Fourteen kilometers away, in the valley north of Houllier City, a rectangular building stood out in the open space.
This is obviously not a fortress prepared for war. If you look closely, you can see that its shape is square, like a regular box, covering an area of over a thousand square meters.
This valley is the area where Kardashian and others conducted the "guided missile" test. Not far away, there are many pits and debris caused by the explosion before the take-off of the previous failed works, but now the ground has been covered by snow. cover.
A road leads here from the outside world far away, but there are three layers of guards guarding it with live ammunition along the way. There are more specialized troops patrolling the periphery of the factory.
In the small windows, flashes of different colors flickered, but none of the soldiers went in to take a look. They have been guarding outside so far, and no one knows what is going on inside.
"Om—"
Rows of spars began to pour energy at the same time, and the heavy and huge metal gears began to rotate. Iscar, who was wearing a hard hat, stared intently at the pointers in front of him, and suddenly shouted: "Okay! Unload! Punch!"
There was a peculiar sound of compression. After the stamping machine finished working, the stamped steel shell was cooled and removed from the mold through the mechanical structure.
Kardashian stepped forward, holding a pistol-like instrument in her hand to test the perfect curved steel plate, and other people around surrounded her—looking around, there was no strength left except for "Elder Glory". The lowest ones are all high-level mages, and there are twelve dragons.
They held their breath, and when Kardashian exhaled and said "passed the test", there was a burst of cheers inside the "factory", followed by big applause.
Because the "stamping machine" they worked so hard to develop finally met the requirements and produced a "missile casing" that met the standard!
This invention can not only greatly shorten the production time of "guided missiles", but also advance the level of "magic industry" by a large amount. Many patented structure arrays used in it will greatly improve the current world's other Efficiency of industrial instruments.
"Everyone started to try the assembly line for the first time! It is expected to be 8 hours, let's see the speed of fitting!"
"good!"
Kardashian clapped her hands, and everyone immediately returned to their seats and started to get busy. There are a total of twenty-seven mages and dragons in the factory, and they are absolutely high-end forces wherever they are placed. At this time, they are all wearing "work clothes" and "hard hats" uniformly, and they are quickly in place on their respective production lines. And following the steps of countless drills, the first "assembly line assembly" was started.
The previous metal missile casing required the red dragon and black dragon to carefully control the steps from the beginning of smelting materials, but even though they had superb magic control power, they could not achieve a high degree of consistency after all... After each material was formed, often due to The different stresses often lead to irregular deformation of the shell when it is slightly heated, and eventually the missile disintegrates in the air.
Now, after changing the material formula and using "high tonnage stamping machine" for mold manufacturing, almost all problems have been solved for the first time. When the "material" and "housing process" no longer hinder the speed of mass production, the rest of the steps proceed very quickly - the first missile on the production line was tested and assembled in only 40 minutes, and it was confirmed after testing that " qualified".
This means that in the following days, as long as the supply of raw materials is in place, they already have the ability to mass-produce "guided missiles"...
The entire factory went through eight hours of trial assembly in full swing, and produced 15 missiles in total. This shows that after running-in in all aspects, the production interval of each missile is constantly shortening.
Although two of all the products were unqualified, compared with the previous "defective rate" of more than half, this has actually been a considerable improvement.
However, faced with such a gratifying result, Kardashian was not as eager as before to ask Roddy to show her merits. Instead, she planned to improve the process while chatting with other people about the "Planar Array Research Department" Current Progress.
"There has been no new news over there, can't it be that the progress is not going well?"
"According to the authority, we should have no way to know the first time. Their confidentiality level is the same as ours."
"But didn't there be any movement last week?"
"Who knows if that's the sound from the collapse of the portal, just wait and see..."
"Okay, everyone can rest today, and continue to improve the craft tomorrow, after that—"
In the middle of speaking, Kardashian stopped suddenly, because when the noisy machinery of the factory was shut down, the noisy footsteps outside were especially obvious.
"What's happening?"
She was a little strange, but the next moment she heard the warning sound from the alarm circle outside—everyone's face changed, because it meant that the guards outside believed that they might "encounter danger".
But who can attack a place like this
Not only Kardashian, but others also find it difficult to imagine who in the current kingdom would come here so blindly... You must know that the army outside the door is the elite of Rody's direct line, with powerful spears and short cannons. There is not a single weak person here, even the "helper" who is an apprentice next to him is a high-level magician, let alone the twelve dragons who can really transform.
Their team of less than 30 people is more than enough to destroy an ordinary army.
Therefore, after hearing the alarm, instead of hiding, they collectively wore work clothes and went outdoors. At this time, the army responsible for the security work had already retracted their defenses and set up roadblocks on the road. However, after everyone came out, they found Nothing at all…
"Where is the enemy?"
"I'm afraid—over there."
With sharp eyes, Iscar raised his finger to the west, surrounded by mountains, but under the blue sky, a dim smog could be seen faintly.
This is the "beacon" that is still in use in the Kingdom Border area.
In other words, there is a dangerous situation at the border with the Nehemia prairie.
"What do you mean? Orcs can't think about it anymore?"
"It seems that a group of orcs who besieged Elson City retreated to the grassland, but the kingdom has put down many sentry points in the grassland in the past two years. Maybe this is because they discovered that the other party has changed?"
After the initial surprise, they quickly returned to calm and discussed in the cold wind with their shoulders hugged. But the soldiers around did not dare to slack off. The total number of garrison troops exceeds 800, and there are two artillery vehicles. At this time, they are all ready to meet the enemy at any time—even if the opponent may be hundreds of kilometers away.
Exploration troops have been dispatched, the snow in the mountains is thick, and it is difficult for war horses to pass except for the road area. However, such road conditions are not difficult for the elite troops of the Karen Kingdom who have been prepared for a long time: two tracked armored vehicles will soon carry the communication method. The array left everyone's sight and disappeared in the shadow of the trees.
And at almost the same time, an emergency meeting of the cabinet had already been held in the magic tower, and the cabinet members who rushed over were all nervous - because the first thing they thought of was not the orcs, but the demon forces that had become more active recently...
