Chapter 90 Magical reform is the primary productive force!
Oke's magic workshop, the apprentice's practice room, is buzzing with activity at the moment.
I saw a group of skinny skeleton soldiers gathered around a square wooden table, creaking and shouting something.
Humbling Luo Yan, who followed Oak into the practice room, glanced curiously at the group of skeletons.
I saw what looked like a sewing machine placed on the wooden table. The leather-wrapped flywheel was connected to the pedals and connecting rods under the wooden table.
The player with the ID "Zheng Fangfang" on his head sat in front of the wooden table, carefully moving the granite block in his hand while stepping on the pedal.
In fact, this thing does not look like, but is exactly like a sewing machine.
Brother Zheng previously received an order from the first leather factory in the cemetery, and the demand was to build a pedal-operated sewing machine. He spent two weeks researching this thing, and only the last hooking shuttle had not yet been installed. He thought about it and simply modified the semi-finished machine and used it for inscription engraving.
Facts have proved that this thing is not generally easy to use!
Driven by the railing and flywheel, the needle connected to the spring rod rapidly hits the surface of the granite practice stone at a speed of N times per second. The efficiency is almost as good as manual drilling!
It’s more than that!
Through the spring rod above the needle, you can also adjust the strength of a single impact to match the material to the maximum extent! Avoid hitting too deep or too shallow, as this may break the material!
Hearing a clanging sound, he poked hundreds of dense points on the surface of the practice stone in just a few breaths.
The carving knife gently pulls on the dot matrix, and the dot matrix is immediately connected into a line!
Zheng Fangfang patted the dust on his hands smartly and showed the practice stone in his hand to the other apprentices around him.
Looking at the neatly printed "Hyphen", the onlookers suddenly exclaimed from the bottom of their hearts.
66666!
"Damn brother! You are so good at your craftsmanship!!"
"Is this a modified sewing machine??"
"Brother, how many years have you been sentenced?"
Zheng Fangfang: "Go! You are the one who made the decision! I am a serious man and a serious craftsman!"
Brother Zheng, who was looking at the stars and the moon, took a sip of the chemical pool and felt jealous in his heart. He muttered sourly to the side.
“Don’t forget that this was my idea!”
Obviously, Brother Zheng has forgotten.
But don’t forget that this thing was also designed by him, and it has nothing to do with this old guy who can only call 666.
Seeing everyone staring at the machine in his hand with envy, Brother Zheng, who sensed the business opportunity, also chuckled, and finally showed the fangs hidden behind the smile——
Or human nature.
"Everyone, my homework is done! Who of you still wants to hand in homework? Don't worry, my machine is not expensive. I only charge 1,000 Hades coins for half an hour!"
The so-called homework is the apprentice task assigned by Oak. Each person hands in 10 practice stones every day. After practicing for a week and getting a C or above evaluation, it is considered a pass, and you can move on to the next subject.
If you use this thing, getting all A’s in seven days is not a problem!
The most important thing is to save time!
It is too time-consuming to rub the Mingwen with your hands. If you want to learn a life skill, it will also delay the leveling time. This is something that most scroll masters cannot bear.
But——
1,000 hell coins are too expensive!
Before Brother Zheng could finish his words, he was drowned out by the uproar.
"I wipe it!"
"This is not expensive?!"
"Enough for my good brother to go to the toilet five times!!"
After taking a sip, he clenched his fists in the chemical pool and fanned the flames.
"Damn capitalist!"
Zheng Fangfang stared at the soul fire in his skull and looked at the guy who was calling the thief to catch the thief.
"What the hell?! I'm a capitalist??? Don't be too ridiculous——"
"Brothers! Confiscated for him!"
"Ouch!!!!"
"@#￥&%!"
Confiscation is of course impossible. Regardless of whether the rules of the game allow it, if it is really confiscated, it will only benefit the devil in the end.
Under the booing of a group of people, the farce ended with Brother Zheng making a compromise and changing the hourly fee to a "membership system that covers all tasks."
1,000 Nether Coins for one hour is a bit painful, but 10,000 Nether Coins to complete the mission in one week is acceptable to most players.
Although they are really familiar with how to use this thing, most people can't use it for less than an hour a day, and they might be able to complete the task in half an hour.
In Ork's original plan, it would take these apprentices six hours to complete ten samples...
It was not just the players who were shocked.
There are also two "NPCs" standing at the door.
Watching his apprentice make another finished product, Oak excitedly looked at Luo Yan standing next to him and said with a dance.
"Look! Lord Demon King! You must understand what Oak wants to say! This is simply... simply unbelievable! Your minions... how did they come up with this method?"
To be honest, if there is such a thing as a public screen in this game, Luo Yan can't help but give this old man a "666".
Although this is not a great technology, it is not easy to think of using this technology here, and it is even more difficult to improve it according to local conditions.
He is indeed his minion!
Seeing that Lord Demon King really understood what he meant, the expression on Oke's face became more and more excited, he clenched his fists and said energetically.
"If we have this kind of punching tool... we can further reduce the skill requirements for apprentices! Even the stupidest Goblin can do the job of carving inscriptions! Lord Demon King, Oak strongly suggests that we should get a few more of these!"
Looking at the unseen look on Oak's face, Luo Yan smiled and raised his hand to signal him to calm down.
"Don't worry, Ork, I know the value of this thing, but this is far from the limit of my players."
Ok was stunned for a moment.
「Limit?」
"That's right," Luo Yan nodded and said with a smile, "Didn't you notice? This device looks ingenious, but it is actually just a semi-finished product. It is far from mature, or there are still many areas worthy of improvement."
"Not even a semi-finished product, this thing is not used here at all. It was just modified with a sewing machine.
As for it being of such great use, I'm afraid the players themselves didn't expect it. It can only be said to be a coincidence.
But isn’t this how great inventions are born?
Luo Yan believes that after they taste the benefits of technological improvements, they will definitely devote themselves to the cause of "squeezing the limits of the Calamity OL physics engine" with greater enthusiasm.
There is absolutely no need for him to push for success at this time. He can wait until his small players have developed more mature technologies, and then stand on their shoulders to become bigger and stronger.
Or just leave it to them.
Luo Yan actually doesn't want to go off the field to do this thing himself. There is really no need to be a referee and play football at the same time.
Looking at the calm Demon King, Oak was extremely shocked and said with a look of astonishment.
"Demon, Lord Demon King...have you ever seen a tool more powerful than this?"
“It’s nothing,” Luo Yan said with a smile after glancing at this ignorant guy, “What’s important is not the tools, but the methods and ideas to solve the problem... I asked you to teach them Mingwen, and I also hope that you can learn some of these things from them, and don’t be stubborn. You can't get out of the previous research."
"Although you may not understand what I mean now, I believe you will understand one day."
If that day comes, he will take the opportunity to show off.
If it’s not there, it’s not going to happen. Anyway, it’s not a loss for him.
Oke's serious look on his face changed slightly. He was shocked, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
The devil is above!
The respected Demon King actually cares about himself!
What kind of kindness this is—poof! Evil—no, it doesn’t seem right either?
Ok knocked his insane head in annoyance.
Because he didn't know what adjectives to use to praise the Demon King, he was so moved that he fainted.
Happily, the devil didn't care about his rudeness.
Luo Yan didn't look at this guy from beginning to end. His eyes were always on those smart and hard-working little players.
"I think as long as they are given enough time and appropriate help, they can do more than just improve the carving technology of the Hades. They can even make the Hades automatically produce the Hades... Just wait and see."
While saying this, Luo Yan walked into the practice room from the door.
Looking at the sudden appearance of Lord Demon King, Zheng Fangfang, who was counting the money and couldn't hold his mouth shut, was suddenly startled and subconsciously said with a guilty conscience.
"Demon, Lord Demon King?! Why are you here?"
The player who was stepping on the punching machine raised his head and almost punched a hole in the skull's finger without paying attention.
Seeing a pair of eyes looking towards him, Luo Yan did not go around in circles and said straight to the point with a smile.
"I heard that a strange invention was born in Oak's magic workshop, which can reduce the apprentice's working time from six hours to one hour... Is this the thing?"
Not sure what the Demon King's idea was, Zheng Fangfang nodded nervously and said.
Yes, yes..."
When he said this, he couldn't help but add something in a low voice.
It is this kind of innovative spirit... You have done a good job, and I am very satisfied with it."
The ID became more and more familiar to him. After staring at it carefully for a while, he realized that this guy was not the one who made his own furniture.
Luo Yan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled while appreciating it.
It turns out you can do serious work!
Seeing that Lord Demon King was not here to make trouble with him, Zheng Fangfang immediately smiled sheepishly and turned back into the dull carpenter.
uluo Yan stared at the machine for a while and continued.
"The design of this tool is very interesting...but I'm thinking, why not try to use Hades on it?"
"Dear Demon King! We are planning to do this," he quickly interrupted the topic after taking a sip of the chemical pool, smiling sheepishly. Said, "It's just a pity... As apprentices, we only have training stones to use and cannot enchant this machine. If Mr. Oak can teach us how to imprint Hades on metal, I think this is not a problem!"
When speaking of this, Luo Yan paused for a moment and continued.
"In addition, it's not just about technology. I also have a group of skilled craftsmen here. They happen to have nothing to do, and they might be able to help you."
Hence all the players looked at each other and cast surprised glances at Luo Yan.
Him vaguely guessed something, took a sip of the chemical pool, swallowed the saliva in reality excitedly, and asked in a low voice.
"Artisan? What do you mean..."
"The third floor of the labyrinth, the Mole Man in Iron Fang City."
After saying this concisely, Luo Yan sent the task he had just edited to the taskbar of more than 20 professional players in front of him.
Watching the soul fires burning in his skull gradually becoming filled with excitement, he continued with a pleasant voice.
"Those guys are natural craftsmen, best at polishing metal and stone. They were suspected of working for the dwarves in the Wanren Mountains before, and then they escaped into my territory and just surrendered to me."
"At this time next week, I plan to send Ork there to visit and study, and exchange experiences with the Mole People's engineers on the use of Hades. By the way, let them produce some truly useful things instead of the industrial garbage before. "
"With your understanding and application of Hades, I think it will definitely bring some different inspiration to those little guys. If you are interested, I will let Oak take you to this exchange meeting...as his apprentice."
There is no doubt——
This is a hidden mission!
And it’s a hidden mission exclusive to professional life players!
After listening to the first half of Luo Yan's words, the soul fire in the skulls of all the players present boiled, and they even didn't listen carefully to what someone said in the second half of his words.
"I want it!" The first person to express his stance was still Brother Yiyi. This guy was so excited that he wanted to hold Luo Yan's hand, "Dear Lord Demon King, as your most respected servant, please be sure to give me this glorious and arduous task!"
The voices of all kinds of chatter suddenly filled the entire training room, and a skeleton hand raised in a hurry almost completely blocked Luo Yan's sight.
「Me, me, me!」
"Look at me, the Demon King, too!"
"Lord Demon King, these guys are a bunch of sycophants, and I am the only real loyal minister!"
"You are all my loyal minions, no need to get excited... everyone present has a share."
Luo Yan smiled, raised his hand to signal the excited little players to calm down, and then slowly continued.
"Since you agreed, let's work hard... Oak."
"Here! Lord Demon King!"
Hearing Luo Yan call his name, Oak, who was standing at the door, trotted in quickly and stood aside respectfully waiting for orders.
Luo Yan continued.
"Only those who are truly talented can become your apprentices. I think you can set the requirements appropriately high... Do you understand what I mean? Ten practice stones a day is too simple, and this basic skill is no longer useful, isn't it? You have to examine their creativity."
Oak was stunned.
"Creativity, creativity?"
Luo Yan said with a smile.
"Yes, for example, you can leave your project to them."
"After a pause, he continued.
“Didn’t I ask you to research and improve those war robots driven by ancient inscriptions? In fact, you don’t need to personally design every line of Hades for each part. You can put forward requirements, and then let your apprentices conceive for you, a Hades ‘code’ for a certain function of a certain part.”
“For those who have For apprentices who have contributed, you should reward them with credits and grant them corresponding graduation qualifications after their credits reach your psychological expectations...For example, how about graduate students? "When saying this, Luo Yan did not hide it, but asked Youyou to translate it to the player.
The players who looked at the subtitles were shocked one by one.
What the hell?
This is also okay? !
The degree of freedom in this game is too awesome, right? !
It was not just the players who were shocked, Oak opened his mouth wide in surprise, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Can skeleton soldiers still be used in this way? !
"This... Demon, Lord Demon King, you are really..."
Luo Yan waved his hand calmly.
"There is no need to praise me."
Looking at that calm and gentle appearance, Oke only had respect and admiration in his heart.
As expected of the Demon King——
No wonder Goblin cannot be the Demon King.
