Throne of Vientiane Civilization

"Rebellious son!!"

A new day began with Zhou Xu's accusation against his rebellious son.

After driving away Xuan Yu who was sleeping on his face again, Zhou Xu sat up from the bed, holding his forehead with one hand, looking a little tired.

His sleep quality has always been good, and coupled with his strong mental power, he wakes up every day with very good spirits.

But today he felt particularly tired.

"I remember entering the spiritual space last night, nothing happened, I just continued to sleep, and then..."

Mumbling to himself, Zhou Xu frowned.

"Dream all night?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu couldn't help rubbing his face hard.

From a scientific point of view, dreaming mostly means poor sleep quality. Zhou Xu thinks this is one of the reasons why he felt particularly tired this morning.

As for what he dreamed about...

He couldn't remember clearly.

He has always been like this. After waking up from a dream, he can't remember what he dreamed about. This is not a rare thing.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Xu asked someone to bring in a basin of cold water, washed himself up, and then started morning exercises.

Today's document processing work was concentrated in the morning. In the afternoon, Zhou Xu took a carriage and left the palace to inspect the progress of several projects.

The main reason was that his sleep quality was too poor yesterday, which affected his state today. He didn't want to do too much work that required thinking.

Anyway, there were no important documents today that he had to deal with, so he simply arranged to go out for inspection.

Zhou Xu has always attached great importance to the inspection.

Although he was busy with official duties every day and couldn't do everything in person, he couldn't just listen to the reports and reports from his subordinates.

In this way, he never missed the field investigation and project inspection.

For the projects in Black Moon City, he would choose a day or half a day to go there every three or five days.

Now Zhou Xu's first stop after returning from outside is the equipment department of their Black Moon City!

The equipment department has always been a large department of their Great Zhou. Not only does it have branches in various cities, but there are also many small departments responsible for different projects within the department.

For example, there is now a department that is specifically responsible for manufacturing three-bow crossbows, a department that is specifically responsible for manufacturing soldier armor, and so on. To put it bluntly, it is a more detailed division.

After all, Zhou Xu knows that ordinary people's abilities are limited. Instead of letting them spread their limited abilities and energy on many equipment, it is better to let them all invest in the production of one or one type of equipment.

Focus on one job and focus on it for decades. Even if you can't become a master, you can at least practice makes perfect and improve your work efficiency.

These small departments all have independent factories and courtyards.

Although they are in the same area, under normal circumstances, they don't disturb each other on weekdays.

After passing through a factory, Zhou Xu came to a courtyard called the "Power Equipment Department".

Needless to say, this is the small department specially set up for the development of steam engines after Qin Fen was summoned, and it belongs to the capital equipment department.

The area of ​​the department is not small, but there are only a few people.

It's not that Zhou Xu is stingy and unwilling to assign people to Qin Fen.

As a modern man, Zhou Xu knows the value of steam engines. At the same time, he had already ordered that Qin Fen should give people and money.

At that time, the battle was quite big, and Qin Fen was also in high spirits, looking like he was going to do a big job.

As a result, more than half a year later, Qin Fen embarrassedly found that he was lagging behind.

He really knows the structure and manufacturing technology of steam engines, but in this era, the difficulty of making steam engines is much more difficult than he expected.

Simply put, it is limited by technical strength, the precision of parts is not enough, and the manual error is huge.

The steam engine that was barely built not only leaks, but also has regrettable stability. Let alone normal use, Qin Fen didn't even dare to let it run for a while.

In the past six months, he has tried to overcome this problem.

In fact, he has tried many times.

After all, Qin Fen knew that this was his first job after crossing over, and it was also his first opportunity to prove his value to Zhou Xu, which was of great significance to him.

Although he felt that his panel ability was there, even if he messed up this first job, Zhou Xu would not do anything to him, but Qin Fen could not get over it.

Or it was his self-esteem that did not allow him to accept this kind of failure.

You know, even before crossing over, he was recognized as a super genius!

For this reason, he invested a lot of time trying to overcome the problem.

Later, there was really no way, so he reported the situation to the higher-ups and expressed his difficulties.

At that time, the person in charge of understanding the situation was Zhang Xiaoshan, the Minister of the Administrative Department of Black Moon City.

After all, Qin Fen was a talent that their Majesty said to focus on, so Zhang Xiaoshan naturally paid more attention to him.

After listening to Qin Fen's difficulties, Zhang Xiaoshan directly said...

"Maybe. You can try to ask Deputy Minister Zhuang for help."

"..."

Qin Fen wanted to say that it was not a question of who to ask for help, what he needed was a high-precision lathe to help him solve the problem of parts precision.

Of course, he just thought about it and didn't say it out loud. He didn't intend to discuss this issue with an ancient person.

Let alone discuss it, the other party might not understand it, which made Qin Fen very helpless.

However, he could also feel that the other party had good intentions. Instead of rejecting it in person and making it awkward, it would be better to let Deputy Minister Zhuang come and try it himself and then retreat.

But Deputy Minister Zhuang couldn't be invited just because she wanted to. She is now responsible for the manufacturing of their Da Zhou single-soldier crossbow, and she is also a very important productivity in the manufacturing group.

If she was transferred away, the productivity of the entire manufacturing group would be greatly reduced.

For this reason, if you want to transfer Deputy Minister Zhuang to help, you must first ask their majesty for permission and wait for their majesty to approve it.

At that time, Zhou Xu was on the volcanic island...

No matter how fast the messenger moved, it took nearly three months for the news to come and go.

During this process, the power equipment department had a lot of staff, and it was naturally impossible for them to be idle every day, so these people were basically transferred back to their original departments.

After the news came back, their majesty approved it.

When Qin Fen first met Zhuang Mengdie, he was a little confused. He could not imagine that this person was actually a deputy minister. He was covered in dirt and looked like he had just come out of a factory. Even his clothes were very sloppy.

Of course, due to his education, he did not express his thoughts, but made his requirements clear to Zhuang Mengdie.

After understanding the situation, Zhuang Mengdie did not waste words and started working directly.

Then after a while, Qin Fen held the tightly fitted, perfectly combined, and even smoothly linked structural components in his hand, and only two words were left in his mouth.

"Fuck? Fuck!!"
