Cylon, shipyard.

The shipyard is one of the heritages left by the two former lords and the only three facilities they managed with their heart. The other two are their respective coffers, which is a matter of course for the pirates.

Because there is no good ship, we can''t catch up with the merchant ship, we can''t use the strong ship, and we can''t play hooligans.

Therefore, although the two former lords were extremely ignorant and greedy, they also knew how to run the shipyard well.

The shipyard is located in a fjord on the southwest side of Sailong island. Its geographical location is very good. The average water depth in the fjord is more than 20 meters, which can be called a natural harbor.

There are mountains on both sides of the Fjord, but a gap of nearly 10 kilometers wide is just left in the southwest corner, which can enter and exit the fjord by land.

This terrain is extremely good for security.

Even if there are medium and large storms in the storm area, the waves will be cut once by the reefs outside the islands, and then cut once again by the fjords, so that even a 1-meter-high small wave will not appear in the fjords.

How to resist the strong wind, especially the strong wind?

A circle of forest around the fjord can play a role at this time. The storm is blocked by them. It is not too much to use the word "calm" to describe the interior of the fjord.

The main facilities of the shipyard include a dry dock and a large hardwood drying plant.

There are also a lot of backward wood processing tools, which are similar to the "juggling" tools of craftsmen, but in the eyes of a mechanical dog Lord, they are useless rubbish and heresy!

Heresy must die!

So with the Lord''s command, his "dogleg" Ronald and a group of people searched away these tools and destroyed them.

Renault''s purpose in doing so is not only to "defend faith", but also to "spread faith". To be exact, it is to force the "heretics", that is, the shipbuilders to "change faith".

Only machines are allowed in my master''s territory!

Renault''s means of "transforming the heretics" are actually quite mild. On the one hand, these craftsmen are the most important assets of the shipyard. It''s wrong to destroy the property at will, isn''t it?

On the other hand, they are also the leaders of the territory. As a kind Master, as long as the leaders do not commit crimes, the Lord is always very lenient.

LORD provided a large number of magic machines for craftsmen, including but not limited to magic woodworking sawing machine, magic woodworking planer, magic woodworking milling machine, magic woodworking lathe, magic woodworking drilling machine, and a number of magic hand drills.

At the request of the Lord, the Institute of Rune also specially assigned several magic mechanics to train craftsmen and teach them to use these advanced machines hand in hand.

Taking magic wood planer as an example, the wood cut by saw machine is put on the worktable. The magic machine drives the planer to rotate at a high speed, while another magic machine drives the wood to feed the planer slowly.

In just one minute, the planer can finish the processing of a 2-meter-long board. The surface of the board is incredibly flat, and no uneven places can be seen.

Even the most skilled craftsmen can never do this. Not only is the flatness obviously inferior, but also the processing efficiency is out of reach. It takes them at least half an hour to finish the work of planer in one minute.

Another example is woodworking drilling machine, whether it is processing through holes or blind holes, the efficiency is also amazing.

Just put the parts right, change the right drill according to the hole diameter, and activate the rune array. The drilling work can be completed in 10 seconds at most between the flying sawdust. Moreover, the hole wall has a halo of high roundness, which is not comparable to manual drilling.

such awesome, so fucking great machine, of course, who knows who knows and who uses whom to say!

Renault has personally operated woodworking machines, and he deeply agrees with this. Most Rune magicians have also used them, and they are willing to support this view by raising their hands and feet. Other people who see the processing process also pour themselves into woodworking machines.

However, to the great surprise of the Lord, the heterodox transformation did not go as smoothly as expected, and different voices were heard from the shipbuilders.

The shipyard is subordinate to the navigation department, and the director is Elon. When Renault heard this from Elon, he was quite puzzled at first.

Woodworking machines are specially developed and manufactured for you. Isn''t it good to save effort?

Isn''t it good to be more efficient?

Good work and fast work mean more rest time. Isn''t that good?

However, there are indeed more than one craftsman who is not good at it. These people seem to prefer traditional woodworking tools and processing methods, but have great resistance to machines.

In the process of narration, Elon also mentioned that the craftsmen of the opposition are generally older than before, which makes him suddenly surprised.

It''s not hard to understand. When you see that you are proud of your craft, praised by your colleagues and admired by your apprentices, and you don''t fart in front of the machine, you will naturally feel a great sense of loss and then a strong anger.Can we not be angry?

The hard work of the first half of my life has been done on the dog, and the skills I have learned have been completely abandoned overnight. Of course, I will be resentful.

But no one dares to come up with the idea of destroying machines, such as the workers of the earth in the 19th century.

Because the concept of superiority and inferiority in the alien world goes deep into everyone''s bone marrow. The authority of the superior is inviolable, and the property is inviolable. All machines are the personal property of the Lord. Dare you try?

In addition to the issue of dignity, there is a more serious issue - interest.

According to the style of handicraft practitioners, value has always been directly linked with craftsmanship. The better craftsmanship, the greater value, the higher salary.

However, the appearance of woodworking machines has greatly reduced the value of craftsmanship and seriously violated the interests of the opposition.

Can they not worry? Can you stop worrying?

Therefore, it is essentially a matter of interests.

So hostility came into being.

This is a very normal thing. No matter on the earth or in other places, there will be winners and losers in any change.

In the transformation of shipbuilding industry, these craftsmen are typical losers.

After understanding the real reason, Renault let Elon take charge of the matter, while he left behind the sentence "promote others, clean up the leader" and left.

this gentleman is busy with things, so he is too lazy to care about such trifles. A few woodlouse craftsmen even want to resist the tide of the times.

Hum, those heretics who are not willing to "change their faith" will not come to a good end.

Elon is sophisticated and has no shortage of means and mind. Renault believes that he will carry out his Lord''s will to the letter.

What''s more, Renault has already pointed out the "key points" - promoting others!

Where there are human beings, there will be disputes. Since there are losers, there will be corresponding winners.

If not, it is necessary to foster a few people who take the initiative to meet the change. In order to safeguard their own interests, these people will also take the initiative to crowd out the frustrated without any command.

As for the leading craftsmen, it is the minimum to drive them out of the shipyard directly. There will be more means in the future. If they dare to disobey the will of the Lord, they will naturally pay a heavy price.

In this way, we can kill chickens to show monkeys and frighten others, which is also in line with the principle of "carrot with one hand and stick with the other". Secondly, we can control the turbulence to a minimum.

After all, shipbuilding industry belongs to heavy industry, and the requirement for experience is very high. It''s not easy to pull people on the street and train them for a few days. The experience of opposition craftsmen is very valuable.

At this time, in the dock of the shipyard, a large wooden ship with a length of more than 55 meters is lying in the middle of the dock. This is a semi-finished ship. At present, it has only an open hull and has not yet laid a deck.

This is the unfinished ocean tide.

A lot of scaffolds were built around the hull, and there was a huge gantry crane above.

At this time, craftsmen, workers, navigational staff and island guards were standing near the hull.
