They had thought that the local natives wouldn't be able to adapt to the work requirements that could only be met by robots that obeyed them unconditionally.
But it might be because they hadn't experienced capitalist exploitation in the Industrial Revolution era. As an intermediary platform with modern labor concepts on Earth, the Technology Guild's characteristic was that all the hardworking people could exchange their sweat for generous rewards. This forced these poor people to quickly adapt to this inhumane way of work and radiate the unique vitality of the Land of Lost.
Of course, in the early days of the Technology Guild's development, Kaya constantly revised the system according to the feedback of various problems in the work. She also imported data analysis, machine learning, and other algorithms to add many functions. The success of the Technology Guild today could be attributed to the girl.
However, after reaching a certain level, the teacher told her apprentice to stop instead of endlessly revising and evolving the system.
Corporate software wasn't like social software like Facebook, which had to rely on the novelty of constant revision to keep people around. There was no point in pursuing perfection excessively. That was just nitpicking. Because people were alive, there were always all kinds of situations.
As long as it wasn't a fatal flaw, Lin didn't intend to let her apprentice spend any more time on improving it. No matter how much this management system was improved, people wouldn't become machines because of it.
Of course, the tactful Uzov wouldn't force others to reach the realm of perfection. Or rather, he, who understood the meaning behind this system, was more worried that the role of "people" would be replaced. In the end, even a well-trained monkey would be able to sit in his position. Therefore, Uzov had nothing to complain about when his boss stopped.
But in the eyes of outsiders, what the Technology Guild did was like creating one miracle after another.
For example, the shell of the west wing was built in only one day after the materials were prepared. Even though it was only a two-story building, building the shell was still the part that required the most manpower.
After the rough shell was completed, the Technology Guild withdrew most of the manpower. Only the particularly skilled craftsmen and the Grand Duke's team of craftsmen were left to renovate the exterior and interior of the house. On one hand, it was also the follow-up work. In terms of manpower, quality was more important than quantity.
However, no matter how efficient the construction was, there was still a weakness, and that was the materials. It was the same problem as the machine that someone had designed that could be used to print magic scrolls.
While they were chatting at night, Uzov reported this matter to a certain someone. Lin was surprised for a moment and said, "I remember that the main body of the West Wing building is made of cement. The Technique Guild had researched the techniques and recipes for the firing process a long time ago. How can it not be enough just by smashing rocks and burning them? What kind of ingredients did you add in? "
"Boss, we have enough materials for the house. Even the specially-made magnetic tiles, the walls, and the floor that you instructed us to build have been completed and can be laid down at any time. However, we don't have enough materials for the furniture. "
"Furniture?" The furniture in the Mystic Land was either dowry or made on the spot when needed. There were no finished furniture stores on Earth that sold it. But, "It's just a piece of wood with a nail and a coat of paint. There were so many skilled carpenters in the Technical Guild, but they didn't even have wood to make furniture in their house. At the very least, there are so many merchant associations selling them. "
"Boss, the main problem is the Marquis' room." As he spoke, Uzov's eyes drifted in a certain direction. Sitting next to the black-haired, brown-skinned girl was Marquis Barland, who would gather in the reception room after dinner according to the family's custom. On the small table next to her, there was a glass of iced milk. She was buried in the water mirror screen and didn't even look at the others.
After making sure that he wouldn't be noticed by this person because of what he said, Uzov gathered his courage and said, "The head craftsman under the Grand Duke said that the bed to be made for the Marquis has to be made of fragrant cedar wood, which has a calming effect when combined with a magic array. The cabinet has to be made of silver camphor, which has the effect of dehumidifying and eliminating insects. Then, almost every kind of furniture has to be replaced with a different kind of wood and made into something similar to a magic prop to give it a specific effect. The more troublesome part is that even after transferring goods from the various merchant associations in the Sacred City, we still can't gather all the wood required by the master craftsman. "
"Are there any replaceable materials?" Lin asked directly according to his usual way of thinking.
Uzov said with a troubled expression, "The master craftsman insists on using a specific wood and won't change it."
"Then how do you plan to solve it?"
"The main thing we lack is the two special woods I just mentioned. According to that person, there is a place where this kind of tree grows near the Sacred City. However, it is a forest dominated by magic beasts. Although we can save the steps of negotiating with the local nobles, we have to solve the problem of magic beasts ourselves. "Uzov explained.
"Well, then what do you plan to do?" Lin asked.
"Purely collecting the materials needed for the project, the guild has a special collection team, all comrades of the Turtledove Alliance. Originally, they were hired to deal with the infringement of the guild's technical patents. However, except for the early days of the guild's establishment, after a few tough battles with a few unruly craftsmen and the forces behind them, such things didn't happen again. Therefore, most of the work of the hired comrades recently changed to collecting some special materials for the members of the guild. "
"Collecting materials, isn't this the business of the Adventurers Guild?" Lin wondered.
Uzov explained, "That's right. However, there are people around, and they are ready to set off at any time. Compared to the Adventurers Guild's commission, there might not be anyone willing to accept it, or we don't know when someone will accept it. It is more efficient to use our own people. "
"But if this is the case, will the Adventurers Guild have any objections?" Lin asked this because the Adventurers Guild's source of income was the intermediary work and then the commission.
If the technical guild overstepped their boundaries and caused the dissatisfaction of the other guild, then nothing good would happen. The size of the two guilds was still too different. The Adventurers Guild was everywhere in the maze, and the technical guild was the only one in the Sacred City's VI district. If there was a conflict, there was no need to think about it. At this stage, the technical guild that was not involved in military affairs would definitely be defeated.
"Boss, don't worry. If there are guild members and comrades in the alliance who have discussed it, they will still go to the Adventurers Guild to register the commission. After all, the two sides who are not familiar with each other will still worry about the credibility of the verbal agreement. With the Adventurers Guild as the intermediary, both sides are more assured. After all, the technical guild is not suitable for this matter. "
"Well, since you have already considered this matter, then I won't say more. It's just that you were hesitating when you spoke at the beginning. Are you worried about something? "Lin Xiang recalled Uzov's original hesitant appearance and asked.
"No, I'm just afraid that you will feel that it is inappropriate to prepare special furniture for the Marquis."
"How is it inappropriate? Isn't this the Grand Duke's money? He wants to make his family more comfortable. This is understandable. Why would I have an opinion? Or is the relevant cost of this designated material paid by us? "Lin asked.
Uzov quickly explained: "No, this is not the case. The Grand Duke's master craftsman said that the cost of hiring helpers and collecting materials is also paid by the Grand Duke's funds. "
"That's good. Do you have a rough plan? "
"Yes. That location is about three days away from the Sacred City. If we drive there, we can reach the periphery in one morning. But then we can only enter the forest on foot. As for how deep we have to go in order to find the target wood, this is uncertain. And after we find the wood, we have to cut it down and transport it out. This will take time. But as long as we successfully get out of the forest, the wood can be loaded onto a truck and transported back to be processed. The master craftsman said that if there is no mature wood, the raw wood that has just been cut can be used, but it needs to go through some additional processing. This all takes time, so the faster we collect the materials, the better. "
Usually, the White Swordsman, who did not speak during the break after the meal, only drank tea and read a book. William Greco rarely raised his head from his book and said: "Sir Fen, tomorrow I will join Uzov's team and temporarily leave for a few days. I can't help you with your research. "
Lich, who was half-lying on the sofa and rubbing his calf, only raised his eyelids. On the contrary, Lin asked in surprise: "You are going too?"
William Greco tilted his head and said in confusion: "I am also a member of the Turtledove Alliance. Is it surprising to participate in this kind of escort mission?"
Uzov quickly said: "Yes, boss. I invited William in the afternoon, and he agreed to help. After all, the place we are going to is a forest where magical beasts live, and we need to split our attention to protect the lumberjacks. With a strong guard like William, the lumberjacks should feel more secure, and their efficiency will increase. "
To this point, a certain someone was completely unable to refute. Since Uzov had already considered all aspects, Lin finally said: "Then let's do it this way. Be careful."
"Master, I will also go to the Forest of Magical Beasts to help." The only one who would call Lin this was the Dark Elf Melville.
The old elven robe that was originally woven by the World Tree, Fasnarth. Under the premise that the robe itself was not damaged, some ribbons were tied and some small accessories were added according to the advice of the two girls, giving it a brand-new feeling. And her attitude was also different from what he knew in the past. It was as if she had let go, or rather, the screws had loosened …
But overall, the line of rationality had not fallen to the level of a low level. She faced the gaze and revealed an innocent and shy expression, saying: "Staying here, other than taking care of those cute little things, I have nothing to do. This time, it can be considered as going out to stretch my muscles. When everyone was in danger in the snow mountain, it was Uzov and I who went out to hunt and collect food. Master, don't tell me you are worried about me and want me to stay. "
