Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#551 - About Fantasy Technology

After returning to the academy, Liang Yue was unable to settle down and focus on teaching and educating people, preparing lessons, etc., because he still had another urgent matter at hand.

That was to put the large number of factories, machinery, and production lines that he had scavenged from Europe and the United States into practical use.

At the very least, he needed to take out a portion of them to start factories, build various related workshops, and preferably form a complete industrial system.

Otherwise, wouldn't his efforts be wasted?

And all of this would require a lot of time and resources to handle.

In the stronghold world, the AI Xiaowu only needed to leave a seed of each type of industrialized machinery, and after that, it could assemble complete sets and continuously supply Liang Yue's business.

Of course, starting factories and building supporting industrial parks were not urgent matters.

Because at present, Liang Yue's main energy still had to be focused on the management of his own academy and mountain gate.

There was a priority of importance and urgency, and the original intention of bringing back those resources was also to supply the daily consumption and cultivation of the mountain gate.

For example, the firearms and bullets needed for Gun Kata.

In order to increase safety during cultivation and practice, Liang Yue had already ordered Xiaowu to specially produce a batch of colored paintballs made of plastic and rubber, and even the kind used in real-person CS games in later generations, as well as corresponding firearms, for early practical use by his disciples several months ago.

In addition, although the principle of firearms was not difficult, and professionals could even manufacture them manually in the workshop, other supporting materials still required a lot of professional supply processes.

Therefore, what Liang Yue needed to set up first was a complete military weapon production line that could operate independently!

The raw materials were relatively easy to solve, because both the Beiyang government in the north and the Nanjing government had stuffed a lot of people into his academy.

Now, the two sides could be said to have mutual needs, and Liang Yue was not unwilling to pay, so there should be no problem with the raw material channels.

The establishment and operation of the factory, as well as the selection of corresponding sites, would take some time.

Fortunately, this was not too difficult for Liang Yue.

In order to implement the distribution of trafficked children to their homes as soon as possible, he had once given ten places to the local gentry and lower-level clerks alone.

These places were obviously not given for nothing.

Therefore, even if he went through normal channels and approval procedures, it only took two days to get the site required for the military factory and the corresponding business license approved smoothly.

The land was still near the small town at the foot of Taibai Mountain, but it was some distance away from the academy, but it was relatively close to the location of the mountain gate, but it was still within the scope of the town.

After getting the land, Liang Yue did not bother others this time, and led Xiaozhao and the other women to work hard.

Leveling the ground, laying the foundation stones, building the factory buildings, connecting the water source, creating the basement, building high walls around... In short, it took them half a day to deal with all of this.

But if you want to run a factory, you have to have someone to operate it.

The current situation was unstable. After Yuan Datou's downfall, a turmoil and separatism were about to come. Reliable people were not easy to find.

Especially like Liang Yue, who was already semi-publicly recruiting disciples from the alien world, was the focus of attention of some interested people.

His every move might be spread to the ears of many people through certain channels.

At this moment, there might be many such people hidden in this small town, or even in his own academy.

Among them, some were professionals, and some were probably just working part-time.

But their existence posed a considerable risk to Liang Yue's academy, sect, and the upcoming military factory and weapon production line.

Fortunately, Liang Yue had a way to deal with them!

After he finished his work, a comprehensive search and investigation campaign would also be launched in the academy.

... ...

"First, recruit some people from the town to set up the framework, set up several layers of mental suggestion for the workers, and I will leave a shadow clone here to sit in the dark.

In addition, corresponding monitoring equipment must also be installed in some important places to prevent accidents. For the time being, let's do this first."

After finishing the simple construction of the construction site, Liang Yue and others were now walking slowly on the mountain road back to the academy, sweating all over.

"Hmm ~ Good idea."

"In addition, I think there can't be only one arsenal, there must be one on Taibai Mountain, the scale doesn't have to be too large, enough for the sect to use by itself."

"Hmm hmm ~!"

"I agree too."

"And in terms of equipment, we can't just limit ourselves to some firearms, artillery, and conventional weapons such as locomotives and tanks. We also have to develop some new things."

"What do you mean?"

"In short, it's the kind that can help us fight better."

"Is it necessary to constantly research and innovate in this area?"

"Yes! But regarding this point, we can also find inspiration from some fantasy works of later generations."

"However, if you want to develop fantasy technology, even if we have Xiaowu, it may not be easy."

"Isn't there still a Green Lantern ring that can materialize imaginary things? With such convenient abilities, I think ~ it must not all be empty thoughts.

There must be some principles and laws in it. If we figure these out, and then let Xiaowu take it for research, the difficulty should be reduced a lot ~"

"Hey ~ Can that Green Lantern ring be used like this?"

"That's right, I didn't think about it that way before!"

"The combination of fantasy technology and real technology, plus we can also use mysterious side energies such as true qi and magic, should bring more possibilities ~"

"If this is the case, it won't be long before our equipment should be upgraded."

"But before that, we have to first determine a direction for development, after all, there are too many types of fantasy technology, with thousands of clues.

If we let Xiaowu develop wildly, the efficiency will be too low."

"The research direction, of course, is to first pick the problems we need to solve urgently, such as... flying?"

"Flying with external objects? Just like the magic weapons in those novels?"

"Magic weapons are not just technological products."

"The combination of technology and the mysterious side, our knowledge reserve in this area seems to be a bit insufficient."

"You can ask Nesta again ~"

"Well, let's take it step by step, first solve the technological problems, and then talk about integration."

"Yes, start with the simplest, such as single-person flight equipment!"

"Isn't that ~ Iron Man armor?"

"... ... It doesn't have to be that complicated ~"

"If that's the case... ..."
