"Master Cheng, I probably understand what you mean. Perak first concluded, "When you say industrial manufacturing, you mean what kind of machine is used...... To make spirit armor in batches?"

"Well, yes, that's right. Cheng Li replied.

"I'd like to make sure to you first, do you mean a mechanical structure like a textile machine, which is composed of a bunch of unrefreshed components?"

Qingling Island, as a Xiuzhen civilization characterized by cultivation and arithmetic, the most complex structure of the machine on the island is probably the textile machine.

So Cheng Li nodded and said, "Although it's not appropriate, as far as you understand, it's indeed what you think." ”

"And this loom-like machine...... Can you really make a spirit armor?"

Not only the real people of Perak, but everyone else was also a little incredulous.

"Absolutely, a loom is a machine that can make cloth, and there are all kinds of machines in the world that can make all kinds of different things, and in essence they are the same kind of things.

"But according to the different uses of the machine, there are also complex and simple points, the loom is only the most primitive prototype of the machine, and the machine we want to get to make the spirit armor, but it is far behind, this gap ......

Cheng thought about it for a moment and used a metaphor that a cultivator could best understand to illustrate.

"This gap is like the gap between a cultivator in the Qi refining stage and a cultivator in the Transformation Stage. ”

"Isn't that the difference between cloud and mud?" everyone understood at once.

"That's right, there are classes to machines. ”

"Then this machine that can make spirit armor is not easy to get, right?" asked Thunderbolt Zhenren.

"Of course it's not easy to get it, especially now that our Qingling Island is completely blank in this regard. ”

"Then how do we build a machine that can make spirit armor first?"

"First of all, we need to have machines. Cheng Li replied.

"What is that?"

"Machine tools are machines used to make machines, and you can regard machine tools as the mother of industry, or even the foundation of all machines. ”

Everyone was shocked by the title of this series of machine tools given by Cheng Li.

Then the thunderbolt said cautiously: "The spirit armor can be made by machines, and machines can be made with machine tools...... What about this machine...... How do you make it?"

Although this question may seem a bit true, it is actually the most fundamental problem.

In modern industry, machine tools are the foundation of everything, and the level of machine tools can even be seen at the level of a country's industry.

In the initial stage of industrialization, where the machine tool comes from is the most critical question, which is a chicken-and-egg problem.

It took hundreds of years for the industry on earth to go through a series of technological innovations to improve the level of machine tool technology, from the use of manufacturing watches, to the point where various types of machine tools in the industrial age flourished.

Qingling Island does not have such an industrial base, how to make machine tools out of scratch, of course, the most critical, but also the most difficult problem.

However, Cheng Li is not too worried about this problem.

I saw him take out more than a dozen drawings that looked very detailed, all of which he took out from the Ten Thousand Worlds Library.

Otherwise, as a programmer, not a mechanical engineer, it would be impossible for him to design a complete machine tool.

But fortunately, the design drawings of the machine tool in the Wanjie Library are quite complete, and there are not many locked parts.

"These are all machine tool design drawings, I estimated according to the needs of manufacturing spirit armor, about a dozen different types of machine tools are needed.

"Among them, the main need is lathes, boring machines, milling machines, planers, grinding machines, drilling machines, forging machine tools, stamping machine tools, etc. ”

Cheng Li said while introducing the types and uses of these machine tools to the old man.

Thunderbolt real people are like treasures, holding these dozen drawings, their eyes feel like they are about to get into it, and they keep looking at it all the time.

"The foundation of industrialization is original, if you rely on your own exploration, it is naturally impossible to have a sound industrial foundation out of nothing.

"But if there is this set of ready-made direction guidance, then it is still possible for Qingling Island to establish the most basic industrial base in a short period of time......"

"The most important thing is that you are cultivators......

"You just asked how the machine tool is made, and I can answer you now. ”

"Naturally, it is for the refiners of your refining hall to refine it by hand!"

"Before, I also roughly studied the mechanical structure of the Lower Spirit Armor, including the metalworking process on it. I sometimes really imagine that this is completely hand-refined by you cultivators. ”

"Since your refining level is already capable of refining even a large mechanical body with a complex metal structure like Spirit Armor.

"So now as long as there are more than a dozen drawings of the Refining Hall, with the refining level of your refining hall, the corresponding machine tools can be refined by hand, I think it shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?"

After hearing Cheng Li say this, Thunderbolt Zhenren raised his head sharply and said word by word: "I can make a military order here, and with these drawings, I will definitely be able to refine these machine tools!" Although I still don't quite understand the actual use of these machine tools.

"But these machine tools are dead things, and they do not involve complex spiritual energy changes, compared to refining magic weapons, and even refining spiritual armor, this kind of spiritual objects that need to cooperate with spiritual energy changes. The dead thing of the machine tool, as long as it can be accurately restored in accordance with the requirements of the drawings, to put it bluntly, it is to draw the gourd according to the scoop, if this can't be done, we can collectively wipe the neck in the refining hall. ”

Hearing what the thunderbolt real person said, Cheng Li was noncommittal and said, "Well, then I'll wait for the good news of the thunderbolt real person." ”

"In addition, it should be noted that these drawings for you are the most basic machine tools.

"However, I have made a little change to these machine drawings to reserve the computer interface of Qingling Island. When the time comes, I can turn them into 'CNC machines' that can be controlled by software as long as they are plugged into calculators!

"In this way, we can greatly improve the degree of industrial automation and achieve the purpose of liberating manpower to the greatest extent. ”

Everyone at the bottom said that although they couldn't understand what Cheng was talking about, they always felt very powerful, so they promised one after another.

"In addition, as I just mentioned, there are two main lines of development in the first May plan of Qingling Island, one is scientific research and magic, and the other is large-scale industrial manufacturing. ”

"And this industrial manufacturing is not just about making spirit armor.

"The things that can be manufactured by industrialization are all-encompassing, and Lingjia is just one of them.

"Our other main thing we make is calculators!"
