Chapter 11: This mechanical item is very wonderful
The Flying Disc Workshop is a small workshop with no fame.
In the simple workshop, Chen Cha frowned and looked at the semi-finished mechanical item on the table.
Chen Cha was an old man, wearing a black robe, with gray beard and deep eye sockets.
At this moment, he was sitting on a mechanical chair floating in mid-air, a few feet off the ground, searching his brains, unable to think of a solution no matter what.
His design had encountered a bottleneck again.
"This time, I don't know how long it will be stuck!" Chen Cha sighed bitterly.
Regarding the matter of designing mechanical items, there is really no standard number. Sometimes, it can be thought of in a day or two, and sometimes, it will last for weeks or months. Like Chen Cha before, breaking through the bottleneck took a full year.
Chen Cha looked up at the account book in the upper right corner of the table, and his face looked even uglier.
Outstanding mechanical creations always require inspiration and clever conception. Chen Cha's foundation was very solid, especially skilled in arrays, but his inspiration was very scarce, lacking creativity.
In the past, he didn't feel it, so he borrowed money to open this mechanical workshop.
Reality gave him a fierce slap, making him empty his family fortune, not to mention a pile of external debts. Now he is riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off; even if he sells the workshop, it is not enough to compensate.
Regret is already too late. Chen Cha knew that the only way out was to design an excellent mechanical creation himself, which would explode in the market, allowing him to make a fortune, so that he could rise from the dead.
Dong dong dong.
A knock on the door came.
Chen Cha frowned: "What's the matter?"
A voice came from outside the door: "Workshop owner, someone is visiting, wanting to ask for your advice."
Chen Cha nodded: "Lead him to me."
He was very tight on money and eager to pay off debts. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't do this kind of consulting business, but he really had no other way and had to make money from all aspects.
A moment later.
Unlike Ning Zhuo walked slowly into the workshop: "Junior surname Ning, given name Zhuo, pays respects to the Living Array Master Chen Cha."
The old man said "En," putting on airs, but his gaze quickly sized Unlike Ning Zhuo up.
He saw Unlike Ning Zhuo in a white robe, washed clean. A pair of eyes were calm and pure, and his face was youthful and tender.
Chen Cha's gaze lingered on the jade pendant at Unlike Ning Zhuo's waist for a while.
He saw the word "Ning" engraved on the jade pendant.
"Ning clan?" Chen Cha's eyes flashed with essence.
Fire Persimmon Xiancheng has four major forces, the first is the City Lord's Mansion, and the current City Lord is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Next are the Array Zhou clan, the Weapon Zheng clan, and the Talisman Ning clan.
He was slightly happy in his heart: "Coming from a great family, the youth in front of me might have a lot of wealth. This order might be able to be made big; later, point out more places that are insufficient, so that he can ask more questions."
After signing the contract, Chen Cha invited Unlike Ning Zhuo to sit down. The contract bound both parties and required strict confidentiality regarding this question and answer.
Chen Cha drank a sip of bitter tea, his face flat, and asked Unlike Ning Zhuo about the specific content.
Unlike Ning Zhuo said that he designed a mechanical creation and encountered a design difficulty.
Chen Cha immediately laughed in his heart, secretly thinking: "You are in the same situation as me?"
He was dismissive.
As a mechanical cultivator and workshop owner, and also selling knowledge, he had encountered many examples like Unlike Ning Zhuo.
"Young people always think they are extraordinary."
"The mechanical creations designed are unsightly and miserable! Some are even self-contradictory in the machine body, and as soon as magic power is poured in, they collapse first."
This was just Chen Cha's thought in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded slightly, signaling Unlike Ning Zhuo to continue.
Unlike Ning Zhuo said: "Every year during the Fire Persimmon Festival, there are casualties, so I wanted to design a mechanical creation to let it pick fire persimmons."
"I named it Fire Explosion Monkey, and I have already designed it, only missing the last checkpoint..."
Chen Cha was already impatient.
"Alright." Chen Cha waved his hand, "Bring it for me to see first."
Unlike Ning Zhuo then took out the mechanical monkey from the storage bag.
Chen Cha was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but say "Yi" in his heart.
The mechanical Fire Explosion Monkey's whole body of monkey hair was bright red, exquisite and gorgeous; its first appearance firmly attracted Chen Cha's gaze.
Chen Cha was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and possessed divine sense.
He couldn't wait to release his divine sense to investigate.
The next moment, his eyebrows almost jumped up high, but fortunately, he pressed them down in time.
"This mechanical monkey is not simple!" Although his design ability was insufficient, his vision was enough, and he immediately saw many extraordinary aspects of the Fire Explosion Monkey.
Chen Cha reached out to stroke the Fire Explosion Monkey's fur; it felt smooth and comfortable, and he praised in his heart: "Sewn seamlessly, like one body. Multiple places inside the fur are drawn with runes, adding to the toughness of the fur. The production is neat, the layout is rigorous, comparable to an old tailor of many years."
He wanted to pick faults, but couldn't pick them out.
He had to evaluate flatly: "This basic skill of sewing fur is considered passable."
Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded, very much in agreement: "En! I followed the traditional embroidery method of spiritual power. I used the skin of the Fire Velvet Mouse; the mouse skin is small, the raw materials are too fragmented, so I had to use too many silk threads for sewing. There are indeed many flaws in this, and the fire resistance at the seams is greatly reduced."
"Oh? You did it?" Chen Cha raised his eyes and looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo, feeling surprised in his heart.
Designing a mechanical item does not mean making a mechanical item.
Unlike Ning Zhuo is so young, and has such good craftsmanship at this age?
"Perhaps, his strength is here." Chen Cha thought to himself, while using his divine sense to continue scanning.
He scanned the skeleton of the mechanical monkey, and his heart moved: "Is it Sky Gold?"
"Sky Gold is both light and tough, and has a certain spatial performance. Using it for the skeleton material, is it to have storage function?"
Continue looking.
"Sure enough." Chen Cha thought. He saw the array patterns on the skeleton.
"This is a storage array. It is laid out quite appropriately, fully utilizing the skeleton and trying to compress the range occupied by the array."
"Being able to compress the array to this extent, the ability to arrange arrays is not bad!"
"After doing this, this mechanical monkey still has room for upgrades. The maker has a great overall view."
Chen Cha praised in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Unlike Ning Zhuo again, and then immediately fixed his gaze on the mechanical monkey on the table.
Regarding this point of the skeleton, there was also nothing to criticize.
Chen Cha thought for a while, and said in his mouth: "Regarding the selection of Sky Gold, it is considered following the book, without any highlights. The array has been adjusted slightly. This kind of adjustment is all based on the foundation of predecessors, not worth mentioning."
Chen Cha was already mentally prepared, waiting for Unlike Ning Zhuo's unconvinced rebuttal.
But who knew Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded, deeply agreeing: "Actually, my first choice was the Hollow Snail. Using snail powder, matched with a small amount of iron essence, the two are mixed and melted, pressed and condensed to form the skeleton, and the storage capacity is far beyond Sky Gold. It's just a pity that this kind of Hollow Snail is very rare in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng."
oC〇
Chen Cha was stunned for a moment, thinking: "So, he also knows this?"
Hollow Snail matched with iron essence is indeed more excellent, and can cooperate better with Fire Velvet Mouse skin.
Chen Cha coughed twice, looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo deeply, and his tone was flat: "You know it."
He lowered his head and continued to scan with his divine sense.
He saw the muscles of the mechanical monkey, and guessed in his heart: "Are these muscles made of oil smoke mud, further piling up fire resistance?"
"No, it seems like it... it should be a new material refined with alchemy method, mainly oil smoke mud."
"This... I'm afraid it's original."
"Is this also made by the Unlike Ning Zhuo in front of me? What is his name again?"
"Unlike Ning Zhuo?"
Chen Cha couldn't help but start to doubt.
Unlike Ning Zhuo is too young, yet has such alchemy attainments?
It must be known that being able to create a pill formula, even if it is not a whole pill, being able to pioneer this kind of brand-new material is also quite rare.
Chen Cha suppressed his doubts, continued to observe, and sighed in his heart: "Not to mention this material, the shaping skill of the monkey's muscle tissue is really good."
"Just this foundation of material shaping, the maker is enough to serve as the second hammer of the refining workshop. Even, for the creation of some small magic tools, serving as the main hammer is not impossible."
Seeing this, Chen Cha couldn't help but feel a bit irritable.
This mechanical monkey is quite perfect, making Chen Cha want to find flaws, but he can't find them.
Without finding flaws, how can he make this business big?
Many, many people have asked him for advice, and many people have paid far more spirit stones than planned. These are all because Chen Cha pointed out more of their flaws, thereby guiding them to ask more questions.
These people, besides complaining that the fees were expensive, didn't have any other complaints.
Because Chen Cha's guidance was indeed correct and effective.
Chen Cha secretly gritted his teeth and continued to look down.
He spread out the monkey's palm, and suddenly a flash of essence flashed in his eyes.
He made a "ze" sound and praised in his heart: "This palm design is ingenious."
"These micro-arrays are nested with each other, making the monkey's palm movements lively and vivid, capable of making quite complex finger movements."
"This way of combining arrays is quite novel, not a common combination, the array arranger is talented!"
"This is also done by Unlike Ning Zhuo?"
"Who is this guy? A genius cultivator of the Ning clan? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Chen Cha tried to keep it indifferent, until he scanned the monkey's brain shell.
At this point, he finally couldn't cover it up and revealed a trace of shock.
He discovered that the magic tool arranged in the brain shell was actually three wandering bullets!
"The wandering bullet is originally a kind of attack magic tool, which can be remote-controlled to change the flight direction. But now it has been modified, flying and rotating in the monkey's brain shell, acting as a receiver for divine sense. This is the first time I've seen it, unheard of!"
"Oh, and there are many talismans engraved in the monkey brain to cooperate."
"This is a quite excellent original!"
Chen Cha calculated slightly and knew that this arrangement could succeed.
"What I lack, isn't it exactly this kind of inspiration and originality?"
Chen Cha felt sour in his heart and couldn't help but ask Unlike Ning Zhuo: "This idea, how exactly did you think of it?"
Unlike Ning Zhuo said: "Modifying the wandering bullet into a divine sense receiver, junior was out of helplessness. Because this mechanical Fire Explosion Monkey is sold to make money. If I configure it with an array disk, the cost will be much higher. Therefore, I adopted this design scheme."
"I always feel that this is not the best solution; this kind of design still has undiscovered hidden dangers and unstable factors."
Chen Cha's eyes lit up.
"Cost!"
"Yes, without using an array disk, the cost of this mechanical monkey is very little."
"Isn't this the excellent mechanical item I am pursuing?"
"Wait a minute..."
Chen Cha looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo and suddenly felt a bit angry.
Such an excellent mechanical work has no flaws at all, so what is he asking for advice for?
This youth actually took it out to ask for advice, what is his intention?
"Perhaps, this genius is deliberately doing this to tease me?"
After being angry, more doubts surged into his heart.
"Such an excellent mechanical work, is it really made by the youth in front of me?"
"If I designed such a mechanical work, and was this young, I would have raised my head high and proudly publicized it everywhere."
"This is the embodiment of one's own ability, not something ordinary people can do!"
"But this youth is a bit too humble, right?"
"It's as if he is lacking in confidence, pretending to be someone else's work with a guilty conscience." ===== CHAPTER 12 =====
"It's just like having insufficient confidence, the guilty conscience of someone passing off another's work as their own."
