The next morning, after Altair was woken up by Irene, the first thing he saw was a bag and letters on the "bedside table" not far from his bed.

In stark contrast to her were the servants busily attending to her, who seemed to be deliberately avoiding looking at the "bedside table." They never glanced at that spot, so no one noticed anything on the table until she finished washing up.

After the servant left, Altair went to the bedside table, picked up the special letter, and opened it to find:

Last night, as promised, I delivered the items you requested, but finding you sound asleep, I didn't want to disturb you, so I left them in a bag on the bedside table. The way to open the bag is: Hermes "open." Since there are many items, I suggest opening them from the separate compartment in the "Jewelry Box." I hope this suits your needs. If anything is missing or needs to be replaced, simply let me know, and I will arrange it for you as soon as possible.

May you sleep soundly last night.

"Adam"

This shows that Adam is quite considerate of his subordinates. After returning from the Twilight Hermit Society last night, Altair went straight to sleep because she really didn't expect that the task of collecting raw materials and Robot entrusted to Adam could be completed so quickly.

However, did they really finish collecting the raw materials that quickly, or was everything arranged by the script...?

After reading the letter left by Adam, Altair immediately used "Black Flame" to ignite it, making sure the letter burned completely and left no hidden dangers.

She picked up the bag beside her and examined it closely. The material had an indescribable leather-like feel, and the exterior was plain and unremarkable. If it weren't for the faint Spirituality emanating from it, Altair would have thought Adam was playing a trick on her.

After examining it, I couldn't help but sigh again, "The Door Pathway ' is really useful, whether it's its Beyonder Characteristic or the creation of abilities. I wonder when I'll come across one."

If we happen to meet, I will guarantee, using my "Savant" Pathway, that I will absolutely extract every last drop of value from you and not waste a single bit.

As for Bexland, that Salted Fish -nothing, forget about her. She's just a nobody, with a low Sequence. Even if you squeeze her dry, she won't produce anything good.

After expressing his feelings, Altair directly meditated and connected with the "Castle" deep within his consciousness, allowing his true body to enter the "Library" in the Spirit Realm.

After finding the "Jewelry Box," they used Spirituality communication to enter its associated space.

Completely different from the independent world I had imagined, there were no mountains or water here, only a quiet and enclosed space with a tiny, extremely faint light source.

The faint light felt not like the warmth of Sun to Altair, but rather icy cold. If she hadn't known beforehand why she was there, she would have left this space long ago.

After picking up the bag, Altair calmly said in Hermes Language, "Open," while facing the opening.

Before she finished speaking, silvery ripples appeared at the mouth of the bag, and a palm-sized, semi-transparent portal materialized out of thin air. Following Altair's thoughts, the items in the bag floated out one by one and were neatly arranged where she wanted them.

Looking around at the items, from Robot to raw materials, Altair couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't ' Evil God ' supposed to be poor? Why is Adam so rich?" After finishing organizing the Robot, Altair left the "Jewelry Box" space.

After having breakfast at the restaurant, they returned to this special space with the items that Old Clayton had prepared.

Perhaps to satisfy his wicked sense of humor, Altair deliberately chose the "Mosin-Nagant Rifle," intending to make the world repeat the great battle between "German-equipped divisions and Soviet-equipped divisions."

Then he took out another "Sealed Artifact, the Machinery Hivemind," which was the pale yellow transparent crystal given to him by Adam. Altair named it "The Machinery Hivemind."

Once it had it in its hands, Altair used its second ability, "Infuse with Spirituality to Summon Steam Elemental Warrior."

With the summoning complete, Altair manipulated them with her mind, beginning to place and debug the machinery. She prepared to start production using an efficient division of labor and assembly line method.

Once everything was ready, Altair activated "Ability 1" Spirituality and used it in combination with "Ability 2".

While controlling multiple Machine Tools to simultaneously manufacture items such as gun barrels (drilling and rifling), receivers (milling and drilling), firing mechanisms, and stocks, Steam Elemental Warrior place semi-finished products onto the Machine Tools.

The first Mosin-Nagant took Altair a full 30 minutes to complete. After examining the rifle in her hand and confirming that there were no problems, she used the Sealed Artifact to make the Machine Tools "go full power", constantly squeezing the power of the Robot. Subsequent guns were produced like dumplings being dropped into a pot, with a qualified rifle coming off the production line every 5 minutes.

When the three-hour journey ended, Altair noticed the faint gear-like patterns appearing on his skin and was forced to halt his work, thinking to himself, "It seems that even with my ' High Status,' I can't influence the side effects of this ' Sealed Artifact ' itself."

Back in the real world, Altair began to ponder, "How can we maximize production within a fixed timeframe?"

Replacing this space with a real-world worker recruitment plan is definitely not an option. Although she can use Sealed Artifact to create a closed factory, no one would choose to work in such a factory.

If the restrictions are lifted, the workers will definitely spread rumors everywhere, and if that attracts the attention of MI9 spies, it will be a case of more harm than good.

Although she did not recognize George III and had no sense of belonging to the country, it did not change the fact that this matter was essentially "treason and collusion," and she would certainly face persecution if discovered.

Moreover, manual manufacturing isn't necessarily faster than using machinery... Machinery... Yes, I can design a special production line, just like fully automated production.

Without hesitation, Altair left the "Jewelry Box" and began searching the "Library" for usable optimization solutions.

The widespread adoption of specialized Machine Tools in the fully automated weapon production system, as described in "The Evolution of Gun Making," includes Deep Hole Boring Machine (specifically designed for drilling gun barrels, dozens of times faster than manual drilling) Rifling Machine (which create multiple rifling grooves at once)...

And this "Artillery Automatic Weapon Optimization Design" could reduce the number of parts and lower accuracy requirements... forget about that. After all, our selling point is high-precision, high-powered weapons. If we can't even meet these requirements, she's really afraid no one will buy it.

However, he could wait until they escalated the war further before guiding them to propose a simplified solution, since his weapons weren't cheap. At that moment Altair thought, "I'm so good to them, even thinking of finding optimization solutions for them. I'm a good person."
