Walking into the magic machine tool research and development workshop, not surprisingly, I saw Botru and several other dwarves gathering around a strange-looking machine and talking about something.
Xu Yi walked over and listened to a few words, 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 - Explosion Array, which uses the powerful impact brought by Explosion to drive the module to complete stamping.
At first, there was no problem with this design.
However, after a period of application, the dwarves gradually discovered that the punching force of this magic stamping machine was still slightly insufficient, and the time interval between each burst and recovery of the bursting magic circle was long, severely limiting the stamping efficiency.
As the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce received more and more orders and the production tasks became heavier and heavier, this magic stamping machine tool seemed to be somewhat inefficient.
Although this problem can be solved by producing more magic stamping machines, this will require several more workers to operate the magic stamping machines, which indirectly increases costs.
So while the dwarves headed by Canby were researching new machine tools, they did not stop improving the old models of magic machine tools at all.
Regarding the improvement of this magic stamping machine, Xu Yi has already given a design drawing of a mechanically powered stamping machine with a new structure.
However, because Xu Yi only knew about the mechanical punch mechanism on Earth, switching to using the magic array as the driving force would require changing the overall structure, so the specific overall structure research still had to be completed by Canby and other dwarves.
Now Botru and others are studying the kinetic energy parameters of the old magic stamping machine, just to determine the stamping specifications of this old stamping machine. Then on this basis, the mechanical power scheme of the mechanical magic punch is designed.
This is a job that requires precise calculations. The dwarves did not have this habit before. This is a habit that I developed after working at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a long time and being constantly influenced by Xu Yi.
Seeing Xu Yi walking in, Botru and others stopped their discussion and handed Xu Yi some of the parameters and calculation results that had been determined for viewing.
Although Xu Yi has now minimized his participation in the research and development process, he is still the best in the minds of the dwarves in the Magic Machine Tool R&D Workshop and Evita and other magicians in the Magic Research Institute. Magical mechanical engineer.
Xu Yi carefully read the research notes of several dwarves, pointed out several misunderstandings, and then briefly explained the design direction to them. Then he didn't say much.
The reason why he gradually reduced his participation was to try to cultivate the research awareness and knowledge accumulation of these dwarves and Evita.
After Xu Yi finished discussing with Botru and others, Canby, who had been waiting aside for a long time, immediately asked: "President, when you come over today, are there any new research and development tasks for us to complete?"
Hearing Canby's question, the other dwarves were shocked and looked at Xu Yi with bright eyes.
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking that these dwarves were all workaholics.
"Yes, there is a new task this time, and it is a very difficult task. Do you want to take it?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
Canby curled his lips: "President, are you asking nonsense? We like difficult tasks the most. Tell me, what is it?"
"Okay. There are two tasks in total. The first one is relatively simple." Xu Yi took out two drawings and took out the first one and spread it out. "Yesterday I promised President Pompeii of Philson Carriage and Horse Racing Company that I would help him design and make a tire to replace the wheels under the carriage. Look, this is the schematic diagram."
The dwarves came over to take a look, and Botru said in astonishment: "President, the structure of this tire is so simple, what do you need us to develop and design? Just slightly modify the various existing magic machine tools."
"So I said the first task is relatively simple." Xu Yi spread out the second drawing. "As for the second task, it's much more difficult."
The dwarves looked down at the drawings again, and suddenly they all frowned.
The second design drawing showed a very strange-looking thing, roughly in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, with various belt transmission devices connected to it, as well as a series of dizzyingly complex mechanical models.
After just one glance, the dwarves determined that this thing was indeed very troublesome.
"President, what is this?" Botru couldn't help but ask.
Xu Yi chuckled: "This thing is awesome. If you can develop it, I can guarantee that the entire Sainz Continent will undergo huge changes!"
Canby curled his lips disdainfully: "President, I have stopped saying this countless times. You always say this every time you ask us to study new things."
"Then do you admit that what I said is the truth?" Xu Yi said with a smile.
Kanby was startled, and looked at each other with several other dwarves, and found that he could not refute Xu Yi.
The current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is changing Bangta City and several surrounding cities with one brand-new product after another.
Over time, it is foreseeable that it will affect the entire Sainz Continent and thus change the entire Sainz Continent.
"The thing I asked you to study this time is even more powerful than what I asked you to study before, and it can also change the entire continent." Xu Yi chuckled. "Because it has a very powerful name, called engine."

Researching engines is actually an extremely difficult task even on earth.
Because the engine has extremely high requirements in all aspects, it not only requires a very high theoretical foundation in the mechanical industry, but also requires a strong enough material foundation, both of which are indispensable.
However, engine is just a general term. In fact, if divided, it is also divided into automobile engine, ship engine, aircraft engine, aerospace engine, etc...
In this Sainz continent, which has a weak industrial foundation and even weaker science and technology, Xu Yi naturally cannot expect to be able to develop even aerospace engines in one step.
What he gave to Canby and other dwarves to research and design was actually not strictly an engine, but a crude engine model.
Engines on Earth are powered by various petroleum products, but on Sainz Continent, Xu Yi has never seen oil, nor has he found out where oil appears. Naturally, he cannot use the same engine design. .
Of course, the absence of oil does not mean that it is impossible to design engines. On the contrary, because Xu Yi is not limited to the design of internal combustion engines powered by oil, he can design engines more easily.
For example, engines on Earth use oil to provide internal combustion, actuate blades to provide rotation, and then transmit power through mechanical devices. The top priority in engine design is how to better utilize the pressure provided by oil combustion, and the design is very complicated.
On the continent of Sainz, due to the special nature of magic, Xu Yi's design was easier.
He even had two completely different options.
One option is to imitate the engine design on Earth and use the explosive power and impact provided by fire magic to replace the pressure provided by oil combustion to urge the blades to provide power.
To put it simply, the magic power provided by the magic crystal is used to replace the oil, and the fire magic circle replaces the burning process of the oil.
It should be said that with Xu Yi's rich knowledge of mechanical theory, this choice will be easier to design. Xu Yi only needs to change some aspects of the internal combustion engine unit to a suitable magic circle design.
As for the other option, like a magic fan, use 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 the countless complex industrial designs in the engine.
The disadvantage is that compared to the fire magic array, the wind magic array is inferior in explosive power and impact.
For example, that one is the fourth-level magic blasting technique used on the magic stamping machine. If wind magic is used to achieve the same effect, then it must be at least level six or even higher than level six wind magic.
To sum up, the design scheme of the fire magic array has ready-made examples to follow and provides more sufficient power, while the design of the wind magic array is simple and easy to design, but the power provided is slightly inferior.
What Xu Yi gave to Canby and other dwarves to study this time was the design drawing of the latter wind power engine.
There is no relevant research foundation on the Sainz continent. If you want to succeed in research, naturally the simpler the better at the beginning.
Moreover, Xu Yi was not too sure about the design of the fire-powered engine.
After all, he is not a professional engine research expert and does not understand the details.
This kind of research is likely to bring some dangers. Xu Yike didn't want these precious dwarves to suffer any accidents now, so he decided to wait until the research on wind engines reached a certain foundation and the dwarves had enough experience. Consider fire-powered engines.
When meeting with President Pompeii, Xu Yi once said that the horse in the carriage is actually replaceable, referring to the engine.
In the history of the earth, it was the emergence of engines that gradually replaced the role of horses, and gradually sealed things like horse carriages in history.
But now on the continent of Sainz, due to the appearance of Xu Yi and his strong discomfort with riding a carriage, the appearance of the engine will be advanced, and the date when the carriage will withdraw from the stage of history will certainly be advanced.
Xu Yi wants to research the production of tires and engines. The purpose is to get rid of the discomfort of having his butt shattered when riding in a carriage, and return to the comfort of riding in a car on earth as soon as possible.
However, if we want to truly solve this problem, there is still a very important problem that needs to be solved.
Xu Yi left the magic machine tool research and development workshop, drove the carriage he hated, and went straight to Camilla the Great Magician Tower. (To be continued...)
