This is the biggest reason why Huang Chang insisted on receiving this "Seal Treasure Mirror" -- he was engaged in mechanical manufacturing in his last life. www.biquge.info In this Xianxia world, when monks mention talismans, they think of "utensils" or "weapons", but in Huang Chang's mind, the first concept that comes to mind is "machine", and the "production automation" that follows! And the characteristics of this "Seal Treasure Mirror" can help him give full play to his strengths.

Other monks make talismans, nothing more than make three or five pieces in their free time, give priority to meeting their own needs, and only take out the surplus to exchange for some spirit stones. Even those who specialize in the manufacture of talismans are completely hand-made, from the initial processing of raw materials to the post-processing, and even the most skilled craftsmen always take a day or two to make a talisman. Being able to make a dozen or twenty pieces in a row is already considered a high yield.

But here in Huang Chang, he uses a machine to process raw materials - his "machine tool" talisman is specially used to process ordinary materials into utensils, and then use the "Seal Treasure Mirror" magic weapon to make talismans. After a whole set of processes, the time and energy consumed are compressed to a minimum, and an average of less than an hour can produce a rune shield - and this manufacturing process is quite "automated": Huang Chang himself needs to put on raw wood blocks, use mana to open the machine, and finally use the "Seal Treasure Mirror" to transcribe the charm to spend more energy, other times only need to sit next to the side and take care of it a little, so as to avoid malfunctions when the machine is running, basically effortless, and the quality is definitely exactly the same.

Therefore, Huang Chang is often tired of cultivation and study now, and then comes to engage in production, and he has the right to relax. And even with such a casual nature, the daily output will not be less than four or five sides. Over time, that's a very terrifying figure -- industrial production, it's like this, the output is at least more than 100, and tens of thousands are not unusual.

Of course, Huang Chang can make such a set of things, but it is not a result in a short period of time. It took him two full years to design the talisman machine tool alone, and although he could design some of the key core parts himself, he couldn't build them due to lack of mana, and then he asked Master Changqingzi to take action to get it - Huang Chang was still very proud when he introduced this system to his master, and felt that he had created a precedent for a generation. If this set of equipment can be used in the sect's "Tiangong Hall", wouldn't even the production of magic weapons be greatly accelerated?

However, after listening carefully to his explanation and studying the drawings he had made, Changqingzi just laughed, patted him on the head, and said, "You kid has a lot of ideas," and then let him go back. Later, when we met again, they only gave him the core of the equipment he asked to help make, but they didn't have much to say about the system itself.

Huang Chang was naturally very disappointed, after all, he was young and vigorous, and after designing this set of unique talisman machine tools in the entire immortal cultivation world, he felt that he should bring a new concept to this world. Even if you can't completely change this entire immortal cultivation realm, at least it's no problem to make a big change in West Kunlun Mountain. Unexpectedly, he was so despised that he didn't even have an evaluation.

Later, Changqingzi intentionally or unintentionally talked to him about the anecdote of Tianjizi, who was known as "the first person in the world to refine weapons" in the sect back then, that is, the maker of the "Seal Talisman Treasure Mirror". It is said that he is smart and ingenious and unparalleled in the world, and his cultivation talent is also unparalleled, and his backer is the world's first sect, Xi Kunlun, and it stands to reason that he is very promising to become a Yuanying Great Monk. But it was because he was too addicted to the art of refining weapons that he delayed his own cultivation progress, and finally his life realm was stuck in the Jindan period. Although the sect tried its best to prolong his life, he also "only" lived for more than 700 years before he was reincarnated, and his subsequent reincarnation was never found, which made people feel depressed.

Huang Chang could naturally hear the meaning of the persuasion in the master's words, although it was not quite consistent with his philosophy, he must be respectful and teachable. And later, Changqingzi found an opportunity to arrange for him to visit the "Tiangongtang" once, which opened his eyes, and Huang Chang found that his idea was really a little biased - modern large-scale industrial production pays attention to large quantities and consistency, while the refining of immortal magic weapons is just the opposite, each magic weapon is almost unique, and can only be produced manually.

The reason is simple - the rarity of the raw materials, the use of a variety of rare materials to make ritual vessels, and the acquisition of those materials depends largely on luck. An excellent alchemist does not mean that I am good at what to make, so what materials need to be provided, but can flexibly mix and match according to the materials at hand, use magic circle charms and other means to give full play to its physical properties, and what the characteristics of the final product are, sometimes even he himself is not sure.

The types of raw materials that can be used to refine ritual tools are even more varied: jade, metal, wood, animal fur, bones, teeth, and ...... These are pretty ordinary. Even strange flames, water droplets, and even a certain beam of light, as well as demons, ghosts, beasts, and other void things can be used as raw materials for magic weapons, how can these things be processed by machines?

Therefore, Huang Chang's idea of "large-scale" and "automation" is not bad for the manufacture and production of ordinary items, and it can barely make do with the base material of the embryo of the talisman, but it is really not compatible with the refining of magic weapons. Although Huang Chang's machine tool has an excellent design, drilling, grinding, cutting, sawing, planing, milling and other functions are quite complete, and can process items very exquisitely, but compared with those real refining masters...... Huang Chang saw a master in the "Tiangongtang" processing a ball of metal: without seeing what tools he used, he let the metal hover in front of him, and spit out a flame from his mouth to melt and refine it. Then, just closing his eyes and meditating, the liquid metal automatically changed shape according to his thoughts, changing into a very strange and strange shape......

At that time, Huang Chang knew that there was something wrong with his thinking when he saw this posture - the characteristic of the machine is to use rigidity and stability to make up for the negligence and deviation that may occur in manpower, but in this Xianxia world where the power of the monk is almost omnipotent, it seems impossible to make the machine reach this level. And his family knows his own business - although his machine looks perfect, in fact, the best range of work is limited to wood, if it is working with metal or some hard stone, the material strength of the drill bit and the knife may be unbearable.

In fact, even when processing some special hardwoods, he still has to use sharp gold charms to strengthen the knives or drill bits in advance, otherwise it won't take long to regrind or replace them - after all, Huang Chang is still only a blue-clothed disciple now, and he can't get too high-grade materials. What's more, the benefits that the disciples of Xi Kunlun can enjoy are very good, if he can really get that kind of thing, he will still hand it over to the sect, and it will be more cost-effective to spend some door skills and ask the sect's weapon master to process it into magic weapons or divine blades on his behalf.
