This time, forging the first Flintlock Gun consumed dozens of kilograms of Iron Essence, all thanks to the tireless efforts of dozens of blacksmiths.
Although these blacksmiths are not as skilled as Yuan Blacksmith, they are still among the best in the industry. The Quan Family's weapons and equipment hidden in the basement are all made by this group of people.
This group is the foundation of the Quan Family, and also the clansmen that Quanyi is responsible for.
However, so many excellent blacksmiths working hard for several weeks only managed to produce one Flintlock Gun, which is a serious waste of resources.
According to Yuan Blacksmith's standards, the labor, consumables, and transportation costs are all huge expenses.
The efficiency is too low, and it costs too much.
Seeing this situation, Quanyi became even more determined to implement the assembly line.
Su Ling'er walked through the forging space and towards the depths. At this moment, Quanyi saw a tightly closed door.
Deep inside the forging room, there was actually a solitary, independent space.
Su Ling'er pushed open the door and entered the room.
"Come in and take a look."
Walking into the room, the interior was a relatively spacious rest room for one person, with a bed.
Moreover, the temperature inside the room was unusually high.
The forging room was already extremely hot and stuffy due to the furnace, but the temperature in this space was even higher.
Before long, Quanyi's body began to show fine beads of sweat.
"What is this place?" Quanyi asked.
"You should feel the difference yourself, right?" Su Ling'er asked rhetorically.
"Yes, the feeling here is exactly the same as in the Simulated Environment."
In fact, Quanyi had felt the Soul Power in his body cheering from the moment he entered the Blacksmith Shop.
Unlike the first time when it was empty and deserted, this time Quanyi's feeling was unusually strong, even vaguely surpassing the magma environment in the Academy.
"That's right, this forging room can be considered an alternative Simulated Environment, which can play the role of cultivation in a Simulated Environment.
Moreover, it can simultaneously satisfy the two characteristics of the Blazing Sun Gauntlets, which is simply a combination of a hidden armory and a Flame Vein.
When I was expanding the scale of the underground forging room, I noticed the special nature of this place.
This room is built with special materials, which can achieve soundproofing.
Moreover, ventilation channels are arranged underground and inside the walls of the entire room, and the hot air from the furnace will pass through these pipes.
This will concentrate the heat in this room and maximize the effect of the Simulated Environment."
"Did mother expect me to live here?" Quanyi asked, seeing this carefully prepared room.
"No, I just thought that there should also be a cultivation room outside the Academy, and such a suitable Simulated Cultivation Environment for you is extremely rare, so how could I miss it?" Su Ling'er didn't think too much at the time, it was just a casual act.
However, this just solved Quanyi's cultivation problem outside the Academy.
With this space, Quanyi can perfectly balance Soul Fight, cultivation, and gun research.
With the accommodation and cultivation problems solved, Quanyi was completely free from worries.
In the next two days, Yuan Blacksmith quickly forged high-quality Flintlock Guns with Refined Iron.
Although the quality is far inferior to the first Flintlock Gun, it does not diminish its power in the slightest.
Moreover, in order to reduce the burden, Yuan Blacksmith simplified the structure of the gun, streamlining each part to the extreme, further reducing costs.
Afterwards, Yuan Blacksmith set the specifications for each part based on this Refined Iron Flintlock Gun.
After setting the specifications, Quanyi decisively divided the blacksmiths into several groups, each responsible for one part.
So far, the assembly line has been initially formed, and the specific effect will have to be tested in practice.
In the next two months or so, Quanyi lived a very regular life.
He studied at the Academy from Monday to Friday.
On Saturdays and Sundays, Quanyi would fight in the Soul Arena in the morning, watch other Soul Fights after his battles, and then place bets.
When betting, Quanyi only considered Soul Fights with odds between 2 and 3.
In Quanyi's view, only Soul Fights of this level were most likely to have upsets.
The odds, to some extent, represented the difference in strength between the two sides.
Soul Fights where the strength difference was too great, or where the strength difference was negligible, did not meet Quanyi's requirements for making money.
In the past two months, Quanyi had participated in more than a dozen betting matches, and the Gold Soul Coins he had earned now were basically equal to his principal.
Although, unexpected Soul Fights like the first one were rare.
Fortunately, Quanyi's luck was pretty good, and he was able to pick the winning side every time.
His current success was due not only to luck, but also to Quanyi's broad knowledge and excellent reasoning skills.
After carefully studying and observing more than a dozen Soul Fights, Quanyi had a deeper understanding of Soul Master combat. What he saw and heard was transformed into experience, integrated into his body, and his vision was also trained in the process.
In the afternoon, Quanyi would return to the research institute.
In the past two months, the assembly line he had set up had also made breakthrough progress.
After two months of running-in, the Refined Iron Flintlock Gun assembly line was completely completed.
More than fifty blacksmiths were responsible for manufacturing a part each, and finally, the Yuan Blacksmith and his son assembled them.
Depending on the difficulty of forging, the number of people Quanyi assigned would vary.
For example, the most difficult part, the barrel, required half of the blacksmiths to match the production progress of the other parts.
Two months later, the daily output of this assembly line reached an astonishing fifty guns. And the quality was no less than that of the one personally crafted by Yuan Blacksmith.
Yuan Blacksmith could only make one a day.
When Yuan Blacksmith saw the various parts pouring in to him, he truly realized what Quanyi meant by the assembly line.
This method of production did have all sorts of problems at first, but as the blacksmiths became more skilled, their precision and speed increased.
Moreover, it would continue to accelerate over time.
Two months later, inside the Great Soul Arena.
Generally speaking, the morning was the time with the fewest spectators.
And the Branch Soul Arena had even fewer people.
But at this time, the No. 13 Branch Soul Arena was full of spectators.
And this was in the sparsely populated morning.
At this time, a man in a black tailcoat walked to the center of the Soul Fight Stage and saluted the audience. Then, holding a sound-amplifying Soul Guidance Device, he introduced to the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting. This time, I, Li Yu, will be hosting the first one-on-one Soul Fight at the No. 13 Branch Soul Arena.
Next to appear are two Great Soul Masters. One is Battle Soul Master Wang Qing, who possesses the Beast Martial Soul Ironclad Turtle. Master Wang Qing has accumulated a five-game winning streak, and his strength should not be underestimated.
And the other is Battle Soul Master One-Punch Man, who possesses the Tool Martial Soul Fire Pattern Gauntlets.
Great Soul Master One-Punch Man has emerged like a shooting star. Since registering, he has had no defeats. In just two months, he has accumulated a terrifying fourteen-game winning streak. Moreover, he only needs one more victory to be promoted to Iron Soul.
Without further ado, let's invite the two Great Soul Masters to the stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge roar erupted from the audience.
The entire audience was chanting a single phrase.
"One-Punch, One-Punch, One-Punch..."
At this time, a young man wearing a black and red mask walked onto the Soul Fight Stage, riding the wave of sound.
The young man was only covered by black animal skin shorts, and he wasn't even wearing shoes.
The exposed attire revealed the young man's strong body, the muscle lines on the young man's body were clearly visible, and the tight and powerful muscles exuded a savage aura.
The young man held his head high and chest out, looking straight ahead, his arms swinging naturally, and the young man's gait revealed a noble temperament.
When the young man stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere in the arena became even more frenzied.
