Chapter 341 Various Problems
Perficott actually doesn’t like to make people into living statues. This method is indeed too bizarre and cruel.
But those profiteers really think that she will not kill people for a trivial matter. After all, this is the steam age equivalent to the 18th century in the original world. What kind of business reputation and professional ethics do you expect those businessmen to have like you? It is equally impossible to ask a priest who has not entered the body of a little boy.
In this era, business ethics are almost non-existent. In order to pursue profits, businessmen do not even care about the lives of workers. How can they care about the lives of consumers?
Especially in this era, the production process itself has some defects that are beyond human control in the eyes of later generations. Processing accuracy, material strength, processing technology, etc. are all in an ascendant stage.
Although it is not impossible to produce good and qualified products, the problem is that not all businessmen have enough bottom line and morals to be willing to pay for the quality of their products and invest more in production costs.
They even hope that workers will work 18 hours a day without going to the toilet or drinking water. While squeezing out the last remaining value, they will also keep production costs as low as possible and dilute them as much as possible. It is conceivable that production costs will increase. What an unacceptable thing for them.
So even with Purficott's terrifying methods and repeated orders, it was still difficult for her to be satisfied with the many spare parts sent.
Of course there are some failures caused by problems with the production process. In this part, Purficott is very generous. Usually he just asks the other party to take it back and rework it, and at the same time, he will also give out the process. Improvement plan.
If it really cannot be improved, Perficott will also ask alchemists and engineers to work together to solve the problem.
But the premise for Perficott to speak easily is that the problem is indeed caused by non-human factors, not human factors, especially problems caused by suppliers who are not serious and perfunctory.
For the former, Purficott is willing to provide help to solve the problem. After all, problems caused by non-human factors cannot be solved by demanding them.
But for the latter, she didn't have a good face.
Being perfunctory is what she cannot accept the most.
Anyone who dares to do this is jumping on her minefield and bottom line, and is still in the close-faced mode.
So for this kind of person, Purficott usually gives a stern warning the first time, the White Bear Knight comes to the door the second time, and the third time he directly builds it into the wall.
The profiteer on the cooling shell of the energy tower is the kind that seeks death.
After the first warning from Purficott, he did not learn any lessons. He still perfunctorily brought in spare parts that did not meet Purficott’s requirements, and insisted on Said there was nothing wrong with this batch of spare parts.
Not only that, he even mocked Perficott: "The current level of craft production can only reach this level. Although you are talented, Lord Earl, you must also consider reality and don't design those It’s so ambitious, but the production level can’t meet your requirements.”
Hearing this, Purficot was so angry that he immediately had people hold him down to the size he sent. The cooling shell of the energy tower was deviated by at least 5%, and then while melting it in, I manually adjusted the size and other process parameters of the cooling shell to meet my requirements.
This guy then became one of the iconic appearances of Chernobog's urban power tower - the wailing profiteer.
In the following years, this also became a famous sight in Chernobog, because whenever Purficott wanted to execute someone, he would pull that person to this wailing in front of the statue of the profiteer, and then used alchemy to build it into the wall. If the crime is not enough to be built into the wall, then steam it alive with high-temperature steam in front of this cooling shell.
But this is all a thing for another day. For Purficott, except for the occasional obstacles caused by these profiteers, there are no other problems.
The overall construction progress of the project is progressing smoothly, and the shaft leading to the underground has been drilled. It is confirmed that there are closed rock formations and geothermal resources underground, and the geothermal cycle can be established through water injection.
Originally, if designed to maximize efficiency, Perficott should have added additives to the water injected into the ground, so that it could expand to twice its original volume, improving the efficiency of heat conduction and workmanship.
However, considering the protection of groundwater, Perficott did not do this. Instead, he designed another heat dissipation system and solved this problem by working hard to improve the heat conduction efficiency in the heat dissipation system. question.
This is also the reason why Perficott tortured these suppliers so much. After all, after changing the design, the requirements for the production process have become higher.
To some extent, it is indeed higher than the common production technology of this era.
However, this is not an unsolvable problem. If the alchemist is responsible for the detailed processing, and at the same time improves the production process and improves the production level, it can meet Purficott's requirements.
Although her requirements are very strict, she is not so demanding that she is inhumane and does not consider the actual situation.
In fact, she has personally visited all the spare parts manufacturers around Chernoborg, and has a comprehensive understanding of the spare parts she needs and the factory's production process, and knows what they can make. There are things they can do even if they work hard, and there are things they can't do even if they work hard.
Under such circumstances, there are still people who are playing tricks on her, passing off substandard products as good ones, and being perfunctory in production and unwilling to invest in cost improvement. Then she has no choice but to recruit these people. The spare parts they sent became part of this energy tower.
Anyway, with her level of alchemy, doing this kind of thing will not affect the efficiency of the energy tower. On the contrary, it will make the construction of the energy tower smoother because of the addition of these "raw piles".
"Befa, give me a cup of black tea, with milk and more sugar." Purficott finally put down his work and prepared to take a good rest.
The intense mental work during this period made her very dependent on sweets. Not only did her daily drinks change from light black tea without sugar to a calorie bomb with milk and a lot of sugar, but also her daily diet changed. It also becomes high in calories and carbs.
This is mainly to satisfy her mental consumption. Although the perfect life form has given Purficott intelligence and physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, her physical consumption is also much higher than that of ordinary people. .
She just hadn't worked such a high-intensity job in the past, so she didn't make her food consumption seem so terrible.
But just when Purficott was about to drink a cup of black tea, which was already considered "milk tea", to relax her nerves, suddenly a white bear knight broke into her office and reported: "It's not good, Lord Earl." , there was a conflict between the workers and the engineers, and they are now going on strike."
