The people who live in Cecil often tell the newcomers to this land that this territory was established by ancient heroes, so there are many things in the territory that seem strange and even unbelievable in this era, and when faced with those things that challenge the three views, it is best not to make a fuss, because those things are basically harmless to humans and animals, if you really can't understand it, treat it as ancient magic technology and ancient relics.

The people of Cecil had become accustomed to seeing rumbling machines spinning around the factory, accustomed to seeing a shiny silver-white metal ball floating around the territory, and more recently they had begun to learn to get used to a new sight of a strange woman with the upper body like a man and the lower half like a snake walking up and down the streets, or strictly speaking, "arching back and forth......

In the fourth week after the beginning of winter, the weather was clear, windless, and cloudless, and Gawain was on his way to inspect the production line of the newly completed "Rune Substrate Foundry", while he was followed by Tyr, a kraken, who would have been almost impossible to appear outdoors under normal circumstances.

The Kraken seems to have finally temporarily adjusted her routine as if she was going to sleep to death, since the last day of the stars, she has entered a strange "state of euphoria", in short, she can't sleep, she can't lie down, and she wants to make trouble, so she has to climb out of her beloved saltwater tank and start wandering around Cecil's territory, Gawain has no reason to put her under house arrest in the lord's mansion, but in order to prevent this wonderful guy from making any trouble in the territory, he thought of a compromise, That was to let Tyr move around him.

Now, it seems, the Siren lady didn't have any resentment about this, she was content as long as she could hang around.

Walking on the road leading to the factory area, Gawain couldn't help but look back curiously at Tyr, who was arching forward beside him, "By the way, what the hell is going on with you?" Why are you suddenly willing to come out and move? ”

"That's right, who let the stars return to their positions a while ago," Tyr was obviously depressed, her heart was obviously still hoping to go back to a saltwater pool and sleep until she died, but her current state was completely still, "When the magic surges, the elements will become active with it - we Kraken are elemental creatures." ”

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, "You guys...... Elemental creatures? ”

"What? Isn't it like? Tyr clasped his hands on his hips and slapped the ground with the tip of his tail to reinforce his convincingness, "We are elemental creatures!" ”

"The elemental creatures in my impression don't look the same as you...... Gawain explained with a smile, "The elemental creatures in my impression are the kind of chaotic, unstable bodies, and need to rely on spells or magic cores to maintain themselves in the real world for a long time, otherwise they can only use the elemental medium as 'fuel' to appear in ......the world for a short time."

Tyr looked disdainful, "That's all low-level goods, but our Kraken is an elemental creature that can exist stably in the real world, and it's advanced." ”

Gawain has no time to argue with this kraken, anyway, these deep sea gods even dare to eat the ancient gods as seafood, what else is there to surprise them? He was just curious about how long Tyr's state of willingness to come out and move could last, "Anyway, you're ...... How long does it last? ”

Tyr thought for a moment, and said uncertainly, "It's hard to say, about a month?" ”

When Gawain heard this, he couldn't help frowning and fell his gaze on the long tail that Tir was dragging behind him, "Then if you really plan to be active for a month, it's best to get used to walking upright, you're dragging your tail around in the territory all day long, it's too dazzling......"

As he spoke, he glanced around slightly, and sure enough, he found some curious and cautious eyes, which were naturally from civilians and soldiers in the territory - if it were somewhere else, a kraken would have caused hostility and panic, but here, due to Gawain's protection and the "increased immunity of the masses" caused by the strange things that often appeared in the territory itself, people were more curious and cautious about Tyr's wonderful form. Of course, there are probably people who are secretly panicking, but Gawain is standing here, who would dare to say it?

Tyr was very unimpressed by Gawain's admonition, and she swayed in place like a seaweed, "Anyway, I didn't cause panic when I came out like this, did I?" And I see that your men are quite receptive, and when I shake them in front of them twice, they get used to it—aren't they all used to having a big metal ball flying around in the territory? ”

Gawain really can't refute the degree of curiosity of the image alone, Nicholas Egg, who is naked and doesn't even have a personal appearance, is obviously more unbelievable than Till, at least the Siren sister is still half a human, but Egg always has even a face painted by Rebecca with paint...... In this comparison, Tyre is really not a big deal when he is swaying around.

"You have to thank Mr. Dan for helping you lay the foundation, he directly improved the ability of everyone in the entire territory to accept strange things countless times," Gawain said with a smile, "Okay, since you are happy to do this, then I won't interfere too much, but I still hope you can pay attention to it - the ability of humans to accept new things is limited, and they have finally adapted to a 'foreign visitor' who walks with a snake's tail or a fish's tail, and the octopus form and sea crab form you mentioned to me last time should try not to use it......"

Tyr pouted regretfully, she had been wondering if the octopus form would be more stable on land, but she was killed before she could do it, much to the displeasure of Miss Siren.

But she soon forgot about this little unpleasantness, for she finally saw what the "factory that produces things by machines" that everyone in the territory was talking about and everyone was proud of.

Cecil Rune Foundry, a new factory that was recently "released" from the machine building, is part of Gawain's plan to "systematize industry".

According to Gawain's plan, the machine building should not be a pure production department, but an "upstream" unit that integrates R&D, testing, and the manufacture of initial prototypes, and its role is to produce the first machine, rather than to carry out continuous and repeated mass production.

In the machine building institute, a new industrial chain or link will go through the process of starting from scratch, craftsmen, apprentices and eggs will always complete the construction of the prototype and the trial production work based on this prototype, and once this chain or link is mature and can become a part of the industrial system, it should be independent from the machine building in an appropriate way, become a separate factory or become a production line in a factory, and embark on the road of independent development and industrial tracking.

This is the method that Gawain has come up with, and the method that can construct the magic industry system he conceived as soon as possible may not be the best, but it is the most suitable choice for the current territory.

Only by building each link in the industrial chain and letting them start operating 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-craftsman production model and free itself from the inefficient and wasteful hodgepodge of production.

In the rune foundry, Tyr looked at the neatly arranged machines with amazement, watching the hexagonal universal substrates being fed to the embossing machine, and with a loud bang, the heavy steel hammer hit the surface of the substrate driven by the heavy wheel, printing the complex rune dents directly on the softer substrate material, and then these substrates were immersed in a mixed solution of quartz sand and hot resin to complete the filling of the guide material for the rune grooves, and the excess solution on the surface of the substrate would be scraped off and recycled in the next step. After the channel material in the groove is solidified, the substrate is polished by the machine to ensure that there is no trace material left outside the rune groove that can affect the effect of the spell - if it is a simple rune substrate, the processing is completed at this step, and if it is more complex, then some manual work is required, such as setting crystals in the reserved grooves.

It was a far cry from what Tyr had heard of the way the land-dwellers made things, but it reminded her of the restorative processing plants in Antavian.

While Tyr was curiously surveying the production of the Rune Foundry, Gawain was also carefully watching the Kraken's reaction.

A curious expression appeared on the other party's face, which made Gawain's heart settle down a little—things were going in the direction he had hoped.

He didn't mind letting Tyr see the so-called "technical secrets" of his territory, and in fact he wouldn't have a problem with the usually lazy Kraken if she wanted to, even if she wanted to see the original blueprints of the net.

Because this Kraken 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 Elven Silver Empire.

He wasn't worried at all about what technology Tyr was stealing—or if she was really interested in one of Cecil's technologies, Gawain would be even happier.

Only by arousing the curiosity and attention of this kraken can he start a conversation with the other party in the field of technology. Although I don't want to admit it, human civilization is obviously a "low-level civilization" in Tyr's eyes, even if this Siren Miss herself does not have the slightest meaning of discrimination and contempt, but the difference in technical level between the two is an established fact in itself, which does not need to be modified with words.

In this case, Gawain needs to make some attempts to see if the "magic industry" that Cecil is developing can arouse Tyr's interest, and if the other party is interested, then the topic of technology can be easily developed.

When the time was almost right, he walked over to Tyr's side, "How do you feel?" ”

"Very ......" Tyre opened her mouth, she wanted to use "advanced" as a compliment, but she quickly realized that Gawain probably didn't need such a compliment, and the situation in this factory really didn't get to the point where it could be described as "advanced", so she changed the phrase, "It's an interesting way of producing." Have you humans started to mass-produce magical items in this way? I thought you were still making magic items in workshops and magic labs...... That's what our last 'Traveling Sister' said when he returned. ”

"In fact...... The rest of the continent is still like that," Gawain shook his head with a wry smile, "This should be the only place in front of you that will use machines to mass-produce magic arrays. ”
