Chapter 11 Building a mechanical puppet
After walking along the tunnel for almost two kilometers, a red light appeared faintly in front of us. This was the foundry area in the center that we were about to reach.
Of course, the workshop where engineers work cannot be inside. The room temperature in the core area is too high, and the temperature there is at least above forty degrees. Only dwarves and kobolds can tolerate such a high temperature environment.
Zhang Weidao stopped at an intersection. At this time, the temperature in the casting area had spread a little, and the dry hot air was blowing, which felt pretty good. There were engineering workshops on both sides of the intersection, and the workshop on the left was already building guns. Zhang
Wei Dao took everyone to the right and settled down. After placing the tools, the engineering technicians immediately began to discuss how to build the mechanical puppet.
There was no objection to the main frame of this mechanical puppet, and the structure of the limbs was quickly approved. The shape and size of these parts were directly sent to the casting area to be built as soon as possible.
Then the goblin and the dwarf began to argue about what shell to use. The goblin thought that it could be tied up with some thatch and fixed, while the dwarf thought that the puppet should be covered with a layer of iron. The two sides refused to give in to each other over trivial issues.
In the end, Zhang Weidao decided to make do with thatch for the time being, as long as it can block dew and dust. After all, those puppets used to be like this. When they are free later, they will be replaced with iron casings in batches, which is both beautiful and beautiful.
Can increase defense.
The goblins also knew that when the Western Wilderness was invaded by orcs, the wheat field puppet they produced fell apart with an ax from the orcs. The thatch shell had no protective effect at all, and they had no objection to replacing the puppet with an iron shell later.
After thoroughly finalizing the structural plan, the next step is to wait for the rough parts to be produced, and then the engineering technicians to carry out fine processing. There is no equipment such as programming CNC machine tools in this world, and fine processing is completed step by step by technicians operating the processing equipment.
In terms of processing accuracy, the technicians have an absolute guarantee. The dozens of harvesters converted from lumberjacks purchased have been operated at high intensity for two days without any minor problems.
This is a product made by a guy like Goblin who likes to make things shoddily. It doesn’t look that good on the outside, but it actually operates quite stably.
The technicians who had nothing to do for the time being began to test the processing equipment. The equipment built by Garon, a part-time technician, allowed these professional technicians to find a lot of problems. A group of little guys knocked and demolished the floor.
Looking at the parts, Zhang Weidao, a mechanically blind person, felt dizzy and left quickly.
Watching these guys transform equipment is better than going to the foundry area to watch the blacksmiths making parts. At least that one can show some skills.
When Zhang Weidao came to the edge of the lava pool shrouded in orange-red fire, every time he saw the wonders caused by the power of this spell, his knees would feel a little weak. Just as Zhang Weidao was observing the changes in the magma pool, "Plop" came from next to him.
"With a sound, Gersk's legs were weak and he was kneeling on the ground, staring blankly at the magma pool.
"Oh! My God! This is almost a replica of the Great Forge in Ironforge!"
Then Geerske looked at the equipment that used magma pools for smelting, and turned to test Zhang Weidao's vision.
"Dear Sir, in addition to using lava pools to smelt metal, do you have any other development and utilization plans?"
Zhang Weidao glanced at this smug little man, he was obviously ready to show off his knowledge.
Zhang Weidao had already planned this model of development and utilization of lava resources, but he just lacked enough technical personnel to realize it. Gersk made a mistake in testing him in this area.
"This kind of lava pool formed by connecting the elemental realm is a very pure renewable resource. I plan to build a geothermal power station first, and later build some power facilities when the resources are sufficient."
Hearing Zhang Weidao's plan for the lava pool, Gersk was instantly shocked. When did humans have such advanced scientific concepts? Aren't they just a group of war maniacs who are keen on fighting trolls all day long?
Apart from having a demigod-level Dharma God sitting in charge, humans really don’t have anything outstanding!
In fact, the dwarfs' views on humans are quite right. In addition to buying some artillery as city defense weapons, humans rarely buy muskets, let alone other engineering items.
Dwarf merchants once wanted to sell miner helmets to human mines, but humans found it troublesome to use, so they still used candles and torches for lighting. Oxygen deficiency and explosions were commonplace.
The dwarf businessman used the example of hypoxia to ask humans why they don't buy lighting products such as miner's lamps that do not consume oxygen. The humans replied that it is too troublesome to use. This kind of rigid thinking has deeply affected the sales desire of the technological race.
.
No matter how imaginative Gersk was, he would never have guessed that Zhang Weidao came from a world with highly developed technology. He had been exposed to this aspect of energy utilization and knew no less than engineering masters like them, and in some aspects he was even better.
However, Zhang Weidao can only talk but not do. Specific things still need to be manufactured by these professional engineers and technicians. If he can both talk and do experiments by himself, then he can become a great scientist like Yang Zhenning, instead of just
The talkative Hawking.
Gersk failed to show off his knowledge, so he could only comfort himself with the thought that the heroes had similar opinions, and then drew detailed drawings of the magma pool, preparing to go back and plan the best construction plan.
Zhang Weidao watched Geerske sweating profusely as he finished drawing, and asked a shaman to come over and cast spells on him to cool him down, and then asked him to go out quickly to replenish his fluids.
After seeing off Gersk, Zhang Weidao came to the blacksmiths' forging area.
When I walked into the forging workshop, I saw the blacksmiths playing with parts. If I looked closely, they were the parts required by the technicians' drawings.
This is too fast! Zhang Weidao looked at the time and it was only half an hour. How could it be done so quickly?
After asking about it, I found out that it was copied from the original when I wanted to repair the Wheat Field Puppet. It turned out that the core part was rusty and damaged, so I had to store it in a corner. I happened to need these parts this time, so I moved them directly.
Come out and prepare to send one out first.
Zhang Weidao saw that there were ready-made parts and just picked them up and left. Parts weighing hundreds of kilograms were not a problem at all, and he quickly carried them to the technician.
The technicians checked the size of the parts, and then processed them with great satisfaction, and then began assembly and debugging. Watching the technicians assemble the mechanical puppet step by step, this completely overturned Zhang Weidao's impression of the robot.
What about the extremely complex transmission structure?
It's cheating for you to directly activate the joints by a spell caster who knows alchemy! It's obviously a technological creation, but it's asking a spell caster for help.
Seeing these guys cheating to complete the first mechanical puppet, Zhang Weidao felt as if his head had been stepped on by ten thousand mud horses. He also wanted to see how the technicians solved the joint problem, but these guys directly
Ask the spell caster to use alchemy activation. No wonder the technician who came a few days ago always asked which spell caster knew alchemy.
It turns out that this is how these guys cheated. Previously, Zhang Weidao was wondering why the woodcutter moved so smoothly. After working on it for a long time, he used alchemy to solve the biggest problem.
However, looking at the freely moving mechanical puppet in front of him, Zhang Weidao's dissatisfaction disappeared instantly. Where can he find such a good mechanical puppet? Not limited to a fixed frame, but able to make full use of the power of other systems, this is qualified engineering.
technician.
