Chapter 194 The Original Soul Guidance Device

The communication between Lan Nuo and Howard is very harmonious. This scientist's understanding of the world is still very simple, and he believes that there are various elements in the world.

It's not ridiculous, and it's not worth teasing, because those people are really trying to explain the world. They even try to explain that metals also contain phlogiston, because when metals react with acids, they release flammable gases.

He also believes that the process of metal rusting is the process of discarding phlogiston. In fact, it is only one step away from the chemistry of later generations, and it is not that unexplainable phenomena are simply pushed to phlogiston without thinking.

Lan Nuo did not directly refute Howard, but guided his thinking, and through the connection between experiments, let him discover the problems in his own system bit by bit.

The main reason is that Lan Nuo was a little bit psychologically shadowed when he saw the headshot god seat. He was afraid that if he threw out a theory that was beyond the times, the simple scientist in front of him would be unacceptable and headshot him on the spot.

In a world with extraordinary power, it is much more difficult to sum up the laws of nature that are not interfered by the extraordinary power. The ubiquitous soul power interferes with the results of every experiment, making it difficult to summarize the laws.

But after Lan Nuo's series of experiments, Howard also began to doubt his own elemental world theory, and in return, Howard taught Lan Nuo how to build a soul guide.

The production process of soul guides in this era is like engraving a large circuit board. Even if the workpiece is clamped with a clamp, the engraving process has high requirements on the stability of the wrist, because the smaller the rune is carved, The more functions the soul guide can hold, the more accurately the runes are engraved, and the more stable the soul guide will be.

"So, without many years of practice, it is difficult to make proficiently. Even I, the carving level is very average. If I have the opportunity, I should recruit several engravers who are good at micro-carving." Howard handed over a metal pipe For Lan Nuo, it is densely carved with runes the size of rice grains, and the neat lines connect the runes together, showing a different kind of beauty.

"Well... there are actually other engraving methods, I'll study it first!" Lan Nuo held the iron pipe, thinking about how to divide the runes carved on an iron pipe into different modules and integrate them into more regular modules .

Lan Nuo believes that the development direction of the modularization of soul guides is correct. Modularization is convenient for replacement, and it is also convenient for production.

The structure of the round tube is not easy to control, and the specifications are also difficult to be consistent. It is not suitable as a substrate for engraving. Lan Nuo prepared a square metal sheet as the basic unit, just like a circuit board.

Although the two-dimensional structure may limit the effectiveness of the soul guide, it is easy to produce, easy to establish a coordinate system, and describe the production process.

Don't think about CNC machine tools in this era, but the most basic machine tools that rely on shaking the handle to control the movement of workpieces can still be made.

But there is still a lot of front-end technology. First of all, you have to be able to carve out a long enough, uniform enough screw, and gears. This is even more troublesome than carving a whole soul guide. It is completely hand-made, hand-polished, and buckled out little by little. of.

Fortunately, Lan Nuo's physical fitness is strong and his strength is strong enough. When holding a carving knife and file, his hands will not shake at all, so he barely completed the production of the first machine tool.

During this time, Howard's studio has been moved out of the safe zone and out of the city. Every time Mina comes out of the prison camp, she can see Lan Nuo, covered in oil and metal debris, messing with Howard. It's not like that powerful young soul master on the day of landing.

"Your talent is so good, and you are so young, why bother to take care of the cheap business yourself?" Mina couldn't help admonishing Lan Nuo: "Soul masters still have to focus on cultivation."

Although alchemists have a high status in the city of sin, that is because they cannot use soul skills here. The difference between soul masters and ordinary people is nothing more than stronger strength and quicker reaction, but outside, alchemists are just doing chores for soul masters. The existence of existence, come and go as soon as you call.

Lan Nuo pondered for a moment, then replied: "I don't practice because I'm afraid you are too desperate, tsk tsk! Ten-year-old Soul Sect, have you heard of it? No, you haven't."

Mina: "..."

She seriously suspected that Lan Nuo was keen on running a cheap business because he was so cheap!
……

After a few days of busy work, besides the weird stares from others, there are naturally other gains. Lan Nuo obtained more accurate rulers, gears, screws, and motors removed from the electric car...

Combining these together, you get the most primitive machine tool. The drill bit of the machine tool is driven by an electric motor, and the rotation is relatively stable. The manually polished drill bit is like a needle tip, which can achieve the same effect as a carving knife.

The square workpiece is clamped on the machine tool. By turning the crank handle, the workpiece can be controlled to move up, down, left, and right, so that the possibility of hand shaking during the engraving process can be eliminated. According to the scale on the handle, each step can be controlled more precisely. The location of a rune.

This not only makes engraving easier, but also uses mathematical models to describe the relationship between different runes.

In just a few days, the two's understanding of soul tools has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the progress is comparable to the period of great discovery when the eight basic runes were discovered.

……

"Be gentle! Don't touch the rune chip! The blue-patterned gold is very soft, and the rune will disappear as soon as you squeeze it hard!" Howard looked anxiously at Lan Nuo holding a piece of it that was only one millimeter thick with tweezers. Thin slices, embedded in the metal slot reserved in the soul guide.

After buttoning the dust cover, Lan Nuo took the time to kick Howard into the tool box, like an overturned bastard who couldn't get up for a long time.

"Isn't it because your hands have been shaking all the time and crushed more than a dozen chips, I did it myself! You have the nerve to call me! Turn it on! This time it should work!" Lan Nuo inserted the remaining rune chips into the shell one by one , although it is not a perfect fit, it is much better than hand-polished.

Fasten the casing, and a brand new soul guide cannon is finished. Compared with the soul guide cannon, Lan Nuo wants to make a soul guide generator or a soul guide engine, but the most important thing that people of this era can pay attention to is still the soul guide. Soul guide weapons, in order to obtain resources, people must first recognize their own value.

Lan Nuo raised the soul guide cannon and fixed the soul guide on his arm with a belt. Compared with the wasteland before, it looked like a metal pipe dug out of the garbage dump. The soul guide in front of him It's kind of a bit steampunk.

The iron-gray shell is riveted together by bolts. Through the heat dissipation grille on the side, you can see the high-speed rotating gears and fans inside.

As Lan Nuo pulled the trigger, the fan made a buzzing sound of high-speed rotation, resembling the sound of accumulating energy. After a second of warm-up, the crimson ray shot out from the muzzle, and the arm-thick ray hit ten people straight. The wooden target a few meters away, like a flamethrower constrained into rays, instantly ignited the target. Lan Nuo held up the soul cannon and fired horizontally. The surrounding weeds and targets were also quickly ignited, don't be red Where the ray swept, everything was scorched black, and even the metal armor on the target was burnt red after being focused for a few seconds.

"The effect is good!" Lan Nuo strafed for 15 seconds, and with a clang, the insurance spread out, and a fiery red metal strip popped out from the right side of the soul guide cannon, followed by a large amount of white steam.

Lan Nuo took out a new heat dissipation strip, stuffed it in from the side, pulled the trigger again, and the fiery red rays fired again. This time, Lan Nuo began to test the range, strafing forward against the ground, and the weeds in the wasteland dried up. Burning, as the ray irradiates farther and farther away, the fiery red spot is getting bigger and bigger. At a distance of about 50 meters, the beam of light has become as thick as a water tank, and dead grass is difficult to ignite, which means that more than 50 meters , the lethality of this soul tool is very limited.

Although it only has a range of 50 meters, it still has considerable practical significance for soul masters who generally have short hands.

Howard snatched the soul guide cannon from Lan Nuo, stroked and inspected the shell and internal structure that he was already familiar with during the production process with satisfaction, and sighed in his mouth: "Looking at those people outside this time, do you dare to talk about my magic?" Equipment is useless garbage!
Hum hum!This power, this consumption, this range, even if used by the soul sect, can enrich the fighting methods, and the auxiliary type soul masters can show the attack power comparable to the attack type soul masters. "

Lan Nuo rolled his eyes. Although Howard can be regarded as a scientist of this era, his thinking is still limited by the inherent thinking of soul masters. He evaluates the role of a new invention by combat power.

Compared with this weapon, Lan Nuo still wants more functional items such as self-charging soul guide array, super large storage soul guide, soul guide engine, and soul guide numerical control machine tool.

It's a pity that Lan Nuo's thinking is hard for people in this world to understand.

"By the way, how long do you think it will take for an ordinary person to learn how to make this thing with the cooperation of our machine tools?" Lan Nuo asked Howard, who was dancing around, looking for something to bake like a child with a magnifying glass.

"Ordinary people? How could ordinary people learn how to make this thing? Those soul masters are all as stupid as pigs, and ordinary people can't learn it." Howard seemed to recall some bad memories.

"You can't unilaterally think that ordinary people can't learn it! You haven't tried to teach it. Soul masters can't learn it because they are too lazy to learn. We just need to consider separating each step and handing it over to ordinary people. Can it be done?
If it can be done, theoretically there must be someone who can learn it. The IQ gap between people is not that big. Among the tens of millions of ordinary people, there must be existences with better brains than the two of us. "

Howard bit his finger, but he had to admit that the world is so big, there are always people who are more talented than them, but he just happened to be lucky enough to get the opportunity to use his intelligence.

"You don't want to advertise the technology we have finally developed!" Howard was a little unwilling.

"Otherwise? Could it be that the two of us squatted in the workshop, smelting steel, blacksmithing, carving, and digging out machine tools? That would count as a lifetime of work. I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to produce many useful things.

Let me tell you, you have to open up a little bit!How does monopoly technology benefit you?Among other things, you are almost 30 years old, you are only in the realm of the soul sect, and you have a white soul ring, relying on the soul guide to improve your own strength, do you think it is reliable?

It's better to establish a soul guidance industry system and become the master behind the scenes. "

Howard: "..."

Lan Nuo's big truth is so frankly infuriating. Of course he knows that he will burn incense if he can break through the soul king in this life, but he doesn't bring cumin on the muzzle of the gun like this!

"You have to understand that we need to mass-produce this thing. Only by mass-producing can the cost be kept down, and the cost can be sold for a lot of money. Look for yourself, how much did we spend on the materials we consumed these days? Almost all the things you have accumulated over the past few years are used up.

If you want to continue research in this area, you must have money, not only money, but also someone who will accompany you to think about this thing.If you guard your own one-acre three-point land, you will be so busy that you will die, and the soul guide will not develop much. Only more people will use it, and more people will participate in the production and consumption of soul guides. Among them, the progress of an industrial system can be promoted. "

Lan Nuo kept doing ideological work for Howard, trying to get him to agree to recruit a large number of apprentices, but it was not so easy to convince people of this era.Not to mention Douluo people, even modern people have a lot of feudal remnants in their minds.

They believe that technology leakage means that they have lost most of their interests and dominance. This statement can only be regarded as partially correct, and they regard it as a standard. Five people can learn a set of key technologies, want to block the technology, maintain a monopoly position in this field, and avoid competition.

Under the extremely complex modern industrial system, this kind of thinking can be called naive. First, relying on one or two self-destruct devices, it is impossible to completely prevent users from disassembling and understanding the internal structure.

Secondly, the technical accumulation of industrial products depends not only on the tinkering of a group of technicians in the laboratory, but also on a large number of user feedback.Allowing more people to participate in the production and use of such products will help developers collect information and improve equipment. The larger the market, the more detailed the feedback, and the faster the technological progress will be. As long as the high Market share, the gap between leaders and competitors will only become more and more obvious.

Therefore, if you really want to occupy a dominant position in a complex industrial field, you must not simply look at the lowest-level method of setting up a self-destruct device for technical blockade, but to continuously collect data feedback to improve product performance , to ensure market share, to ensure that they have a group of skilled workers and technical workers.

It is enough to achieve this level. As for spending a lot of resources, trying to maintain absolute secrecy and cut off the emergence of competitors from the source, this kind of thinking can only be said to be feudal residue. If everyone holds this kind of thinking, then Technology does not need to progress.
