Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 92 Three Hundred Iron Golems
"The Iron Golem production line has been completed, with a daily output of up to... two!"

Noah looked at the steel golems that had been carefully prepared by the great goblins and came off the production line, and he really didn't know how to evaluate this production efficiency.

Of course, as far as the Iron Golem itself is concerned, Noah thinks it is still very good.

It was a steel giant that stood five meters tall. All parts of its body were made of dark refined steel. The surface was polished as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a cold light in the sun.

The humanoid body of this golem appears thick and solid, with a simple anthropomorphic head. The facial features are simplified into lines, and two crystals with a sparkling blue luster are inlaid in the eyes. There is a long and thin crack in the center of the forehead, and a ray of heart-pounding red elemental light floats from time to time.

The body, which is originally made of steel, is inlaid with a set of armor engraved with complex runes. The shoulders, joints, hands and other parts of the body have extremely lethal melee designs.

Through the gaps between the armor, one can also see the magical veins engraved on the iron body, which are used to transmit and gather energy, implicitly revealing that the attack method of this golem is not limited to melee combat.

This is a magical construct that has reached perfection in all aspects from design to manufacturing technology. The only one of a higher level than it is the diamond golem that can only be made by legendary wizards.

It basically represents the highest level of golem that a wizard can create below the legendary level. The difficulty of making it, the cost required, and the role it can play are completely incomparable to the rock golem.

The Iron Golem has another major feature that other types of golems cannot match, and that is its strong plasticity. Its shapes can be hundreds or even tens of thousands, and there are no specific requirements for its appearance. This feature is based on the elongation and plasticity of metal.

In other words, the structure and energy conduction system of the iron golem that Noah sees now were all completed by his adoptive mother Selena.

Because of this, Noah can build the corresponding production line according to the design, but even so, the production volume of golems of this level cannot be increased for the time being.

Not to mention the basic need for confidentiality, the material supply for the Iron Golem alone is a big problem. In the territory of the Augustus family, there are only two production sites, Ironforge and Valley of Fire, that can provide a stable supply of steel.

The output of these two steelmaking sites, which are respectively managed by mountain dwarves and gray dwarves, cannot be allocated to the golem production line, not to mention that golems have requirements for the quality of steel. This further limits the production of golems.

"These are minor problems that can be solved. The real question is, the power core of the Iron Golem. If you have enough materials, how many can you make every day?"

After hearing the difficult and doubtful points summarized in Noah's report, Selena just stared at Jin Long with burning eyes.

"The goblins are not yet proficient in making cores. It takes about three days to make a qualified power core. But this is only temporary. Once they become proficient, the output will soon be able to match the production line."

Noah avoided the question, but the Duchess's attention was not lost. She had already discovered Jin Long's talents in all fields, and it seemed that there was nothing he could not learn.

"I'm asking you, not those stupid goblins. How many power cores can you produce in a day without resting?"

Selena gave Noah no room to escape or dodge.

"A qualified power core must be injected with enough and complete elemental essences. It is very difficult to manufacture. Because of the elemental essences, the golem has a constant source of power and can execute various commands.

The core of the rock golem is not too difficult to manufacture, but the iron golem is the most difficult. It needs to drive a nearly solid steel body weighing dozens of tons, and it also needs to support..."

"I'm not interested in hearing you repeat what I said before, little Noah. You've already exposed your flaws. Don't try to slack off anymore."

Serena interrupted Noah's chatter.
“I just want to know how many cores you can produce in a day under your extreme conditions.

Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. Not only you, but also the fairies, you will all get a reward equal to your efforts." "I can make about six steel cores a day!"

Noah was convinced by his adoptive mother's assurance. After all, the Duchess was indeed generous and often unexpected.

"Six? I still underestimated you. In this way, I don't need you to be so busy. It is enough for you to make three every day. After you finish producing 300 steel golems, you can rest."

Selina made clear production requirements, and Noah was stunned.

A steel golem can beat a melee transcendent in the Radiant Gold Realm with basically no pressure. If a team of adventurers without any means of restraint encounters a steel golem in a narrow environment, the wisest choice is to escape.

"Three hundred iron golems? That's too many!"

"A lot? According to your design, the number of golems needed to maintain the operation of the Mage City will only be more, not less, and this does not include the number of guards."

Selina's words immediately left Jin Long speechless. After all, the design he first came up with was aimed at creating a world wonder.

"Are you planning to use rock golems to make up the numbers?"

"The Rock Golem is actually pretty good."

Noah whispered.

"Why didn't you say use a clay golem?"

Serena sneered.

"Aunt, I know you look down on clay golems, but this kind of low-cost golem has a wider range of uses. It can be used in the construction and maintenance of cities, building roads between cities, and can also be sold as a commodity."

Noah knew how arrogant his adoptive mother was. In this regard, her condescending attitude could be compared to that of the dragon clan. But who could blame her for having the talent to look down on everything?

"You're so interested? Then you can build a production line for these low-level golems. If you can make a profit, you don't have to pay any taxes."

"Is this what you said?"

"nature."

Noah immediately became excited. With a group of fairies serving him, he had advantages that other spellcasters did not have.

That is the manpower cost which can be completely ignored. The fairies do not need metal vulgar objects, what they need is a place to stay beside the golden dragon.

The lower the level of the golem, the lower the cost of materials required to manufacture it. The materials for making clay golems can be found everywhere, and the cost is negligible.

The difficulty of making clay models is also the easiest. You only need to give the clay magic power and a power core that can accommodate the elemental essence.
