218 6.12 The Improved Automation For Refined Steel Plates and Bricks.

"Woohoo....!! Sensei... We did it...!! At last, everything is automated except to load the iron ores, coal and limestone... Wooooohoooo.....!! Steady boom peep peep... Hahahahaha!!"

I was so Goddamn happy to see the results and went over to hold the piece of Refined Steel plate that felt warm to touch and felt something like 40 degrees Celsius after going through the process of 2 cooling methods.

"Hahahaha... So we got more time for ourselves now. I wonder how many plates that we are going to achieve based on these 100 sacks of everything."

I placed my hand on Sensei's shoulder and said, "50 kilograms of 100 sacks is equal to 5 tonnes dead weight. We both had lifted 100 sacks of these on the conveyor belts and after each fill of reservoir, we may lose up to 10% due to slag and impurities. We would end up with 4.5 tonnes of Molten steel. Each plate weighs around 180-220 grams and we would have at least 2 over million plates."

"So every 3 hours of real-time we would enter to pull the caged wagon out and place the empty wagon instead of handcart inside. Hahahha...sorry Sensei, I made a mistake before in calculating because of the decimal point. It wasn't 25,000 or 225,000 Refined Steel Plates but its gonna be like 2,250,000 plates altogether. Hehehehe... "

"We need to clear the plates every 3 hours or so, or we would not be able to pull it out at all. Come, let's go watch the progress for the brick as well..."

I swiped the scene to the right and I showed the brick processing part. A pile of a hundred over bricks had lain there in the pit as we had merely used 3 handcarts full. The bricks were warm to the touch and had been bone dry after being inside the furnace of at least 3000 degrees Celcius for an hour.

I held one in my hand and it felt just right, the same way as it felt on my time. I dropped it on the floor and it just chipped a little at the sides, with no cracks whatsoever. Damn good brick...! This should be the next development stage after all.

I passed the brick to Hiko-sama and he held it to his nose. It was terrifically bone dry and he knew it would be a high-quality brick if it would be made into pottery. The surface was smooth and the colours were of light adobe.

"Kid, just these 3 loads of handcart can produce so much of these bricks? Show me how you going to lay them so I could relay it to the foreman and assign some men to me and we could lay the bricks in the order to prefer."

I squatted down and began to lay the bricks the way I liked it to be. It was slanted at 45 degrees instead of laying it like straight across. It was fashioned in a way that it looked like it was thatched on the ground and Hiko-sama like the idea very much.

"The first thing is to mark out the ground right? To make it accessible in the day, the work would be done in the evenings, right up till morning. Let's say 6 pm to 6 am, a 12 hour night shift."

"The pathway would be 6 meters across and it is going to be a straight line. So these people would dig the ground first and compile the mud, soil, sand, water, straw and pine needles first and send it to the Ops Room, right?"

"Next is to flatten the ground of 5 inches deep first, and use a monkey ramp to flatten it. Then lay a thin layer of porous sand on top before laying the bricks according to the design."

"Use porous sand to fill the gaps and then use the end of the monkey ramp wrapped with some gunny sacks and thumped them to be more compact, right?"

"The making of the flexible 'clay' as what I would term it right now would be sent by the cartloads to our Ops Room in the day time and we could just dump it on the first conveyor to let it process on its own right?"

"Hahahahaha... Sensei, you could really read my mind right now. That's what we need and hope the foreman could have the manpower we need for the building of the paved walkway. Come, help me, Sensei. We load these bricks on the cart and push it out first."

"Those Tanuki would be surprised when we pushed these out. Tomorrow we need to have a netted pallet to bring these out. It's easier for us and there's no need to inventories these."

After placing the bricks in the 2 carts, we logged off from our meditative state and entered our real world. We pushed the carts out and placed it outside the Ops Room. A few Tanuki were curious and approached us but stopped beyond the partition. Upon seeing us push the cart, they immediately offered to help.

"Senpai, what's it this? Is this a new building material?" asked a Tanuki by the name of Coochi. "Ah, Yes... This would be used to pave the roads from our corporation right till the southern gate there. It is used to make sure the roads would never be flooded again."

There were Oohs and Aahs as they held the bricks in their hands and they asked if this could replace masonry.

"Actually it could replace masonry, the stonemasons could be employed to lay these bricks jus like they were to build the half walled ones. It would be sturdier than full wooden panel ones as it's termite free and waterproof."

A lot of Oohs and Aahs afterwards, we had another idea. The Construction for the new residential would take a pause first while new development methods would be implemented. At least from the outermost districts, the houses would have a better outlook and make of bricks, rather than full wood.

Tomorrow it seems that we need to talk to Kayu-San about the housings, and it means we use lesser wood and more of our labour instead.

We left the Tanuki to return to rest while we called one of the guards to relay the message for kayu-San to meet us tomorrow morning, and then to recall back the storekeeper and delivery boys to perform some tasks of making crates and also some netted 2x2 pallets to store these bricks.

The guards nodded their heads and we went back to the garden and took out the sketchpad and write on a new empty page entitled developments around Kitakata Town.

It was already close to 11 pm and Hiko-sama passed me a cup and we "Kanpai" once more and watched the streams of employees reporting to work and reporting off to work, and I saw Izumi waving to me and I gingerly waved back and I felt like there's an intimate spark going on or the effects of the copious cups of yumeshu that had travelled to my body. Hahahaha... Find out soon enough then...!
