Chapter 1209: Alert
Fourteen kilometers away, in the valley north of Hollier, a rectangular building stands out in the clearing.
This is clearly not a fortress prepared for war. If you look closely, you can see that its shape is square, like a regular box, covering an area of thousands of square meters.
This valley is the area where Kardashian and others previously tested the "guided missile", and not far away, you can still see many craters and debris caused by the explosion before the previous failed works took off, but now the ground is covered with snow.
A road leads from the outside world, but it is guarded by three layers of heavily armed guards. There are special units patrolling the perimeter of the factory.
In the small window, flashes of different colors streaked by, but none of the soldiers went in to see it, and they were still guarding outside, and none of them knew what was going on inside.
"Hum—"
Rows of hedron began to infuse energy at the same time, and the heavy, huge metal gears began to turn. Iskar, who was wearing a hard hat, stared intently at the hands in front of him, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Okay!
A peculiar compression sound is heard, and after the press is finished, the fully stamped steel shell is cooled and removed from the die by mechanical structure.
Kardashian stepped forward and pointed a pistol-like instrument in her hand at the perfect curved steel plate to test, and other people around her also surrounded - looking around, except for the "Glory Elder", the lowest remaining strength here are all high-level mages, and there are twelve dragons.
They held their breath, and when Kardashian exhaled and said "test passed", there was a cheer inside the "factory", followed by a large round of applause.
Because the "stamping machine" that they worked so hard to develop finally met the requirements and created a "missile shell" that meets the standards!
This invention can not only greatly shorten the production time of "guided missiles", but also push the level of "magic industry" forward by a large block, and many patented structural magic arrays used in it will greatly improve the efficiency of other industrial instruments in the world.
"Let's start trying the first assembly line operation! Expect 8 hours, see the speed of trial installation!"
"Good!"
Kardashian clapped her hands, and everyone immediately returned to their places and started to get busy. There are a total of twenty-seven mages and dragons in the factory, and they are all absolute high-end forces wherever they are placed, but at this time, they are all uniformly wearing "work clothes" and uniform "helmets", and they are quickly in place on their respective production lines, and according to the steps that have been rehearsed countless times, the first "assembly line assembly" has begun.
The previous metal missile shell required the red dragon and the black dragon to carefully control the steps from the beginning of smelting the material, but even if they had superb magical control, they couldn't achieve a high degree of consistency after all... After each material is formed, it often changes due to different stresses, which often leads to irregular deformation of the shell when it is slightly heated, and finally allows the missile to disintegrate in the air.
Now, by changing the material recipe and using a "high-tonnage press" for mold making, almost all problems have been solved. When the "material" and "shell process" no longer hindered the speed of mass production, the rest of the steps proceeded very quickly - the first missile on the production line was commissioned in only forty minutes, and after testing, it was confirmed that it was "qualified".
This means that in the days that followed, as long as the supply of raw materials was in place, they already had the ability to mass-produce "guided missiles" ...
The entire plant was in full swing for eight hours of trial assembly, and a full fifteen missiles were produced. This shows that after the run-in in all aspects, the production interval of each missile is constantly shortening.
Although two of all products are unqualified, compared with more than half of the previous "defective rate", this is actually a great improvement.
However, in the face of such gratifying results, Kardashian was not as anxious as she was to find Roddy to watch her work, but while planning to improve the process, she chatted with others about the current progress of the "Plane Circle Research Department".
"There's no news over there, so it's not going well, right?"
"According to the permission, we shouldn't be able to know it in the first place. They have the same level of secrecy as we do. ”
"But wasn't there any movement last week?"
"Who knows if it's the sound of the portal collapsing, just wait and see..."
"Okay, you can rest today, and continue to improve the process tomorrow, and then-"
In the middle of her sentence, Kardashian suddenly stopped, because when the factory's noisy machinery was turned off, the sound of noisy footsteps outside was especially noticeable.
"What's the situation?"
She was a little surprised, but the next moment she heard the sound of a warning from the siren circle outside—everyone's faces changed, because it meant that the guards outside thought that they might be "in danger".
But who can attack such a place?
Not only Kardashian, but others also find it difficult to imagine that anyone in the current kingdom would find this place so unsightly... You must know that the army outside the door is the elite of Luo Di's lineage, with strong spears and short cannons. There is not a single weak person here, even the "helper" who is an apprentice next to him is a high-level magician, not to mention the twelve dragons who can really be transformed.
Their team of less than thirty people is more than enough to defeat an ordinary army.
Therefore, after hearing the alarm, instead of hiding, they collectively wore work clothes and walked directly outside, and at this time, the army in charge of security work had already contracted their defenses and set up barricades on the road, but when everyone came out, they found that there was nothing in front of them...
"Where is the enemy?"
"I'm afraid - it's over there. ”
Sharp-eyed, Iskar raised his hand to the west, surrounded by mountains, but a faint cloud of smoke loomed under the blue sky.
This is the "Beacon" that is still used in the border areas of the kingdom.
In other words, the border with the Nehemian steppes is in danger.
"What do you mean?
"It seems that a group of orcs who besieged Elson City before retreated to the grassland, but the kingdom has placed a lot of sentinels in the grassland in the past two years, maybe this is because they have discovered that the other party has moved?"
After the initial astonishment, they quickly returned to their composure and crossed their shoulders to discuss in the cold wind. However, the soldiers around did not dare to slack off at all. The garrison numbered more than 800 troops, and there were two artillery carriages, all ready to meet the enemy at any time, even if the opponent was still hundreds of kilometers away.
The reconnaissance force has been dispatched, and the snow in the mountains is thick, and it is difficult for war horses to pass except for the road area, but such road conditions are difficult for the elite troops of the Karen Kingdom who have been prepared for a long time: two tracked armored vehicles quickly left the field of view with the communication circle and disappeared into the shadows of the forest.
At about the same time, an emergency meeting of the cabinet had been held in the magic tower, and the cabinet members who had hurried to the palace were all nervous - their first thought was not the orcs, but the demonic forces that had become more and more active recently...
