Chapter 124: Even if I voted for Chaos, I wouldn't be able to do this
When Gu Hang placed several new "black boxes" in front of Wu Jiarong's face, her mouth opened wider than ever before in her life.
Where do these things come from?
In the past, she had thought whether it was given by the Gu family, but then she thought that the Gu family didn't have the ability to do so; later, she had some bolder ideas, whether the governor was the biological son of a great sage of the Mechanicus, but then she thought that in the heart of any great sage, the black box must be more important than his biological son. It was hard to say whether those guys who had used mechanical transformation to replace all their parts except their brains still had the feeling of family affection.
Then, Wu Jiarong could no longer think of any other reason.
Even if we assume the worst case scenario, that the Governor has defected to Chaos and become a traitor to the Empire, this is still impossible: How could the Chaos forces be willing to give so many Black Box Manufacturing Machines to a planetary Governor just to corrupt a shabby world like the Wrath of the Owl?
The input and output are not proportional at all!
If I can’t figure these things out, I won’t think about them anymore.
Wu Jiarong listened carefully to the Governor's arrangements, occasionally controlling the mechanical arm extending from behind her and writing and drawing on the paper beside her.
Instead of thinking about something that will lead to no result, it is better to think about how to fulfill the Governor's request.
The Governor was like a client with complex ideas and strict requirements, but the price he offered was something she could not refuse at all.
So many black boxes, of different types, have great research value.
Although Wu Jiarong spends most of her time on the various tasks assigned to the institute by the Governor, just taking time out during her rest time to study the black box products and the operation of the black box itself is already a valuable gain.
Of course, she didn't understand how the black box worked. Even the great sage of the Mechanicum couldn't figure it out, let alone a newbie like her. However, she had gained something just by observing.
The greater gain is the research on standard products of black box output, which is more suitable for her current level.
It hasn't been long since she felt that she had made great progress compared to the past.
She has a clear understanding of her own technical level. Although her title is just a technical specialist, she was preparing to be promoted to a mechanic ten years ago and has actually reached that level.
However, in the past ten years, she has neither the enthusiasm, time nor opportunity to study further.
And now, she felt that old feeling of rapid progress returning.
I'm afraid it won't be long before she can advance to the next level of technical priest.
In addition to helping the Governor-General cover up the existence of the black box, she also has to work hard to demonstrate her own value. Although the former is important, it is actually not particularly irreplaceable. She needs to work harder on the latter.
However, the requirements put forward by the Governor are still a bit too difficult to handle.
"Producing 50 155mm heavy artillery pieces per month... This is a bit difficult. But I also looked at the 155mm artillery pieces produced by the local indigenous people, and I found that my design can be simplified. If I work hard, I should be able to achieve it this month."
"We can produce 50 'Crambler V's per month, and we need to gradually increase the production in the future... This is much more difficult than producing artillery. The finished black box cannot completely solve the problem. If it works non-stop for a month, it can only produce 15 vehicles. To further expand production, we still need to build a special production workshop."
"Just to pull out the production line, we need to slowly produce it in black boxes, and the assembly of the production line requires the full participation of technicians. The Edifier has many parts. The engine can use an improved version of the Whetstone engine, but the production of the chassis, body, internal instruments, and weapon systems must all be taken out separately. When it comes to the assembly part, it is also a difficult problem. We have to train more skilled industrial workers to be competent for this job."
"I estimate that it may take two or three months to reach a production of 50 vehicles per month; however, as long as we can reach this level, subsequent improvements should be relatively fast. And the good news is that we can use the finished products directly produced by the black box to support it, at least to meet the needs of the troops as much as possible."
"The production line of the G9 gun family is relatively mature, and it is not difficult to increase production."
“The production process of plastic-steel bulletproof inserts for textile clothing is the same.”
"Bolt guns can only be produced in black boxes. Even if a production line is established, there are no corresponding raw materials and parts for production. However, the demand is not large, so it doesn't matter. The main thing is that it is much more convenient to supply the Space Marines. The extra production capacity can be made into bolt machine gun models and mounted on the Wanderer to replace the original coaxial machine gun. By then, the infantry fighting vehicle will have a double-barreled 40mm cannon and a bolt machine gun. With the addition of an anti-tank missile launcher, the power of the entire weapon station will be considerable."
"We don't have the production capacity for reactors, so we can only rely on black boxes. But there's no need to mass-produce this thing for the time being, right? Using the finished black box, I can deploy a controllable reactor generator set outside Weixing City within a month. Fuxing City and Weixing City now have ready-made power grids. By integrating them, we won't have to worry about energy issues for a very, very long time. This will provide huge power for all our production lines, and our production capacity will grow by leaps and bounds in the future."
"Basic medical technology is relatively simple. We can quickly arrange to build a chemical plant. As long as the imported raw materials are in place, we can quickly start production. It contains more than a hundred common drugs. When the time comes, the drugs needed by military hospitals and urban hospitals will all be available. These drugs can also be traded abroad, or even stockpiled to cope with future imperial taxes."
…
Wu Jiarong told Governor Gu in detail the results and evaluation of her thinking.
Gu Hang was a little disappointed in some areas. For example, the production capacity of armored vehicles was slower than he had expected.
But what Wu Jiarong talked about were all realistic factors, especially the shortage of qualified auto workers. If the Iron Bull series trucks and Ranger series motorcycles had not been put into production and a little experience had been cultivated, the gap in this area would definitely be even greater.
The demand for qualified industrial workers will only increase in the future.
Gu Hang was planning to develop the education industry after returning this time.
Compulsory education for children and teenagers; technical schools for rapid training of young people and adults; management schools for training new administrative officers; military schools for training qualified officers and conducting officer re-education, especially ideological education, and training political commissars, or called loyalty schools...
Thinking of this, he began to feel helpless.
The education industry is something that requires a lot of time and energy.
Moreover, he didn't have the right person to run this business.
Ossena?
She has the ability, but she is too busy with too much work. Rebuilding the city, resuming production, and insufficient administrative staff have already made the girl exhausted. I am afraid that she will not be able to carry out another equally heavy task in the short term.
Gu Hang could only consider other candidates.
