Chapter 696: R&D Center
In the first month of the new moon (January) of the year of the Aramaic calendar (DCCXXXII) (732), the archmage Gabrash Tripwood tried to light the divine fire and shape the throne, but failed.
In the same year, the artifact basalt silk robe was born.
The birth of this robe can be described as earth-shattering. But when I actually saw it, I didn't recognize it.
Ordinary magic equipment is arrogant and exudes a unique sense of power and oppression, wishing that others could feel it from afar, or kneel down in front of this sense of oppression.
Perhaps it is because of someone's obscene character, the basalt silk robe is quite restrained, so restrained that people can't feel its existence.
The math class on the day of the incident was taught by the Lich. Originally, everyone in the class was mentally prepared, and perhaps the teacher would skip a few more classes to make them experience the beating of the lich again. But on the second day of class, Lin quietly used the flashing technique to stand on the podium.
Since people are here, although their appearance has changed considerably, but mathematical knowledge can't deceive people, so let's listen to the lecture with peace of mind. It wasn't until the end of the day's lesson, when the lecturer had left, that the magicians noticed something was wrong.
First of all, when did people leave? Again, what is the robes that he wears?
The previous magician's outfit was no different from tatters in the eyes of a veteran magician. However, this time, the pitch-black robe also did not feel any power, but it was the strange feeling that would suck everyone's perception into it.
Compared to the sense of oppression is a flamboyant and outgoing magic equipment, the kind on someone is a more rare work. Of course, it is also possible that everyone misjudged. So on the third day of math class, someone close to me asked to take a closer look at the robe.
It was a magical piece of equipment that might not be noticeable from a distance, but after touching it with a hand, no one would question it. But the most shocking thing is that it is a magical equipment made of silk!
Silk is one of the finest fabrics in Miji. However, to the dissatisfaction of the magicians, silk could not be made into magical equipment, and became their self-defense and daily wear. But the magician in front of him seemed to have broken this restriction and made a set of magical equipment made of silk.
Of course, this aroused everyone's curiosity and inquiry, but Lin just smiled and said nothing.
He has no intention of announcing this technology. Other technologies, forced or voluntarily revealed, are more or less epoch-making knowledge that can change the course of the world, but the magic version of silk is just a simple luxury. Even if it is made public, only a small number of people will benefit; Most people live their lives the way they live, with or without silk.
Strictly speaking, coffee can also be considered such an item. However, at that time, I did not have the strength to protect this knowledge, and I wanted to use the power of others to promote the culture of coffee drinking. So that no matter where you go, you will have the opportunity to drink coffee grown and brewed by others. And judging from the later performance, although it is not as widespread as the earth, this purpose can be regarded as a success.
However, the magic version of silk does not have such a need. Lin doesn't need to rely on promoting the production process of the magic version of silk to make himself wear good clothes all the time, as long as he makes the amount he needs. Clothes are not consumables like coffee, and they have to be replenished from time to time.
Even if others guess the way of silk production from their own actions of breeding magic moths, they will have to study the whole production process to improve it, let alone catch up with their current progress. A large part of the success of this silk robe is due to the experience of the earth.
As for the magicians in the lost land, is there a way to find a different way to find a different silk path, and someone doesn't care so much. Since the advent of silk in the Lost Land, there has been no less effort by magicians or non-magicians in this regard, and no one has succeeded. If you want to find a breakthrough path from yourself, it is impossible without a huge price.
However, the popularity of this robe only lasted for a short time. Magicians are pragmatic after all, and not everyone will pursue luxury.
What's more, if there were any good things in history, and everyone had to ask about the production method, then no one would have invented or created it a long time ago. Of course, the more reason not to do this is that those creations that can leave a name in history and are unique are irreproducible. It could be an extremely rare material, or it could be an unnoticed coincidence in the production process.
Since it cannot be copied, and it is impossible to snatch it from a magician who is 'the best' at escaping, then the useless mind will gradually make everyone forget such a thing. Anyway, there are a lot of good things in the fandom, and when you see the best, you want to grab the collection, and to be honest, a few lives are not enough to die, because the ruthless people in the maze are even more sea.
However, this matter will still be recorded by the magicians who are paying attention to Lin. Whether it is to deal with a magician or to give a magician's evaluation, the magic equipment he has is also a very important reference index. The more exposed, the more likely it is that a weakness will be found in it and then mastered or killed the man.
But what really caught everyone's attention, moving from that black robe to other places, was a big event that could be regarded as a sensation in the holy city of Estali. Grand Duke Kawi of the Gwana Empire, in conjunction with the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, set up an automobile manufacturing and R&D center on the periphery of the VI district of the Holy City, and openly recruited all magicians or craftsmen with skills and skills in the Holy City.
The two powers themselves had their own staff, and they all came to the Holy City with funds and deacons in charge. Of course, the people from the two major forces will not be crooked, but they themselves also have secret projects going on, and they will not send the top personnel of their respective forces. Instead, they put the idle people, and the people whose affairs at hand were not so important, to this project that the two masters attached great importance to.
It's a pity that this group of people originally thought that they were Xiashan Tigers, and the only people to pay attention to were the people sent by the other forces. But on the first day they arrived, they were taught to be human.
Magical materials are used to make items, and the three major artifacts are: hammers, rulers, and shaping. With these three treasures, there is no disadvantage.
However, the automobile manufacturing and R&D center established by Lin and the other two major forces is aimed at ordinary materials, and although the magic shaping technique can be effective, after losing the power supply, it is better to restore the original state, and the worse is to disintegrate directly. Therefore, those magical methods are useless, and they can only find methods from the most basic casting process.
A certain person who took the lead didn't plan to put too much effort into this research and development center, including the four silverbearded dwarves. However, the basic plan still has to be given to avoid the people who are lost in the land from going astray.
Whether or not they really went their own way, that would be a waste of someone's experience on Earth. In the face of a distorted wind in which all prior knowledge no longer applies, it will take more effort for someone to once again lead the development of this center. In order to break back the crooked part, of course, it will inevitably cause some losses, and it will also waste time, so it is not cost-effective.
And to limit the upcoming direction of the development of advanced talents, someone's approach is to directly help them build machine tools. Just like the development of the earth's manufacturing industry, in addition to the progress of manufacturing technology, it is also limited by the extent to which machine tools can do.
Most of the technology accumulation is around the existing machine tools, slowly improving, slowly progressing, and rarely leapfrogging development. In other words, as long as Lin provides easy-to-use tools and machines first, the next development direction will not be too crooked.
Stamping machines, lathes, and drilling machines are the three major machine tools that Lin chooses. This, combined with the traditional tools that the Lost Land already has, should be able to do what most of Earth's early twentieth century industries could do.
Especially the part of the three major machine tools, thanks to the P language program has a considerable degree of maturity, so Lin is directly on the CNC version of the machine tool, rather than the traditional machine tool that requires the master's hand very much. The advantage of this is that by designing the process and entering the correct parameters, the requirement of 'mass copying' can be easily achieved, rather than burning incense to ensure that the scrap rate will automatically decrease.
And in order to control these CNC versions of machine tools, Lin even sorted himself out, and handed over the industrial drawing software that he didn't know how different it was from the earth version. Even if I've used software like AutoCAD myself, it's not clear to anyone how that thing relates to manufacturing horizontal links. The fan version is just something made according to one's own imagination and needs.
Even in the technical guild organized by Uzov Gantiya, the craftsmen in it were at best given a final design explosion to verify that the parts they had made did not conform to the original design. But what Lin is going to hand over to the automobile manufacturing and R&D center is software that includes drawing, calculation and presentation.
Those 'masters' who came from the two major forces are the operation of machine tools. As long as the three functions of stamping, cutting, and drilling are explained, no one can not understand. But when it comes to program control and industrial design, it's like giving an iPhone to a cave man on the top of a mountain and telling them how to use the APP.
The people who were sent by Grand Duke Kavi and Nguyen Van Viet of the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce were certainly not incapable people, and they were also loyal to their respective forces. But if they can flexibly use the latest programming technology, drawing software related to programming languages and mathematics, a group of magicians who know simple algebraic operations and are complacent are dumbfounded.
In any case, someone is also one of the three bosses of the R&D center, and it is impossible to scold his subordinates when they meet, and directly say 'you are all garbage' and spray a large group of people with bean curd. But it is impossible to open another machine tool teaching class, and teach people who have no foundation to the extent that they can operate machines and improve procedures, so they can only find a way.
