"President, in fact, regarding the new magic machine tool... Whether it is the Magic Research Institute or our magic machine tool R&D center, we have already had some relatively mature ideas... But in terms of specific research and development, we have encountered some problems. We have come to a very important problem, and it is almost impossible to solve it... "
Seeing Canby's troubled look, Xu Yi immediately interjected without thinking, "It's a matter of materials, right?"
Canby was startled and quickly responded: "Yes, it's a matter of materials. President, your request for the new magic machine tool is mainly to improve the power of the magic machine tool. I understand your idea, you want to rely on a higher specification magic machine tool. To build a more powerful magic machine."
"Yes, if the specifications of the magic machine tool are too low, we will be restricted in manufacturing large-scale magic machines. Therefore, we must first solve the problem of the magic machine tool." Xu Yi nodded.
Canby smiled bitterly and said: "But after the various powers of the magic machine tool have been improved, the requirements for materials have become much higher. For example, when we were developing a new medium-sized magic stamping machine tool some time ago, the machine tool could only withstand no more than After 10,000 punches, serious cracks will appear and it will no longer work. "
"Ten thousand times?" Xu Yi frowned. "Isn't this too little? Haven't you thought of other ways to alleviate it?" Xu Yi also smiled bitterly: "No way, I can't do anything about this problem. Material research is something that cannot be rushed, and there is no shortcut. "
Every time when discussing material issues with Canby and others, Xu Yi regretted that he did not learn more about materials science when he was on Earth, so that he could not rely on the experience on Earth to promote the New Flying Chamber of Commerce here. aspects of development.
However, materials science is profound and profound. Even if Xu Yi had this idea at the time, he probably wouldn't have the time.
Now that he was able to use his mechanical engineering knowledge to build the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City in just over three years, it can't be said that this was wrong.
After all, the industrial system is extremely complex and far from being something he can completely handle alone.
"Fortunately, we already have many types of non-ferrous metals. As long as we do more research, I think we can always make breakthroughs in materials research and find suitable alloys to build this kind of magic machine tool that needs to resist strong impact forces." Xu Yi comforted Canby said. "As for now, let's do research under limited conditions first." "Oh? So there is still a breakthrough. Tell me, in what aspect is the breakthrough? It is the problem of the magic lathe's rapid tool movement that you mentioned last time. , or is it the precise positioning of the magic stamping machine that Botru mentioned last time?”
"These are all minor problems. Why would I come to report to you specifically?" Canby shook his head and said with a proud look on his face: "Actually, it's what you mentioned countless times before. Problems with the automatic control of the magic machine tool. ”
Xu Yi was stunned, and then he was very surprised: "No way? Is it the self-control magic machine tool you developed? How is this possible!"
"Hey, just come and see me."
Xu Yi followed Canby to the actual operation workshop of the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center with a look of disbelief on his face. He saw a brand new magic machine tool standing in the middle of the workshop. The dwarf Pottru was holding a one-meter-square steel plate in preparation. put in.
"Wait, Botru. Let the president take a look." Camby called Botru loudly.
Botru looked up at Xu Yi, stopped what he was doing, and waited for Xu Yi and Canby to come to the magic machine tool together. Then, with a relatively slow movement, the steel plate was inserted into a slot of the magic machine tool.
The steel plate was just placed in the card slot. Botru pressed a button on the magic machine and then took two steps back to show that he would not interfere at all.
Xu Yi saw the magic machine tool automatically starting up, sending the steel plate out of the slot, and then a semicircular corner was cut off by a slice.
After completing this process, the slot of the magic machine tool automatically rotated the steel plate in a circle and moved it to the side of the slice again. The corners of the semicircle are also cut off.
Repeat this several times. After all four corners of the steel plate are cut, the slot drives the steel plate to sink again. Then it was divided into two ends and clamped, and then, driven by the two iron clamps, it was slightly folded upwards and slightly bent, and then it was sent out again by the slot.
Xu Yi glanced at the greatly changed steel plate in surprise, and then looked at the magic machine tool, and his emotions suddenly became slightly excited.
That's right, although the movements are still very rudimentary and the processes that can be completed are relatively simple, the entire control of this magic machine tool does not involve anyone's intervention and is completely automatic!
This means that as long as the research is further deepened in the future, automatic magic machine tools that are comparable to CNC machine tools on Earth may appear on the continent of Sainz!
Xu Yi took a breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and signaled Botru to feed the steel plate into the magic machine tool again.
Botru still did as he was told, and then Xu Yi saw that the steel plate went through the same process again and was finally sent out.
Xu Yi put the two steel plates on the front and back together and compared them. He was surprised to find that the two steel plates were exactly the same!
He even asked Canby to bring a vernier caliper for measurement, and found that the error did not exceed .1 millimeter!
Although this is far from the high-precision CNC machine tools on the earth, it is already very amazing for the industrial level on the Sainz continent.
Xu Yi asked Botru to repeat the operation several times. Finally, after comparing several processed steel plates, he found that the maximum error of various parameters of these steel plates did not exceed .mm.
"Awesome!" Xu Yi couldn't help shouting loudly, then he patted Canby and Botru on the shoulders, and said excitedly: "You guys did a great job! With this thing, our chamber of commerce's production efficiency has improved." It will be greatly improved, and I won’t have to worry about production capacity! Haha, great! I want to commend you on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce! I decided to give you a note..."
"Wait!" Kanby suddenly interrupted the excited Xu Yi. "President, the biggest contributor to the creation of this automatic magic machine is not us, but Sancheli. If you want to give a reward, you should give it to him first."
"Sancheli?" Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then dug out the person corresponding to this name from the depths of his mind. "It turns out to be him, no wonder..."
Since the last time he revealed his research breakthrough in magic programming technology at the Magic Fountain in the New Municipal Plaza, Sancheli has not had any new research results for nearly two years, so much so that Xu Yi has almost forgotten about this person.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yi was so excited to be on this automatic magic machine tool that could solve the factory capacity problem that had troubled him for a long time. Sancheli jumped out without warning.
After Xu Yi was stunned for a while, he asked Canby: "You mean, Sancheli also participated in the research and development of this automatic magic machine tool?"
"It's actually not quite accurate to say that he participated. To be precise, he was the first to come up with the idea of this automatic magic machine tool." Canby replied. "If he hadn't told us that we could set up in advance through magic and let the magic machine automatically complete some set actions, we would never have thought of this. And the most important self-control magic array on this magic machine was completed by him. , so I think the biggest contributor should be him.”…
"Well, we just changed the structure of the magic machine tool accordingly. It's nothing. It's far worse than the self-control magic circle he solved. The Magic Research Institute also meant the same thing, and I think it should be remembered by Sancheli. First achievement." Botru said.
Xu Yi thought for a while, but suddenly snorted: "Why didn't anyone inform me of such an important research and development in advance? It wasn't until today that you almost succeeded in developing this automatic magic machine tool, and I didn't know about it? Are you doing this? Do you take me as the president seriously? "
Seeing Xu Yi's gloomy expression, Kanby and Botru were startled. Canby quickly waved his hands and explained: "President, please don't misunderstand. It's not that we deliberately hid it from you. It's just that Sancheli strongly requested us not to disclose it to you in advance."
"Yes, Sancheli said that he has been hanging around in the Chamber of Commerce for several years in vain, and he has always felt sorry for you. If the automatic magic machine tool is successfully developed, it can be regarded as a reward for you. But if the development fails, he will feel even more shameless. I don’t want to see you, so I don’t dare to let you know,” Botru explained in the same way.
"Huh, does that mean he has the nerve to see me now?" Xu Yi still looked unhappy. "Since he dare not take the initiative to see me, I will not take the initiative to find him. You can tell him for me that when this automatic magic machine tool is completely developed, I will give special commendations and rewards to all those who participated in the research and development. He If you don’t show up then, don’t show up in front of me again!”
After saying these words, Xu Yi turned around and left the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center.
However, he only walked less than a hundred meters. Xu Yi could no longer hold back the expression on his face and laughed from the bottom of his heart.
Compared with how much money the Chamber of Commerce makes, he is always more happy to see the breakthroughs made by the Chamber of Commerce in technology research and development.
Among all technological research and development, he values the technological research and development of magic machine tools, which are the most common but most needed things in the industrial system, the most.
Before that, the development of automatic magic machine tools was just an idea in his mind. Because he knew how difficult the research on magic array pre-programming technology was, he had always been very patient with Sancheli.
However, now, Sancheli has secretly cooperated with the Magic Research Institute and the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center to successfully develop the automatic magic machine tool!
No matter how crude this automatic magic machine tool is, and how far it is compared to the high-precision CNC machine tools on the earth, it represents that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has finally taken the first step in its research in this area.
As long as we persist in research and development in the future, we will catch up with the standards on Earth step by step sooner or later.
How could Xu Yi not feel extremely happy after learning such great good news? )
