Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 43 Mass Production of Alchemy Beasts

"What's wrong with these alchemy beasts?" Harvey looked at the wolf spider alchemy beasts in front of him with missing limbs and scars on their shells, and he felt the urge to turn around and run away.

"Sir, apart from the dozen or so wolf spiders that patrol daily, the rest of the wolf spiders and camels have been assigned to the construction site to carry and lift heavy stones, which are bound to be damaged." Reiner was also distressed. These alchemical creatures, like him, were transferred through souls. Although they were all animals with low intelligence, they were usually very docile and honest, and obeyed orders.

"The alchemy beasts are relatively insignificant, but the zombies have a much higher scrap rate. The thirty or so evil beastmen zombies we previously stockpiled are crushed by rocks or accidentally fall from the pit every day..."

Reiner is really too busy. In addition to controlling the alchemy beast on a daily basis, he also has to give work instructions to the zombies at any time. If he is not careful, those zombies will tear him apart.

Harvey covered his face speechlessly, not wanting to listen anymore.

"We need to increase the number of working Alchemymon! We can't let combat Alchemymon like Wolf Spider participate in construction work anymore."

The wolf spider's metal limbs are slender and fragile, allowing it to sneak and climb quickly and agilely in combat, and can be used as weapons to directly penetrate the enemy's body when necessary.

But when used in construction work, it is a definite flaw.

Asdalen spends every day trying to repair broken wolf spiders, most of which are caused by broken legs.

Harvey suddenly remembered the group of unknown primates he saw wandering around and roaring wildly in the mountain jungle when he and Pierce went out to survey the terrain a few days ago.

"Monkey! Yes! Use monkeys to transform alchemical beasts!" He slapped his head and stood up.

He had previously discovered that alchemical beings transformed from human souls, like Reiner, had outstanding talents in memory and learning ability.

The wolf spider beasts transformed from gray wolves still retain the innate abilities of canine creatures such as tracking and stealth, and they are subconsciously good at group cooperative combat.

The reason why camels can carry heavy loads and achieve stable long-distance transportation is undoubtedly because reindeer are animals that are naturally able to carry heavy loads and are adapted to long-distance migration.

This clearly shows that the soul transformation of creatures of different races will show different racial talents!
Apart from humans, the alchemical life forms that are good at working are undoubtedly primates that have learned to use simple tools.

"Reiner, have Pierce capture a few monkeys or gorillas immediately. Don't delay. I'm going to conduct the transformation experiment tonight!"

Reiner nodded and prepared to leave with the blueprint.

"Wait! Have Pierce take two experienced hunters with him, let's let those two...what's their name, orcs!"

……

This was the first time that Vaughn and Duff had come to the lord's underground laboratory since the underground building of the territory's main castle was topped off.

On weekdays, during working hours, they always see iron monsters of various shapes and with a metallic luster coming in and out of the underground.

But everyone was used to it. These iron monsters were agile and strong, and they saved them a lot of effort in building the main castle. The people in the territory all liked to work with these guys.

But those evil beastmen zombies, which were wrapped in linen but still had a faint stench of decay, were not very popular.

Especially when Vaughn went out to the toilet at night, he saw them quietly lined up in a row under the moonlight, slowly walking out from the basement of the main castle and into the gloomy and dark woods.

Today, they were suddenly called by Mr. Pierce to go to the mountain valley half a day's journey away from the main castle to complete the lord's task and catch some monkeys.

"Vaughn, what do you think the lord needs live monkeys for? These skinny, fat-free creatures won't taste good no matter how you cook them, right?" Dave and Vaughn stood side by side in the corner of the underground laboratory, talking in low voices.

Vaughn was also confused. He and Duff did have a hunting skill of ziplining and throwing stones. Perhaps that was why they were chosen by Mr. Pierce. The flying stones could accurately stun the monkeys wandering among the treetops, but would not kill them directly.

As the two men huddled in a corner, whispering, Harvey and Reiner, already prepared for the experiment, stood before the lab table and beckoned them to bring the monkeys, strung together with ropes. Vaughn, seeing this was his first close encounter with the Lord, approached with a slightly lowered head, a touch of fear, his gaze fixed on the floor.

He clearly remembered that Lord Reiner had said that the lord was a powerful spellcaster.

"What's your name?" Gentle words came to my ears from above my head.

Vaughn shuddered and stammered, "My Lord, my name is Vaughn, and his name is Duff."

Harvey nodded, very satisfied with the hunting methods of the two orcs. Almost every monkey they caught alive had a big bruise on its head due to being hit by a stone, but none of them died.

"They're very accurate with their throwing and have good control of their strength." Harvey felt that having them work as construction workers was a bit of a waste of their talents. He glanced at Pierce and said, "Let them work with you from now on, patrolling the territory."

Pierce nodded, bowed, and then pulled the dazed orcs, leading them back to stand by the wall.

"Reiner, let's start the transformation experiment right away. We haven't captured many samples yet, so keep an eye on the success rate."

Reiner deftly stuffed the squeaking monkeys' mouths with cloth strips, tied them up on the experimental table, and put hoods on them.

……

"How is it? Can you establish a connection with them and issue commands?"

Harvey asked with concern as he looked at Reiner who was connected to the energy line.

Reiner nodded, and the inscription on the head of the alchemical prosthesis continued to light up, as if maintaining a connection.

"Yes, my lord, although I sense that their souls are rather restless and chaotic, filled with confusion and fear."

The transformation vehicle this time was modified by Harvey and Asdalen. It is a humanoid alchemical beast that looks like a dwarf but has a long armspan.

Reiner manipulated a transformed alchemy beast, letting it raise its knee-length metal arms and pick up a screwdriver on the laboratory table.

Then he staggered to another alchemy beast, holding a screwdriver and nimbly removed its arm.

He controlled three alchemical beasts, gathered them around the experimental table, and worked together to complete the task of assembling prosthetic parts.

"The intelligence of primates is much higher than that of ordinary beasts, which will also increase the difficulty of your control."

Asdalen also came over to observe, "Well, I can also try to control them. It might be difficult for Reiner to take care of these dozen alchemy beasts alone."

Harvey patted Reiner on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Practice more, and it won't be long before these alchemy beasts can be put to work."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Pierce, who was standing by the wall at the door of the laboratory, responsible for guarding and preventing any accidents during the experiment.

"Pierce, from now on, you and uh... Vaughn and the others, take some time out every day to hunt monkeys. I need to transform a large number of these working alchemy beasts."

Harvey looked at the dozen or so dwarf alchemy beasts that were successfully transformed with satisfaction.

I believe that it won’t be long before I will own a large number of high-quality assembly line aces!

"Let's name these alchemy beasts the 007 working type..."
