Battle of the Two Cities: From Zaun to the Void

Chapter 113 Making Dolls
Du Wenkai could see it.

The reason why Colin was lying in front of the store basking in the sun was because there were no orders to produce.

at this time.

He felt like he was in a wolf's den.

It's a pity that people have been pulled into the third room by the enthusiastic Orianna.

This is sort of a living room.

The Hex air purification device is installed in the house, so breathing is relatively smooth.

It’s just that I didn’t bother to turn on the light, so I couldn’t see clearly what was going on around me.

"Come on, come on, sit down!" Orianna was afraid that Du Wenkai would run away, so she pressed him tightly against the stool and pasted him.

"The air outside is too bad, sit here and take a few breaths of fresh air."

Du Wenkai took a sharp breath.

"Well, Ru this kidney is good!"

He looked around.

At the end of the room there is a black iron staircase leading to the second floor.

It is estimated that the upstairs is the living room of Orianna and her daughter.

"My name is Orianna, and I am the future owner of the workshop."

"My name is Du Wenkai."

"You just said that you are here to apply for an apprenticeship. Is this true?"

"Really." Du Wenkai nodded.

If you are not hired as an apprentice, how can you stay with Orianna? If you don’t stay with Orianna, how can you hide your identity?

"That's great!" Orianna cheered.

At this moment, Colin walked in unhurriedly.

"Wait!"

"Boy, why did you come to apply for an apprenticeship? If you can't explain why, be careful that I will break your leg!"

Du Wenkai mentioned what he had said countless times along the way: "I want to find a serious job."

Colin snorted coldly, "I am the current owner of the workshop. Only by passing my test can you stay!"

"Father!" Orianna was dissatisfied, "You said that I will take care of the workshop in the future."

"The future is the future, and the present is now." Colin said with a straight face, "Here, I have the final say!"

"What test?" Du Wenkai was noncommittal. He only knew the basics of Hex technology, and only the technique of making wooden dolls.

Colin raised his head proudly and pointed to the pile of puppets in the corner, "Make one exactly the same for me!"

"dad!"

"How can an apprentice make a mechanical doll?"

"Aren't you deliberately embarrassing others!"

Orianna was upset and dissatisfied with Colin's arrangement.

But Colin ignored him and stared straight at Du Wenkai.

"Can't do it?"

"If you don't know how to do it, leave immediately!"

Du Wenkai looked strange.

He didn't know whether to call himself lucky or Colin's bad luck.

Dolls are the only thing he can make!

"Are you sure that as long as you make this ordinary mechanical doll, you can stay?"

"Do you think the difficulty of ordinary dolls is too low? Then make me a Type I doll!" Colin's tone became colder and colder, and Du Wenkai felt that something was wrong no matter how he looked at it.

"Okay, Type I dolls will be Type I dolls!"

Du Wenkai cracked his lips and agreed cheerfully.

Type I doll is a common Hex technology doll, which is much more advanced than ordinary dolls.

This kind of doll is about 1.4 meters and a half tall. It looks like a human skeleton made of metal.

Can follow instructions and engage in simple labor work.

It is the main product of each large Hex workshop.

However, because the Hex machine does not have unified drawings and standardized parts and processing equipment.

Therefore, the dolls in each workshop are made part by part, purely handmade.

This has led to a very low yield rate of Hex equipment, even if it is the same machine produced by the same workshop, there are not small differences.

When Du Wenkai was fighting with law enforcement officials in the square before, he could find out the blueprint of Type I puppet from the law enforcement officers, and he has never used it until now.

With ready-made technology, Colin's questions are not difficult for Du Wenkai.

"Why are you laughing? I only give you half a day."

"If you can't make a Type I doll within half a day, get out of here!"

Colin felt that his authority had been challenged, and like a lion guarding its cubs, he pulled Orianna behind him.

"dad!"

"Aren't you embarrassing others~"

Orianna was furious.

Even the most skilled craftsmen, few people can create a completed Type I doll in one day.

Unless it's a puppet skeleton, it's almost the same.

It is simply deliberately making things difficult for an apprentice who knows nothing to build a Type I doll in half a day.

However, Orianna, who didn't understand her old father's good intentions, not only failed to resist, but was scolded instead.

Du Wenkai was not surprised, walked back to the workshop, and started working without saying a word.

He first opened the lathe and laid out all the tools he needed.

Orianna, as a qualified licking dog, naturally ran over to help immediately.

"The design of the Type I mechanical doll is very complicated. You can draw a rough figure first, and then I will teach you how to do it."

I once thought that Du Wenkai didn't appreciate it at all, so he picked up the finished doll in the corner and looked at it twice.

"No need, I've already finished the idea."

"Finishing the idea?" Orianna looked like she had seen a ghost.

"The production of mechanical dolls is very complicated, why don't you think about it again?"

"Hmph, you're overthinking yourself, I think you're just trying to amuse me!" Colin mocked, his words full of disdain.

As a well-known Hex craftsman, he dare not say that he can easily make a Type I mechanical doll.

Du Wenkai could come up with a complete idea just by looking at it twice?
Colin didn't believe it.

"You are so young and frivolous, you don't know how much you weigh!"

however.

Du Wenkai didn't explain at all.

As if he was familiar with it, he picked up the production materials and started knocking.

The hard wood is processed into the shape Du Wenkai wants, and then painted and spliced.

He uses the pine wood that is common in the Zaan market. After degreasing and drying, it is extremely hard, and it is the first choice for making solid wood instruments.

It is also faster to make than steel.

However, this scene changed in the eyes of Colin and Orianna.

Well known.

Hex energy can only be conducted through hex alloy, wood cannot conduct energy.

Making puppets out of wood is enough to show that Du Wenkai has ulterior motives.

Colin's expression changed, suspecting that Du Wenkai was here to disrupt the situation.

But Orianna's eyes flashed with caution, "I didn't expect that a knowledgeable person can even be so capable!"

As each part is quickly produced.

Colin's heart was already in his throat.

"No way? You can use wood to make mechanical dolls. Where does this person come from?"

Colin looked at Du Wenkai again, feeling very strange.

He said to Orianna: "Do you know this kid? Where did he come from?"
