229 Sixth Factory
"You want to meet Chairman Gastenth?"
Mark Eschmond looked at the foreigner in front of him and was slightly surprised. Recently, there have been many people coming to Ailena, and many people want to see Gastenth. However, Ailena claims to be the leader of the revolution and wants to see Gastenth. This is the first foreigner who wants to see Gastenth. He took out a small notebook from his arms, opened it, asked Cassie Lonagan's name, wrote a few strokes, and then closed it.
"I can't answer you about this matter, I will report it to my superiors. Before that, you can follow these new fellow villagers who have joined Ailena to see what we Ailena is like."
While saying this, Mark Eschmond had pride on his face and words. Cassie Lonagan envied this pride and yearned for this pride. He nodded, said goodbye to Mark, returned to Soderland, and fell asleep.
The next day, a team of about one hundred people came next to this small gathering place. Everyone was wearing military uniforms like Mark Esimmon, with a white cloth sewn on the left chest, with the words "The First Army Corps" written on it. Cassie Lonagan and Sortland followed the instructions of these soldiers and walked towards the deeper part of Enspan Province. After a long trek, they came to the city on the east side, the suburbs of Diego. Here, he saw a continuous tent and a large number of people who could not count. Most of these people escaped from the border like him and Sortland. Elena seemed to have regarded this place as a gathering place for these people, managed in a unified manner, and then distributed.
Although there were many people, the order at the scene was still in order. Most of the people who arrived here in the early stage had basically completed all the processes and were leaving in batches according to the direction they chose. However, the people who had just arrived in Lonagan waited until the afternoon before they met government staff who were no longer soldiers in a small open-air square.
"Foreigner?"
Sitting on a row of connected long tables, Elena staff were wearing blue clothes, which looked very similar to military uniforms. Cassie Lonagan nodded and looked at the staff in front of them.
“What did you do before?”
"Worker."
“What kind of job?”
“E…had worked in a steam equipment factory and a foundry factory…”
Before Cassie Lonagan finished speaking, he saw the staff in front of him obviously excited, "Have you made a steam engine? It's great! How about you arrange for you to be a worker? One day off a week, thirty kilograms of grain stamps per month, and you don't need to work overtime if you are not special circumstances. The factory provides dormitories, sends clothes, and has a canteen. Just pay some food stamps for meals. It's not a money, what's the matter?"
When Cassie Lonagan heard this, he almost agreed. You know, he worked in the factory of Rand Power Company, and he only had half a day off a month, worked overtime at every turn, and had a pitiful salary, let alone the factory even sent clothes. However, he is no longer the worker who only knew how to work, and communism has completely changed him.
"Thank you, but I'm not here to be a worker this time, I'm here to see Gastens."
"Want to see the chairman?" The staff didn't seem particularly surprised by Lonagan's request. "Many people want to see the chairman. After you choose the direction, the chairman will go to the factory regularly. Moreover, if you want to go to night school, the chairman will also go to night school. Even if you are a farmer, you will have the opportunity to meet the chairman. Our chairman is different from those high-ranking officials outside. It is easy to meet and has no airs, so you don't have to worry about not being able to see him."
Cassie Lonagan was helpless about the initiative and enthusiasm of the staff in front of him. He smiled and reiterated, "I mean, I want to talk to the Chairman and ask for some advice."
"oh?"
The pen in the staff member stopped, and he looked up and looked at Cassie Lonagan carefully, and shouted with his head turned around.
"Uncle Lauwell, your job!"
Cassie Lonagan followed the staff's gaze and saw a gray-haired uncle, who was about forties, but his appearance was very old. The uncle heard the shout and quickly came over and asked the whole story in a few words. He looked at Cassie Lonagan, led him out of the team, and led him to several tables behind the small square.
"sit."
The uncle named Lawwell was not very enthusiastic about Cassie Lonagan, which surprised Cassie Lonagan. Since entering Elena, the staff of Elena, whether it was Mark Essimmon or the government staff just now, had a good attitude, and even made him doubt the authenticity. Now this Uncle Lawwell has made him feel a little bit facing the government agency again.
"You said you want to meet the chairman and chat alone? Why?"
Lawwell took out a notebook, wrote a few words, and began to record it. Lonagan smiled helplessly, told his origin again, and emphasized what Mark Esimmon had promised him to report to the upwards.
"What are you saying you're your name?" Lawwell kept making notes while Cassie Lonagan was speaking. Now that Cassie Lonagan has finished speaking, Lawwell raised his head and asked again.
"My name is Casey Lonagan, a man from the Third Republic of Vern-"
"Okay, I understand. You can continue to assign jobs first. Ailena doesn't support idle people, and you are not a formal diplomatic mission. You can assign a job first. If we verify your identity here, we will naturally go to you. By the way, you can see the construction of our Ailena, right?"
Hearing Lauwell's answer, Cassie Lonagan knew that he probably wouldn't be able to see Gastens today. However, this was much better than the result he expected. At least the other party did not block the road, and he was also very curious about Elena's operating model. So he no longer expressed his opinions on Lauwell's suggestions. He wrote some basic information on his notebook as required by Lauwell and found the staff member in the square again.
"I knew you would come back, and that uncle Lauwell must report to the upper hand. This is the first time we have met someone like you. However, since you said you had done a steam engine and had to meet Gastens, I will assign you to the Sixth Steam Factory in Moon City. That factory is newly built and there is a shortage of staff. How about it? Is it OK?"
Cassie Lonagan was surprised that he had the right to choose. He asked curiously while taking the pen handed to him by the worker.
"Can I say no?"
"Yes," the staff looked casual, "I don't want to have any other choices, but I can't be too picky. If I'm too picky, I can only let you do basic construction. That's all work. Although I get a lot of food coupons, I have to thank you for your hard work. Are you willing?"
Cassie Lonagan shook his head and watched the staff member put his signature and his handwritten name on a small card and handed it to himself.
"This is your resident card. With this, you are Alena's person, please keep it."
Cassie Lonagan took the card, moved out of the position, and looked carefully. It was a thick kraft card the size of a palm, very strong. On the front was a table with his own name, the date of joining Elena, and the signature of the staff. On the back were several lines of words, all in Fern. Cassie Lonagan couldn't quite understand it, so he could only see what it was about. With the card given to him, there was also a thin roll that could just put the card down and hang it on his waist. Cassie Lonagan put the card away and found Soderland not far away.
"Brother Lonagan, I have obtained the resident certificate! I want to be a farmer, four acres of land! They also gave me ten kilograms of grain coupons, saying that the fields were not harvested in winter, so I will live with this first, and plant the grains back and return them."
Sortland was obviously very excited. Cassie Lonagan looked at the food stamps, which were exquisitely made and looked comparable to the currency of this country. He guessed that this was the monetary system that Elena tried to establish, but he didn't say it out loud. He just touched it a few times and returned it to Sortland.
"I'm going to Moon City, and it's said that there is a sixth factory there, working as a worker. Where are you?"
"I'm in Diego," Soderland smiled, "Diago is close to Ankenryin, and the tax is half a year old. I want to wait for my brothers, so I won't leave here. They said there is a night school here, and when I learn to write, I'll write to you!"
When it comes to writing, Soderland was obviously very excited. Lonagan could see that Soderland was very interested and looked forward to literacy. He smiled at Soderland, talked to him about his days as a serf, and had another meal, then said goodbye to each other, and embarked on different paths.
The team to Moon City set out in the afternoon, because they were far away, they had to travel a long distance. Moreover, perhaps because of the post-war relationship, they had no carriage to sit on. A group of hundreds of people trek along the dirt road between the cities and walked for four days before they arrived at the outskirts of Moon City. Here, they saw another temporary gathering place similar to that of Diyago, with a canteen and hot water. These tired people had enough food and drink, took a shower, and after a night, they were taken away by the corresponding structure. Cassie Lonagan, along with most of the people who came here, was accepted by the Sixth Factory.
Lonagan did not know Elena's industrial system, but judging from the number of this factory, Elena owned no more than six factory soldiers. On the way to the factory, he thought he would meet a third-rate small factory. After all, Elena was just a revolutionary force that had just improved. Even if they had a great magician, Ankenry's steam technology was not as good as that of the Third Republic of Vern. He was a worker at Rand, the largest steam equipment company in the Republic of Vern. Naturally, his vision was
Not low. However, the fact surprised him again. Although the Sixth Factory claimed to be still under construction, the brand new factory and a large number of advanced equipment all explained to him that the technical level of this factory is not worse than that of the Rand Company's factory. Moreover, many of the production equipment do not have the manufacturer's brand name, nor are they any existing equipment he has seen. Lonagan did not know where these equipment were obtained from. He even suspected that Ankenry's surging power might not necessarily have these equipment.
"Everyone, the production and manufacturing of steam equipment is a very technical thing. Although you have been in related industries, we are not sure about the specific level. Therefore, in the next week, your work will mainly be to help and help. We will assign you to different workshops and arrange masters for you. After a week, we will arrange formal jobs for you based on the master's evaluation. Next, I will issue the workshop where people need them. You will register according to your interests. If you register more and less, we will adjust them again. Do you understand?"
Cassie Lonagan stopped for a while and was a little confused about the division of labor in the factory. Rand's manufacturing workshop was arranged according to serial numbers, and each workshop had the ability to produce steam equipment independently. Here, the workshop seemed to be arranged according to the process, rough processing, fine processing, assembly, and inspection of this classification method, which surprised and strange. He thought for a few seconds and signed up for the fine processing workshop based on his previous experience. Everyone seemed not familiar with this classification method, and the number of people registered in the four workshops was not much different. The factory manager finally adjusted a few people, even if the personnel assignment was completed. Cassie Lonagan followed a person wearing dirty work clothes in the fine processing workshop and his companions came to the workshop.
"Everyone, I am the section chief of the fine processing workshop. My name is Pilu Vardao. Today I will briefly introduce the production procedures of our workshop. If you don't understand, you can ask questions at any time."
Cassie Lonagan is observing the environment of the workshop. The brick and steel structure has a wide space and good light and field of view. The equipment in the workshop is placed along a thick yellow line on the floor, and there are arrows on the line. Lonagan guessed that this should be the direction of the equipment or the order of processing. The Valdao section chief on the stage saw that everyone had no questions and continued to explain.
"Our fine processing workshop mainly fine-processing parts transferred from the rough processing workshop to ensure that they meet the requirements of the design drawings. The equipment we mainly use is steam machine tools, lathes, etc. If you have used it in the original company, please raise your hand and tell me, and I will arrange a suitable location for you."
Cassie Lonagan raised his hand. He did it very complicated at Rand, from large cutting to machine tool processing, and later assembly, so he was naturally not afraid of machine tools. However, he was still thinking about the quality of Elena's method of doing the processes separately, and his reaction was a little slower.
Valdao seemed not to notice his slowness. He recorded the dozen people who raised his hand, started asking questions again, and gradually separated everyone from the group. Lonagan had a master of his own under his arrangement and also knew the main content of his work. By the time everyone became a little familiar with what they were going to do, the long day was over.
According to Valdao's instructions and the master's guidance, Lonagan found his dormitory, which was a row of old houses not far from the factory, and was made into a four-person room. Each of them had a bed, a cabinet and a table. The space was not large, and there was a lot of furniture, and it was also old. Valdao was not unfamiliar with this kind of dormitory. After going to the cafeteria to eat something, he fell asleep.
