Chapter 62: Engines

Walking into the R&D workshop of the magic machine tool, I unexpectedly saw that Portru was getting together with several other dwarves, talking about something around a strange-looking machine.

Xu Yi walked over and listened to two sentences, and found that they were studying the kinetic energy parameters of this magic stamping machine.

According to Xu Yi's original design, the kinetic energy of this magic stamping machine comes from the fourth-level fire magic, the bursting magic array, and the powerful impact brought by the bursting technique drives the module to complete the stamping.

At first, there was no problem with this design.

However, after a period of application, the dwarves gradually found that the punching force of this magic stamping machine was still slightly insufficient, and the interval between each burst and recovery of the bursting magic circle was long, which severely limited the stamping efficiency.

As the new flying company received more and more orders and the production tasks became heavier and heavier, this magic stamping machine was a little inefficient.

Although it is possible to solve this problem by producing a few more magic stamping machines, it will require several more workers to operate the magic stamping machine, which will indirectly increase costs.

As a result, while the dwarves led by Canby were researching new machine tools, they did not stop improving the old models of magic machine tools.

For the improvement of this magic stamping machine, Xu has also given a design drawing of a stamping machine with a new structure of mechanical power.

However, because Xu Yi only knew the mechanical punch mechanism on the earth, and the overall structure would have to be changed if the magic array was used as the driving force, the specific overall structure research still had to be completed by dwarves such as Camby.

Now Portrou et al. are studying the kinetic energy parameters of the old magic stamping machine, just to determine the stamping specifications of the old stamping machine first. Then, on this basis, the mechanical power scheme of the mechanical magic punch is designed.

This is a job that requires precise calculations, which the dwarves did not have a habit of doing before. This is still a habit that has been developed after working in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a long time and being constantly influenced by Xu Yi.

Seeing Xu Yi walk in. Portru and the others stopped discussing and handed over some of the parameters and estimation results that had been determined to Xu Yi to watch.

Although Xu Yi has now minimized his involvement in the research and development process, he is the best magical mechanical engineer in their minds, whether it is the dwarves in the R&D workshop of the magic machine tool or the magicians such as Evita in the Magic Research Institute.

Xu Yi carefully read the research notes of several dwarves, pointed out a few misunderstandings, and then explained the design direction to them a little, and then did not say anything.

The reason why he gradually reduced his participation was to cultivate these dwarves and Evita's own research consciousness and knowledge accumulation as much as possible.

After Xu Yi finished discussing with Poteru and the others, Camby, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately asked, "President." Come here today, do you have any new R&D tasks for us to complete?"

Hearing Camby's question, the other dwarves were all shocked, and their eyes were blazing and they all looked at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking that these dwarves were all workaholics.

"Yes, this time there is a new task, and it is a very difficult task, do you want to take it?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

Camby pouted, "President, are you asking nonsense? Go ahead. What is it?"

"Good. There are two missions in total, the first one is relatively simple. Xu Yi took out two drawings, and first took out the first one and spread it out. "Yesterday I promised President Pompeiry, of Filson's Carriage Company, that I would help him design and make a tire. Instead of those carriage underneath the wheels. You see, this is the schematic. ”

The dwarves leaned over to take a look, and Portru was stunned, "President." This tire structure is so simple, what do you need us to develop and design? Just a little modification of the existing magic machine tools. ”

"So I said the first task was simpler. Xu Yi spread out the second drawing. "As for the second task. That's a lot harder. ”

The dwarves looked down at the drawings again, and suddenly frowned.

The second blueprint has a very strange thing drawn on it. It is roughly a rectangular shape, but it is connected to various belt conveyors and a series of bewildering mechanical models.

With just one glance, the dwarves were sure that this thing was indeed very troublesome.

"What is this, President?" asked Portru.

Xu Yi smiled: "This thing is amazing." If you can develop it, I can guarantee that the entire Sainz continent will change dramatically!"

Camby pursed his lips disdainfully, "President, I've stopped saying this countless times. That's what you say every time you ask us to work on something new. ”

"Then do you admit that what I said is the truth?" Xu Yi said with a smile.

Camby was stunned, glanced at the other dwarves, and found that he couldn't refute Xu Yi.

The current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is relying on one new product after another to change Bonta City and several surrounding cities.

In time, it is also predictable that it will affect the entire Sainz continent and thus change the entire Sainz continent.

"This thing I asked you to study this time is even more powerful than the previous one that I asked you to study, and it can change the entire continent even more. Xu Yi smiled. "Because it has a great name, it's called the engine. ”

###

Studying engines is actually an extremely difficult thing to do even on Earth.

Because the engine has extremely high requirements in all aspects, it not only needs a very high theoretical foundation in the mechanical industry, but also needs a strong enough material base, both of which are indispensable.

However, the engine is only a general term, and in fact, it is divided into automobile engines, ship engines, aircraft engines, aerospace engines, and so on......

On this Sainz continent, where the industrial base is weak and science and technology are even weaker, Xu Yi naturally cannot hope to achieve it in one step, and even the space engine can be developed directly.

He handed over to the dwarves such as Canby to study and design, but in fact, strictly speaking, it could not be regarded as an engine, but only a crude engine model.

In the engines on the earth, all kinds of petroleum processed products are powered, but on the Sainz continent, Xu Yi has never seen oil, nor has he heard where oil appears, so naturally there is no way to adopt the same engine design.

Of course, the absence of oil does not mean that the engine cannot be designed, on the contrary, because it is not limited to the design of the internal combustion engine powered by oil, Xu Yi can design the engine more easily.

For example, in order to make the oil provide internal combustion, the blades are driven to provide rotational force, and then the power is transmitted through the guò mechanism, the most important thing in engine design is how to make better use of the pressure provided by oil combustion, which is very complex to design.

On the Sainz continent, due to the special nature of magic, Xu Yi's design is even easier.

Even he had two completely different options.

One option is to emulate the engine design on Earth, using the explosive and impactful power provided by fire magic, instead of the pressure provided by the combustion of oil, to push the blades to provide power.

To put it simply, it is the process of replacing oil with the magic provided by the magic crystal, and replacing the oil with the fire magic array.

It should be said that with Xu Yi's rich knowledge of mechanical theory, this choice will be easier to design, and Xu Yi only needs to change some of the involvement in the internal combustion engine to a suitable magic array design.

As for the other option, like a magic fan, it uses the power generated by the wind magic itself to directly push the blades to complete the power output.

The advantage of this design is that Xu Yi can even directly use the wind magic array to drive the axle to rotate, which can simplify countless complex industrial designs in the engine.

The disadvantage is that compared to the fire-based magic array, the wind-based magic array is inferior in terms of explosive power and impact.

For example, that one is the fourth-level magic flame burst technique used on the magic stamping machine, and if the wind magic is used to achieve the same effect, then at least it must be level six or even more wind magic.

To sum up, there are ready-made examples to follow in the design scheme of the Fire Magic Array, and the power provided is more sufficient, while the design of the Wind Magic Array is simple and easy to design, but the power provided is slightly inferior.

What Xu Yi handed over to Camby and other dwarves for study this time was the design drawing of the latter wind power engine.

There is no relevant research foundation on the Sainz continent, and if you want to succeed in research, the first thing is naturally as simple as possible.

And for the design of the fire-based power engine, Xu Yi is not too sure.

After all, he is not a professional engine research expert, and he does not know the details.

And this kind of research is likely to bring some dangers, Xu Yi didn't want these precious dwarves to suffer any accidents now, so he decided to wait until the research of wind engines reached a certain foundation, and the dwarves had enough experience before considering fire power engines.

When meeting with President Pompeiy, Xu Yi once said that the horse in the carriage can actually be replaced, referring to the engine.

In the history of the earth, it was the emergence of the engine that gradually replaced the role of the horse, and gradually sealed the horse carriage in the dust.

And now on the Sainz continent, due to the appearance of Xu Yi and his strong discomfort with riding in a carriage, the appearance of the engine will be advanced, and the day when the carriage will withdraw from the stage of history will of course be advanced.

Xu also wants to research the production of tires and engines, the purpose is to get rid of the discomfort of being shaken off when riding in a carriage, and return to the comfort of riding a car on earth as soon as possible.

However, there is still a very important problem that needs to be solved in order to truly solve this problem.

Xu Yi left the R&D workshop of the magic machine tool and drove the carriage he hated to the Great Magician Tower of Camilla. (To be continued......)
