Emperor of Arcane

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of forging hammers colliding was rumbling.

The red iron block was kneaded and played with at will, and then hammered and forged into a designed curved iron plate.

Then, the slender mechanical arm, under the control of the staff, took out the red iron plate and placed it under the huge punch.

The special hammer hit the red iron plate again and again.

Jumping sparks scattered in all directions.

The iron plate was randomly smashed into dents, completing the preliminary shaping process.

The entire forging and stamping process only lasted 30 seconds.

Pieces of chest armor whose outlines can already be seen were produced along the production line.

There are 12 processes behind it, including rough calibration, fine calibration, grinding, annealing, fine grinding, quenching and polishing.

The entire production process takes no more than 8 hours and is completed within one working cycle.

He stroked the silver-white breastplate in shock, judging from the Wild Hammer's hundreds of years of experience in forging iron.

This breastplate is of average quality and can be made by any dwarf blacksmith.

However, the cycle time for a dwarf blacksmith to make a qualified breastplate is at least about 7 days.

The training of a dwarf blacksmith requires more than 10 years of learning.

The current production line can produce 100 breastplates every day, which is equivalent to the work of 700 dwarf blacksmiths.

Moreover, the maintenance of the machinery is relatively simple. As long as there are sufficient raw materials, they can produce day and night, driven by the magic channel.

In terms of work efficiency, it can reach 3 times that of ordinary dwarf blacksmiths.

There are three such production lines in the entire military factory put into production.

Moreover, two more are under construction and are expected to be put into production in half a month.

By then, the military factory will be able to produce 50,000 high-quality breastplates every month.

It is equivalent to the work of 30,000 dwarf blacksmiths.

Feeling a little unbelievable, Wildhammer stared at the scenes of the large mechanical devices working, listening to the clanging sound of steel colliding, and murmured to himself:

"This place is already comparable to half the production capacity of the Royal Forge in Glory City."

"Did it really only take nine months from construction to putting it into use?"

The development was so fast that even the old village chief Field, who was in it and experienced its changes from beginning to end, felt as if he was in a dream.

However, this did not prevent the old village chief Field from praising the lord, with extra pride in his tone:

"Yes, the Lord ordered it to be built nine months ago."

"At that time, we only had about 20 blacksmiths recruited from other places, and the rest were apprentices who had never had any experience."

"With the vigorous development of the Lord, the Gulf Leading Factory already has 5,000 staff members and 32 senior blacksmiths."

"The military factory will start a new round of expansion plan. It is expected that the number of employees will reach 10,000 by the end of the year."

"By then, even if you need more weapons and equipment, our military factory will be able to meet the production needs."

"..."

For the confidence in Ralph's butler's tone.

Wildhammer, who had inspected many territories and forces in order to request support, felt a sense of envy for no reason.

Once upon a time, human beings who had not yet established an empire worked hard to learn various forging and smelting techniques from the dwarf kingdom.

Now, although the population of the Dwarf Kingdom has increased, its sphere of influence is much smaller than before.

Even now, the Dwarf Kingdom is even asking for help from the Netheril Empire. Such a drastic gap makes Wildhammer fall into deep contemplation.

He inspected the various weapons and equipment produced, and then carefully observed the workers who had not noticed just now.

Just by observing, Wildhammer quickly discovered the difference between them and the dwarves.

Not only are they very serious, but they also take the initiative to discuss together and try to constantly come up with more improvement methods.

It seems that these workers are doing more than they should.

After thinking about it for a while, Wildhammer got the answer from Butler Ralph.

"They are really learning, researching, improving technology, and everyone wants to work hard."

"Any technical improvements that have been verified can earn them at least hundreds of gold coins in rewards."

"The Lord's request to the workers is that everyone should work hard to improve their skills and knowledge..."

Magic is the primary productive force!

However, magic is just one type of technology!

Improving magic is the same as improving other technologies, for the development of better productivity.

Wildhammer silently looked at the workers on each production line, and then suddenly remembered.

The forging skills of dwarf craftsmen are steadily improving.

The dedication of countless forging masters has indeed brought the dwarves' forging technology to a peak.

But even the lava castle with the most outstanding forging technology.

The way they produce weapons and equipment, most of the processes still use manpower.

Moreover, even most dwarf forging masters keep their respective skills secret and basically only pass them on to their descendants or blood relatives.

Wildhammer didn't want to force others to make it difficult for all the blacksmith masters to make their skills public, because his own family also did the same.

However, after seeing the Gulf Territory's attitude towards technology and knowledge, Wildhammer felt uncomfortable in his heart.

In fact, what Wildhammer didn't know was that these workers in the military factory who worked hard to learn and grow were not just an exception.

This is true throughout the Gulf Territory.

Staff in each position can receive very generous rewards as long as they work hard to learn new knowledge and techniques and develop techniques to improve work efficiency.

Today, the average salary for each job in the Gulf Territory has reached 50 silver coins per month with the improvement of technology and productivity.

In the Gulf Territory, prices for basic supplies such as food and clothing are low.

Cereals cost 1 copper coin per catty, pork cost 3 copper coins per catty, fish cost 2 copper coins per catty, and vegetables cost 2 copper coins per catty.

For one silver coin, a family of six could cook meat and fish for three days.

What's more, jobs in the Bay Area generally provide lunch and dinner.

Therefore, even if one person works, the whole family can live comfortably.

Not to mention, in addition to the basic income every year, you can also receive bonuses that are 1 to 2 times the basic income based on your performance at work.

And for every approved technical improvement, you can get at least 100 gold coins as a reward.

It’s equivalent to what everyone earns after 10 years of hard work!

This makes everyone in the Gulf Territory very motivated!

The improvement of technology is the eternal pursuit of Gulf Territory!

Especially under the stimulation of factory expansion, job expansion and huge orders.

The entire Gulf Territory was like a prepared production machine, starting to operate rapidly.

As time goes by, this machine will become larger and larger, run faster and faster, and become more and more efficient.
