Holy Continent, year 3251 of the Waller calendar.
Spring, July 8th.
Su Lian and Nalin traveled through several countries, and after using the magic props given by Ersha to confirm that there was no tracking, they returned to the Kingdom of Avisu.
Bosch District, Alling.
Su Lian returned to the magic core manufacturing plant hidden in the mountains first.
Hey! Long time no see, young boss. You look even more handsome now. Uncle Cam greeted him while lying on a machine.
The area of this factory is not very large, after all, there are only so many people working there for a long time, but the extra living area is quite large. And with the magic pump station supplying magic power, the continuous lighting makes it as bright as day inside the mountain.
What is the production volume of magic cores? Su Lian asked directly.
It's okay. Due to the limited material supply, we have only produced 1,600 low-level magic cores so far, even though production only started at the beginning of this year. Uncle Cam said roughly.
There are a total of 212 first-level third-level magicians involved in the production, right? On average, each person can only produce one per month? Su Lian was a little dissatisfied with the output.
Be content. The materials were almost used up in March and April. The subsequent blockade of the kingdom was so severe that we had to rely on other chambers of commerce to scrape together some materials to continue production. We have nothing to do here, so we directly ordered a set of fuel engine machine tools for you. Uncle Cam said.
A set? With a continuous supply of magic power, can it be produced sustainably? Su Lian was a little surprised.
Yes, but the basic parts still need to be forged manually. Put the forged parts in the designated position, and the complete set of machine tools will automatically produce the remaining parts and complete the assembly.
I have also checked the pass rate, and it is over 95%.
Then I'll get some spare parts and machine tools. With the magic pump station supplying magic power continuously, as long as there are enough raw materials, I'll produce as many fuel engines as you send in.
Uncle Cam said proudly!
A complete machine tool for assembly-line production of fuel engines, what wonderful news!
As long as there are enough fuel engines, then not only tanks, but other multifunctional means of transportation can be fully deployed!
The Magic Car can indeed change the transportation pattern, but if it wants to grow further, it must rely on cheaper fuel engines!
Now Uncle Cam and his gang have even made machine tools. Are they the goblins?
What is the horsepower of mass production? Su Lian asked quickly.
Horsepower? Oh, that's the unit you set before. It's about 20 horsepower. It's equivalent to the level of a horse-drawn carriage, but it can continue to operate as long as it is fed with fuel. It is indeed much better than a horse-drawn carriage. I have to say, young boss, these inventions of yours are really practical! Uncle Cam also praised.
Originally a horse had about fifteen horsepower, but horses in this world were generally a little stronger.
Can it be optimized further? Su Lian asked.
Of course you can, but it will take some time, and the subsequent plans will have to be changed. Uncle Cam.
Then let's put the optimization issue first. How long will it take to increase the horsepower of fuel engines produced by mass-produced machine tools to 40 to 50? What if it is higher? Su Lian asked.
After he gave Uncle Cam the basic fuel engine blueprint, with his original goblin mechanic skills, he made a fuel engine with 120 horsepower in a short period of time. If he wanted to improve it later, he would need to use alchemy to refine the fuel quality.
If it's fifty... I estimate it will take two months to do it.
It's almost like we need to optimize the entire machine tool. If you, boss, still want us to make parts and components, it will take another month.
No, it will take two more months, after all, the benchmark is the optimized machine tool.
Uncle Cam made a rough estimate.
Four months!
These goblins and human mechanics can build a complete set of 40 to 50 horsepower fuel-powered machine tools, and with a continuous supply of magic power, they can achieve assembly line production!
SoMust be implemented immediately!
Replan the schedule now and postpone all non-essential production, including the production of low-level magic cores! Make sure that the entire fuel engine assembly line machine tool is completed within three months, at least before I go to the Alfa Empire again! Su Lian directly changed it into an order.
Young boss, are you serious? You're not in a hurry for the magic core? Uncle Cam was stunned.
No rush! I will go back and discuss it with grandpa and the others later. If you still have questions, then look at these drawings. Su Lian directly handed out some magic crystals.
Uncle Cam looked at the seven magic crystals floating in front of him, and suspiciously opened one to see the contents.
Looking at the first piece, his brows furrowed.
Looking at the second piece, his brows are already furrowed.
Looking at the third piece, my breathing became a little rapid.
Uncle Cam watched all seven pieces in a row and felt so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his chest!
What Su Lian gave him were all drawings of various transport vehicles!
Large trucks and small trucks for transporting goods;
Large vehicles and small vehicles carrying people;
Forklifts used in factories;
Small excavators, loaders, cranes;
As long as the fuel engine has enough horsepower, these machines can be manufactured without the need for the magic core that must be manually manufactured by a magician!
Hiss—whoosh—!
Uncle Cam took a deep breath.
Let me take it easy first, the force is a bit too strong... Uncle Cam said, covering his chest.
I felt my excited heart was about to jump out!
Oh shit!
Why didn't we, who invented the Magic Core, think of simplifying the process?
Minimize and optimize the magic core, and don't drive the knight mecha, which requires high power and pursues the direction of extreme output. Instead, completely miniaturize it so that it can be mass-produced to make multi-functional auxiliary tools to improve overall productivity?
completely!
I didn't think about this direction at all!
Now Uncle Cam, you should understand, right?
After the magic element power core was created by that genius, and the powerful Darita mecha was made from it, all the mechanics in the world were blinded by the subsequent power of Darita, and they only wanted to develop in a stronger, bigger and more extreme direction.
Because being strong represents combat power!
Su Lian understood very well the reason why the development direction of the world's technology tree was distorted.
Because war only requires a strong existence!
Only by constantly becoming stronger can we have a foothold, which leads to the fact that the research direction of all magic cores is how to make the country's knight mecha stronger!
Higher power magic output!
More powerful mobility and explosive power!
Even more extraordinary magic power reserves!
This is the direction that war needs to be studied and the fundamental way to defeat the enemy!
That is...
This world has fallen into a misunderstanding.
Wow... young boss, you have denied all of us. I'm at a loss as to what to do. Uncle Cam held his forehead with his hand, feeling a slight headache.
You should have realized this when I gave you the tank and aircraft drawings. Su Lian said calmly.
The main reason is that they are still using the magic core, and they even think that if they use a better magic core, they can even make better tanks and planes. Especially planes, which can better speed up in the air and increase their power to a greater extent.
Now I find that this idea seems to have fallen into our traditional misunderstanding.
Sometimes, it is necessary to strengthen the basics!
Uncle Cam couldn't help but sigh.
He himself was also a goblin who was caught in a misunderstanding.
So this machine tool must be given top priority. Su Lian said again.
I understand, I completely understand, young boss, don't worry! Even if I only sleep five hours a day for these three months, I will make you a fuel engine machine tool with more than 50 horsepower! Uncle Cam said confidently!
He also wants to witness the new era that he has helped to usher in!
Don't worry. Health is the most important. The reason why I'm urging the progress is because I've brought back new technologies that need to be studied. So finish it as early as possible so that we can study these things together. Su Lian said.
Then sleep one more hour. Uncle Cam said seriously!
At least seven hours a day, no less! Su Lian was also determined.
Okay then... Uncle Cam accepted reluctantly.
Another point is that even if you can mass-produce fuel engines, you can only produce a small number of excavators, loaders, cranes, and forklifts to assist in the operation. Other vehicles are not allowed to be produced, let alone appear in the public eye.
We can continue to optimize it, and even continue to develop based on it.
But we must not let the fuel oil leak out, at least until we control the large-scale fuel oil production areas.
Su Lian said seriously.
Don't worry. The magicians we hire later are only capable of making parts of the machine tools. They have no idea what the complete machine tools are used for. The rest of the transport vehicles are still using our minimized magic cores. Uncle Cam.
The machine tools are now isolated in another area, and those guys who are not trusted by Ersha in the future do not know their use.
Those guys just need to continue making ordinary low-level magic cores.
But after you have conquered a larger territory, we can officially start production, right? Uncle Cam said, rubbing his hands.
He looked eager to try, and as a mechanic it was hard to resist this kind of thing.
Almost. Now the second thing is to call Teacher Mavis and the others to come and study new things with me. Su Lian said with a smile.
Oh? Okay, tell me first, what new thing is it? Uncle Cam asked curiously.
The new technology in communications far exceeds the communication technology of all countries and races! Su Lian said confidently!
Okay! Just wait, young boss. I'll go call those trustworthy guys over now! Uncle Cam turned around quickly.
It was obvious that they were going to drag someone directly from the research station.
Important matters cannot be delayed.
