275 The Industrialization of Ship Girls

Industrialization is not a simple matter, at least in a place like the Magical World where the population is sparse but where the production capacity of a single person is overwhelming, it is difficult to create a demand for industrialization. ?

, this kind of thing cannot be learned simply by looking at it, so even if the goblins can imitate the modern financial industry of the ordinary people's world, they still cannot handle the content related to industrialized production.

The situation of the ship girls is just the opposite. As their prototypes, the warships were the highest expression of the industrialization of various countries at that time, so they have a certain love for industry in their bones.

So after thoroughly understanding the technology of this earth-core furnace, the ship girls added a lot of industrial features when creating their own magic furnace.

"This is why we are more efficient." Soviet Union raised his head slightly and said with a proud expression, "Compared to the other party's Renaissance-style workshop, ours is much better here."

To give the simplest example, compared to the goblins' situation where manual experience plays a large role, the production of this furnace is obviously much simpler. It only needs to be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations, and there is no need for a master to watch.

Of course, because of magic. There is also a flaw in modern industrialized factories like Ship Girls, which is that they can only produce products of average quality under mass production, and it is difficult to produce high-quality products like goblins.

But this flaw is not irreparable, at least they can produce that kind of high-quality fairy silver in small batches to meet everyone's high-end needs.

"These are some of the broom parts we produced." After visiting the core furnace, the Soviet Union took Hugo and the others to a factory next door.

Unlike the previous smelting plant, this is a mechanical processing plant. Under the control of each magic core, more than a dozen machines driven by magic constructs turned the metal ingots just produced into parts one after another.

"The powerful functions on our brooms can be realized by relying on these structures made of fairy silver or plated with fairy silver." After reaching the end of the assembly line, the Soviet Union picked up an alchemical part plated with fairy silver. Speaking of.

"And as we use the Earth Core Furnace, we are gradually summarizing the rules and trying to extend the technology of smelting fairy silver to other magic metals."

"This test consumed a lot of our profits, because many breakthroughs in materials science need to be based on trial and error. Fortunately, we made a breakthrough three days ago."

With that said, the Soviet Union took Hugo and the others along a passage and soon came to the edge of a gate. When the door opened, a slightly chaotic scene appeared in front of Hugo.

What appeared in front of him was a huge underground space, with a large number of robots expanding the base under the command of Sverdlov.

And if you stretch your sight into the distance, you can see that this base of yours is built in a series of natural underground spaces. It is a standard underground base.

"What's over there?" Hugo pointed curiously at the darkness not far from the base where the light couldn't reach. With the help of a little bit of light, Hugo discovered that there seemed to be a forest growing there.

"Mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms." Soviet Union snapped his fingers and directed a searchlight to sweep towards the shadow. As bright light shone on the shadow, Hugo finally saw clearly what the shadow was.

This is a jungle composed of various fungi, lichens and other creatures. Countless mushrooms and lichens of different sizes and colors cover every part from the ground to the roof of the cave.

In addition to these immobile creatures, there are also some insects and even reptiles that have adapted to local life and survive in the mushroom jungle.

For example, Hugo's enhanced vision saw a python as thick as a human arm coiled around a lichen-covered stone pillar.

"This place has its own ecological circle. We have only initially determined that there is no danger there, so we plan to wait until the next round of construction is completed before I go to the forest to investigate and see what is available."

"Very good." Hugo nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the construction site and asked. "What is being constructed at this construction site?"

"We plan to build a factory for smelting and processing magic bronze." The Soviet Union pointed to the construction site and said, "This magic bronze is also called orichalcum or orichagan. It is the first magic metal created by humans. .”

"Three days ago, we finally figured out the industrial production method of magic bronze, so we plan to build a new workshop to realize the industrial production of this magic metal."

"Compared with Fairy Silver, Magic Bronze is not as versatile, and its data is also quite different in many aspects. But the advantage is that the output is larger and the cost is lower, which is more conducive to the mass production of many items."

"That sounds really good." Hugo nodded.

At this time, a space door opened in front of a warehouse not far away, and then Quincy walked out of the space door carrying a large bag. "Quin——" After seeing Hugo, Quincy immediately raised his hand and greeted him.

"Ah, it's Quincy." Looking at Quincy, whose mouth was bulging as if he was eating something, Hugo walked up and said hello, and then looked at the suitcase Quincy was holding.

It can be seen from the badge on the suitcase that it is an Ilvermorny student suitcase with a space expansion spell cast inside.

After all, the Ministry of Magic in various countries now has strict control over space expansion spells, so unless you take a certain risk to create similar magic props, the only legal channel is to buy some second-hand suitcases that have been eliminated by various schools.

In order to avoid unnecessary attention from others, the ship girls naturally chose this path. Quincy's current task is to use the second-hand space equipment he bought to transport some supplies.

"The new batch of broomsticks have arrived." After Quincy shouted to the Soviet Union several times, the Soviet Union nodded subconsciously, and then said to Hugo.

"They will be trimmed, polished and assembled with metal parts here, and then sent back to the United States for final assembly."

After listening to the Soviet Union's explanation, Hugo realized that these ship girls had followed the path of international large-scale division of labor from the beginning, in order to achieve the highest production efficiency and the lowest cost.

"Wizards have their own special advantages in this regard." After waving his hand for Quincy to enter the base, the Soviet Union explained to Hugo.

"For ordinary people, the biggest problem in international mass production is the time and cost required for transportation, but in this regard, wizards have special advantages that are incomparable."

"Whether it is the international floo network, long-distance apparation with the help of islands, or containers with space expansion spells, they can reduce the transportation cost of various items to a very low level."

"And this method is also conducive to confidentiality." The company continued. "You know, this kind of production cannot be done by us alone, so we naturally have many recruited wizard workers."

"Although we have the ability and means to ensure that these wizards will not leak our secrets, compared to our special abilities, the most important thing is if we can use the system to avoid that type of leakage."
