Evans has been training with Levi with several probationary knights since he detected his supernatural powers, and it is worth mentioning that one of the six probationary knights is also an acquaintance of his.

That's the Warin I met in the academy, and his brother Colin is the officer who saved his grandmother, and I have to say that this is also a kind of fate.

They are all going to enter the army in the future, but they are still too young, so they still need to wait for a period of training before being sent to the army.

After receiving Ryan's special call-up order, Evans almost jumped up with excitement, this is his chance to make meritorious contributions, and it is a great opportunity for him to climb up!

"I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity." Levi nodded secretly, he had already seen the hidden ambition in Evans's heart, and he wanted to climb up.

Ambition is not a bad thing, this is the direction and motivation of a person's progress and efforts, just at the right time, Levi recommended him in front of Ryan, whether he can complete the task and enter the eyes of Lord Ryan depends on his own performance!

——————

Not to mention that Liman is a genius, before Ryan proposed the idea of liberating the productive forces, in a short time, Liman came up with the first version of the plan, and it was quickly put into production.

It took only half a month before and after Susan informed Ryan that the manufacturing was completed, and this speed almost shocked Ryan's jaw, so fast? Are you sure it works?

Suspicious, Ryan made his way to the lab again, but he didn't go in because a big guy was in front of him.

This is a guy made of pure steel, the whole is two meters tall and more than one meter wide, the main body is like a large iron box, the bottom has four wheels that can be used for movement, and the top of it protrudes a part, it looks like it should be half exposed [magic well].

On its side, it has a huge spiral drill bit with a protrusion of nearly two meters in diameter, which is silvery-gray in color.

"This is your latest research?" Ryan circled around the iron lump, rubbing his chin.

It was still the magician's apprentice Sparrow who stepped forward, and he bowed to Ryan and said, "Yes my lord, this is the result of our research during this time, and we named it [Smasher Type I]. ”

Ryan looked at the big guy and said thoughtfully, "Tell me more." ”

"We're here to help." Sparrow was now completely less nervous and shy in the face of Ryan, and he pointed to the top of the machine and said, "That's a miniaturized [magic well] as its energy supply.

The main body contains its twelve parts, which are protected in thick armor, and thousands of runes are inscribed inside, which will activate when injected with mana, thus driving the huge drill in front of it.

This drill is made of a special alloy made by my mentor and me, and a lot of Mithril is added to it to increase its strength.

Behind the drill bit is a metal arm that drives the drill bit to rotate when activated at a position that pushes the drill bit about a meter away.

Because of the large number of [Sharp Runes] and [Powerful Runes] inscribed, the drill bit is very sharp and powerful, and ordinary metal ore is as soft as bread in front of it.

When used, it only needs to be placed in the mine, the drill bit is close to the place you want to mine, once activated, the spiral drill bit can crush the ore, and the worker only needs to carry it outside. ”

Ryan frowned and said, "With the height of this drill bit, how can you collect ore from higher places?" And it needs to be in a hole that has already been laid to run, which is a bit too cumbersome, and how can it walk, can't it be pushed behind? ”

Apparently they had been prepared for these problems, and Liman walked up to him and said, "There is actually a detached platform at the bottom of it, and when you use it, you only need to pull this red trigger to turn the drill bit straight ahead, and when you get to the front, it can be used to open up a mine."

It is also easy to collect ore from higher places, and the robotic arm behind the drill bit can do a limited amount of up, down, left and right movements, just by pulling the lever.

The range is about a 3 by 3 three-dimensional space, which is just a small device, and if you make it bigger, you can have a larger excavation range.

Don't you see the wheels about walking, we have carved [Rotation Runes] on the bearing shaft between the two wheels, and when activated, they will cause the wheels to rotate, but due to their own weight, these wheels can only move slowly in a straight line.

You can control its movement with this green trigger, and if you pull it, the bearing shaft will lose its energy supply and stop. ”

Liman pointed to two differently colored triggers and a joystick behind the [Smasher] and gave Ryan a very detailed explanation.

"It's amazing, it's amazing how well a finished product has been produced in such a short period of time, and how well it has been thought out."

Ryan's big hand felt the coldness of the steel, and his eyes were full of surprise and admiration.

"Hmph, there's nothing surprising about it, as long as the most difficult part of the drawing is designed, the construction is actually very simple.

I divided it into many parts, the largest and most time-consuming shell, as well as the wheels and bearing shafts, all of which were made in the blacksmith's workshop.

I used my privilege to mobilize dozens of blacksmiths to get involved.

The most critical drill bit was built by me and Sparrow, although I pursue rune technology, but I have to admit that at present, we can only create such a large drill bit if we have mastered the power of magic.

The rest of the mechanical arms, rune combinations, carvings, etc., were led by Susan to complete them, and finally combined these parts to have it. ”

There was a faint pride in Liman's tone, after all, the birth of each rune creation represented a further step forward in rune technology.

"Even then, that's fast enough." Ryan naturally praised it, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and with a wave of his hand, he increased the budget of the rune laboratory by thirty percent, asking for money for money, and asking for people to give people!

Looking at it, Ryan's mind suddenly flashed and said, "I think it is completely possible to install two rune lamps on these two sides, after all, the lighting in the mine is also a big problem."

Also, I think you can add a conveyor belt, just under the drill bit, after the drill bit will mine the ore, it will fall directly along the thread on the conveyor belt, and it can be transported out of the mine directly, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources. ”

His suggestion made everyone present stunned for a moment, these were all things they didn't take into account, Liman thought for a while and said: "It's no problem to install rune lamps at all, as for the conveyor belt you said, can you talk about it carefully." ”

So Ryan gave a general description of the conveyor belt in his previous life, and as soon as he finished speaking, Sparrow on the side had already formed a rough design drawing in his mind, and he said that there was no technical difficulty, and he only needed to modify it later and then it could be directly put into construction.

This wave of operations is true to Ryan stunned, when is it so easy to design drawings, and the plan is just finished here, what is the structure of your brain?

But Liman and Susan and the others were not surprised, and later Ryan learned from Susan that Sparrow has an extremely outstanding talent in this area, and he has perfected more than half of the design drawings of [Crusher] alone, and Susan and Liman are not as good as him.

To get back to the point, since there was no problem with the technology, they went straight to the renovation and construction.

Ten days later, the [Crusher I] was secretly sent to the Black Iron Mine along with a 300-meter-long conveyor belt, and the actual combat test officially began.

Ryan finally saw the rune-tech version of the conveyor belts, which were one meter wide and made of tough leather, with the upper and lower two connected end to end.

In the center of the two layers of leather are rollers depicted with [Spinning Runes], which are powered by a single [Mana Well], and when activated, these rollers can drive these conveyor belts to move.

These belts are about 30 centimeters above the ground, with brackets at intervals to ensure that the belts do not touch the ground.

Everything is ready, all you need is activation.

As a tester, Kopaic personally placed the magic crystal in the groove on the side.

Soon, the [Mana Well] was the first to be activated, and began to absorb the surrounding mana, which soon activated the various parts of the machine as an energy source, and the machine began to tremble and let out bursts of roar.

The rune lamps on both sides were the first to be activated, and the light quickly illuminated the surroundings, followed by the drill bit, and the mechanical arm extended from the main body, extending the drill bit by about a meter, and began to rotate rapidly.

Since it is a test, it is natural to come one by one.

Kopaic took the lead in pulling the red trigger, and the drill bit that was originally on the side slowly turned to the front, and he pressed the green trigger again, and several large wheels of [Crusher] began to move slowly.

The turtle-moving [Crusher] soon turned his head and made close contact with the iron ore at the end of the mine, accompanied by a rumbling sound and smoke and dust, and the high-speed rotating drill bit quickly peeled off the pieces of ore.

Copaitch immediately manipulated the joystick to rotate the robotic arm with the drill bit up and down, left and right, and soon a mine cavern large enough to hold the massive body of [Crusher] appeared.

It wasn't until he had advanced three or four hundred meters that he pulled the green trigger again to stop the machine, ordered the conveyor belt to be laid next to each other, and Kopaitch pulled the trigger, turning the drill to the side, and manipulating the trigger to move the [Smasher] backwards.

With a rumbling sound, the mining officially began.

Everything went as expected, turning the head slowly forward, and the crushed ore fell down the spiral to the conveyor belt below, and the conveyor belt driven by the rollers quickly transported the ore out in a steady stream.

Technology is indeed the primary productive force, even if it is only such a small [Crusher], its efficiency is far from being comparable to that of artificial labor, although its cost is close to a thousand Jindler, but Ryan feels that it is worth it.

Because such a machine is enough to top hundreds of miners, and with the conveyor belt, more labor is liberated.

"Good, good. After the second unit is built, it will be sent to the big coal mountain to mine coal. Ryan couldn't stop talking as he watched the steady stream of ore.

At this time, there was no need for Copacy to operate, the machine would run on its own, and he came to Ryan and said, "My lord, this machine needs to be equipped with at least two operators to be on the safe side, and it needs to stop running for a day after a week of operation."

Because of continuous high-intensity use, the internal parts and runes are likely to be unable to hold on, so rest is a must.

In addition, the drill bit is a consumable, and the use will cause wear and tear, and the efficiency will gradually decrease, and it will need to be replaced to a certain extent, so it is necessary to produce a spare drill bit.

The drill bit is the most valuable component, and at the moment only me and the instructor can build it, it will be very slow in terms of efficiency, and the instructor will not be able to produce the drill bit for a long time.

If you're in high demand, I'd recommend recruiting more mages who can only be responsible for crafting drills, so there won't be a problem with secrecy. ”

Ryan nodded in understanding, he knew in his heart that it was not easy for Liman to spare valuable research time to build these drill bits, and if he had to make an inch, he would really turn his face.

"Looks like we're going to have to dig up a few magicians." Ryan muttered inwardly.

In the past, he was a baron, and the "noble" existence of the magician looked down on him, even the wild mage couldn't look down on him, but now it's different, as a viscount, he should have no problem digging up a few magicians.

Glancing at the machine that was still operating, Ryan said to Levi beside him: "This experiment must be kept strictly secret, and no rumors can be revealed.

Later, the miners of the iron mine were repatriated in batches and put into the construction of the new city. In the future, it was used as the main mining point, and a few astute slaves were selected to train them to become operators, working in groups of two or two.

Another group of slaves to carry the transported ore, and another soldier with a rate (50) as guards, must be kept strictly secret during this period, knowing that the fewer machines the better, understand? ”

Levi took the order solemnly and began to make arrangements......

Although the large-scale dismissal of miners has attracted the attention of those who care, no one expected that Ryan would have an automated mining machine, and if the existence of [Crusher] spreads, before Ryan has enough strength, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold it at all.

The success of [Crusher] was like a shot in the arm for Ryan, and with two more units put into use, the ore of Kanna Collar was piled up in a short period of time.

The original blast furnace could no longer satisfy Ryan, and with Susan's cooperation, he designed a new type of rune smelting furnace, which was not only more efficient, but also had a larger capacity.

The furnace was not at all difficult to produce, and it was soon put into operation, for which Lane built the new Karna steel plant.

Since then, the steel production of Kanna Collar has ushered in a leap and bound, and with the input of [Crusher], the output will definitely increase gradually.

However, the production of [Crusher] is currently restricted, and for this reason, Ryan has proposed a generous reward to recruit mages......
