From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 391 Automated Production Line
After everything was ready, Leng Xiyao launched the production line.

What can be called an automated production line is naturally equipped with artificial intelligence. In the definition of the Terran Empire, artificial intelligence is equivalent to a slave among intelligences. It will completely obey human instructions and use its own computing power to manipulate machines within a designated range to carry out production. There will never be the slightest overstepping of the boundaries. Those world-destroying artificial intelligences in Leng Xiyao's impression are called intelligent life in the definition of the Terran Empire. As for whether they have appeared, no one knows.

The production line also comes with some small transport carts that can replace the workers' transportation work, but large equipment such as armored vehicles still need people to drive them. Or they can manufacture large transport vehicles that can transport tanks themselves.

In addition to the cargo compartments, these carts are also equipped with various robotic arm components. They can carry all kinds of strange things and can even undertake tasks such as felling trees and mining. Even if the materials are placed dozens of kilometers away, the production line's intelligent program will assign these carts to go to the designated destination to pick them up and then put them into the starting position of the production line.

Devices operated by artificial intelligence can also be added by yourself. You only need to register the corresponding program to run it by yourself, including arranging mine carts to mine on their own, but these are limited by the computing power of artificial intelligence.

Leng Xiyao took a look and decided that under the current circumstances, adding another thousand such transport carts would not be a problem. However, this artificial intelligence was ultimately only used to match the production line, and that was its upper limit.

Unless you equip a more powerful host.

The production line possesses all the industrial technologies and production processes of the Terran Empire's 'Nova Era', and can naturally build nuclear fusion engines. Nuclear fuel only needs to be extracted from seawater, which is almost inexhaustible.

Although Douluo Continent is very vast, it is just a continent after all. You can reach the sea from any direction, east, west, south or north. The closest direction is naturally the north. If you pass through the Heart of the Far North and walk about 100,000 meters north, you will see the ocean.

Let one of the two elders Bingxue take dozens of storage cards to the sea to fill them up and bring them back. It is estimated that it will be enough for several years. It is only a matter of one day for the two of them to go back and forth.

Xue Di knew that the two were following her and were not going to the Heart of the Far North to steal valuable resources, so she naturally would not stop them. If there were no threat from Xue Di, the Far North would not have been called a human restricted area.

Without fuel concerns, subsequent production work will go extremely smoothly.

The manufacturing process is actually similar to the forging card. As long as the corresponding drawings are scanned, they can be saved permanently. Then the corresponding personnel are given operating authority, and this person can choose the items to be produced on the production line.

Leng Xiyao first input Nishizumi Miho's drawings and Lightman's recent research results, and then gave him administrator privileges.

Administrator privileges can operate assembly line production, while she herself has the highest authority, which is to set the bottom line and operating logic of artificial intelligence.

After all the drawings are entered, these designs will also show the corresponding production efficiency. For example, the main battle tank has a daily production efficiency of 200 from raw materials processing, which means that the production of each unit takes less than ten minutes on average.

This efficiency mainly depends on the abundance of materials. If the materials are not enough to produce these, the production line can also use the excess productivity to produce some other products.

The simpler the structure of the item, the shorter the manufacturing time. Similarly, if the materials thrown in are all extracted minerals, the production efficiency will be improved accordingly.

But investing in raw minerals is not without benefits. During the smelting process, the production line will actively separate other substances. These substances can be retained and extracted or directly destroyed. If retained, they will be produced in units of cubic meters. These materials can be reused in other equipment that needs these materials.

In order to test the function, Leng Xiyao directly invested dozens of tons of seized flour and set up a production line to bake small cookies.

This kind of simple product does not require blueprints. Just give the production line the instruction of "not unpalatable and filling". It is not impossible to make it delicious, but other auxiliary ingredients such as sugar and milk need to be added, and a professional pastry chef needs to give specific steps.

As for the water source, there is a well outside the warehouse, which is connected to the underground river of Jibing City. As a place where it snows all year round, the water source is naturally abundant and there is no shortage of it. The water pipeline was connected here when landing.

Soon, the production line started up, and in just a few minutes, a pile of packaged biscuits appeared at the end.

Leng Xiyao took a bite and found that apart from being tasteless, it was quite crispy in texture. It should be better than what ordinary people make at home, so it should not be a problem for it to enter the market.

Leng Xiyao was very satisfied with the efficiency, but she felt it was a bit of a waste of talent.

Thinking of this, Leng Xiyao asked Lightman, who was looking around the production line, "Brother Lightman, by the way, how far have you progressed in your siege tank research?"

After hearing this, Letterman's eyes suddenly lit up.

It is called research, but in fact it is just reverse engineering of existing tanks by copying the blueprints. It is not difficult, but it is not certain whether the copied tank can run.

"We'll know how far our research has progressed after we build one!"

If he couldn't come up with a working tank blueprint by copying it this way, he might as well go home and farm. Therefore, Letterman confidently selected the siege tank blueprint he had restored on the console.

Leng Xiyao cooperated and invested corresponding mineral resources, so this siege tank was barely enough.

Because only this one unit needed to be produced, all the production capacity of the production line was called upon, and finally a thirty-minute countdown appeared.

One unit is produced every thirty minutes, and the production capacity in 24 hours is forty-eight units, which is very good for such a small production line.

In theory, being able to produce siege tanks is undoubtedly a good thing. This type of armor was born much later than the main battle tanks of the chariot track.

But Leng Xiyao doesn't think so. In fact, siege tanks are no longer considered tanks. Their actual positioning should be self-propelled artillery, and their combat effectiveness is quite poor in close combat.

At the same time, due to its weight and various components, even if it is driven by a nuclear fusion engine, its maximum speed is only about 100 miles per hour, which is about the same as the marching speed of Marines under standard circumstances.

The main battle tank of the tank lane is different. After being enhanced by various black technologies, its armor is not weaker than that of a siege tank, and its close-range combat effectiveness will be stronger. The main battle tank can also fire the same shells as the siege tank under normal conditions.
