——————
Standing in front of the volcano blacksmith shop, Xu Yi had swept away the pain from last night and became energetic again.
"Is Master Ranu here?" Xu Yi stepped into the door of the blacksmith shop and faced a wave of heat, which almost forced his words back into his throat.
"Keng—"
A huge sound of metal clashing came from the blacksmith shop, which seemed to replace the answer.
Xu Yi stepped in and saw a huge stove in the middle of the blacksmith shop with a roaring fire coming out. Next to the stove, a dwarf whose head only reached Xu Yi's chest and whose body was twice as thick as Xu Yi was standing. Holding a red iron tool in his left hand, he raised a hammer twice as big as Xu Yi's head in his right hand and struck it down hard.
"Keng—"
"Keng—"
…
As the hammer was raised and lowered again and again, the blacksmith shop echoed with the crisp golden sound, which had a unique charm.
Xu Yi watched the dwarf's skillful and dynamic tapping movements for a while, and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Heinze was indeed right. When it comes to forging skills, dwarves are the first choice on this continent.
When he saw Heinze again today, Xu Yi revealed to him the problems he was facing in a casual chat. Heinze said that he had no solution for the material problem, but for the process problem, he made a suggestion, that is, let Xu Yi come to him The most famous forging master in Bangta City is the dwarf Ranu in front of him.
After being reminded by Heinze, Xu Yicai remembered that this was the continent of Sainz that was different from the earth after all. There were not only humans, but also various races other than humans.
Among them, the dwarves are the blacksmith masters renowned throughout the continent, and are recognized as the race with the strongest forging skills.
However, the dwarves generally only live in groups in their own tribes and rarely go out, so there is only one dwarf blacksmith like Ranu in the entire city of Bangta. Xu Yi had never thought of it before.
After waiting patiently for a while, the dwarf Ranu finally completed the forging at hand, threw the formed red parts into the water tank, and turned to look at Xu Yi.
"Hey, just tell me what you have to say, I don't like beating around the bush." As he spoke, Ranu picked up a water bag on the table next to him, reached out and unscrewed the mouth of the bag, and suddenly a strong smell of alcohol rushed out.
Wine is a favorite of dwarves, and the stronger the better.
"Master Ranu, I'm here to ask you to help build something." Xu Yi quickly took out the blueprint from his arms and handed it over.
"What is it?" Ranu raised his neck and took a big sip of wine. He took the drawing and glanced at it. He snorted coldly and threw the drawing away. He said angrily: "Who told you that I, Ranu, would help others build it? How many broken nails are there?”
Xu Yi chuckled and picked up the drawings on the ground: "Master Ranu, although this thing is indeed a nail, to be precise, it should be called a screw."
"I don't care whether it's screws or not. Anyway, I, Lanu, never make such gadgets. You can go!" Lanu waved his thick arm and turned around, looking unwilling to talk to Xu Yi. Demeanor.
"Are you not going to do it? Or are you unable to do it?"
As soon as Xu Yi finished speaking, Ranu turned around like a whirlwind, pointed at Xu Yi and shouted loudly: "Human! I tell you, don't think that Ranu will fall for your stupid provocation! I won't do it if I tell you not to do it! "
"Oh, if we don't make screws, what about this one? This thing is not a small thing." Xu Yi took out another drawing.
Ranu glared at Xu Yi and took the drawing patiently.
This time, he didn't throw the drawing out immediately. Instead, he let out a sigh and read it carefully.
After a while, Ranu slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Yi with confusion on his face: "Hey, human boy, where did you get this drawing? Why have I never seen such a thing before?"
"I designed this myself, what do you think? Master Ranu, can you make it?" Xu Yi asked.
Ranu looked at the drawing, thought about it carefully, his face suddenly turned red, and he groaned: "You just came up with this thing, how could you possibly do it? Boy, you are here for fun on purpose. Mine? If so, get out of here!"
Xu Yi chuckled. What was drawn on this drawing was a large excavator. It would be very difficult to build one even on earth. It would be a pipe dream to make it manually.
But of course he was not here to amuse Ranu. Seeing that although Ranu was angry, his eyes still stayed on the drawing, he said sternly: "Master Ranu, you are the forging master. You should know that although the things on this drawing are now You can’t make it, but you should know that I didn’t just dream it up out of thin air, and this thing is the main reason why I came to you.”
Ranu snorted and her expression softened slightly.
In fact, he could also see that what Xu Yi said was true.
Although the things on that drawing look very whimsical, every detail on the drawing is marked, and there are even extremely detailed and precise specifications. It can be seen that it is not just a whim.
According to his inference, this kind of thing is not completely impossible to make, but it is just beyond the reach of the current level of forging on Sainz's continent.
"Okay, boy, what are you here for?" Ranu couldn't help but ask.
Xu Yi handed over the first drawing again.
"I'm not joking. I came to you this time to ask you to help build this screw."
This time Ranu did not get angry, but took the drawing and looked at it carefully.
Just now he just glanced at it and saw a small gadget on the drawing, so he threw it out. Now he looked carefully again and found that although this gadget called a screw was small, it was really not simple.
At first glance, this thing is almost the same as an ordinary nail, but if you look carefully, you will find that it is also a nail. This screw is surrounded by circles of delicate threads, and the spacing is not bad at all. Extending all the way, it looks extremely Exquisite and complex, far from being comparable to ordinary smooth iron nails.
Ranu looked at it for a while and was a little puzzled: "Hey, boy, why did you make such a complicated pattern on a nail? Is it just to look good?"
"Of course not." Xu Yi smiled and took out another drawing and handed it to Ranu.
This drawing is actually one of the design drawings of the second version of the variable speed magic fan, but it only shows part of the fan housing interface, which includes the nut and the screw port of the fan housing.
Ranu took the drawing and looked at it for a while, and immediately saw the mystery.
"So that's what happened! This is great! If there is this hole, you only need to turn this screw down to fix it. Even if you want to take it out, it is very convenient. Hey, boy, the guy who came up with this thing is simply What a genius!”
As a forging master, Ranu could tell at a glance how much the design of this screw would affect the forging process.
At first he looked at this small screw with disdain, but after seeing the corresponding nut and screw mouth, his view of screws suddenly changed.
When he looked up and saw the smile on Xu Yi's face, Ranu was stunned: "You couldn't have imagined this thing, right?"
"It's me." Xu Yi admitted unceremoniously. "How about it? Master Ranu, are you willing to forge screws now?"
Ranu looked at the drawing again and nodded: "For the sake of such a genius' creativity, I will make an exception and help you. Tell me, how many screws do you need me to help you create?"
Xu Yi smiled and stretched out a finger.
"It can't be one, right? So ten? Well... I have to make a mold first, which will take about a week." Master Lanu pondered.
"More than ten." Xu Yi smiled and shook his head.
"Is that a hundred? There's not much difference there. As long as the mold comes out and there's not much difference between a hundred and ten, then it counts as ten days."
"Haha, Master Ranu, you are wrong, it is not a hundred, but a hundred thousand."
"One hundred thousand?!" Master Ranu widened his already big eyes and stared at Xu Yi, wishing he could spit on Xu Yi's face. "I just thought you were serious about asking me for help, but you still came to entertain me! One hundred thousand! Do you want me to help you get these damn screws for the rest of your life?"
Xu Yi touched his face and took out another drawing from his arms without changing his smile.
"It is of course a waste for a forging master like you to waste his whole life on small things like screws. In fact, I came to you this time to ask you to help me build this magic tooth grinding machine."
"Magic teeth grinding machine? What the hell is this?"
Ranu took the drawing in confusion, glanced at it, and his expression immediately became solemn.
"This... this thing looks pretty good..."
"How about it? Are you sure you can make it?"
Ranu did not express his attitude immediately this time. Instead, he stared at the drawings for a long time. After thinking for a while, he slowly replied: "I have to study it. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in a while. By the way, boy." , What is this thing used for?”
Xu Yi pointed to the drawing of the screws: "It's just for the production of screws."
"Oh? No wonder it's like this." Ranu nodded suddenly.
"Master Lanu, if possible, I hope you can make this machine as soon as possible. Of course, I will definitely satisfy you in terms of remuneration."
Ranu waved his arm casually: "We'll talk about the remuneration later. First tell me what's going on with this thing? For such a complicated thing, many of the marks on your drawing are unclear. What should I do? Do it for you?"
Xu Yi couldn't help but snicker, thinking that this magic tooth-grinding machine was specially modified by him according to the situation on the Sainz continent. If the tooth-grinding machine on the earth was moved here intact, I'm afraid you would be famous. The dwarf forging masters in Sainz Continent will definitely be dazzled by this.
