Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

【No.: Y-007】

[Name: Carrot Rat]

[Category: Mammalia, Rodents, Muridae]

[Rarity: White Ordinary]

[Introduction: A strange creature born in an abandoned land. It may have some self-cognition disorder. It often regards itself as a carrot planted in the ground. It likes to eat fallen leaves and rotten things. Its edible value is unknown and whether it can be eaten is unknown. 】

[Remark 1: Traveling by jumping, the maximum hanging time is about 3 seconds]

Leon picked up the pen in his hand, and after hesitating for a moment, he added on the brown paper:

[Remark 2: Request Governor Todd of Fort Wilson to organize manpower to round up and confirm whether they are edible and whether they have other uses]

Finally done.

Leon closed the page and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

I saw a line of large characters written on the cover of the book - The Abandoned Land Creature Illustration.

The abandoned land has infinite possibilities, so every creature has the value of recording.

Now that they have come, Leon, as a lord, simply records the creatures that appear in the abandoned land on the pages of the book, and at least he can achieve the achievement of writing a book.

So during these days, Todd, as the governor of Fort Wilson, has been arranging expeditions to Antolia in different directions, while Leon was around Fort Wilson, recording those who fled from the depths of the abandoned land. Creatures come out.

The carrot mouse numbered Y-007 is just one of them.

In addition, Leon also recorded the basic information of a series of other creatures such as grass lizards and moon moths.

Although it is not detailed, and it is impossible to understand the application value of all the creatures in the abandoned land in such a short period of time, it is still a good start.

Especially grass lizards!

【No.: Y-006】

[Name: Grass Lizard]

[Category: Squamata, Lizardidae, Lizards, Reptiles]

[Rarity: Unknown]

[Introduction: A strange creature born in an abandoned land. It carries a bush or thorn on its back. It eats very slowly. It will leave obvious traces on the surface when it travels. Every once in a while, it will spit out grass seeds or other things in its mouth. Crop seeds]

[Note 1: Collecting the spitted crop seeds and confirming whether they can be planted is of great significance to increase the Antolian people’s botanical understanding of the abandoned land]

[Note 2: Check whether the crop seeds spit out are different from those before swallowing]

Leon still doesn't know what the carrot mouse is used for.

But he at least knew that the grass lizards might bring great impetus to the Antorians' exploration of the abandoned land.

The grass lizard's active attack ability is almost non-existent.

The passive defense ability is also very good.

Even if they carry a bush or thorn on their back, that thing has no defensive capabilities and can only be used to camouflage themselves.

so……

The Antolians can determine the path of the grass lizards by tracing their movements.

And since there are no aggressive grass lizards, they can follow this path to reach Fort Wilson on the edge of the abandoned land, which means that there is a high probability that there are no aggressive creatures along the way.

If this is the case, can Antolia's expedition team also follow the traces of grass lizards and reach other locations deep in the abandoned land?

You know, before that, Todd and Hussein followed the trace left by one of the grass lizards and arrived at the wilderness crack deep in the abandoned land!

This idea obviously has certain feasibility!

As for the crop seeds spit out by the grass lizards...

Leon's idea is very direct. Regardless of anything else, wait until next spring to plant it first!

Your Majesty the Marquis.

The sound coming from outside the camp interrupted Leon's thoughts.

Enter!

Hearing this, Todd opened the door of the governor's tent and slowly came to Leon: Mr. Marquis, are you looking for me?

Seeing the visitor, Leon put his index finger in front of his mouth and shushed softly.

The warm stones arranged in the corner of the table exuded a comfortable warmth. The piggy bear was leaning on the side, and the gray fluff on its belly rose and fell with its breathing. It was obvious that it had already fallen asleep.

Leon stood up from his seat, gently picked up the little pig and bear, and carried him to the custom-made bed in the corner of the tent.

Then he returned to Todd.

The three new expedition teams are ready and plan to set off early tomorrow morning.

Todd said truthfully: Two of the teams will go to the wilderness crack to determine the length of the crack as soon as possible, and the other team will explore in other directions by tracking the grass lizard's footprints.

In addition, I have asked people to step up repairs. The walls of Fort Wilson will probably be completed in the spring of next year.

Hearing this, Leon nodded with satisfaction.

What do the elves say?

This is not the first time that the elves have heard such a violent roar, but... the elves! The Marquis also knows that, they never care about everything that happens outside the Moon Shadow Forest. So for that wilderness crack, The elves are also hard-pressed to help.”

Todd said helplessly.

He really couldn't understand. During these years of black mist, had no elf ever thought of stepping out of the Abandoned Land?

This is the racial trait of the elves.

Leon smiled bitterly, but then changed the topic:

But... this saves a lot of trouble. Since the elves only care about their Moon Shadow Forest, then naturally the vast land of the Abandoned Land belongs to the Antorians!

Leon didn't intend to use his brain on the Moon Elf's Moon Shadow Forest.

Leon's desire for land is far from that strong.

The land in the Abandoned Land is so vast, and the Moon Elf clan is now an ally of the Jimena family. Naturally, there is no need to break this thriving cooperative relationship.

As long as the moon elves are willing to trade with humans, and as long as the elven long archers can accept employment from the Jimena family, then for Leon, this is enough!

After pondering for a moment, Leon finally asked:

if……

I mean, if, if the wilderness rift really splits the abandoned land in two, then when will the Antolians be able to take all the land north of the wilderness rift into their hands.

Hearing this, Todd's heart suddenly trembled.

Open up territory and expand territory.

This is a big deal in any era!

If it is really done, then not only Leon himself, but also Todd will be remembered in history!

It depends on the construction speed of the Shadow Manipulator.

Todd responded confidently.

…

As the basis for the Antolian people to dispel the black mist, not only has the construction of the Shadow Manipulator been highly valued by Leon, but its level of confidentiality has always been the highest level in Antolia.

Therefore, when Leon returned from the abandoned land, the craftsman's workshop responsible for building the shadow manipulator was the first place Leon went.

Oh! My dear Lord Marquis!

Your arrival makes Sherman feel very happy, but Sherman has to say that according to today's production capacity, ten to twelve shadow manipulators can usually be built in a week.

Sherman also wants to build more, but every part needs to be refined!

Faced with Leon's question, the dwarf craftsman Sherman took the initiative to answer.

not enough……

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but shook his head.

The land in the Abandoned Land is particularly vast. Just like Governor Wilson said, it's not that they can't develop fast enough, but that any development must wait for the completion of the shadow manipulator.

How much does the Marquis hope to produce per week?

Sherman must try his best! Otherwise, let damn Hillman kick Sherman's ass!

You know, Sherman is afraid of pain the most! Sherman will definitely fulfill the Marquis' instructions! Because Sherman wants to prove that he is a stronger dwarf craftsman than Hillman!

When Sherman was a child, Sherman aspired to be...

Leon felt very tired every time he talked to the dwarf.

Because of the chatty nature of dwarves, they always go further and further and talk endlessly.

Ahem! The more, the better. It's best to build hundreds of shadow manipulators every week.

finally……

While Sherman was breathing, Leon said bluntly.

Hundreds of units?!

The moment he heard the numbers in Leon's words, Sherman, who was originally confident, suddenly shrank.

Because to him, this number is really outrageous.

Oh my God!

The Almighty God of Craftsmen! The Great Lord Marquis!

That's hundreds of shadow manipulators. No dwarf craftsman can build hundreds of them in just one week!

I am willing to swear that I will never eat white bread again. No dwarf craftsman can produce such efficiency!

Of course Sherman is willing to serve the Marquis wholeheartedly, but I'm afraid Sherman can't do this...

Gradually……

Sherman's voice trailed off.

There was a hint of grievance on the face of the dwarf craftsman.

He raised his head and looked at Leon's face, and even squeezed out a trace of tears from the corners of his eyes.

Then change the mode.

Leon was unmoved at all.

Leon has always attached great importance to any dwarf craftsman and has always respected their opinions.

but……

There is no room for compromise when it comes to the Abandoned Land.

Nowadays, the existence of the wilderness rift has actually created a relatively stable rear for the Antolians.

If he could not seize the opportunity to do something in the abandoned land, Leon would even feel sorry for the ancestors of the Jimena family, sorry for his identity as a time traveler, and even more sorry for his golden finger.

A different mode?

Sherman was stunned for a moment and asked: Does the Marquis want me to recruit more people? But you said before that the Shadow Manipulator is Antolia's top secret and must not be leaked.

If the number of people increases, the difficulty of keeping secrets will inevitably rise sharply, and the newly recruited craftsmen may not be able to keep improving.

There is an old saying among dwarf craftsmen, there is no experience...

Sherman!

Leon had to interrupt the dwarf in front of him: I mean...just like the potion production factory in Antolia, different people are responsible for completely different links.

“The collection and transportation of different raw materials, and the creation and production of different parts are all carried out by different hands.”

For example, a group of craftsmen are dispatched to polish the live wood sent from the Sunken Wood Forest.

Additional manpower is being dispatched to take care of the production of the remaining components.

Wait until the last step, and then all these parts will be shipped here for final assembly, and their accuracy and reliability will be fully checked.

Hearing this, Sherman confirmed:

You mean...you mentioned assembly line production before?

yes!

Do you think it's feasible? Leon asked.

Allowing the newly recruited craftsmen to be responsible for different batches of parts may indeed improve efficiency to a certain extent, but... Lord Marquis, after all, they are newly recruited. I am afraid that when they first start, the parts they create will be somewhat different. A lot of scraps.”

Don't worry about that.

Leon said in a deep voice.

Although Leon is very eager for mechanized assembly lines.

But this is obviously unrealistic.

so……

Only a weakened version of assembly line production can be selected.

But even so, after the craftsmen become skilled workers under the influence of the learning effect, their efficiency will definitely be much higher than the current production model.

The so-called learning effect is not something Leon fabricated out of thin air.

Its generally accepted definition means that workers, technicians, managers and other personnel of an enterprise can accumulate experience in product production, technical design and management during the long-term production process, thereby reducing long-term average costs and improving production efficiency by increasing output.

At the same time, the learning effect is also one of the reasons why the manufacturer's long-term average cost curve presents a U-shaped structure.

A short-term decrease in production capacity will lead to higher efficiency and higher output in the future.

Leon is happy to accept this.

If that's the case, Sherman will definitely do his best to fulfill the Marquis's orders.

Sherman can do it!

If the output of shadow manipulators can exceed one hundred, then you will be the youngest viscount among the dwarves!

If you want people to work hard, you must give them enough carrots.

Given the importance of the Abandoned Land to the Jimena family, it would not be too much to be granted the title of a count, let alone a viscount.

Leon has never cared much about this kind of honorary title.

If one day, the Jimena family can really take over the entire territory of the Abandoned Land, then even if the titles of all the people in the territory are raised to the next level, so that everyone in the territory is a knight, it will definitely not It's an impossible thing.

Paint a big pie!

It's just that the cakes drawn by Leon are always big and round, and at the same time, they also feel like they can be reached by just jumping around.

No more today.
