After the metal-sphere "batteries" were inserted, the simple production machines began to whine, like hungry babies crying to be fed.
"Load the raw materials!"
Lin Yuan waved his hand, and Zhang Da and the others immediately fed the materials they had prepared into the machines' intake ports.
These materials consisted of trees Zhang Da and the others had felled nearby, along with the metal materials Wuwei had previously given Lin Yuan.
Once the materials entered the machines, Zhang Da and the others immediately took their places beside them and began operating them according to the earlier instructions.
Calling it operating was a stretch. It was incredibly simple.
Each machine had a knob. If its whining grew too loud, they turned the knob down; otherwise, they turned it up.
Anyone with hands could do it.
Zhang Da and the others might not have seen much of the world, but they were no fools. They soon got the hang of it.
Ten minutes later, the machines "spat" finished planks and parts out of their output ports.
"It worked!"
At the sight, Lin Yuan clenched his fists in quiet excitement.
These machines used simple materials, served a single purpose, and had low production efficiency.
In ten minutes, each could produce only one plank or metal part.
The Production Workshop aboard the Phantom Lin Yuan could do it in five minutes.
But these machines had numbers on their side!
Little Black had spent most of the day on design. Actually producing these four machines had taken only four hours.
And together, the four machines had twice the production efficiency of the Production Workshop.
According to Little Black's earlier estimates, fully repairing the Lin Yuan would require thousands of planks and parts.
Producing those alone would take over a week.
Now, by producing a few
