336, Repeating old tricks, assembly line casting of military tactics
Zhou Shu didn’t take Ge Changlong’s promise seriously at all.
He never thought that he would become the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
He has no interest in the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
But when he said he would give Ge Changlong a surprise, he was not joking with Ge Changlong.
Tongguan City is a battleground for Zhou Shu. At least for now, Zhou Shu does not want Tongguan City to fall.
Helping Ge Changlong to defend Tongguan City is what must be done.
Furthermore, Tongguan City is now fighting against the plague of spiritual insects. If the soldiers in Tongguan City can be equipped with the magic weapons he forged, these people will naturally become his workers, and by then, he will be able to reap the benefits of magic.
Rewards from the Soldier Atlas.
This is a rare opportunity to become stronger, and Zhou Shu naturally does not want to miss it.
Anyway, now that the identity of the disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion is standing in front of him, even if Zhou Shu does something incredible, no one will doubt anything.
Just like Ge Changlong, he made it up in his own brain.
"This tiger-winged sword is very skillfully crafted. It is indeed a rare magic weapon."
In the Wu Mansion, Jin Kui held a knife in his hand. After looking at it carefully, he nodded in approval.
"You are truly worthy of being the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master. If you can create the Tiger Wing Sword on your own, you have already entered the palace. Even in the Tiangong Pavilion, you can stand alone. If you put it outside, you are enough to start a sect."
Jin Kui looked at Zhou Shu, with a flash of envy in his eyes.
He is now basically certain that Wu Zongquan is the person the pavilion master has prepared for him to inherit the mantle. As long as Wu Zongquan can grow up, he will definitely become the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
It's ridiculous that they, the deputy cabinet masters, are fighting to the death to become the master of the cabinet, but they don't know that the master of the cabinet has no intention of selecting a successor from among them. He has already found another way to find another successor.
Although Jin Kui was a little disappointed, he also admired the pavilion master in his heart.
As he came into contact with Wu Zongquan, he felt more and more that Wu Zongquan was not as talented as the pavilion master in his youth.
Perhaps only such a genius is qualified to take over the position of the head of Tiangong Pavilion.
Thinking of this, Jin Kui's desire to compete has dimmed a lot. Now he has changed his mind and is determined to fully assist Wu Zongquan.
If Wu Zongquan can ascend to the position of Pavilion Master in the future, then he will be regarded as a founding hero of the country. The eight deputy Pavilion Masters, how can he be in the first place?
After changing his mind, Jin Kui's attitude towards Zhou Shu naturally changed.
"I'm going to batch cast the Tiger Wing Swords. What do you think, Deputy Pavilion Master Jin?"
Zhou Shu looked at Jin Kui and smiled.
"Batch casting?"
Jin Kui pondered for a moment. Although he didn't understand the meaning of batch, he could guess roughly.
"If I have enough time, I can transfer a few weapon-casting divisions from Tiangong Pavilion, but now the insect plague may break out at any time, and I'm afraid I won't have enough time."
Since Jin Kui has decided to support Zhou Shu's rise to power, he will naturally have no reservations.
As the deputy master of the pavilion, it is still possible to dispatch a few weapon-casting divisions to Tongguan City to help.
However, the headquarters of Tiangong Pavilion is very far away from Tongguan City. It will take at least several years to come back and forth. By the time Tiangong Pavilion's weapon-casting division arrives, the day lilies will be cold.
"There is no need to draw weapons-casting divisions from Tiangong Pavilion."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "You and I are enough."
"Although there are only two of us weapon masters in Tongguan City, there are many apprentices. Ma Wanli and Xue Liang can both use them."
"Ma Wanli and Xue Liang haven't even crossed the threshold of the art of weaponry, so what use can they have?"
Jin Kui said disdainfully.
Weaponsmiths in this world all have this temperament. They treat people who are not weaponsmiths with a condescending feeling.
Even though Jin Kui had a soft attitude towards Zhou Shu, it was because in his eyes, Zhou Shu was the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion, and Zhou Shu himself was also a weapons master.
Otherwise, Jin Kui would not have this attitude towards Zhou Shu.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, your idea is wrong." Zhou Shu said, "There are no useless people in this world, only people who are useless."
"It is true that their weapon-making skills have not yet come to the fore, but it does not mean that they cannot use them to their full potential."
"This is what I think. Although they can't cast magic weapons, they can still do it with a little training and help with the materials for casting weapons."
Zhou Shu talked in detail, but what he said was actually something he had verified before in Huaxia Pavilion.
In the assembly line method of casting weapons, each person is responsible for one step and performs his own duties. This saves the tedious time of processing the materials for casting soldiers, and the speed of casting soldiers can naturally be greatly improved.
Although Ma Wanli and Xue Liang could not catch the eye of Jin Kui, they had to say that they were much better than the apprentices of the Huaxia Pavilion Weapon Casting Department.
Apart from anything else, both of them have the cultivation level of Cave Heaven Realm, so there is absolutely no problem in handling some weapons-making materials.
"Huh?"
Jin Kui looked thoughtful as he listened to Zhou Shu's words.
He had never thought about the method mentioned by Zhou Shu. After all, in his eyes, if you are not a weapon maker, you are a slave and a waste.
But after all, he is an expert in making weapons. As soon as he heard Zhou Shu's description, he immediately knew that this method was feasible.
"If we are only responsible for the last step, we can indeed greatly reduce the time for casting soldiers."
Jin Kui pondered, "However, the requirements for the weapon caster are also very high. The weapon casting materials are not handled by oneself. The weapon caster needs to understand the weapon casting materials to a certain extent to be able to do it."
This method is feasible, but the requirements for the weapon caster and the apprentice are also very high. Without a very high level of tacit understanding, it is almost impossible to succeed.
"The requirements for the Weapon Master are naturally very high, but Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, do you doubt that you don't have the means?"
Zhou Shu said with a smile.
"If I deal with the weapon-making materials by myself now, it will take at least five days to cast a tiger-wing knife. But if someone helps me handle the weapon-making materials, I am confident that I can cast one in one or two hours.
Tiger Wing Knife comes out!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
"One or two hours to forge a tiger-wing knife?"
Jin Kui frowned, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"If Deputy Pavilion Master Jin doesn't believe it, we can give it a try."
Zhou Shu smiled calmly.
"Okay, let's give it a try. I'll personally handle the materials for making weapons for you first. I'd like to see what you're really capable of, brother Zongquan."
Jin Kui thought for a moment and then said.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, your weapon-casting skills are superb. You handle the weapon-casting materials, but you can't see the real advantages and disadvantages of my method. Since you want to try it, let Ma Wanli and Xue Liang try it."<
/p>
Zhou Shu said.
The assembly line casting method of war is not a secret. This method is easy to learn, so Zhou Shu does not care about letting Tiangong Pavilion learn this method.
In Zhou Shu's view, the art of forging weapons should not be complacent.
Everyone keeps their own little secrets and refuses to disclose them, so how can the art of forging weapons be improved?
If Zhou Shu said this, Jin Kui would naturally not object.
"My servants are all at your disposal. Let me see how effective this assembly line art of war is."
Jin Kui nodded and said.
Just do it, Zhou Shu immediately called Ma Wanli and Xue Liang in.
"Xue Liang, come and deposit these materials for making soldiers."
"You come and purify these——"
"Xue Wanli, you have learned some weapon-casting techniques. You are responsible for smelting these weapons-casting materials together..."
Zhou Shu arranged the work of each apprentice in an orderly manner.
He had practiced the assembly line military casting technique countless times when he was in the Great Xia Military Casting Department. Now that he is practicing the old technique again, he is naturally familiar with it.
Xue Liang and Ma Wanli were a little nervous at first, not knowing what Zhou Shu was going to do when he called them here, but after listening to Zhou Shu's instructions and explanation, they already knew what they were doing.
These things are not difficult.
Jin Kui did not speak, but kept silently observing Zhou Shu's actions.
The more he observed, the more frightened he became.
Experts will know if there is any as soon as they take action.
The assembly line art of war is very simple to say, it is just a matter of division of labor and collaboration, and everyone performs his or her own duties.
But actually doing it is not that easy.
Forging weapons is a continuous matter. Ordinary weapon-casting divisions may fail to forge weapons if they are disturbed by others, let alone multi-person cooperation?
This must decompose the entire soldier-casting process into countless steps. The nodes of each step must be strictly designed. Any slight deviation will be the result of casting failure.
Jin Kui asked himself that his skill in forging weapons was pretty good, but he did not dare to say that he would be able to break down the process of forging weapons.
This requires the weapon caster to have a thorough understanding of the casting process of a magic weapon
Now seeing Zhou Shu assigning tasks, Jin Kui has understood that Zhou Shu has indeed studied the casting process of the tiger-wing knife to the point of no further improvement.
He broke down the entire casting process almost perfectly. At least from Jin Kui's perspective, it was flawless. Even if he was asked to do it, he would never be able to do it better than Zhou Shu.
"The Pavilion Master is indeed the Pavilion Master."
Jin Kui said to himself.
He not only admired Zhou Shu, but also admired the master of Tiangong Pavilion. Only the master of Tiangong Pavilion could teach such a talent.
Jin Kui already believed 90% of Zhou Shu's assembly line military strategy. Even if this attempt failed, he felt that it was because the servants did not cooperate well, not because this method was not effective.
He has secretly made up his mind that after the matter in Tongguan City is resolved, he will return to Tiangong Pavilion and vigorously promote the assembly line art of war!
While Jin Kui was thinking wildly, Zhou Shu had already assigned the tasks.
The weapon-casting apprentices left behind by Master Mo are led by Xue Liang, and the weapon-casting apprentices left by Jin Kui are led by Ma Wanli.
The two lines simultaneously began to process the weapon-making materials according to Zhou Shu's disassembly steps.
Zhou Shu broke down the entire soldier-making process very carefully, so that everyone only had to do a few things.
Although the weapon-making skills of these weapon-making apprentices are not very good, they still have no problem doing such a small amount of work.
Jin Kui watched as each weapon-making material was properly processed and handed over to the next person. After the next person processed it, the circulation continued.
Two kinds of soldier-casting materials are fused, four kinds of soldier-casting materials are fused...
Jin Kui kept exclamating in his heart. He did not expect that the apprentice who was just a waste in his eyes could actually achieve this level.
This was the first time for so many people to collaborate, and although the whole process was not very smooth, no mistakes were made at all.
If he hadn't kept these apprentices with him, Jin Kui suspected that they would have practiced countless times in private.
But in fact, this is indeed the first time they have cooperated.
By this time, even if he hasn't seen the results yet, Jin Kui already knows that this assembly line military strategy is effective!
Not only was Jin Kui shocked, but the hearts of the weapon-making apprentices were also filled with shock.
In fact, they are not very clear about what they are doing, but they know that this is their opportunity!
In this world, the art of forging weapons is very precious, and ordinary people have no way to learn the art of forging weapons.
They are apprentices in name, but in fact they are no different from slaves. Whether they can learn the art of forging weapons depends on luck.
Even Ma Wanli, a disciple of Jin Kui in name only, the work he usually does is no different from that of a slave.
Whether Jin Kui will teach him the real art of forging weapons is uncertain.
But now, Zhou Shu and Jin Kui are willing to give them the opportunity to contact the soldiers, which makes everyone feel ecstatic.
Everyone has one idea, that is, they must perform well. Only if they perform well enough can they fall into the eyes of the two weapon makers and have the opportunity to become a weapon maker like them!
Under this thought, everyone completed their tasks quickly. As a result, the whole process was completed faster than Zhou Shu expected.
Seeing a group of processed soldier-making materials being passed to his hands, Zhou Shu smiled slightly, looked at Jin Kui and said, "Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, you can start the timer, keep an eye on it."
Zhou Shu made secrets with both hands, and the mass of processed weapon-making materials deformed rapidly as if being rubbed by an invisible hand.
The appearance of a long knife soon appeared in front of everyone.
Without the tedious process, Zhou Shu only needs to complete the final work of forming the magic weapon. This is the most fundamental step in forging a weapon, and it is also the most difficult step, and it is also the step with the highest technical content.
The previous processes to purify the materials for casting weapons are just to control the heat, and the technical content is not high.
Now it is equivalent to Zhou Shu completing the most core steps by himself. The other unimportant steps can be left to others. It is not that others can't do it well!
Flames surged in the casting furnace, and a long knife quickly took shape, and a sound like a dragon's roar emanated from the blade.
Jin Kui's expression was serious, and he secretly timed it. From the time Zhou Shu got the batch of soldier-making materials, only more than half an hour had passed, and the long sword was already 90% complete!
Jin Kui's eyes shone brightly. It didn't take several hours to forge a magic weapon in one hour at such a speed. Even Jin Kui couldn't even imagine it at this speed.
"Buzz——"
At this moment, the tiger-wing knife in Zhou Shu's hand turned into a stream of light and landed in front of Jin Kui. He was done!
After a knife was completed, Zhou Shu did not stop at all and continued to grab the weapon-casting materials processed on another assembly line.
Two assembly lines process the casting materials for two Huben knives.
Jin Kui could see clearly that if it were just an assembly line, the speed at which the weapon-casting apprentices could process the materials for casting weapons would definitely not be able to keep up with Zhou Shu's casting speed.
But what if there are multiple pipelines?
Then the weapon-casting division will be able to continuously obtain processed weapon-casting materials, and then continue to cast magic weapons.
Jin Kui finally understood why Zhou Shu used two assembly lines to demonstrate.
The biggest effect of the assembly line casting method lies in the batch size.
Only through wholesale and retail can its advantages be revealed!
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Looking at the two tiger-wing knives in front of him, Jin Kui was so shocked that he could not speak.
"Regardless of the time it takes for the weapon-casting apprentice to process the materials, it only takes less than an hour to cast a tiger-wing sword. Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, what do you think?"
Zhou Shu said with a smile, "I think my casting speed can be improved a little bit."
"As long as there are more assembly lines, we can cast magic weapons on a large scale, one an hour, twelve hours a day. If we work hard, it's not a big problem to cast ten weapons. In this way, ten days will make a hundred weapons. You and I
If two people start working at the same time, double the number to two hundred."
Zhou Shu calculated, "And I think our speed will get faster and faster. There is still a lot of hope to collect 300 tiger-wing knives in ten days."
"Ten days, three hundred magic weapons?!"
Jin Kui took a breath of cold air. Even if he wanted to gather 300 magic weapons in Tiangong Pavilion, it would take at least a year to do it.
Now it only takes ten days! The key is that Jin Kui knows that it is really possible for him to do it!
The efficiency of these two people has increased by more than thirty times compared to the entire Tiangong Pavilion!
If this spreads out, I’m afraid no one will believe it!
Jin Kui can imagine how big a shock this assembly line military art will cause once it spreads to Tiangong Pavilion.
It’s unimaginable that these useless slaves can play such a role!
"If Ge Changlong knew this news, he would definitely go crazy with excitement."
Jin Kui murmured to himself.
Three hundred weapons in ten days, three thousand in one hundred days, and ten thousand in one year. In a few years, everyone in Tongguan City will be able to have a magic weapon!
What is that concept?
There are countless cities in the world, but there is no city that can equip each person with a magic weapon! Not a single one!
If Tongguan City really has a magic weapon at its disposal, then Tongguan City will immediately become one of the most powerful cities in the world. What worries will there be if there is only an insect infestation?
"Brother Zongquan, we seem to be creating a miracle."
Jin Kui murmured.
"Be more confident and delete the two words "like."
Zhou Shu smiled calmly and said, "We are just creating miracles!"
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, think about it. In the entire Tongguan City, everyone has a magic weapon that we forged with our own hands. What kind of sense of accomplishment is that? Everyone in the world has a magic weapon that we forged. What a sense of accomplishment.
What kind of sense of accomplishment is it?"
Zhou Shu's words made Jin Kui's blood boil. He hadn't had this feeling for a long time. Now, he even feels that he is hundreds of years younger and has found the goal of life again!
"Well said!"
Jin Kuidao said, "Let's give Ge Changlong a surprise first, and then give the whole world a surprise!"
