I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 732 - PinBall

London who had been taking his time, chuckled at the sight of everyone’s expressions.

"I know that everyone is curious about what Pinball is.

But like I said, it’s a game.

That said, some of you had guessed it right.

To put it simply, Pinball is a game on a machine.

This game involves just 1 or 2 tiny balls fighting their way along several paths.

But even though it sounds simple, make no mistake... The action is real!

You hit flippers and navigate bumpers to the clamour of clanging bells and flashing lights.

The game itself is unprogrammed and unpredictable.

So the adventure and thrill are what will lead to the emergence of the slot machine fever.

But to create this masterpiece, several strings of wires will need to be strung along for the electronics.

Just like wiring for cars, landlines and other unprogrammable systems, this machine will also focus on this too.

Again, back to the concept of gameplay... the whole idea of the game is to provide an exciting new adventure through gameplay.

And the themes will be created by us.

Some games might take one through the many adventures of James Bond, while others might take us through the wizardry world of Harry Potter.

Our goal is to create and give gamers the best experience through the use of these Pinball machines.

Now, let’s begin!"

"Yes sir!"

.

Everyone swiftly wrote down the key points during Landon’s 45-minute lecture.

And by the end of it, they more or less got the gist of things.

Unlike Pacman or other programmable video games, these games were fairly simple to build compared to the former.

These workers have been wiring landlines, fridges, cars and creating all sorts of things in Baymard.

So once Landon gave them the instructions, it wasn’t that difficult to follow.

[Place W2-R on Pin 9]

Things like that were instructions that they had to do.

And for the past few years now, they were very familiar with wiring.

Of course, it was inevitable that they would make a ton of mistakes.

Nonetheless, Landon expected these Pinballs to be ready months from now around the time when PacMan would be ready.

Truth be told, with their experience, they should be able to complete them in a month’s time.

But Landon didn’t want to rush them.

Soon, Landon’s 45-minute lecture was up.

The lecture ended at 10 A.M, and their shifts ended at 4 P.M.

So they had the whole day to at least grasp the initial design phase.

Immediately, everyone gathered around the many massive wooden boards in the room.

The thick wooden boards were rightly the size of a chalkboard.

These boards were also painted white, so as to give everyone a clear idea of what they were doing.

Every board had 3 people working on it.

Right now, they had to string several different wires for the electronics.

But before that, they had to use their measuring taps and mark several points on the board.

From there, they placed several massive pins too.

And once that was done, they began wiring.

.

"Ahh!

No!!!

I placed wire 3 on the wrong spin spot, and I’ve intertwined it around several pins already.

So what do I do?" Said one of the workers helplessly.

"Bro?

Didn’t you follow the wiring instruction manual that was printed out?"

"I did, but I accidentally mixed them up."

"Sigh...

Bro, if you had made this error later on, it would’ve been redeemable.

But you had messed up one of the starting wires holding the foundation.

Bro, you have to start from scratch."

"Nooooooo!!!"

"Sister, you’re using the wrong wire.

The instruction says W13-B to Pin 6.

So wire 13 needs to use the blue wires.

We have to use the specific colour coated wires and wind them around the pins, before later attaching them to connectors on the board.

This wooden board is our circuit board, so the wiring colours and formats are important."

"Ahhh!

Thanks, little sister.

If I had messed it up, I might’ve been forced to redo some of it later on.

Luckily, you quickly saw it."

"Brother, I think we messed up one of the pin locations when we began.

Look, on the engineering drawing, it shows that pin 11 is under connector 7.

But we placed it under connector 4 instead."

"F***!

We have to start all over again.

Come on let’s take it down."

"Yes..."

(:TT^TT:)

.

One should know that there were typically over 3 kilometres of wire in one Pinball machine alone.

And each differently coloured wires would be wrapped around several pins many times.

So undoing or taking out everything was such a hassle and very vexing.

Even though they were pros at understanding the basic wiring concept... each product had a different setup.

So mastering it was what killed their time.

Many could wire fridges and other devices without a manual, because they’ve done it a hundred times already for the past few years.

But this product was new, and they had to look at the manual word for word every time they held up a wire.

Of course, mistakes were inevitable.

Everyone was busy working on their boards.

And while they were at it, Landon and the supervisors also formed a team of 3 and worked on it as well.

Of course, Landon allowed the supervisors to do most of the work and learn too.

"Mowi, I think I messed up on wire 8.

You need to pass it here 3 times, before passing it here again 2.

But you did the first pass once."

"Ahhh!

You’re right!

Luckily, it’s not one of the earlier wires, so I can just remove the wire and do it again without taking the rest out."

(^_^)

Everyone was so much in the zone that when Landon reminded them about Lunchtime, they didn’t want to leave.

How can time fly so fast?

Impossible!

They haven’t even done anything yet.

They thought that it was a hoax.

But of course, they knew that lunch was a must, so they grumpily left.

And on the way, they all spoke about their failures.

.

Landon followed the supervisors for Launch.

He had already decided that during these first few days, he would focus only on wiring.

And when everyone has a better handle on things, then he’ll teach them what comes next.

But while Landon was making his one plans, the Alchemy/Chemical industry alongside the Tailoring industry were busy working on their own projects as well.

More specifically, they were focused on a joint project that was given to them by Landon way back.

"Old man!

We have to succeed this time!"

"I’m right behind you sister.

The Aquarium will soon be completed, and we don’t have the diver’s suit ready yet.

Dammit!

These Wetsuits need to pass inspection!

Come!

Let’s do it again!"
