Act 98 Heating
Busy overnight.
Doug started a little later than usual the next day.
He put on his clothes and still felt a little cold. He opened the curtains and found that it had started to snow outside the window covered with a layer of white mist.
The snowflakes are not big, they are very fine.
It will melt immediately when it falls on the ground and will not become snow, but it will make the weather even colder.
Doug walked downstairs and found that the female workers' movements were not as quick as they were.
"Rose, come here." Doug waved and shouted Rose over, "You go and count how many female workers have frostbite in their hands and feet."
Rose glanced at Doug with gratitude.
She is the bond between the boss and the female worker. In the factory where she worked before, she has never seen a factory owner who can count female worker frostbite.
After she went to ask, the female workers also looked gratefully.
Doug didn't feel much at the gratitude look.
For him, a female worker was just a production tool.
In a bad environment, production tools have lower efficiency. Faced with such a situation, he certainly has to take care of it.
While waiting for Rose's statistics, he was wandering around the workshop. He saw how to put as few stoves as possible in key locations to solve the problem of heating the workshop in winter.
If the steam engine is working, there is no need to be such a trouble.
The gushing steam condenses into hot water, pours it into the pipe, and then passes through the radiator to solve the problem of heating.
But unfortunately, although it has been renovated for a month, Doug's expected semi-automatic Monopoly production assembly line still has various problems.
This is also impossible.
It wasn't the mechanic who Doug had no idea of his name and his apprentice who was lazy, but they were non-first-class talents themselves.
In addition, in this era, if you want to build the semi-automatic production line that Doug expects, you need to complete it completely with mechanical structure.
Although machines with purely mechanical structures look handsome, they have a high chance of failure due to too many parts.
Think about the rivets that had shot Doug in the head before. If female workers went to work on such a production line and died of two or three headshots a day, the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory was probably going to become a Clayden human slaughterhouse.
After Doug made a round, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he thought of this.
Although human subjective initiative can change the world to a certain extent.
However, the objective world is most of the time unsatisfied.
To be alive is to compromise.
"Boss, there are thirteen female workers like this who have frostbite." Ross came to report.
"You go to Williams to apply for a funding, buy more frostbite medicine, and tell them not to be reluctant to apply it." Doug ordered.
"Yes! I'll go now!" Ross's actions were straightforward.
Doug smiled at Ross's back.
The superiors are responsible for taking over the work tasks assigned by the boss and the subordinates are responsible for actually promoting work to workers. Such intermediate management positions are difficult to do.
If you lean a little towards the boss, you will be a thief who has nothing to say.
If you lean a little towards the workers, the boss will think you are going to rebel.
Such a job is not human, and if Doug is asked to do it, he will never do it.
However, everyone has their place.
He doesn't want to do it, there will always be someone who is willing to do it.
Most people have no plans for their lives and careers, and just live in the present.
"Freiman, I need you to put a few stoves in the workshop. Just make it like this." Doug handed a sketch to Freeman.
Freeman and his two elementary apprentices were still working around the production line. However, Doug did not give much hope.
Now the three of them are still asking to mess with the production line instead of finding more professional people, mainly because Doug is not very anxious.
The market for "Monopoly" in New Haven is that big, and the production of female workers three shifts a day is already oversupply.
As for the Monopoly market in other places, although it has tried to develop, the results are not ideal.
Not every city has Yale Academy, and not every city’s college students will be addicted to Monopoly.
As for the strategy of opening a bag with prize, the farther the distance, the harder it is to implement. The purchase price of middlemen is lower. If they put too much money, there is no reason not to open the bag by themselves. Even if they put too little, why not make more money?
As for the steam power assembly line transformation, if it is not used now, it does not mean it will not be used in the future. It is just used as a technical reserve.
The strong Freeman wiped his hands on the leather apron and wiped away most of the black oil before taking over the drawings.
He feels very complicated every day now.
On the one hand, he hopes that the boss will come here to see the results of his work.
On the other hand, he was afraid that the boss would be dissatisfied with the progress.
When Doug came in just now, he even shrank a little at the first time.
However, the boss is worthy of being a cultural person. He did not insult him, but gave him a new task.
It seems that I am still trusted!
"The mission must be completed!" Freeman said as he looked at the schematic diagram on the paper.
Doug asked Freeman to produce a tin stove. The biggest advantage of this small stove is that it has a good size and can be placed anywhere.
On the round stove, there are also furnace rings made of iron sheets. The furnace rings are stacked layer by layer to put down kettles of any size.
As for why the kettle is placed on the stove.
On the one hand, it can provide hot water to female workers, and on the other hand, it is because the stove will make the air too dry and make people feel uncomfortable.
As for how to exhaust smoke?
Exhaust smoke is exhausted through iron pipes falling into the air.
While exhausting smoke, waste cigarettes in the pipes can continue to emit waste heat.
Freeman looked at the stove on the sketch, and the more he looked, the more he felt the design was exquisite.
For a mechanical veteran like him, he may not understand the specific use of a machine, but whether it is comfortable at first glance can represent to a certain extent whether the machine is designed very reasonable.
Although this stove looks simple, it looks very comfortable. It will also look very easy to use.
This is probably the stove from other places...
Freeman thought in his heart, and said, "I will definitely do it in two days!"
"Yeah." Doug nodded, "After you're done, just press the position on the picture. I also have one in my office and bedroom, and attorney McGill and Williams' offices. You can also have one if you need it here."
"Thank you, boss!" Freeman said gratefully.
Chapter completed!
