Chapter 155: Circle Template
The goblins have no concept of a calendar, and in order to make the time node more clear, the white wolf stipulates that this year is the first year of runes, and there are 12 months in a year, each month is of a different length, and the second month is a leap month, a leap year every four years.
When the white wolf was still on the surface, he once asked Alyssa about the human calendar, and found that their calendar was the same, 365 days a year, no different from the original world of the white wolf. This phenomenon cannot be explained by mere coincidence, it confirms from the side that there is an extremely close connection between these two worlds, the same is a sun and a moon, if the continent under the feet of the white wolf is a sphere, then the speed of its rotation and the speed of revolution around the sun should be no different from that world.
In addition to the five departments in the territory of the white wolf to maintain the operation of the country, there is also an important scientific and technological institution, its name is called the Rune Research Institute, the members of this research institute are only those few foxes, and the task of the research institute is to make rune equipment and study rune arrays.
Due to the effect of rune addiction, the foxes here have all become workaholics, as long as they are not allowed to touch the runes for a moment, they are as uncomfortable as dead, so the white wolf has no way to arrange other jobs for them, they can only place them in the mud and stones, they stay in it from morning to night, except for eating, drinking and Lazar, they are constantly carving, studying the rune circle.
The white wolf stayed here for a day, and calculated the output of the foxes' rune circles, if the supply of mud stones was sufficient, a fox could carve about fifty temperature control circles per day, and one temperature control circle could make a mushroom medium, and one mushroom medium could feed ten goblins.
Now there are 800,000 goblins that need food, which means that they need 80,000 mushroom mediums, and if four foxes make 200 mushroom mediums a day, it will take 400 days to make them all, and this is still not taking population growth into account.
In fact, once there is enough food, the goblins will start to reproduce rapidly, and the food supply will not increase at the rate of population increase, and in order to keep the goblins from starving, the white wolf will either give them family planning or make tools that can produce rune circles like an assembly line, as long as they can quickly create a large number of temperature control circles, then food will not be a problem.
As for how the machine for making rune arrays on the assembly line should be realized, the first thing that came to the white wolf's mind was engraving printing, he could carve out a set of molds through the method of yang engraving, and then evenly smear the ground mud stone on the carved plate, and finally imprint it on the stone, and the mud bottom stone was glued to the stone, which became a rune circle, so that it was completed.
It's just that if you want to make a rune circle through this method, you must carve out a very fine template, and the mud stone applied before printing can not be more or less, and it must be even, and it is best to find a flat and perpendicular surface to the ground when pressing, any of the above conditions are not met, it will lead to some form of deficiency in the pattern of the rune circle, so that it cannot run.
In fact, even if these conditions are met, the rune circle engraved through the mold still has many flaws, and the white wolf must make certain repairs to these circles in order to ensure that the final output of the circle is qualified.
However, even if it needs to be repaired, the speed of using these molds to make rune circles is much faster than not using them, and after making the mold, the white wolf used it to create 10 rune circles, and roughly calculated, this mold has increased the manufacturing efficiency of the circle by at least four times, and if you can skillfully use this tool, it is not impossible to increase it by five times.
That is to say, if the foxes can use such a mold, then they originally needed 400 days to be able to carve out the circle, now it only takes 80 to 100 days to carve out, this template rune printing technology is actually just a small invention in the final analysis, but it has greatly improved the production efficiency, which is the most intuitive embodiment of science and technology to change life.
Because the white wolf's claws are not easy to use, the work of the mold can only be done by the goblin, but the goblin is very impatient, and it is a torture to let them do this kind of carving work, not only for the goblin, but also for the white wolf who guides them.
White Wolf summoned one of the best goblin craftsmen from the industrial department, gave him a lump of malleable mud, first placed a large piece of mud in a steel cuboid container, kneaded and patted it into a whole, and completely filled the cuboid container.
Before starting to make, the white wolf will first use white ore powder to draw an accurate rune circle pattern on the mud, and then the goblin will start to carve, the white wolf gives the goblin craftsman a small spoon and a small carving knife, the goblin craftsman must first use a small carving knife, according to the pattern drawn by the white wolf, the rune circle of the accurate appearance carved, this step is the most laborious, the longest time-consuming, because the goblin craftsman is very careless, as long as the white wolf is a little careless, they are likely to draw the line long or short, in order to avoid this situation, the white wolf must often remind themใ
After the pattern is drawn, the next step is to dig up the mud, and the goblin craftsman has to dig down the part that does not belong to the rune circle along the cut traces, which is relatively simple, but the white wolf still has to supervise carefully, because the goblin craftsman is likely to dig the wrong place and dig the place that should not be dug, in that case, the entire template will be scrapped and must be remade.
After the mud is dug up, it enters the baking process, this part finally does not need a goblin craftsman, the white wolf can complete it himself, he first puts an ordinary uncarved clay tablet in the oven, and then enters the fire element into it to start baking, in this way, the white wolf measured an approximate baking temperature and time, so that the clay board will not crack, but can become extremely hard, and then you can put the dug clay tablet in it, and start the formal baking.
After the baking is completed, you only need to take out the board to dry for a while before you can use it, the white wolf spent a total of a week before and after making these four sets of molds, and the reason why it took so long is because the goblin craftsman is really unreliable, and that guy has scrapped more than 20 sets of templates before and after, so that the white wolf no longer wants to deal with the goblin craftsman.
