"Is there only this one, I remember we designed four schemes." Colin drew everyone's attention back to the machine in front of him.

"There are indeed four, according to your name, this one is a lathe, and the other three are boring machines, milling machines, planers, and placed in other rooms." After what had just happened, Wald said more and more respectfully.

In fact, Colin doesn't know much about machine tools, and he knows a main function and general principle, according to the knowledge reserve of the previous life, it is simply not enough to manufacture these multi-functional processing equipment, but the magic engineering itself in this world is not weak, but in terms of power and precision, it cannot be compared with the electricity and engine in the previous life.

With the magic device, the most difficult problem is solved.

Therefore, although these machine tools are similar to the equipment on the earth in terms of function and appearance, whether the internal structure is the same, Colin is not clear, but this is not important, as long as it can be used.

Wald stepped forward and introduced: "Everything else is relatively smooth, but it took some time to choose the material of the cutting parts such as drills and reamers, and finally we chose to use cobalt and iron alloys, but it still did not achieve the desired effect, and it is estimated that it will be replaced more frequently in the future." ”

High-speed steel cannot be made for the time being, but in cemented carbide, cobalt alloy is a unique material in this world, the advantage is that it is not difficult to obtain, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to forge, but after having a forging machine, the efficiency is also greatly improved.

"Have you done a test run?" He asked.

"Not only did they run it, but they also used the parts they made to make a finished product." Wald smiled, "I wanted to report to you a week ago, but Miss Tessa said that you were in retreat and meditating, so I didn't dare to disturb." ”

"What finished product?" Colin couldn't help but wonder if the rhetoric of retreat meditation was an excuse that he and his senior sister had discussed in advance.

"It's also from your previous manuscript."

As Wald spoke, he was asked to pull out a rectangular object with an iron shell and a glass cover.

Colin looked at Wald with some surprise.

This is exactly what a mechanical clock is.

The three hands, of varying lengths, rotate under the action of the clockwork, making a regular clicking sound.

In general, the manufacture is not very good, the structure and appearance are designed to be as simple as possible, apparently in order to make a finished product as quickly as possible, without paying attention to more details.

But in any case, this clockwork mechanical clock can indeed run. And after the experiment, it was only about eight minutes a day different from the high-end magic timer.

This was an unacceptable error in a previous life, but as the world's first mechanical clock, and the first experimental work of the first machine tool, it is already very valuable.

"Very good."

In just three words, it is impossible to express Colin's mood at this time.

He knew better than anyone what it meant.

The alchemy workshop was not without products before, farm tools, kitchen knives, scissors, including the shell of the sound machine, etc., have been put into the assembly line mode, and even the automatic arrow machine has a simple automation concept.

However, the mechanical clock in front of you is a real industrial product.

Nearly three years after coming to Xiaya, the road to the industrialization of magic that he envisioned finally took the first step.

It's embarrassing to think about.

"Your Excellency, look at this machine...... Clock, what to do? ”

"Just hang it in the main hall of the alchemy workshop."

"Yes."

"The accuracy needs to be improved, but the appearance is like this, and there is no need to modify it."

"I see."

Wald instantly understood what the lord meant.

This mechanical clock is a symbol of the alchemy workshop, and when you look at it in the future, this rough appearance only reinforces its symbolism.

……

……

Dadamir.

The capital city of gold.

Victor led his horse and walked towards the city gate with heavy steps.

glanced at his old and shabby, and then recalled the gorgeous and majestic Thunder City, which was also a city gate, and the gap was a little too big.

Look behind him, he is a prince in a dignified manner, and he only brought a dozen retinues with him when he went out to the country, which is not as good as a rich businessman.

He had never felt like this before, although Dadamir was a small country and a widow, his life had always been quite good, and compared with the same small countries around him, Dadamir, who had mines and fisheries, still had a slight advantage, especially compared to Xiaya, who was barren and deeply harmed by the orcs next door, his own house was simply a paradise.

However, this sense of superiority has been lost since last year.

Just a few small wars, coupled with two years of drought, have brought the country to the brink of collapse.

The ability of a small country to resist risks is really poor, especially after going to Thunder City and seeing such a magnificent city, such an idea becomes clearer and clearer.

Outside the city gates.

Anissa had already led the men to wait there, and when she saw her brother finally arrive, she trotted up to meet her.

"Brother, welcome home."

The brother and sister embraced each other warmly.

"Is Father alright?" Victor felt that his question was simply superfluous.

In this situation of Dadamir, how could the father who was the king be good.

However, he listened to his sister Anissa's relaxed tone: "Father is very good, and he can eat again recently." ”

Victor thought that his sister was just comforting him, and didn't think much of it.

The brother and sister walked side by side into the city gates.

The prince and princess passed by, and if they wanted to put it in Thunder City, it would be necessary to clear the streets, and if it was in Oshik, it would have to be covered with flowers, but in Dadamir, the people only bowed down when the two of them passed by, and then immediately got up and did their own thing.

There were no guards to open the way, no grand ceremony, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who had returned from afar, walked with his sister to the king's castle.

"Brother, is the matter of buying food still going well?"

"I met with the Duke of Violet, and under his introduction, I met His Majesty King Iran IV, and I told him about Dadamir's difficulties, and His Majesty and the Duke said they would help."

"That's good."

"It's a pity that the road is long, and Tulun also needs time to collect grain from all over the country, so I'm afraid it won't be timely."

"Actually......"

As soon as Anisha was about to speak, she heard her brother interrupt:

"By the way, I must report to my father immediately, and when Tulun has collected enough food, we had better send someone to fetch it ourselves, so that there will be no delay."

"Brother......

"In addition, we still need to temporarily withdraw from the Emerald Lake, the consumption of the war is too great."

"The ......"

"Also, the only grain left over is best supplied to the mine first, and it is really not a good idea for my father to go to the mountains to pick up chestnuts to eat." Victor talked for a long time before finally asking:

"Anissa, what do you want to say?"

Anisha was interrupted several times, not knowing how to speak.

However, Victor himself seems to have sensed that something is wrong.

The atmosphere in the Golden City was a little different from when he left, when the streets were lifeless, most of the people under the famine hid in their homes to reduce consumption, and the few who walked on the road were slow and lifeless.

However, now, there are more people walking, and the vendors inside have also returned here, and the cries of selling have come and gone, although it has not fully recovered to its former state, but it is clear that the vitality of the Golden City is slowly recovering.

He looked back with some surprise: "Anissa, what's going on?" ”

Anissa smiled and said, "We have food." ”
