Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Shen Yurou shook her head. The production of Model Two robots isn’t overly complex except for the creation of the intellectual assistance program, which is quite troublesome with a success rate of only 5%, requiring over two hours for a single production run.

“Three types of firearms and various bombs can be mass-produced as long as they are Silver quality or below. We just need to slightly modify the production lines, but there are only two small production lines in total, one of which is primarily for crafting various bullets.”

A small production line is worth more than sixty million Dragon Coins, and this doesn’t even include the manual labor costs for the modifications that she needs to do herself.

Previously, Zi Liyuan didn’t have enough liquid funds, so he only set up two lines.

“Given sufficient materials, around the clock, how much gunpowder bullets can one small production line produce in 24 hours? What about machine guns or bombs?”

Bullets are an absolute necessity for firearms and a major consumable. If you really start an arms company, once you’ve made your mark, the bullets consumed could only be described by astronomical numbers.

The wear and tear on firearms isn’t as extensive, but with a population of over ten billion in the Great Xia Empire, there’s a massive market demand.

Bombs are consumables, and since they inflict indiscriminate damage – harming friend and foe alike save for the user – they are only suitable for soloing dungeons or as a last resort for survival.

“With ample materials, basically, it takes 10 seconds to craft 100 bullets. With non-stop production for 24 hours, a small production line can craft up to 864,000 bullets.

Model One pistols can be manufactured and assembled in about one minute per piece. Thus, with non-stop production for 24 hours, a small production line can produce 1,440 Model One pistols.

Model One bombs can be manufactured and assembled in about two minutes per bomb. Therefore, with non-stop production for 24 hours, a small production line can produce 720 Model One bombs.”

The higher the quality of the item, the longer the production time. The Model One firearms and bombs are basically Green quality.

Shen Yurou had conducted research on these mechanical creations and had produced them using automatic production lines, so the data was fairly accurate.

“How can there be such a big difference compared to handcrafting?”

Zi Liyuan could never have imagined that the production speed of small production lines for these standard equipment items would be so much slower than manual labor.

To think, when Shen Yurou first handcrafted basic gunpowder bullets, she could produce 6,000 per minute, a full 30 sets!

“What did you expect? Now you know why so many factories love to hire Mechanics who can turn screws,”

Shen Yurou gave him a disdainful glance as she spoke somewhat mockingly.

Mechanics can increase the production speed of mechanical creations and even powerful Mechanics are capable of modifying them to improve the finished products.

At the same time, Shen Yurou felt fortunate that by following Zi Liyuan, she was on the path to rise and would become a pioneering figure for all Mechanics!

“It seems that we need to recruit more Mechanics to join our ranks,”

Automatic production was not as fast as manual craftwork – who could argue with that?

Li Yuan could only say that this is truly a world where the game invaded reality; normal rules were meant to be broken.

“Most Mechanics are now working in factories turning screws. If we want to recruit a batch, we’ll just have to look at recent graduates like us,”

Any mechanic with a little bit of manual dexterity is basically in high demand by those groups that own factories, and the salary is above average among ordinary professionals.

“You should keep an eye out, especially try to see if there are any talents similar to your own. After all, once they’ve signed the Boundary Sea Contract, they can’t betray you.”

Zi Liyuan’s principle was that if there’s no servitude contract, there’s nothing to discuss; he simply couldn’t be bothered to spend the effort in nurturing them.

But once they’d signed a servitude contract, they were his own people, and he would definitely take the time to cultivate them, even helping them become vassal lords in the future.

Don’t take being a vassal lord lightly. After entering the Sea of Realms, any lord is countless times stronger than those adventurers who travel alone.

As for becoming a lord, you need the Lord’s Heart, and for Zi Liyuan, this was truly not a difficult task.

He had already planned to wait until he reached the Fourth Order Level 100 Peak, then he would go to the deep mountains and forests, targeting monster lairs to find wild instances.

Others might raid ten or a hundred wild instances and still not get a single Lord’s Heart, but who is he?

Fortune’s goddess might as well have N legs with him; he’d ask her to wear black stockings, ensuring a hundred percent chance of dropping the Lord’s Heart. Wasn’t that like controlling it at will?

“I will keep that in mind,” Yurou said, nodding her head. She was certainly happy to find someone to assist her, as she was currently overwhelmed with too much research to manage on her own.

Especially now that she had to take care of Zi Liyuan’s concubines as well, this made her even more furious.

However, after learning about the detailed situation of Fan Yuer and her sisters, she understood the importance of these four sisters to Zi Liyuan; otherwise, she wouldn’t bother to specially craft leveling gear for these four fox spirits!

“In a few days, I will get a few large-scale automatic production lines for you to modify. After we successfully enroll, we’ll open an arms company in the Capital under the identity of Dragon Academy students.”

An arms company capable of influencing the Blue Star’s situation would inevitably be under official and military supervision, but with the backing of Dragon Academy, this supervision would certainly be relatively relaxed.

Zi Liyuan planned to bring both the officials and the military into the company.

Take the exoskeleton armor for example; from the beginning, he had no intention of selling it to civilian professionals but planned to sell it exclusively to city defense forces and the police bureau.

As for the military, he planned to wait until Yurou’s technology became even more mature, then produce Gundam mechas or Zaku mechas, and then sell them exclusively to the military.

For civilian professionals, the basic products would be the gunman series, machine gun series, bomb series, and small-scale military robot series.

As for Yurou, if she were to research something like tanks, “Dongfeng Express,” or nuclear peacemakers in the future, those were definitely not items that could be allowed into circulation.

So, from the beginning, he had planned to pull both the officials and the military into his company, while also obtaining a large number of orders with their help.

They could also use these two channels to obtain countless high-quality resources and even accumulate vast Sea of Realms resources for entering the Sea of Realms.

“You handle these matters as you see fit. I’m going to continue making the Type 2 robots. Oh, Fan Yuer is looking for you; please visit their lab. Apparently, they have concocted some new potion.”

After casually mentioning this, Yurou started packing all sorts of mechanical creations she had taken out into her Spatial Backpack.
