Indeed, Gao Wen was impressed by this iron ball star's ability to transform metal forms at an extremely fast speed, and at first he was indeed amazed at the high efficiency of this guy when processing metal parts, but soon he realized that his accuracy was probably a greater asset than this processing speed.

Speed ​​is nothing. Gao Wen knows this well. Although the processing speed of Nicholas eggs can scare everyone on the scene, Gao Wen knows very well that in the real industrial production model, even if the individual speed is amazing, it is meaningless. Is it very fast to process a hundred parts in a few minutes? It is indeed faster than the blacksmith's hammer, but in the industrial era, if you take a few production lines casually, this processing speed will be immediately recognized by those mothers who exploded by machines!

Although Gao Wen can't take a photo of a production line casually now, he already has a magic engine prototype. He believes that one day he will take a photo of the production line with a wave of his hand. Sooner or later, the efficiency advantage of Nicholas egg will become a popular person after more and more machines are put into production. However, his other advantage is not so easy to be replaced by machines. At least compared with his efficiency, this advantage will be replaced by a slower one.

His accuracy.

The parts he "pinched" with scraps were not made at will. Gao Wen could see at a glance that they were actually reduced versions of some exposed parts on the magic engine prototype, and the exquisiteness of each part was far from comparable to those blacksmith's handmade products, and the metal sculptures were even made of hair... Is this a terrible thing!

"Accuracy?" Nicholas Egg seemed to realize something. He thought about it carefully and answered confidently, "It depends on how many things are processed at the same time. If you make one hundred at a time, there will definitely be a lot of errors. But if you only process single-digit parts at a time, and if you let me process them slowly... the error is about dozens of times thinner than your hair. Of course, the specific speed depends on the complexity and volume of the parts, but in my opinion, the most complex parts in the machine you make are also very simple."

Gao Wen: "?!"

The metal ball didn't hear Gao Wen's movement for a long time, and couldn't help but float over and touch the latter's arm: "Hey, why don't you speak?"

"I'll leave the first generation of industrial machine tools to you!"

"ha?"

Gao Wen did not explain much to the other party because his heart was completely filled with excitement and he could hardly do anything else.

Yes, the first generation of industrial machine tools, or the so-called "working mother machine", is the most important part that allows the entire industrial chain to be established. Instead of letting Nicholas eggs make large quantities and repeated production of mass-produced parts, it should allow him to give full play to the advantages of accuracy and efficiency, and to manufacture the working mother machine that can be used to produce other machine components in the shortest time, whether it is a machine tool that can process parts or a "rune drawing machine" that carves simple runes in batches, only by making these things can he tie his foundation to the surging power provided by the magic engine, and save the confidence to fight before the weak wall opposite the mountain is finished!

At this time, he even felt a little regretful. Why didn’t he realize the talent of this metal ball earlier and let him directly participate in the development of the magic engine prototype, this day might have arrived earlier.

But he did not let this regret last for too long, because before seeing it with his own eyes today, who would have thought that this metal ball could have such a strong control over metal? To be honest, Gao Wen even suspected that Nicholas Egg didn't even think about it...

And there is another point, he was not overwhelmed by the ability of Nicholas Egg: This iron ball star is a special individual, an unreplicable and non-renewable individual, and under any circumstances, it is extremely irrational to press the entire system on one individual. It is very good to be able to process the first generation of industrial machine tools, but what if there is an accident? What if there is no control over a certain key metal material? What if there is an accident? What if there is a certain unique device with this world characteristic cannot be made of metal?

So Gao Wen quickly calmed down and realized that Mr. Nicholas Egg (or Miss? Is this a man or a woman) might be the biggest help he has encountered so far, but he cannot rely entirely on the other party.

He still has to ensure that ordinary people participate throughout the process of building an industrial foundation.

So he looked at the anxious old blacksmiths and rune craftsmen and nodded slightly: "Don't worry that your craftsmanship is useless in the future will always be short of people. At most, your working methods will change a little bit."

Then he looked at Nicholas Egg again: "Would you like to be my mechanical manufacturing supervisor?"

Nicholas Egg answered neatly: "Well, why don't you find something to do?"

"Okay, you'll be responsible for helping me build the machines. I'll give you some drawings and processing tasks soon. You can try to get those things out as soon as possible. Considering the convenience of materials, this shed next to the steel plant will be used for you. In addition, your first task is to build three more magic engines, which I want to use in key places such as mines and steel plants."

Although Gao Wen positioned Nicholas eggs as the "working mother machine maker", at this stage, the latter still had the best efforts to help expand the scale of those mass-produced machines. Based on the principle that people can use the ball as much as possible, Gao Wen arranged a lot of production tasks for the ball without hesitation.

The other party looked quite happy...

Looking at the energetic Nicholas egg, Gao Wen gradually calmed down.

With such a time travel egg of the stubborn level, if he doesn't consider social forms but only considers some technology trees, he thinks that he can do it without leaping development, and leap-forward development...

But in such a pleasant mood, he keenly noticed that the old blacksmith Hammer standing in the corner was still slightly dark on his face.

But Gao Wen did not persuade him in the end.

After all, Hammer is an old blacksmith, an old blacksmith who has been dealing with hammers and anvils for decades. He believes in his own hammers and is very proud, just like a knight believes in his swords and martial arts. However, an iron ball star, a "metal master" who is born to control metals, suddenly appeared, completely defeating the confidence of this old blacksmith.

This may not be a fatal blow, because before the Nicholas Egg appeared, there was already a profession of "dwarf craftsman" in this world that was far superior to human blacksmiths. Hammer was not stimulated by an individual who crushed himself by "craftsmanship". What really made this blacksmith feel heavy was probably because he had already vaguely realized the future.

With machines driving sledgehammers, the future where human power is becoming increasingly small, it seems to be nowhere to go.

Hammer has a rare keenness among ordinary people of this era.

But what can Gao Wen say now? Tell Hammer to adapt to his identity as the "steel leader" as soon as possible, stop thinking about his blacksmith career, or tell the other party that the craftsmen will not completely decline, even in another highly developed industrialized world, blacksmiths will have an unshakable survival soil? It is too early to tell Hammer this.

I hope he can adapt to the changes in this world soon, because faster changes will come soon.

Gao Wen sighed in his heart, then broke the silence: "The newly formed department needs a name, so it is temporarily called Cecil Machinery Manufacturing Institute. Nicholas Egg, you are the mechanical supervisor and the first director, and you are on par with Hammer, who serves as the steel supervisor. In addition, you can select some of the hundreds of craftsmen as long-term assistants, but the list must be handed over to me for review."

"Okay, someone helps, it's still faster than me to complete the full set of processing with one ball. They can help assemble it." Nicholas' egg floated up and down for a while, agreeing.

On the way to leaving the machinery manufacturing facility, Hedy frequently looked at Gao Wen.

"What's wrong?" Gao Wen asked her curiously.

"Nothing, it's just that you're so happy," Hetty smiled warmly. "You're always serious and stern, but you've smiled a lot today."

Gao Wen was shocked: "Am I usually very serious?"

He thought that his usual psychological activities were actually quite intense, and he had been trained with Amber all day long. Until now, he was almost a semi-professional supporting actor. Although he did not often lose his ancestor's majesty, he was not as stern as a person, right?

But unexpectedly, Hetty nodded seriously: "You may not notice it, but your usual expression is really serious."

Gao Wen immediately touched his hairline with some concern, then touched his chin, thinking: "There are problems with the national face and beard..."

"ah?"

Gao Wen waved his hand immediately: "No, nothing."

Hetty had a lot of internal affairs to deal with next, so she said goodbye to Gao Wen halfway. Seeing Hetty's figure gradually disappear from sight, Gao Wen's face gradually restrained his joy and a hint of seriousness appeared.

Instead of returning to his tent directly, he turned a little on the road and came to a wooden house located southwest of the camp.

This wooden house is a circle larger than the surrounding houses. There are large nurseries in front and behind the house. There are a variety of plants growing in the nursery, most of which are medicinal materials with various functions, while the remaining half are more common. After processing, they can be used as a spell casting material.

The specialness of this wooden house can be judged from the nursery alone.

This is the druid Pittman's residence and the place where he works. Although people seem to be quite unreliable, the residence and studio are quite stylish.

Gao Wen came to the wooden house and saw a sign hanging on the door, with a few lines written in the words "Flying Dragon and Flying Phoenix":

Pittman Pharmacy Store sells all kinds of herbs and finished alchemy potions, sells druid amulets, transport accessories, part-time antique identification, divination (studying), professional lock opening, lock repair, roof repair, and home chef (you can take your children by the way, not for the age of three).

Gao Wen looked at the wooden sign with a blank expression, and his heart was not at all disturbed.

The old man knew that the illiterate civilian couldn't understand the words on the signboard, but he still hanged the thing at the door unswervingly. This could only be explained as a personal hobby?

Gao Wen shook his head and reached out to knock on the door, but the wooden door had already opened from inside before his hand was about to touch the door leaf.

Pittman's wrinkled face appeared in his sight: "Ah, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Gao Wen was stunned: "Do you know I'm coming?"

Has this old boy really learned divination?

As a result, Pittman shook his head: "I just lie down at the window and saw you walking here."
