Act VIII

Hearing Taylor's words, there was some silence in the venue for a while. [with _ dream]ā

It wasn't that the master craftsmen were shocked, but that they couldn't understand what Taylor was saying.

Whether it is an automatic machine tool or a magic program, it is a very unfamiliar word to these master craftsmen, and it belongs to the words that are known to each word separately, but the meaning is unknown when connected.

So they kept silent and didn't argue.

After all, there have been cases of people who questioned others when they read it, but in the end they were slapped in the face by reality, so most people still have a curious attitude before listening to the report.

Taylor then proceeded to read out the report he had written with Swift, detailing the machine tool as a machine capable of machining almost all types of parts in a large number of quantities in a short period of time, and in the case of the magic program, the report only described its role in the automatic machine tool and did not elaborate on the details of its principles and composition.

During the reading of the report, the venue was very quiet, and the needles could be heard, and both the master craftsmen of the El tribe and those merchants looking for business opportunities were shocked by the contents.

Being able to machine almost all types of parts in a short period of time with high volume and precision is something they never imagined.

You know, precision and efficiency are always difficult to balance in industrial production, and people certainly need higher precision parts, but such parts at least have to be made by skilled craftsmen with a lot of time by hand, and the price is high, and not everyone can afford it.

In order to reduce costs, merchants can only use slightly inferior parts, which leads to such and such problems in the process of use, which makes them headaches.

"Wait a minute, Master Taylor, what you're saying has already been realized, or is this just your idea?"

One of the master craftsmen asked, thinking he must have misheard, perhaps a new task for Taylor rather than a finished product.

"These have already been achieved. ”

Taylor replied, flat and straightforward, but it caused a wave in the room.

"How is this possible, how did he do it?"

"How to ensure the uniformity of accuracy, even if it is a master craftsman, it needs to be finally inspected and corrected to achieve, and it is too suspicious to hand it over to machinery. ”

"Where do I seem to have heard of that magic program?",

"It's too expensive to use magic for industrial production, you know, those mages are snobs, and the prices are all over the place. ”

"If it can really be realized, doesn't it mean that as long as any ordinary person who has not been trained can make a precision machine, then how can the authority of the master craftsman be guaranteed?"

"Where did Taylor and Swift learn these things? I think they weren't very good at magic. ”

"How much does such a machine cost?"

"I don't know if it's a prototype of the only one, or a machine that can be mass-produced?"

Speculation, questioning, and more surprise, but in the end, everyone's goal is to point to one, and that is the real thing.

Theoretically, in this meeting, only the report will be explained, and the actual demonstration will not be demonstrated, otherwise the time of the meeting will be extended indefinitely, and most people will just find the topic of interest after the meeting and go to the other party's workshop to check it in detail.

However, in a few cases, such as Taylor's now, a subject that has caused a great deal of controversy, the rotating president of the Artisan League can ask him to demonstrate live to verify the authenticity.

"Master Taylor, did you bring that machine with you?"

The rotating chairman, Tagio, said that he was an old man with white hair, a pair of glasses, and a very senior figure even among the master craftsmen.

"I brought it. ”

Taylor replied, causing the others to talk.

It seems that Taylor is indeed full of confidence with him, which makes everyone's expectations stronger and stronger.

"So could you please show us this, uh, automatic machine, and let's see if it's as amazing as you say?"

Tagio asked, and he himself was quite curious to use this authority of the rotating chairman.

"Of course. ”

Taylor said, making his way to the middle of the chamber and pulling a large iron box out of the storage ring.

The upper part of the iron box is made of transparent glass on all sides, and the complex mechanism inside can be seen, one of which has a black panel, and on the whole, there is nothing unexpected about this machine except for its strange appearance.

"This is an automatic machine?"

Heidegger asked, frowning slightly.

He knew that some master craftsmen were indeed engaged in the development of similar machines, trying to replace manual work with machines, but their machines were very rudimentary, and most of them were only in the design stage, and the one Taylor showed seemed to be unremarkable except for the appearance of a more design-oriented design.

"Yes. ”

Taylor didn't explain much and began to give a demonstration.

He placed an iron rod in it and fixed it, then clicked on the black panel, and the glowing operation interface appeared, causing several master craftsmen who could see it clearly to let out a slight exclamation.

Because this interface is obviously made of magic, they don't feel the magic fluctuations from Taylor at all, which means that this interface is not built by Taylor himself, but automatically generated by this machine.

This is already a very high-level magic channel, which is difficult for ordinary people to access, and even master craftsmen may not be able to buy this level of magic guide from a mage.

Some people have already decided that the cost of Taylor's machine is bound to be very high, and it is afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses when used to produce ordinary parts.

Press the start button, the automatic machine tool will start to run, under the gaze of everyone, the iron rod is driven by the machine to rotate at high speed, at the same time, the sharp cutter begins to cut, for a time the iron filings are flying, it is very spectacular.

Taylor stood aside, not operating the machine, and the automatic machine deftly turned the blade as if it had a will of its own, and in just a few minutes, it cut the original rustic iron rod into a round-tipped bolt.

Waiting for the machine to stop automatically, Taylor opened the lid, took out the bolt from the inside, swept the iron filings from it with a small brush, and then put it on the table in front of the chairmen, took out another drawing, and spread it out.

"Masters, you can check this part to see if the accuracy is up to standard. ”
