Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"The steel golem production line has been set up, with a daily output of up to... two units!"

Noah looked at the steel golem that had been carefully prepared by the big goblins and came off the production line. He really didn't know how to evaluate this kind of production efficiency.

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

It was a steel giant with an upright height of five meters. All parts of the 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 demon appears thick and solid. The head is an anthropomorphic and simple design. The facial features are simplified to lines. The eyes are inlaid with two crystals that sparkle with a faint blue luster. There is a slender crack in the center of the forehead. A ray of heart-stopping red elemental light flutters from time to time.

The body, which is originally made of steel, is also inlaid with a set of armor engraved with complex runes. On the shoulders, joints, hands and other parts, you can see extremely lethal close combat designs.

Through the gaps between the armors, one can also see the magical veins engraved on the steel body used to transmit and gather energy, implicitly revealing that the attack method of this demon is not limited to melee crushing.

This is a magical construct that has reached the ultimate level in all aspects from design to manufacturing process. The only thing higher than it is the diamond golem that can only be made by legendary mages.

It basically represents the highest level of golem that a mage can make under the legend. Its manufacturing difficulty, cost, and function are completely unmatched by the rock golem.

The steel golem also has a major feature that other types of golems cannot match, that is, it is extremely malleable and can have hundreds or even tens of thousands of shapes. There are no specific requirements for the shape of the golem. The characteristics are based on the extension and plasticity of metal.

In other words, the structure and energy transmission system of the steel golem that Noah sees now were all completed by his adoptive mother Serena.

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

Not to mention the basic need for confidentiality, the supply of materials for the Steel Golem alone is a big problem. In the territory of the Augustus family, there are only Ironforge and Valley of Fire, two production areas that can stably supply steel.

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

"These are all small problems that can be solved. The real question is, if the power core of the steel golem is given to you with enough materials, how many can you make every day?"

After hearing the problems and doubts summarized in Noah's report, Serena just stared at the golden dragon with burning eyes.

"The big fairies are not yet skilled at making cores. It takes about three days to have a qualified power core. But this is only temporary. When they become proficient, the output will soon match the production line."

Noah talked about him, but he couldn't escape the Duchess's eyes. She had already discovered Jinlong's talents in all fields, and it seemed that there was nothing he couldn't learn.

"I'm asking you, not those stupid goblins, how many power cores can you create in a day without rest?"

Serena didn't give Noah any room to escape.

"A qualified power core must be infused with enough and complete elemental essences. It is very difficult to manufacture. Because of the elemental essences, the golem has a steady stream of power and can execute various orders.

The core of the rock golem is fairly difficult to manufacture, but the steel golem is the most difficult. It needs to drive a nearly solid steel body weighing dozens of tons, and it also needs support..."

"I'm not interested in hearing you repeat what I once said. Little Noah, you have already exposed your flaws. Stop trying to be lazy."

Serena interrupted Noah's chatter,

"I just want to know how many cores you can make in a day at your limit.

Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, not only you, but also those goblins. You can all get rewards equal to your efforts. "

"I can probably make 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. You can make three every day. After the production of three hundred steel golems is completed, you can rest."

Serena made a clear request for production, while Noah was stunned.

A steel golem beats up a close-combat transcendent in the dazzling golden realm without any pressure. If a group of adventurers without restraint encountered a steel golem in a narrow environment, the wisest choice would be to run away.

"Three hundred steel golems? This is too many!"

"Is it more? According to your design, the number of golems required to maintain the operation of the Mage City will only be more, not less. This does not include the number of guards."

Serena's words immediately left Jin Long speechless. After all, the design he first came up with was for the wonders of the world.

"Are you planning to use the rock golem 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 for city construction and maintenance, building roads and traffic between cities, and can also be sold as a commodity."

Noah knew how arrogant his adoptive mother was. In this regard, her superior attitude could be compared with the dragon clan, but who made her have the talent to look down on everything?

"Are you so interested? Then you can build a production line for this kind of low-level golem. If you can make a profit, you don't have to pay any taxes."

"Is that what you said?"

"Of course."

Noah was immediately excited. With a group of goblins serving him, he had advantages that other spellcasting forces did not have.

That is the completely negligible labor cost. Goblins don't need metal vulgar things. What they need is a position to stay beside the golden dragon.

The lower the level of the golem, the lower the cost of materials required for manufacturing. 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.
