Steel steam and flame

The next step is to spend the rest of the time waiting.

Ye Jielin came to Kasia again and asked about whether to go to the front line during the holidays. His answer was unclear at the time, and now that the time was approaching, she came over to confirm it with Cassia.

Because another notice was issued later, students who wanted to go to the front could go there in advance during this period. The trip was not long, it took less than ten days. But compared to a vacation of about a month, the proportion is not cost-effective.

Atuohuan has decided to go with Ye Jielin. Now he is packing up and handing over the intelligence collection work to others to ensure that the intelligence network will not be silent for a period of time. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to pick it up again.

"You don't have much time to make a decision. In a few days, we will set off early and take the military school's large airship there. After the vacation is over, you can also come back a week or two later. There is still plenty of time, no It’s all wasted on the journey. And it’s also related to the problem of personnel dispersion. The battle front is very long. Throwing us people into it will not cause any ripples at all. Don’t decide in advance. If you want to be with us at that time Together, it will be a troublesome thing." Ye Jielin felt a bit like urging Cassia.

Cassia thought for a while, and finally shook her head and refused. My mother and sister definitely want to go back. This is something that cannot be changed. There is still time on the front line. Even if she can't be with Ye Jielin and the others, it won't affect anything for Cassia.

Selmer did not follow immediately. He had to go back to his home first, then transfer to a commercial airship to go to the edge of the border line, meet with the troops defending there, and after a series of transfers, he would join Ye Jielin's team.

Until now, Cassia still doesn’t know what Selmer’s family does. He wanted to find an opportunity to ask, but Selmer's natural silence became his best defensive weapon. He didn't ask anything, he just kept his wood-grained smile, an expression that made people unable to ask any more questions.

If I know a little more detailed information, I still got it from Atuo Huan. As a master of intelligence gathering, Cassia admired this ability.

So things were settled, and life was put back on track.

From time to time, I would go out to help Delya with some factory matters. Several months had passed since the handover, and production was gradually getting back on track. It can be said that he has recruited a lot of technical and management personnel, and now they are arranged to study alongside the Webley Company personnel, hoping that they can play a role in supporting the factory as soon as possible.

And within a few months, through the operation of the factory, the first funds began to enter Kasia's pocket. It's not much. After deducting the cost of raw materials and other working capital, as well as the working capital that is re-injected into factory operations, the money that can actually be used by Cassia and Delya is basically enough to support a knighthood of dozens of people.

"It's a good start. We didn't use all our own funds as operating expenses in the early stage. Instead, we were self-sufficient, and it also allowed us to gain a little bit. It's worth being happy." The things that are pressing on Delya are At this time, the situation was finally alleviated. “The next step is further development. Expansion of factories and other aspects of the industry also need to be planned in advance.”

Delya knocked on the table and looked at Cassia: "You are the boss, and you need to decide the next thing. The current development of the factory is pretty good, but it is basically an illusion, because the few customers who support the factory They all belonged to the Webley Company before, and we did not develop it independently. This will eventually limit us in the future. If we want to continue to expand the factory, we also want the Steam Knights to be more than a dozen people. To become a force that can continue to develop and grow in the next few decades, we have to create our own thing after stepping out of the shadow of Webley Company."

"I know, but I don't have any thoughts for the moment." Cassia had a headache. She still didn't understand these things at all, except for the meaningless outlook of "Let's develop better."

"These are not urgent, but there are two issues that urgently need your decision." Delya took out the things she had prepared, which were compiled factory data, almost all of which were related to production capacity.

Five large factories are mainly engaged in the manufacturing of large parts and the production of bullets. The data is well organized, and you can understand at a glance that this is specially prepared for Cassia.

Delya turned over a few pages of the document and asked Cassia to look at the data at the back. Regarding platinum bullets, the title says - Universal model caliber. There are several branches below, represented by a circle followed by a different number of plus and minus signs.

The circle is the standard, and the suffix of a plus sign indicates excellent quality, stable performance, and slightly improved power. This type of bullets are generally for our own use. Of course, if you develop your own trading network in the future, those customers with good relationships can also sell such bullets.

Of course, products with a minus sign suffix are products whose quality and craftsmanship have declined. But because of the high standards of Webley Arms Company, other factories that are not part of the Quartet, or factories that do not use this kind of production standards, are one level lower than companies like Webley.

There is a minus sign behind the circle, and the quality of the bullet is comparable to that of most current factories in the Empire.

Two minuses, the quality is on par with an excellent workshop.

Three minus signs are at the level of ordinary workshops that are rampant in the empire, and the production volume of this kind of bullet is also the largest.

There are also those with two plus signs, which means that these bullets are acid platinum bullets, which are defective products that sacrifice stability for great power.

Cassia browsed it and finished it quickly.

"Remember the big factory we bought?" Delya asked at this time.

Cassia nodded.

"It has become a warehouse now, and it is already full of these things." Dia patted the documents in her hand, "It is very troublesome to develop regular customers, and if we want to develop, every time we expand a factory, we need a lot of Funding.”

"Know."

"So it's impossible to do a transaction on the surface, because in the real world, there is no place where you have to use bullets to solve problems." Delya said with a smile, "We have to break into the dark world as soon as possible. , to form our own black market network. To put it harshly, the ordinary real world is not a place for us to live. As expected, the dark world is the environment where we should stay."

"Also, during this time, I visited the factory. The manufacturing range of large parts covers a wide range, which was not very friendly to us in the early stage."

O++ acid platinum bullets sacrifice stability for power and have a shelf life of only about 15 days. Average quantity

O+ high quality platinum bullets, good stability, small increase in power, but not as good as acidic platinum bullets. small quantity

O standard platinum bullet, (Webley company standard) average quantity

O—Standard platinum bullets, (standard for ordinary companies) are in larger quantities

O——Inferior platinum bullets, (some better private production workshops) have a lot of them

O————The lowest-end platinum bullets, (popular in ordinary workshops) are extremely abundant, the main member of platinum bullets in the black market, and the price is cheap
