The dragon girl's footsteps gradually faded away from the stairs, and Mozuka Ertu walked to Siegel with a worried look, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay," the corners of Siegel's mouth twitched, "let's get to work." Janet...... It should be fine. ”

In the workshop built to imitate the Nakhos technology, the two of them have been working hard, and for months they have both succeeded and failed, and they are becoming less and less like the manufacturing factory of the Void Ship.

In the earliest days, there were always problems with the assembly line, and the furnace and forging mechanism could not be coordinated. Not to mention making magic weapons, it can't even make a normal iron rod.

There are too many things that Erdu doesn't understand, after all, when he was maintaining the workshop, he only saw the appearance and replaced the parts, and did not participate in the manufacturing process, so it is difficult to completely copy it. Siegel constantly reassures him: "We can't immediately reach the level of Nakus's manufacturing, what we have to learn is their idea of making things." Simplify everything that can be simplified, and start with what we will do!"

Erdu is responsible for finding a way to make ordinary materials reach a strength that can be enchanted, and so that they can reach the designated location of the enchantment machine smoothly. They abandoned the enchanted crossbow bolts and carved the magic circle directly out of a shaped steel plate, which was then twisted into an ammunition magazine, in order to greatly simplify the manufacturing process. Siegel focused all his attention on the enchanted magic line depiction, and then found ways to improve the quality and accuracy of the finished product.

Now that the pattern of the magic circle had been decided, Siegel first tried to make an enchanted ammo magazine by hand, which took him two full days of sleepless time. Although the first one was affected by rustiness and slowed down the speed, this time consumption is unacceptable.

"From among all the fighters, there are about a hundred qualified crossbow shooters in the entire Heim Territory. If you mobilize civilians, you can arm up to about three hundred. It would have taken me a whole year to make that. Siegel did the math. "There are at least three thousand of the elves' war trees, so only a mass-produced assembly line can turn the situation around. ”

For such an algorithm, Erdu is a little incomprehensible. "Why didn't Knox win together? We could also try to make a demon-breaking crossbow box, which might be easier. ”

"The elves must win. Siegel let out a long sigh and patted Erdu's head. "I can only tell you about this, don't tell anyone else. Although the members of Knox are all human. But they are more dangerous than elves. They can be used to weaken the elves' power, but they must not be given the key to victory. ”

"Shouldn't we make a demon-breaking crossbow box first?" Erdu became more and more confused, unable to keep up with Siegel's thoughts.

"Knox grew up by intrigue and indoctrination, parasitic on top of other organizations. Siegel said, "Organizations that rely on conspiracy will eventually kill each other." So, Knox will lose, and the elves will win. ”

"There's no such thing in the outer planes. Erdu blinked, obviously unconvinced, but no longer entangled: "I'll take it as your prophecy." ”

Siegel knew in his heart that his understanding of war was nothing more than imagination and wishful thinking. In fact, the only reason why he was reluctant to make a Demon Breaker Crossbow Arrow Box. It's just because he's a mage too.

Even a magical enchantment as powerful as the Iridescent Orb has a fatal weakness: it still relies on elemental energy. Siegel already had the idea of breaking the magic array in his mind: to convert all the surrounding elemental energy into plasma, and use the plasma to continuously accelerate the weapon itself, forming a powerful penetrating force. In this way, as long as there are enough weapons, the elemental base of magic protection can be destroyed, and the effect of demon destruction can be achieved.

If such a weapon exists, then the mage will be greatly constrained. Although mages have the means to penetrate the heavens and the earth, flesh and blood need to rest after all, and it is impossible to always be mentally vigilant. If the demon-breaking bolt he envisioned worked. Then the Assassins can really pose a deadly threat to the mage.

So Siegel didn't even try to make even a single Demon Breaker.

In his hand was the sixty-seventh piece of pure gold carving he had made, which he used to smash the patterns of the magic array on the steel plate. The first sixty-six times did not have the desired effect. The accuracy of the magic circle is not enough, which affects the work of adding gem powder to make spell nodes later.

Working with Adamantite items is basically the highest challenge for a weapon armorer, and it takes a lot of patience to make some changes to the surface of such a hard object, even with spell support.

Failure over and over again didn't discourage Siegel, who focused his feelings at his fingertips, even the slightest changes. In the end, it was the training of the dwarf Elint that helped him the most. He also vividly remembered how the dwarves taught him to distinguish the materials of weapons and armor, feel their center of gravity and feel, and find vulnerable parts to strike.

When he reused what he had learned, he finally felt different. Adamantite materials are finally able to communicate with him like steel. It's like a dwarf can see through rocks. So he was very confident in the adamantite gold stamping hammer he had made this time, and took a piece of steel and put it underneath it.

Erdu also leaned over to look, his round eyes staring intently at the ram, silently praying to the Serpent of Order.

Siegel pulled the lever, and the hammer slammed into the steel plate, accompanied by a deafening noise of fire. The two of them couldn't wait to raise their rams and cast their scout spells.

"So far so good. "There are no fractures in the engraving, and there are no very uneven thicknesses. I'll try it with prosthetics. ”

Repair is just a very simple spell in a mage's spell that can only be used to repair simple items such as doors, windows, tables, chairs, clothes, etc. Repair spells are very sensitive to materials, elemental affinities, and the presence of magic circles, so magic items cannot be repaired with this spell. Even sometimes an item is only enchanted to the point where it can't be enchanted.

The energy of the Repair spell enveloped the steel plate, but to no avail. Siegel and Erdu clapped their hands and laughed excitedly.

"Come on to the next step!" Erdu ran to the next machine with the steel plate in his hand, unable to wait for the conveyor belt. The slender robotic arm precisely places the gemstone powder at the node location, then burns it with electric plasma, spreading it in the engraving to form an interconnected network.

In addition to adjusting the machine settings in the future to reduce the consumption of gemstone powder and save costs. This step was also successfully completed. The steel plate then continued to run, being grabbed by the boom and immersed in cold water. This water is used for cooling and a special material is added to form an insulating layer of protection on the plasma lines. Siegel couldn't make a jelly-resistant anti-leakage coating, so he could only use the alchemy materials of the Mage Federation.

The material is not durable, and after a few years it loses its ability to insulate. At that time, the entire magazine will be useless. But it's not a handmade magic item, and it's not meant to be used forever - if it solves the problem at hand.

After cooling, the boom shakes, drains the remaining moisture from the steel plate, and then places it on the final forming lathe. Here the steel plate is bent and turned into the shell of the magazine. The magic array that was originally distributed on several sides will also be closed here, and it will finally take shape.

This step is crucial: the lines of the magic pattern need to be closed, and no mistakes can be made in terms of angle, force, or timing, otherwise all the work done will be lost.

The two men held their breath. The heart is silently praying. The lathe made a screeching sound, and the thin steel plate had no power to resist. A faint glow emanated from the ammo magazine, clearly the aura of the magic item as it was formed.

Siegel and Erdu's hands were trembling, and it took a long time to control their emotions. Erdu picked up the ammo magazine, and Siegel cast his detection magic.

A very obvious aura, steady, clear, intense.

The two men found the ammunition holder and fastened it in the box, slightly tight. But this has little impact. They pulled the plasma bolts they had prepared long ago from the Stabilization Magic Circle, which was exactly the same as the one on the magazine, but hand-drawn by Siegel on the crafting table. Then stuffed into the ammunition magazine, and then the wait began.

A few hours passed, and the plasma bolts were still very stable.

This is a good sign. The crossbow bolts made by Siegel before would dissolve after a few minutes of taking out the magic array, and they would not be like now.

"Very good, it seems that there is a good chance of success this time. Siegel said to Ertu. "Now we're going to take a look. Mass production is not possible. ”

Mozuka excitedly ran to the beginning of the assembly line and pushed the joystick up on tiptoe. The Flame Soul Crystal emits a red glow, sending energy to the mechanical arm. The standard formed steel plate is pushed into the conveyor belt, and the hammer is slowly lifted and then dropped with a bang.

The whole assembly line runs in an orderly manner, reflecting the order and rigor of the mechanical environment everywhere. Erdu looked at the gears, levers, and propeller shafts with satisfaction. Listen to them make mechanical and pleasant sounds.

The two of them were like being in a Void Ship, following the assembly line from beginning to end. When the lathe closed the magazine and the glimmer of magic returned, the two could not help but embrace.

"A new page has been turned in the history of magic in this world!" Siegel pretended to be old-fashioned, waving his arms vigorously in the air, and his passionate voice was particularly powerful to the accompaniment of the sonorous noise of the assembly line. "Erdu, as the maker of the entire assembly line, do you have anything to say to history?"

Erdu's mouth opened wide, and a stream of saliva hung down from the corner of his mouth. Its eyes skimmed to the roof, not knowing what it was thinking for a moment. Siegel coughed twice, and the mounds came back to their senses, sucked first, and then said very sincerely, "I want some rewards." ”

"Say, what do you want?"

"Not much, I want a golem. Erdu's steel shell was as hot as it was, glowing a dark red. "Don't bother to build me a new one, I think the one above is called Rhett. ”

Siegel didn't know what expression to use to deal with this, but he certainly wouldn't laugh at the mozuka. Maybe that's the difference in aesthetics between different races.

He crouched down, made himself as tall as Erdu, and then said to him sincerely, "I can't do this." Rhett is an independent person, just like you. None of you belong to me, and I can't give anyone to whom. ”

"If I say I'm your property, can you give me away?"

Siegel tapped the mound's skull lightly and listened to the sound of ping-pong coming from inside. "You just want to be lazy and find a way to save trouble! I can help you with the two of you, but I definitely won't force either side. Then again, if you crackle like this all day, it won't look sturdy and pleasing it?"

"Uh...... I never thought about that. Erdu was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "What do you think I should do?"

Siegel pinched his chin and remembered his long-shelved Elemental Golem project. He looked the mound up and down with excited eyes, and then said, "I think the first step should be to make the difference in your height not too big. ”

The mound nodded vigorously, it felt that the idea was right.

"In the second step, you can't have too much difference in strength, otherwise he will push you down, and it will be too fragile. ”

Erdu definitely had something else on his mind, and he repeated vigorously, "Will he push me?" (To be continued......
