This behemoth called a stamping machine has a very good appetite.
Master Winnie only saw a large pile of steel being swallowed into its stomach, and the next second it turned into cast parts being pulled... bah... spit out from the other side.
"All exactly the same?"
Master Winnie was brought by Lu Cheng to the discharge port of the stamping machine. This No. 11 stamping machine had already spit out the hood parts of three Dongfengs.
"All are the same. The steel is swallowed by this golem and then spit out in the shape we want. This component is the front guard plate of the car golem." Lu Cheng could only describe it in a way that he could understand as much as possible.
"I know! It's the hood!"
Elena raised her hand and spoke as if she was participating in some quiz show.
"Well, this is a part called the hood. The other parts of the car are basically produced like this and then assembled." Lu Cheng picked up the second hood part spit out by the stamping machine and said, "The errors of all the parts produced from this golem are so small that they can be ignored, so we can ensure that every assembled car golem is exactly the same."
"this…"
Master Winnie compared the two hoods brought by Lu Cheng. He could not tell any difference just by looking at them with the naked eye. Perhaps only a high-precision measuring instrument could measure the difference in size.
The potion master didn't know how to respond to this scene. He walked to the feed port of the press again and watched the steel plate being "eaten" by the press, accompanied by the sound of rumbling and something being crushed.
When Master Winnie ran to the discharge port again, another identical hood appeared at the discharge port.
"Is there anything you want to say?" Lu Cheng came to his side and asked.
"I'm not an expert in golem casting, so it's hard for me to give you an evaluation."
Master Winnie's head was a little fuzzy. The golem in front of him, called the stamping machine, had brought him such a great shock that his brain short-circuited for a moment.
"What if your friends who specialize in casting golems come?" Lu Cheng gave Master Winnie another way of thinking.
"They?" Master Winnie thought for a while and finally found a word to describe it. "This way of casting golems has no soul at all! Yes! No soul at all!"
“No soul?” Lu Cheng couldn’t help laughing when he heard this answer. “Sorry, I lost my composure, but… Hahaha.”
Lu Cheng's laughter stunned everyone present, including Levi, the guide. This was in front of the guests, but Lu Cheng was trying hard to control his laughter.
"What's so funny about this?" Master Winnie was just expressing this opinion in line with his friend's way of thinking, but Lu Cheng's laughter was obviously filled with a hint of ridicule.
"We in the Mystic Order firmly believe that powerful golems contain souls just like humans. When casting a golem, my friend is as devoted as he is to his lover. Even if it is a detail as small as a strand of hair, he will try his best to do his best!" Master Winnie spoke up to defend his friend's craftsmanship.
"Then maybe I should take you to Lamborghini or Morgan, but that's meaningless." Lu Cheng finally controlled the smile on his face when he said this. "I apologize for my impoliteness just now. I respect all craftsmen. Their persistence is a precious spirit, including your friend."
The reason why Lu Cheng laughed just now was... people on Earth and people from other worlds have the same wrong perception, that is, handmade items are always the best.
"In our world, there are also craftsmen who polish cars like they are lovers, but they are only a small minority. Let me ask you a simple question. How long does it take your friend to make a golem?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Three years! This is the fastest record." Master Winnie is still self-aware. The tone of his words is not arrogance but a sigh.
"Three years? We only need one day." Lu Cheng said to Master Winnie while holding the engine hood in his hand, "This engine hood will be sent to the assembly plant. The assembly plant also has golems for assembly. It only takes one day for a brand new Dongfeng car to appear in front of you."
After saying this, Lu Cheng put the hood in his hand back on the production line and led everyone to the other side of the factory.
"Mr. Winnie, I've said before that our country has 1.3 billion people, and now it's 1.4 billion." Lu Cheng turned around when he was walking in front, and spread his hands while walking backwards. "Note that it's 1.4 billion citizens, not slaves. They have the same rights as you and me sitting here. That means 1.3 billion people are eligible to buy a car, or even two... In this case, do you think we have time to create that kind of 'golem with soul'?"
"Lord Lucheng, I think I understand what you want to say." Master Winnie looked around the entire factory. He only saw the figure of the golem, but no human.
These golems operate automatically. They are tireless and don't know how to stop. Their manufacturing process is hundreds of times more precise than that of humans.
"Do you understand what I mean? Can I listen?" Lu Cheng stopped here.
"My apprentice Nancy once told me about the idea of using golems to replace humans in production. But the most difficult part, that is, the magic power, has been solved here."
Master Winnie had long heard from Dr. Ji Chuan that the energy source in the camp was lightning. Although he didn't know how this group of people captured the lightning, the power of lightning could keep these golems running endlessly.
"Teacher Winnie, my country has already built this kind of alchemy factory with the help of the Celestial Empire, but the purpose of the factory is to refine steel." Nancy reminded her mentor that her original dream had been fully realized.
"You already have this kind of golem?" Master Winnie was even more surprised when he heard this than when he saw the stamping machine.
Nancy was stunned for a moment when she saw the surprised expression on her mentor's face, and then the most beautiful smile appeared on her face since Lu Cheng met her.
"The workshop is still under construction and will be there soon," said Nancy.
"Mr. Winnie, what Xiu Enzhelai urgently needs now is steel. Our golems can also produce some other things, such as potions." Lu Cheng told Master Winnie his true purpose.
The old spellcaster clenched his staff tightly, and he seemed to be struggling in his heart.
"I will give you an answer after this journey, Lord Lucheng."
Master Winnie knew that this was an opportunity, but he now represented the entire Secret Society, and he needed to discuss with the Secret Society before making a decision.
"It's okay. Next we are going to the assembly workshop. It's a bit far away. Follow me." Lu Cheng continued to act as a tour guide.
