In the long-lost manager's office, Polu, Leah and Mr. Sweeto, who holds their current work contracts, are facing Caroline and Candice seriously. The two assistants are standing in front of several people tremblingly.
Luo Lin was so nervous that her face turned pale.
Biting her lip desperately, Candice grabbed the corner of her clothes hard and said in a calm tone, "We have been tested. We are all level 2 talents, so we will be trained as experimental assistants.
Those with higher talent levels will be bought by mages."
Even if you are talking to the boss, you don’t need to be so nervous, right? Poluchao asked Lia in a low voice: “What’s the reason for their reaction?
Leah glanced at Polu with a look that was hesitant to speak: "Now is not the time to talk about this issue."
Mr. Swito continued to speak: "I have an opportunity here that may change your life. Of course, you need to be willing. Your Excellency Polu now intends to recruit you to produce energy-gathering plates. You will be trained by standard alchemists.
Obtain a certain remuneration. Of course, for technical confidentiality purposes, personal freedom will be subject to certain restrictions. In exchange, your elders in the manor will
The first-term work contract will end immediately, and the liquidated damages will be borne by Mr. Polu. Before Mr. Polu agrees to your departure, you can only work in Mr. Polu's laboratory for a period of 10 to 20 years. Your Excellency Polu will
You will be judged by your performance. You can go out, but in order to protect your safety and not be arrested again, you must apply in advance when you go out and you must be accompanied by two bodyguards."
It seemed that this condition was much better than they expected. The two of them just looked at each other and answered in the affirmative. There were very few opportunities to receive extraordinary education, but the working conditions were no different. Soon, Irene handed over
After signing the contract that had been written on the parchment, the two of them quickly put their fingerprints on the contract. Irene handed them their previous work contracts: "Your status as a servant has been cancelled. Congratulations."
"
The two of them seemed to have not yet realized this fact, and took over the work contract in a daze. Polu waved his hand and asked them to go back to the laboratory first.
After Polu said goodbye to Svito and Irene, he walked to the laboratory, and Lia strolled over after him.
"What's that talent level they're talking about?"
"Haven't you ever tested it?" Leah's tone was very surprised: "There are testing points for magic vision in various places, and there are also roving ones."
Polu recalled, "The teacher seemed to have tested me, but he didn't tell me the level or anything."
"Then let me give you a rough explanation. Level 0, ordinary people, cannot see any ordinary concentration of magic power. Level 1, they can see a faint halo but cannot see the shape of the magic power clearly. Level 2, they can see the magic power clearly.
Shape structure, level 3, they can clearly see the energy levels of magic power, level 4, magic power is like a physical existence to them, level 5, they are born with the ability to control magic power at will, almost a legendary destiny."
"So, I might be at level three? If magic looks like a physical existence, will there be a lot of trouble in life?" Bolu touched his chin.
"Yes, if you can see things that others can't see, in some ignorant little places, you will be regarded as a devil, a madman or something, and you will either be locked up or burned to death. So the tour test on the Mage Island
Just to find this group of people as much as possible." Bolu touched his head, this world was really scary before, wasn't it?
"Leah, don't you have much work to do recently?"
"I'm busy. I work hard every day. Why do you think I'm annoying? Don't forget that my job is to supervise the work. It's my job to watch you work!" Leah pointed at Polu.
"No, I feel like I haven't seen you seriously doing knight training for a long time. I didn't even think of such a thing until I saw the training ground."
"Oh, um, I've been busy lately and haven't trained, and after a long period of training, it's very necessary to give your body a recovery period!"
"This reason is not very good, but I don't dare to refute it." Bolu thought secretly, but did not dare to refute it, and reached out to push open the door of the laboratory.
Caroline and Candice were cleaning the laboratory. When they saw the two people pushing the door open, they quickly saluted: "Your Excellency."
Bolu waved his hand, "Don't call me your Excellency anymore, call me boss!"
"What's your name? I'm not satisfied with calling you Your Excellency." Leah glanced at Polu. "It's weird."
Recalling the past, Polu became melancholy. Becoming a noble was not Polu's dream, becoming a boss was! He didn't expect to take the first step in such a place.
"Boss!" The two assistants saluted the boss again.
"Okay, come on, have you enlightened your magic power? Enlighten it? Can you guide the magic circle to activate the magic equipment? That's okay, it won't be too laborious. I'm also worried that I have to teach it from scratch, which will be troublesome. So you guys
Have you ever learned magic shaping, no? Wait a minute."
Polu looked around and carved the basic content of magic shaping on a spare steel plate in the corner of the laboratory. "You guys take a look first. This thing is actually a magic circle that needs to be guided. It will be dedicated to it for the past two days.
Practice this and come to me after you have mastered this step. I will teach you how to make energy-concentrating boards. Once you learn it, you can specialize in making this kind of energy-concentrating substrates. The demand has been huge recently."
"Okay, boss."
"You go ahead." The two men carried the steel plate and left.
"Thank you for thinking of engraving something on the steel plate."
"Hey, if you still have to use it, it's convenient. It's not easy to break. Go to the second floor and I'll show you something."
Speaking of the room in the manager's office, Polu only went there once when he showed him the way, and then he never went there at all. He spent all his time in the laboratory and on the construction site. The long table between the bookshelves has been
It became the place where Polu worked.
When Lia walked up from downstairs, she noticed something placed on the long table: a sand table. Of course, this was just a planning model, not very refined, but the sand table method still made Lia feel a little novel.
"Did you run away from the meeting just flipping this thing?"
"Yes, I spent a long time figuring out the order of placing the stoves at night." Bolu straightened a skewed model in the sand table.
"What are these? Why are there so many parts? Tell me about them?"
"Okay." Explaining clearly what needs to be done and satisfying the supervisor at the same time is naturally the only way to make work easier.
"Look here, this is the mine. This is the furnace. Because the No. 0 experimental furnace occupies a really large area, there is not enough area between Hongshan Town and the mine, so it had to be placed between the manor and the town. Now it is
Here, no, it’s just this small upright wooden block. Yes, it’s only so big. At present, the ore is transported out of the mine by horse-drawn carriages. From this road, the line marked is the road, yes, that’s it
shipped out.
The current width of the streets is naturally formed, which is just enough if everything remains unchanged. If our furnace is officially put into operation, the daily transportation volume will probably double. Relying on the current horse-drawn carriages to transport ore from such a narrow dirt road to us, I am afraid that
It’s not realistic. I don’t want to kill the horse. If I build a few more furnaces, the demand will only increase, and by then I’m afraid I’ll be nicknamed the Horse Eater.”
"What to do? The current plan is to first ensure that enough ore is transported every day, and a reliable transportation line is needed. The road surface, vehicles, and power will all have to be redesigned. I will also consider the locations and supporting facilities of several furnaces.
Already."
"From here, I plan to build a 3-kilometer new transportation line directly into this area. Yes, this area covered with sand is a planned production area."
"With so many stoves, do we need so much iron?" Leah didn't understand this.
"Why can't it be used?" Polu knew very well how important the role steel would play. "I still think 6 furnaces are not enough. This area, the best location, I will reserve for the next batch of larger furnaces.
In the future, we will produce thousands or tens of thousands of tons of steel a day. Things that cannot use steel now can be used. Do you know how many restrictions caused by materials can be lifted!"
"I don't know." Leah was very sincere. The ball of cotton also held back Bolu's words.
"Forget it, look at this first, our future production method, the iron ore will go in here, be crushed here, mixed with other ingredients, enter the furnace from here, and then the molten iron will not be cast into iron ingots first, but will go directly here
, directly smelted into steel. After the steel is smelted, it will be turned into steel ingots here. I plan to build an ingot casting machine that does not require a mold. If I rely on natural cooling, this place will be as hot as hell."
"The steel ingots enter the processing plant from here and are processed into various standard shapes. By then, the entire world will have changed because of our products!"
"That's very good, so where is the implementation now?" Leah asked a heart-wrenching question.
"..." Polu showed a helpless expression, "The first step has not been completed yet. Primitive accumulation is too difficult."
