Chapter 502: Count Turtle
When he was worried and anxious, Kaka walked along the ridge next to the wheat field.
Looking at the boundless wheat waves along the way, and feeling the golden sea formed by the intertwining of order and harvest, he will get a rare peace of mind in his heart.
Just like he used to walk on the seashore of Treasure Island.
Goblins are shorter than the ancestors of the White Bones, and their vision is narrower and lower, whether it is ordinary humans, cows, or horses, they will give goblins a sense of tall oppression.
Sometimes Kaka thinks that the goblin clan is always anxious, crazy and eager, indulging in quick profits and making explosives, maybe it has something to do with the innate emaciation.
The life of the goblins is very fast-paced, and it is almost impossible to see where the goblins are lying lazily resting, and most of the goblins are either actively making money, or are inventing and finding a way. The richer and more powerful the goblins, the more they want.
They need an extremely abundant sense of power.
In the fast-paced world, goblins love slow animals like golden turtles, giant snails, and dryland lizards.
Just watching them move slowly gave the goblins a sense of satisfaction and security.
The slow life may not be destined for the goblins, so at least take a look at these pets and get a moment of peace and comfort from them.
On a sunny day, Kaka walked outside the Yao Temple to pray and worship.
There were always many people along the high walls of the temple's outer temple, including the Bone Ancestors, ghosts and goblins, dwarves and mystical mages.
Kaka knelt on the ground, his hands on the wall, as the others did in silence.
"O great Yaoshen, your devout believers beg for your revelation and guidance......"
As with most people, the gods did not answer.
Just as Kaka lost his mind, a wave of cheers suddenly sounded behind him.
He turned his head to look.
I saw a skeletal cavalry slowly approaching from outside the city.
First up is the red-cloaked coach Harros, and behind him is the hero Sidal on a bony horse – wearing a wide-brimmed fur hat and carrying a crossbow machine are all emblems of Sidal.
"Mediators! Mediators! ”
"Victory belongs to the kingdom! We have won the war! ”
"The war is over! Justice will prevail! ”
"Sidar, Sidal!"
"Giants, giants, we have giants too!"
……
Hearing the excited cheers of the people, Kaka felt extremely bitter.
People always prefer heroes who single-handedly change the situation.
The same thing, if it is done by one person, it is a great hero, and if it is replaced by a mechanical device or a cold prop, it is "this little thing is quite useful".
Seeing that many of the people in the expeditionary force were wounded and disabled, and some of them were buried forever, Kaka suddenly thought that this might be the advantage and uniqueness of the White Bone Project.
This is the revelation given by Lord Yaoshen!
He ran all the way to find Buki.
"Buki, we have to keep going! No matter how strong the transcendents and giants are, they can't replace the White Bone Project! ”
"The White Bone Project can create devices built of white bones, which can be repaired and remanufactured even if they are destroyed, which can greatly reduce the sacrifice and loss of personnel!"
"Compared with the gene sequence that needs to complete gene activation, the white bone project does not require civilians to take risks, and only needs to know how to operate, while the ancestors of white bones are born with bones, which are all advantages."
"As long as there are drawings, structures, and clear manufacturing processes, energy will continue to be manufactured!"
"Supply and demand are truth! Everyone will definitely need the White Bone Project! Because no one wants to face a threat of death! ”
Buki also nodded and said, "The repeated experiment I just finished has proved that the steam furnace can be added to the white bone project. Relying on the goblin machine and foundation, it can not only drive the white bone arm to carry heavy loads, but also the legs. Even in complex terrain, you can move at will. ”
"We don't have to worry about the wheels not being able to carry too much weight and too much body! The puzzle of moving is solved! ”
The two further explored the potential of the White Bone Project from different angles.
Over the next two years, Kaka and Buki built the first finished product of the White Bone Project, the White Bone Plate Frame Car.
The white skeleton frame car uses the steam furnace as the power core, and can be disassembled and assembled at any time, and can be stored according to the increase or decrease of the weight of the environment.
The first appearance of this large box-shaped vehicle was a public test for everyone.
The craftsmen on the plate frame cart dismantled a white bone mage tower and carried it intact onto the wide load-bearing plate of the plate frame cart.
Next, the plate carriage carried the Bone Mage Tower to complete the smooth casting of the spell while moving, perfectly released the killing light, and drove from the reclamation city to the fortress, completing the repair surgery of the three Bone Ancestors in the car.
The corresponding report was also given in the "Shachengdi Daily".
"The Resurrection Kingdom has completed the transportation and movement of the Mage Tower."
Although there are only a few descriptions, it has also made many people pay attention to the white bone project. The kingdom's military soon incorporated the Bone Plate Frame Carts into the official armament sequence, and in conjunction with the Bone Mage Tower, greatly expanded the kingdom's defense line and coverage.
But at this time, Kaka and Buki discussed and decided to postpone further development of engineering applications, and instead spent all their energy on the formulation of basic standards for the White Bone Project.
Many years later, in an interview with the newspaper Shachengdi, Kaka was also proud of this decision.
"Instead of accelerating like crazy, we chose to hold back the pace, slow down, lay a good foundation, do a good job of categorizing and standardizing the basics, and put a lot of time and energy into the basics. This proved to be the right decision! ”
……
After eleven years of silent and silent research, Kaka and Buki have finally completed their standard-setting.
This is known as the first edition of the 377-page manual of the White Bone Engineering Code.
The manual regulates the types and labels of white bones, including 33 orthopedic species, including the most common genera, such as human, sheep, horse, bovine, dog, avian, and fish.
Each orthopedic department is marked with different bone types.
For example, the genus Homo usually has 206 bones, and the genus Sheep usually has 362 bones.
Each part of the bone has its own unique number.
For example, the No. 1 human bone represents the ethmoid bone in the skull; No. 2 sheep bone refers to the parietal bone in the sheep skull.
The bones left by the lives of different species seem to be not very different, but the subtle morphological structure is not consistent, ensuring a clear standard of species, so that the white bone project has a clear operation process.
Once the bone material is obtained, the craftsmen need to sort and number the various bones according to the manual, confirming their models.
In this way, even inexperienced craftsmen can find and use them according to the category.
On the basis of confirming the number and model number of common bones, the manual also sets out the accuracy and material standards of the design drawings.
Intact bones, damaged bones, and bones with missing pieces belong to three different levels of raw materials, which are excellent, good, and coarse.
Taking the white skeleton frame car as an example, its load-bearing frame must be made of all high-quality materials, and only partial non-functional shells are allowed to use coarse materials.
Otherwise, it is a substandard product and does not meet the standards of white bone engineering.
In addition, for the first time, the White Bone Project also proposed to carry out a special workshop-style manufacturing process, so that the workshop can be divided into different groups of craftsmen, and different groups specialize in a certain type of bone model, so as to complete the collaborative work with a high degree of proficiency.
This set of norms and standards has caused huge controversy as soon as it was introduced.
Many craftsmen think that the manual specifications are too cumbersome, which is not conducive to design, manufacturing and operation, and is completely unnecessary. They scoffed at this, saying that in the past, there was no mess in making bone horses and skeleton dogs.
Even the Chancellor of the Exchequer expressed concern: "If such a clear and detailed classification is followed, the restrictions and costs of using and manufacturing bones in the future will be very high." ”
But it didn't take long for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to become a champion and guardian of the White Bone Project and the Engineering Code.
He made a clear statement in the "Shacheng Mansion Daily": "The road to the prosperity of the kingdom will start from the White Bone Project!" This is an incomparable creation and the brainchild of two great inventors, Kaka and Buki! (wagging finger)"
"The standardized white bone project is the only way for the kingdom! (hands spread)"
The reason for this change was that Yao sent a mission to visit the Resurrection Kingdom for the first time.
The leading ambassador is the legendary prophet Black Forge.
Black Forge directly proposed that the Yao clan hoped to purchase a batch of [White Bone Plate Frame Cars] and reach a long-term cooperation and joint research and development with the Resurrection Kingdom on the White Bone Project.
"This is a remarkable and significant initiative, and we are here to learn from you. If I could, would I like to talk to Kaka and Buki face to face? Of course, on the premise of not affecting their work. ”
Black Forge gave a very high evaluation and showed the sincerity of the Yao people: the Yao Kingdom and the Resurrection Kingdom signed an agreement for in-depth cooperation.
The agreement stipulates that Yao Guo and the Resurrection Kingdom will jointly establish two colleges of higher learning, and the teachers and students in them will be selected from the outstanding talents of the two countries.
One is in the royal city of the kingdom, called [United Friendship University], which is a comprehensive large school.
The other is in Kencheng, called [White Bone Engineering College], which specializes in cultivating related talents with white bone engineering as the core.
In addition to the field of education, Yaoguo also officially established a long-term trade route with the Kingdom of Resurrection, using Shacheng as a transit point, and talents from the two countries began to exchange more and travel freely.
Finally, Yao Guo also shared the latest [Ice Furnace] and [Elemental Theory] with the Resurrection Kingdom. These in-depth studies of the nature of the world shocked Kingdom scholars and further sensed the gap between the two sides on the level of civilization.
The White Bone Project has been recognized and learned by the powerful Yao Kingdom, and it has also brought real money, and the advancement of the entire kingdom has become unhindered.
……
Three years after the publication of the White Bone Engineering Manual, the Moving Fort was born.
It is a movable fortress with a core skeleton of the highest quality. The fortress is made up of four houses, with two tall towers of bone mages at the top and crab-shaped legs at the bottom that partially mimic the foot structure of the dragons, thanks to the dragon corpse specimens provided by the Yao.
The entire mobile fortress is 18.6 meters high and 14.4 meters wide, equipped with 12 standard steam stoves, 4 ice steam furnaces, and a number of all-round stones, and the shape looks like a shovel armor walking upright.
When this fortress slowly passed by the city, the sense of oppression brought by the heavy giant was incomparable, making the White Bone Ancestors hold their breath and look up from afar.
In the field experiment, the new monster named [Little Dot] defeated the hero Sidar head-on, and the cross-fire of the Bone Mage Tower made the Barnyard Giant unable to withstand the continuous damage, and finally conceded defeat.
But the significance of the birth of a mobile fortress is much more than a combat strike.
It makes it easier to expand the city outward, just move the fortress into a certain area, and then shrink your feet to land on the ground, and you can build a small town with defense around the fortress.
At the same time, this is also the most powerful proof of the standardization of white bone engineering.
As long as you operate in accordance with the standard of the specification, you can theoretically create an infinite number of [small dots].
……
In the field, the mobile fortress [Little Dot] stepped over the hill and easily wiped out the electric wolves.
The bone mage on the tower poked out his bare head and asked the people on the lawn below: "How is it?" Accuracy isn't bad, right? ”
Buki gave him a thumbs up: "Accurate! The wolf cubs were all beaten stupid. ”
"Wha, this is the charm of the White Bone Mage Tower!"
In the corner of the lawn, Kaka looked at the glass box next to him, and the little turtle inside was walking slowly. The goblin engineer's pointed nose was pressed against the glass surface, his eyes fixed on the sluggish animal inside.
Buki also looked down at the turtle: "Dude, the name [Count Turtle] really doesn't sound very imposing...... You really don't think about another one? ”
"That's it, it's good. Sometimes it's time to slow down, like a turtle. ”
Kaka said, "What about you, [Count Zero] is not ready to change?" ”
"No, I don't change. Starting from scratch can be difficult, but it's also a lot of fun. Just like this little one, he is now traveling around the world to test whether he can adapt to various environments and long-term marches, which is also a kind of starting from scratch. ”
The two were chatting.
Suddenly, the faces of both sides froze, and then they both saw the joy in each other's eyes, and they both emitted a white faint light.
The two of them quickly knelt on the ground.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you, Lord Yaoshen!"
Feeling the holy and warm power in his body, Kaka suddenly remembered the Treasure Island.
He remembers the moments of excitement in the past, and he never forgets the moments of humiliation and ridicule.
But he didn't think of those things now.
What came to mind was just a very ordinary scene.
The weather was fine that day, the sun was neither hot nor cold. His mother, who had not yet died, held his hand, and his father was still young, and his steps were fast and powerful.
As he walked, his father said confidently: "When I make money tomorrow, I will buy you a golden turtle, and I must choose the big one, and buy the expensive one!" ”
Mother just smiled.
And Kaka, who is still young, is full of thoughts that he will be able to get a large sea turtle tomorrow.
I'd love to come early tomorrow.
