After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1605

Chapter 1605: Improving Toolmakers

Back in the village center, Ansel looked at the side to see his sister with a small button-like thing with patterns. It was much smaller than the terran marble ball though. It was probably smaller than a teenage girl’s pinky nail.

"What is that?"

"Tracker," she said, staring at it. They blinked and looked at her.

Before heading up, Veronica handed it to her and told her what it was. Apparently, Estra ’borrowed’ it from her family’s vault to follow Vaughn. They would borrow it for a while and give some contribution points. If she allowed them to keep it after that, then they could exchange larger points for it.

Anyway, if they figured out how this worked, not just the reconnaissance missions, but also protection missions would enter a different level of efficiency.

Although she was getting ahead of herself (like always), she could already imagine the branches and the products they could possibly develop once they cracked the code for this.

For one, they could create more such tools, which could allow them to monitor the current location of their own people as well as their targets. They could even reverse engineer and make anti-tracking tools.

Another, they could even use it in the construction and cartography industry as an ultra-accurate way to measure distances and directions.

It could even contain arrays that could be useful for certain communication devices.

Anyway, the possibilities were vast, and even if there was a long way to go before they could crack it, she couldn’t help but feel excited anyway.

...

Althea headed straight to the Toolmaking department after the meeting, and she showed the tool to Kalfene and the others.

The output requirement for each tool maker was very fair. They just had to do the amount of what would normally be consumed relative to the Alterran working hours of 10 hours.

At first, they were asked to create a tool with someone observing them, which made it a bit challenging and difficult to focus, but they eventually did get the hang of it.

It felt like a test more than anything, and it made them a bit nervous, with the observers having to continuously remind them not to think too much (which ended up making them think even more).

After the next few days, this was what they did, and eventually they did get used to it.

They also procured the materials for them. The materials for their tools weren’t that rare, but they were uncommon enough that they would be troublesome to get by batch. Somehow, Alterra managed to get a few sets.

When a product was finished, the Alterrans were very impressed, and the toolmakers thought they’d be pushing them to do more after sending a wave of admiration. This was normally the case.

Unexpectedly...

"You’re amazing, but I think you use too much energy..."

"I think it’s beautiful, but I don’t think this intricate shape will do a lot..."

"Is this part really needed? Maybe you can explore..."

And so on...

Basically, when the Alterrans studied their productivity, they were asked to focus on developing their skills rather than producing anything.
