Chapter 32: Energy Advantage

"Look, aim the thick end this side, and put it carefully into this groove. Xu Yi picked up a blank of screws and put it into the header. "Next, you must remember clearly, after putting it in, you must stay away from this machine, and you must not put your hand in again, otherwise the machine will start moving, and your whole hand will be broken, understand?"

Sitting in a circle around Xu Yi were the hundred slaves that Viscount Leslie had temporarily lent him, and when they heard Xu Yi's solemn order, they all nodded in unison to show that they understood.

"Okay, I'm going to press this switch next. Xu Yi reached out and pressed the switch of the header.

Pale cyan and crimson rays of light that represented the flow of magic flickered, and the punch of the header crashed down.

"Boom-"

The sudden explosion startled the surrounding slaves, and several timid slaves even squatted down with their heads in their hands, their bodies trembling.

"Don't be afraid, this is not an explosion, get up and watch it!" Xu Yi scolded, trying to restore order to the slaves.

Under the watchful eyes of the slaves, Xu Yi took out the blank that had completed the process from the groove of the heading machine, and held it up to signal to everyone.

"See, the thick end has been punched out of a cross-shaped groove, which means that the process is completed. The next thing you need to do is to use a tool to check if the cross groove is up to standard. Xu Yi took out another iron pillar with a pointed cross-shaped tip and inserted it into the top of the screw's head, which was exactly the same. "If you see that you can just put this bayonet in, it means that you are qualified, and you can take it to the next process. ”

The slaves nodded in understanding.

For the slaves of their status, magic is something that has nothing to do with them at all, not to mention that the machine in front of them looks so complicated and magical, if it were under normal circumstances, they would not dare to imagine that they would actually have the opportunity to touch the desktop machine and even control it.

However, since coming here, Heinze, under Xu Yi's orders, treats these slaves equally, and takes care of the lives of these slaves very thoughtfully, so that these slaves are very grateful to Xu Yi and Heinze in their hearts, so when Xu Yi pointed to the three slaves and asked them to come out to try to control it, although the three people were a little afraid of this machine in their hearts, they still obediently stepped forward and began to control it.

In fact, the control of the heading machine is very simple, and these slaves are also of normal intelligence, under Xu Yi's personal guidance, they overcame their fear of the machine, and soon mastered the processing process of this machine.

Seeing that the three slaves selected had gradually become proficient, Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction, motioned for them to continue, and then took the remaining slaves to another machine.

"Compared with the machine just now, the operation of this magic tooth rubbing machine is a little more troublesome, so you must be careful and not have a little mistake. ”

Xu Yi then singled out five more slaves and demonstrated to them in detail the operation process of the magic tooth rubbing machine, making sure that they had no doubts.

After demonstrating the magic tooth rubbing machine, Xu Yi took the remaining slaves to the last machine.

This machine is a small magic stamping machine that has been successfully developed under the cooperation of Xu Yi and Master Lanu.

"The operation of this machine is relatively simple, but the danger is much greater than that of the two machines just now, and if you don't pay attention to it, it is no problem to press your whole person into a puddle of meatloaf, so you must pay strict attention. "Given that these slaves were unaware of the dangers of magical machines, Xu also had to vaccinate them in advance, and put forward strict requirements and standardized work procedures to ensure that there were no accidents.

"Look, put this thin iron plate here first. It is important to note that the piece of iron must be completely attached to the entire model, without any gaps. The next thing to do is close the model, then step back a little bit and press the switch here. ”

"Pengβ€”"

The two huge modules in the small magic press were squeezed together, and the originally flat thin iron plate instantly turned into a semi-circular fan shell under the huge punching force.

This small magic press is naturally used for the mass production of fan housings.

Now, less than two days after the construction of the new workshop, there are as many as five different magic machines scattered around, each responsible for the construction of the various components of the second version of the variable speed magic fan.

With the help of these machines, the craftsmanship requirements of the workers were greatly reduced, so Xu Yi could even abandon the blacksmith shops in Bonta City this time, and only rely on these slaves sent by Viscount Leslie to complete the production of magic fans.

Of course, the core power component of the magic fan, the magic array base, still needs those students to complete.

After teaching the slaves how to operate the machines, Xu Yi dispersed them and taught them how to assemble them into a complete magic fan.

If assembling a magic fan is a complex process, it is easy to break it up into dozens of processes.

Some slaves only need to learn to put several components together according to a certain pattern, others only need to thread thin wires together to assemble a protective net, and some slaves have a simpler job, which is to put screws......

These slaves have basically no cultural education, and their comprehension ability is naturally not too high, but as long as their IQ is normal, they have no problem mastering these simple processes.

Xu Yi was busy all morning, and these slaves were already familiar with their own processes, and the whole workshop immediately entered a tense working atmosphere.

Xu Yi looked at his results with satisfaction and nodded with satisfaction.

Next, it is only necessary to continuously adjust the number of workers responsible for each process according to the efficiency of these slaves, so that the entire assembly line operation is smoother.

As for this part of the work, of course, it is arranged by Heinze, the factory director, and there is no need for Xu Yi to take care of it personally.

Watching the slaves who controlled the machine becoming more and more proficient, Xu Yi suddenly found that he seemed to have overlooked an advantage on the Sainz continent.

Compared to the highly developed industrial system on Earth, there are many places on the continent of Sainz that are far inferior.

But there is an advantage, but the earth is far inferior to the Sainz continent.

That's energy.

The main categories of energy on earth are oil, coal, hydropower, wind power, solar energy, nuclear energy, etc......

Among these energy sources, whether it is the most widely used oil, coal mines, or nuclear power, which is in the development stage, they all have a fatal flaw: they are extremely polluting.

Any industrialized country on the planet will pollute and destroy the environment in the process of industrialization, and finally have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to re-manage the environment.

Less polluting hydropower, wind power, and solar power are far from becoming mainstream because of their low energy efficiency.

In contrast, the magic machines that Xu Yi is currently researching all use magic arrays as driving power, and it is magic crystals that keep the magic arrays running.

No matter what kind of magic array it is, after the magic power contained in it is consumed, the magic crystal will only turn into an ordinary stone without causing any pollution.

Even the highest quality top-grade magic crystals are completely condensed by magic power, if the magic power is consumed, the entire magic crystal will disappear with it, leaving no traces, and naturally there will be no pollution.

In addition, the Magic Crystal has an even greater advantage, which is the extremely high energy conversion rate.

Just a small piece of very inferior magic crystal is enough to support the magic fan to run for three full days, while changing to an ordinary desktop electric fan on the earth requires at least three kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Converting these three kilowatt-hours of electricity into energy would consume more than one kilogram of coal by average on Earth, and at the same time cause nearly four kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions.

Whether it is energy conversion rate or pollution process, magic crystals have unparalleled advantages.

What's more, at present, because of the industrial base of the Sainz continent, in fact, the magic fan developed by Xu Yi far exceeds the electric fans on the earth that have undergone many technological improvements in terms of energy consumption.

If you can meet the standards of craftsmanship on Earth in this regard, then the cost of Mana Crystals will be lower.

As for the Mana Crystals, they can be found almost everywhere on the Sainz Continent, and there are three large Mana Crystal Mines outside Bonta City alone.

And because mana crystals are so common, except for those that produce ultra-high-quality mana crystal mines, ordinary mana crystal mines are not cared for at all.

"Heinze, go buy some mana crystal mines. Xu Yi suddenly rushed to Heinze, who was observing the work of the slaves.

"Huh, why are you suddenly going to buy the Magic Crystal Mine again?" Although he had long been accustomed to Xu Yi's unbridled thinking jump, Heinze was still stunned. "If we want a magic crystal, we can buy it directly from other chambers of commerce, if we mine it ourselves, I'm afraid the cost will be even higher." ”

"No, be sure to buy a few mines, and even as much as we can, the more the better. Xu Yizheng said. "Remember, energy is something that will only be used less and less, and in any case, it is best to be able to control it in your own hands. ”

Heinze frowned and looked at Xu Yi, not knowing why he suddenly came up with this idea.

But he also understands that his foresight in this regard is far inferior to Xu Yi, and since he has decided so, he must have his reasons.

"Okay, I'll do it. ”

Xu Yiyi grabbed Heinze's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Remember, this matter must be fast and kept as confidential as possible, understand?"

Heinze couldn't help but mutter.

Is there anything that needs to be kept secret about such a thing that is not worth mentioning?
