The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 175 Don't be too superstitious about automation

The reason why Virgil would go back is largely because he was counseled.

The hunters at the door held swords and looked at him unkindly.

On the tower in the distance, there were a few rats standing beside a thick black door, giving him a thumbs up, not knowing what they were doing.

Virgil had to accept a fact.

He was coerced.

Seeing Virgil's "returning from a lost journey", the other two mages did not laugh at him.

After all, the reason why they came to Windsor is also quite tortuous.

"That's right, my good buddy, the outside of Windsor is terrible, there are undead all over the mountain, fierce gnolls, and goblins who bully the weak and fear the hard, they are everywhere!
I am afraid that you are too insecure when you are outside. "

Ickert gave Virgil a step at the right time, and the other party nodded, and said seriously:
"I don't feel safe either. It looks like I'm going to bother you here for a while."

"Please."

The three mages quickly accepted the status quo, were assigned to their own rooms, and settled down.

But it takes some work for these mages to really do things for him.

Virgil's matter is not difficult to solve. As a mage who has signed a "recruitment contract", Ickert naturally has a way to deal with him.

Joining the frontline lord's command can exempt the "conscription decree", but for different lords, there are certain restrictions on the frequency and upper limit of the lifting.

Specifically, it depends on the policy of the empire every year.

It's just that Ickert promised that as long as he works for three years first, Virgil will definitely be released from the call-up order.

And also comes with a considerable amount of compensation.

After much deliberation, Virgil finally decided to stay in the territory.

And Xi Luoerman, this mage can be said to be willing to work hard, his only request is to be with Ickert all the time.

He wanted a job that would be stable for the rest of his life, and Siroman had already seen his limits clearly. He didn't ask for anything else, but only hoped that Ickert would leave him a place.

For Ickert, who is eager for talents, this request is nothing.

As for Lafayette, he still wants to study Chaomeng, and has repeatedly hinted that Ickert wants to have his own laboratory.

Coincidentally, researching Chaomeng is also what Ickert wants him to do.

So, after stipulating Lafayette's obligations to the work of the territory, Ickert agreed to his freedom in research and promised to support him.

Of course, in the early stage of development, Ikert can only provide all support except help.

Facts have proved that as long as there is a territory in hand, it is not difficult to ask mages to do things for themselves.

In order to increase their enthusiasm for production, Eckert also promised to evaluate their performance and give generous rewards.

After taking care of the three mages, Ickert took them to the factory of the Ministry of Industry.

It can be said that Old Kent has broken his heart in order to create a generation of magic machines.

For craftsmen, it is not difficult to make a machine.

But for magic machines, they lack the corresponding knowledge.

"My lord, the main parts have actually been made, but without you, we really can't complete the magic vat you told me."

Old Kent said distressedly, the so-called magic tank is what Ickert called the magic power mechanism.

Ickert turned his head and explained to the three mages the working principle of the magic mechanism.

Although I can't understand the specific purpose of Ickert's creation of such a thing, the cognitive ability of the mages is still enough for them to understand the structure of the magic motive.

"Master Ikett, it is not difficult to get this magic machine running, but it involves many magic problems, which need to be calculated and solved in advance."

Virgil suggested.

"About the selection of magic-forbidden materials for compressing the magic pressure, the output specification control of the operation magic pressure and the two driving circles, the engraved area of ​​the magic circle, the direction of the magic power circuit, and the selection of magic-guiding materials, all kinds of problems need to be resolved. "

"Yeah, but that's why we're here."

The above problems are not to say that Ickert cannot solve them by himself, but that it is too time-consuming for him to solve them all.

Among the magicians present, Siroman was an earth magician, Virgil was a wind and force magician, and Lafayette was a spiritual magician.

Although the departments are different, they are more or less involved in the original force spells.

Relying on their insights and knowledge reserves to quickly complete the selection of raw materials and structural calculations is the purpose of Eckert.

The mages present were all practical, and they immediately got together to conduct a calculation verification, with the goal of mobilizing all the machines in the territory.

In the end, it was calculated that in order to move so many heavy devices, at least a third-order force circle must be used.

Considering the magic pressure of the third-order magic crystal in the territory, it is necessary to further increase the magic pressure of the output magic circle to an appropriate value.

As for how much is suitable, this involves the stroke of the piston and the magic pressure that can be achieved by the final compression.

Before the entity is born, no one can get a specific answer.

In the end, Ickert could only roughly convert the magic pressure through the pressure calculation formula he learned in junior high school in his previous life.

The result obtained in this way is definitely not accurate, but it roughly defines a range for the magic pressure of the original force circle, and the stroke of the magic-forbidden piston and the parameters of the magic cylinder are also determined from this.

But when it comes to the selection and smelting of magic materials, the mages present are really limited in their abilities and can only be rough.

This requires high-concentration magic crystal smelting, that is, to incorporate more magic crystals of the same level into steel of the same weight.

During this process, the three mages can be regarded as witnessing Wen Desuoer's magical production methods and various craftsmanship.

There are many brand new things here, and mages are also quite interested in this.

Humans really have a mysterious pursuit of automation.

For example, with the addition of several mages, whether it is the fried steel and heat-treated wind magic circle, or the vacuum casting overall magic circle inscription, they have all been perfected and improved.

This has brought the productivity of the territory to a higher level.

These facilities that Ickert originally needed to spend a lot of time conquering one by one were solved in less than a day after getting help.

Siroman and Virgil seem to have awakened a strange habit, as long as any link is not automatic enough, they will feel itchy.

As the saying goes, more people are more powerful. Under the various operations and acceleration of the mages, all the parts of the magic cylinder were built within five days.

The next thing to do is to trim the overall accuracy of the parts so that they work perfectly together.

At this time, the mages had to admire the old fitter for his strength.

No matter what the parts were, they seemed to be able to achieve an incredible fit if they were ground by old Kent with a file.

Eckert became more and more satisfied with the old fitter.

In fact, even in Blue Star, ultra-precision machine tools are not produced by industrial equipment.

They are all advanced types of work, especially fitters, who rub them out for you with incredible hand precision.

The master will tell you that the parts of a certain missile are made with a certain machine tool, but this machine tool can only be made by the masters.

In Eckert's ear, that sentence seemed to echo again:

"Kid, don't be too superstitious about automation."

The old fitter blew on the file in his hand, said calmly, then left the workpiece with a tolerance of 0.003 mm, and left gracefully.
