Chapter 32: The Gnomes' Magical Technology
A rectangular steel plate 3.7 meters long, 3.6 meters wide and only 7 millimeters thick was placed on the work table of the magic machine by two workers.
Then a worker pressed a button, and the platform rose about 10 centimeters, then was sent under the stamping pile, where it stopped when the left corner was just 37 centimeters out.
Then the stamping pile falls, and the steel plate bends slightly under the tremendous pressure of the stamping pile.
When the originally flat steel plate completed a slight arc on one side, the stamping pile was lifted, and the conveyor belt on the operation table sent the steel plate forward again, and the stamping pile fell again, repeating the operation just now.
After repeating this dozens of times, the entire steel plate has been bent into a standard semicircle.
When the semicircular steel plate was just sent out by the conveyor belt, Lumi, who had been guarding the side for a long time, immediately rushed over, stretched out his little hand and touched the steel plate, carefully observed it up and down, left and right, turned his head and said to Xu Yi with a look of amazement: "Oh my God, it's actually the most standard arc!
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "You have to ask Sancelli, this automatic magic punching machine is he responsible for the research and development of the core magic array, and he knows the principle better than me." ”
Sancheli, who was standing beside Xu Yi, smiled, waved his hand, and pointed to Camby on his right hand and said, "I just designed a few magic arrays, if it weren't for Kanbi and them, who could perfectly realize my idea, it would be useless at all." ”
Camby cracked his mouth and laughed, not modest, but he also raised his arm and slapped Sancelli's thigh hard. Said: "The magic array designed by Sancelli is still very magical. Otherwise, this machine would not be so powerful. ”
Lumi shook her little arm. "I don't want to waste my time listening to you praising each other, I just want to know, what is the principle of this automatic magic forging machine, why does it stop and punch in a specific place so precisely, and still work so precisely so many times in a row, without even a single error?"
Sancelli and Camby glanced at each other, but they both turned their gazes to Xu Yi.
Although the first time they heard the president introduce the dwarf named Lumi, they were both shocked.
But after getting along for so many days, the two got used to it.
Now they know that Lumi has been hired by Xu Yi as a special researcher at the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but there are a number of things about how the automatic magic machine works and what the correlation is. But it's a top secret of the Chamber of Commerce, and even if Lumi is a special researcher, she doesn't have the qualifications to know.
Sure enough, Xu Yi smiled slightly and said to Lumi: "Lumi, this working principle is very troublesome to explain, and it can't be explained clearly for a while. If you're interested, I've got a couple of books on mechanical theory that you can take a look at. After reading it, I believe you will understand more than half of it. ”
"The knowledge in that book. Is that why you've been able to invent these strange magical machines?" asked Lumi rhetorically.
"It's not quite accurate, but it's based on the fact that there's nothing wrong with this mechanical theory. Xu Yi said with a smile. "Your gnomes' research in magical machinery is primarily focused on magic. However, the main advantage of the magic machinery produced by our chamber of commerce is in the mechanical design. Once you've read these books, you'll understand the difference. ”
"So amazing?" Lumi looked at Xu Yi with a curious expression. "Alright, you can show it to me in a moment. ”
"Good. After Xu Yi agreed, he looked left and right, and then told Sancheli and Camby: "You two are here to continue to supervise the trial operation of the automatic magic machine tool, and if there is any problem, report it immediately." He beckoned to Lumi again. "Lumi, the automatic magic machine can't run here, let's go to the shipyard now. The engineer there has some questions about the magic ship drawings you gave. ”
"Oh. Lumi nodded, and reluctantly left the automatic magic machine.
As she passed by Camby, she suddenly stood on tiptoe, raised her head and gestured back and forth between her head and Camby's, and then sighed in frustration: "Alas, it's been almost a hundred years, and I still haven't grown taller." ”
Xu Yi, Sancelli and Camby were all crying and laughing.
This Lumi is obviously over a hundred years old, why would she still behave like a child?
Is this the nature of the dwarfs?
The shipyard was not far from here, and it only took Xu Yi and Lumi a few minutes to walk over.
As soon as they saw Lumi, several human, dwarven, and elven engineers in the shipyard rushed over and surrounded Lumi.
"Hey, Lumi, look, I find this blueprint you gave a lot of problems here. I've calculated that if this is the way it is designed, when the speed of the magic energy ship exceeds 50 kilometers per hour, the impact force may lead to excessive impact, and eventually the guide will wear out excessively, greatly reducing the service life of this component. ”
"And here, you see, if this magic array is set according to the function, such a unilateral right-angled plate design will cause obstacles, and eventually make the effect of the magic array unable to play to the fullest. So I built yì, either to remove this redundant unilateral right-angled plate, or to redesign it to better play the role of this magic array. ”
"They both said it was a small problem, and the one I found was the big problem. You see, if this magic array is engraved here, it will cause a small overlap with the magic array force field, which is the core of the power output. Although this range is not large, I have calculated that if the magic energy ship encounters special circumstances, such as excessive wind and waves, and needs the power output magic array and this water system magic array used to stabilize the dìng, it will be very strict. It is extremely easy to guide the two magic arrays to lose their effect at the same time. In that critical situation, this accident could lead to the loss of control of the entire magic energy ship. ”
"Hey, it's not just you who found a big problem, okay? Lumi, you see......"
......
Lumi listened blankly as the engineers kept recounting the problems they had discovered, and for a moment froze.
A week ago, when she took out the blueprint of this magic energy ship, she was very confident.
Because this drawing is the research result of thousands of years of research on magic energy machinery by the dwarf race, it represents one of the drawings of the highest level of the dwarf race.
She had thought that with this drawing, she would be able to establish her authority among the other mechanics in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce who were developing magic ships, and more importantly, gain the recognition and respect of these engineers for the dwarf magic machine.
At that time, the engineers were indeed amazed by the intricate design on the drawings of the magic ship, and they were extremely impressed by it.
But I didn't expect that only a week had passed, and these guys would find so many faults in one go, which really surprised Lumi.
After listening for a while, Lumi's confusion gradually subsided, and her anger grew.
This drawing is a condensation of the essence of the dwarf race, how can there be so many problems?
These guys must be talking nonsense!
However, when Lumi took the drawings and discussed each problem with the engineers, she was immediately overwhelmed by the detailed numbers and concrete results that the engineers came up with.
Lumi never imagined that these engineers would be able to make hundreds of calculations and hundreds of model realizations just for a very small problem.
Because of these foundations, all aspects of the data they give are extremely perfect, so that no matter how small the problem is, it is naked and completely exposed, and there is nothing to hide, and it is completely impossible for Lumi to refute.
"It's no wonder that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has been able to build so many strange magical machines with very few problems. This kind of research spirit is really terrifying. While admiring in her heart, Lumi couldn't help but glance back at Xu Yi.
These engineers were able to develop this research spirit, apparently because of the strict requirements placed on them by the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
While frustrated that the drawings she took out had so many problems, Lumi was also very excited.
With such a strong research team, it's no wonder that the New Flying Chamber was able to build three such huge steel steamers as the Spreading Wings, the Rising Sun, and the Goddess of Victory, Elis.
With this foundation in mind, it became a very achievable goal for her to develop a magic steamer with enough capacity for true ocean voyages at the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking that in the future, he would take an even more huge magic ship to drift across the sea, sail thousands of kilometers, even tens of thousands of kilometers, and finally find the clansmen who had disappeared for more than 2,000 years on another continent on the other side of the Endless Sea, and then show them the more outstanding results of magical energy machinery research obtained by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which made the clansmen amazed, Lumi felt that his heart was full of fire-like enthusiasm.
Seeing Lumi's enthusiastic discussion with the shipyard's engineers with a devoted face, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
It's been almost a month since Lumi came to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but she hasn't been able to integrate well.
Now after this incident, she can discover her own shortcomings, and also allow her to better discuss and get acquainted with other engineers, which is really something that Xu Yi is very happy to see.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi gave up his previous plan to accompany Lumi in the shipyard for an afternoon, quietly left here, and returned to the administrative headquarters set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the center of the industrial zone.
Pushing open the door to the CEO's office, Kennard was seen staring at a report in his hand with a sad face.
Seeing Xu Yi come in, Kennard shook his head with a wry smile.
"Lord, we're in big trouble this time. (To be continued......)
