New Moon (January), Year DCCXXXII (732), Archmage Guebrach Tripwood attempted to ignite the Divine Fire and create a Divine Throne, but failed.
In the same month, the Divine Artifact Black Tortoise Silk Robe was born.
The birth of this robe was earth-shattering. But in reality, no one recognized it when they saw it.
Generally, magic equipment arrogantly emitted a unique oppressive aura, wishing that others could feel it from afar, or kneel in front of this oppressive aura.
Perhaps it was because of a certain person's wretched personality, but the Black Tortoise Silk Robe was quite restrained, to the point that people couldn't feel its existence.
The mathematics class on the day of the incident was taught by Lich. Originally, everyone in the class was mentally prepared that perhaps the teacher would skip a few more classes and let them experience Lich's beating once again. But on the second day of class, Lin silently used Blink to stand on the podium.
Since he was here, even if his appearance had changed considerably, his knowledge of mathematics couldn't be fooled, so they calmly listened to the class. It was not until the end of the day's class and the lecturer had left that the mages realized something was wrong.
First of all, when did he leave? Also, what was that robe on him?
The previous mage's robe was no different from rags in the eyes of a group of experienced mages. But this time, the black robe also didn't give off any power, but it gave off a strange feeling that sucked in everyone's senses.
Compared to the oppressive magic equipment, the robe on a certain person's body was even rarer. Of course, it was also possible that everyone misjudged. So on the third day of mathematics class, someone close to him requested to take a closer look at the robe.
It was a magic equipment. Perhaps it couldn't be seen from afar, but after touching it with their hands, no one would question it. But the most shocking thing was that it was a magic equipment made of silk!
Silk was one of the top fabrics in the Land of Enchantment. But what made mages dissatisfied was that silk couldn't be made into magic equipment and become their daily wear. But the mage in front of them seemed to have broken this limit and made a magic equipment made of silk.
Of course, this aroused everyone's curiosity and questions, but Lin just smiled and didn't say anything.
He had no intention of publicizing this technology. Other technologies that were forced or voluntarily made public were more or less epoch-making knowledge that could change the course of the world. However, the magic version of silk was only a pure luxury. Even if it were made public, it would only benefit a small portion of the population; the greater part of the population would continue to live as they should, silk or no silk.
Strictly speaking, coffee could also be considered as such. However, at that time, he didn't have the strength to protect this knowledge. He also wanted to borrow the strength of others to promote coffee drinking culture. Thus, no matter where he went, he would have the opportunity to drink the coffee that was grown and brewed by others. Although it was not as common as it was on Earth, this goal could be considered a success.
However, the magical version of silk did not have such a requirement. Lin Li did not need to rely on promoting the production of magic silk to ensure that he could wear good clothes all the time. He only needed to make the quantity that he needed. Clothes were not a consumable like coffee. They had to be replenished constantly.
Even if other people guessed the method of silk production from his actions of breeding the Devil Moths, it would take a lot of research to perfect the entire production process, not to mention catching up with his current progress. A large part of the reason why this silk robe was successful was because it benefited from the experience on Earth.
As for whether the mages in the maze could find a way to create a different path of silk, Lin Li did not care so much. Since the appearance of silk in the maze, mages and non-mages had worked hard in this area, but no one had succeeded. It was impossible to find a way to break through from him without paying a huge price.
However, the popularity of this robe only lasted for a short period of time. Mages were pragmatic after all. Not everyone would pursue luxury.
Moreover, if something good appeared in history, everyone would ask for the production method, then no one would invent or create anything. Of course, the more reason not to do so was that the unique creations that left their mark in history could not be replicated. It could be an extremely rare material, or it could be a coincidence that was not noticed during the production process.
Since it could not be replicated, and it was impossible to snatch it from the hands of a mage who was the "best" at escaping, then meaningless thoughts would gradually make people forget about such a thing. In any case, there were many good things in the maze. If they wanted to snatch and collect them when they saw the best, to be honest, even if they had several lives, it would not be enough, because there were even more ruthless people in the maze.
However, this matter would still be recorded by the mages who were keeping an eye on the forest. Whether it was to deal with a mage or to give an evaluation of a mage, the magic equipment he had was also a very important reference indicator. The more exposed, the more likely it was to find a weakness in the man, and then control or kill him.
However, what really attracted everyone's attention, from that black robe to other places, was a major event that could be considered a major event that could be considered to have caused a stir in the Holy City of Estali. Grand Duke Carvey of the Guevana Empire, in conjunction with the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, set up a car manufacturing and R&D center outside the Holy City District VI, and publicly recruited all mages and craftsmen with skills and craftsmanship in the Holy City.
The two major forces had their own manpower, and they also came to the Holy City with the funds and the deacons in charge of management. Of course, the people from the two major forces would not be bad people, but they themselves also had secret projects going on, and would not send out the top people of their respective forces. Instead, they sent idle personnel, as well as people whose work was not so important, to this project that the two major forces attached great importance to.
Unfortunately, this group of people originally thought that they were tigers down the mountain, and the only people they had to pay attention to were the people sent by the other major force. However, on the first day they arrived, they were taught a lesson.
The maze used magical materials to create items, and the three great artifacts were: the hammer, the ruler, and the shaping spell. With these three treasures, everything would be successful.
However, the car manufacturing and R&D center that Lin established with the other two major forces was targeted at ordinary materials. Although the magical shaping spell could be effective, after losing the supply of power, the better would be to restore the original state, and the worse would be to directly disintegrate. Therefore, those magical means were useless, and they could only find methods from the most basic forging process.
A certain leader originally did not intend to put too much effort into this R&D center, and it was the same for the four silver-bearded dwarves. However, the basic plan still had to be given, in order to prevent the talents in the maze from going astray.
Regardless of whether they really went astray or not, that would be equivalent to wasting someone's experience on Earth. In the face of the maze where all the previous knowledge was no longer applicable, if someone wanted to lead the development of this center again, he would have to put in more effort. In order to turn back the parts that had gone astray, of course, some losses would inevitably be unavoidable, and it would also be a waste of time. No matter how you looked at it, it was not worth it.
And to limit the development direction of the upcoming high-level talents, someone's approach was to directly help them create machine tools. Just like the development of the manufacturing industry on Earth, in addition to the advancement of manufacturing technology, it was also limited to the extent that machine tools could achieve.
Most of the accumulation of technology was around the existing machine tools, slowly improving and progressing, and there were very few leaps and bounds in development. In other words, as long as Lin provided the tools and machines that were convenient to use first, the direction of development would not go astray too much.
Punch, lathe, and drill press were the three major machine tools that Lin chose. In this way, coupled with the existing traditional tools in the maze, he should be able to do most of the things that Earth's industry at the beginning of the 20th century could do.
Especially the three major machine tools, thanks to the P language program that was already quite mature, Lin Yi directly used the CNC version of the machine tools, instead of the traditional machine tools that required a master's hand. The advantage of doing this was only that the process was designed and the correct parameters were inputted, and the requirement of "mass duplication" could be easily achieved, instead of praying that the waste rate would automatically decrease.
And in order to control these CNC version of the machine tools, Lin even created the industrial drawing software that he did not know how different it was from the Earth version. Even though he had used software like AutoCAD before, Lin Yi did not know how that thing was related to the creation of horizontal links. The maze version was just something that was made according to his own imagination and needs.
Even in the technology guild organized by Uzov Gantia, the craftsmen in the guild would at most get the final design of the explosion to verify that the parts they made did not conform to the original design. But what Lin was going to give to the car manufacturing and R&D center was software that included drawing, calculation, and presentation.
The "masters" from the two major forces would be defeated by the operation of the machine tools. As long as the functions of punch, cutting, and drilling were explained, nobody would not understand. But when it came to programming and industrial design, it was like giving an iPhone to a caveman and telling them how to use an app.
The people sent by Grand Duke Carvey and Ruan Wenyue of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce were naturally not incompetent people. They were also loyal to their respective forces. But they were asked to flexibly use the latest programming technology and drawing software related to programming languages and mathematics. The group of Mages who were complacent after knowing simple algebraic operations were dumbfounded on the spot.
In any case, Lin Yi was one of the three bosses of the R&D center. It was impossible for him to diss his subordinates and scold them with "you're all garbage" every time he met them. But it was also impossible for him to open a machine tool class and teach people who did not have any foundation step by step to the extent that they could operate machines and improve programs. So, he had to figure out a way.
