----Murong Mansion.
"How are things coming along, everyone?"
After returning from the Great Soul Arena, Murong Huai went to the main hall. Hearing his question, Mo Heng cupped his hands and said:
"His Highness the Holy Son, these machine tools are comprehensive in variety and truly ingenious. With them, our efficiency in making weapon parts will increase at least two or three times, and we'll greatly reduce wasted materials, too.
"Mm... judging by our assessment, we could make a complete set within two—no, one month, once we have the necessary materials.
"But..."
"But what?"
"His Highness the Holy Son, our knowledge is limited. We're puzzled by this Electric Drive Pump that makes the machine tools run, and by what wires are."
Hearing Mo Heng's words, Murong Huai explained:
"It's not complicated. This thing is much like a streetlamp: one lights up when powered, while the other runs when powered. Mm... how about this? Start by making the rest. In a few days, I'll draw up the principles behind these things, along with the materials and manufacturing process for the corresponding wires."
"Thank you, His Highness the Holy Son."
At that, Murong Huai nodded in satisfaction.
"I trust the Engineering Department's efficiency. These are Manual Machine Tools. Make a few of them first and get used to working with them. After that, there'll be more advanced CNC Machines... and plenty more for you to learn."
Mo Heng gathered all the blueprints and stood up. "Yes, His Highness the Holy Son. In that case, we'll take our leave."
Murong Huai nodded, signaling for them to go. After everyone had left, he rubbed his temples. "Looks like I'll have to teach them some basic physics. Their theory is far too outdated."
