"To produce enough fireball bombs for the army, we must recruit more young people with arcane talent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Jack said solemnly.

Roland smiled bitterly: "Your idea is very good, but it is not easy to achieve, only when we have the power in the Far East can we openly recruit talents, and in today's situation, if you are a talented and promising young man, you would choose to join the Koras Corps, which has just been converted from militia to regular?" ”

"Why not? That's how I joined the army in the first place! Jack's face was blank.

Roland patted his forehead, "Well, I have to admit that you are a special case and not representative of the majority. ”

"Why not? What's the difference between other young people with arcane talent and me, just because I'm from the pygmy family? Jack asked, puzzled.

"It's not about race, it's about faith - you're not a descendant of heretics under the Holy Assanian Empire, you're not the kind of child born in the Far East with 'original sin', so you won't understand the mentality of most Far Easterners." Roland sighed and continued to explain to him, "The Imperial Government and the Church of Pero have always discriminated against arcane spellcasters, and those with arcane talent will be persecuted by the church if they are not careful, and they will be burned at the stake, or exiled to this wild land, this is how Mr. Merlin was forced to live in exile in the Far East, and the apprentices with arcane talents he adopted also have similar backgrounds, and our legion was established by the will of the Archbishop of the Far East, and is a soldier under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Far East Military Region and loyal to the Church, Fighting heretics and cults is our mission - at least nominally. ”

Jack nodded in understanding, "The newspaper says that the Koras Army is Archbishop Philip's 'scepter to punish heretics' and 'the sword to defeat heretics', and we set out to conquer Kitland, also under the banner of conquering the cult warlord group 'Dragon's Eye'. ”

"So, even though my father and I are the biggest heretics in this country, we don't dare to throw away the banner of 'Sword of Perot' in order to win the support of the Imperial Government and the Church. Roland spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"Actually, there is no need to worry about this, I'm from a dwarf town, Gal Shining is my patron saint, old Yuri is from Icewind Dale, a devout Moradin, we've never clashed over different beliefs, and I've never heard of anyone being discriminated against because of their beliefs," Jack said with deep feeling, "Although most of the members of the Kolath Legion are secret followers of Lady Fate, everyone is very tolerant of the faith, and I love the family-like atmosphere." ”

Roland shook his head and chuckled, "You also know that we are 'secret believers', how can we oppose the arbitrary position of the Pelo Church on the issue of faith with great fanfare, how can those who live in remote areas and do not know us know the truth." ”

Jack scratched the back of his head helplessly: "This is indeed a trouble, no wonder Master Merlin always says that it is not easy to recruit apprentices." ”

"So if you want to increase the number of people to increase the production of fireball bombs, it won't work right now, and we have to think differently." Roland crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.

Jack paced back and forth in the basement, touching his chin and muttering to himself, "Making a 'Fireball Bomb' can be divided into a total of thirty-one steps, but only a few steps require the use of arcane abilities, most of the assembly processes can be done by an ordinary skilled mechanic, and as for the minor processes such as casting bullet shells...... It can be handed over to the arsenal under the logistics department of the corps for OEM. ”

Jack's idea coincides with Roland's, and then he puts forward the idea of continuing to analyze in depth: "First of all, the production process is divided, and then a unified qualification standard is formulated for each process and parts, and the parts are handed over to the arsenal for batch processing, and you and the apprentice team are only responsible for the processes that need to be cast, and then the factory will assemble them uniformly, and finally accept the quality of the finished product according to the standard, which can not only greatly improve the production efficiency, but also avoid defective products as much as possible." ”

Jack nodded in agreement, "Hearing you say that, this matter doesn't seem to be that difficult. ”

"It's easy to make suggestions, but there are definitely a lot of unexpected troubles when you actually do it." Roland knew the character of this kid, and hurriedly took a "preventive shot" to prevent him from being fluttering.

"Rest assured, I will be cautious about this work, do you have any suggestions?" Jack seemed very humble.

Roland thought for a moment and said: "The name 'Fireball Bomb' is too long-winded, and it is more appropriate to change the name to 'grenade', and the establishment of a factory specializing in the production of grenades in the future must be authorized by you, and you will be given the corresponding patent licensing fee or shares." ”

Jack smiled nonchalantly: "'Grenade' sounds smooth, I have no opinion, as for what invention patent...... Haha, there's no need to complicate it too much, I'm happy to contribute this achievement to the Legion for free. ”

"I admire your generosity, but it is not something to be admired, we must establish a value standard that respects knowledge, and everyone has the right to be fairly paid for their pioneering work," Roland said. ”

Finding that Jack still didn't care much about it, Roland knew that the dry preaching was useless, so he compiled "Zigong Ransom Man" and "Zilu Shouniu" into stories that were more in line with the local customs of the Far East and told him. Although he has traveled to a world that is different from the earth, he firmly believes that the ancient fables are equally relevant here, and they also shine with indelible wisdom.

Jack was deeply inspired by what the legendary great sage Confucius had told his two disciples, and he was willing to accept his share of the entitlement, but after a brief calculation of the amount of grenades, he frowned again.

"Even if we only have one grenade, it will take 20,000 grenades, and with the current production efficiency, my assistants and I will only produce key parts, and we will have to work for a month without sleep, not to mention that we don't have enough spell slots."

"Is it okay to use scrolls instead of spells?" Roland asked.

"Yes, yes, but the cost of the reels is too high, and we can't afford to burn them." Talent and inspiration are not the most important thing for an inventor who is strapped for money, and any genius idea is a floating cloud without money, and Jack has a first-hand experience of this, so he is more concerned about the cost than Roland, and too high a cost means that it is not practical, let alone mass production.

Roland also knew that it was not easy for his father to raise this army of more than 20,000 people, and he had worked hard to raise military expenses.
