Chapter 44
Qin Xiaotian's tone paused. Long Xiaoyao is even more confused!
"Junior still doesn't know. Senior, please solve my confusion?"
"The so-called assembly line manufacturing is to divide the production process of an item into several steps, and then someone is responsible for one step, mass/batch production- which is probably what it means! Although their refining skills are not high, the steps of pill refining can be done separated! For example, some people are responsible for organizing medicinal materials and matching the ingredients of medicinal materials, some are responsible for extracting essences, and some are responsible for condensing pills! After these steps are subdivided, assembly line production can be carried out! Whether it is in cost or time, it can be greatly saved! Although these medicinal pills have no effect on me, they are of great significance to countless low-level cultivators on Nine States Continent, and the profit brought by them is more than you can imagine!"
Long Xiaoyao was stunned. He has never heard that pill refining steps can be wholly separated and produced on an assembly line! If the alchemist only specializes in one aspect, then his expertise in the specialization can be quickly improved. The final fusion pill is not only guaranteed in quality, but the time and cost of medicinal materials are also unimaginable!
Long Xiaoyao's heart trembled! The main reason why alchemy is difficult to learn is that the aspects involved are too complicated. If you simplify the distinction, almost everyone can do it!
Perhaps high-level alchemists will dismiss it. But for low-level alchemists, even alchemy apprentices who don't even have a rank, they can play a huge role! Although in the past, high-level alchemists would accept a few apprentices and then let the apprentices handle some unimportant alchemy steps. But I have never thought about this kind of assembly line production.
The root cause is mainly selfishness! The pill that every alchemist masters are top secret and will never be shared with others. Even if it is only a low-level pill, it will only be taught to their disciples. Although each person is responsible for different assembly line production steps, as long as you observe, the pill recipes will inevitably be exposed.
For alchemists, this is unacceptable to them! The main reason why the pill is precious is that there are too few alchemists who can make the same thing. Their refined pills are not enough to supply market demand.
Suppose you follow Qin Xiaotian's idea to do it; it is conceivable that more and more cultivators will emerge from the entire continent in the near future! Although it is impossible to reach the point of national cultivation, the low-level cultivators will at least be several times higher than now! This move affects the entire continent!
