Fourteen kilometers away, in the valley north of Hollier, a rectangular building stood out in the open space.
It was obviously not a fortress prepared for war. Looking closer, one could see that it was square, like a regular box, covering an area of more than a thousand square meters.
This valley was the area where Kardashian and the others had tested the guided missiles. Not far away, there were many pits and debris caused by the explosion of the previous failed products, but now the ground was covered with snow.
There was a road leading into this place from the outside world, but there were three layers of armed guards on the road. There were also special troops patrolling the perimeter of the factory.
Through the small windows, different colors of flashes flashed, but none of the soldiers went in to take a look. They had been guarding outside for so long, but none of them knew what was going on inside.
"Hum —"
Rows of crystals began to be injected with energy at the same time, and heavy and huge metal gears began to turn. Wearing a hard hat, Iscar stared at the needles in front of him, and suddenly shouted, "Done! Release the material! Press! "
There was a strange compression sound. After the press finished its work, the stamped steel shell cooled down and was removed from the mold through the mechanical structure.
Kardashian came forward, holding a pistol-like instrument in her hand, and aimed at the perfect curved steel plate to test it. The others also gathered around. Looking around, except for the "Honorable Elder", the rest of the people here were high-level mages, and there were twelve Dragons.
They held their breath. When Kardashian exhaled and said "test passed", cheers came from inside the "factory", followed by a round of applause.
Because the "press" they had painstakingly developed had finally met the requirements, and they had created a "missile shell" that met the standard!
This invention not only greatly reduced the production time of the "guided missiles", but also greatly advanced the level of the "magic industry". Many of the patented structural magic circles used in it would greatly improve the efficiency of other industrial instruments in the current world.
"Everyone, try the first assembly process! Estimated time of eight hours, let's see how fast it goes! "
"Okay!"
Kardashian clapped her hands, and everyone immediately returned to their positions and started working. There were a total of twenty-seven mages and Dragons in the factory. They would be the most powerful force anywhere, but right now, they were all wearing the same "work clothes" and "safety helmets". They quickly took their places on their respective production lines and began the first "assembly line" according to the steps they had practiced countless times.
The Red Dragon and the Black Dragon Herrlöw had to carefully control the process from the beginning of the smelting of the materials for the metal shell of the missile. However, even though they had superb magical control, they were still unable to achieve a high degree of consistency … Every time the material was molded, there would be different changes in the stress, which would often cause the shell to deform irregularly when it was slightly heated. In the end, the missile would disintegrate in the air.
Now, after changing the material formula and using the "High Tonnage Stamping Machine" to manufacture the mold, almost all the problems were solved. When the "materials" and "shell technology" no longer hindered the speed of mass production, the rest of the steps were carried out very quickly. The first missile on the production line only took 40 minutes to complete the test installation, and after testing, it was confirmed to be "qualified."
This meant that in the following days, as long as the raw materials were in place, they would have the ability to mass produce "guided missiles" …
The entire factory went through eight hours of test installation in full swing, producing a total of 15 missiles. This meant that after the various aspects of breaking in, the production interval of each missile was constantly shortening.
Although there were two missiles that failed, compared to the "defective rate" of more than half of the previous products, this was actually a significant improvement.
However, in the face of such gratifying results, Kardashian was not in a hurry to look for Roddy to show off. Instead, while planning to improve the technology, she chatted with the others about the current progress of the "Plane Array Research Department".
"There has been no new news from them, could it be that the progress is not smooth?"
"According to the authority, we shouldn't be able to know about it immediately. Their confidentiality level is the same as ours. "
"But wasn't there some movement last week?"
"Who knows if that was the sound of the portal collapsing, just wait and see …"
"Alright, everyone can rest for today, tomorrow we will continue to improve the technology, after that —"
Halfway through her words, Kardashian suddenly stopped, because after the noisy machinery of the factory shut down, the noisy footsteps outside were especially obvious.
"What's the situation?"
She was a little puzzled, but the next moment, she heard the warning from the alarm outside — everyone's expression changed, because this meant that the guards outside might think that there might be "danger".
But who could attack such a place?
Not only Kardashian, the others also found it hard to imagine who in the current kingdom would be so blind as to come here … After all, the army outside the door was Roddy's personal elite, and their guns and cannons were powerful. None of the people present were weak, even the "helpers" who worked as apprentices were at least high-level mages, not to mention the twelve who could transform into real dragons.
Their team of less than 30 people was more than enough to flatten an ordinary army.
Therefore, after hearing the alarm, not only did they not hide, but they collectively put on their work clothes and went straight outside. At this time, the guards in charge of the security work had already retracted their defenses, and set up roadblocks on the road, but when they came out, they found nothing in front of them …
"Where is the enemy?"
"I'm afraid — it's over there."
Iscar's eyes were sharp, and he raised his hand and pointed to the west, which was surrounded by mountains, but under the blue sky, a faint wisp of smoke could be seen.
This was the "fire beacon" that was still used in the border areas of the kingdom.
In other words, the place bordering the Nehemiah Steppe was in danger.
"What do you mean? Are the Orcs crazy again? "
"It seems that the group of Orcs that besieged Elsen City previously retreated to the Steppe, but the kingdom has set up a lot of sentries in the Steppe for the past two years, maybe they found out that the Orcs are moving?"
After the initial shock, they quickly calmed down, and hugged their shoulders in the cold wind as they discussed. But the surrounding soldiers did not dare to slack off. The garrison had a total of more than 800 people, and there were two artillery carriages. At this time, they were all ready to meet the enemy at any time — even if the enemy might be hundreds of kilometers away.
The scouting troops had been dispatched. The snow in the mountains was thick, and it was difficult for the warhorses to pass through, except for the road areas. But such road conditions were not a problem for the well-prepared elite troops of the Kingdom of Karen. Two caterpillar armored vehicles quickly carried the communication circle and left the sight of the people, disappearing into the shadows of the forest.
Almost at the same time, an emergency cabinet meeting had been held in the Magic Tower, and the members of the cabinet who rushed over were nervous — because the first thing that came to their minds was not the Orcs, but the increasingly active forces of the demons …
