Chapter 449: Progress

In order to be able to realize his plan, Siegel initiated a meeting of the Federation's Board of Directors to formally request assistance from the Federation. Building a chain of teleportation arrays connecting the two continents and turning the sea into a thoroughfare is an ambitious idea, which is extremely beneficial to the Heim Territory, but it is just an ordinary project for the Federation. The construction of the magic ship had taken up a lot of their energy, and the apprentices filled the rest of the time. The mages were already feeling too busy, so Siegel saw many frowns, clearly not too interested in the idea of a teleportation channel.

But who could say no? Everyone looked at each other, but how could there be fools among the mages who could enter the council? Could it be that the magic ship flew into the sky with the help of the Mir Energy Core, and the drawings of the energy core had been handed over to the Federation, and then the Federation refused to help the Archmage Lord Siegel? Moreover, the construction project was carried out at the expense of Haim, and the Federation still had a profit in it.

Siegel looked at the Federation's colleagues with a smile and added as he let them slowly look at the plan in their hands, "The Federation's greatest achievement that year was the Transcontinental Teleportation Array of the Three-Peak Tower, which was a feat that the Mage Guild had not yet completed. The new federation should have something of its own, and this one you are circulating is. The magic devices used in it, the long-lasting teleportation array and the energy path marker, are the latest research results of the mages of the Federation. Moreover, the efficiency of this teleportation array will be much higher than that of the past transcontinental teleportation array, which is a surpass of the Federation's historical achievements. ”

"It's a very creative idea, and I don't think it's as difficult as it seems. Wilwood was the first to speak: "I've noticed that there is a lot of repetitive equipment here, and most of it can be disassembled and given to the apprentices to work on. The base embryo can also be almost digested by the assembly line of Heim Ling. Most of the work that would take a formal mage and a few of us to complete is concentrated after two months. By that time, the magic ship had already been completed. ”

Siegel nodded. Agree: "I also have estimates in my proposal. If all goes well, the teleportation will be operational when the dwarves are in session, which will have a significant impact and enhance the reputation of the Federation. ”

Three or four months is not a short time, but it is not too long. Siegel's plan was clearly written, and the mages of the Federation could not find any defensible reason to oppose it for a while. William, another archmage with a veto, was still "loitering" outside, and in this case, could it be that everyone's "tacit understanding" could form more than half of the opposition? The mages knew this was impossible, so the rest of the council agreed, except for Wendy, the head of the protection department, who objected.

Everyone knows why Wendy voted against her: unless Siegel can accept her, she will definitely continue to oppose it. This is a very childish behavior, but can emotional matters still be brought to the fore, slowly dismantled and explained one by one like an analysis spell? This veto will not change anything.

"Your Excellency, the Federation will support your plans, but for now the priority is still to complete the magic ship. The Chief Shelley of the Necromantic Department said to him, "We will review the specific manufacturing instructions after we receive your specific manufacturing instructions for a few days before we can arrange a specific project plan. ”

"Thank you very much for your support, I will send you the detailed drawings and the first payment of the project within two days. May the Federation prosper. ”

"Prosperity and prosperity. ”

Siegel turned and walked away, leaving Wendy with a big back. The Protector tried to stop him. I don't know what to say. Instead, the spell chief Verwood chased after him and found Siegel in the hallway.

"Archmage Siegel, I've requested to borrow a few spell books. He pulled out a blue note and handed it to Siegel.

"Oh, you're also about to start learning about the Arcane Lock and Eternal Stasis in earnest, and it looks like you've touched the boundaries of the Archmage. Siegel happily signed, allowing him to enter the archmage area to read the books. "If we encounter any problems, let's discuss them together, it is important for the Federation to have multiple archmages. ”

"I'll try. Vewood took the note, then lowered his voice and said, "I've heard something I'm not sure about, some mages are secretly trying to make another Myr's core. I suspect this may have something to do with the Mage Guild. ”

"It's a matter of time. Siegel said: "If the Mage Guild had mastered such a technology as the Energy Core, the Federation would have spared no effort to try to imitate it. Check whether this is true and how big the scope of influence is, and remember not to startle the snake. The key now is the attitude towards the association, when will the council be able to negotiate and come to a conclusion? I am ready to leave in two months, and I must not leave empty-handed. ”

Wilwood frowned and sighed, feeling helpless himself. The Federation has extremely "complicated" feelings for the Mage Association, and it simply does not work with the rational thinking methods of ordinary mages. There are contempt, fear, envy, and disdain for the Mage Association, but the most troublesome thing is the kind of person who doesn't say anything and adopts an evasive attitude to face this matter.

The claim that the Mage Guild led to the merger of the Knox Guild and the Federation lacks evidence to support it, and the transfer of the Lion King Alexander at a critical moment is more like a conspiracy theory, which also directly leads to the conclusion of "death or death" later. This matter is very similar to the situation of Heim Leader facing Mora's Peak, reason and emotion are entangled with each other, and it is not so easy to reconcile.

Siegel empathized with this, and to this day he has had little contact with the dwarves. The dwarves are as famous for their stubbornness as their patience, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to resolve the matter without the dwarven meeting. But the affairs of the Federation and the Mage Association cannot wait until that time to make a decision, at least the Federation should sort it out internally.

"Janet once told me a way to do it, maybe it would work on this too. Everyone gathered together, and instead of discussing the actions that followed, they vented all their previous emotions, whether they were crying, laughing, spitting, or scolding, they all came over and said everything that could be said. After that, after a day, everyone will be able to calm down and think. Siegel patted his chest, "It worked for me, and it never hurts to try." ”

"It's hard for me to imagine that, but you're right, it doesn't hurt to try. ”

"Do your magic protection, maybe the spells will fly and the flames will fill the sky. Siegel said goodbye and left.

There were just over two months left before Siegel left for the Dwarven Conference, and it was too late to study new theories related to the Void Cannon, so Siegel put all his energy into promoting the transformation of the production process of the territory's magic products. From the original artisan workshop production, gradually to a new manufacturing method with assembly lines, standardization and modularization as the core, using the energy furnace and creation circle powered by the Mieron core to reduce costs, and the specially designed minion golem to handle repetitive manual labor.

For tasks such as hammering, passing, smashing, and cutting, Siegel made specialized golems. All it takes is a few strong metal arms capable of completing the mission, powered by the Myrnon Core. The golem was hugely popular, and metalworking became more dependent on eyesight and experience than on muscle and endurance.

Relying on Siegel himself to make the minion golem is a drop in the bucket, and the Federation is busy with the construction of the chain teleportation array. In this case, Siegel had a flash of inspiration and created a minion golem that was used to create a minion golem.

This is a huge fellow, and the Golem Core formed by the Limited Wish Technique can understand the manufacture of several standardized Golem parts, and can also complete the assembly work. The assembled object is then handed over to the mage to complete the final steps, carving the circle, communicating with the Myr-Nec core, and casting spells to make it active.

With the Lamp God on hand to help, the Maker Golem can process a previously unseen drawing, break it down into manufacturable parts, and then assemble it. This is an important step in the history of the creation of magic items, and the speed at which minion golems can be created will be greatly increased. And with the Maker Golem, Siegel's idea of a miniaturized Golem army could be better realized.

Fortunately, if you want the golem to move, you still can't do without the mage's spell and circle ability, otherwise this will be a subversive invention for society. Can golems produce themselves? There is a clear and definite answer to this question in the multiverse, but it is only in the mechanical realm that constructed creatures can gain life in this way.

The Fabricator Golem is a behemoth, with a total of thirty-six metal arms of two or three of each with different functions. It couldn't move its position, and sat quietly like a guardian in the basement of Myr, right next to the original assembly line. The assembly line built by Erdu and Siegel has long since ceased production, and new and better technologies have been moved to a new location in the Rift Valley, which is more like a nostalgic showroom.

"If you want to mass production, you have to be standardized and modular, and the speed of manual work is no match for the Golem's ability to work day and night. "Siegel has cast a powerful protective spell here to protect the Golem Maker. "In the future, this will be the research room and maternity ward of the Golem Army, and if there is a real war, this will be the place where the seeds will be supplied. ”

The Fabricator Golem is silent, it has the ability to speak, but rarely speaks except to report glitches and production. Siegel patted its metal arm and gave him the first task. A hundred goblin muskets were produced according to the drawings, as well as five thousand warheads.

The recipe and reloading of the explosives have not yet been worked out, but the musket itself has been worked out more or less. This weapon, which does not require magical enhancement, relies on the assembly line and the Golem Maker to be sufficient.

Truly large-scale production also required workshops in the Rift Valley to adapt to new production models. Siegel already foresees a picture of the future: with detailed drawings and ample raw materials, non-magical items will literally flow down the production line.

The level of production in the Workshop will soon become the criterion for determining the power of lieges, and Heim Lords are once again ahead of everyone. What will this be called?industry?(To be continued.) )
