On the new moon (January) of the year DCCXXXII (732) of the Aran calendar, the great magician Guybrash Tripwood tried to ignite the divine fire and shape the divine throne, but failed.
In the same year and month, the artifact Xuanwu Silk Robe was born.
The birth of this robe can be described as earth-shattering. But when I actually saw it, no one recognized it.
Generally, magic equipment wildly exudes its unique sense of oppression, hoping that others can feel it from a distance, or else they will kneel down in front of this sense of oppression.
Perhaps because of someone's wretched character, the Xuanwu silk robe is quite restrained, so restrained that no one can feel its existence.
The math class on the day of the incident was taught by a lich. Everyone in the class was already mentally prepared. Maybe the teacher would miss a few more classes to let them experience the lich's beating again. But on the second day of class, Lin quietly stood on the podium using the flash technique.
Now that people are here, even though their appearance has changed a lot, mathematics knowledge cannot deceive people, so just listen to the class with peace of mind. It wasn't until the end of today's class and the lecturer left that the magicians noticed something was wrong.
First of all, when did the person leave? Also, what is the robe on that person?
The clothes of the previous magician were no different from rags in the eyes of a group of senior magicians. However, this time, the dark robe also did not feel any power, but it had a strange feeling that would absorb all the senses of everyone into it.
Compared to magic equipment that displays a sense of oppression, the one on someone's body is a rarer piece of work. Of course, it may also be a misjudgment by everyone. So in the math class on the third day, someone close to me made a request to take a closer look at the robe.
It was a piece of magic equipment, and it might not be noticeable from a distance, but after touching it with your hands, no one would question it. But the most shocking thing is that it is a magic equipment made of silk!
Silk is one of the finest fabrics in Midland. But what makes magicians dissatisfied is that silk cannot be made into magic equipment and become their self-defense and daily wear. But the magician in front of him seemed to have broken this restriction and made a set of magic equipment made of silk.
This of course aroused everyone's curiosity and inquiries, but Lin just smiled and said nothing.
He has no plans to announce this technology. Other technologies that were forced or voluntarily disclosed were more or less epoch-making knowledge that could change the course of the world, but magic silk was just a simple luxury product. Even if it is made public, only a small number of people will benefit; how most people live is how they live, regardless of whether there is silk or not.
Strictly speaking, coffee can also be considered such an item. But at that time, I did not have the strength to protect this knowledge, and I also wanted to use the power of others to promote the coffee drinking culture. This gives you the opportunity to drink coffee grown and brewed by others no matter where you go. Judging from subsequent performance, although it is not as popular as on Earth, this purpose can be considered a success.
However, the magic version of silk does not have such a requirement. Lin doesn't need to rely on promoting the production process of magic version of silk so that he can wear good clothes all the time, he only needs to make the quantity he needs. Clothes are not consumables like coffee and must be replenished from time to time.
Even if others guess the method of silk production from their own behavior of raising magic moths, they would have to study it to perfect the entire production process, let alone catch up with their current progress. A large part of the success of this silk robe is due to the experience of the earth.
As for the magicians in the lost land, they don't care if they have a way to find a different silk road. Since the emergence of silk in the Mysterious Land, magicians and non-magicians have made little effort in this area, and no one has succeeded. It is impossible to find a breakthrough path from yourself without paying a huge price.
However, the popularity of this robe only lasted for a short period of time. Magicians are pragmatic after all, and not everyone will pursue luxury.
What's more, if something good appeared in history and everyone wanted to ask how to make it, then no one would have invented or created it long ago. Of course, the more reason not to do this is that those unique creations that can leave a name in history cannot be copied. It may be an extremely rare material, or it may be an unnoticed coincidence in the production process.
Since it cannot be copied, and it is impossible to snatch it from a magician who is the best at escaping, then the unnecessary thoughts will gradually make everyone forget such a thing. Anyway, there are a lot of good things in Mi Di. When I see the best ones, I want to grab them and collect them. To be honest, a few lives are not enough to die, because there are so many ruthless people in Mi Di.
However, this matter will still be recorded by the magicians who are paying attention to Lin. Whether you are dealing with a magician or giving an evaluation to a magician, the magic equipment he possesses is also a very important reference indicator. The more exposed, the more likely it is that you can find a weakness and master or kill the man.
But what really made everyone's attention move from that black robe to other places was a major event that caused a sensation in the holy city of Estali. The Grand Duke of Kavi of the Gwana Empire, in conjunction with the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, set up an automobile manufacturing and R&D center outside District VI of the Holy City, and openly recruited all magicians or craftsmen with skills and skills in the Holy City.
The two major forces themselves had manpower, and they came to the Holy City along with funds and deacons in charge. Of course, the people from the two major forces will not be some crooked person, but they themselves also have secret projects in progress and will not send out the top personnel from their respective forces. Instead, idle staff, as well as people whose affairs at hand are not that important, are sent to this project that both leaders attach great importance to.
It is a pity that this group of people originally thought that they were tigers from the mountain, and the only objects they had to pay attention to were the manpower sent by the other force. But the first day they arrive, they are taught how to behave.
Midi uses magical materials to make items. The three major artifacts are: hammer, ruler and shaping. With these three treasures, everything will go wrong.
However, the automobile manufacturing and R&D center established by Lin and the other two major forces aims at ordinary materials. Although the magic shaping technique can work, after losing the power supply, it will return to its original state at best, and collapse directly at worst. untie. Therefore, those magic methods are of no use and can only be found through the most basic casting process.
A certain person who took the lead originally did not plan to put too much effort into this research and development center, including the four silver-bearded dwarves. However, basic planning still needs to be given to prevent those who are confused from going astray.
Regardless of whether they actually blazed their own path, that would be a waste of someone's Earth experience. Faced with the trend of lost land where all previous knowledge no longer applies, if someone wants to dominate the development of this center again, he will have to put in more effort. In order to recover the crooked parts, of course some losses will inevitably occur and time will be wasted. It is not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.
To limit the development direction of the upcoming high-level talents, someone's approach is to directly help them create machine tools. Just like the development of the earth's manufacturing industry, in addition to the advancement of manufacturing technology, it is also limited by what machine tools can do.
Most of the technology accumulation is based on the existing machine tools, slowly improving and progressing slowly, and there is rarely a big leap forward development. In other words, as long as Lin provides easy-to-use tools and machines first, the subsequent development direction will not go too far.
Stamping machines, lathes, and drilling machines are the three major machine tools Lin chooses. In this way, coupled with the existing traditional tools in Midi, it should be possible to do most of the things that Earth's industry in the early 20th century could do.
Especially for the three major machine tools, thanks to the maturity of the P language program, Lin directly used the CNC version of the machine tool instead of the traditional machine tool that requires a master's touch. The advantage of this is that by designing the process and entering the correct parameters, you can easily achieve the requirement of 'mass copying', instead of burning incense and hoping that the scrap rate will automatically decrease.
In order to control these CNC machine tools, Lin even handed over his own industrial drawing software that was different from the Earth version. Although I have used software such as AutoCAD, I don't know how that thing is related to creating horizontal links. The lost version is nothing more than something made according to one's own imagination and needs.
Even in the technical guild organized by Uzov Gantia, the craftsmen inside could only get the final exploded view of the design to verify that the parts they made did not conform to the original design. But what Lin plans to hand over to the automobile manufacturing and R&D center is software including drawing, calculation and presentation.
The 'old masters' who came to defeat the two major forces were the operators of machine tools. As long as the three functions of stamping, cutting, and drilling are explained, no one can't understand them. But when it comes to program control and industrial design, it's like giving an iPhone to a caveman and telling them how to use the APP.
The people sent by Grand Duke Kawei and Nguyen Van Viet of the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce are certainly not incompetent, and at the same time they are loyal to their respective forces. But if they could flexibly use the latest programming technology, drawing software related to programming languages and mathematics, a group of magicians who were complacent after knowing simple algebra operations were dumbfounded on the spot.
In any case, a certain person is considered one of the three bosses of the R&D center. It is impossible for him to criticize his subordinates when they meet, and just say "you are all rubbish" to a large group of people. But it is impossible to open another machine tool teaching class to teach people with no basic knowledge step by step until they can operate the machine and improve the procedures, so we can only find a way.
