As soon as he opened the door of the private laboratory, he saw the great magician Camilla holding two steel plates about ten centimeters long, five centimeters wide and about one centimeter thick in her left hand. She put the two steel plates together. In his right hand, he held a strange-looking small tool with a thin probe, which was slowly moving from top to bottom along the gap between the two steel plates.
It's not clear what Camilla the Great Magician is doing from the gate, but if you turn to the experimental table and look at it from the front, you will find that as the small tool probe in the hand of Camilla the Great Magician moves, the two The steel around the joints between the two steel plates also melted rapidly.
After the probe was moved away, the molten steel quickly re-condensed. After the probe made a circle from the top to the bottom of the gap, the two steel plates were tightly connected together.
Xu Yi took the two steel plates from the hands of the great magician Camilla, picked up one corner and tilted them, and found that the two steel plates were indeed tightly connected, and there would be no shaking at all due to his movement, just like the original Just together.
"Grandpa, you are really amazing. You have made another technological breakthrough in such a short period of time. Now it seems that this magic welding technology has been completed, right?" Xu Yi praised.
The great magician Camilla sighed, shook her head, took the connected steel plates from Xu Yi's hand, and then broke them apart with both hands.
"Snapped"
There was a crisp sound, and the two steel plates that seemed to be closely connected were immediately separated.
Archmage Camilla looked at the side of the connection seam and said to him: "Did you see that the melted layer can only penetrate to a depth of no more than three millimeters. There is no way to completely weld the two steel plates together. Go. So this welding technology is not actually forming at all.”
Xu also took out two steel plates. He did the docking again, looked around, and laughed dumbly: "Grandpa, I didn't expect that your research on this technology would progress so fast, so I forgot to remind you. If you want to successfully weld these two steel plates, you only need to rely on this Two steel plates by themselves are not enough. It is too difficult to melt and weld the two steel plates together. You need to use an additional welding wire to meet the requirements. "
"Welding wire?"
"Well..." Xu Yi looked around. He reconstructed a thin steel bar from the scrap steel plates on the floor of the laboratory and handed it to the great magician Camilla. "Try using this as a welding wire and let it melt into the welding seam. See what the effect is?"
Camilla the Great Magician found the thin steel wire. After thinking about it carefully for a while, she placed the two steel plates on the table again, side by side. Then she held the thin steel bar in her left hand and pointed it at the gap between the two steel plates. She held it in her right hand. The probe of that small tool is placed at the contact point between the thin steel bar and the gap between the two steel plates.
The probe once again lit up with a deep yellow light, and the thin steel bars instantly melted into molten steel. It goes deep into the gap between the two steel plates, and then merges with the melted molten steel around the gap between the two steel plates.
Archmage Camilla carefully manipulated the thin steel rod and the probe to move downward slowly. After the thin steel bars were completely consumed, only about two-thirds of the two steel plates were welded, and there was still a part left that could not be welded successfully.
Xu Yi quickly handed over another thin steel bar that he had found in advance. After the great magician Camilla took it, he obviously sped up his movements slightly and completely welded the remaining one-third.
After stopping what he was doing, Archmage Camilla carefully looked at the steel plates that were welded together, and found that compared to the previous experiment, the two steel plates were obviously more firmly connected now.
He picked up the steel plates welded together and broke them apart with both hands at the same time, only to find that they didn't move at all. Even if he tried his best, they couldn't be broken apart like before.
"That's pretty much it." Archmage Camilla nodded with satisfaction and handed the steel plate to Xu Yi. "Can you try and see if you can break it open? If you, a young guy like you, can't break it open, then it should be considered okay."
Xu Yi shook his head: "I'm not much stronger than you. If you can't break it open with so much strength, I can't do it either."
"Oh? So this welding technology is considered to be formed?" Camilla the Great Magician asked.
"Not necessarily." Xu Yi took the steel plate, then pulled up a table with a little gap between it and the test bench, placed the steel plate in the middle, then picked up a larger steel plate from the ground, and smashed it hard against the middle Go down.
"Keng"
With a loud and crisp sound, the two steel plates welded together were smashed open. At the same time, they slid off the table and fell to the ground with another loud and crisp sound.
A trace of disappointment immediately appeared on Archmage Camilla's face.
"If this doesn't work, what should we do?"
Xu Yi picked up the two steel plates with a smile. After looking at them, he turned the connecting surface to the great magician Camilla and said: "Look, there are obviously bubbles in it, so the welding is actually not perfect. As long as it is solved After these minor problems, the welding quality is guaranteed.”
"But I think even if it is like this, it cannot be particularly strong. If it is impacted by a particularly powerful force, it will still cause it to fall off." Camilla, the great magician, frowned. "Could it be that this magical welding technology is still useless after all?"
Xu Yi laughed, shook his head and said: "Grandpa, you can't be discouraged. This magic welding technology is not useless, on the contrary it is very important. Your current welding technology is just not up to standard, so the welding quality is relatively poor. That's all. I don't think you are very good at this. On the contrary, the blacksmiths and dwarf craftsmen are better at it, so I think you can cooperate with them in the next research work. "
"Well, that's right." Archmage Camilla nodded. "I'm just good at magic. These specific smelting operations are indeed not as good as those craftsmen."
"Yes, besides, magic welding often does not require that the metal plates must be connected like a whole plate. Most of the time, it is just to play a connecting and sealing role, and will not be subject to super strong force. The ability to withstand the impact is not that high,” Xu Yi said again. "Besides, there is still a lot of room for research and improvement in this technology. You don't need to worry."
"How can you not be anxious?" Camilla, the great magician, glared at Xu Yi. "Kanby and the others have successfully developed the magic engine. I haven't solved this welding technology problem yet. Isn't it embarrassing in comparison?"
"So, the specific practical operation technology is not an area that you need to study. Your main work is in this aspect." Xu Yi picked up the small tool that the great magician Camilla put on the test bench. "This magic welding gun is what you need to study most seriously. For now, it is basically a success. Next, you only need to engrave the Transformers array on the magic welding gun. Then give a specific array Just make the design drawings. The specific production and design process issues are the responsibility of Canby and the design institute.”
"Why do I feel so useless when you say that?" Archmage Camilla frowned.
"How is that possible!" Xu Yi quickly retorted loudly. "Grandpa, we are studying magic machinery. Magic is the most important thing. How could you be useless? If you hadn't developed this magic circle, this magic welding gun would never have appeared! So, you are the one The one who played the most important role in it, no one else can match it!”
"Okay, stop flattering me. I know what I'm doing." Although the great magician Camilla glared at Xu Yi, she was still amused by Xu Yi after all. He smiled and asked again: "I haven't asked you yet, how was your trip to the Principality of Standing this time? Did it go well there?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "In front of the great gold coin pioneer, what problems can't be solved?"
"What? How many gold coins did those greedy guys ask you for?"
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "It would be better if they spoke frankly. The problem is that they still have to show some face, so many times they just hinted at me without giving a specific number. As a result, I had to do it many times Guess what they really think, and then I’m afraid that if I don’t give them enough money, I’ll make them unhappy. It makes me cry just thinking about it these days.”
"Hmph, these guys will sell the entire Principality of Standing sooner or later." Archmage Camilla glanced at Xu Yi, pointed at him and said, "Maybe you will buy it in the end."
"If possible, I would really like to buy them all." Xu Yi said with a smile. "Although the people in the Principality of Standing are not very good, the geographical location and natural resources there are extremely rich. It would be great if you could have such a place as your own territory."
"Do you think I don't know what your kid is planning?" Archmage Camilla snorted coldly. "In my opinion, you have probably been interested in that place for a long time, and you will get it sooner or later, right? But it's okay, in the name of those grand dukes and nobles who are only greedy, it is better to get it in your place. At least you are sincerely willing to work hard for ordinary civilians to live a good life."
"If everyone in the Lampali Kingdom, well, as long as Earl Stark could understand my painstaking efforts like you do, that would be great." Xu Yi said with emotion.
"Go ahead and dream, his granddaughter is not married to you." The great magician Camilla rolled her eyes and suddenly said: "But I heard that Earl Stark has a little daughter who is not married yet. This year Twenty-seven years old, are you interested?"
Xu Yi waved his hands repeatedly: "Grandpa, don't make such a joke. If I really have other ideas, let alone Steele, you will probably kill me first, right?"
"Hmph, it's good to know!" Archmage Camilla turned around and was busy on the experimental table again, but spit out: "Steele already knows about the little girl named Teresa, you can see for yourself Do it.”
Xu Yi couldn't help but finally muttered that he was wronged. He just met Teresa twice.
The reason for this misunderstanding was probably because she left Teresa in Falling Star Manor.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yi immediately said goodbye to the great magician Camilla and went straight to the new magic research institute that had moved to the Falling Rain Valley.
