Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

The heavy walking mecha carried the supplies and walked through the flat surface covered with dark gray cement. It stretched out its long arms to take out the supplies from the open hatch of the docked airship and put them in the extended cargo box on its back.

Engineering spider mecha.

As an improvement of engineering machinery, the mechanical joints of the steam spider were artificially thickened and shortened to give it better stability and support.

These big guys don't need to charge on the battlefield like their prototypes.

They now have... six short legs.

Usually in various areas where the space is relatively large and the body position needs to be changed, which is not convenient for large transport vehicles.

Long-distance transportation generally uses airships or steam locomotives directly.

After all, Ji Lin's subordinates have wheels.

The joint mechanical unit moves long distances, and the loss caused by the wear of mechanical parts... It is better to use other transport units directly for transportation.

The job of the steam engineering spider is to use its movable mechanical arm to unload boxes of materials from the cargo hold of the airship and transport these materials to the nearby material warehouse for storage.

As for why a separate transport unit is not designed.

Because Ji Lin has no plan to open another production line, a slight modification of the prototype of the steam spider steam mechanized soldier can do it without opening another production line.

The cost of the modification may be only 20%, but the resources required to open an additional production line may exceed 100%.

Risk, cost, cost-effectiveness.

Just modify it, don't open another production line separately.

The production advantage brought by scale is far better than the quality advantage of redesign.

This is why you can often see a modification of a weapon and equipment being used for ten, twenty, or even thirty years.

The replacement of products, especially military products, is a wonderful thing.

The more the quantity produced, the lower the R\u0026D cost and production line construction cost per product will be, which will eventually lead to a lower price for the product itself.

On the contrary.

If the quantity produced is small, then the research cost and the cost of building a production line will be spread over each product, which will make the same product appear extremely expensive.

At the same time.

Products with more output will have enough profit optimization space because their output is sufficient, and the profits brought by those products are enough to make people willing to optimize the products... and have enough time to check the shortcomings one by one and optimize them.

Because its profit allows.

Many of the good things in industry can exist at the same time.

As for those with high output, what should be done? R\u0026D companies just want to quickly get back the R\u0026D cost and then kill this unprofitable project.

The above is just a description based on absolutely ideal conditions, which will be more complicated in reality...

Let's get back to the topic.

Unless it is a floating ship, there is also a steam locomotive that is using a crystal steam engine... These are completely units in new fields.

When no changes could be made, the spider was selected to set up a production line with technicians and workers.

The steam spider has six heavy walking limbs, and its walking carrying stability and carrying capacity are far better than the steam mechanized soldiers with only two legs. In the end, it was selected to become the leader's engineering auxiliary machinery.

The old steam spider only needs a little improvement to become a qualified freight robot.

Similar to the existence of a forklift.

Now an outstretched hand lifted up a forklift that was about to load and unload materials, like a toy.

A short pulse of current entered, paralyzing the spider that was constantly struggling after being caught, and the six mechanical joints and two seemingly extremely simple mechanical arms drooped weakly.

"Activate."

The current was injected, and the steam spider was awakened again, struggling in the hands of a large humanoid structure.

Like a worker ant caught from an ant colony.

It was protesting against this behavior that disturbed its work.

But the observers would not care about its protest.

"Shut down."

The current was injected, and the steam spider drooped its limbs weakly.

"Hmm... So that's how it is..."

Gui Yu observed the chassis of the steam spider. Through a short activation and shutdown, she roughly understood the operating mechanism of these structures that rely more on machinery and runes.

Hydraulic rods, crankshafts, and flashing repulsive rune matrices and floating stone weight-reducing frames.

Under the heavy steel is a delicate mechanical structure, which is the application of rune technology, supporting the operation of mechanical structure units.

The steam spider was put back on the body, and the current was injected. It turned its crystal blue pupils to look at the large structure that lifted it... Then it ran to the engineer in the yellow vest with its six short legs, lifted the supply box and put it behind him.

But it was still too rough and lacked the beauty that a machine should have.

As the world's most outstanding vein scholar, she is the most outstanding mechanical scholar, and she still has her own insights in technology.

Well, after she came...

The leader should use the meridians to strengthen the construct units.

Three days, she doesn't like to waste these working time... and she doesn't like to spend the time they originally spent together on work.

One day to finish the work earlier, one more day to spend together~

"Mo Qi, what do you think?"

The gray-haired girl turned her head and looked at her research assistant.

"Due to the problem of material strength, a lot of compromises were made in the design, resulting in a serious decline in flexibility and various data... The main structure needs to be redesigned, the supporting parts need to be redesigned, the production cost is expected to be reduced by 10%, and the performance will be moderately improved."

The female research supervisor wearing wide-frame glasses quickly wrote and drew on the paper, then tore off the paper and handed it to her direct supervisor.

The dean followed Gui Yu and Mo Qi tremblingly. He sweated when he heard her words, but when he thought that she was not assigning him a job... he suddenly felt relieved.

Ji Lin always liked to chat with him and say: 'I think this research project is good. ', 'What do you think of this direction? '

Then the dean knew that he had to get ready to start working.

It's not his job now, why is he nervous. .

"Vascular quenching technology?"

Research supervisor Mo Qi thought, and focused his eyes on the dean beside him.

After being stared at for a while, the dean realized that the research director was asking him.

He shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of this technology.

"No research and development, the project is added to the research list."

Mo Qi turned around and responded to Gui Yu.

(My glasses broke, I went out to get a new one today, and found that the degree was too high... I have to go to the glasses store to change it tomorrow...)
