It is indeed very difficult to build a quasi-automated or automated industrial production line in a world that is still feudal in terms of management and social system.

In this world there is a mechanical civilization though, and it has been maintained by the dwarves. However, the development of mechanical civilization has been squeezed by the magical civilization, and the creatures developed by the magical civilization, from the high elves to the human race, have always occupied the mainstream position, and the dwarves have been squeezed out to the periphery to survive, and there are simply not enough resources to develop.

Moreover, the magical civilization does surpass the mechanical civilization, not to mention that it is shallow than the dwarves before and after the first industrial revolution, and compared with the technology tree that is still broken, it is also compared with the highly developed mechanical civilization, the magical civilization also has advantages, such as plane teleportation, before Solomon's crossing, human beings have not yet flown out of the solar system.

If in such a world, Solomon intends to climb the technological tree of mechanical civilization according to the route of the earth, not to mention that the obstacles of the old forces are far greater than on the earth, there are high-level creatures and legendary powerhouses, as well as gods; even if there are no obstacles, Solomon does not want to wait for time, he does all this in order to benefit himself, so as to gain power or control power, if it takes too long, a hundred years, or more, maybe before it is completed, he may die because of the coup d'état, because of the new king's coming to power, because of the attack of the political opponent, then the best evaluation in the history books is just a regretful remark, although so-and-so is a villain of a certain period, he is also functional, he once promoted the development of mechanical civilization. supported the Industrial Revolution.

Such an evaluation. Don't. Solomon needed not only change, but also the benefits of change.

Fortunately, although it is difficult, it does not mean that it is impossible to build such a production line, because this world is a fantasy world.

The world in which Solomon lived now was like a deformed creature, where some parts of his body were extremely developed and others could not keep up, like a man with delicate hands and feet. You have to make him a 100m champion, normally it's a physical exercise, but what if he can use his magic to blow a gust of wind when he runs, and use the direction of the wind to help him run?

When Solomon, when he was thinking, he regarded magic as an alternative technology, or in other words, the previous understanding of science and magic as different ways to achieve the goal, not presupposing who is right, and not caring who is materialistic and who is idealistic, because this is in a different world. Under the different laws of the plane, the only criterion for judging is whether the result can be practiced.

Based on this principle. From the beginning of the production process, the dwarven craftsmen of the machine shop and the magicians cooperated, first by the dwarf craftsmen of the machine shop to study a variety of mechanical devices that can replace manual operation, at the beginning they can be as imaginative, regardless of cost and complexity, only require the principle to achieve the mechanical design that can automatically complete the process.

Mechanical drawings that can reach this step can be called prototype drawings, such as a conveyor belt that can automatically transport materials, a mechanical arm that is rough and unaesthetic but can grab a fixed position in front of him, etc., in which Solomon also followed Elder Bolt and other dwarves to kill brain cells, described some things he had seen in his previous life, and then asked the dwarves to see if they could be realized according to these descriptions.

Of course, it is more about some machine tools and equipment, which are the difficulties, and Solomon often only points out on the process station drawings whether it is possible to replace manual operation with a machine at this location, or that a part needs to be produced by machinery, and then let different dwarven craftsmen scratch the scalp.

He can't design and manufacture these machines and equipment, he just hopes from the perspective of capital, if something is achieved in a certain position, he can quickly increase the output, because it is possible that in the whole process, the output of the parts that need to be produced in this process is low, the overall output cannot be increased, or the production cost can be reduced.

This stage is actually wonderful for the dwarven craftsmen, because they can imagine only according to the mechanical principles and physical laws, to design the machine tools used to make parts, to design the basic parts of the production line, without considering whether the material is available, without considering the cost, without considering whether the complex process can be completed, and even if a part of the design cannot form a clear mechanical structure for the time being, then only write a description of the purpose that needs to be achieved.

The resulting drawings are called basemaps, and basemaps show that the dwarves were able to find a way to solve the problem, at least in terms of design principles.

Once the base map is out, Solomon asks the dwarves to try to build it, and that's when the craftsmen's painful moment begins. Because he can draw such a picture, but there are too many reasons why he can't make it, the materials that can be found are not qualified, or a certain structure in it can be designed, but he can't actually build it, because the required precision is too high, the structure is too complex, or to complete this part, he needs to occupy an area as large as a palace, which cannot be realized, and so on.

At this point, it's the mage's turn to come into play, and try to replace the parts that can be designed but can't be achieved with the current mechanical level, and produce a similar effect, again regardless of the cost.

For example, a certain machine tool designed by the dwarven craftsmen, because of the lack of updated ideas and structural design, they can only clumsily lengthen the conduction link to achieve the purpose, but the extension of the connecting rod will cause cumulative error, and it is easy to break, and it will not meet the design requirements if it is not lengthened; , so that the next part of the machine can form a complete mechanical movement, such a design magic circle is relatively simple, but because of the use of magic instead of steam power, more mana is required.

The second set of solutions does not change the original mechanical structure, nor does it lengthen the connecting rod, but only assists in meeting the original design requirements. Extend the link with a secondary magic pattern. The magic array has the function of monitoring strength and reacting based on the results of monitoring. That is, when the power of the connecting rod is insufficient, it will be immediately monitored by the magic array and make up for it, so as to meet the design requirements; such a design is based on steam power in the source force, supplemented by magic power, so the consumption of magic power is lower (because it is only supplemented), but due to the need for monitoring function, the texture design of the magic array is far more complex than the first one.

Similar to problem-solving, when each of them is solved in a way that is either magical or mechanical or both of them help each other. A working machine tool or mechanical equipment is barely usable, and the part of the drawing that is formed is called a prototype drawing.

But the prototype diagram is certainly not what Solomon wants, the prototype diagram represents that it can already be used according to the diagram, but at this time the overall structure and cost must be considered.

First of all, there is the problem of the overall structure, as can be seen from the principle of the prototype diagram above, it is actually the part that cannot be completed by the machine, which is improved or replaced by the perspective of magic.

This world is a fantasy world, and the reason why it could not be applied on a large scale before was the problem of source power, but burning black rock can get both steam power to provide source power for machinery and magic power to provide source power for magic arrays. It has been possible to solve some of the source force problems, forming the basis for the mutual improvement of magic and machinery.

But. The most direct restriction is that if too many machine tools or processes on the production line need to be supplemented and perfected with magic arrays, then is the magic power extracted by the steam furnace when burning black rock is enough to maintain so many magic arrays per unit of time?

This is not considered in the prototype drawing, and it is based on the assumption that the magic peak can be fully satisfied, but the actual situation is certainly not, so a single process position or each machine tool can be satisfied when it moves individually, which does not mean that the entire production line can run smoothly.

To solve this problem, you can increase the burning of black rock, but it is certainly not infinitely increased, so at the same time, you must also consider optimizing the magic array, which is really not possible, first meet the basic functions, to reduce the demand for source power of the magic array, so as to limit the upper limit of the peak mana.

The second is the issue of cost, even if the entire production line can be controlled within the upper limit of the peak mana, there is still a process of continuous improvement, and in the process, it needs to be tried by the dwarves and magicians of the mechanical institute.

No matter which party tries to replace the original part with a new mechanical design or magic array optimization, it is necessary to compare the comprehensive cost to see which change is easier, more stable, and requires lower resource consumption, which also promotes the development of mechanical civilization.

However, the cost problem is not the basic goal of Solomon for the time being, this is a long process, industrial improvement, is the process of continuous improvement of processes, standards, production processes, support for this improvement is the progress of technology, the discovery of new energy, and the innovation of management.

Solomon's top priority now is to solve the problem of whether there is something or not, as long as the construction of the magic guide production line can be completed, he will invest in the construction of such a factory, even if it is more expensive, but such an arsenal can produce the capacity that sweeps the current Qiē manual workshop, and the quality is much more stable.

As long as Asturias and other countries start to use firearms, then Solomon will be able to take the lead in this future military industry, making it difficult for others to compete with him in the short term, and with the increase in production capacity and the improvement of process design, the unit cost will gradually decrease, and the profit will far exceed that of the hand workshop.

Solomon had prepared for this, and the Rose Bank had invited him to take a stake in him with more certainty, and his capital would be more abundant.

The second major project of the Magic Research Institute, the research of the source force gun, has also made progress, as mentioned earlier, there are disagreements, and even the dwarves have jumped out to join in the fun, and they want to apply for funds and the research of the third direction of the real yàn room.

But in essence, Cecilia and Ulysses only disagree on a certain direction, but they have achieved a certain breakthrough in the high-level source power gun, that is, using the superimposed magic circle to increase the magic pattern, so as to engrave the magic pattern of some high-level spells on the small area of the magazine.

Although it is not possible to engrave most high-level spells yet, because it is also a high-level spell, the magic patterns engraved on the seventh and ninth orders are definitely different, and even the two spells of the same seventh order have different complexity. The stacking circle is not a panacea, it only comes from the inspiration of the legendary mage's spell stacking, which is difficult for high-level mages to do, but can be partially realized through the guò magic array.

However, it can be regarded as a breakthrough, since this direction is successful, mages can conduct targeted research on how to optimize and improve the effect of stacking magic circles, reduce unnecessary magic patterns, and save new use area, which can be used to engrave new magic patterns and reduce the volume of the source gun, making it close to the size of ordinary firearms.

It's also a long-term process, but the results are already imaginable, it just takes time.

The biggest problem with the source power gun is material, it needs magic crystals or high-energy magic crystals, in the past, magic crystals and high-energy magic crystals were only used to maintain the dimensional teleportation channel, although the use of black rock alleviated the consumption of magic crystals, but to support the source power gun, it can only achieve a small amount of production.

In the time leading up to the wedding, Solomon focused heavily on the two important points he wanted to control, and took a cautious stance on the struggle between the new king and the old nobles.

As long as these two places are smooth, it is impossible for anyone to ignore him, not to mention that he has other helpers. (To be continued......)
