Chapter 503 Earl Turtle

 When he was troubled and anxious, Kaka would walk along the ridge next to the wheat field.

Looking at the endless waves of wheat along the way and feeling the golden ocean formed by the intertwining of order and harvest, he will feel a rare peace in his heart.

 Just like when he was relaxing on the beach of Treasure Island in the past.

Goblins are shorter than the Bone Ancestors, and their line of sight is narrower and lower. Whether they are ordinary humans, cows, or horses, goblins will feel tall and oppressive.

　　Sometimes Kaka thinks that the goblins are always anxious, crazy and eager, addicted to making profits quickly and making explosives. Maybe it has something to do with their innate thinness.

The pace of life of the goblin clan is very fast. You can hardly see the goblins lying lazily and resting somewhere. Most of the goblins are either actively making money or inventing and finding ways. The richer and more powerful a goblin is, the more he wants.

 They need an extremely abundant sense of power.

 In their fast-paced life, the pets that goblins like are slow-moving animals such as golden turtles, giant snails and dryland lizards.

Just watching them move slowly gave the goblins a sense of satisfaction and security.

  A slow life may not be destined for the goblins, so at least take a look at these pets and get a moment of peace and relief from them.

On a sunny day, Kaka walked to the outside of Yao Temple to pray and worship.

There are always many people beside the high wall of the outer hall of the temple. Among these people are the Bone Ancestors, ghosts and goblins, as well as dwarves and mystics.

Kaka knelt on the ground, put his hands on the wall, and thought silently like everyone else.

“Great Lord Yao, your devout followers beg for your enlightenment and guidance...”

  Like most people got the result, the gods did not respond.

Just when Kaka lost his mind, a wave of cheers suddenly sounded from behind him.

 He turned his head and looked.

I saw a skeleton cavalry slowly walking from outside the city.

The first one is the coach Harros in a red cape, and behind him is the hero Siddal riding a bone horse-wearing a wide-brimmed leather hat and carrying a crossbow are all Siddal's exclusive symbols.

 “Mediation Army! Mediation Army!”

 “Victory belongs to the kingdom! We have defeated the war!”

 “The war is over! Justice will prevail!”

 “Sidal, Siddhar!”

 “Giants, giants, we have giants too!”

 …

Hearing the excited cheers of the people, Kaka felt particularly bitter.

 Everyone always prefers heroes who can change the situation on their own.

 The same thing, if it is done by one person, it is a great hero. If it is a mechanical device or a cold prop, it is "this little thing is quite useful."

Seeing that many people in the expeditionary force were injured and disabled, and some of them were buried in foreign lands forever, Kaka suddenly thought that this might be the advantage and uniqueness of the Bone Project.

 This is the revelation given by Lord Yao!

 He ran all the way to find Bucky.

“Bucky, we have to keep on working! No matter how powerful the extraordinary beings and giants are, they can’t replace the Bone Works!”

“The Bone Project can create devices made of bones. Even if these devices are destroyed, they can be repaired and remade, which can greatly reduce human sacrifices and losses!”

“Compared with the genetic sequence that requires gene activation, the White Bone Project does not require civilians to take risks. They only need to know how to operate. The White Bone ancestors already understand bones innately. These are all advantages.”

“As long as there are drawings, a structure, and a clear manufacturing process, it can be manufactured continuously!”

 “Supply and demand is the truth! Everyone will definitely need the Bone Project! Because no one wants to face the threat of death!”

Buji also nodded and said: "The repeated experiments I just finished have proven that the steam furnace can be installed in the Bone Project. Relying on the goblin machinery and foundation, it can not only drive the Bone arms to carry heavy objects, but also drive the legs. Even on complex terrain, you can move at will.”

“We no longer have to worry about the wheel being too heavy or too large to carry! The problem of mobility is solved!”

 The two of them further explored the potential of the Bone Project from different angles.

 In the next two years, Kaka and Buji produced the first finished product of the White Bone Project—the White Bone Pallet Truck.

The white-bone pallet truck uses a steam stove as its power core and can be disassembled and assembled at any time. It can be increased or reduced in size according to the environment's weight gain for storage.

This large, square-box-shaped vehicle made its debut and was publicly tested for everyone.

 The craftsmen on the pallet truck dismantled a bone mage tower and moved it intact to the large load-bearing plate of the pallet truck.

Next, the pallet truck carried the Bone Mage Tower to complete the smooth casting while moving, perfectly releasing the killing ray, and drove from Kencheng to the military fortress, where the repair surgery of the three Bone Ancestors was completed on the truck.

 Shachengdi Newspaper also gave corresponding reports.

“The Resurrection Kingdom has completed the transportation and moving of the mage tower”

 Although there is only a short description, it also attracted many people's attention to the Bone Project. The kingdom's military quickly incorporated the Bone Pallet Truck into its official armament sequence, and in conjunction with the Bone Mage Tower, it greatly expanded the kingdom's defense line and coverage.

But at this moment, Kaka and Buji decided to postpone further development of engineering applications and instead devote all their energy to the formulation of basic standards for the Bone Project.

Many years later, in an interview with "Shachengdi Daily", Kaka was also proud of this decision.

“Instead of accelerating like crazy, we chose to hold down the pace, slow down, lay a solid foundation, do a good job in basic classification and standards, and invest a lot of time and energy in basic areas. This proved to be an extremely correct decision!”

 …

 After eleven years of silence and silent research, Kaka and Buji finally completed the formulation of their standards.

 The first edition of the manual, called the "White Bone Engineering Code", totaled 377 pages.

 The manual standardizes the types and labels of white bones, covering the most common 33 orthopedic species including Homo, Ovis, Equine, Bovine, Canine, Avian, and Fish.

 Each orthopedic department is marked with different bone models.

 For example, Homo usually has 206 bones, and Sheep usually has 362 bones.

Each part of the bone has its own unique number.

For example, human bone No. 1 represents the ethmoid bone in the skull; sheep bone No. 2 refers to the parietal bone in the sheep skull.

  The bones left behind by different species of life may not seem to be very different, but their subtle morphological structures are not consistent. This ensures clear standards for the types and provides a clear workflow for the Bone Project.

 After obtaining the bone materials, craftsmen need to classify and number the various bones according to the manual and confirm their models.

 In this way, even inexperienced craftsmen can find and use docking based on categories.

Based on confirming the numbers and models of common bones, the manual also formulated the accuracy and material standards for design drawings.

 Complete bones, damaged bones, and bones with missing pieces belong to three different raw material grades, which are excellent, good, and coarse respectively.

Taking the white-bone pallet truck as an example, its load-bearing frame must all be made of high-quality materials, and only the partially non-functional shell is allowed to use rough materials.

 Otherwise, it is a substandard product and does not meet the standards of the White Bone Project.

In addition, the White Bone Project also proposed for the first time a dedicated workshop-style manufacturing process, so that the workshop is divided into different groups of craftsmen, and different groups specialize in a certain type of bone model, so as to complete the work with a high degree of proficiency. Collaborative work.

 This set of standards caused huge controversy as soon as they were launched.

Many craftsmen believe that the manual specifications are too cumbersome, not conducive to design, manufacturing and operation, and are completely unnecessary. They scoffed at this, saying that they had made bone horses and skeleton dogs in the past without any trouble.

Even the Chancellor of Finance expressed concern: “If such a clear and detailed classification is followed, the restrictions and costs for future use and manufacturing of bones will be very high.”

 But it was not long before the chancellor became a champion and defender of bone engineering and engineering codes.

He clearly expressed his official position in the "Shacheng Di Bao": "The kingdom's road to prosperity will start from the Bone Engineering! This is an unparalleled creation and the crystallization of the wisdom of the two great inventors Kaka and Buji! ( Wagging your finger

 “Standardized bone engineering is the only way for the kingdom! (Open your hands)”

 The reason for the change was that Yao sent an envoy to the Resurrection Kingdom for the first time officially.

 The ambassador is the legendary prophet Black Forge.

Hei Duan directly proposed that the Yao people hope to purchase a batch of [White Bone Plate Carriers] and reach a long-term cooperation and joint research and development with the Resurrection Kingdom on the White Bone Project.

"This is an amazing and major initiative, and we sincerely come to learn from you. If possible, would I like to have a face-to-face chat with the two inventors Kaka and Buji? Of course, this is without affecting their work. .”

Black Forge gave a very high evaluation and showed the sincerity of the Yao people: Yao Kingdom and the Resurrection Kingdom signed an agreement for in-depth cooperation.

The agreement stipulates that Yao Kingdom and the Resurrection Kingdom will jointly establish two colleges of higher learning, and the teachers and students in them will be selected from the outstanding talents of the two countries.

 There is a large comprehensive school in the royal city called [United Friendship University].

 The other one is in Kencheng, called [White Bone Engineering College], which specializes in cultivating related talents with White Bone Engineering as its core.

  In addition to the field of education, the Yao Kingdom also formally established a long-term trade route with the Resurrection Kingdom, using Shacheng as a transit point. From then on, talents from the two countries began to have more exchanges and free exchanges.

 Finally, Yao Kingdom also shared the latest [Ice Steam Stove] and [Element Theory] with the Resurrection Kingdom. These in-depth studies of the nature of the world shocked the scholars of the Kingdom, and they further felt the gap between the two sides in terms of civilization.

The White Bone Project was recognized and learned from the powerful Yao Kingdom, and it also brought real money and silver, so there was no obstacle to its advancement throughout the kingdom.

 …

Three years after the Bone Engineering Manual came out, The Moving Fortress came out.

 This is a movable fortress, and the core main structure adopts high-quality bones. The fortress is composed of four houses, with two bone mage towers on the top, and crab-shaped legs that partially imitate the foot structure of the dragon tribe on the bottom - thanks to the dragon corpse specimens provided by the Yao tribe.

The entire mobile fortress is 18.6 meters high and 14.4 meters wide. It is equipped with 12 standard fire and steam stoves, 4 ice and steam stoves, and stores a number of omnipotent stones. It looks like a **** beetle walking upright.

When this fortress slowly passed by the city, the sense of oppression brought by the heavy giant was unparalleled, making the bones of the ancestors hold their breath and look up from a distance.

In the field experiment, this new monster named [Tiny] defeated the hero Sidhar head-on. The cross-fire from the Bone Mage Tower made the Bone Barn Giant unable to withstand the continuous damage, and finally gave in.

But the significance of the birth of the mobile fortress goes far beyond combat strikes.

 It makes it easier to expand the city outwards. You only need to move the mobile fortress into a certain area, then retract your feet and land safely, and you can build a small defensive town with the fortress as the center.

 At the same time, this is also the most powerful proof of the standardization of Baigu Engineering.

 As long as you operate according to the specifications and standards, you can theoretically create countless [little dots].

 …

 In the wilderness, the mobile fortress [Little One] stepped over the hills and easily wiped out the electric wolves.

The bone mage on the tower stuck out his bare head and asked the people on the lawn below to take credit: "How is it? Is the accuracy pretty good?"

 Bucky gave him a thumbs up: "That's right! The wolf cub was beaten silly."

 “Wow hahaha, this is the charm of the Bone Mage Tower!”

In the corner of the lawn, Kaka looked at the glass box next to him. The little turtle inside was walking slowly. The goblin engineer pressed his pointed nose against the glass surface, staring at the slow creature inside.

Buki also lowered his head and looked at Turtle: "Brother, the name [Count Turtle] doesn't sound very majestic... You really don't think about changing it to another one?"

 “That’s it, it’s good. Sometimes you just have to slow down, like a turtle.”

Kaka said: "What about you, [Count Zero] is not going to change it?"

"Don't change. Although it is difficult to start from scratch, the joy when the hard work is rewarded is unparalleled. Just like this [little one], he is currently traveling around the world to verify whether he can adapt to various environments and long-term marches. This is also a kind of Start from scratch.”

 The two were chatting.

 Suddenly, the expressions of both parties froze, and then they both saw the joy in each other's eyes, and they both emitted a white shimmer.

 The two of them quickly knelt down.

 “Thank God!”

 “Thank you Lord Yao for your gift!”

 Feeling the holy and warm power on his body, Kaka suddenly thought of the Treasure Island.

　　He remembers the moments of excitement when the production was successful in the past, and he has not forgotten the moments when he was humiliated and laughed at.

 But he didn't think about those things now.

 What appeared in front of me was just a very ordinary scene.

 The weather was very good that day, the sun was neither hot nor cold. His mother, who has not yet died of illness, is holding his hand. His father is still young and his steps are still fast and powerful.

As he walked, my father said confidently: "When I make money tomorrow, I will buy you a golden turtle. Make sure you choose the big one and buy the expensive one!"

 Mother just smiled.

 But Kaka, who is still young, is thinking about getting a big turtle tomorrow.

 I really want to come earlier tomorrow.
