Chapter 25: Experimental Machines

In the blink of an eye, the time has entered August, and it has entered the height of summer.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and as soon as the sun comes out, the production workshop of the magic fan is like a steamer, and in a short time, all the thirty students who are buried in work will be sweating profusely.

Even though there is a magic fan in every corner of the workshop, it still doesn't make people feel cool.

"Vice President, can you apply to the Lord Elder to set up a large frost circle here?" Orin wiped the dense beads of sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but complain to Heinze on the side.

He was born in an aristocratic family, and his family was well-off since he was a child, so he has never suffered this kind of hardship.

"Orin, you are really a child of a noble family. Do you know how much more than one large frost circle costs?" Before Heinze could answer, a student next to him had already retorted with a cold snort. "We can only get a few gold coins a month, even if all thirty people add up, it is barely enough for the monthly consumption of the large frost array, do you think the elder will arrange it for us?"

"I know that, but I have to work hard. Ou Lin didn't mind this classmate's slightly mocking tone, since the last time he received Xu Yi's special reward for improving the magic array, Ou Lin had been in a very happy mood, and his mind had become broader.

"Ahem...... Don't worry, I'll report this to the president and try my best to convince him to install a large frost circle. I believe that the president will definitely find a way to solve it when he sees everyone working so hard. Seeing everyone's sweaty appearance, Heinze hurriedly comforted.

Now, because of the hot sale of magic fans, the net income of this magic fan factory almost every day is more than hundreds of gold coins, so if you calculate it, it is not unacceptable to arrange a large frost circle in this workshop.

After all, these students are at the heart of the production of magic fans, and now that the weather is too hot, it has severely affected their work efficiency, and as the director of this factory, Heinze has to take this issue into account.

The students didn't show much excitement at Heinze's answer, and even Orin just smiled and shook his head in disbelief.

The student was right when he said just now, the cost of arranging a large frost circle was too high, and from a businessman's point of view, he would never lightly arrange this thing for his workers.

At least they had never heard of the Chamber of Commerce setting up such extravagant things for their workshops.

Of course, I want to think so, but when I saw Xu Yi appear in the factory, the students still had a glimmer of hope.

However, Xu Yi's answer immediately dashed their hope.

"Arrange a large frost circle? That's not good, it's too wasteful, it's completely unnecessary. Xu Yi shook his head and replied in the affirmative.

The students looked at each other, sighed in unison, and worked in a muffled voice.

"Elder, I always thought you were different from other merchants, but now it seems that there is no difference. Orin was so disappointed that he couldn't help but complain.

Xu Yi smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't be so anxious and disappointed, although I said that it was too wasteful to set up a large frost array, I didn't say that I wouldn't help you solve this problem." ”

The students looked curiously at Xu Yi again, thinking that the weather is so hot, how can you solve this problem if you don't arrange a large frost array?

Xu Yi pointed to a rectangular iron box he had just brought, motioned for Heinze to work with him, installed the iron box on a wall in the workshop, and then took out a magic crystal and stuffed it into the groove under the iron box.

Seeing Xu Yi's movements, the students' eyes lit up.

Could it be that this is a new magic machine developed by Xu Yi?

"What is this, Lord Elder?" Orin couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, you'll find out later. After Xu Yi was ready, he pressed the place that represented the switch under the strange iron box.

"Ding-"

After a soft sound, a faint milky white light lit up in the iron box, and then a pale cyan light also lit up, and then a whining sound was heard in the iron box.

There were a few strange openings under the iron box, and a thin strip of cloth hung from the opening, and at first everyone did not understand the purpose of this thing, but after a while, everyone found that the strip of cloth began to swing, apparently a wind was blowing out of the opening.

Seeing this, the students were disappointed again.

"Grown, isn't this just a magic fan that has changed, what's the use?"

"yes, we've got a couple of magic fans around us, but it's not much cooler just by blowing them. ”

"Well, you'd better set up a large frost circle for us, or we'll die of heat sooner or later. ”

......

Xu Yi smiled and didn't explain.

After a moment, Heinze and the students suddenly felt something strange.

"What's not right, why is the wind so cool?"

"yes, that's weird. It's so hot, how can the wind from this thing be cold?"

"Really, it's so cool! It's so cool! It's so much more comfortable!"

"Haha, it's so comfortable! This thing is almost comparable to a large frost circle!"

......

After enjoying the cool breeze blowing from this weird iron box for a while, the students couldn't help but ask Xu Yi about the curiosity in their hearts.

"What the hell is this, Lord?"

"yes, why is the wind blowing so cool?"

"It would be nice if all the magic fans were like this. You don't need to set up any large frost circles at all. ”

"What is this thing...... Xu Yi lengthened his voice, and after whetting the students' appetites, he sold it. "I won't tell you for the time being. ”

"Aren't you, Lord, are you kidding us?"

"That's it, why are you deliberately trying to whet our appetite, at least tell us what is the name of this thing?"

"Hey, it's not that I don't want to sue you, but this thing hasn't been formed yet, this is just the first testing machine I developed, and now I'm here for you to use first, one is to help you improve the working environment, and the other is to give you the same task, which is to observe the operation of this magic machine at any time, no matter what problems or changes occur in it, you must record it. I need to collect the actual number of its runs, and then make some targeted improvements, understand?"

"Well, we're sure we'll get the job done!"

"Don't worry, Lord, it's cooled me so much, I'm sure I'll treat it as a baby!"

"No, no, no, I'm not asking you to use it like a baby, but to toss it as much as you can. Because what I need is a reaction to all kinds of special situations in which to test its performance. As for the time, it will be temporarily set at three days, and after three days, I will collect and sort out your numbers. If it's a good thing, this thing will go into mass production, and I'll be able to install a few more of them here to make sure you don't feel hot. ”

"That's great!"

"You're such a good person, Lord!"

"No, it's a good boss!"

......

Seeing the students cheering, Xu Yi smiled, turned his head to Heince and whispered: "Heinze, I'm going to go out for a long time these days, and I'm going to bother you about things here." ”

"Where are you going?" asked Heinze, stunned.

Xu Yi's gaze drifted farther to the west: "I'm going to go to the dwarven tribe from Master Lanu." Master Lanu said that if you go fast, you can get there in one day, so I expect three days. However, if something delays, you still have to take care of the things here, and you have to go to the Camilla Magic Tower for me, inform the Grand Magician Camilla, and help me take two more days off. ”

Heinze asked suspiciously, "What are you doing all of a sudden going to the dwarf tribe?"

"Remember what I told you last time? I have never been very satisfied with the craftsmanship of the blacksmiths in Bonta City, and the only one who is qualified is Master Lanu, but Master Lanu is only one, and he cannot meet my needs at all. I thought about it for a while, so I discussed it with Master Lanu and decided to go to the dwarven tribe where he came from. If I can recruit some dwarven craftsmen from the dwarven tribe, it will be of great help to my future plans. ”

"Although the craftsmanship of the dwarven craftsmen is usually better than that of the human craftsmen, you don't have to be so demanding, right? You see that the shells of these magic fans are all made by human craftsmen in the city, and I don't think there is a problem at all. ”

"Hehe, Heinze, it's not that I'm demanding, it's that your standards are too low. Haven't you noticed that although these fan housings look great, there are always some slight differences in the local area? Don't underestimate these differences, I can't see them now, but in the future, when I want to move this factory to an assembly line, it's a small difference that can be fatal. ”

"Assembly line operation?" Although Heinze was no longer surprised by the few new terms that popped up from time to time in Xu Yi's mouth, he was still stunned. "What is this?"

"When the conditions are ripe, I will explain to you, you just need to be in a hurry, that is, all production must be strictly standardized, unified standards, and there must be no ambiguity. ”

Seeing that Xu Yi said solemnly, Heinze could only nod his head in response.

"Alright, I'm going to go, and hopefully when I return, I'll be able to bring back a group of dwarven craftsmen. ”
