Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

Port Dotu, a village near the woods

"Hey.hey.hey..."

In a small carpenter's shop, two craftsmen, an old man and a young man, were struggling to pull the saw blade, preparing to cut off a tree.

The two of them were tired and sweating profusely, and it took them half a day to cut a piece of wood in two.

The two of them gasped for breath, picked up the water bladder next to them and drank the water, and then the young carpenter said to the middle-aged carpenter in front of him:

"Dad, I heard that someone in our village has built a big shop, and he is also a carpenter.

"I've also heard that it seems to be run by a civilian merchant, and the craftsmen are all hired, don't be afraid, their prices will not be lower than ours." The

middle-aged man wiped his sweat and said, they don't have to worry about running out of food at all, the big workshop is either an invitation or a slave.

Carpenters need a certain amount of experience, especially for furniture, and it is difficult for slaves to engage in this trade, and if they are hired workers, the labor cost will definitely be much higher than that of small shops like them.

"Don't think about it so much, honestly learn to work with me, and become a carpenter in the future, not to mention being rich and expensive, it's still no problem to support your family..."

"Hurry up and get to work..."

Just

as the middle-aged man was setting up the saw, a strange sound suddenly came from the village.

The young man walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked towards the village, and then pointed to the village and shouted at the middle-aged man: "Dad, you see there seem to be a lot of people around over there!"

The middle-aged man stared at the young man with wide eyes, a little angry, and was about to let the young man leave it alone, but the young man walked directly in the direction of the village and left the middle-aged

man's sight.

The middle-aged man threw away the saw in his hand and followed angrily.

.

"Well, you say, what are these

iron lumps?" "I don't know? Isn't this a carpenter's shop? Why are there so many iron lumps?" "

Yes, look at this chimney, I thought it was a blacksmith shop." "

What's in that room, and why is it making such a strange noise?"

"I don't know... As soon as that thing rang, black smoke rose from the chimney above.

"Is this a blacksmith or a carpenter?"

"It's a carpenter's shop, you see so much wood in the yard..."

The middle-aged carpenter chased the young carpenter to the place where people gathered, and the middle-aged carpenter wanted to scold the young carpenter and took it back.

He was also fascinated by the situation, as the people around him had argued, the workshop was full of ironwork that he had never seen before, the chimneys were still smoking, but the yard was full of trees.

The young carpenter pulled over a man and asked

, "Why are there so many people around?" "

Oh, just now the furniture was sold here, and the tables and chairs were all the same as if they were carved out of a module, and the workmanship was very exquisite, and the legs of the tables and chairs were square and very beautiful." The

middle-aged carpenter was a little surprised when he heard this, and said

, "Ouch, that has to be done by very experienced old craftsmen, and it is furniture that only nobles can afford... Hey, what about the tables and chairs?" he

said, looking left and right, and there was not a single table or chair in the courtyard of the entire workshop.

The person who was questioned looked at the two fathers and sons and

said, "That is to say, that kind of furniture should be very expensive, but just now, the price of those ten chairs is cheaper than asking you to fight one chair!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, glared and said

, "What! Don't you joke! How is it possible!"

"Hey, hey, look..."

The person being questioned was about to argue with him, when he heard someone shouting, and all eyes were on the courtyard.

In the courtyard, two people carried a tree on their backs, and then walked into the house, and laid it horizontally on the machine, in front of the wood was an iron disc with serrated teeth, and then, a craftsman fiddled twice next to the iron disc, and the iron disc with teeth suddenly turned.

Everyone was shocked, and the speed of the iron disc became faster and faster, making a buzzing sound.

Two craftsmen pushed the wood forward, and as it made contact with the rapidly rotating disc gears, the sawdust flew up.

The

wood was cut into two pieces at once, and it took less than 10 seconds from the time the wood came into contact with the disc until it broke.

The cut in the wood break is quite flat, which no carpenter can do with a saw.

The carpenter's eyes widened, and they were more shocked than anyone present.

A craftsman then placed one of the trees on the machine, fixed the wood and pushed it to the disc.

The disc easily cut off one side of the tree, and then the carpenter pulled it back, reoriented the wood, and pushed it through.

This goes back and forth in four ways, forming a square rectangular strip.

Immediately after that, the craftsman adjusted the cuboid again, back and forth, adjusted it, and after a few times, several rectangular wooden slats of exactly the same thickness came out directly.

Other craftsmen waiting on the sidelines took the planks and took them to the smaller wheeled discs around them, ready to cut and work on them.

The two craftsmen just now came out to lift a piece of wood from the yard and repeated the operation just now.

Craftsmen around the area quickly cut the planks into different shapes.

A few old craftsmen with pipes came out of the house, laughing and chatting, and at the same time threw the various structures cut by the craftsmen in front of the machine in the yard.

They then expertly stitched these structures together into chairs.

Soon a chair was formed, which was identical, delicate and square.

"Oh my God!"

"Hey, that's how it happened..."

In the amazement of the people around him, the middle-aged carpenter was already doubting life, and as a carpenter, he knew very well every step of the work that these craftsmen did.

The first step was to cut the trees apart, and it took a lot of effort for the two fathers and sons to go into battle together.

Then there is the cutting of the wood into planks, which is the most time-consuming, I am afraid that it takes a day to cut a piece of wood into the desired plank.

The next work is to work finely, especially the mortise and tenon structure, which must be carefully chiseled out with an awl and a hammer.

This is a very technical test, and you will definitely not be able to chisel it once, so you have to try it slowly again and again.

It would take at least four or five days to build three or four chairs...

And these people in front of me, in less than ten minutes, a few chairs will be fine....

His gaze rested on the rapidly spinning disc of gear, this was the thing! it was with this thing that they could easily cut through the wood.

But what the hell is this? Is it a legendary artifact?

They don't know that it is the steam engine in the house that drives these gear wheels.

At this time, there was a sweaty, gray-faced man in the room, who was adding coal to the boiler with a shovel.

The kinetic energy of this steam engine was enough to turn all the machines in this carpentry factory, and it was more than enough.

The general manager of the Su Group in Port Dotu is planning to build a few more textile workshops here, and this steam engine can also drive dozens of industrial textile machines!
