Chapter 94: High Concentration Magic Crystal
Xu Yi's positioning of the magic airship and the magic ship is different in his heart, and the requirements are naturally different.
For the magic steamer, he is mainly positioned in the cargo side, so the main requirement for the magic ship is to have a large cargo capacity, and not too much for the power speed.
But for the magic airship, his positioning is high-speed and fast, and its main purpose is to carry people and some freight.
And from a long-term strategic consideration, the strategic significance of the magic airship is extremely important, and it will definitely undertake more important tasks in the future, so he has higher requirements for the magic airship, which mainly focuses on power, safety, endurance and other aspects.
After discussing with Evita for a while, Xu Yi clarified the direction of research and development to Evita again, asking her to increase the speed of the magic airship while increasing its endurance.
Xu Yi's requirement for the magic airship is to hope that its flight speed can at least exceed the speed at which the great mage can use flying magic.
As far as Grand Magician Camilla is concerned, if he uses flying magic with all his might, he can even reach or even exceed fifty kilometers per hour, but the current speed of the magic airship is only forty kilometers per hour, which is far from Xu Yi's requirements.
Of course, Evita said that there was a lot of room for improvement in the speed of the magic airship.
Whether it is from the power output provided by the magic array, or from the mechanical structure of the magic airship itself, it can increase its flight speed.
Of course, with the current progress of the development of the magic airship, it is still far from reaching the exaggerated range of thousands of kilometers per hour on Earth.
After asking about the magic airship, Xu also turned the conversation to another project that Evita was also responsible for.
This project is the Magic Crystal Refinery.
Previously, Evita had already researched several suitable and useful magic arrays. It can refine mana crystals mined in ordinary mines into new types of high-concentration mana crystals.
These high-concentration magic crystals have been produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and used by themselves in various magic machines. For example, it is used in a lot on magic cars, magic armored transporters, magic ships, and magic planes. Because the concentration of magic contained in it is higher, the effect of the magic array is better, and the output magic power is naturally much better than using ordinary magic crystals.
However, this high-concentration magic crystal also has a lot of problems.
One of them is that the stability of this high-concentration magic crystal is not stable enough, and it is not suitable for long-term storage, and it is easy to affect the output power due to the decrease in concentration in the later stage, which is easy to cause accidents.
Evita's current main R&D task for refining mana crystals is to improve the stability of new mana crystals. And it has also achieved certain results.
According to the latest research and development results, the high-concentration magic crystals extracted by Evita's newly designed magic crystal refining circle can be safely stored in room temperature air for more than a month without any mana leakage and instability.
This is even more than ordinary magic crystals.
In terms of quality alone, the magic power contained in a traditional high-grade magic crystal is not even one-tenth of that of a high-concentration magic crystal of the same size after being refined.
In Evita's opinion, ordinary magic crystals can be completely eliminated, because they have a very important problem, that is, they are too large and take up too much space.
If you use ordinary magic crystals, you must set aside enough magic crystal supply chambers, which adds a lot of difficulty to the overall magic machine design.
"Take the magic airship, for example. At present, this medium-sized magic airship is due to the need to consider the use of ordinary magic crystals. So the supply compartment system is very large. One of the ways you said you want to increase the endurance and speed of the magic airship is to expand the supply bay. Another option is to use a high-concentration mana crystal that has been refined. ”
"Power output is the foundation of large magic machines, changing the power supply method will have an impact on the entire magic airship, do you think you can design a magic airship that suits this scheme?" Xu Yi asked.
"Absolutely. Evita replied confidently, "Actually, the use of ordinary magic crystals has to set aside a huge supply chamber, which has a great impact on the mechanical design and power design of the entire magic airship. If a high concentration of magic crystals is used, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of designing in this regard. ”
"Well, I can understand that. Xu Yi nodded, and then asked, "Then what about your concerns, since you have taken this into account, why don't you make corresponding solutions when designing this magic airship?"
Evita looked at Xu Yi and hesitated slightly.
"President...... Actually, it's not my concern, it's yours. ”
"What am I worried about?" Xu was surprised.
"Actually, the R&D center of the magic machine tool and our magic research institute are very strange, and now the research and development of high-concentration magic crystals is actually quite mature, and in my opinion, it can be fully put into production and officially used. And it can improve the use of many of the magic machines developed by our Chamber of Commerce. But until now, you've only asked a small fraction of your magic machines to use high-concentration magic crystals. So...... I wonder, what are you worried about, President?"
Xu Yi glanced at Evita in surprise: "Is this your opinion?"
"It should be said that we have a common opinion of the Magic Research Institute and the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center. The technology is already mature, but you are reluctant to put it into production in a big way, and everyone is very surprised. ”
"Oh, I don't think you're all concerned about that. Xu Yi smiled. "It's just because it's not ripe enough. Evita, have you ever wondered if if the Chamber of Commerce started to promote high-concentration mana crystals in a big way, would mana crystals still be as cheap and unappreciated as they are now?"
Evita pondered for a moment, then looked abrupt.
"No wonder you've been buying those worthless magic crystal ores everywhere, you've been thinking about these issues for a long time. ”
"Because I firmly believe that magic machines will be widespread on this continent. When all of them use all kinds of magical machines. The demand for mana crystals on this continent is bound to become very high. And the so-called market and price. It's based on demand. Magic crystals are cheap nowadays to the point where no one values them. But in the future, the magic crystal will definitely become an extremely important resource, and even all the countries on this continent will start a war for this resource. ”
When Xu Yi said this, he naturally thought about the earth's oil resources.
Although mana crystals can be found everywhere on the Sainz continent, there are so many that people are even numb.
But when magic machinery becomes popular, because of the huge demand, no matter how much resources can be found everywhere, it will definitely become hot.
Xu Yi said that the countries on this continent did not hesitate to start a war for the magic crystal, which is not an exaggeration at all.
Evita didn't travel from Earth like Xu Yi. Of course, I don't know the importance of core resources to each country, so I can't quite understand the situation described by Xu Yi.
However, this did not prevent her from believing what Xu Yi said.
This grown-up has never been a philanthropist.
Numerous facts have proved that Xu Yi is far stronger than others in terms of long-term vision.
In the afternoon, Akali swam a few laps in the sea, and worked with Freya to build a dune castle, and then lay down on the beach to soak up the sun, and the whole person was completely relaxed for an afternoon.
Evita and Xu also sat on the edge of the beach, blowing the sea breeze. Listening to the sound of the waves, but discussing the most beautiful technical issues.
A few times Akali came running to pull the two into the sea. was sternly rejected by the two, so he could only drag Steele into the sea with him.
When the sun sets on the horizon, the setting sun turns the sea a bright red, and the entire beach is also dyed with a reddish glow.
Feeling that the sea breeze blowing on his body had brought a hint of coolness, Xu Yicai realized that the time had passed unconsciously, and he ended the conversation with Evita.
"Alright, Evita, let's get here today. You should study the problems I just mentioned when you go back, and strive to develop the magic airship in my mind as soon as possible. As for other issues, you can also make preliminary preparations first, and when the time comes, I hope that the Magic Research Institute can come up with a corresponding plan as soon as possible. ”
"Okay. Evita nodded, stood up with Xu Yi, and saw that Akali had also swam back, so she took out the magic phone box and pressed a switch.
About ten minutes later, Akali had just dried herself when the magic airship that had brought the two of them flew over the surface of the sea and came to a steady stop on the beach.
"President, then we'll go back first. ”
Evita greeted Xu Yi and Steele, and turned to walk towards the magic airship.
Akali glanced at Xu Yi, snorted softly, didn't look away, just raised her hand to Steele, turned around and left.
Xu Yi smiled dumbly: "This stingy guy, hasn't he lost his anger all afternoon?"
Steele pursed his lips and chuckled, "Of course, this is the thing that girls care about the most, and of course she is not happy when you say that." What's more, what she cares about most in her heart is your evaluation, but you say you don't like it, it's no wonder she can be happy. ”
Xu Yi shook his head helplessly: "I can't go against my conscience, right?"
"So, after all, you still like big-breasted girls the most, right?"
Xu Yi's gaze fell on Steele's chest and raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?"
Steele smiled, suddenly leaned over to Xu Yi's ear, and said softly, "Do you know why Evita just didn't want to change into a swimsuit just now?"
"Because you're shy, aren't you? After all, I'm a man here. ”
Steele shook his head, "No, I'm sure she really wanted to change into a bathing suit and show off her figure in front of you, especially after you said that." ”
Xu Yi touched his nose: "What do you mean by this?"
That's what it means. Steele laughed, "She didn't want to change into a swimsuit, not because she was shy, but because she was afraid that it would hit Akali." Because...... Evita is much plumper than I am. ”
Xu Yi looked at the majestic shape on Steele's chest in surprise, and swallowed with difficulty. (To be continued......)
