171 5.60 Tremendously Huge Profits And Paying Back To Society. (1/2)

Meanwhile in Kitakata, Hiko-sama and I were pondering what had happened to the guys that made them failed to return or deliver a note but we bade them a safe journey to and fro. Since they have to cover 3 major towns, we won't be expecting to return so soon as well as having to perform 2 separate tasks in town.

After we had briefed the new batch of girls, even Hiko-sama was getting confused with their names as they looked rather familiar. He asked what I would do in my past life and I told him to hang a nameplate so we could recognise from adat and he said it was a good idea.

Until I told him it was a joke and he laughed! I told him a name tag would suffice but it was too far to recognise and I suggest a sleeveless kind of light vest that has their name on their left breast pocket and NOT physically on their breasts! At least we could address their names and also our corporation name at the back of the vest.

I explained that this type of vest is normal in my past life for those policemen, patrolman, safety officers and even sports players. Hiko-sama liked the idea very much and we can set out to work on that.

Everything worked like clockwork and I had slipped to the Realm of Mind to gather all the moulds and evaporation trays back to the real world while I made Hiko-sama drummed on the barrels and made some noise in the Ops Room so no one notices anything unusual.

We set up the productions properly and showed the line leaders on the initial process for the Kurin and Feroa Kurina as we explain it was the same as making the Hae Shanpu except there's no heat and water involved. The base would be thinly spread on the wooden evaporation trays and scraped once hardened and grounded.

Only the baking powder would be heated to make washing soda in 1-kilogram batches at a time. I explained the measurements for all ingredients properly and it was noted on the table of the product line so no one can forget.

The same goes for the Karada Soap as no heat and water are involved like the Hae Shanpu. After the mixture had been mixed and once becomes lumpy, it could go straight to the mould with the 3 long bars which would be cut after a week.

At the meantime, to wait for the Karada Soap and the contents in the evaporation tray to harden, they could make paper bags or whatever jobs in order to make the like running.

I explain that it would be fully running and functioning and the storekeeper would be responsible to hoist the moulding sets and its scent carefully labelled, stacked in accordance to what time and date it was being set.

I told them Hiko-sama and I would be monitoring the whole process and so the whole process was commenced at 7 am with the 3 lines running simultaneously.

The 2 ladies had arrived early as they prepared breakfast and morning tea when the goods that we had ordered the night before arrived very early in the morning at 6 am. I looked at the scene and was delighted that this barren land before had now being filled with activity.

Some neighbours were asking why we had set up a business here and we explained that the business and trading district had no more space to be built up except if we wanted to make a factory in the northern side and have the skeleton warriors as our workers. We laughed together as I refer to it as a sarcastic answer to their stupid queries.

I told Hiko-sama that I would like to design a smelting pot that would be able to inject or pour on the moulding trays in a way that it would flow into each individual plate if the Molten metal were to be injected from the centre with a convex surface. The timing is crucial as it is not being poured individually like before.

Hiko-sama said we can try to do it and see how the progress. I said that in this way the production would be much faster than before as the stamp ouls already be marked inside the individual plate mould.

The problem is I have never seen a foundry before but I could make a design something like a cake shop with an injector module above and into the moulding tray of cookies and muffins. Hmmmm... I wonder if it is workable.

Anything is possible in the Realm of Mind and we decided to enter it and see if the visualisation could work up something for us. So we went to our house and enters the meditative state and soon enters the Realm of Mind.

In the Blacksmithing area, I decided to scrap everything and back to zero leaving the pile of junk on the ground. I sat cross-legged with Hiko-sama and visualised a huge smelting pot on a low-level platform with automated bellows this time.

The huge smelting pot looked like a cauldron but had a swing arm boom on top and a tipping mechanism to pour the molten metal into a dispenser also on the same level. In this way when the Molten metal is ready, the slag and other impurities could be removed manually and the swing arm boom would carry the smelting pot and tipped the contents into the dispenser unit.

This would be done by hydraulics that would be manually operated by manning the swing arm boom.

The dispenser unit had a swing arm boom as well and it will be raised so that a roller platform would be laid around 2 meters long underneath the dispenser unit. A marked yellow box would be the spot to place the moulding tray and thus the time it would be large enough to hold 10 equal-sized plates instead of the usual five.

A step pedal would be placed underneath the target area so it would be operated on a 2-second release valve based on a hydraulic system, so a single step would eject a stream of molten metal at a height of just 2 or 3 inches above the centre of the moulding set. This prevents splashing and causes harm to the operator.

A marked box on the floor meant for the empty moulding set next to the step pedal enables the operator to manually place the moulding set before stepping the pedal to release the stream of Molten metal on it.

This simple mechanism was based on my visualisation on how it would work in the real world and in my imagination. After visualisation, the parts began to slowly integrate and became visible and Hiko-sama was surprised I could think of such contraption. He asked why I can't visualise the Seijuro Tumbler Machine and I replied I can't visualise delicate parts.

Once the contraption of the furnace, automated bellows, smelting pot, dispenser unit and rollers had materialised we set a small sample first and may need to make certain adjustments if need be.

The new moulding sets have the initials marked out inside each of the plate set. I placed a tray underneath the marked zone and threw some pieces of metal inside the smelting pot. After removing the slag and impurities, I raised the boom and tipped the contents into the dispenser unit.

I used the boom again to raise it and locked in place just above the marked zone and I stepped on the pedal and a hydraulic ejector sounded and released a 2 second stream of hit Molten metal onto the surface of the moulding set and the molten lava quickly flowed from the centre and filled up the empty moulds. It was not that as perfect as it seemed and I adjusted the release timer until I got a perfect distributed molten metal on the moulding set.

I locked all the settings and the first few trays that were tested, Hiko-sama lifted them and pours the contents back into the smelting pot using heavy thick industrial fire and heatproof gloves.

I looked at Hiko-sama and said, ”Let's try this baby out on full load. All you have to do it standby at the end there and stack them on a pallet directly when it reaches you. This 2-metre track would at least fill 5 or more trays. Let it cool for a while before handling them, understood, Sensei?”

”Hee... Hee... Hee... Let it rip kid! Go! Go! Go!” said Hiko-sama excitedly as we could produce a lot more in this way. We set the time and clocked our timing and speed of production.

After 3 hours in the Realm of Mind, we had managed to fill up 1,080 trays which had an output of 10,800 pieces of Refined Iron using this automated setup.

After much trial and error, we could produce a better system that we don't even break our sweat!

Each pallet holds 100 moulding sets and we had filled 108 pallets and the whole production area looked 5 times bigger than our own warehouse.

Now we just need to spend 3 hours in the Realm of Mind that is equivalent to 1 hour in the real world. We high five in the air and whoop for joy as since Hiko-sama doesn't even perform a chest bump at all.

Feeling overjoyed and satisfied, we logged off our meditative state and went back to our real world. We have the confidence to supply even more pieces of Refined Iron to Aizuwakamatsu, Yonezawa and Shibata on a single run of production.

We laughed and slapped our backs as we congratulate each other and broke a jar of sake and drank, even it was in the daytime. We walked to the garden bringing the jar with us and looked through the receipts of goods that we had paid for earlier in the day and something caught my eye. A single 50 kilograms sack of grains only cost only 2 gold and 5 silver which means a 10 kilogram of grains would cost 5 silvers.

To distribute to 450 households means it would be a total of 4500 kilograms of grains or 4.5 tonnes which is equivalent to 225 gold.

”Want to join me and rub some tummies, Sensei?” Hiko-sama looked at me and thought that I had gone drunk and wanted to molest those girls in the warehouse as I stood up.
