The current equipment production mainly relied on the workshop, and Kevin was responsible for the design, which was drawing blueprints.
The workshop's production speed of equipment props was very fast, and the production cycle could be said to be almost zero.
It didn't even take a second.
The materials went in, and the finished product came out immediately.
However, it didn't take much time to produce a few pieces of equipment. But what about hundreds, thousands, or even more?
Tang Yu couldn't figure out why the workshop didn't have the option of mass production if the equipment manufacturing method was so advanced?
His fingers hurt every time he pointed it!
Even if he opened the workshop's access rights and let others responsible for material delivery and equipment sorting statistics …
It was also troublesome, and he didn't want to do it.
He needed to develop a new production method.
Tang Yu came to the research institute. Around his usual workbench, there were various tools and materials.
He grabbed a piece of animal skin that was cut into A4 size and looked like a piece of paper.
These demonic beasts' fur had been treated and didn't have the fishy smell. He reached out and stroked it, only feeling soft and comfortable.
He spread the animal skin on the workbench and took a rune pen that looked like a brush.
The pen body was engraved with dense runes. When source power was injected, a small cluster of jumping flames appeared at the tip of the pen, like a flame ejected from a lighter's nozzle.
Increasing the input of source power, the flame shone brightly and jumped more actively.
With less source power, the flame immediately dimmed as if it could be extinguished at any time.
This kind of rune pen was a common tool used by runemasters when drawing runes.
It could be used to draw most runes.
Drawing runes was like writing with a brush. But the difficulty was much higher. The jumping flame itself was very unstable. When drawing, it was necessary to control the output of source power. At the energy node of each rune, it was necessary to inject a certain amount of energy. Also, it was necessary to pay attention to the rune's standardization. Not a single mistake could be made.
If it was light, the entire rune would be scrapped. If it was heavy, it would explode.
In the course of his studies, there had been quite a few explosions. Fortunately, the runes he had drawn were relatively basic, so he didn't need to inject much Origin Energy. Just the complexity of those basic runes far surpassed that of words.
Tang Yu exhaled softly to keep himself in peak condition.
He picked up the rune brush and slowly drew on the beast skin.
His hands were very steady, and his speed was neither fast nor slow … These runes were very complicated, but they were connected from beginning to end, so he couldn't go any faster even if he wanted to. According to his thousands of failed experiences, this speed and strength were the easiest to control.
About a minute later, Tang Yu put away the pen. The rune shone and gradually dissipated.
"It's done. It seems that I have a very high success rate in drawing these basic runes now."
Tang Yu had heard from Kevin that although the Rune Master wasn't a combat profession, it was more noble than the Mage, who claimed to be a noble profession.
It was just burning money.
Every time he drew a rune, he would need to consume a large amount of Origin Energy. Where would he get all this Origin Energy from? It was far from enough to rely on the awakened's body. The source power was just a catalyst to control. What was consumed was the source power of the spirit stones.
Although demonic beast fur was cheaper to purchase, it wasn't necessarily the case. In order to maximize the success rate, the higher the grade of the demonic beast fur, the better.
Tang Yu didn't dare to calculate how many materials and spirit stones he had spent. If he did, he'd be heartbroken.
"Fortunately, the success rate is high now. It seems that I'm still very talented in the rune path!"
He drew a basic sharpness rune.
High-grade beast skin could bear the power of the rune. Tang Yu estimated that the rune could be preserved for about a month, which was a long time.
Why did the extraordinary factor extracted from the demonic beast body of the Lindong Academy of Sciences quickly dissipate? First, there was a lack of a suitable carrier. Ordinary paper couldn't bear the power of the rune. Second, the Academy of Sciences didn't understand the structure of the rune.
The beast skin with the basic sharpness rune was equivalent to a one-time scroll. It could add a sharpness effect to the weapon. But there was a time limit. It wasn't permanent like the inscription on the equipment.
However, Tang Yu still drew the rune on the beast skin instead of directly inscribing it on the equipment.
Why?
Because it was more difficult!
With his current rune level, the success rate of directly inscribing it on the equipment was low. It was better to practice with the beast skin.
The rune path burned money endlessly.
"If you want to mass produce rune equipment, it's not difficult to process and assemble the equipment. But the final rune inscription is a problem."
Kevin's equipment department's speed of producing rune equipment was also quite fast. The inscription of the rune didn't need to be drawn slowly like Tang Yu.
This was a rune seal made by Kevin after he had a high level of attainment in a certain rune. However, the seal wasn't finished just by stamping it. The same rune inscribed on different equipment, or inscribed on different parts of the same equipment would produce subtle differences. This difference greatly affected the quality of the equipment. Every time it was stamped, Kevin had to make fine-tuning before the rune was completely solidified.
This cut off the possibility of automatic production.
Tang Yu also visited the equipment department's manufacturing process. Although a low-level equipment could be produced in three minutes, Kevin's equipment manufacturing was also done one by one. As long as it wasn't multiple production at the same time, no matter how fast it was, it was far from the workshop's speed.
After thinking about it, Tang Yu came to the equipment department. From a distance, he could hear a noisy roar coming from inside.
He told Kevin about the idea of mass production of equipment, hoping the other party could provide some good suggestions.
Kevin frowned, "According to the Lord's idea of the assembly line layout, the manufacturing workshop and assembly workshop are not a big problem. The difficulty lies in the inscription workshop. We don't have such a standardized inscription process on our side. It's often a runemaster leading a few runemaster apprentices to inscribe runes."
Although it wasn't difficult to train a runemaster apprentice, it still took time. In the entire territory, apart from Kevin who was an advanced runemaster, Tang Yu could be regarded as a junior runemaster. After that, there was no then.
Even the two survivors who helped Kevin couldn't be called a runemaster apprentice.
It's impossible to mass produce rune equipment without dozens of runemaster apprentices.
"If the Lord only needs to make low-level rune equipment, then it's easier. This level of rune seal is easier to make. I can make some in a hurry. But without rune fine-tuning, the quality of the equipment may only be 20 to 30 percent of the original."
"Is it possible to set the direction of fine-tuning?" Tang Yu thought about it. He wasn't a rune newbie now. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it was. "Primary runes aren't complicated. The subtle differences imprinted on the equipment are naturally not as complicated as advanced runes. In that case, can we find out the rules that cause the differences and summarize them?"
"This way, even if I'm not proficient in runes, I can summarize the experience and deal with it accordingly."
