Monster Factory Chapter 42: New product for the old factory

Chapter 42: New product for the old factory

Translated by me, edited by Fade.

At this moment, Ye Qing is busying himself in gathering all the materials needed to construct the rapid metal engraver.

Compared to the cutters the factory produced before, this kind of new equipment’s technical requirements are undoubtedly much higher.

First, precision. The original cutters weren’t precise at all, or rather it’s not very precise. As long as the blade didn’t deviate while cutting, or the guide didn’t deviate, then it’s suitable for sale at a low price.

However this won’t work with the rapid metal engraver, The blueprint from the lottery requires a precision level that is out of this world.

Guide precision, main axle precision, drive chain precision, ……

These are completely not a problem. In front of monster’s inhuman abilities, the resulting precision will only be higher.

Now that precision isn’t a problem, then there is only the problem with the materials. For the parts like motor, drive chain, and controls systems, Ye Qing has no way of making them at the moment, hence he can only resort to purchasing readily available parts.

These things aren’t anything high tech, so they are always available on the market. All that’s left is for Ye Qing to find a reasonable price to buy them at.

Noon, Ye Qing with a somewhat cold bento, is sitting there eating while overseeing the monsters work.

The renovations for a new factory at Dragon creek beach are pretty much complete. 2 golem like master artisans with 2 peons were creating precise parts and a.s.sembling them into the rapid metal engraver.

As for the other 8 peons, they were left to continue carving out new curbstones.

At this time, Ye Qing’s dad, Ye Jiangning, called.

During the call, Ye Jiangning puzzledly asked Ye Qing what’s going on today. He received many strange calls today, even Zhongyun Television station wanted an interview.

“Many house wives asked for our factory’s information on alibaba.com, what our factory makes, and if there were any rice cookers or vacuum cleaners for sale.”

“They even said that someone advertised the factory on the news, and even praised us for having superior products that can even cut through American made blast doors, and how proud they were to be from Zhongyun and what not.

Ye Qing knew that the situation from last night would be on the noon news. Expect he never would’ve thought the factory would receive this much attention.

“One of my old cla.s.smate is part of the special investigation team now. Last night they were out catching criminals, except some of them hid themselves in a entertainment club’s storeroom.” Ye Qing walked out of the noisy workshop and faced the grand ocean: “Since our factory mainly makes cutting tools, she called me to help cut the door open and I went.”

“The guys from Hongxin shipyard were invited over by the club owner, they weren’t able to cut it open, but I did”

“I just saw the news on the internet, you even bought a plasma cutter?”

“It’s a pulsed plasma cutter.” Ye Qing corrected: “These machines were pretty popular a couple of years back. Sadly only specialized factories have them at the moment. So I had to borrow it from one of the curbstone partners.”

“Sadly we don’t make any rice cooker or vacuum cleaners. Otherwise we would definitely use this opportunity to make a small fortune.” Ye Jiangning didn’t ask for too much detail. Pulsed plasma cutters were pretty popular a couple of years back, so being able to borrow one now isn’t strange at all. It’s just their factory has no use for one.

“I know right? Such a good opportunity wasted. Which family would buy industry grade cutting tools. It’s not like they’ll buy it just to cut pork bones.”

“Sigh what a pity. Right now my phone’s ringing non-stop. Even Zhongyun Television Station want’s an on site interview.” The more Ye Jiangning thinks about it, the more he’s regretting: “Back then we were begging people to buy our products. Now others are begging us to sell them things, except we have nothing to sell.”

“*Sigh* ~ this will only last at most a couple of days. After that, if we still want to find chances like this, then that’s completely a daydream.”

“Products to sell……” Ye Qing suddenly thought of something.

Oh right!

After the Monster Factory leveled up to level 2, it unlocked a mechanical research lab, it even has 12 different blueprints to choose from.

6 household blueprints, 6 industrial blueprints.

Household products. Isn’t it just stuff like rice cookers, electric scooters, and washing machines?

See, look at these product’s names, [Never stick rice cooker], [Fast charging electric tricycle], [Extra strong dirt removing washing machine], ……

How amazing do they sound!

Of course the industrial ones are also sound very amazing, stuff like automated drill, high speed press, rapid metal engraver and so on.

Before Ye Qing mainly dealt with industrial grade cutting machines and has much experience with them. Plus drawing the already popular rapid metal engrave blueprint.

Thus ignoring and forgetting about all of those household products.

Although making industrial equipment is a way to make money.

But making household items can also earn a fortune.

Ye Qing before always thought of having his dad manage the old factory, then with parts created by the monsters, to create something new.

Get a good reputation for the old factory, then it’ll become really easy to expand and be stronger.

This way, people will forget about Ye Qing and his black tech.

At the same time, this will also allow Ye Qing’s new factory to develop stably. Furthermore in this world, there is no company, that can achieve international status by just producing one machine.

They of course need good household products, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to stay on par with the compet.i.tion.

Now with such a great opportunity in front of him, at the same time being able to revitalize the old factory and have his dad continue managing his business.

Hanging up the call, Ye Qing immediately found a seat nearby, pulled out the Monster Factory and began to explore the mechanical research laboratory.

Blueprints apart from being won through the lottery, can also be directly bought with gold.

Before Ye Qing was afraid of eating too much at one time and not being able to digest everything, hence didn’t bother with the other blueprints.

Now to pick a household item, then give it to the old factory to make. Have dad hire the needed workers to make it and then market the product. This definitely has some good prospects.

Rice cookers, washing machines, electric scooters, tricycles, range hoods, and refrigerators.

Ye Qing is now looking for a blueprint that is easy and quick to make.

From the provided introduction only the rice cooker and the range hood are definitely the easiest to make. However Ye Qing who spent his life with machines understands, although a rice cooker might appear easy to a.s.semble, it’s internal structure, is the hardest to make out all 6 blueprints. Not only does it require high tech plating, but also needs industrial presses.

Range hoods might be the second easiest, but the metal plating required is simply too much, and the materials needed all need to be highly reflective.

Electrical scooters and tricycles?

They are easy, all the required parts are all pretty common, and it’s mainly all a.s.sembling work.

As long as it’s a.s.sembled correctly, then no matter how it looks, at least it’s a working electrical scooter.

These scooters are also easy to price and the market has great demands for them. A two wheel scooter can easily sell for 2000 yuan, a three wheeled one goes from 6/7000 to close to 10,000 yuan.

Carefully examining each blueprints’ advantages and disadvantages, Ye Qing in the end decided to buy a copy of the two wheel electric scooter blueprint.

Not only is there a great need for them on the market, but it’s also easy to a.s.semble. Even electric scooter dealers can create these out of spare parts, and sell them at an affordable price. So it’s definitely a suitable choice.

It’s just that the blueprint is so expensive, 1000 gold.

No can do, Ye Qing can only write a 100,000 yuan check and transfer it over to the Monster Factory.

“Ding ~ Congratulations for obtaining your second blueprint!”
