Zhu Yiwei's words made Polu not know how to answer for a while - the concept of interchangeable parts and even standardization was so deep-rooted in Polu's mind that he didn't even think about the fact that there were still other things in this world.
Some people have different ideas.
He pinched his eyebrows and thought for a while before speaking: "If this idea is used to create a golem, then the maker should be a very high-level maker."
"The golem itself must be made by a very high-level maker. This thing is definitely not something that anyone can make."
"..."
Things must be made by high-level manufacturers, so they maintain exquisite manual production, so each product is assembled by hand. While manual assembly can successfully adapt, it will naturally bring about the root cause of low consistency——
This logic seems impeccable at first glance?
It took him a while to react.
"No, no, I can't fall into this Japanese logic. If I do this, I will be dragged into the same train of thought as them. I have to think again, think again."
He motioned Zhu Yiwei to sit down, and then fell into his inner world. After a while, he raised his head and said to Zhu Yiwei who turned her head and yawned: "If we say that we can have an endless supply of these parts,
No matter what part is damaged, you only need to replace it with new parts and it will be able to operate normally immediately. Do you think that’s good?”
"Of course that's good, but how do you plan to achieve it?"
Zhu Yiwei bluntly pointed out the core of the problem: "Of course we can see the benefits of doing this, but how to do it? Shaping such a part, carving so many magic circles in such a small place at one go, connecting so many
With multiple pipelines, there can be no mistakes at all, and everything is not an easy task. If you are not a master, you are not qualified to even try such a delicate and complicated operation, let alone control it with the accuracy you want."
"Yes, if you want to reduce the difficulty of production, this is not only a question of ideas, but more importantly, a question of supporting the platform. But no matter what, this thing cannot be repaired like this. If it continues to be repaired like this, there will be nothing the archmages can do.
, we can’t do it either. We have to jump out of this logic.”
Polu had already sentenced the attempt to repair these golems to death in his mind - repairing this pile of golems with different structures and sizes would be impossible even if all the apprentices were made bald.
After hundreds of years of accumulation, how can it be repaired easily? Not to mention that many injuries require the creation of a new golem or a part of the body - if the damage can be repaired easily, then the mages should have repaired it long ago.
.
In the average person's opinion, repairing is more labor-intensive than building a new one, but this point of view must be based on the same principle of all equipment, and the experience of the previous equipment must be able to be borrowed from the next one - preferably it is effortless.
Ready-to-use accessories.
Otherwise, you have to spend a lot of energy to understand the principle of the equipment every time you take a break, and at the same time, you have to transform the parts into the perfect size every time, and then the difficulty will be over!
There were a lot of awkward words in this paragraph, and phrases made up by Bo Lusheng, which made Zhu Yiwei frown: "What is a support platform?"
"It's the overall production level. There are no bottlenecks or difficulties in the manufacturing of each component, and the manufacturing process will naturally be endless. Production itself is a spiral from personalized customization to mass production and then to personalization. Think about it.
To reduce the difficulty of producing a product, there must be a major breakthrough that can raise the level of the production support platform. This is the so-called industrial base."
"Then how do you plan to break out of this logic?"
"We talked privately. I think we should repair the four golems here first, and then build a batch of lower-level golems when we understand some key points. It doesn't matter if they don't have the original golems to fight. Let them
First wake up from that dark warehouse and take a walk? Then we can work together to develop a golem that balances cost and performance. Wouldn’t it be beautiful?”
At this point, he suddenly slapped his thigh:
"By the way, just like our stamped armor, although it cannot provide the wearer with a perfect experience, nor can it cover users with special body types. But it is better than letting them run naked onto the battlefield. The same is true for the golem, I think
We may not be able to provide a golem with performance comparable to the Archmage for a while, but at least it can be replaced if it breaks without having to wait in the repair queue."
"No matter what, at least letting them walk freely is better than being stuck in this black hole."
Zhu Yiwei thought for a while and nodded: "I can understand this idea. Have you discussed it with your teacher?"
"No, I just thought about it."
"Then can I tell my teacher?"
"Hmm... Why don't you test it out and don't tell me all at once? I'm worried that they won't be able to accept this idea of creating a low-performance golem."
Zhu Yiwei frowned: "So the crux of the problem is here. There is no way to make a golem below the Archmage. As for making the golem of this level in our warehouse, it is still the kind of golem you mentioned that sounds like an armored body.
Like, it doesn’t work.”
Polu scratched his head: "I still don't understand what the difficulty is? Is it the material? The magic circle? Or the shaping? Or the energy?"
"We need pure steel, a lot of steel. It's okay. With your furnaces, steel is no longer a problem. It's just that purification is a little labor-intensive."
"Pure steel? You haven't sent anyone to buy that thing recently. There are a lot of them in the warehouse."
"...Next question. How to shape it? This thing is not really an armor shell. It has a skeleton. How do you plan to connect it? How do you make the joint part shape in one go?"
"No need to mold it all at once."
"ah?"
"I said, it doesn't need to be formed in one go."
Bolu, who has already observed most of the parts, is confident: "I know how to make parts similar to this model of golem through decomposition steps. And I plan to change it. Wouldn't it be better to use a skeleton type? It doesn't require rockets.
Flying Fist, why do you use a method that can separate the joints? Wait, this idea is quite good, record it first. As for the outer shell of the skeleton, just use the armor as the outer shell and stamp it directly."
"...The next question is, what do you plan to do with the magic circle? The positions of some magic circle cannot be seen directly and need to be engraved blindly."
"Why do we need to perform such a difficult operation? When designing, pay attention to the position of the magic circle, find a way to engrave it and then install it. Finally, connect the magic pipeline from the inside of the shell."
"Where's the energy?"
"This is the part I'm least sure about. I have no idea what level of energy they need."
"As long as they are awake, they are releasing force field-level energy. This is how they move."
Polu felt a headache: "Then how did they have enough before? Okay, they are burning crystals again. If it doesn't work, let them push a cart to install some crystals and plug in energy. At least they shouldn't need to push the cart when they don't need to fight.
?”
The huge problem was broken down into a small series of questions, each with an answer, or at least an idea. Zhu Yiwei suddenly found that each one seemed to have some seemingly feasible solutions, and she couldn't help but become a little optimistic.
