Chapter 1393: Intelligent Workshop Scheme

Since it is named "automatic," there must certainly be automatic factors involved.

One could see that at the Spell Source Point about half a meter above this half-meter-high cubic device, Magic Net Strings were gathering more and more, beginning to radiate a dazzling Magic Aura outward.

Immediately following, the aura began to change, seemingly elongating, and the next moment a bright Daiwei String "grew" out from the Spell Source Point.

The "thread end" extended slowly toward the zenith, and upon reaching the preset length, it suddenly turned a corner; the Daiwei String emerging afterward was actually "growing" out in an arc.

Although he had experimented privately many times, when the Daiwei String produced by the Davy String Preparation Machine automatically formed a material carrier component for an energy circuit corresponding to a Spell Element, Xia Duo still felt an inexplicable sense of being moved.

Next, under Iolum's surprised gaze, he linked the first Daiwei String Component to the Magic Net, which was also one of the results of him being busy to the point of exhaustion these past few days.

Benefiting from his previously fairly rich experience in making Magic Items, the operation of linking the Independent Arcane Fire Device to the Magic Net through thousands of (non-repeating) elements in real-time stages had already been mastered by Xia Duo by nearly half.

While demonstrating the Davy String Preparation Machine, he had also shown this along the way.

……

Next, Xia Duo did not shut down the equipment; after the first Daiwei String Component took shape, the Spell Source Point above the preparation machine continued to "grow out" the next segment of Daiwei String.

And according to the construction Indication of the Arcane Fire Device, it extended toward the vicinity of the Daiwei String Component that had already been linked to the Magic Net, growing directly into an adjacent Daiwei String Component.

For the second component, Xia Duo naturally followed the same method and linked it to the Magic Net.

And after the second component was completed, he did not continue the demonstration; he reached out and pressed the button on the preparation machine, the Magic Aura on the device flickered, and then it gradually dimmed until it reached the stable state it had at the very beginning.

"Teacher, do you think this equipment is suitable?"

"Let me think!"

Iolum's eyes flickered; it was clear that Xia Duo had given him a huge surprise. Setting aside the consumption of Arcane Crystals, this device alone could save him at least half his time.

Although the Arcane Fire Device contains millions of Daiwei String Components and requires each one to be linked to the Magic Net individually, the difficulty of linking a single element to the Magic Net is almost negligible for him.

If not for the worry that mistakes might occur in the process, he could completely link dozens or hundreds of Daiwei String Components to the Magic Net in one second.

The Arcane Fire Device he is currently experimenting with is indeed complex, but in essence, it is just a device where 124 Arcane Fires are combined and activated in sequence; linking this device to the Magic Net is equivalent to creating 124 Arcane Fires, which itself does not have much difficulty.

It is only because of the special nature of the Daiwei String, which requires linking to the Magic Net while making the components, that makes this work very cumbersome.

According to previous experience, even without any other interference and with full devotion, the cycle of one experiment is at least calculated in months.

Most of that time is spent on the preparation of the device, and the truly effective experimental time is actually calculated in seconds.

Now with this equipment manufactured by Xia Duo, if there were a few more, Iolum would have the confidence to compress the cycle of one experiment to within half a month, or even shorter.

"Xia Duo, let me ask you, if there are multiple such devices, can you guarantee that they can all create Daiwei String Components with specific requirements at specific spatial positions according to the construction of the Arcane Fire Device?"

Iolum felt intuitively that it was feasible, but on this matter, he still wanted to hear Xia Duo's opinion.

To this, Xia Duo's answer was—

"Yes!"

And he further explained: "The construction diagram of the Arcane Fire Device is already built into this equipment. When multiple units work simultaneously, you only need to calibrate the position of the Spell Source Point after starting and before formal production."

Actually, this was Xia Duo's initial idea; what he wanted to make was not just a machine capable of automatically producing Daiwei Strings, but an intelligent workshop with multiple units working in coordination.

As long as there are a few more technicians capable of linking the Arcane Fire Device to the Magic Net, it is entirely possible to complete an Independent Arcane Fire Device in a very short time.

Even with multiple workshops starting work at the same time, the leader of the experiment could conduct experimental verification without interruption.

For the parts that need modification and adjustment later, one only needs to design the construction diagram first and then "input" it into the intelligent workshop.

When Xia Duo was making the Davy String Preparation Machine, he referred to the design of the previous Magic Scroll Printing Machine, making the construction diagram part an independent module, which is convenient for adjustment and replacement at any time.

The core component of this Davy String Preparation Machine is not the spell module that creates the Daiwei String, but the blueprint module; without the blueprint module, this machine would be just like an ordinary Magic Item, only capable of producing standard Daiwei Strings.

From standard Daiwei Strings to Daiwei String Components, although it is not as troublesome as Mithril material which requires shaping through an Alchemy Array, the Daiwei String has the properties of a Magic Net String and can be directly interfered with by the Spellcaster's will.

But with human participation, it means an increase in the error rate.

It would be better to shape it during the creation process, avoiding the human factor in this step, which could at least reduce the construction difficulty of the Arcane Fire Device from a miracle to the level of a spectacle.

The step of linking to the Magic Net is unavoidable; Xia Duo has been to many Projection Planes to date and has not found any situation where one can link to the Magic Net without a Spellcaster.

Once this point is broken through, it means 【True Fully-Automated Production】 of Magic Items, which can be completely detached from human influence.

The Spellcaster only needs to provide the design, and what comes out of the factory is already the finished product.

This is one of Xia Duo's future goals!

……

There were no surprises; in the end, Iolum agreed to Xia Duo's plan, but he was not prepared to borrow Arcane Crystals from the Seven Towers, but rather intended to provide them himself.

"Although the previous experiments were not very successful, there was still Arcane Energy produced. It's just a pity that if I had known today would come, I would definitely have tried to collect more Arcane Energy."

When Iolum said this, his face was full of regret. After Xia Duo inquired carefully, he learned that even if the Arcane Fire Device experiment failed and the device disintegrated, as long as Protection measures were taken, a portion of the Arcane Energy that had not yet dissipated could still be extracted.

It was just that the process of the device disintegrating was very violent; Iolum had only collected Arcane Energy in the initial experiments, and later, as the energy level of the experiments continued to rise, he had not collected it again.

However, when Xia Duo saw the box of Arcane Crystals that Iolum handed to him, he felt completely numb. The box, which was about the same size as the Davy String Preparation Machine, had at least over a hundred thousand Standard Arcane Crystals by a simple estimation.

Xia Duo is already a Great Arcanist now; with his current Arcane Energy limit for Arcane Fire, he can only accumulate at most 3 Standard Arcane Crystals per day.

Compared to when he had just become an Arcanist, when it took several months to save one, his current accumulation speed is already countless times faster.

But how is he supposed to save these hundred-plus thousand Standard Arcane Crystals?
