Chapter Twenty-Five: Flying Sword Production
Looking at the entrance of the cave, all the people present were excited, and countless screams, whistles, gongs and drums continued to come from all sides of the battleship. Lu Zhongyi, who was in the center of the scene, was even more excited, as if he had turned into a star at this moment, oh no, he was already a star, performing on stage, working very hard, the flying sword kept churning up and down in his hand, flying around, the huge iron anchor was constantly cut out of different shapes, and then he worked hard to fly that one in front of everyone's eyes, and quieted down for a while, so that those people could see the blade clearly, and let them know that the sword was not damaged in the slightest. This kind of general sales behavior made the soldiers shout hard, and everyone knew what kind of effect such a sword would have if it was equipped with the entire expeditionary force. There were even dozens of people who took out their flying swords, pinched their fingers, and the flying swords rushed directly towards Lu Zhongyi's flying swords, and after a while, more than a dozen flying swords were all cut in two by the flying sword, and some were even directly cut into iron, and the edge of the flying sword was not damaged at all, which pushed the atmosphere to a higher climax.
"How many flying swords can be made in a day?" Kong Ming looked at it for a while, then walked directly to Pang Shushi's side and asked, this was the question he was most concerned about.
"Ahh
"How many flying swords like this can be made in a day?" Kong Ming asked again, this guy is obviously a god, where is there any distraction. It's purely selling the old according to the old, and he slandered with an empty stomach.
This time, Pang Shushi finally heard clearly. Said directly: "10,000 a day!"
"It's too little, can you make more?" Kong Ming frowned. 10,000 swords a day, 3.56 million swords a year, in this way, it will take several years for all the officers and men of the entire expeditionary force to be equipped with this kind of flying sword, which will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force, which is unacceptable to Kong Ming.
"This is already our best effort!" Pang Shushi shook his head, of course he knew that the expeditionary force needed this kind of flying sword, and the more there were, the better, but. The production capacity of those businesses is so large, no matter how much it is, it really can't be built.
"Where is the pass?" Zhang Yiming came to their side and asked, and at this time, the other members of the command also saw the conversation between the two and came over one after another.
"On the depiction of magic arrays and formations. Collecting ores, smelting, and forging them into swords are not lacking in manpower, after all, this does not require any high-tech and high-level work, and most of the swordsmen of the fourth or fifth level can do it. Only in the two items of carving the magic array and the formation, there are too few people, and it takes people above level seven to do it, and this is a meticulous work. If you make a mistake, a flying sword must be reforged, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Pang Shushi sighed.
"Can you think of something about it? Let them be more productive? This will allow us to have more flying swords before the battle. Kong Ming asked.
"It's the result of the best I tried and I took all the factors into account. Otherwise, it will be even lower, and now it will only be necessary to pass guò with you. Those merchants began to produce these flying swords. Pang Shushi sighed a little, of course he knew the expeditionary force's thirst for flying swords, but it was helpless.
"Or we can try another way to speed up the production of flying swords. Zhang Yiming thought for a while and said, everyone else was looking at him, and at the same time, they were also thinking about what kind of way to increase productivity, so that this kind of flying sword could be used by everyone in the fastest time.
"What method?" asked Zhuge Yibu, everyone watching.
"The merchant only needs to carry out the first few steps of the flying sword, and the last step is the depiction of the magic array and formation by the soldiers themselves. Zhang Yiming opened his mouth and said, if according to his idea, the merchant only needs to be responsible for casting the sword into a sword embryo, and then sending the sword to the hands of the user, so that they can complete the last step of the flying sword, depicting the magic array and formation, so that the last pass of the process will not exist.
"The idea is good, but you must know that these gods of ours don't know much about magic arrays, and even fewer know how to form formations. Li Feizhi said, among the soldiers of the expeditionary force, most of them are converted from swordsmen, they know very little about magic arrays and formations and other ghost-like things, and the level of these flying swords is also high, and the general masters have also been carved for a long time in order to ensure the grade, let these old men do this work, isn't it bad for those flying swords? Obviously, there are a lot of people who have this kind of idea, many people are nodding, and Pang Shushi is directly stunned, isn't this method a way for them to be a garbage recycling station? All the things that failed to be refined were thrown at him, and it was over. He's going to have to put those flying swords back in the furnace, so there's more work to do.
"The flying sword made in this way, one quality can not be guaranteed, one of the hundred flying swords may not be a good flying sword, the second is too wasteful, and casting a sword is much longer than casting a sword, after all, once it is to be reforged, many metal components still need to be remodulated, so it wastes more energy and time. Pang Shushi said, as a casting master, he has a strong authority in this regard, so after hearing this, everyone was silent, after all, Pang Shushi said that it was not wrong, in order to save materials, the part of the blade in this sword is made of an alloy, and the part of the middle sword spine of the sword is made of iron alloy, which is completely two different alloys, if it is fused together, it will be difficult to separate, so once the magic array and formation are broken, even if a sword is scrapped, I don't know if it will come out until the Year of the Monkey。
"So how can you make the sword faster and better? This is really a problem!" Zhuge Yibu sighed directly.
"Actually, that's fine. Long Tianxian muttered on the side. Suddenly, he felt a murderous aura coming straight at him, and when he looked up, it was Pang Shushi staring at him fiercely. You know, he said that it could be just a fluttering sentence. But the people who make it will be half exhausted, and they will bear other infamy. After all, as a master, refining a sword. It's an insult to him, not to mention letting a group of people who don't understand refine a lot of flying swords, you might as well kill him.
"Tell me, how can it be done?" Pang Shushi said fiercely.
"Ugh!" Long Tianxian hiccuped.
"Say!" Pang Shushi's murderous aura became a little heavier.
However, Long Tianxian was a person who came from the battlefield after all, and Pang Shushi's murderous aura directly allowed him to filter it.
"If they are refined, let their swords be used as flying swords, and if they are refined, let them cut them with their swords, what is this?" The greater his ability, the more he saw Pang Shushi like that, he came to two hundred and five.
Listen, what kind of solution is this? Isn't this a bad sword, really.
"Actually, that's okay!" The second voice came, and everyone's murderous eyes looked directly at the source of the voice, only to see that Kong Ming was looking at them, and everyone suppressed this breath, after all, the decision-making power was in Kong Ming's hands.
"Tell me about it. How can it be law?" Pang Shushi sighed and said, this sentence was said by Long Tianxian, he can still find Long Tianxian to work hard, if it is Kong Ming, then forget it. See this scene. made Long Tianxian speechless, it was really the same person's fate, and the same words were spoken. When he spoke, it was as if they were going to kill him. I can't wait to split the corpse of five horses, but after Kong Ming said it. Everyone simply ignored it.
"First of all, we have to make one thing clear, that is, the threshold or bottleneck of our construction of flying swords is in the depiction of magic arrays and formations, so let's start working hard from here, don't you deny this?" Kong Ming said as he looked around.
"That's right!"
"It's really on the depiction of magic arrays and formations. ”
Everyone said it word by word, and no one objected to this sentence, after all, it was true.
"So, if we divide this part of the people, not for them to portray, but for them to teach others how to portray, so that they don't have to do a lot of work, but distribute these tasks to the various armies, what do you think?" Kong Ming said.
As soon as everyone heard it, they knew Kongming's idea, that is, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.
"Are you saying that they should divide the sword embryos into various armies, and then the army will specially select people and portray them? Can I understand that?" Li Feizhi said.
"Well, that's right, the gods in the various armies combined, far more than those merchants portrayal, not only the level is higher, but the number is still increasing, once we are now portraying those people liberated, then they only need to teach others, let the people of each army carve by themselves, and one person teaches ten people, so that the output of the portrayal is more than ten times the previous one, after all, after one person teaches ten people, he can also teach ten more people, so that it is like a snowball, the bigger and bigger, in the future, there is no need to worry about this。 Kong Ming smiled.
"Well, this method is feasible, but there is one point, that is, the quality of those flying swords is not uniform, and it will be a little troublesome to repair all aspects in the future. Zhang Yiming said.
"The Commander's idea is okay, and once we do that, we can increase our daily production by three to three times less. Pang Shushi also reacted, if this kind of work is divided, then he can not only save a lot of labor, but also send those directly caused sword embryos over, so that he can completely let go of his hands and feet to do it, but even so, the improved efficiency can only be three times, no more, there is not much.
"Is it three times? That is, 900,000 flying swords in a month, and 2.7 million in three months, such a sword is only enough to equip the air force and navy, and the army, which is the largest combat power, can only be equipped with a small part, which is still not enough!" Kong Ming sighed, the battle with the Seagod Empire is not over in a day or two, and even it is necessary to prepare for a long-term battle, but the sooner this sword is equipped, then the sooner the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force can be fully brought into play.
"That's a lot, after all, we still have to make armor, battleships, magic crystal cannons and the like, because of the previous battle, we have recently studied a magic warship that can sneak underwater, once successful, then we can know the enemy's movements in advance underwater, not only that, but we can also fight with Warcraft underwater, so that we can also protect the battleship on the surface, both of which are the best of both worlds. Pang Shushi said. He was also very helpless, after all, most of the equipment of the expeditionary force was pressed on him.
"Hmm, you've worked so hard, those merchants still cooperate, right?" Kong Ming asked, the equipment of the expeditionary force is generally studied by Binhai University, and some of them are studied by various merchants. After the research is finalized, it will be directly produced by those manufacturers who follow the expeditionary force, and the expeditionary force will be responsible for collecting enough, and the role of Pang Shushi in this is to study new types of equipment and urge those to discuss production. After all, for Kong Ming, the expeditionary force is a pure army, not a production brigade, so most of the equipment and materials are provided by merchants, as for money, some of the spoils of the expeditionary force are paid, and most of them are provided by various countries, so that all countries know that the expeditionary force does not have any independent ideas, they are just a group of adventurers, and they are the army of Huatian Continent. And as the expeditionary force conquered more and more places, those countries became richer and richer, which was a win-win.
"Hehe must be very cooperative, after all, we are their food and clothing parents. Pang Shushi said with a smile.
"Well, it's settled, let them produce flying swords, and the soldiers of our expeditionary force will directly depict the magic array, and after your various armies go back, they will immediately select those gods who are proficient in magic arrays and formations, and start training, and there should be as many people as possible, so as to ensure the quality and quantity of our swords. The other one was selected by Tang Xiang and Pang Shushi, and then let about ten weapon manufacturers join in the manufacture of flying swords, so that we could have more people to produce flying swords. Hmm, how many times can we improve Pang Shushi in this way?" Kong Ming asked, the provision of flying swords is not a matter of one or two years, but a long time, after all, the swords in the battle are too damaged, and the original production technology of those flying swords is low, so they can produce a lot of flying swords at the same time, but now that the quality of the flying swords has improved, they seem to be a little powerless, so Kong Ming can only introduce some more merchants.
"If that's the case, if you get rid of the start time, you should be able to produce more than 50,000 flying swords a day in the future. Pang Shushi calculated in his heart.
"One and a half million flying swords a month, you can finish all the equipment in more than a year, so you can, let them implement it immediately, the key is to deal with this second battle, I have a hunch that this second battle will be unprecedentedly cruel. Kong Ming sighed, for a Venerable One, many things will have some premonitions. (To be continued......)
