Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 111 Machine Tools, Misunderstandings

On the Saint Continent, in the year 3251 of the Valer Calendar.

In spring, on July 8th.

After traveling through several countries, Sulian and Nalin used the magic item given by Esha to confirm that there was no one following them, and then they returned to the Kingdom of Avisu.

In the Possio District, in the Arl Territory.

Sulian first returned to the magic core manufacturing factory hidden in the mountains.

...

"Yo! Little boss, long time no see. You've become even more handsome," Uncle Cam greeted while leaning on a machine.

The area of this manufacturing factory wasn't very large. After all, there were only so many people working there long-term. Instead, the newly dug living area was quite spacious. And with the magic pumping station supplying magic power, the continuous lighting made the inside of the mountain as bri

ght as day.

"How's the production output of the magic cores?" Sulian asked directly.

"Not bad. Limited by the material supply, since production only started at the beginning of this year, we've only made 1,600 low-level magic cores so far," Uncle Cam said roughly.

There are a total of 212 mages of the first three ranks involved in the production, right? On average, each person can only make one per month?" Sulian was a bit dissatisfied with this production output.

"Be content. The materials were almost used up in March and April. Later, the kingdom's blockade was so strict. It was all thanks to the other chambers of commerce that they managed to scrape together a bit more for us to continue production. We had nothing else to do here, so we directly made a set

of machine tools for fuel engines for you," Uncle Cam said.

"A set? With the continuous supply of magic power, can it achieve continuous production?" Sulian was a bit surprised.

"Yes, it can. But the basic parts still need to be forged manually. After placing the forged parts in the designated position, the complete set of machine tools will automatically produce the remaining parts and complete the assembly."

"I've also checked the qualification rate, and it can exceed 95%."

"When we get some more machine tools for parts later, with the continuous supply of magic power from the magic pumping station, as long as there are enough raw materials, I can produce as many fuel engines as you send in."

Uncle Cam said proudly!

A complete set of machine tools for the streamlined production of fuel engines, what wonderful news!

As long as there are enough fuel engines, then in the future, not only tanks but also other multi-functional transportation tools can be fully developed!

Magic vehicles can indeed change the transportation landscape, but to further expand, we must rely on more affordable fuel engines!

Now Uncle Cam and the others have even managed to make the machine tools. Is this what the goblin race is capable of?

...

"What's the horsepower for mass production?" Sulian quickly asked.

"Horsepower? Oh, the unit you set before. It's probably around 20 horsepower. It's about the same level as a carriage. But as long as there's fuel, it can keep running, and it's indeed much better than a carriage. I have to say, your inventions, little boss, are really practical!" Uncle Cam also pra

ised.

Originally, a horse was about 15 horsepower, but the horses in this world were generally a bit stronger.

"Can it be optimized further?" Sulian asked.

"It's possible, but it will take some time, and the subsequent plan arrangements need to be adjusted," Uncle Cam said.

"Then move the optimization task to the front. How long will it take to increase the horsepower of the fuel engines produced by the mass-produced machine tools to between 40 and 50 horsepower? What about if it's even higher?" Sulian asked.

After he gave Uncle Cam the basic fuel engine blueprint, with his original goblin mechanic skills, the fuel engine he made with great precision in a short time already had a horsepower of 120. To further increase it later, the quality of the fuel would need to be refined using alchemy.

"For 50 horsepower... I estimate it will take about two months to achieve."

"Roughly speaking, the entire machine tool needs to be optimized. If you also want us to make machine tools for parts, we need to add another month."

"No, it should be two more months. After all, it's for the optimized machine tool."

Uncle Cam roughly estimated.

Four months!

These goblin and human mechanics could make a complete set of machine tools for fuel engines with a horsepower of 40 to 50, and with the continuous supply of magic power, they could achieve streamlined production!

Then...

It must be implemented immediately!

...

"Redo the work schedule now. Postpone all non-essential production, including the production of low-level magic cores! Make sure that within three months, at least before I go to the Alpha Empire again, the entire streamlined machine tool for fuel engines is perfected!" Sulian directly turned it int

o an order.

"Are you serious, little boss? You're not in a hurry for the magic cores?" Uncle Cam was taken aback.

"No hurry! I'll go back and discuss with Grandpa and the others later. If you still have doubts, take a look at these blueprints." Sulian directly took out some magic crystals.

Uncle Cam looked at the seven floating magic crystals in front of him and, feeling suspicious, opened one of them to check the content first.

After looking at the first one, he frowned.

After looking at the second one, his brows were already tightly furrowed.

After looking at the third one, his breathing became a bit rapid.

After directly looking through all seven of them, Uncle Cam felt so excited that his heart almost jumped out!

What Sulian gave him were all blueprints of various transport vehicles!

Large and small freight trucks;

Large and small passenger vehicles;

Forklifts used in factories;

Small excavators, loaders, and cranes;

As long as the horsepower of the fuel engine was sufficient, these machines could be completely manufactured, and there was no need for the magic cores that had to be manually made by mages!

"Whew——Hoo——!"

Uncle Cam took a deep breath.

"Let me take a moment to calm down. This is really overwhelming..." Uncle Cam said, holding his chest.

He felt that his excited heart was really about to jump out!

Holy crap!

When we invented the magic cores before, why didn't we think of the simplified route?

Minimize and optimize the magic cores, not for driving knight mechas that require high power and pursue extreme output. Instead, make them completely smaller, so that they can be mass-produced to make multi-functional auxiliary tools and improve the overall productivity?

Completely!

We never thought in this direction at all!

...

"Now you should understand, Uncle Cam, right?"

"Since the magic element power core was made by that genius in the past and the powerful Darita mecha was made based on it, all the mechanics in the whole world have been blinded by the subsequent power of the Darita. They only think about developing in the direction of being stronger, bigger, and m

ore extreme."

"Because being powerful represents combat power!"

Sulian clearly understood the reason for the distorted development direction of the technology tree in this world.

Because in war, only powerful beings are needed!

Only by continuously becoming stronger can one have a foothold, which has led to the research direction of all magic cores being how to make the knight mechas of their own countries stronger!

Higher power output of magic power!

Greater mobility and explosive power!

More super-standard magic power reserves!

This is the research direction needed in war and the fundamental way to defeat the enemy!

And this is also...

The "misunderstanding" that this world has fallen into.

"Wow... Little boss, you've completely negated us. I'm a bit at a loss," Uncle Cam said, holding his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

"You should have realized this when I gave you the blueprints of tanks and airplanes," Sulian said indifferently.

"Mainly, they are still using magic cores. And they even think that if they use better magic cores, they can even make better tanks and airplanes. Especially for airplanes, they can accelerate better in the air and greatly enhance their power."

"Now we've realized that this idea has also fallen into our traditional misunderstanding."

"Sometimes, strengthening the foundation is also very necessary!"

Uncle Cam couldn't help but sigh.

He himself was also a goblin who had fallen into this misunderstanding.

...

"So we must prioritize this machine tool above all else," Sulian said again.

"I understand, I completely understand. Don't worry, little boss! Even if I only sleep five hours a day for these three months, I'll make a machine tool for fuel engines with a horsepower of over 50 for you!" Uncle Cam said with determination!

He also wanted to witness the new era that he was involved in starting!

"Don't rush. Your health is the most important thing. The reason I'm urging the progress is that I've also brought back new technologies that need to be researched. So try to finish it as early as possible, and then we can study these things together," Sulian said.

"Then I'll sleep one more hour," Uncle Cam said seriously!

"At least seven hours a day, no less!" Sulian was also very firm.

"All right..." Uncle Cam reluctantly agreed.

"One more thing. Even if you can mass-produce fuel engines through streamlined production, in the future, you can only make a small number of excavators, loaders, cranes, and forklifts to assist with the work. You are not allowed to produce other types of vehicles, and they must not appear in the pu

blic eye."

"You can continue to optimize them and even continue to research and develop based on them."

"But under no circumstances should you leak the fuel engines, at least until we control a large number of fuel-producing areas."

Sulian said seriously.

"Don't worry about that. The mages we hired later are only involved in making parts of the machine tools. They have no idea what the complete machine tools are used for. For now, the other transport vehicles are still using our minimized magic cores," Uncle Cam said.

The machine tools are now isolated in another area, and those who are not trusted by Esha later won't know their purpose.

Those people just need to continue making ordinary low-level magic cores.

"However, after you capture a larger territory, we can officially start production, right?" Uncle Cam said, rubbing his hands.

He looked eager to try. As a mechanic, it's hard to resist such things.

"More or less. Now, the second thing is to call Teacher Mavis and the others over to study the new stuff with me," Sulian smiled.

"Oh? Okay. By the way, can you give me a hint? What's the new thing?" Uncle Cam asked curiously.

"New communication technology, communication technology that far surpasses that of all countries and races!" Sulian said confidently!

"Got it! Little boss, wait a moment. I'll go and call those trustworthy guys over right now!" Uncle Cam quickly turned around.

Obviously, he was going to directly drag people over from their research stations.

This is a major matter, and there's no time to waste.
