In the blink of an eye, time has entered August and the height of summer.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. As soon as the sun comes out, the magic fan production workshop is like a steamer. In a short time, all the thirty students who are immersed in their work are sweating profusely.
Even if a magic fan is placed in every corner of the workshop and keeps fanning, it still doesn't make people feel cool.
"Vice President, can you apply to the President to arrange a large frost circle here?" Olin wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help complaining to Heinze who was standing aside. .
He was born into a noble family and had a good family background since childhood, but he had never experienced such hardship.
"Olin, 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 snorted and retorted. "We can only get a few gold coins a month. Even if all thirty of us add up, we can barely cover the monthly consumption of the large frost array. Do you think the president will arrange it for us?"
"I know this, but you have to work hard." Ou Lin didn't mind the slightly mocking tone of this classmate. Since he received Xu Yi's special reward for improving the magic circle last time, Ou Lin has been in a good mood. It was very pleasant and my mind became broader.
"Ahem... Don't worry, everyone. I will report this matter to the president later and try my best to persuade him to install a large frost circle. I believe that the president will find a way to solve it when he sees how hard everyone is working." Seeing everyone sweating profusely, Heinze quickly comforted them.
Now, due to the hot sales of magic fans, the net income of this magic fan factory exceeds hundreds of gold coins almost every day. If you calculate it this way, it is not unacceptable to install a large frost array in this workshop.
After all, these students are the core of the production of magic fans. Now the weather is too hot, which has seriously affected their work efficiency. As the director of this factory, Heinze has to take this issue into consideration.
Regarding Heinze's answer, the students did not show much excitement. Even Olin just laughed and shook his head as if he didn't believe it.
The classmate just now was right. The cost of setting up a large frost circle was too high. From a businessman's point of view, he would never give it to his workers easily.
At least they had never heard of the chamber of commerce furnishing its workshop with such extravagant things.
Of course, Xianggui thought so, but when they saw Xu Yi appearing in the factory, the students still had a glimmer of hope.
But Xu Yi's answer immediately dashed their hope.
"Deploy a large frost array? That's not possible. It's too wasteful and completely unnecessary." Xu Yi shook his head and answered with certainty.
The students looked at each other, sighed in unison, and worked in silence.
"President, I always thought you were different from other businessmen, but now it seems there is no difference." Ou Lin was disappointed and couldn't help complaining.
Xu Yi laughed, waved his hand and said, "Don't be so anxious and disappointed. Although I said that setting up a large frost array is too wasteful, I didn't say that I wouldn't help you solve this problem."
The students looked at Xu Yi curiously, 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 at a rectangular iron box he had just brought and motioned to Heinze to work with him to install the iron box on a wall of the workshop. Then he casually took out a piece of magic crystal and stuffed it into the iron box. in the groove below.
Seeing Xu Yi's actions, the students' eyes lit up.
Could it be that this is a new magical machine developed by Xu Yi
"President, what is this?" Orin couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, you will know later." After Xu Yi was ready, he pressed the switch under the strange iron box.
"Ding-"
After a soft sound, a faint milky white light first lit up in the iron box, and then a light cyan light also lit up, and then a whining sound was heard from the iron box.
There were several weird openings under the iron box, and there was a thin strip of cloth hanging in the opening. At first, everyone didn't understand the purpose of this thing, but after a while, everyone found that the strip started to swing. , apparently there was wind blowing out of the opening.
Seeing this situation, the students were disappointed again.
"President, isn't this just a magic fan that has changed its appearance? What's the use of it?"
"Yes, there are several magic fans around us, but just blowing the fans won't make us cool much."
"That's right, you should arrange a large frost circle for us, otherwise we will be heated to death sooner or later."
…
Xu Yi smiled and didn't explain.
After a while, Heinze and the students suddenly felt something strange.
"Huh? No, why is the wind so cool?"
"Yeah, it's so strange. It's obviously so hot, how can the wind blown by this thing be cold?"
"Really, it's so cool! Great! It feels much more comfortable now!"
"Haha, it's so comfortable! This thing is almost as good as a large frost array!"
…
After the students enjoyed the cool breeze blowing from this weird iron box for a while, they couldn't help but asked Xu Yi about it out of curiosity.
"President, what on earth is this?"
"Yeah, why is the wind it blows so cool?"
"It would be great if all magic fans were like this. We wouldn't need to set up any large frost formations at all."
"What about this thing..." Xu Yi lengthened his voice, whetting the appetites of the students, but gave it up. "I won't tell you yet."
"Isn't it? President, are you kidding us?"
"That's right, why are you trying to interest us? At least tell us what the name of this thing is?"
"Hey, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but this thing hasn't actually been completed yet. This is just the first test machine I developed. Now I get it here for you to use first. First, to help you improve the working environment. , the second is to give you the usual task, which is to observe the operation of this magic machine at any time, and record any problems or changes it has. I need to collect its actual operation data, and then do something targeted. Some improvements, got it?”
"That's it, we promise to complete the mission!"
"Yes! Don't worry, President, it cools me down so much, I will definitely keep it as a treasure!"
"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 its response to various special situations to test its various performances. The time is temporarily set at three days. After three days, I will collect and organize your data. If everything goes well, this thing will then enter mass production, and then I will be able to install it for you here. A few, so you won’t feel hot.”
"That's great!"
"President, you are such a good person!"
"No, it's a good boss!"
…
Seeing the students cheering for joy, Xu Yi smiled, turned to Heinze and whispered: "Heinze, I'm going on a long trip in the next few days, so I'll have to worry about things here."
"Travelling? Where to go?" Heinze asked in astonishment.
Xu Yi's eyes drifted further to the west: "I want to go to the dwarf tribe where Master Ranu came from. Master Ranu said that if you walk fast, you can get there in one day, so I estimate it will take three days. But if something happens I have been delayed by something. You still have to take care of everything here. In addition, you have to go to Camilla Magic Tower for me and inform the great magician Camilla to ask for two more days off for me. "
Heinze asked in confusion: "Why are you going to the dwarf tribe all of a sudden?"
"Remember what I told you last time? I have never been very satisfied with the craftsmanship of the blacksmiths in Bangta City. The only qualified one is Master Ranu, but there is only one Master Ranu, and I can't be satisfied at all. My needs. I thought about it seriously, and simply discussed it with Master Lanu, and decided to go to the dwarf tribe where he came from. If I can recruit some dwarf craftsmen from the dwarf tribe, it would be better for my future plans. It helped a lot.”
"Although the craftsmanship of dwarf craftsmen is usually better than that of human craftsmen, you don't have to be so demanding, right? You see, the shells of these magic fans are all made by human craftsmen in the city. I don't see any problem at all."
"Haha, Heinze, it's not that I'm being harsh, but that your standards are too low. Haven't you noticed that although these fan casings all look good, there are always some slight differences in local areas? This As a result, the appearance of every magic fan we produce will have large or small differences. Don't underestimate these differences. You can't see them now, but in the future when I want to advance this factory to assembly line operations, this will happen. A small difference can be fatal.”
"Assembly line operation?" Although Heinze was no longer surprised by the new terms that popped out of Xu Yi's mouth from time to time, he was still stunned. "What is this?"
"I will explain this to you when the conditions are ripe. All you need to do is hurry up. That is, all production must be strictly standardized and standardized. There must be no ambiguity."
Seeing that Xu Yi said it solemnly, Heinze could only nod in agreement.
"Okay, I'll set off now. I hope I can bring back a group of dwarf craftsmen when I come back."
