Chapter 100: Here comes a raise for you
When Xu Yi saw Grand Magician Camilla, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The current Grand Magician Camilla was wearing a set of sky blue loose linen overalls that were standard for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, holding two steel plates in his left hand and a magic welding torch in his right hand, staring intently at the gap between the two steel plates, moving the magic welding torch little by little.
If you put a protective mask on his face, it will be exactly like the welders on the earth.
Seeing that Grand Magician Camilla's entire energy was focused on the steel plate and the magic welding gun, Xu Yi didn't bother him, just stood at the door and carefully observed his movements.
Compared to when the magic welding torch was first developed, the current Grand Magician Camilla is undoubtedly much more proficient in welding two steel plates.
Although the magic welding gun he was holding in his right hand did not move quickly, the speed was very steady, and the magic welding gun did not tremble at all.
This alone is enough to compare with the old welders on the planet who have many years of experience.
And after the Grand Magician Camilla skillfully welded the two steel plates, Xu Yi took two steps forward to take a look, and found that there were almost no welding traces at the welding of the two steel plates, and the two steel plates seemed to be born together, as if they were originally a whole.
Xu Yi couldn't help but be amazed, picked up the welded steel plate, pinched both ends, and broke it with both hands, but the steel plate did not move.
Seeing Xu Yi's movements, Grand Magician Camilla smiled: "Boy, do you think I'm still the same as before?"
Xu Yi shook his head, learning to test both sides after the first Camilla Grand Magician welded successfully. Place the steel plates on two tables at each end. Leave a gap in between. Then he picked up another steel plate on the ground, lifted it high, and smashed it down.
"K-"
A dull thud rang out in the research room, and the steel plate bounced off the table and fell to the ground, still not letting go.
Xu Yi picked up the steel plate from the ground, carefully observed the welding gap between the two steel plates, and found that there were still no traces of loosening. I couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's so strong! Grandpa, how the hell did you do that?"
Grand Magician Camilla laughed and said quite smugly: "Actually, it's just an improvement in the welding method." In the past, I heard you say what kind of electrode to use to fill the welding gap and use the melted electrode to connect the steel plate, so I have been thinking about how to deal with the problem of filling the electrode into it. But then I thought that since I wanted to use the melted electrode to solidify and connect, why not just melt the two steel plates themselves and then fuse them together, wouldn't it be much more reliable than using welding rods?"
Xu Yiyi was stunned: "Let the steel plate melt itself? This can't be done, right? The reason why the welding rod can melt is because the welding rod itself is relatively thin, and some accelerants need to be added......
Speaking of which. Xu Yi suddenly froze.
He suddenly remembered that when the great magician Camilla was doing all kinds of welding solids before. The welding rod used did not add any accelerant at all, because the earth-based magic developed by Grand Magician Camilla, which Xu Yi ridiculed as the "Transformers Circle", could directly dissolve the metal without using any other means to assist.
If this is the case, then the idea of Grand Magician Camilla is undoubtedly quite correct.
Anyway, the steel can be melted lightly, so why bother to toss the welding rod for welding? Compared with this welding method, which is not particularly reliable, of course, it directly makes the two steel plates themselves dissolved and fused more stable.
Xu Yi looked at the steel plate in his hand that seemed to be a complete piece, and there was a trace of emotion in his heart.
After all, he was still too deeply influenced by the ideas of the earth, and always considered problems in the ways and methods of the earth.
In fact, on the continent of Sainz, because of the existence of magic, there are always some things that are not easy to do on the earth, but they can be solved by magic.
For example, the magic array that Grand Magician Camilla has researched that can smelt metal even without the need for high temperatures is much easier and easier to operate than the way that high temperature smelting must be used on earth.
"I'll show you a new welding method that I've developed. Suddenly, Grand Magician Camilla picked up two more steel plates, and tapped his fingers on the sides of them.
Xu Yi could probably see that he should have laid a few very small magic arrays on these two steel plates, but because the magic arrays were too small, he couldn't see clearly.
After a while, Grand Magician Camilla stopped what he was doing, raised two steel plates to signal to Xu Yi, and then tightly pressed the two sides of the magic array together.
Xu Yi felt a wave of magic power at the seam of the steel plate, and then the Grand Magician Camilla let go of one hand, and saw that the two steel plates had been connected together, as if they had been welded.
"How is this welded?" Xu Yi took the steel plate from Camilla's hand in confusion and carefully observed the joints between the two steel plates.
Although the joints of these two steel plates are not like the two steel plates welded by Camilla's great magician before, there are even no gaps, but the joints are extremely tight and the connection is also very high, even if Xu Yi did the strong impact test again, there are still no traces of explosion.
"It's very simple, I just arranged a few miniature smelting circles on the sides of these two steel plates, and then I only need to connect the two sides, import magic power to activate the magic array, and the sides of the steel plates will melt, and naturally the two steel plates can be welded together. ”
Xu Yi simulated the welding of two steel plates in his mind and understood.
Compared with the previous welding method, this welding method is undoubtedly worse in terms of solidity, but the advantage is that the surface of the steel plate can be kept smooth and clean, and there is no need to do post-processing like the previous welding method, which is undoubtedly much more convenient.
And this welding method will work wonders at a specific time, for example, many places that need to be welded if the magic welding gun is used for welding, because of the space and angle limitations, it is very difficult to weld, but if this welding method is adopted, if the magic array is arranged on the side of the steel plate connection in advance, then the welding can be completed only by docking the steel plate, and the difficulty is almost none.
Moreover, because this method can be prepared in advance in the way of preset magic array, in case of emergency, it can be welded very quickly, which can meet the requirements of some special situations.
Xu Yi instantly thought of the situation that needed to be used in this new welding method in his mind, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Grand Magician Camilla.
"Grandpa, you are worthy of being a great magician, and you can actually think of such a useful method. Speaking of this, Xu Yi sighed. "Well, it would be nice to have a few more great mages like you devote themselves to the study of magical machinery. ”
Grand Magician Camilla rolled her eyes: "Are you a great magician and a cabbage sold on the street?
Xu Yi smiled: "Of course it's not that easy for a great magician, but it's not so difficult for a relatively advanced magician, right?"
Grand Magician Camilla glanced at Xu Yi and snorted coldly: "What the hell do you kid have again? To be honest, I knew that it would be okay for you to come to me specifically." ”
Xu Yi immediately shouted: "Who said that there is no good thing? Isn't it a good thing that I came to give you a salary increase?"
"Salary increase?" said Grand Magician Camilla, stunned. "What are you going to do with my salary increase? I have a salary of more than 3,000 gold coins a year, what else do I need to add? Besides, I now have a chamber of commerce to provide all kinds of magic materials for research, and I don't need that much money at all. If you don't have a lot of money, you might as well allocate some more funds to the Magic Research Institute. ”
"Increasing the funds allocated to the Magic Research Institute has also been considered for a long time, but it is also imperative to raise your salary, otherwise how can you rely on this to attract other magicians to join us to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yihe said with a smile.
Grand Magician Camilla frowned and thought for a moment, understanding what Xu Yi meant.
"What do you mean...... You want to give me a higher salary and use me to advertise?"
"That's right. Xu Yi nodded again and again. "You see, you are now the only great magician of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and that is the signature of our Chamber of Commerce. Something that happens to you is going to get the attention of the other magicians in particular, right?"
"Of course that's true, but ......" Grand Magician Camilla glanced at Xu Yi and said suspiciously: "How are you going to use me to make a fuss this time? Just give me a salary increase? I don't think this has any effect, my salary is already high enough, and no matter how much I increase, it shouldn't have much effect." ”
"Hehe, it didn't work much, that's because it was added too little. If you want to really make a splash, you can't be too stingy. ”
Grand Magician Camilla frowned, "How much are you going to add to me? Five thousand gold coins a year? That's too much, isn't it?"
Xu Yi shook his head with a smile and stretched out a finger.
"No, 5,000 gold coins is not much, how can it achieve the advertising sensation I wanted. This time, I intend to directly raise your annual salary to 10,000 gold coins!"
"Ten thousand gold coins?" said Grand Magician Camilla's eyes widened in surprise. "Xu Yi, you kid is crazy, isn't it! Give me a year's salary of 10,000 gold coins?
"If you want to get a good return, you need a good investment. Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Although 10,000 gold coins is not a small amount, I think that if it is used to measure the value of your great magician, it is too little." As far as I'm concerned, the value of you alone is far more than just 10,000 gold coins, not to mention that I have other purposes for giving you such a salary. ”
"To make the other great magicians tempted as well?" asked Grand Magician Camilla.
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "That's right." (To be continued......)
