People living in Cecil often warn newcomers to this land in this way: This territory was established by ancient heroes, so there are many strange and even unimaginable things in this territory. When challenging things in the Three Views, it’s best not to make a fuss, because those things are basically harmless to humans and animals. If you really can’t understand them, just treat them as ancient magic techniques and ancient relics.
The citizens of Cecil are used to seeing the rumbling machines turning in the factory, they are used to seeing a shiny silver-white metal ball floating around in the territory, and recently, they are going to start Learn to get used to a new sight: to get used to seeing a strange woman with a human upper body and a snake lower body walking up and down the streets, or strictly speaking, "arching around"...
In the fourth week after winter, the weather was fine, with no wind and few clouds. Gao Wen was going to inspect the production line of the newly completed "Rune Substrate Foundry". The Siren Tyr who appeared outdoors.
This sea monster seems to have finally temporarily adjusted her routine as if she was going to sleep. Since the last time the day of the stars passed, she has entered a strange "excited state", in short, she can't sleep , could not lie down stably, stayed uncomfortable and wanted to make trouble, so she had to climb out of her beloved salt water tank and started wandering around Cecil's territory. Gawain had no reason to put her under house arrest in the lord's mansion, but In order to prevent this strange guy from causing any trouble in the territory, he thought of a compromise method, which was to let Tire move around him.
As it turned out, the siren lady had no problem with that: she was content just to be able to roam around.
Walking on the road leading to the factory area, Gawain couldn't help turning his head and glanced curiously at Tyre, who was leaning forward beside him: "Speaking of which, what's going on with you? Why are you suddenly willing to come out for activities?" ?”
"No way, who made the stars return to their positions a while ago," Tire was obviously also very depressed. Her heart obviously still hoped to go back and find a saltwater pool to sleep in one breath until she died, but her current state is completely silent. If it doesn't come down, "The magic power surges, and the elements will also become active. Our sea monsters are elemental creatures."
Gawain raised his eyebrows in a little surprise: "Are you... elemental creatures?"
"What? Isn't it?" Tyre put his hands on his hips and patted the ground with the tip of his tail to strengthen his persuasion, "We are elemental creatures!"
"The elemental creatures in my impression look different from yours..." Gawain explained dumbfoundingly, "The elemental creatures in my impression are chaotic, unstable in shape, and rely on spells or magic cores to maintain Only the guy who can exist in the real world for a long time, otherwise he can only use the element medium as 'fuel' to appear in the world for a short time... "
Tire looked disdainful: "They are all low-level goods, but our sea monsters are elemental creatures that can exist stably in the real world, and they are high-level."
Gao Wen had no time to argue with this sea monster. Anyway, these deep sea harmony gods even dared to eat seafood like ancient gods. What else is there to surprise them? He was just curious about how long Till's willingness to come out and move around could last: "By the way, how long can you last in this... active state?"
Tyre thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "It's hard to say, about a month?"
When Gawain heard this, he couldn't help frowning and looked at the long tail behind Tyre: "Then if you really plan to be active for a month, you'd better get used to walking upright. , it's too eye-catching for you to dangle around the territory with your tail all day long... "
While talking, he glanced around a little bit, and as expected, he found some curious and cautious eyes. Those eyes were naturally from the civilians and soldiers on the territory. If they were in other places, a sea monster might have attracted them It's directly hostile and panic, but here, due to Gawain's protection and the "increased public immunity" caused by strange and weird things in the territory itself, people are more curious about Tyr's wonderful form. Just be cautious. Of course, there were probably people who secretly panicked, but Gao Wen was standing here, who would dare to speak out
Tire, however, didn't take Gawain's warning very seriously, she swayed like a seaweed: "Anyway, I didn't cause panic when I came out like this, didn't I? And I see that the people under you are quite receptive, I dangled in front of their eyes twice more, and they got used to having a big metal ball flying around in the territory, aren't they all used to it too?"
Gao Wen really can't refute this: In terms of the degree of curiosity of the image alone, Nicholas Dan, who is naked and has no personal appearance, is obviously more incredible than Tyre, at least Miss Kraken still has half of her body as a human Well, Mr. Dan even painted Rebecca's face on it with paint... In such a comparison, it's really not a big deal for Tyre to sway around.
"You have to thank Mr. Dan for laying the foundation for you. He has directly increased the ability of everyone in the entire territory to accept strange things countless times," Gao Wen said dumbfounded, "Well, since you are willing to do this, then I will It's too much interference, but I still hope you can pay attention to the fact that human beings' ability to accept new things is limited. It is difficult for them to adapt to a "foreign visitor" who walks with a snake tail or a fish tail. The eighth thing you mentioned to me last time Try not to use claw fish form and sea crab form... "
Till pouted regretfully: she was thinking about whether the octopus form would be more stable on land, but she was killed before she could implement it, which made Miss Siren very dissatisfied.
However, she soon forgot about this little discomfort, because she finally saw what the "factory using machines to produce things" that everyone in the territory was talking about and everyone was proud of looked like.
The Cecil Rune Foundry, a new factory that was "released" from the Machinery Manufacturing Institute not long ago, is a part of Gawain's "industrial systemization" plan.
According to Gao Wen's plan, the Machinery Manufacturing Institute should not be a pure production department, but an "upstream" unit that integrates research and development, testing, and manufacturing of initial prototypes. Its role is to produce the first machine , rather than continuous and repetitive mass production.
In the Machinery Manufacturing Institute, a new industrial chain or link will go through the process from zero to some, craftsmen, apprentices and eggs will always complete the construction of the prototype and the trial production work based on this prototype, and once the chain or link matures It can become a part of the industrial system, it should be independent from the machinery manufacturing plant in an appropriate way, become a separate factory or a production line in a certain factory, and embark on the road of independent development and industrialization.
This is what Gawain came up with, a method to construct the magic industry system he was thinking of as soon as possible. Maybe it is not the best, but it is the most suitable choice for the current territory.
Only by shaping every link in the industrial chain, allowing them to operate in their respective positions, and thoroughly establishing the system of division of labor and assembly line production, can the territory get rid of the traditional workshop-artisan production mode. And get rid of the inefficient and wasteful hodgepodge of production.
In the rune foundry, Tire looked at the neatly arranged machines with amazed eyes, watching the hexagonal general-purpose substrates being sent to the imprinting machine one by one, and with a loud noise, the heavy steel hammer was Driven by the heavy wheel, it hits the surface of the substrate, and the complex rune dents are directly printed on the softer substrate material, and then these substrates are immersed in a mixed solution of quartz sand and thermal resin to complete the magic guide material for the rune grooves. Filling, and the excess solution on the surface of the substrate will be scraped off and recycled in the next step. After the magic guide material in the groove is solidified, the substrate will be machine-polished to ensure that no guide material that will affect the effect of the spell remains outside the rune groove. If it is a relatively simple rune substrate, then This step of processing is complete, and if it is more complicated, then some manual processes are required, such as inlaying crystals in the reserved grooves.
This was completely different from the way Tire had heard about land people manufacturing items, but it reminded her of the restored processing factories in Antavien.
While Tire was curiously looking at the production scene of the Rune Foundry, Gawain was also carefully looking at the reaction of the sea monster.
There was a curious expression on the other party's face, which made Gao Wen feel a little more at ease, and things were moving in the direction he hoped.
He didn't mind letting Tire see the so-called "technical secrets" in his territory at all. In fact, if this usually lazy sea monster wanted to, he would have no objection even if she wanted to see the original design of the magic net.
Because this sea monster came from a society that was obviously much more advanced than human civilization, and the place where she lived was even more developed than the silver empire of elves.
He wasn't worried at all that Tyr would steal any technology or that if she was really interested in a certain technology of Cecil, Gawain would be even happier.
Only by arousing the curiosity and attention of this siren, can he start a conversation with the other party in the technical field. Although I really don't want to admit it, human civilization is obviously a "low-level civilization" in Tyre's eyes. Even though Miss Kraken didn't mean to discriminate or contempt at all, the gap in technology level between the two is a given. In fact, this needs no verbal embellishment.
Under such circumstances, Gao Wen needs to make some attempts to see if the "magic industry" that Cecil is developing can arouse Tire's interest. If the other party is interested, then the topic of technology will be easy to start up.
When the timing was about right, he came to Tire's side: "How do you feel?"
"Very..." Till opened her mouth. She wanted to use "advanced" as a compliment, but she soon realized that Gao Wen probably didn't need such a compliment, and the situation of the factory is really not enough to use "" "Advanced" to describe it, so I changed it to "very interesting production method. So you humans have already started to use this method to mass-produce magic items? I thought you were still in workshops and magic laboratories Make magic items here... that's what we said after our last 'Traveling Sisters' came back."
"In fact... other places on this continent are still like that," Gawain shook his head with a wry smile. "This should be the only place in front of you that can use machines to mass-produce magic circles."
