Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1311 Production Line Improvement Plan
Tower of Time.

As the saying goes, "A little farewell is better than a newlywed". On the morning of the second day after Xia Duo came back, he reluctantly let go of Niya until the magic hour reminded him several times, and then the two got up together.

After breakfast, Niya went to the study on the top floor to continue studying her communication fanlock, while Xia Duo came to the public floor, ready to see the production status of the demon-slaying amulet.

Before coming here, he had learned from Niya that the production line of the Demon Slayer Talisman was placed in Workshop No. 023 on the public floor, so this time he went straight here without giving the relevant personnel any time to prepare.

Pushing open the door, the most realistic production scene of the demon-slaying amulet production line appeared in front of Xia Duo——

Two parallel-extending workbenches intersect at the end of the section near the room. Seven alchemy circles are distributed on specific positions, which can accommodate 21 people to work at the same time.

However, there were only nearly 30 magicians that Xia Duo could see at this time, and the vicinity of the workbench was crowded.

But a large number of people does not mean chaos. There are actually only 16 people beside the seven alchemy circles who need to operate the magic circles to make the mithril components needed to make the demon-slaying amulet.

Others, mostly the assistants of these 16 people, provide support for auxiliary lines or precise measurement spells; a few are the final assembly and packagers in the later stage.

In just a moment, Xia Duo saw the entire production process of the demon-slaying amulet in the early stage—from the tiny mithril grains to the slender and delicate mithril components, and then to the sterling silver-encapsulated prototype of the talisman after final assembly.

There is no link to the magic net, that's because only two days have passed since Xia Duo asked Eberke to bring back the mass production design plan, and today is the third day.

Relevant personnel want to be familiar with the final production steps of the demon-slaying amulet, which cannot be completed in a day or two.

"grown ups!"

"You don't need to be too polite, you are busy with your work, I will just take a look."

Rejecting everyone's salute, Xia Duo walked slowly behind the packager at the end of the production line, and three small wooden boxes without lids came into view immediately.

The inside of the box was divided into 6*6 small grids. The first box was already half full. Xia Duo glanced at it and found that there were 29 small silver amulets lying quietly in the small grid.

He took two talismans and put them in his palms. At first glance, they were two small silver medals without any decorations, which formed a sharp contrast with other talismans.

But that's what makes the Tower of Time special—

mass production!

It does not mean that patterns cannot be added to the top, but this will inevitably increase the process and man-hours. For the task cycle of less than 20 days, it is still a bit too urgent.

As long as the core functions are not lacking, those dwarves are in the midst of a war, and how much thought do they have to appreciate the artistic accomplishments on a small talisman!
The mass production plan of the Demon Slayer Talisman was researched by Xia Duo on the projection plane, and he himself is very familiar with this plan.

Now that he had two rudimentary talismans in hand, he began to try to connect them to the magic net, but unfortunately, of the two rudimentary talismans he took at hand, only one link was successful, and the other ended in failure.

It's not that Xia Duo is not familiar with the steps of linking the demon-slaying amulet to the magic net, but that besides the problem of the amulet itself, its internal mithril components have deviated during the final assembly.

Unless he calculates a new connection method in real time based on this deviation, otherwise, one connection will fail one by one, which is the main reason why the yield rate cannot reach 100%.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo took another look at the current production situation of the production line, and after a little thought, he thought of areas that could be improved.

At present, the alchemy circle of the Tower of Time is not functional enough. Compared with the alchemy circle in [Projection Plane Remnants of the Empire], there is still considerable room for improvement.

But for the production of the Demon Slayer Talisman, this backwardness is not a problem, the key is that his magic technicians have misunderstandings about the alchemy circle.

Although the alchemy circle is set up for production, production does not mean only changes and outputs. In fact, the entire process from raw materials to finished products belongs to production.

Mithril components can be shaped on the alchemy circle, and the final assembly can also be done.

The Mithril components of the Demon-Slaying Talisman are far less delicate than the magic chip designed by Xia Duo on the projection plane, but they are also very small. During the process of completing the shaping and flowing to the final assembly, if there is a slight bump, it may have to be reworked.

In addition, during final assembly, the assembly of such small "parts" is not easy to operate.

What Xia Duo thought of was to equip the alchemy circle for the final assembly link. Even if the alchemy circle of the Tower of Time lags far behind, the basic floating field is also available.

Performing final assembly in a zero-gravity environment must minimize errors.

It's a pity that these magic technicians are not even formal mages. If they have the spellcasting ability of those magic technicians among the remnants of the empire, Xia Duo still has the final assembly spell specially designed for the demon-slaying amulet.

This further reduces the influence of human factors.

In addition to the final assembly of the alchemy circle, there is also the outflow process of the mithril components after they have been shaped, and it is best to be in the floating field throughout the process.

Although this requires a certain degree of transformation of the production line, it is still very worthwhile for the expected and increasing orders for demon-slaying amulets.

After only looking at the situation of the two talismans, Xia Duo did not stop the production line immediately. Anyway, the working hours of these magic technicians will not exceed 4 hours a day at most, and it will not be too late to remodel them when they are resting.

……

After coming out of workshop No. 023, Xia Duo turned around and went to the magic mechanic on the same public floor. This place was mainly for some data collection, personnel training and other things.

In addition to the prototype of the talisman, the production of the demon-slaying talisman also has the most critical link to the magic net. This part can be done by high-level mages, but the number of high-level mages in the Tower of Time is seriously insufficient.

Therefore, when projecting the plane, when Xia Duo approved the project for Huck and others, he asked to be able to break down the process, so that the middle and low-priced mages can also participate in the process of linking the magic net, and share part of the work for the high-level mages.

After arriving at the Magic Technician, Ganal greeted him head-on and gave a slight salute. Xia Duo and Ganal were both Niya's apprentices, and their relationship was much closer than that of ordinary mages.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then they talked about the recent development of the Magic Technician——

"In terms of personnel, in addition to the 30 apprentice-level mechanics who were rehired at the beginning, a batch of them were rehired one after another, and some of the official apprentices of the Tower of Time have also registered as magic mechanics.

"Currently, there are 112 apprentice-level technicians in the Magic Technician Department, of which only 52 are full-time workers, and the rest have production tasks, so they come here occasionally.

"There are 9 junior technicians, 5 of whom are full-time and 4 part-time; there are 3 intermediate technicians, of which 2 are full-time and 1 is part-time.

"As for production, in addition to the communication instruments, warning amulets, missile wands, and wood pulp paper that have already been mass-produced before, the production line for the demon-slaying amulets is also running in, and it should not delay Lord Harlan's order."
