Chapter 70 The Production of Steam Rider
"Three months? Mr. Andrew, I don't like people bragging in front of me." Purficott frowned slightly, showing an unhappy look.
Half a year is what Perficott calculated. It is not a simple matter to produce parts for steam knights.
Whether it is technical or production-related, various problems are not so easy to solve.
Perfect herself tried to make the set of steam knight armor for Foster. Even with the Philosopher's Stone and the All-Seeing Eye, it took her several months to finally make it. A set of steam knights was made.
She didn't think the steel companies in the New World could match her efficiency, so she set aside half a year.
However, Andrew said that it would only take four months, and even if the material problem was solved, it would only take three months. It was difficult not to make Purficott feel that he was bragging.
But Andrew didn’t think he couldn’t do it.
“Your Majesty, the six months you gave is the efficiency of my colleagues, and my efficiency is twice as fast as theirs!” When talking about the business he runs, Andrew’s face was full of confidence: “The traditional steel industry has to go through multiple processes from ore mining and smelting to the processing of final finished steel products, and handles several different companies, which seriously slows down their production efficiency.< br>
But my company is different. From the mining of ore to the final processing of finished products, everything is completed in my company, which eliminates a lot of unnecessary links, which saves us a lot of time. It also greatly improves our production efficiency
If you hadn't listed that these parts need to be processed with special steel, my company does not have the formula for this steel, nor does it have the processing technology to process it. If it takes some time to explore, I can even shorten the construction period. . "
Listening to Andrew's words, Purficott closed his eyes slightly, and after calculating in his mind to confirm that it could indeed be done, he looked at Andrew and said to him: "In that case, I will do it. I can give you the formula of special steel in four months, but after four months I must see seventy sets of steam knight parts!
If I can’t do this, I will delay the fighter plane. You will be punished by military law for the crime, and if you can do it, I will have a bigger business waiting for you. ”
The bigger business that Perficott mentioned naturally refers to the construction of shelters.
You must know that it is a city planned to accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of people. A large amount of steel will inevitably be needed during the construction process.
Based on the previous conversation between Purficott and Andrew, she clearly understood that there was no steel company in the New World that could meet her needs at this time.
If a large amount of steel needs to be mobilized and transported from the mainland, the cost will be too high, and it will easily delay the entire construction period.
So for the sake of convenience, Purficott decided to support Andrew, at least to ensure that he could stably provide the steel needed for his plan in the next three years.
Based on the talent and confidence that Andrew has shown so far, Purficott has a little confidence in him.
If he can really successfully manufacture the parts of the Steam Rider within four months, then Purficott may have more confidence in him.
Of course, full support after that is also included. "Your Majesty, since this is an imperial secret, are you not afraid of leaking it if you leave it to me like this?" Andrew had no intention of eating at this time. He looked at the document in his hand, thinking about how to shorten the construction period, and at the same time worried that he was It's not that I came into contact with something that I shouldn't have come into contact with.
Regarding Andrew's question, Purficott just looked aside, and James came over immediately.
"This is Mr. James. He will be stationed in your company as my representative to ensure that you can complete the production plan on time without leaking secrets." Purficott introduced to Andrew, but she James' identity was not revealed.
Andrew didn’t think there was any problem with this. After all, it was such an important thing, and it was normal for Perfectcott to send someone to look at it.
So he nodded, stood up and extended his hand to James in a friendly manner: "Mr. James, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."
"I hope so. The Steam Knight is very important to the empire. You My job is not easy." James understood why Purficott wanted to bring the production of Steam Knight to the New World, so he also clearly understood that his next work would be very important.
After all, according to Purficott's plan, the empire will eventually abandon its homeland and move to the New World, abandoning its local industrial production capabilities along with it.
So instead of producing the Steam Knight locally and then abandoning or relocating it after three years, it is better to produce it in the New World from the beginning, which can save some resources and improve efficiency.
"It seems that the two of you have reached a consensus, then I look forward to the results of your work." Purficott said, and then told James: "In addition, about the steam knight Production, I hope you will make a practical consideration in site selection, at least not too far away from the forward base I am about to build.
Mr. James, I need you to make sure this is carried out accurately, and I hope you understand what I mean. "
"Follow your orders, Your Majesty. "James understands why Purficott said this, and naturally he will not have any objection to it.
Andrew has just received investment from Purficott, and naturally he will not argue with investors on this kind of matter. Although it seemed that he had to build a new factory and even adjust the company's layout, it was not unacceptable in general.
So he had no objections and just raised it with Purficott. , hoping that she could come forward to contact the colonial authorities and gain some policy support for him.
"I understand, and I will ask a guard knight to go to the Governor's Mansion later. "As the Queen's special and plenipotentiary representative, Purficott has great power. It is not easy to ask the local governor to provide some policy support.
After saying these things, Purficott turned to the two of them and explained her next itinerary: "I came to the New World for the Arctic scientific research plan, and then I will build a research center in the north of the New World close to the Arctic Circle.
Then I will basically stay at the forward base until the beginning of spring. I hope that when I come back, you can give me a satisfactory answer. ”
