Xia Shan placed the mechanical arm between the furnace and the conveyor belt. She activated the conveyor belt with her magic again, and the mechanical arm began to throw the raw iron ore on the conveyor belt into the furnace.
"The discharge port is here." Xia Shan took a look at the furnace and thought to herself, as expected of a boss.
The furnace that Delicious White Snake threw to Xia Shan was a Master-grade furnace. The surface of the furnace looked like it was made of stone, but the stone surface was covered with a large number of beautiful magical inscriptions. This was a Master-grade furnace that had been upgraded several times. The smelting effect and the yield were at least three times that of an ordinary furnace.
This kind of ordinary iron ore could be smelted into iron in about five seconds … As for why they didn't smelt it into molten iron first before solidifying it into iron ore …
Players didn't have the skill or the patience, so the furnace of a blacksmith player was a mini steel mill that could smelt any kind of ore.
Xia Shan found the discharge port above the furnace that was so luxurious that it made Xia Shan a little blind. At this time, the furnace had already smelted several iron ores. As long as the players forged them, they could be used in the production of equipment.
"Next is this."
Xia Shan then took out a mechanical arm from her backpack and placed it at the discharge port. The mechanical arm accurately grasped the refined piece of metal on the discharge port and placed it on the conveyor belt that Xia Shan had laid out.
Xia Shan placed the conveyor belt on the ground one by one as if she was laying floor tiles. She took a step back with each one she placed. After she retreated about five to six meters, the conveyor belt transported the refined iron ores to the feet of the Leaping Nuclear Guild members.
"This is actually a very common automatic logistics system. It's just that it was modified in the game," Xia Shan said to the Leaping Nuclear Guild members after she was done.
It was indeed modified … Jiang Qiao looked at the starting part of the logistics system, which was the Mining Machine I that Xia Shan had made.
The Mining Machine No.1 drilled its drill into the soil and continuously dug out the raw iron and transported it to the conveyor belt.
If this scene was seen by anyone in the mechanical profession, even those who had a little understanding of machinery would shout, "This is too f * cking unscientific!"
What was even more unscientific was the Conveyor Belt that only needed to be infused with Mana to operate, and the Master Furnace that combined the functions of the steel mill into one. These were all skills that could not be achieved in reality. These were equipment that could only be achieved in the game.
On the other hand, Jiang Qiao could further simplify the process of refining minerals. For example, he could directly spend the energy of creation to create a type of fairy that could spit out the iron after eating the minerals.
However, Jiang Qiao did not plan to do that, as doing so would consume a large amount of Creation Energy. The more powerful Jiang Qiao created in the Saint Spirit World, the more Creation Energy it would consume. On the contrary, the more in line with the laws of reality, the less Creation Energy it would consume.
The amount of Creation Energy Jiang Qiao needed to create such a fairy could be hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times more than Jiang Qiao directly building a steel mill!
Most importantly, it would not be fun anymore.
A smile appeared on Jiang Qiao's face as he looked at Xia Shan, who was a little nervous in the distance, and the people of the Leaping Nuclear Guild.
As a game planner, Jiang Qiao had to strike a balance between gameplay and reality. The furnace was the best example. The steps of smelting iron were not as complicated as in reality, but the omitted steps would not make the blacksmith players feel bored while smelting iron.
And this logistics system of Xia Shan perfectly reflected Jiang Qiao's philosophy.
Jiang Qiao could see the eyes of the people of the Leaping Nuclear Guild … when they saw Xia Shan's logistics system, it was not the look of "amazing" or "as expected of a god" that could not be more flattered, but … they wanted to play!
"Sister … Sister Evergreen, do you still have these conveyor belts and mechanical arms?" Mama Has Dog's voice was trembling with excitement.
It was as excited as a big boy who found out he could sit in a Lamborghini sports car!
Being pretentious was one thing, and the other was finding such an interesting … toy.
It was really interesting, a fully automated logistics system for alchemy engineers.
The moment they saw this logistics system, they realized that there were many interesting things that could be done with it.
It was the same as when they saw the construction system of the stronghold. The emotion that gushed out from their hearts was … I must use this system to build a big house.
And now, their thought should be … I must use these conveyor belts and mechanical arms to build a huge factory.
It was probably this simple thought that gave them such an impulse.
"Do you know how difficult it is to build a fully automated logistics system in the real world?" Jiang Qiao said to Hai Lan who was floating beside him.
"Ah?
I don't know, but it must be expensive, right?
Electricity is very expensive. "
Hai Lan could not answer Jiang Qiao because the milk beside Jiang Qiao did not increase the price, thinking that Jiang Qiao was talking to her.
"Electricity?
Yes, it is expensive, but there is also the research and development of the equipment, logistics management, machine control, and a series of difficult things that people do not want to do. But there is none of that here. "
Jiang Qiao said as he looked at the players who surrounded Xia Shan.
"There is only fun here, fun about how interesting it is to build a fully automated logistics system."
"She left." Hai Lan could finally join in the conversation. Now, Jiang Qiao was bursting with a sense of accomplishment.
To Jiang Qiao, it was nothing. He shouted to the players, "Shut up and take my money!
I want to play with this thing! "and felt even more accomplished.
"This girl took the initiative to be a manager."
Jiang Qiao ran all the way to Xia Shan's side when he saw that the healer did not increase the price. He separated the excited members of the Leaping Nucleus Guild.
Xia Shan was also a little confused. A group of bosses suddenly walked towards her with an expression of "give me one to play with". Any newbie would be flustered.
"One by one!
One by one! "The milk did not increase the price.
"How many of these machines do you have?" Mo Shigui ignored the milk did not increase the price and directly asked Xia Shan.
Xia Shan's logistics system directly freed up their mining labor. Every day, they only needed to hack and they could get an unlimited amount of minerals, provided that they killed enough monsters on the island.
"If it's the caterpillar tracks, I have an unlimited number of them. This is a blueprint given to me when I was an alchemy engineer apprentice. I also have five or six mechanical arms, but as for the automatic mining machine, I only have two." Xia Shan said.
"That's it!"
The milk did not increase the price. When she heard Xia Shan's words, she immediately snapped her fingers in excitement. She thought that Xia Shan would be stupid enough to say, "It's okay!
You can make as many as you want. "
The rarer something was, the greater its value. If there weren't many mining machines, then the price would naturally go up.
"The mining machine's construction process is a little troublesome. Even if I register it on the blueprint, the success rate is only 12%, so I have to rely on myself to assemble it."
Xia Shan said, "The mechanical arms are much simpler. If you use the blueprint, there's a 50% success rate."
Blueprints were indeed a labor-saving construction method, but the more complex a custom-made work was, the lower the probability of using blueprints to replicate it. Because Xia Shan was poor, she rarely used blueprints to replicate.
"Why don't you sell us two mining machines first?" Mo Shigui said.
"How can we do two!
Guild leader, give us ten. We want to play with this logistics system too. "
"Then you guys go and change your class to alchemy engineer!"
"That's true. There's still time to change your class now, guild leader!
I'm going back to Lionheart City. "
"I'm going back too."
"Other people's mining machines and mechanical arms are self-made!
Do you even have the brains to do that? "Someone in the guild shouted at the restless members.
These combat players who were miners might not be able to adapt to this kind of construction game.
"Sell?"
This was Xia Shan's first time selling anything in an online game. She used to be an autistic construction player. Although she could communicate with people, a merchant class didn't suit her.
"It's time for me to negotiate the price. Guild leader next door, you have a good eye."
"What's your budget?" Jiang Qiao appeared from the other side and asked, interrupting Not Increasing the Price.
"… …"
When Jiang Qiao mentioned the budget, Mo Shigui's face darkened. He was immersed in the excitement and surprise of the mining machine and logistics system, and forgot about a very important matter.
Although he was the guild leader of Viva Core, he didn't have much money. The guild's assets were all public. After all, Viva Core was a business organization called the Club.
"Oh right!
Sister Evergreen, let's go talk to the guild leader of Coke Mania. "
Not Increasing the Price was reminded by Jiang Qiao. At this time, it was better to look for a tycoon.
"I … I just want materials." Xia Shan didn't listen to Not Increasing the Price and took the initiative to make a suggestion.
"Sure!
What materials do you want? "
Mo Shigui agreed without hesitation. Money … was not something he could control, but the materials in the guild were not a problem. He could use it to train Xia Shan, although Xia Shan was in Jiang Qiao's guild.
Mo Shigui was also looking forward to Xia Shan, or … what other strange things this game could create.
