Rapid metal engraver (Quality: Normal)!

This single machine required more than a thousand different parts. The level of precision for each part is next to perfection. Compared to the specified measurements, the difference definitely doesn’t exceed 0.002 millimeters.

Engineers generally like to describe this precision error with either a sliver or a margin of error.

Normally components produced by computer guided systems always had a margin of error that was within the bounds of 0.01 millimeters.

Now with just a swing of the arms by this group of monster, operating the machines just like racecars, the result is five times that of the computer guided systems.

In the industrial sector, precision means quality. The more precise a machine is, then the more stable it is during use, less chances of malfunctions and breakdowns, and the final product it makes will also be that much better.

Two master artisans with two peons were there quickly assembling the parts already made.

A lot of places on the machine required welding, so Ye Qing brought out the M.P.C.V. and used the fully automatic welding arm to complete the step.

The homopolar motor, locating bearings, ball screw, linear guide rails, guide racks, magnetic workbench, were all welded on one by one.

Then the last part, the pre packaged computer control system, was installed on by the master artisan.

Without any warning this normal looking machine which doesn’t seem to be any different from the engravers already on the market, apart from being more precise.

Was suddenly surrounded by a ball of blue light.

Then the Monster Factory app, also came out with a red notification:

Inspecting......

Subtracting the pre built parts, the parts processed by the monsters exceed 60%. Meeting a normal item’s basic requirements.

Inspection successful!

Rapid metal engraver (Quality: Normal. Sellable), uploading control systems.

Properties being created......

Congratulations! Through your diligent efforts, you have created the Monster Factory’s first marketable product.

You have taken the first step towards the top of the manufacturing sector. At the same time, you have completed the first step of leveling the Monster Factory.

With this unrivaled product, you naturally need to enter the ever changing market and continue to expand the ever increasing income of the Monster Factory.

You just need to sell 50 (Quality: Normal. Sellable) Monster Factory unique machines, then you’ll have met all the requirements for leveling up and enter a whole new journey.

Warning: When the Monster Factory reaches level three, the regional ranking chart will be unlocked.

You can continue to expand your factory to surpass other manufacturers and companies on the charts.

When you reach first on the ranking charts, then a special reward awaits you.

At the same time, the level 3 Monster Factory unlocks the prestige system which can be used to purchase disguises uniforms specially designed for monsters. With these disguises, the monsters will automatically blend into society and raise zero questions about their existence.

Apart from you, in everyone else’s eyes they will always be human. Moreover spotless backgrounds and identification will also be provided.

When all these notifications slowly faded away, the originally normal machine in front of Ye Qing, also evolved into one with much of the monster style, some indescribable characters, a beautiful metal engraver.

Rapid metal engraver (Quality: Normal. Sellable)

Properties:

-Carving speed +20%

-Carving precision +5%

The one Ye Qing personally owns is of a rare quality, which is two ranks above this normal one.

Naturally if this kind of equipment is sold, then the resulting carvings will definitely be somewhat worse than the products made from the one Ye Qing owns, the rotating speed of the engraving head will also be much slower.

This is actually an upside. If a super powerful machine is sold right off the bat, then it’d be a wonder if it doesn’t raise any questions.

Having superior normal items entering the market first to slowly expand the reaches of the Monster Heavy Industry.

Then drop the hammer on the market with all brand new and superior quality products. Yet everyone will still believe this to be the norm as it has already been proven that products from Monster Heavy Industry are more superior than anything on the market.

And it’s also now that Ye Qing finally had his doubts erased.

Before from the parts listed on the blueprint, this engraving machine, apart from having a perfect structure and a fast engraving head, didn’t have any black tech in it.

Using the parts listed in the blueprint, bringing them to any large factory and following the blueprint anyone can make it, though of inferior quality.

Now Ye Qing understood, it doesn’t matter if other factories can make it.

As long as no monsters are involved in the construction then it’ll never pass the Monster Factory’s inspection. Then it’ll never have a unique control system or the superior properties and can only be an ordinary item.

Standing in front of the machine, Ye Qing felt his legs become like jello, it would appear that he’s been overcome by a symptom called ‘happiness’.

Finally!

Finally there is way to disguise the monsters. In the end the Monster Factory is still awesome, not only did it provide a disguise uniform for the monsters, but it also solved the hukou problem as well.

Ye Qing’s saw off tusk and black dye plan, in front of this high tech counterpart, is just like the difference between a spear and a continental ballistic missile.

Think about it, with this bunch of monsters wearing the disguise uniform, and following Ye Qing onto the streets.

Under a normal human like appearance, is a monster who can end a polar bear with just one punch, and proficient in shaping, milling, planing, sharpening, drilling and welding. Just thinking about this had Ye Qing’s blood boiling.

What else is there to wait for, quickly push out 50 pieces of normal quality equipment and level up the factory!

........................

Siyun county, Gangan stone processing plant’s owner Xu Shuangjie, for the past few days has been out of it. While overseeing the workers, he’s always been absent minded.

The cause of his absent mindedness is only a couple of pictures.

The curbstone pictures got spread in his friends chat group. Several thousands of them stacked together with their front face having images of beautiful court ladies carved on them.

Even if it’s only several pictures, but Xu Shuangjie’s sensitive occupational senses saw through these beautiful carvings and right into the unfathomable wealth behind them.

Thousands of these carvings stacked together means a factory has grasped the technology required to process these stones quickly. The cheap curbstone price also means that this set of equipment isn’t expensive at all.

The appearance of this set of equipment, is no less than tossing a nuclear missile into the stone processing industry. Not only does this directly affect the industry but it’s shock wave will reach far and wide.

Fortunately Zhongyun’s current city construction management office’s chief is Xu Shuangjie’s friend.

Xu Shuangjie immediately called and requested him to ask if this processing equipment was for sale.

The news quickly got relayed back from Chief Le, that factory agreed, it’ll be a couple of days before they are made. It’s just the price is kind of expensive; 500,000 for a machine.

Chief Le with no knowledge of the stone processing industry, felt that 500,000 for one is actually kind of too much.

Ye Xu Shuangjie doesn’t feel so at all. If they can really carve out similar pictures to the ones on the curbstones, then it’s not expensive at all. 500,000 with interest can easily be earned back in a couple of months.

Because of this Xu Shuangjie’s experienced unimaginable feelings.

When Ye Qing, through Chief Le Zhengdong, contacted Xu Shuangjie, Xu Shuangjie was at home having dinner with his family.

Just as Ye Qing told him that the first machine in his order was completed and can be picked up, Xu Shuangjie immediately threw down his chopsticks, didn’t even explain anything to his wife, ran out and asked for a delivery driver to make a trip with him to Zhongyun city.

Ye Qing didn’t have him make the trip, rather he’ll personally delivered the machine.

Right now the new factory is filled with monsters, and the old factory had no one in it. If he does come, then Ye Qing would need to come up with some excuse to avoid having him enter the workshops. As such, delivering the product personally will definitely shave off tons of unnecessary problems.

Siyun county is one of Zhonyun’s sub counties, and is only 100 kilometers away. Ye Qing called for a truck and spent an hour and a half before arriving at Gangan stone processing plant.

The owner, Xu Shuangjie, was already at the factory gates, anxiously waiting for his new fortune maker.
