Chapter 1210: 382. New chanos_2
After arriving at the manor in the sub-dinsional realm, the first thing Noland Lee saw was chanos transporting building materials and constructing houses under Nolin’s command.
Dodging this busy group, Noland Lee headed to the open-air chanos manufacturing factory built near the manor.
This was a place for assembly-line production of chanos, currently equipped with a warehouse for storing alchemy materials, three conveyor belts for transporting materials and parts, a series of chanical operation desks for assembling chanos and engraving Array patterns, and a platform for testing the finished chanos.
With sufficient raw materials and a stable energy supply, this production line, entirely manned by chanos as workshop workers, could manufacture between 30 and 50 specific models of chanos each day.
All chanos manufactured from the production line were used to assemble new lines, further boosting the output of chanos.
In this recurring cycle, after about two more months, Noland Lee could increase the daily production of chanos to 1000.
...
Is 1000 chanos a day sufficient?
Not enough, still not enough.
Take a look at the letters in the maze space.
The people who send letters to harass this innocent little wizard might send teams or magic avatars for visits, and Noland Lee must properly host them.
He absolutely cannot let the visitors discover his true identity, or else the consequences would be endless.
Fortunately, very, very few wizards knew about chanos; otherwise, Noland Lee really couldn’t use chanos to entertain his guests.
Assuming there might be a dozen Nine Circles Wizards appearing in the maze space in the future, Noland Lee felt he needed to increase the production line’s daily output to 10,000 to ensure that his army of chanos wouldn’t collapse under sudden combat situations.
For this, Noland Lee needed to prepare a vast amount of alchemy materials and magic energy.
“Nolin, have you calculated it yet? If I want to increase the daily output to 10,000, how much alchemy material and magic energy do I need to keep on hand?” Noland Lee asked Nolin, who was busy on the production line.
Nolin, with a chanics tool bag on her back, from which chanical arms extended to grasp parts or hand her tools.
Seeing that Noland Lee had arrived, Nolin set down her work, and the chanos staying next to the magic access ter brought him a stack of paper reports.
“Sir, the results of my calculations are all here.”
Noland Lee took a brief look.
The good news was that the stored alchemy materials and unused soul energy could ensure the production line operated continuously for 15 days at a capacity of 5000 chanos per day.
The bad news was that to ensure a stable daily production of 10,000 chanos, the total amount of materials and soul energy in the warehouse would need to be more than 20 tis what it was now.
The most scarce of them was alchemy materials, and within those, the most rare was the all-purpose tal powder.
When Noland Lee saw this analysis, his teeth ached slightly…
If he hadn’t shut down the Pollution Zone “Grey Wasteland,” then by now, Union City could definitely produce all-purpose tal powder at a rate a hundred tis faster than before.
With such a trendous output, it would undoubtedly satisfy the needs of the Alchemy Cathedral and also bring him, Noland Lee, an abundant supply of all-purpose tal powder.
But unfortunately… he had closed the “Grey Wasteland”…
Through this, Noland Lee also realized a fatal flaw in chanos.
That was their over-reliance on Alchemy from the Alchemy Cathedral and all-purpose tal powder.
On one hand, this would an that Noland Lee was always at the rcy of the Alchemy Cathedral; on the other hand, tal chanos were also at risk of being used by the tal Ancestor Dragon.
Therefore, it was ti to prioritize the design and developnt of non-tallic chanos.
Noland Lee discussed with Nolin for a while, and she brought him so good news.
Whenever Nolin had spare monts, she would proactively execute the commands previously issued by Noland Lee.
Among many commands that Noland Lee had sowhat forgotten was one concerning “developing non-tallic chanos.”
Nolin, who despised the tal Creation Group, was very eager to distance herself from them.
She was extrely dedicated to any developnt projects not based on “tal materials.”
“Developing non-tallic chanos” beca her top priority on her own initiative.
At this mont, the magic access ter already had a complete set of sches for creating non-tallic chanos.
Noland Lee was overjoyed and heartily praised his capable assistant.
He went to the magic access ter to review the plans, gradually becoming imrsed in thought.
Non-tallic Machinery Spirits, compared to the current tallic Machinery Spirits, have one advantage and one disadvantage.
The advantage is their extrely low cost.
By personally participating in the mining of non-tallic ores, Noland Lee was able to purchase high-quality non-tallic ores at incredibly low prices.
This way, the cost per non-tallic Machinery Spirit would drop to about one-fifth of that of tallic Machinery Spirits, and without using any All-purpose tal Powder.
The disadvantage of non-tallic Machinery Spirits is also quite apparent, that is, their larger size.
Hmm… not quite…
Noland Lee squinted at the characters in the project plan, and according to the content written, he gestured the size of the non-tallic Machinery Spirits with his hand.
Not just large…
The non-tallic version would be 500% larger than the tallic Capacitor Package Device Spirit and about 200% heavier.
This was equivalent to increasing the size of a Machinery Spirit from that of a basketball to that of half a person.
If it were so, many tactics would have to be modified.
Noland Lee flipped through the project plan and was enlightened.
Nolin had actually considered the large size disadvantage of non-tallic Machinery Spirits and had made certain optimizations.
In the latter part of the plan, Nolin proposed a guess.
That is to completely abandon the high mobility combat units of Machinery Spirits and instead, channel material and energy into fixed turrets and self-propelled fire units.
A technology product of the tal Creation Group called the “Sentry unmanned aerial vehicle” was perfectly suited for construction from non-tallic materials.
This cumberso and bulky drone, with extrely high defense and firepower, is usually installed on battle cruisers, battleships, raider ships, and drone mother ships, and focuses on specialized killing power and defense instead of mobility.
Interestingly, Nolin’s predecessor, Synthetic Human DKP-15, commanded a Heavy Transport Ship, which housed a simple factory for the production and modification of Sentry unmanned aerial vehicles.
Before becoming captain of the ship, Nolin had studied the knowledge of manufacturing Sentry unmanned aerial vehicles.
This valuable technological information was stored in a storage unit and had now been imparted to her by Noland Lee.
Noland Lee flipped through a few more pages of the project plan and, as expected, saw the overall manufacturing plan for the Sentry unmanned aerial vehicles.
Without hesitating, he launched the Deconstruction Technique on the plan, successfully triggering an interaction with “Plastic Power Magic Academy” and “Alchemy”.
Long strings of System Text refreshed in Noland Lee’s mind, cascading down like a waterfall.
Setting aside the lengthy production process, just looking at the product’s effects, this thing, temporarily nad by the system as “Sentry chanism,” perfectly t most of Noland’s needs.
It held ten tis the energy storage of a Machinery Spirit, elevating a single Machinery Spirit’s energy to 10 million points, significantly enhancing its killing power and endurance.
The large caliber Energy Injector, much like a cannon barrel, was definitely capable of intimidating all ill-intentioned guests.
Its external armor, composed of multiple layers of non-tallic armor plates, though bulky and sowhat rough, was genuinely effective in defense, sufficient to ignore magic attacks from Six Circles or below.
If anti-demon material could be acquired, the defensive performance of the Sentry chanism could be further improved.
This was indeed the dream entity Noland Lee had envisioned.
The corners of Noland Lee’s mouth rose into a smile as he looked at Nolin, who appeared a bit nervous, and said:
“Very good, extrely good. I am very satisfied with this plan; I couldn’t find a single fault with it.”
Nolin breathed a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted, fearful that Noland Lee would be dissatisfied with her proposed plan.
Noland Lee urged Nolin to relax and, using “Mind Infusion,” transferred the construction sche he had obtained through Deconstruction.
Although she had already witnessed Noland Lee’s creative talent in the field of magic multiple tis, Nolin was still astonished that he could produce a “magic-modified” Sentry unmanned aerial vehicle in such a short amount of ti.
After a brief mont of being dazed, Nolin began to attentively read the plan in her mind.
“Sir, if we proceed with this plan, our current production line that produces 50 Machinery Spirits daily will need to undergo extensive modification. It is expected that after the modifications, the production line will be able to produce five Sentry chanisms daily.”
Noland Lee looked toward the vast forest and mountain landscape and took a deep breath:
“There’s no ti like the present, let’s start modifying the production line now, to increase our capacity sooner!”
“Yes, Sir!”
