Aaron's Trump Card

As Aaron became more and more proficient in his movements, the things he was assembling in his hands gradually became clearer. Vereesa on the side guessed. "Is this a crossbow?"

What finally appeared in the hands of Aaron was a hand crossbow that was only the size of a palm. Because Aaron only assembled it with parts made by these dwarfs without any polishing and modification, the crossbow looked ugly and had no beauty at all.

After seeing the final product, the dwarfs who were originally looking forward to Aaron's performance all showed expressions of "It's just that" and "It's just this stuff." Although they did not say it directly because of the salary paid to them by Aaron, the meaning in their eyes was still very obvious.

Aaron, however, had already expected the performance of these dwarfs. After all, the thing in his hand had no technical content. These dwarfs could make a mature mechanical product on their own. Of course, the shabby-looking hand crossbow in Aaron's hand could not catch their eyes.

However, Aaron didn't take it seriously. After all, his dwarf engineering had just begun, and his level was probably not as good as those dwarfs who had just entered Gearshaft University's studies. The fact that he was able to draw such a drawing of a crossbow was all thanks to a club he had joined before that gathered a large number of engineering students who were obsessed with crossbows, and even this drawing was already a simplified version.

Aaron gently pulled the trigger, and after confirming that the crossbow could be used, he put the crossbow back on the table. At the same time, his hands began to move continuously, and he actually began to dismantle the crossbow.

"Aaron? What are you doing?" Vereesa on the side felt a little confused. After thinking about it, he said, "Aaron, don't you think this thing is embarrassing, so you plan to destroy the body and eliminate all traces?"

Aaron shook his head, but did not stop moving. After dismantling the crossbow, he showed the pile of parts in front of the dwarves to the dwarfs, and then started to repeat the action to another pile of parts next to him - in fact, the parts Aaron asked the dwarfs to build were duplicates.

After Aaron stopped moving again, another crossbow appeared in Aaron's hand. This one was not much different from the one that Aaron had just dismantled. At most, it looked a little better because Aaron finally regained its feel, but it still didn't look very good.

"I think you must be curious about what I am doing," Aaron showed the crossbow in his hand to the dwarves and then placed it on the table.

After seeing Aaron's move, the dwarfs who had lost interest in watching Aaron subconsciously thought that Aaron was going to start dismantling the crossbow again, but they did not expect that although Aaron removed several parts from the crossbow, it did not completely disassemble the crossbow.

After Aaron lowered his head and picked out the previous pile of parts, he picked out a few parts he needed and installed these parts on the crossbow in his hand. After Aaron finished assembling it, he once again showed the dwarves how the crossbow could be used, and then removed a large number of parts from the crossbow again and continued to repeat the previous operations.

"Aaron, what are you doing?" Vereesa is very confused about Aaron's current actions, but this is normal. Aaron's actions of installing, dismantling, and reinstalling are inconceivable to ordinary people. This was the reaction every time. Vereesa was more confident in Aaron and planned to ask Aaron what he wanted to do. If someone else had done it, he might have just treated Aaron as having a mental problem.

However, the dwarfs who were watching Aaron realized something from Aaron's actions. More and more dwarfs' eyes shone with light. Because they often dealt with various parts, these dwarfs realized the hidden meaning behind Aaron's seemingly irrational operation.

Soon these dwarfs began to whisper among themselves:

"This seems to make it easier for us to perform repairs?"

"That seems to be the case."

"But do we really need to do this? It doesn't take much effort to build a few parts ourselves."

"That's because we can make parts ourselves, but not everyone can make parts."

"Anyone who can't build parts is really stupid."

"I guess our boss doesn't know how to do it, otherwise why would he make us work so hard?"

In the midst of the noise, the dwarfs seemed to finally realize the meaning behind Aaron's actions.

Although the gnomes have gone a long way in manufacturing various machines, one problem they have always faced is that when they repair machinery, they always encounter the dilemma of not being able to find suitable spare parts. Even the same type of parts made by the same dwarf will be subtly different, which results in the gnomes having to use some less suitable parts when repairing the machinery. This makes the gnomes' machinery more and more unreliable, and repairing it several times will render the machinery completely unusable.

However, the parts made by the dwarfs under the strict requirements of Aaron can be used universally between two different hand crossbows. This made the dwarfs realize a fact that is extremely beneficial to them. If the set of Aaron can be popularized, it will probably be much easier for them to repair machinery in the future.

Seeing that the dwarfs finally understood what he meant, Aaron also stopped what he was doing, held up the half-dismantled hand crossbow in his hand and said, "You seem to have finally understood what I meant. Very good. That's it for today's work. Let's continue tomorrow."

Aaron did not explain in detail to these dwarfs, but chose to let them think about it on their own. Aaron believed that in this way, these guys would be deeply impressed by this matter.

Of course, there is one thing that Aaron did not tell these dwarfs. Once the dwarfs can manufacture parts strictly according to the drawings provided by Aaron, he can use a killer weapon, which is assembly line operations.

However, Aaron has no idea of promoting assembly line operations yet. After all, he has only dozens of people now. It would be great to support a workshop. Let's wait until the scale is expanded in the future to talk about assembly lines. I just don't know these characteristics. Can the dwarfs in Ge Huantuo accept boring assembly line work? If not, Aaron needs to find other ways. I wonder if Gnoll and Murloc are qualified for this job?

"Hey, Aaron, what are you thinking about? Your expression looks so disgusting." Vereesa gently pushed Aaron, looking disgusted, and said.

Aaron hurriedly restrained his expression and said, "I thought of something happy, let's not talk about this, let's go, Vereesa, let's go see how the craftsmen are doing with their work. It's been almost a week. Not to mention the finished product, it's time to hand over a trial model to me, right?" 2k. com
