The first impression you get when entering the Forger's Hall is the heat, so hot that you feel as if you're in a sauna.
In order to create a comfortable working environment for the workers, everyone will be given a badge made with the power of frost to resist the suffocating heat wave. Both the tauren and the frost elves liked this benefit and said that it really made their work easier. The efficiency increased, but the new group of thunderstone dwarves ignored it.
This group of dwarves who are crazy about forging unanimously expressed that they have to sweat profusely in the heat and hit the hammer like rain in order to fully release the passion in their hearts. Wearing the badges lowers the surrounding temperature, which makes people feel comfortable, but in their hearts The fire of enthusiasm for forging was also extinguished. For this reason, many Thunderstone dwarves will take off their badges when forging, and then go to the forger's hall with an average temperature of 50 degrees in front of the boiler and 70 degrees, one by one with their necks bare. He made himself covered in stinky sweat.
Regarding this group of weirdos, Solak, the mountain dwarf, the person in charge of the Forge Hall, said that they were just happy.
The forger hall now uses high-efficiency assembly operations, and in order to further increase production capacity, Yalin exchanged many old-fashioned machine tools from the system for the workers of these other worlds to work with, not to mention the machines born from the system. Creatures, Thunderstone dwarves, as local residents of another world, were very surprised after seeing various machine tools. However, the dwarves' natural talent for creation will soon allow them to understand the purpose of machine tools, and the role of machine tools. Amazed.
If the various accessories of the Demon Knight are produced entirely by hand, it will not only be inefficient, but also have different specifications. The emergence of machine tools has not only improved production efficiency, but also led the accessories to start on the road to standardization.
certainly! Just like cheating, having a few machine tools does not mean that standard industrialization can be realized immediately. It is one thing to be able to use the machine tools, but another thing, because the machine tools are all antique models from the World War II era, and they are still difficult to control. To test the skills of workers, there is a huge difference between the parts made by a skilled technician and those made by a novice. Dwarves have a unique talent for forging, but no matter how amazing the talent is, it still takes time to accumulate experience bit by bit.
An overseer who was responsible for taking Yalin to visit said as he walked: "The machine tool that splits the thunderstone dwarves is very popular. It is usually used by their leader Dink Tier and a few veterans. Some of them are not very skilled. The little boy Dinktil didn’t even allow them to touch him, he was only allowed to watch from the side.”
In addition to making parts for the Demon Knight, Yalin also learned that after the work was over, these dwarfs actually used machine tools to polish weapons and armor, and now there are two half-processed battle axes and two polished sides next to the machine tool. A triangular shield that can almost be used as a mirror. It’s no wonder that these little guys have such a high number of applications for various types of milling cutters.
"These dwarfs actually used such precious machine tools to do such a thing..." Yalin was speechless.
Although I did promise that as long as they complete their daily work tasks, they can do their own thing the rest of the time, but they shouldn't waste precious machine tools like this. Until now, these milling cutters are still consumables that cannot be produced by themselves. They can only be exchanged for material energy from the summoning system, and although the price is not too expensive, it is by no means cheap. In order to make Demon Knight Yalin, I would not worry about this little money, but in order to build several weapons and armors. This makes people feel a little bit unworthy. You can’t build it with your own hammer and other tools!
"Those dwarves have tasted the sweetness of using machine tools. After they build their weapons and armor, they like to use machine tools to grind and polish them in a trace. After all, it is indeed faster than taking their swords to a whetstone and grinding them slowly. More, and the effect is much better," the person in charge also said helplessly.
never mind!
Yalin didn't want to pour cold water on the enthusiasm of these little dwarfs. It was originally planned to use machine tools to produce parts and even the production of machine tools themselves. It would be better for people to start to explore and produce some machine tool accessories by themselves. Thinking of this, Yalin simply decided A few tool grinders were exchanged and the person in charge was asked to supervise these dwarves so that they could learn how to make milling cutters by themselves.
When the grinder was just set up, a red figure suddenly ran up to Yalin. The girl with bright blond hair and crimson eyes matched her delicate and beautiful face. She had an elegant and proud temperament and looked like she was from a noble family. She quickly straightened her appearance and said, "Hello, Mr. Yalin, I'm sorry~ I was having a meal just now and didn't know you were here." Inspected.”
Elmina Ax! In the game "Magic Shell", Yu Gasol is one of the three swordsmen of the United Kingdom. He is good at taking charge of military affairs. Through observation of Yalin during this period, it has indeed been proved that Elmina is very good at it and is in the military industry. A lot of effort went into construction and development.
"Nothing, I'm just here to take a look." Yalin signaled to Elmina that there was no need to be polite.
Originally, Elmina wanted to take over the supervision job and take Yalin to continue the tour in person, but Yalin had finished reading everything she should see. Instead, she gave Elmina a general explanation of the uses of the newly exchanged tool grinder, and asked her to Responsible for distributing these grinders.
Elmina is good at military affairs. Naturally, she also has a strong interest in many new technologies. In the heart of this girl who seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, all new technologies that can improve military production capacity are valuable. Originally, girls were generally not interested in industrial knowledge, but Elmina listened with interest and fiddled with the grinder under Yalin's guidance from time to time.
After confirming the basic usage of the grinder, Elmina murmured to herself while thinking: "If this continues, I'm afraid we will have to allocate more people for training. Sir Yalin, can you allocate some people here? Here at the forge. The manpower on the side is still quite scarce.”
"Okay. How much do you want?" Yalin agreed generously.
However, Elmina raised her eyebrows: "I hope to send some skilled workers. The ones sent before were basically novices. Although they learned quickly, they were not of use in a short period of time. Moreover, I still need Allocating extra skilled workers to train them actually delays work efficiency.”
Need skilled workers directly
Regarding this request, Yalin could only express "hehe", sorry~ the newcomers can have as much as they want. There is a shortage of skilled workers everywhere in the city of Ulduar, not to mention workers in the forging field. To operate those machine tools, it cannot be done by a group of completely illiterate slaves, even if there is a certain amount of people selected from the slaves. Forging basic free citizens, sending them to work in the blacksmith's hall, which is considered a military powerhouse, still needs to be considered.
"Hey~ I understand, then please try to send some dwarf workers. If possible, please try to send mountain dwarves." Elmina sighed.
Yalin heard some strange information from Elmina's words. Why specifically mountain dwarves? Although both sides look similar on the surface, the mountain dwarves were both born in the system, while the thunderstone dwarves were previously taken in from the runaways. The two sides are almost equal in forging technology. The only difference is that the mountain dwarves are absolutely loyal to Yalin, while the thunderstone dwarves are only left semi-voluntarily due to special circumstances.
Elmina quickly explained the reason for Yalin. Generally speaking, after the use of machine tools began to be popularized, some Thunderstone dwarves, led by their leader Dink Tier, tasted the benefits of using machine tools, while other Thunderstone dwarves thought that machine tools were so useful. Planting things will destroy your own forging memory. In their view, making a weapon means hammering it into shape bit by bit with your own hands from beginning to end. Only slowly sharpening and sharpening the weapon is the orthodox forging process, and using a machine tool to polish and shape it is Opportunistic behavior will corrupt tradition and one's own skills.
"A group of old stubborns who have not yet been enlightened. In any era and any race, there will be stumbling blocks that slow down the development of civilization of their own race."
"I agree with Mr. Yalin. He is unwilling to pursue new technologies. He just blindly uses tradition to cover up his incompetence. If possible, I really want to hang them all on hooks and sink them into the boiler bit by bit."
Elmina also looked dissatisfied with these few Thunderstone dwarves who were not enterprising. On the contrary, those mountain dwarves who were the same race but came from different regions were much better and never complained. They are also very obedient to orders and are quick to accept new things. They can almost be described as perfect subordinates.
Yalin smiled when he heard Elmina's comment. The Thunderstone Dwarf himself couldn't send more people even if he wanted to.
As he slowly chatted with Elmina, Yalin discovered that the other party was not only very talented in handling military affairs, but also knew how to mobilize troops to fight, and also had a good eye for political opinions. Judging from Elmina's age, this is indeed a talent worth admiring.
"I'm talking about Elmina! If there is a weapon that can destroy a city in an instant, then how should you use such a weapon in a disadvantageous situation?"
"This┉┉"
Regarding the unimaginable weapons proposed by Yalin, Elmina pondered for a while before replying: "I'm sorry, Sir Yalin, I can't give an accurate answer to this question. I can only give some reference suggestions."
"It doesn't matter, just use your imagination."
"If there really is such a weapon that can destroy everything in an instant, if one's own side is strong, one can immediately use its power to dominate the world. But if one's own side is at a disadvantage and an extremely disadvantageous one, then this weapon can only be used without using it. Come with maximum power."
Yalin's expression remained unchanged: "It's an interesting idea, please continue!"
Elmina shook her hands as if to straighten out her thoughts: "Putting myself in my shoes, when I discovered that the originally weak enemy had mastered an incredibly powerful weapon, and also used a large number of weapons into the battle, causing me huge losses, Then there are only two possibilities: to be forced to surrender or to use all our military strength to destroy the enemy at all costs before he uses this weapon to destroy himself."
"Then it's not necessary?"
"┉Originally, the weak party has mastered some kind of powerful weapon, which is a great threat to the surrounding strong neighbors. If it is used in large quantities rashly and destroys the balance, and even forces the strong neighbors to the point where they have to burn their boats, then unless this Weapons can really sweep everything. Otherwise, in front of a powerful enemy dominated by fear, whether a weak force can support it to destroy the enemy first with this weapon, or whether the city can be breached before the enemy is destroyed, is really a must. This is an issue that needs to be discussed carefully. On the contrary, if the weapon is not used as a symbol of deterrence, then even if the enemy wants to take action, he must first consider whether he can bear the huge loss in the face of this weapon, as long as he does not finally break his face and completely sever everything. If there is a way out, then we can use this weapon to establish a very fragile peace."
Yalin nodded listening to Elmina's analysis: "In other words, in the end, one's own strength is the most important┉┉"
"Unless that powerful weapon can really ignore everything┉┉" Elmina couldn't help showing a puzzled look at this point: "I told you, Mr. Yalin, you don't really have such a weapon."
Regarding this question, Yalin smiled and said nothing. (~^~)
