"This bearing is very interesting!"

Faun Molten looked at the roller bearing drawings provided by Xia Lin, combined with the gearbox that Xia Lin had just shown, and quickly understood the purpose of the bearing.

"It's very interesting, but how can such a small round bead be forged? Stinky boy, you're not fooling us, are you? ”

Master Holguin's temper came and went quickly, and he returned to his usual appearance as soon as he was interrupted by Xia Lin, he looked at the ball bearing drawings he had at hand, and looked at Xia Lin with suspicion on his face.

"Of course not, the ball bearings in Master Holguin's hands can't be forged now, but the roller bearings in Master Faun's hands are still relatively easy!"

Xia Lin explained the difference in the drawings in the hands of the two.

"Huh? It turned out to be two kinds of bearings? ”

Master Faun and Master Holguin looked at each other and turned their heads in tacit agreement, as if they did not want to share the drawings in their hands with each other.

"I think you're underestimating us dwarves, aren't you just rubbing a round bead? Look at me Holguin forged to open your eyes! ”

Hearing that Xia Lin had just said that ball bearings were much more difficult than roller bearings, Master Holguin said disdainfully, shoved the drawings into his arms, took a sip of ale, and ordered four dwarven craftsmen to walk with him to the furnace.

"Round beads? That's not good, Lord Charlin, leave this roller bearing to me! I don't think Holguin guy will be able to figure out a ball bearing in his life! ”

Master Faun knew the form of the ball bearing as soon as he heard the balls, which were nothing more than replacing the metal cylinders on his drawings with metal balls with less resistance.

He snorted twice, waved his hand confidently, and pulled away four of the remaining five dwarf masters, and finally only one dwarf master was left looking at Xia Lin with a blank eye, and he seemed to have nothing to do after being picked out.

"Master, help me make a carpentry lathe, sawing machine, milling machine, planer, and drilling machine! Here are the drawings I made, and when the waterwheel and their bearings are ready, we can test it! ”

Seeing the pitiful appearance of this dwarf master, Xia Lin shook his head a little amusedly, and took out a stack of drawings and handed them to the dwarf master, asking him to help him make these machine tool bodies.

In fact, these machine tools are not difficult to process, and the most critical thing is actually the manufacturing of machined parts such as cutter heads and grinding wheels.

The grinding wheel can be sintered with diatomaceous earth, sand, and corundum, which is no different from fired pottery, but the cutter head is different.

As one of the core components of the machine tool, the poor quality of the cutter head means that the machining capacity of the machine tool does not meet the requirements, and at the same time, the cutter head needs to be replaced frequently in the work, and the machining accuracy will also be greatly affected.

In order to solve the problem of the cutter heads, Xia Lin reluctantly bought half a pound of adamantite powder, preparing to burn them into a pure gold liquid and cast them into the cutter heads of several lathes.

However, when Xia Lin was officially operating, he found that the pure gold powder did not even show the slightest sign of melting in the furnace designed by himself to reach a temperature of at least 1200 °C.

Obviously, the properties of the demonic metal of Adamantite and the gold that was born from it have undergone earth-shaking changes, at least the hardness, melting point, and demonic conductivity have been greatly improved.

Now he was dumbfounded, could it be that he wanted to use the 100 steels of the blacksmith shop to knock out the knife head? Not to mention the cumbersome process of making the cutter bit in this way, durability is also a big problem!

At that time, the cutter head will have to be replaced at two ends in three days, and I am afraid that the available processing machine of the machine tool has not been as long as the dwarf masters have knocked the cutter head, and the cost performance is inevitably too low!

Fortunately, he remembered that the princess had said that Master Holguin had mastered the art of working fine gold, so he once again found Master Holguin's door.

"Stinky boy, are you kidding? You just use a gadget like fine gold processing? ”

Master Holguin stayed in front of the furnace all day in order to develop the balls for bearings, his eyes were red, and he was angry when he heard Xia Lin's request.

"Master Holguin, how can you say it's a gadget? Shouldn't the blacksmith be most interested in his own tools? With the adamantite bit, as soon as the machine tool is started, you can handle the steel as you want, isn't this the best use of adamantite? ”

Xia Lin didn't expect that Master Holguin actually looked down on his carpentry machines, thinking that they were not worthy of 94 gold lunt a pound of pure gold, and persuaded.

"This ...... Forget it, what you said is also a bit reasonable, but the cost of processing fine gold is not low, you give me 50 gold lunt, and I will cast all these cutter heads you want! ”

When Master Holguin heard Xia Lin's words, his anger also subsided, saying that machine tools are indeed the tools of blacksmiths, and it is really not a loss to use pure gold on his own tools, so he swallowed his hometown dialect back into his stomach and stretched out his hand to Xia Lin to ask for money.

"Shhh So expensive?! ”

Charling was taken aback by the offer made by Master Holguin.

"What is this expensive? To process pure gold, it is necessary to use the rune circle that has been passed down from generation to generation by our Copperbeard Clan, and to use some magic materials to concoct an alchemy potion, and neither of these two costs is cheap.

Otherwise, why do you think Adamantite equipment is so expensive? I still give you a lot of discounts for 50 gold lundes! Don't forget it, I'm too troublesome! ”

Master Holguin withdrew his hand in frustration, and was ready to slip back to the furnace to continue his ball forging, which had not yet seen the light of day.

"Okay! Then build! ”

Xia Lin knew that pure gold had the property of being extremely difficult to wear, and he thought that those cutter heads should still be useful after the woodworking machine was upgraded, so after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and decided to pay this price.

Master Holguin may have also discovered that it is basically impossible to forge a round and hard metal bead with the current technical means, and with this additional commission from Xia Lin, he can still use this as a reason not to admit the results of the competition at that time.

Therefore, he received Xia Lin's materials and processing fees, gave a few words of advice to his four dwarven masters, and hurried back to the Forge Valley.

A day later, Master Faun Molten managed to come out with the steel bearings and take the first place in the contest against Master Holguin.

To Xia Lin's surprise, Master Faun did not use the furnace he designed, but used an ancient rune plate inherited from their dwarven clan to provide a high temperature of more than 1500°C, and directly smelted the hundred smelted steel into molten steel.

The application of magic embodied in this in industry made Xia Lin very concerned.

After being cheeky and begging, Xia Lin obtained Master Faun's rune plate, and found that he couldn't understand the runes on it except for the flame runes that made up the heating spell and the flame arrow.

In fact, Xia Lin has long thought about combining magic and science to create a new magic industry, but he has a good understanding of industry now, and the study of magic can only be said to be superficial.

Not to mention creating spells for the difficulties encountered in industrialization, he is not even proficient in the spells he has mastered.

In order to achieve the goal of combining magic and science, he had to complete at least one round of his research project.

However, the people of this world, living in the supernatural power of magic, have obviously developed many ways to use the power of magic.

For example, the shimmer rune plate used by the nobles in their castle manor for lighting, the frost rune plate used for refrigeration, etc., are the most basic life applications of magic.

The dwarves have also mastered the technology of using magic to obtain high temperatures to process metal, and it is believed that there are still many magic in other places that have been applied to life, but Xia Lin's current vision is too narrow to be seen for the time being.

At the same time, after seeing this practical example of magic in industry, Xia Lin also got a little inspiration.

It is true that his magic level is low, but the magic level does not determine everything, such as the arc and electric shock spells, which are also low-ring spells of the plastic energy system, and it seems that they have great potential for application in industry.

However, at present, Xia Lin does not have the spare time and energy to think about this matter, so he temporarily put down the application of this arc technique in industry.

After a few more days, Master Holguin finally processed the pure gold cutter bits that Xia Lin needed and sent them back to the construction site, and half a pound of adamantite powder naturally could not be used to make a single bit.

Xia Lin gave a drawing, let Master Holguin process four kinds of tools: turning tools, milling cutters, drills, and taps, each tool is less than 2cm in length, the front is large and the back is small, and the small rod behind can be embedded in the steel blade to be fixed on the machine tool.

This is troublesome, but it can increase the service life and reduce the consumption of Adamantite Gold.

And even by such means, a pure gold knife tip of such a specification only got a total of four.

Spread evenly on Xia Lin's machine tools, it is equivalent to the cost of each machine tool reaching almost 27 gold lundes, which is almost equivalent to the ransom cost of 2 Xia Lin.
