Incredible Insight: Toy Factory Discovers Swarm Drones

All the equipment was placed in designated positions in the workshop according to Li Jiajun’s plan. The empty workshop was now packed full, but these brand-new, high-tech ”iron lumps” stood like a group of strangers who didn’t know each other, each standing alone, completely out of place in this dilapidated factory.

The workers circled these new partners over and over, looking at each other in confusion, but no one dared to step forward.

Finally, the most experienced Master Craftsman, Wang Defa, summoned the courage to walk up to the most expensive Five-axis Machining Center. Looking at the dense control panel that resembled an airplane cockpit, he felt his scalp go numb. Forget operating it—he couldn’t even figure out how to turn it on.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally had to bite the bullet and walk over to Li Jiajun, who was livestreaming. His calloused hands nervously rubbed the hem of his shirt, like a schoolboy who had done something wrong.

”Director...” He scratched his graying hair, his face full of embarrassment. ”Um... this... how do you turn this thing on?”

He pointed to the five-axis machine tool nearby: ”It’s all in foreign languages, and there are more buttons than stars in the sky. The manual... that manual is thicker than a dictionary, and we can’t understand it either.”

With Wang Defa leading the way, the other Master Craftsmen also gathered around, voicing their grievances all at once.

”Yeah, Director, for that 3D printer, we couldn’t even find the slot to put the materials in.”

”And that SMT Machine, the computer screen is on, but nothing happens no matter where we click.”

”Director, these machines are too precious. We don’t dare touch them randomly. If we break something, we couldn’t pay it back even if we sold ourselves!”

Looking at the excited yet helpless faces before him, Li Jiajun didn’t worry; instead, he was amused.

He patted Master Craftsman Wang Defa on the shoulder and comforted him: ”Uncle Wang, don’t worry, everyone, don’t worry. It’s new stuff; there’s bound to be an adjustment period.”

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the advanced machines and the bewildered workers, then glanced at the livestream screen. That familiar, unconscious ”narrator” mode activated once again.

Resting his chin on his hand, he looked at everything before him and muttered to himself: ”Look, the chasm of knowledge is simply that difficult to cross. These hardworking old craftsmen—their skills are stuck in a previous era. And now, in this new workshop armed with top-tier technology, the only one who seems capable of taming these steel behemoths is me, the sole educated person here.”

He paused, glanced at the scrolling bullet chat on the livestream screen again, and continued muttering: ”Oh, and of course, I can’t count on the friends in front of the screen either. After all, besides typing ’666’ and ’Main Streamer is awesome,’ their understanding of real industrial technology is approximately zero. Sigh, it’s lonely at the top.”

His self-talk, as if no one else were there, was naturally heard by all the viewers in the livestream room.

The Netizens who were heatedly discussing the new equipment were instantly silenced by this sudden ”official roast.”

The bullet chat paused for two seconds, then completely exploded.

”Here it comes! Here it comes! The Streamer’s damn charming, narrator-style sharp tongue is late but never absent!”

”Holy crap! Apologize to our Old Workers! And apologize to me too! I feel like I’ve suffered a double critical hit!”

”What do you mean ’understanding is approximately zero’? I can also type ’The Streamer is a huge idiot’!”

”Hahaha, I love watching this! Main Streamer, don’t stop, keep talking! I just want to see how useless we are in your eyes!”

”That’s cold-blooded! He didn’t even bother talking to us; he just used a narrator AOE on all of us!”

Facing the wave of ”denunciations” in the livestream room, Li Jiajun pretended not to see.

He knew in his heart that just buying a bunch of advanced machines was useless. It was like having a bunch of top-tier CPUs, graphics cards, and RAM sticks, but without a motherboard to perfectly integrate them, they were still just a pile of scrap metal.

The problem now facing him was how to design a ”super motherboard” that could perfectly connect all the top-tier hardware—a brand-new, automated production line capable of producing the toy drones from his blueprints.

This was the real challenge.
