Chapter 545: The Efficiency of Goblin Technology
Luo Ji’s Myriad World Civilization continued its rapid development.
Good news arrived one after another.
First, the Grand Opera House in Mirror City was officially completed.
Following that, the two relay stations on the Grassland Road were also finished.
The emergence of the goblin construction team had undoubtedly caused their Myriad World Civilization’s development speed to skyrocket.
It also greatly relieved Director He, the head of the Architectural Engineering Department.
However, at the same time, a strange sense of competitiveness was ignited within him.
After completing the construction in the wolf tribe, even before Luo Ji could say anything, he proactively requested to continue with the construction of Azure Water Lake City.
How could Luo Ji refuse such a diligent Director He?
He swiftly approved the request with a stroke of his brush.
In short, Azure Water Lake City’s construction project was handed over to the human construction team.
As for the newly completed goblin construction team, Luo Ji naturally had plenty of tasks for them.
His Myriad World Civilization needed construction everywhere.
A construction team without work assignments? That was impossible!
Luo Ji immediately issued an order, reassigning the goblin construction team that had been building relay stations to the three grassland cities.
He had previously mentioned expanding the territory on the grasslands.
In this context, establishing a fourth branch city was, of course, the simplest method.
But at the same time, Luo Ji felt that the original three cities should also undergo a certain degree of expansion.
Thus, without a doubt, they would be very busy.
As for the goblin construction team that had been responsible for the Grand Opera House, Luo Ji gave them the blueprints to build a Golden-tier Ancient Nursing Home.
For now, only one Golden-tier Grand Opera House was needed to expand the opera’s influence.
Other cities could take their time.
However, the Nursing Home was a building that affected the recovery speed and chances of patients within the civilization.
For a civilization, this was undoubtedly an incredibly important building.
Such an important building clearly needed to be established in every city under his command.
Evidently, this goblin construction team would also be very busy.
Without exaggeration, the backlog of work in Luo Ji’s Myriad World Civilization was enough to keep them occupied for the next 6 months.
The diligent labor of the goblin construction workers naturally caused Luo Ji’s goblin points to accumulate rapidly.
The initial development and allocation of goblin civilization points had already been discussed and researched by Luo Ji and Gawain.
The plan was to first level up goblin technology to Tier 3 and then unlock the Goblin Engineer special unit!
This initial strategy remained unchanged.
At the same time, the fragile, low-cost versions of large-scale military equipment, which were the biggest feature of goblin technology, officially went into production.
Of course, to avoid being scammed, Luo Ji didn’t order too many at once.
The plan was to first have the goblin armament manufacturers build ten Three-Bow Bed Crossbows according to the blueprints.
Then, they would conduct a unified test.
The goblins, with their maxed-out technological prowess, worked incredibly efficiently.
After all, when their goblin civilization went to war, they often deployed dozens of large-scale military machines.
A mere ten large-scale military machines were just a small project for them.
Upon receiving news that the ten Three-Bow Bed Crossbows were completed, Luo Ji rushed to the testing ground outside the city, filled with surprise.
By now, most of the goblins skilled in manufacturing military equipment had been conscripted by him.
On the western plain outside Mirror City, ten Three-Bow Bed Crossbows were lined up.
Liu Shu, the Director of the Armament Department, stood by, dumbfounded.
The production of such large-scale military equipment fell within the scope of the Armament Production Department.
But the problem was, their department couldn’t produce ten Three-Bow Bed Crossbows in such a short amount of time!
Even though he had learned from Luo Ji that these Three-Bow Bed Crossbows were fragile, low-cost versions, it still couldn’t hide Liu Shu’s shock.
These goblins had truly stolen the limelight during this period!
As such, this test firing of the Three-Bow Bed Crossbows clearly attracted a large number of artisan masters from the Armament Department to observe.
Even Ye Xuan, the armament enthusiast, had uncharacteristically come out to join the fun.
Evidently, as the current improver and designer of the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow in Myriad World Civilization, Ye Xuan was also very curious.
How could these small goblins produce Three-Bow Bed Crossbows whose power and range were virtually not inferior, all while reducing costs and production time?
Luo Ji’s arrival caused the artisan masters gathered outside the field to instinctively step back.
At the same time, they shouted in unison.
“We greet Your Majesty!”
Meanwhile, several armament manufacturers from the goblin civilization quickly ran to Luo Ji and bowed in salute.
“Jiang Zhan greets Your Majesty!”
This Jiang Zhan was the chief armament designer of Gawain’s goblin civilization.
His single-item intelligence cap was 5-stars.
His status was essentially equivalent to Ye Xuan’s in Myriad World Civilization.
He was one of the high-caliber goblin talents Luo Ji had gained in this wave.
Since the goblins were tasked with producing fragile, low-cost versions of the Three-Bow Bed Crossbows, the manufacturing method clearly couldn’t follow the original.
To save materials, reduce costs, and accelerate production efficiency, the entire design blueprint clearly needed slight modifications.
This modification work was completed by Jiang Zhan.
“You are all excused from formalities!”
Luo Ji raised his hand, signaling everyone to rise.
Then, his gaze immediately fell upon the ten Three-Bow Bed Crossbows lined up on the field.
“Are these the Three-Bow Bed Crossbows you produced?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Jiang Zhan replied respectfully.
Luo Ji nodded, hearing this, and quickly took a few steps closer.
Ye Xuan, equally interested, immediately followed suit.
Given Ye Xuan’s status, even the guards turned a blind eye to her actions.
Others naturally wouldn’t say anything.
Perhaps it was because Luo Ji hadn’t paid too much attention to the original design of the Three-Bow Bed Crossbows.
At this moment, looking at these ten Three-Bow Bed Crossbows, he couldn’t see any difference from ordinary ones.
Finally, he simply tossed the question to Ye Xuan, who had followed him.
“Ye Xuan, can you see any difference?”
Jiang Zhan grinned smugly, thinking there was no way a human could discern their goblin technology!
However, before that thought could even settle, Ye Xuan, who had been examining the Three-Bow Bed Crossbows behind Luo Ji, spoke up.
“The Three-Bow Bed Crossbows I originally designed required six processing steps for each wooden part and bracket, and then a special coating, to increase toughness, allowing the Three-Bow Bed Crossbows to withstand stronger recoil, be less prone to damage, and extend their service life.”
“But these ten Three-Bow Bed Crossbows skipped at least three processing steps. However, doing so indeed speeds up production efficiency and reduces manufacturing costs.”
“Besides that, the parts in this position, and here, have also been modified…”
“Oh, and here too.”
“And here…”
“They even changed the base of the frame…”
