Zhou Qingfeng doesn't know forging, and he doesn't understand machinery. But he finally knew that the development of relying on manpower was too slow, and he had to improve labor efficiency. If you want to do something unusual, you have to make a fuss about the power - that's how the Industrial Revolution came about.

There are no big rivers in the Black Forest, but the wind is almost infinite.

When Zhou Qingfeng first arrived in Tielu Village, he was very impressed by the huge windmill in the village. After the construction of Harmony Village, he immediately spent a high price to poach people, and got a lot of skilled workers from Tielu Village to build windmills. For this reason, Fei Zhe, the leader of Iron Furnace Village, hated him to death.

It's just that windmills are not easy to build, and forging machines are even more difficult to build. Among them, power transmission and bearing mechanism are the most difficult. Zhou Qingfeng returned to the real world twice, but he looked up some information on the Internet. However, ......, the time is too short, and I won't be able to understand it at all for a while.

Ten o'clock IQ is a flaw!

Zhou Qingfeng could only give a general idea, and handed over the problem to the blacksmith and carpenter he had collected.

Fortunately, there is a big windmill in Iron Furnace Village as a physical example, and the human craftsmen who dug it up at a high price maintain it all year round, and the later dwarven craftsmen can not only strike iron. After more than a month of tossing, I finally came up with a prototype of wind power.

But it was a disaster as soon as it was installed, either the beam frame broke during the forging strike, or the anvil was skewed in the impact. Either the bearings of the windmill are not lubricated enough, the friction heats up and then jams, or the forging machine finds that the ground sinks after working for several hours.

The forging hammer used by ordinary blacksmiths is only two or three kilograms, and a forging hammer of more than ten kilograms is not something that ordinary people can move, let alone a few strokes. But wind forging machines are different.

Dozens of kilograms of forging hammers were smashed down from a height of one meter, and the potential energy was too great, and it continued continuously. All sorts of unexpected situations are constantly emerging, and even with great dangers. Completely inexperienced craftsmen have big heads and are tired of dealing with all kinds of unexpected events.

But everyone in the forge was enthusiastic about the capabilities of the wind forging machine. Because even if it is extremely impossible, as long as it works for one hour, the finished semi-finished product is enough to compete with the best forging master in the world, and the output is even more complete.

Who doesn't love something so good?

Robin, who came from outside, immediately forgot about his original purpose and was determined to study the magical machine in front of him.

In fact, the machine architecture is very simple, it is a simple gantry, and the wind-driven forging hammer moves up and down in the gantry, hitting the forgings placed on the anvil - too complex to build, right? Everyone is a newbie and has zero experience.

The dwarf who maintained the forging machine was also distressed, "This thing looks simple, but there are always problems with it. Now the trouble is the one-meter-long chute of the gantry.

It's handmade, made up of several pieces. After a while, this thing will deform. As soon as it is deformed, the entire forging machine will be damaged. Therefore, we must always keep an eye on it, and if we find a deformation, we must immediately stop the machine for repair. ”

Robin stands under the three-meter-tall forging machine and feels the force of the hammer as it falls. With each forging blow, the red-hot iron on the anvil bursts with a large number of sparks. In this process, the impurities and pores in the iron material are greatly reduced, and they become fine and compact.

After looking at it for an hour, the gantry chute was really deformed. The forging machine immediately stopped, and several craftsmen hurriedly dismantled it and hammered it back to its original state. If you can't restore it, you have to replace it with a new one.

Robin had a lot of strength and took the initiative to ask Ying to repair the chute. The other craftsmen didn't bother to exert their strength, so they stood aside and told him where to knock and stop when he hit it. He was happy in his heart, willing to work hard, and after knocking for a while, he was praised by the dwarf man.

After knocking, Robin also rushed to learn how to assemble it. But in the process of assembly, he suddenly found that the companion who cooperated with him was very familiar. One person on the other side was also staring at him, and both sides were taken aback.

After tossing for more than an hour, the forging machine returned to work again.

Robin and the acquaintances stared wide-eyed, and they avoided everyone and walked to a secluded place to meet. Robin saw that no one was staring around, and let out a low shout: "Martin, why are you, the chief forger of the 'King of Blacksmiths', here?" ”

The 'King of Blacksmiths' is the honorific title of Gunde, the god of craft and forging, and the chief smith is often the most devout believer of Gunder in a certain place, and is certainly the best blacksmith.

The blacksmith named 'Martin' was short, five big and three thick. He glanced around vigilantly, and asked in the same surprise, "Aren't you, the secret guard agent of the Duchy of Os, also here?" Don't tell me, you're here to strike iron. ”

Robin's face sank, "I'm here to have my responsibilities. Being a blacksmith is just to make it easier for me to move. And what about you...... you don't have a reason to come to strike iron, right? Are you here for ......"

Robin's eyes looked at the working wind forging machine. Martin, the forger, immediately had a sinking face, "Don't think about it, I was invited. I have a friend in Coldwind who wrote to me and asked some questions. I was curious and came over. ”

Hehe...... Robin looked at the dress of the forging man opposite, sneered and shook his head, "You didn't reveal your true identity, did you, otherwise how could His Excellency the Chief Forger do such hard work?"

I'm afraid that even you will feel uneasy when this machine appears, right? Its forging ability can easily surpass yours, but it is under the control of an evil force. This is not a good thing for the church of the 'King of Blacksmiths'. ”

Isn't that a good thing? It's just terrible.

The principle of a machine that had such a revolutionary impact on forging was not complicated, but it was actually manufactured under the guidance of a layman who did not know how to strike iron. Where does this leave the face of the 'King of Blacksmiths'? This will shake the faith.

This kind of thing, either destroy it. Or learn it secretly and make one yourself.

It's just that these thoughts can't be told to outsiders, and after being exposed to his face, Martin the Forge shows a little anger. He snorted coldly, "What do you want as a secret agent?" Don't mess me up. ”

The followers of Gongde are all rectums, and when they are annoyed, they simply use the hammer to fight with others. Robin knew that these guys who only had forgers in their heads were not easy to mess with, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, you know that I also worked as a blacksmith and am also interested in this machine." ”

"You want to steal ...... and learn to build this machine?" Martin asked in a deep voice.

Robin nodded hurriedly.

The two were silent, and each glanced around a few more times. Martin beckoned Robin to the restroom in the forge yard. The two men whispered a discussion inside.

"This thing is not yet mature, and there are a lot of problems. But even then, there are a lot of techniques that I can't master. In particular, the windmill uses a lot of mechanical technology that only elves have, such as a thing called a 'bearing', which is the most important. ”

"Can't I get this technology from anywhere? Or whoever knows the most in the forge and we'll kidnap him. ”

"Kidnapping? You go tie up here Victor. Hugo. He designed it, and the original drawings are said to be in his bedroom. As for the limited abilities of other blacksmiths, I don't understand much as I do. ”

"So what now?"

"There's a way, I heard that someone is selling this drawing."

"Then hurry up and buy it."

"Are you sure it's not a trap, and the drawings are too expensive, and they cost five hundred gold coins."

"Hey...... it's too expensive."

The two were discussing in the toilet when 'Shadow' appeared outside the forge as he wandered around. He asked the dwarves who were in charge of the place, "Is there any new man coming today?" If not, I'll come back tomorrow. ”

The dwarf nodded, saying that there was just one for today. 'Shadow' was overjoyed and wanted to go to the forge to find someone.

The halfling girl was passing by with a whip, and when she saw the 'Swift Shadow' sneaky, she hurriedly ran over and asked, "Dead horse, what are you doing?" ”

"...... me? I didn't do anything. "'Shadow' turned around and wanted to slip away.

Kelly shouted, "Victor has been with the necromancer all this time, but you are running around so diligently, it's rare." ”

'Swift Shadow' suddenly sighed and said, "The master gave me the task to find a few fat sheep." But I haven't touched a fat sheep in the past few days. Now there are too many secrets of the elven ruins, and the adventurers are communicating in private, and the outdated information is worthless, so they don't look for me. ”

Kelly glared, and the whistling of the whip dance, "You don't come." Victor, that stupid ghost, can still fool Queen Ben? You're just one of his horses, don't even try to lie in front of me. Tell me, are you eyeing someone who wants to make extra money secretly? ”

"No, no, all transcribed confidential files are numbered. I'm just a horse, how can I ......."

"No need to make up lies, you've found the fat sheep, have you? I'll help you. ”

"Oh......? Half of that money will be made for you. ”

"Where's the Fat Sheep?"

Rubio said that there were two more fat sheep in the village today, but the old profiteer didn't say who the two fat sheep were. I guess the fat sheep is not in the forge yard, but in the barracks. Hopefully their wallets don't disappoint me. ”

The horse and the girl looked at each other and smiled.
