Lance utilized the river flowing through the town to forge a hydraulic forging hammer, reducing the workload for crafting rough parts. He also streamlined the process by adopting a division of labor, where each worker specialized in different steps rather than each being responsible for crafting a complete musket.
At the same time, he introduced standards for workpieces. Bonuses were offered on top of basic wages for quality work, rewarding hard work and productivity. Inferior workpieces were rejected. At regular intervals, the material wastage ratio was calculated and posted on the leaderboard, with monetary rewards for the top three performers.
Money paved the way. Despite the especially hot and dry conditions from the forge's high temperatures, the craftsmen's enthusiasm remained undampened. Everyone was busily engaged in their work.
Lance continued further in. In the back was the shooting range where Eugene and the researchers were testing this new type of musket.
