When Xu Yi saw the great magician Camilla, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. ..
Now the great magician Camilla is wearing a set of sky blue loose linen work clothes standard by the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. He is holding two steel plates in his left hand and a magic welding gun in his right hand. He is staring at the gap between the two steel plates attentively. Move the magic welding gun little by little.
If you put a protective mask on his face, he would be exactly the same as those welders on earth.
Seeing that the great magician Camilla was all focused on the steel plate and magic welding gun, Xu Yi did not disturb him and stood at the door carefully observing his movements.
Compared with when he first developed the magic welding gun, the current Camilla Archmage is undoubtedly much more skilled in welding two steel plates.
Although the magic welding gun he held in his right hand did not move very quickly, its speed was very stable, and the magic welding gun did not tremble at all.
This alone is enough to compare with the old welders on the planet who have many years of experience.
After the great magician Camilla skillfully completed the welding of the two steel plates, Xu Yi took two steps forward and took a look, and found that there were almost no welding marks on the welding joints of the two steel plates. The steel plates seem to be connected together by nature, as if they were originally one piece. Camilla the Great Magician saw Xu Yi's actions and smiled: "Boy, do you think I am still the same as before?"
Xu Yi shook his head, and followed the test performed by Camilla the Great Magician after the first successful welding. He placed the two ends of the steel plate on the two tables respectively, leaving a gap in the middle. Then he picked up another steel plate on the ground and raised it high. , hit it hard.
"Keng—"
A dull loud noise sounded in the research room. The steel plate bounced off the table and then fell to the ground, but there was still no looseness.
Xu Yi picked up the steel plate from the ground and carefully observed the welding gap between the two steel plates. He found that there was still no sign of looseness and couldn't help but marvel.
"This is really too strong! Grandpa, how on earth did you do it?"
Archmage Camilla laughed and said quite contentedly: "Actually, it's just an improvement on the welding method. I heard you talk about what kind of welding rods should be used to fill the welding gaps. Use melted welding rods to connect steel plates, so I have always thought about it. But then I thought, since I want to use the melted welding rod to solidify and then connect, it would be better to just melt the two steel plates themselves and then fuse them together, wouldn't it? Much more reliable than using welding rods?" At this point, Xu Yi suddenly stopped.
He suddenly remembered that when the great magician Camilla was doing various welding experiments. The welding rod used did not add any combustion accelerant at all, because the earth magic developed by the great magician Camilla, which Xu also ridiculed as the "Transformers Array", can directly dissolve metal without the need for Use any other means of assistance.
If this is the case, then Camilla the Great Magician's idea is undoubtedly quite correct.
Since you can easily melt steel anyway, why bother with welding rods? Compared with this, it is not a particularly reliable welding method. Of course, it is more stable to directly dissolve and fuse the two steel plates themselves.
Xu Yi looked at the steel plate in his hand that seemed to be a complete piece, and felt a little emotion in his heart.
After all, he is still too deeply influenced by the concepts on Earth, and always considers problems in ways and methods on Earth.
And actually. Because of the existence of magic on the Sainz continent, there are always some things that are difficult to do on earth, but can be easily solved by magic.
For example, the magic circle developed by the great magician Camilla can smelt metals even without high temperatures. Compared with the high-temperature smelting method on earth, it is much easier, simpler and easier to operate.
"I'll show you another welding method I've recently developed." Archmage Camilla suddenly picked up two more steel plates and tapped her fingers on the sides of the two steel plates.
Xu Yi could probably tell that he should have laid out several very tiny magic arrays on these two steel plates, but because the magic arrays were too small, he couldn't see clearly.
After a while. Archmage Camilla stopped what she was doing. He raised two steel plates to signal to Xu Yi, and then pressed the two sides of the magic array tightly together.
Xu Yi felt a wave of magic power at the seams of the steel plates. Then Camilla, the great magician, let go of one hand and saw that the two steel plates were already connected together, as if they had been welded.
"How is this welded?" Xu Yi took the steel plate from the hands of the great magician Camilla and carefully observed the seam of the two steel plates.
Although the connection between the two steel plates does not have any gaps like the two steel plates welded by Camilla the Great Magician before, the connection is extremely tight and the degree of connection is very high. Even if Xu Yi did it again The impact test still showed no signs of explosion.
"It's very simple. I just arranged several miniature smelting arrays on the sides of the two steel plates. Then I only need to connect the two sides, introduce magic power to activate the magic array, and the sides of the steel plates will melt, naturally. The two steel plates can be welded together."
Xu Yi simulated the situation of welding two steel plates in his mind and understood.
This welding method is undoubtedly less solid than the previous welding method, but the advantage is that the surface of the steel plate can be kept smooth, and there is no need for post-processing like the previous welding method, which is undoubtedly much easier. .
Moreover, this welding method will work wonders at certain times. For example, if a magic welding gun is used to weld many places that need to be welded, it will be very difficult to weld due to space and angle restrictions. However, if this welding method is used, the steel plate must be pre-welded. If the magic array is arranged on the side of the connection, then we only need to butt the steel plates to complete the welding, and there is almost no difficulty.
Moreover, because this method can be prepared in advance by presetting the magic array, in an emergency, welding can be completed very quickly, which can meet the requirements of some special circumstances.
Xu Yi instantly thought of situations where this new welding method would need to be used, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the great magician Camilla.
"Grandpa, you are indeed a great magician. You can actually think of such a useful method." At this point, Xu Yi sighed. "Well, it would be great if more great magicians like you could devote themselves to research on magic machines."
Camilla the Great Magician rolled her eyes: "Do you think that the Great Magician is just a piece of cabbage sold on the street? You can find it casually?"
Xu Yi chuckled: "Of course it's not that easy for a great magician, but it's not that difficult for a relatively advanced magician, right?"
Camilla, the great magician, glanced at Xu Yi and snorted coldly: "What other evil ideas do you have, kid? To be honest, I knew it would be up to you to come to me specifically."...
Xu Yi immediately shouted at Qu: "Who said there are no good things? Isn't it a good thing that I came here to give you a salary increase?"
"Salary increase?" Camilla, the great magician, was suddenly stunned. "Why are you giving me a salary increase? My annual salary now exceeds three thousand gold coins. What else do I need to increase? Besides, I have various magic materials provided by the Chamber of Commerce for research, and I don't even need that kind of money. Do you think so? If you have more money, you might as well allocate more funds to the Magic Research Institute."
"Increasing the funds allocated to the Magic Research Institute has been considered for a long time, but it is also imperative to increase your salary. Otherwise, how can we rely on this to attract other magicians to join our New Flying Chamber of Commerce? "Xu Yi chuckled.
Camilla, the great magician, frowned and thought for a moment, then understood what Xu Yi meant.
"You mean... you want to increase my salary and use me as an advertisement?"
"That's right." Xu Yi nodded repeatedly. "Look, you are now the only great magician in our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and that is the signature of our Chamber of Commerce. If something happens to you, it will definitely attract special attention from other magicians, are you right?"
"Of course this is true, but..." Camilla, the great magician, glanced at Xu Yi and said suspiciously: "How are you going to use me to make a fuss this time? Are you just going to give me a salary increase? I don't think this will have any effect. , My salary is already high enough, and adding more won’t have much effect.”
"Hey, it doesn't have much effect because you add too little. If you want to really cause a sensation, of course you can't be too stingy."
Archmage Camilla frowned: "How much do you plan to give me? Five thousand gold coins a year? Isn't this too much?"
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head, stretching out a finger.
"No, five thousand gold coins is not much, and how can it achieve the sensational effect I hope for in advertising. This time, I plan to directly increase your annual salary to ten thousand gold coins!"
"Ten thousand gold coins?" Archmage Camilla's eyes widened in surprise. "Xu Yi, are you crazy! Give me a salary of 10,000 gold coins for a year? Did you get the money you earned from being a Xinfei merchant for nothing?"
"If you want to get good returns, of course you need good investment." Xu Yi shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Although ten thousand gold coins is not too small, I think if it is used to measure the value of your great magician, , that’s too little. As far as I’m concerned, the value of you alone is far more than a mere ten thousand gold coins, not to mention that I have other purposes for giving you such a salary.”
"In order to make other great magicians tempted?" Great Magician Camilla asked.
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "That's right.")
