Douluo Jueshi: Who let him enter Shrek!

Chapter 49: Patient with Fear of Insufficient Firepower

To be honest, Fan Yu was very shocked by the idea proposed by Jiang Ming.

In the inherent thinking of soul masters, soul guides must be made by soul masters through carving magic arrays.

It is not only because the production of soul guides requires the support of soul power, but also because even for a first-level soul guide, the depiction of its magic array cannot be done casually.

Almost no soul engineer has ever thought of using a soul guide to make a soul guide. Because after every soul engineer has truly completed a soul guide, he will know the difficulty of making a soul guide!

It is already quite difficult to carve soul guide arrays manually, let alone use soul guides to make soul guides. This is almost impossible in the eyes of ordinary soul guides!

"To be honest, I don't quite agree with your idea."

Fan Yu shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"Using soul guides to make soul guides is feasible in theory...but do you know the technical difficulties involved?"

As a high-level soul engineer, Fan Yu could imagine how difficult it was, even without even trying it yet.

How to solve the problem of soul power output?

How to solve the problem of magic circle carving?

Even the materials become a problem. Soul engineers can modify the magic array according to the shape and special properties of the materials, but soul guides cannot.

To put it bluntly, soul guides are dead objects, but humans are alive!

Many problems are not problems in the hands of humans, but in the hands of machines, a lot of problems will arise!

"know."

Jiang Ming nodded and said seriously.

He has not tried the difficulty of the soul guide production line yet, so he doesn't know much about it, but the concept of production line in the previous life appeared along with the Industrial Revolution!

Jiang Ming knew the epoch-making nature of the Industrial Revolution. In comparison, the difficulty of the soul guide production line was obvious.

But even so, Jiang Ming still wanted to make this production line.

It’s simple, it’s too inefficient for soul masters to manually make soul guides!

If it is for your own use, or limited to a small group of people, it is completely sufficient.

But if used in war, this efficiency is totally insufficient!

Especially when the number and quality of soul mentors in the Sun-Moon Empire obviously far exceeds that of other countries, this efficiency will form a huge suppression!

"Knowing that you still want to do this? Not to mention that you are still a level 4 soul engineer, even if you are a level 6, 7, or even 8 soul engineer, the success rate of making this thing will not exceed 1%!"

Fan Yu didn't understand. Jiang Ming was undoubtedly a genius in soul guides. Sometimes his innovative ideas could inspire him. He was very spiritual, so he supported most of Jiang Ming's ideas.

But Fan Yu really doesn't like this idea!

The probability of this idea being realized is too low! Moreover, he can see the series of troubles that will follow without even starting to act. It will be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, and the probability of failure is high. What's the point?!

"Teacher Fanyu, I still want to give it a try."

Jiang Ming still did not waver.

"Why? I need a reason."

Fan Yu frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Because...war!"

Jiang Ming said slowly, his eyes firm and determined.

"war?"

Hearing this word, Fan Yu's expression became a little strange.

A twelve-year-old student proposed to build a soul guide production line because of the war!

The feeling of incongruity was so strong that Fan Yu didn't know how to complain for a moment.

"Teacher Fanyu, you should be very clear about the level of the Sun Moon Empire's soul guides, right?"

Suddenly, Jiang Ming changed the subject, leaving Fan Yu a little overwhelmed.

He nodded subconsciously. In terms of the development of soul guides, the level of the Sun-Moon Empire was far higher than that of the other three empires on the continent. This was common knowledge recognized by the soul guide community.

Jiang Ming continued:

"The Sun-Moon Empire has a very strong foundation in soul guides. Teacher Fan Yu, you also know that I am from Qingshui City in the Sky Soul Empire.

Qingshui City is a city bordering the Sun and Moon Empire in the north of the Tianhun Empire.

In the past few decades, there have been many conflicts between Qingshui City and Ice and Snow City on the border of the Sun and Moon Empire."

A hint of reminiscence emerged in Jiang Ming's eyes.

"In these years, Ice and Snow City has been using soul guide rays and soul guide shells to suppress Qingshui City. Even in recent years, the Sky Soul Empire has also provided Qingshui City with soul guides such as soul guide shells and soul guide rays.

But the gap is too big!

The ratio between our soul guide rays and the Ice and Snow City is twenty to one! The ratio of soul guide shells is even greater!"

Having said that, Jiang Ming took a deep breath, looked at Fan Yu, and said in a deep voice:

"Teacher Fanyu, every soldier in Qingshui City has a disease called firepower shortage phobia!

If it comes to a competition of soul master strength, Qingshui City is not weaker than Bingxue City, and can even suppress it firmly!

But the firepower of the soul guide is too strong! When the soul guide rays and soul guide shells are flying towards you, when your body is surrounded by flames, and the painful wails and screams are ringing in your ears, that kind of fear, that kind of despair, can you understand it, Mr. Fanyu?"

As Jiang Ming spoke, he became involuntarily excited.

This is the pain of every soldier in Qingshui City!

Jiang Ming, who has lived two lives, knows this kind of pain very well. The history of the two worlds is almost the same to some extent.

Fan Yu was silent.

He looked at Jiang Ming and seemed to understand why this twelve-year-old boy had such a strong obsession with soul guide shells and high-powered soul guide devices.

"I don't want Qingshui City to be suppressed by Bingxue City's soul guide shells and soul guide rays again!

I want the soldiers in Qingshui City to be able to use those soul guide rays and have enough soul guide shells!

I want to...surpass Ice and Snow City. I want to suppress them with soul-guided shells and soul-guided rays! Let them also experience this kind of fear!"

A rare look of ferocity appeared in Jiang Ming's eyes.

People who have not experienced that kind of war cannot imagine the fear and despair, the feeling of powerlessness, and the pain! It's really painful!

After a few seconds, Jiang Ming's mood calmed down a little.

"Before coming to Shrek, I had been researching soul-guided cannonballs and failed many times. It wasn't until I met you that I succeeded. Then I exchanged all my money for metal materials and spent three full months to make less than a hundred soul-guided cannonballs!"

"Too slow! This efficiency is too slow! There are too few soul masters in Qingshui City, and there are too few soul masters in the entire Tianhun Empire. At this efficiency, we will always be suppressed by the other side!"

"The only way is to change the method and use a production line to split each link of the soul guide shell production, and use large soul guides to produce on a large scale! Only in this way can we achieve a curve overtaking when the number of soul guides is far less than that of the opponent!" 39288554.

Chapter 50: Big Project

Jiang Ming seemed to be venting something, speaking one sentence after another, and Fan Yu couldn't get a word in.

A few minutes later, Jiang Ming expressed all his thoughts.

These were the words he had been holding in his heart for a while. After he said them all out, he felt relieved.

Fan Yu looked at Jiang Ming with complicated eyes. After a long while, he slowly said:

"I'm willing to help you."

Jiang Ming was overjoyed. If he was the only one to set up this production line, it would be almost impossible for him to succeed with his ability as a fourth-level soul engineer!

But with Fanyu, although there are still many difficulties, at least it is a good start.

"Don't be happy too early. I want to remind you that there are several problems that you must take into consideration when manufacturing a soul-guiding device production line, especially a soul-guiding artillery shell production line."

Seeing Jiang Ming's excitement, Fan Yu poured cold water on him.

"First of all, researching this thing requires money, lots and lots of money! What are you going to do with it?"

Jiang Ming thought about it and asked tentatively:

"I can provide 110,000 gold soul coins in the early stage. Is that enough?"

Fan Yu's mouth twitched and he uttered two words.

"hehe."

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say that."

Fan Yu turned around and wanted to leave.

This is not a joke!

One hundred and ten thousand gold soul coins?

To research a soul-guided artillery shell production line, 110,000 gold soul coins is not just a question of whether it is enough; it is a question of whether it is not even a fraction of the total!

Jiang Ming quickly reached out and grabbed Fan Yu, smiling and said:

"Teacher Fanyu, don't be angry. I was just joking."

Fan Yu glanced at Jiang Ming and said helplessly:

"Jiang Ming, it's not that I won't help you, but with 110,000 gold soul coins, you can't even buy a worse level 7 soul guide, let alone a production line!"

As a twelve-year-old student, it was amazing that Jiang Ming could come up with 110,000 gold soul coins.

But compared to the production line that Jiang Ming wanted to build, this is not even a fraction!

"Jiang Ming, I can give you a rough estimate. The fixed-type soul guide shells that our soul guide department can produce now are at most level five! Other soul guide shells can reach level six or seven, but they are not fixed-type soul guide shells.

And to manufacture a production line of fixed-load soul guide shells according to your requirements, even if we bring in all the senior soul guides in the entire soul guide department, we can only reach the third level at most. Any higher is completely impossible with our technology!"

"Even the production line of the third-level fixed-installation soul-guided artillery shells requires a huge amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources! There are too many things involved.

If this is all you have, even if I am willing to help you, it will be impossible to get this thing out!"

After listening to Fan Yu's words, Jiang Ming nodded.

After coming up with this idea, Jiang Ming also made a rough estimate himself and realized that it was impossible for one person to make this thing.

so...

"Teacher Fanyu, I alone am not enough, and neither are the two of us. But what if we bring the entire Soul Guidance Department along? With the support of the academy, that should be enough!"

Jiang Ming said in a deep voice.

He had never planned to build this production line himself from the beginning. It was impossible! Impossible in every way!

He can't possibly put all his energy into this!

But if the entire soul guidance department is brought in, with Shrek Academy as the backing, then the possibility will be maximized!

"You mean, submit this idea and develop it as a project for the entire Soul Guidance Department?"

Fan Yu frowned, thinking about the possibility of this matter.

The idea of a soul guide production line is undoubtedly a shock to soul guides, and it requires too many resources. But if it can really be realized, the benefits will be too great!

"Yes, Mr. Fanyu, I think this is definitely worth researching and developing! It will definitely be the development trend of the soul guide industry in the future!"

Jiang Ming said confidently.

When Jiang Ming was researching soul guides these years, he thought that soul guides would become the main theme of the future Douluo Continent. Just like those electronic products in the previous life, this is the general trend!

After soul guides became the mainstream, their large-scale production became indispensable!

But there are only so many soul guides, and the productivity is limited, which is definitely not enough to support the entire continent.

By then, there will definitely be an industrial revolution-like action in the soul guide world.

This is inevitable!

If we want to resolve the contradiction between the people’s growing material needs and backward productivity, what we should do is not to reduce demand, but to increase productivity!
