Assembly Line

Quan Yi had no choice but to be honest and open with each other if they wanted to deepen their cooperation.

The forging technology in this world is beyond imagination.

With the addition of supernatural abilities like Soul Power and Martial Soul, the technological ceiling is breathtaking.

Even though the civilization that once possessed the ability to manufacture Soul Tool has now lost its way, it can still easily produce a Flintlock Gun.

Moreover, Quan Yi's ambitions did not stop there.

"I hope to take cost and replicability into account in the future. Moreover, this Flintlock Gun is just the beginning. We will develop stronger and more convenient Iron Gun in the future. At that time, the Flintlock Gun will soon be obsolete, so we don't need to worry about it."

Quan Yi's lofty ambitions and self-confidence completely won over Blacksmith Yuan.

"Yuan Fei, come here and kneel down!" Blacksmith Yuan shouted to his son, making him kneel in front of Quan Yi and Su Ling'er.

Yuan Fei did not hesitate and immediately knelt down.

Just as Quan Yi and Su Ling'er were surprised, Blacksmith Yuan himself also knelt down in front of Quan Yi.

"I, Yuan Xing, and Yuan Fei, on behalf of the Yuan Family, hereby swear that the Yuan Family will forever be loyal to the Quan Family. If we break this oath, may we be condemned by heaven and earth!"

The expressions of Blacksmith Yuan and Yuan Fei were solemn and devout, Quan Yi knew that this was no joke.

The oath has a special significance in mainland China, as it signifies that the Yuan Family will completely submit to the Quan Family Quan Family and follow their lead.

Moreover, if they rebel after taking the oath, the Yuan Family will be scorned by the entire mainland and truly be unacceptable to the mainland.

This was the first time Quan Yi had encountered such a situation, so he turned to his mother and asked for her opinion.

Su Ling'er said, "You are the Young Family Head of the Quan Family, and it should be up to you to decide whether to accept the Yuan Family's allegiance."

Su Ling'er was very satisfied with the Yuan Family's loyalty, and this would also better solve the problem of secrecy, which she agreed with.

However, she chose to let Quan Yi make the decision himself, and she trusted Quan Yi because Quan Yi had his own judgment.

Quan Yi saw that his mother had completely entrusted this matter to him, he also felt a great responsibility.

He turned his gaze back to the Yuan Family Father and Son, and after a moment of thought, Quan Yi made a decision in his heart.

"I, Quan Yi, the Young Master of the Quan Family, formally accept the Yuan Family family's allegiance on behalf of the Quan Family," Quan Yi announced with utmost solemnity.

With an imposing presence and neither servile nor arrogant, Quan Yi perfectly demonstrated the demeanor of Young Family Head, showing respect and sincerity towards the Yuan Family Father and Son in every word and deed.

Su Ling'er nodded in satisfaction. This was an inevitable path for the Young Master of the Quan Family. Moreover, Quan Yi's performance was impeccable, demonstrating both his respect for the Yuan Family and his own demeanor.

The event was sudden and conditions were limited, so the oath-taking ceremony had to be simplified, but this does not mean that the solemnity of the oath was reduced.

After the ceremony, Quan Yi helped the Yuan Family Father and Son up, and from then on, the two of them were considered part of the Quan Family.

Moreover, both sides are very satisfied with this.

"Blacksmith Yuan, you must be aware of the importance of Flintlock Gun. Right now, only you and your son know about this; even the Blacksmith in the Forging Room are unaware of it. Therefore, I hope you can continue to keep this a secret."

Although this might raise suspicions about the Yuan Family, the matter was of great importance, so Su Ling'er could only play the stern face and warn the Yuan Family Father and Son.

"Don't worry, Madam, we understand. This matter will absolutely not be leaked from our mouths."

Both of them are straightforward and can't hide their feelings, which makes them feel very comfortable with each other.

Otherwise, no matter how skilled he was, Quan Yi would not accept the other party's allegiance.

After accepting the Yuan Family's allegiance, Quan Yi felt somewhat reassured about the Yuan Family Father and Son.

After that, Quan Yi couldn't wait to discuss cost reduction plans with Blacksmith Yuan.

"Young Master, according to preliminary calculations, using Refined Iron can keep the cost to around one Gold Soul Coin."

However, even using refined Refined Iron, which is easier to forge, only a minority of Blacksmith can independently manufacture firearms. Not to be arrogant, but currently within the Research Institute, only my son and I possess this capability.

Even if a highly skilled Blacksmith is brought in from outside, it only increases the risk of leaks.

The difficulty in making Flintlock Gun lies in the ingenuity and complexity of its structure; there can be no slight error between any of its components.

There are very few Blacksmith who can do this, and even if you go through all the trouble to find Blacksmith, Quan Yi must ensure his character before he will tell you the blueprints.

"Blacksmith Yuan, I have an idea about this matter. I want to set a standard. We will break down each part and then determine the specifications and quality of each part. Then, we will have the Blacksmith divided into several departments, with each department responsible for the production of only one part."

To maintain secrecy while pursuing efficiency, Quan Yi choice but to adopt the 'assembly line' production model.

"Will this work?" Blacksmith Yuan asked, his face full of doubt.

Although Quan Yi described it in a complicated way, it is essentially about division of labor and cooperation.

When making arrows, Blacksmith sometimes commission carpenters to make the shafts, and then assemble them themselves.

But he could hardly imagine that this method could be used when manufacturing firearms.

"Whether we can succeed or not, we need to explore and figure it out, but I am confident." Quan Yi appeared full of confidence in the face of Blacksmith Yuan's doubts.

"The most important thing is to set detailed standards, and then impose strict requirements. In theory, this is entirely achievable."

Blacksmith Yuan was also influenced by Quan Yi's confident gaze.

"Alright, I'll take a look and see how to disassemble it."

As he spoke, Blacksmith Yuan took out the brand-new blueprints and began to study them.

He was very familiar with Quan Yi's wild ideas, and in the end, they all proved to be correct, which made Quan Yi the Blacksmith Yuan develop a strong trust in Quan Yi.

At the same time, this production method greatly stimulated his curiosity.

While Blacksmith Yuan was studying, Quan Yi mentioned to his mother, "Mother, I'd like to stay here tonight. Anyway, I'm only staying one night, so it's fine to make do for one night."

After Quan Yi decided to Soul Fight, he would stay here directly so that he could participate in the setup of the production line.

"I really can't do anything with you." Su Ling'er sighed softly, then said, "Come with me." Su Ling'er beckoned.

Su Ling'er led Quan Yi toward the Forging Room.

"Mother, is something the matter?" Quan Yi asked, puzzled.

"I'll take you to a nice place; you can stay there tonight." Su Ling'er smiled mysteriously, revealing no further information.

Su Ling'er went straight into the underground Forging Room. Although she was completely confused, Quan Yi could only follow her into the Basement.

Inside the Forging Room, dozens of Blacksmith were still forging iron blocks.

These Blacksmith were actually subordinate to the Quan Family.

Although the Quan Family does not have any affiliated Spirit Master, they have corresponding affiliated families in many production fields.

For example, in Blacksmith, construction, and other fields.

Furthermore, some members of the Quan Family also participate in the management and production of these areas.

The advantage of the Quan Family lies in their adaptability to these industries.

Dexterous Mind may seem ordinary, but it is a unique talent in production activities or labor.

Therefore, among the many Blacksmith in the Basement, some were members of the Quan Family.

In this way, the Quan Family is also gradually expanding its territory.
