The biggest problem left is the production of firearms, and now there are dozens of large and small workshops in Asturias, but the speed of hand-making firecrackers and bullets is not satisfactory to Solomon, mainly because the yield rate is low. Before, whether it was a good product or a bad product, it was sold to the natives and orcs in the civil war that were urgently needed by the Fadel plane, and it didn't hurt to pit them, but Solomon's own legion used it needed strict quality control, otherwise it would be fatal because of the failure of the fire gun quality guide zhì battle at a critical time.

Although every workshop owner also paid to hire a dwarven craftsman to guide him in order to make a fortune, when the Asturias legions had the need to install firearms, the problem of low yield rate became apparent, and with the improvement of firearms, the manufacturing requirements also increased, and the corresponding gunpowder and bullets were also changing, in order to pursue higher lethality, which was more troublesome and dangerous for the manufacturer.

To solve these problems and improve the yield rate, it is necessary to build a production line that Solomon previously envisioned, and it is an automated or semi-automated production line, to improve manufacturing efficiency.

But this is much more difficult than making the firebolt itself, because the manufacture of a single firebolt is not a great thing, it can be done by hand, and many dwarven craftsmen can complete the whole process in one stop, but the problem is that the output cannot be increased, and the mental state of the creature will also affect the quality of the completion.

The miniaturization of the steam blast furnace that produced both mechanical power and magic refining will be a technical sign of the magic industry, but the model and management will be the mark of mass production under the premise of achieving a certain quality assurance.

The purpose of industrialization is to enable the rapid production of commodities with a certain range of quality assurance, so as to maximize the abundant supply of commodities.

The construction of a production line is almost the collective embodiment of the above technology, mode and management.

Since the establishment of the Magic Guidance Research Institute. One of the two major projects that Solomon directed was the construction of a production line. The other is the research of the source power gun. To achieve high-level spells and even legendary spell effects on the Source Gun.

The latter, during Edward's lifetime, was very interested, and not only was it immediately listed as a major project of the Magic Academy, but for this purpose a special fund was allocated from the military budget, and it was made clear that if there was a shortfall, the royal family was willing to fund it from the inner treasury, and that research would be produced in the production line. The interest of the royal family was not so great, so Solomon had to pay for it himself.

By the way, the model of the Magic Research Institute here, because it was first established, Solomon was only roughly temporarily divided into the Arcane Magic Research Institute, the Ancient Magic and Magic Research Institute, the Machinery Institute and the supporting administrative department and a military force dedicated to serving the Institute, this force can only be taken care of by the secret guard and the squadron drawn from the Guards Legion for the time being, and in the future, Solomon intends to replace it with the strength of this legion in his hands.

As the name suggests, the Arcane Wizard Research Institute is the direction that Solomon hopes that the magicians in it can combine and develop from the theory and foundation of the existing magic system with machinery, while the Ancient Magic Wizard Research Institute hopes to find inspiration from ancient magic. The machine station has sent some excellent dwarven craftsmen to come in, and they will serve good wine and meat. The main task of these masters is, firstly, to cooperate with the research of the first two institutes, and secondly, to carry out separate research on machinery and casting.

Among the three institutes, the Arcane Research Institute is the largest in scale and the largest number of participants, followed by the Machinery Institute, but most of them are dwarven craftsmen, and there are quite few Terran craftsmen;

As long as the project can be successfully established, you are eligible to request the allocation of the real yàn room in the name of the institute, and even build a magical real room that meets your requirements for you, and then continue to provide you with the expected funds and resources.

This is the dream of every magic-minded mage, who was willing to serve the country or the power in the past, and was willing to sell their labor to earn Mithril coinage, in exchange for resources to conduct various research, although the purpose of research was to improve themselves, and some were simply research madmen.

The Magic Guild used to provide a relatively free and friendly platform for mages, who could join the guild to exchange resources and exchange research results on a small scale, while Solomon's current Magic Research Institute and project establishment model provided another research model for mages, that is, to put forward a grand goal and direction, and then gather multiple mages to conduct joint research and obtain results. Mages can share the benefits or benefits of their results with the state, but at the same time they are subject to less liberal constraints, and the process of learning by different people is also a process of learning while studying.

The project is usually set up by the person in charge of the Magic Research Institute, and the mage who undertakes the project is usually a powerful high-level mage or a great alchemist, such as Cecilia who undertook the follow-up research of the Source Force Gun, and that Fernandez is the general person in charge of the project of the Magic Guide Production Line.

In addition to these two designated heavy projects, Solomon did not designate new small projects in the official name for the time being, because the manpower was not enough and it was necessary to gather and conquer these two projects. But this kind of collective research is not compulsory, you can choose which project to join according to your own interests, and with the permission of Cecilia and Fernandez, if you don't want to join, you can also propose a new project alone, but someone must be willing to invest, no investment, no funds, no real room, you can only receive a fixed salary in the Magic Research Institute, and you can only leave after the contract with Asturias expires.

Therefore, if you don't have a project yourself, and you don't have someone else's project to join, then staying in the Magic Research Institute is waiting to die. Now is the early stage, there is still a lack of more talent, Solomon does not plan to take the initiative to clean up, as for the future, when the manpower is sufficient, even the guaranteed salary will be canceled.

In terms of receiving research grants, Edward initially wanted to limit all research to the kingdom level, i.e., any research that only the kingdom could invest in. The results obtained are in addition to the participating magicians themselves. Much of the benefits of openness go to the Kingdom. But that's the case. Solomon's benefits were so small that he persuaded Edward on the grounds that the kingdom might not be able to meet the resources needed for the institute.

At that time, Asturias had only experienced a few wars, and Yugudral was not completely calm, although he occupied a new territory, and there were abundant resources to develop on it, but it would take time, and if the mages attracted by the kingdom to the study of magic guidance did not have sufficient resources, the project could not be carried out, and the research institute could fail.

So Edward had no choice but to agree in the end. In the research process, the Magic Institute will give priority to the projects designated by the Kingdom, and the projects designated by the Kingdom will be secondary, and the projects designated by the Kingdom can decide whether to be funded by the Kingdom in the research process, and if it is necessary to bring in external funds, it is necessary to obtain the King, the Cabinet, The joint approval of the person in charge of the Magic Guide Research Institute, as long as the main investor can be found for a non-designated project, it can also be launched within the research institute and apply for the actual yàn room, but the kingdom, as the provider of the research institute's land and supporting facilities, also naturally enjoys the right to use the results, for example, the magic guide production line project belongs to the heavy dà project proposed by Solomon, but the kingdom's interest in this is ranked after the source power gun, but after hearing that it can greatly increase the production of firecrackers. It was agreed that a portion of the resources had been allocated. But that's not enough if you want to go ahead. Solomon had to make up the post himself, but fortunately, Fernandez was also very interested in it, and was not only willing to be the general leader of the project, but also willing to invest resources.

Speaking of the magic guide production line, with the above resources, models and management support, and since the creation of the magic research institute, this is one of the only two heavy dà projects, gathering quite a lot of magicians, although many people still don't understand why to study this kind of thing, but just with Fernandez's participation, you can attract some magicians to participate, who doesn't want to get a legendary mage in the research process? This alone is enough to earn, not to mention that once it really bears fruit, there will be other benefits.

And Solomon also spends more energy on the magic guide production line than on the source gun, which is not the reason who is more important, but in the research of the source force gun, there is Cecilia here, and there is a great alchemist Ulysses who is not in tune with her, but it is enough to compete with her, Solomon can actually only do some directional construction proposed earlier, and the specific completion process requires the close cooperation of mages and alchemists, plus the dwarves of the mechanical institute.

The real completion of the production line includes the establishment of technology, standardization and process, which is not just to build a bunch of dynamic magic machinery.

In this regard, Solomon first set up the production process and the various parts of the magic guide production line according to the production process of the fire gun decomposed by the dwarven craftsmen.

Just as the loading and shooting of the firebolt can be broken down into dozens of standard actions, the firebolt can also be decomposed into various parts, and then the required raw materials and manufacturing steps are listed according to the different requirements of each component, which respectively require casting, forging, cutting and drilling, surface treatment, assembly, debugging and correction, inspection and other links.

In different links, the combination of magic and machinery is used to minimize manual operation.

Among them, there is an important factor that implements the whole process, which does not appear directly, but is hidden in all links, that is, standardization, which is the key to mass production, from the selection of raw materials to the final inspection, the ultimate goal of each process in the middle is to complete its own standardization to achieve the overall standardization.

Only by starting to do this can we understand how large and difficult it is to understand how large and difficult it is, during which someone quits and instead joins the research of the source power gun, where Cecilia and Ulysses also quarreled, and there is a disagreement on the manufacture of the source power gun, that is, there is a difference between the coexistence of multiple spell models supported by a composite magic array and the possibility of using different magic magazines to be loaded on the body of the gun to achieve different spell effects, the former uses a single magic magazine, and needs to build more complex magic patterns to support multiple magic effects, and too many magic patterns may lead to a decrease in the spell effect of the source power gun, while the latter does not have this problem, but it requires temporary loading and unloading of the magazine, which means that it does not have an immediate effect, and in high-intensity combat, this time may change the outcome.

In addition to this disagreement, the mages and the dwarves also quarreled, originally the dwarves were ordered to serve the production of the source gun, but they also joined the quarrel, because they believed that magic could be used purely to add greater lethality to the bullet, and give up other spell effects, such as using magic to provide greater kinetic energy when the bullet was fired, pursuing greater physical damage, and not needing those low-level spell damage, so the dwarves were also clamoring to apply for special funding from Solomon to join the research in this direction, and set up a separate research group for the source gun。

However, despite the difficulties of some people to withdraw, there are always people who join in the research of the magic guide production line, and the number of people is still increasing overall, and Solomon personally pays attention to and guides them.

After the process decomposition is completed, it is to be realized one by one. (To be continued......)
