Chapter 489 August Gerd
“Is this the so-called flying shuttle loom?”
In a factory building in a weaving field, Gerd. Rodney's eyes focused on the shuttle flying back and forth.
He has been in the Northwest Bay for nearly a month and visits various factories almost every day.
As the shuttle goes back and forth, a piece of cloth is rapidly being formed on the machine.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
As an escort, Paul stood next to Gerd Rodney and confirmed for him.
Gelder said with emotion: "It's a very exquisite gadget. Even in the eyes of a layman like me, its principle is not complicated. I didn't expect that such a simple improvement would make the cloth The efficiency of production has increased so much.”
Paul echoed: “Many technologies are not very sophisticated. They are just waiting there quietly, lacking someone’s bright idea. "
Gelder said with some pain: "Since it is so simple, then I don't need to give you so many shares. You can just take a look here and go back to summon craftsmen to copy it. "
"Oh! You can't say that, Lord Gerd."
Paul raised his eyebrows, "If we have good cooperation, you can also enjoy our future technology upgrade services."
"Technical upgrade?"
"Yes, whether you believe it or not, in my laboratory, there is more advanced technology than what you see. If the technology in front of you If someone steals the technology, I will immediately upgrade my technology and use higher production efficiency to drive the person who stole the technology out of the market. Partners who follow the rules can enjoy the benefits of upgrading together.”
"You are very confident, Count Grayman."
Paul spread his hands and looked confident, "I'm so confident."
"Okay!"
Gelder did not continue talking on this issue.
He looked at Paul: "So, was it you who had the bright idea about the shuttle technology? Count Greiman."
Paul smiled shyly and spoke with humility. He said in a tone of voice: "Although it is below, the completion of the specific details still depends on Mr. Guy Burns and his colleagues in the machinery factory."
"Guy Burns? Wait, I think I've heard of this name."
Something suddenly flashed in Gerd's head, and then he fell into memories.
"Guy Burns? Burns... Burns..."
He kept mumbling.
Paul was smiling and waiting for him to recall whether Guy Burns was from the royal capital or from a noble family. Count Gerd knew that he still had a high possibility.
But he didn't intend to remind Gerd that sometimes it was fun to recall some vague memories.
"Haha, I remember." Gerd patted his forehead.
“One of Jingyao’s magicians, although his ability is relatively mediocre, has a unique style of doing things. He is unwilling to make toys for the nobles, and teaches his skills to children from poor families. In the end, he was killed by Jingyao. The artificers united to resist, and they couldn't survive in the local area and found another job elsewhere. Ah... Count Grayman, is your Guy Burns from Jingyao? There are still a lot of people.”
Paul laughed and said, “I think it’s Mr. Guy Burns. The experience he told me is exactly the same as what you just said. But I disagree with that assessment of mediocre ability. Many of the equipment I have here were completed by Master Burns." Gerd was very surprised, "Is it possible that his ability is very good? ”
"Oh! Lord Earl." Paul waved his hand, "You also said that the magicians in the royal capital are keen on making [toys] for the nobles. Master Burns disdains such things. His ambition is to make toys." [Big thing], just like the flying shuttle loom in front of you, a machine that can increase production efficiency exponentially."
Paul continued to tease: "Haha, it seems that the nobles of the royal capital. I lost a great talent, but forced him to the northwest bay. Just imagine, if he had continued to stay in the royal capital, maybe I would have gone to the royal capital to buy technology and machinery from you, Count Gerd."
Earl Gerd raised his right hand in front of his eyes, rubbed his thumb and fingers, and said with a smile: "You still need a little flash of ideas, right?"
The two looked at each other. The other party laughed.
After finishing laughing, Paul asked: "Master Gerd, are you also interested in mechanical technology in your daily life?"
"Why do you ask?"
"You were very clear about Mr. Burns's deeds just now, and I feel that you are an...[insider]."
"Oh! It's not because of me. "Interested in mechanical technology"
Gelder answered honestly: "Actually, it's because my brother is very interested in machinery. I heard about Mr. Burns's deeds from him. He is... in your words, half an [insider]."
"Your brother?" Paul asked: "Mr. August? ?”
"It's August."
Gelder replied: "He is a person who is very interested in machinery and other things. Has he been going to your machinery factory and agricultural machinery factory every day recently? I miss him. I have recognized Guy Burns a long time ago. They should have met when they were in the capital."
Paul nodded: "That's it, no wonder he knows about Burns."
< br>Gelder looked at the flying shuttle loom in the workshop again, a kind of affection appeared on his face, "My brother, he is a person with both interests and talents. He often talks about it. If he were not born into the royal family, he would definitely be an excellent locksmith. This also made him often laughed at by other nobles - after all, he was born into the royal family, but he is still passionate about it. "
At this time, Gerd's face showed a little helplessness again.
Paul smiled, "Your brother is really an interesting person. I know that an emperor liked to be a carpenter, so this is not too much."
Gelder smiled back, and he added what Paul said He took it as a word of comfort, so he didn't ask which carpenter emperor he mentioned in history.
He continued: "My brother's talents have been used. Do you know the guillotine?"
Paul: "Ah? The guillotine? Our lords here usually use hangings. Yes, but I know what a guillotine looks like."
Gelder: "Over in the capital, the knives used in the previous guillotines were square, and their blades were parallel to the table below. , but a chopping knife of this shape will curl up after being used a few times, and it will be troublesome to resharpen the knife. ”
Paul: "Let me guess, your brother - August - solved this problem?"
"Yes." Gerd smiled again, "Guess he How did he solve it? He changed the chopping knife into a triangle, and the blade was slanted, so that it would be less likely to curl."
"So, this is a simple but effective idea. .”
Paul admired sincerely.
