Chapter 1311 Production line improvement plan, status of Magician
Tower of Time.
As the saying goes, "A little farewell is better than a new marriage." On the morning after Xia Duo came back, he reluctantly let go of Niya until the magic hour reminded him many times, and then the two of them got up together.
After breakfast, Niya went to the study room on the top floor to continue studying her communication mystery lock, while Shado came to the public floor, ready to take a look at the production of the Demon-Slaying Talisman.
Before coming, he had learned from Niya that the production line of the Demon-Slaying Amulet was located in Workshop 023 on the public floor, so this time he went straight there without giving the relevant personnel any time to prepare.
Opening the door, the most realistic production scene of the demon-slaying talisman production line appeared in front of Sha Duo——
Two parallel extending workbench intersect at the end of a section near the room. There are seven alchemy arrays distributed in specific positions on it, which can accommodate 21 people working at the same time.
However, there were only nearly thirty magic technicians that Xia Duo could see at this time, and the area near the workbench was crowded.
But the large number of people does not mean chaos. Beside the seven alchemy circles, there are actually only sixteen people who need to operate the circles to make the mithril components needed for the demon-slaying amulet.
Most of the others are assistants to these sixteen people, providing support with auxiliary lines or precise measurement spells; a few are later final assemblers and encapsulators.
In just a moment, Sha Duo saw the entire early production process of the Demon-Slaying Talisman - from the tiny mithril grains to the slender and exquisite mithril components, to the final prototype of the talisman encapsulated in pure silver after final assembly.
There is no link to the Magic Network. That's because only two days have passed since Xia Duo asked Aibo to bring back the mass production design plan. Counting today, it is only the third day.
Relevant personnel want to be familiar with the final production steps of the Demon-Slaying Talisman, which cannot be completed in a day or two.
"grown ups!"
"No need to be polite, you are busy with your business, I will just take a look."
Rejecting everyone's gifts, Xia Duo walked slowly behind the packager at the end of the production line, and three small wooden boxes without lids suddenly came into view.
The interior of the box was divided into 6*6 small grids. The first box was mostly filled. Xia Duo glanced at it and found that there were 29 small silver talismans lying quietly in the small grid.
He casually took two talismans and placed them in his palm. At first glance, they were two inconspicuous small silver medals with no decorations on them, which formed a sharp contrast with the other talismans.
But this is the characteristic of the Tower of Time——
Mass production!
It doesn't mean that you can't add patterns to it, but it will inevitably increase the process and work hours. For the task cycle of less than 20 days, it is still a bit too tight.
As long as the core functions are not lacking, those dwarves are encountering a war and have some thoughts to appreciate the artistic achievements on a small talisman!
The mass production plan for the Demon-Slaying Talisman was studied by Sha Duo in the projection plane, and he himself was very familiar with this plan.
At this moment, he had two prototype talismans in hand, and he began to try to connect them to the magic network, but unfortunately, of the two prototype talismans he took, only one was successfully connected, and the other ended in failure.
It's not that Shaduo is not familiar with the steps of connecting the Demon-Slaying Talisman to the Demonic Network, but that there is a problem with the Talisman itself, and its internal mithril components were deviated during the final assembly.
Unless he calculates a new link method in real time based on this deviation, each link will fail, which is the main reason why the yield rate cannot reach 100%.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo re-examined the current production situation of the production line, and after thinking about it for a while, he came up with areas that could be improved.
The current alchemy circle function of the Tower of Time is insufficient. Compared with the alchemy circle in [Projection Plane·Remnants of the Empire], there is still considerable room for improvement.
But for the production of the Demon-Slaying Talisman, this backwardness is not a problem. The key is that his magic technicians have misunderstandings about the alchemy circle.
Although the alchemy circle is set up for production, production does not mean only change and output. In fact, the entire process from raw materials to finished products belongs to production.
The mithril components can be shaped on the alchemy circle, and the final assembly is also possible.
The mithril components of the Demon-Slaying Talisman are far less sophisticated than the spell chips designed by Sha Duo in the projection plane, but they are still very small. During the process of completing the shaping process and final assembly, if there is a slight bump, it may have to be reworked.
In addition, during final assembly, it is not easy to assemble such small "parts".
What Xia Duo thought of was to equip the final assembly process with an alchemy array. Even if the current alchemy array of the Tower of Time lags behind, it still has a basic levitation field.
Performing final assembly in a zero-gravity environment will definitely minimize errors.
It's a pity that these magic technicians are not even official mages. If he had the spellcasting ability of those magic technicians among the empire's remnants, Shado would also have a comprehensive spell specially designed for the demon-slaying talisman.
This further reduces the impact of human factors.
In addition to the final assembly of the alchemy array, there is also the outflow process of mithril components after they have been shaped. It is best to be in a suspended field throughout the entire process.
Although this requires a certain degree of transformation of the production line, it is still very worthwhile for the increasing number of orders for the Demon Slayer Talisman that can be expected.
After only taking a rough look at the condition of the two talismans, Xia Duo did not immediately stop the production line. Anyway, these magic technicians would not work more than 4 hours a day at most, and it would not be too late to wait until they took a break to modify them.
…
After coming out of Workshop No. 023, Xia Duo turned around and went to the Magic Mechanic's Office on the same public floor. This place was mainly used for information collection and personnel training.
The production of the Demon-Slaying Talisman, in addition to the prototype of the Talisman, also has the most critical link of connecting the magic network. This part can be done by high-level mages, but the number of high-level mages in the Tower of Time is seriously insufficient.
Therefore, when projecting the plane, when Sha Duo proposed the project for Hacker and others, he requested that the process be broken down so that middle- and low-priced mages could also participate in the process of connecting the magic network and share part of the work for high-level mages.
After arriving at the magic mechanic's office, Ganal greeted him head-on and gave him a slight salute. Chateau and Ganal were both Niya's apprentices, so their relationship was much closer than that of ordinary mages.
The two chatted for a while, and then talked about the recent development of the Magical Mechanics Department——
"In terms of personnel, in addition to the 30 apprentice-level technicians who were initially rehired, a number of them were later rehired. In addition, some of the official apprentices of the Tower of Time have also registered as magic technicians.
"Currently, there are 112 apprentice-level technicians in the Magic Mechanic's Department, of which only 52 are full-time. The rest have production tasks and only come here occasionally.
“There are 9 junior technicians, 5 of whom are full-time and 4 part-time; there are 3 intermediate technicians, 2 of whom are full-time and 1 is part-time.
"As for production, in addition to the communication instruments, warning amulets, missile wands, and wood pulp paper that have been mass-produced before, the production line for the demon-slaying amulets is also being adjusted, and it should not delay Lord Harlan's order."
