacksmith's shop lately? Who told you?"

Frederick gave him a pair of white eyes, and said as a matter of course: "Isn't this very simple, you can see it at a glance."

Koehler also chimed in: "You don't even look at who the principal is, can you compare yourself with him?"

Schmidt and others immediately said: "The principal is wise!"

Then Schmidt said: "Principal, what do you think of such a machine?"

"In the future, it will be easy to cut round wooden sticks, arrow shafts, and even round wooden stakes."

Frederick nodded and said, "It's a good machine. Use it here to accumulate experience first. When you think you can build a factory and produce it, you can come to me and I will give you an investment."

"Thank you, principal, for your cultivation!" Schmidt immediately shouted excitedly, and his classmates were all smiling.

Who doesn't know, if you can get the headmaster's fancy, you can definitely make money.

Frederick said earnestly there: "When you design machines, you must also consider the safety of users. Other workers are here to make money, not to die."

"For example, this machine can add another conveyor belt to put the wood in, so that people don't have to lift it so high and save effort, and secondly, it keeps people away from dangerous places."

"You have to be clear, the people who use it are not as smart as you. You can't imagine how they will toss this machine. I won't be surprised if someone puts a pig into it."

Then the expressions of these guys became weird.

Frederick was taken aback and asked, "Who is so stupid?"

A voice answered: "Professor Ogilvy."

Frederick blinked, pretending nothing happened, turned to look at another machine, and asked, "Is that a slicer?"

Something like the guillotine must be this one.

Schmidt nodded and replied: "Yes, yes, the blade on it will be pressed down as soon as it is activated, and various blade heads can be changed, whether it is cutting wood or paper, it is very convenient."

Parchment books also need to be trimmed after binding. Based on experience, they have created a trimmer that can cut many things.

Frederick went over to look at it and said, "I have two opinions for you."

"First one, add a conveyor belt to the wood cutting machine and connect it directly to the machine over there."

Then he gestured and said: "Secondly, if the machine needs to be manually unloaded, two switches with a wide distance must be used, and they can be activated by pressing them at the same time, so that no one will accidentally touch the switch when unloading. Cut off fingers."

"Like I said just now, be safe!"

Schmidt immediately said he remembered.

Frederick said to them: "I'm going to study a new machine recently, and I need to concentrate my strength, learn first, and then work."

Schmidt immediately asked: "Principal, what kind of machine are you going to do this time?"

Frederick replied with a smile: "This time, we will make history!"

The people around were in an uproar.

Schmidt asked cautiously: "Principal, can you tell me what it is?"

Frederick twitched his lips and said, "Boil the water."
