The first model of the steam engine was determined like this.

Because it was a wood burner, it was named Faralin Wood No. 1 by Martin.

The application range of this thing is still a little small, and it can be used in the processing of metals such as copper, iron, and textiles.

Next, we need to gradually improve these production environments by relying on craftsman sequences so that the steam engine can adapt to different production needs.

The textile factory opened by Martin today will be the first factory to use steam engines as power.

All textile machines have been modified by Glace and can be driven by steam engines.

Martin and Glace made a preliminary estimate that the production efficiency of linen in the new textile mill is more than ten times higher than that of artificial textiles!

Of course, this does not mean that the textile mills do not need workers anymore.

Textile machines still need to be taken care of by the weaver, but the workload has become very easy.

In addition, the steam engine also needs specialized care, add fuel at any time, and control internal pressure not too high.

The next plan is to wait until Martin finds the coal mine and put the steam engine on the transport tool.

The next plan is not just coal mines, but Martin also needs other ores.

Limestone used to make cement, copper ore used to make weapons, coal mines used to act as dyes, and some rare metals with unique uses...

Gaph’s metal minerals are many, including gold, silver, copper and iron, and are concentrated at the foot of the Snow Mountains of Siwa.

Next to Annu Fortress are two iron ore mined.

In addition, there is also a copper mine about ten kilometers west of Faralinburg.

These minerals are in the hands of the Temple of Craftsmen.

Most of the metal minerals are used to provide the temple of artisans in all Gapher.

Of course, in addition to its own consumption, the Temple of Craftsmen also shoulders the responsibility of making various metal utensils.

For example, soldiers' armor and weapons, farmers' cultivation tools, common people's daily life utensils, and most important things - currency, etc.

After thinking about it for a moment, Martin knew that there was a lot of exchange of interests involved.

Simply put, the entire metal mineral of Gapher is owned by the Temple of Craftsmen, including gold mines.

No matter who discovers or on whose territory the minerals are, they can only be mined by the Temple of Craftsmen.

However, the Temple of Craftsmen is not so many people, so it is impossible to do everything yourself.

So they often outsource mining work to some merchants or lords, provide some technical support, and directly take away the refined metal minerals from them.

This has also created a win-win situation, and has received strong support from these merchants and lords.

Martin specially asked the Count and Times Group for two days off, and the most important reason was to find various mineral veins!

...

At 11:00 noon, Martin came to the west of the city.

Three very unique textile factories have been renovated.

The original textile workers also received some simple training and were able to easily operate the mechanical devices.

After the steam engine is installed, the factory will officially start construction.

Looking at the large equipment in the factory, the textile workers were a little worried.

Time is tight, and Martin really has no time to take care of the emotions of these workers.

I believe that after running for a while, they should be able to adapt.

As for those who cannot adapt, they will naturally be eliminated.

Martin is not the kind of black-hearted businessman.

You can respect the natural law of survival of the fittest.

Although it is for the benefit of the common people, the method of raising idle people is absolutely not advisable.

Besides, Martin's payouts are much richer than other textile mills, and it is worth the efforts of these people to seize the opportunity.

These three textile factories with advanced productivity will soon occupy the living space of other artificial textile factories on the market.

Unless they choose to buy the same equipment from the Temple of Craftsmen to transform the factory, they will soon lose the competition and go bankrupt.

In fact, Martin also hopes to use this catfish effect to force these factory owners to reform.

But he also knew very well that this was a bit wishful thinking.

Martin doesn't think they'll be willing to use a lot of money to upgrade the factory.

Faraline's textile industry has actually been written.

All of them were annexed by Martin and Earl, and finally became a monopoly industry.

Martin was not worried that they dared to retaliate because they were passive.

First, the textile mill is hung under the Earl's name.

Secondly, the Craftsman Temple also participated in this matter.

Of course, if these people are smarter, they can also seek some cooperation.

From the beginning, Martin had no idea of ​​killing him.

Of course, according to the Earl, these people probably don’t have this kind of awareness at all and cannot take advantage of this ride.

Just in case, at Martin's suggestion, the textile factory became a designated cooperative unit of the craftsman temple, with low-level craftsmen on duty at any time to take care of those machinery...

In order to ensure the normal operation of production.

Secondly, it can also intimidate those who want to have bad ideas.

Dare to fight against the Temple of Craftsmen is no different from seeking death.

At around 11 o'clock noon, Martin came to Aunt Pula's restaurant.

Aunt Pula took out bottles of big and small sizes, and told Martin what was inside.

"This is fine salt, this is vinegar, this is spicy powder... In addition, here are ten kilograms of grilled fish steak, ten kilograms of mashed potatoes and two kilograms of cheese."

"In addition, I also roasted some squid for you, which can be eaten as a snack."

"By the way! Mr. Martin, what are you doing for these things? Are you going to camp out in the wild?"

After Aunt Pula had explained it all, she asked quickly.

She knew that the identity of this team was different from that of ordinary people, but she didn't have much fear.

Although I don’t regard myself as an elder when I get along, I also care about them very much.

Especially with the fact that they are all single, Aunt Pula is a little unsatisfied!

Every time I come to have a meal, I will chant a few words.

If it weren't for her good skills, Alder, who always liked to talk nonsense and disliked others talking too much in front of him, would have wanted to replace her.

“Yes, the next job will take two days in the wild.”

Martin ate the delicious charcoal grilled squid and packed the things.

"By the way, Aunt Pla, which department did Cook go to?" he asked suddenly.

Cook, the son of Aunt Pla, is two years younger than Martin, and joined the Guard last year.

Originally, the garrison reformed, and ordinary team members had no right to decide their own trends, but with the relationship between Aunt Pula and Shijiang Squad, Cook had room for independent choices.

"He's going to join the army! Alas, this brainless idiot is like his dead father."

Speaking of this, Aunt Pula complained worriedly.

Martin smiled and comforted: "It's actually nothing wrong with being a soldier..."

Aunt Pula shook her head in a sigh: "But isn't this going to fight with the Lance people soon? You said he didn't leave a child or a half for their family. If something goes wrong, how can I explain to him when I see his father in the future!"

"By the way, you are a big boss, I think Doriani and Kasan are both interested in you. Kasan is a little better, so don't worry at all, but that little girl Dorian always likes to be bored..."

Uh... why is the topic back to myself?!

Marting suddenly felt his scalp numb, so he quickly picked up a large bag of things on the table, turned around and ran away.

"Auntie, I'll take a step first..."

Looking at Martin's back as he ran away quickly, Aunt Pula murmured to herself: "Hmph! This kid, if you don't make your choice now, sooner or later, you will be upset!"

...

Martin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got on the carriage.

In the past, when I had dinner with my teammates, the aunt's firepower was mainly concentrated on Captain Mike, Fry and Alder.

After all, they are all over thirty or forty, and they have already arrived. The age to talk about marriage is still single now and don’t even have a serious girlfriend.

Martin didn't think too much about the relationship issue, so he could only let it go.

After all, there are countless things I need to deal with at the moment.
To be continued...
