After meeting Master Segna for the first time, Sylutia was led by the staff to the mansion arranged for her. It was indeed very wide, and even if it accommodated the forty accompanying members, it was still enough.
After settling in, the accompanying Inspection Department team members first conducted a large inspection of the residence, and the rest of the team took inventory of the furniture, items, food reserves, etc. After listing the missing and needed parts, a few people went out to purchase, while the remaining people cleaned the rooms where they would sleep tonight, and then put down their luggage.
In the evening, the accompanying chef prepared a delicious meal, and it was also the first time for Xilu Tia to have dinner with everyone.
She sat at the head of the long table, first briefly asked about the situation, and also informed everyone of the current situation.
"We have just arrived at Mishir District. There is no need to rush into action. You can familiarize yourself with the environment first. Go to the market, streets, local Alchemy workshops and Mission Hall to understand the situation and situation here."
"I will study the information handed over by Master Segna with some staff, and get familiar with the system he built as soon as possible. If you have any ideas and suggestions during the period, you can report to me." After saying this, dinner officially started.
There is strength in numbers, no matter in which field. With the help of these accompanying personnel, she can spend all her energy and time studying the information given by Master Segna, instead of spending a lot of time socializing and obtaining local intelligence.
In the following week, Sylutia basically stayed in the mansion and did not go out. However, the people who came with her quickly became familiar with the environment here.
They compiled local prices, various industries, and the main goods coming and going here into a list, and then calculated the approximate profits of each industry field, and also learned about the major local factions and forces, etc.
If Sylutia were to do all this alone, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to be completed in a month, but with these accompanying people, it can be sorted out in two weeks.
On the tenth day after arriving at Mishir District, Sylutia had already read the information handed over by Master Segna. However, these things were very complicated and involved many unfamiliar fields. It was a bit difficult for her to fully understand them.
It is a reasonable guess that Master Segna is not good at teaching students. The so-called key points mean that a book is full of key points. Of course he knows how to do it himself. He has subconscious habits and many prerequisite skills that he has long forgotten when he learned them. But for these deputies who come here to learn and receive tasks, they are completely confused.
In the next week, Sylutia basically searched for various information in the library and asked some skilled personnel in the Mage Guild who had participated in the test and work process of Master Segna.
Like a puzzle, she completes the missing pieces through context and the overall flow of thought.
After all this, on the 18th day after arriving at Mishir District, Sylutia had a general understanding of the information in this document, but there was still a long way to go before mastering it.
She rented a test workshop in the Mage union, and found several engineers and Mage who had participated in the local Steam Locomotive manufacturing. She began to reproduce some of the techniques and things in the data, and compared the structure of the most cutting-edge Steam Engine locomotives on the market.
It took her nearly ten days to get through the entire knowledge system and understand the operating modes of each part and the whole, as well as the performance differences and characteristics between various structures.
One month was over and it was time for her to report to Master Segna.
During this month, several other deputies "also got to know this girl from the Mithril Clock" school. Of course, they were looking at the joke because before Sylutia came, they had all suffered at this stage and spent a lot of energy and effort to barely understand the complicated and trivial information given by Master Segna.
At the end of the month, Master Segna put down his work and took an afternoon to check Xilu Tia's progress and assess her mastery.
The two walked into a workshop exclusive to Master Segna, where there were many unfinished parts.
"Hedra, this month has passed. Have you read the information I gave you?"
"I've finished reading it, Master." The girl nodded behind the other person and replied.
"Very good, then tell me about the structure of Lion Head's body, as well as its advantages and disadvantages." Master Segna decided to ask something simple first.
"Okay." Sylutia recalled what he had learned during this period.
The "Lion Head" body adopts a frame that is different from the traditional shaft transmission. The four wheels can move up and down independently. This can adapt to complex geographical environments, but the disadvantage is that it is prone to failure and the manufacturing difficulty is also increased."
"In addition, the reason why it is named Lion Head is because its engine is in the front, and the excess heat emitted will spread along the engraved metal Lion mane, forming a powerful cascading fire wave. Guided by the lines on the lion's mane, these fire waves can effectively reduce air resistance, modify the aerodynamic contours of the body, and greatly reduce resistance during high-speed driving."
"Very good, now there is a prepared Chrome Silver board", you can make it into a Blue Sparrow Feather "body side panel."
This job not only tests theory, but also has high requirements on actual rune carving skills and metal processing skills. Even a skilled carver or rune enchanter Mage will find it difficult to succeed in the first try.
Sylutia raised her hand, and a blue phantom wrist appeared behind her. She picked up the metal plate, and then four small Steel Shadow Demon Hand" processed and carved the metal plate at the same time. After about half an hour, a metal plate that looked like an enlarged single wing of a bird was formed.
If the actual high-end Steam Locomotive is produced, this lifelike Flying Bird wing will be the side door and armor of the car body. While giving the car body excellent side defense, it can also allow the Steam Locomotive to gain short-term gliding ability and prevent it from easily rolling over and deviating from the direction in the side wind.
Holding Sylutia's masterpiece in his hand, Master Segna stroked and inspected it carefully, and then nodded.
"Very good. It seems that you have managed it very well during this time."
After that, he asked a lot of questions, and the questions became more complicated. He also asked Sylutia to reproduce it manually twice to test whether she really mastered it.
In the evening, Master Segna, who had already checked the learning status of Sylutia, was quite satisfied.
"Now I understand why Master Ge Zhen recommends you so much."
"In fact, I have done similar assessments and tests for several other deputies before, but they could only answer three questions at most. If they continue to answer more profound and complicated questions, they will not be able to answer them. They are full of loopholes."
"Your learning ability is very strong, and your talent is rare in my life." He stroked his gray beard, which was not long, and thought about how to arrange Sylutia in the future.
"Since you have done so well, you can start the second item." He called the assistant beside him and asked him to take out the five Memory Gem he had stored.
"As you can see, most of my abilities come from Sculpting School, especially Beast-Body Engraving"."
"In the past, this was often the technology used to carve the giant beast-shaped Golem to create huge war machines."
"And I am the first person to miniaturize it and integrate it with the Steam Locomotive industry."
The Steam Locomotive I designed does not adopt the traditional simple shape, but has various structures similar to animal bodies. These shaped Steam Locomotives often have unique shapes that attract people's attention, and they also have many abilities that ordinary Steam Locomotives do not have.
"Over the years, I have tried many detailed templates. These are the five most perfect models. You choose any of them, and then I will assign you a workshop that is good at that model, and you will make some minor improvements and innovations based on my design, and finally produce the finished product."
"You have up to three months to complete this test. If the results are still excellent this time, I will recognize your talent and strength and begin to teach you more secret techniques and the experience I have accumulated over the years." He said slowly.
It seems that this is the second test, and after this time, she can truly become the master's deputy and begin to enter the local core circle.
The process seemed very easy. Sylutia thought about it. Before she came, she thought it would be as difficult as building a rocket, and she would have to go through five levels and kill six generals to get the result.
After this assessment, Master Segna seemed to have a lot more patience. He began to patiently explain some issues to Sylutia, and told her the current mainstream development direction of Steam Locomotive, as well as the characteristics of each genre.
"At present, the production areas of Steam Locomotive in the Alliance are mainly concentrated in Terize District"Angodra District"Connors District"Mishir District", among which Terize District" is the residence of the Sun Furnace" school of thought. It is rich in all kinds of Fire Seed" and has many super mechanical creation workshops. Steam Locomotive is just a smaller project branch among them."
"Angodra District" is the residence of Orichalcum School. They are good at metal smelting, especially the production of precious metal orichalcum, which is one of the three most perfect and powerful metals to date. Chariot made of orichalcum is also an unstoppable behemoth on the battlefield."
"Connors District" is the station of Fire Spirit School". They are good at gunpowder and explosion skills. The most cutting-edge masterpiece at present is Fire-Breathing Dragon Airship", which is a new technology that can rewrite the mode of war., and they transplanted part of the technology to the Steam Locomotive, adding a flame pipe to the rear of the car, so that it can advance at high speed and glide briefly. At the same time, it uses the flame system to quickly adjust the direction and obtain powerful steering capabilities, which has few rivals in the high-speed field."
"Compared with the first three, our Mishir District's Sculpting Locomotive combines rune carving and motorcycle power systems, and transfers the previous Golem skills to Steam Locomotive, giving it the ability to gain various expertise."
"In addition to these four major producing areas, there are also areas and workshops that produce Steam Locomotive in other places, but their strength is far inferior to these four major producing areas. They can only make common styles, and it is difficult to be innovative and produce excellent works."
When Master Segna fully explained the situation of Steam Locomotive industry in the Mage Alliance, Xilu Tia finally understood why he was so anxious.
Compared to the previous factions, which have obvious advantages and are irreplaceable, Sculpting Locomotive"'s style is distinctive, but it is also the one most likely to fall behind.
The Sun Furnace "school masters the Alliance's most advanced and powerful Fire Seed" manufacturing techniques. No matter what kind of large-scale machinery or high-end Steam Locomotive, they all need the Fire Seed produced by their school. This is like the company with the best battery technology in the previous life that transformed into the production of new energy vehicles and has an inherent advantage.
"Orichalcum School" is similar. They have the best metal smelting skills and output capabilities. Such excellent raw materials must be supplied to their own faction's creations first. The strength of the mechanical creations produced can easily exceed the works of other factions.
Sculpting Locomotive of Mishir District"Although there are many merits, their rune carving and casting technology is not absolute, at least in Sylutia's opinion, The rune enchantment technology of Mithril Clock's school is stronger than that of Sculpting School's, and it can produce extremely fine part structures, which is difficult to achieve with the rough style of Sculpting School.
Other schools also have similar rune carving techniques. If given time, they can catch up by imitating the "Sculpting Locomotive" model, so they do not have irreplaceable advantages.
In fact, if the Mithril Clock school of thought had not shouldered the various responsibilities of the Alliance and had no manpower to delve into this low-profit Steam Locomotive field, I am afraid that it would not have been the turn of the Segna masters to develop the Mishir District Steam Locomotive industry.
This time, Sylutia was sent here, probably thinking that if successful, he would directly take over the technical system of Mishir District and absorb it into his own school. With the strength of Mithril Clock's school, he could develop its technology to the extreme and easily compete with several other major schools.
While thinking about it, Sylutia gained a new understanding of Mishir District's current situation.
After this assessment and conversation, her reputation quickly spread in the local area. This was not because of her identity and appearance, but because she was surprised that this girl could actually master the complex information handed over by Master Segna within a month.
Faced with this result, several other deputies who originally thought they would see a good show had different reactions. Some people could not sit still and began to discuss whether to do something to eliminate Sylutia from the game early.
"I still don't believe it. She must have obtained the information through other means in advance, and then studied in advance before coming to Mishir District to accept the position."
"But now the old man likes her very much. I got the news from his assistant. When he was working today, he subconsciously said a lot about her. Anyone who knows a little about the old man's style will know that this is a behavior that can only be done when he is very satisfied and appreciative."
"Mithril Clock School This trick is really cruel. I specially sent a girl with extremely outstanding and lovely appearance to be my deputy. I also prepared information for her to memorize in advance for the old man to appreciate." He shook his head and sighed with emotion.
"I would have fallen for it, after all, except for her, our senior deputies are all ordinary-looking, uninteresting engineering Mage."
"But technology is technology after all. I don't believe that a person whose fingers are not stained with oil and who never stays in the workshop and works hard can be a qualified expert in this field."
"We can no longer let her be opportunistic. Find a few people to arrange in advance for the workshop she is going to work with. I want to see how this young lady innovates and creates the work with her own hands."
"At that time, we will collect evidence that she cheated in private and found someone to create for her. Then we will spread these things and expand public opinion. In this way, even if Master Segna appreciates it, he will be suspicious in the face of the surging public opinion."
"Yes, Master Pavis." A group of people nodded in agreement and then took action.
