Chapter 51 Magic Soldering Techniques
As soon as he pushed open the door of the private room, he saw that Grand Magician Camilla was holding two steel plates about ten centimeters long, five centimeters wide, and about one centimeter thick in his left hand, and put these two steel plates together, and in his right hand, he was holding a strange-looking gadget with a thin probe, which was slowly moving from top to bottom along the gap between the two steel plates.
It is not clear what Grand Magician Camilla is doing from the side of the gate, but if you turn to the side of the real platform and look at it from the front, you will find that the steel around the joint between the two steel plates quickly melted as the gadget probe in Camilla's hand moved.
When the probe is removed, the molten steel quickly re-condenses, and when the probe passes from the top to the bottom of the gap, the two steel plates are tightly connected.
Xu Yi took the two steel plates from Camilla's hand, carried a corner and turned it upside down, and found that the two steel plates were indeed tightly connected, and there would be no shaking at all because of his action, as if they were originally connected together.
"Grandpa, you are really amazing, you have made a technological breakthrough in such a short period of time. Now it seems that this magic welding technology should be considered to have been formed, right?" Xu Yi praised.
Grand Magician Camilla sighed, shook his head, and then took the steel plates connected together from Xu Yi's hand, and then broke them with both hands.
"Smack-"
With a crisp sound, the two steel plates, which seemed to be tightly connected, were immediately broken.
Grand Magician Camilla looked at the side of the connecting seam and said to him, "See, the melt layer can only penetrate to a depth of no more than three millimeters at present. There is no way to make these two steel plates completely welded together. So this welding technology is actually not forming at all. ”
Xu also took two steel plates. I re-docked, looked left and right, and smiled dumbly: "Grandpa, I didn't expect your research on this technology to progress so quickly, so I forgot to remind you." In order to successfully weld these two steel plates, it is not enough to rely on these two steel plates alone, it is too difficult to melt and weld the two steel plates together, and you need to use an additional welding wire to meet the requirements. ”
"Welding wire?"
"Hmm......" Xu Yi glanced left and right. From the scrap iron steel plates that were all over the floor of the real room, he rebuilt a thin steel bar and handed it to Grand Magician Camilla. "Why don't you use this as a welding wire and let it melt into the weld seam and see how it works?"
Grand Magician Camilla took the thin steel wire, thought carefully for a while, and then put the two steel plates on the table again, side by side, and then put the thin steel bar in his left hand on the gap between the two steel plates, and held the small tool in his right hand, and the probe was next to the contact point between the thin steel bar and the two steel plates.
The probe glowed with a deep yellow light again, and the thin steel strip instantly melted into molten steel. Go deep into the gap between the two steel plates, and then melt the molten steel around the two steel plates.
Grand Magician Camilla carefully manipulated the thin steel bars and probes to move slowly downward. After the thin steel strips were completely consumed, only about two-thirds of the two steel plates were welded, and some of them were left unwelded.
Xu Yi hurriedly handed over another thin steel bar that he had found in advance, and after the Grand Magician Camilla took it, he obviously sped up his movements a little, and completely welded the remaining one-third of the part.
After stopping what he was doing, Grand Magician Camilla carefully examined the steel plates that were slowly welded together, and found that the two steel plates were obviously more firmly connected than the real ones just now.
Picked up the steel plate that was welded together and broke it with both hands at the same time, but found that it didn't move, even if he used all his strength, it was not directly broken like just now.
"That's pretty much it. Grand Magician Camilla nodded in satisfaction and handed the steel plate to Xu Yi. "See if you can break it? If you can't break it as a young man, then you should be able to do it. ”
Xu Yi shook his head: "I'm not much stronger than you, if you can't break it with such a strong effort, I can't either." ”
"Oh, so this welding technique is formed?" asked Grand Magician Camilla.
"Not necessarily. Xu Yi took the steel plate, pulled a table with his hand, kept a little gap with the test bench, put the steel plate in the middle, and then picked up a larger steel plate from the ground and smashed it hard in the middle.
"K-"
With a crisp loud sound, the two steel plates welded together were directly smashed open, and at the same time slipped off the tabletop, falling to the ground and smashing again with a crisp sound.
A hint of disappointment immediately appeared on Grand Magician Camilla's face.
"If that doesn't work, what should I do?"
Xu Yi smiled and picked up the two steel plates, and after looking at them, he turned the connecting surface to Grand Magician Camilla and said, "You see, there are obviously bubbles in here, so the welding is actually not perfect." As long as these small problems are solved, the welding quality is guaranteed. ”
"But I think even if this is the case, it can't be particularly solid, and if it is impacted by a particularly strong force, it will also cause it to fall off. Grand Magician Camilla frowned. "Could it be that this magic welding technique is still useless in the end?"
Xu Yi laughed, shook his head and said, "Grandpa, you can't be discouraged." This magic welding technique is not useless, but very important. It's just that your welding skills are not up to par, so the quality of the welding is relatively poor, which will cause this result. I don't think you're too good at that, but the blacksmiths and dwarven craftsmen are a bit better. So I think you can work with them in the next research work. ”
"Well, that's true. Grand Magician Camilla nodded. "I'm just good at magic, and I'm not as good at these specific smelting operations as the craftsmen. ”
"Yes, besides, magic welding often does not require the metal plates to be connected to each other as a whole plate, most of the time it is just to play a connecting role and a closed effect, without being subjected to super withstand impact. So the requirements are not so high. Xu Yi said again. "Besides. There is still a lot of room for research and improvement in this technology. You don't need to rush. ”
"How can you not be in a hurry?" Grand Magician Camilla glared at Xu Yi. "Canby, they've successfully developed all the magic engines, and I haven't solved this welding technology problem yet, isn't it a shame to compare?"
"So, the technical aspects of practical operations are not areas that you need to study. Your main job is in this area. Xu Yi picked up the gadget that Grand Magician Camilla had placed on the test table. "This magic welding gun is the most important thing you need to work on, and so far, it's pretty much a success. Next, all you need to do is engrave the Transformers Circle on the magic torch. Then just give a specific formation design drawing. The specific design process is the responsibility of Canbi and the design institute. ”
"Why do you say that, I feel like I'm useless?" said Grand Magician Camilla, frowning.
"How is that possible!" Xu Yi hurriedly retorted loudly. "Grandpa, we are studying magic machinery, magic is the most important thing, how could you be useless? If it weren't for you researching this magic array, this magic welding gun would not have appeared at all! Therefore, you are the one who plays the most important role in it, and no one else can compare!"
"Alright, don't pat my ass. I know what I'm doing. Although Grand Magician Camilla glared at Xu Yi, he was still amused by Xu Yi after all. He smiled and asked, "I haven't asked you what the result of this trip to the Duchy of Stantin was?"
Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders: "In front of the great gold coin pioneer, what problem can't be solved?"
"What? How many coins did those greedy guys ask you for?"
Xu Yi smiled bitterly: "It would be better if they spoke bluntly, the problem is that they still have to talk about some face, so many times they just hint at me and don't give a specific number." As a result, I had to guess what they really thought many times, and then when I gave out the money, I was afraid that I would upset them if I gave less. Alas, it's really tears when I mention it. These days, it's so tiring to give money to people. ”
"Hmph, sooner or later, these guys will sell the entire Duchy of Stantin. Grand Magician Camilla glanced at Xu Yi and pointed at him, "Maybe you bought it in the end." ”
"If I could, I'd love to buy them all. Xu Yi said with a smile. "Although the people of the Duchy of Stantin are not very good, it is extremely rich in terms of geographical location and natural resources, and it would be great to have such a place as your own territory. ”
"When I don't know what the hell you're up to?" said Grand Magician Camilla, snorting coldly. "In my opinion, you're probably going to have your eye on that place for a long time, and you're going to have to get your hands on it sooner or later, right? At the very least, you are genuinely willing to work hard for ordinary civilians to live a good life. ”
"If all the people in the kingdom of Lampari, well, if Count Stark could understand my painstaking efforts as much as you do. Xu also sighed.
"Dream on, his granddaughter is not married to you. Grand Magician Camilla's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "But I heard that Earl Stark has a young daughter who is not yet married, and she is twenty-seven years old this year, are you interested?"
Xu Yi waved his hand again and again: "Grandpa, don't make such jokes." If I really had any other ideas, let alone Steele, you'd probably be the first to kill me, wouldn't you?"
"Hmph, it's good to know!" "Grand Magician Camilla turned around and was busy on the stage again, but spit out a sentence from his mouth: "That little girl named Teresa, Steele already knows, you can do it yourself." ”
Xu Yi couldn't help but mumble at the end that he had only met Teresa twice.
The reason for this misunderstanding is probably because she left Teresa in the Falling Star Manor.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi immediately said goodbye to Grand Magician Camilla and went straight to the New Magic Research Institute, which had moved to the Falling Rain Valley. (To be continued......)
