This time, when Xu Yi left the exclusive research room of Camilla the Great Magician, he was no longer as disgraced as the last time. Instead, he held his head high and had a proud smile on his face.
Steele had been waiting outside for a full two hours and was very anxious. When he saw Xu Yi coming out, he immediately rushed over, looked at Xu Yi expectantly and asked: "How is it? How is it? Grandpa, how is he? Said?"
Xu Yi smiled and extended his right index and middle fingers to Steele, making a "V" gesture that represented victory. Then he remembered that Steele didn't understand the meaning of this gesture at all, and said quickly: "Don't worry. , Your Majesty the Great Magician agreed."
"Agreed?" Steele exclaimed in surprise and looked at Xu Yi up and down with curiosity on his face. "Grandpa actually agreed! Let me tell you, Xu Yi, how did you convince grandpa? Could it be that you actually used the legendary dark charm magic on grandpa?"
"How could I know that kind of thing?" Xu Yi glared at Steele angrily. "Besides, your grandfather is a great magician. I, a mere guy who has not even passed the magician level certification test, used magic on him. Don't you think he will die quickly enough?"
"Then how did you get Grandpa to agree? He hates businessmen the most, let alone cooperating with businessmen." Steele continued to ask in confusion.
"Well..." Xu Yi paused and sighed helplessly. "Your Majesty the Great Magician has no choice. After all, magicians also need to eat. The problem your grandfather is facing now is very real, that is, no money. Although he is stubborn, but compared to this magic tower that has condensed all his efforts, For me, these stubbornness are nothing. Besides, it is better to cooperate with me than with other businessmen. After all, I am a businessman with a conscience, and I also have the identity of a magician. Your Excellency, the Great Magician, accepts it. It will be relatively easy.”
A trace of sadness flashed across Steele's face, he nodded slightly and sighed: "Yes, if it wasn't really helpless, grandpa would definitely not agree to do this." After saying that, he turned to look at the great magician Camilla. The door to the exclusive research room. "I'll go see him."
Seeing Steele push open the door and walk in, Xu Yi thought for a while, turned and left the magic tower.
Xu Yi could say that he had gained a lot from the two-hour detailed conversation with the great magician Camilla.
The most important achievement is naturally that he finally established a cooperative relationship with the great magician Camilla.
Since we are studying magic machinery, magic naturally occupies an extremely important proportion in it.
Prior to this, most of the magic machines Xu Yi studied could be regarded as light machines, and the magic arrays used were not considered advanced magic arrays. He could complete them with his current strength.
But when Xu Yi was preparing to develop a magic scarifier, he encountered a problem that he had long expected, that is, his own magic strength was not enough.
Because the magic scarifier needs to complete large-area loosening work, the power required greatly exceeds those magic machines developed by Xu Yi before. After Xu Yi's detailed calculations, it was determined that if this magic scarifier uses the wind method, If the array is used as a driving force, a minimum level six wind array is required to meet the requirements.
Although Xu Yi's magic strength has been improving by leaps and bounds, after all, time is still short. Now he is only between the third-level and fourth-level magicians. He can only master some fourth-level magic and magic arrays. For the sixth-level magic array, It is powerless.
Even though Steele, Evita and Akali were slightly more powerful than Xu Yi in magic, they were still unable to complete the sixth level magic circle, so Xu Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and think of looking for it. Archmage Camilla helps.
Speaking of which, Xu Yi should also thank the royal family of the Lampali Kingdom. If they hadn't suddenly cut the funds for the Great Magician Camilla this time, causing the Great Magician to encounter an economic crisis, Xu Yi would still be directly affected by him this time. After being kicked out, how could he finally convince the great magician Camilla to agree to cooperate with him.
Xu Yi was not in a hurry. He knew very well that even if the great magician Camilla agreed to cooperate, his prejudice against businessmen would not disappear so easily, so this time he just came up with the idea of a magic ripper first. Let Camilla, the great magician, collaborate on the research without making any more requests.
It has to be said that the great magician is a great magician, not only far surpassing Xu Yi and others in terms of magical strength, but also far surpassing them in vision, insights and realm.
After Xu Yi explained the design concept of the magic ripper in detail, the great magician Camilla only said one sentence and left Xu Yi stunned for a long time.
"Since it is to loosen the soil, why use the wind magic circle instead of the earth magic circle?"
After hearing these words, Xu Yi stayed for a while and then slapped himself hard on the forehead.
fool!
The great magician Camilla is absolutely right. Since the function of the magic scarifier is to loosen the soil, using the earth magic circle is the simplest and most direct, and also the most effective. It is far from using the wind magic circle as a tool. Power-activated soil loosening function ratio.
Xu Yi realized at that time that he was completely limited by stereotyped thinking.
Because in the original world, almost all machines used various energy sources to convert power, and then used the power to drive the machinery, so Xu Yi always used this idea when studying magic machines.
The first magic machine Xu Yi developed in Sainz Continent was a magic fan, and he discovered that the wind array as a driver could almost completely simulate the power machines on the earth. So when he did research after that, he started from simulating the earth. From the perspective of those machines, the most used one is naturally the wind magic circle.
However, now being reminded by Camilla the Great Magician's words, Xu Yi suddenly discovered that he had actually entered a misunderstanding.
After all, the continent of Sainz is different from the earth, and the biggest difference is magic.
Although it cannot be compared with the highly developed industrial system on earth, magic has its own advantages.
Xu Yi had previously lamented the efficiency of the magic array in transforming the power generated by magic crystals. Now he discovered that magic also has powerful advantages in flexibility and variety.
As far as this magic scarifier is concerned, if Xu Yi's design ideas are followed, it will be similar to the scarifier on earth, driven by the power brought by the wind magic circle.
Considering that this soil loosening machine would operate on a lot of land that had been deserted for a long time and had relatively hard soil, Xu Yi considered higher power requirements when designing it, and finally determined it to be a minimum level six wind array.
However, after being reminded by the great magician Camilla, Xu Yi quickly changed his mind and thought in terms of earth magic circles, only to find that he only needed a second-level earth magic circle - the earth-shattering magic circle to fully meet this requirement. .
It even just needs to be designed more delicately, and the effect will be much better than Xu Yi's previous design!
In this process, what Xu Yi valued most was not that the design of the magic scarifier could be greatly simplified and the cost could be reduced a lot, but that his thinking suddenly broadened.
If before Xu Yi only used the rich mechanical knowledge he had mastered on the earth and then borrowed the power of magic to imitate each machine, then after that, Xu Yi discovered the diversity of magic and he could completely change the whole His design ideas truly perfectly combine magic with his special mechanical knowledge.
In other words, the magic machines that Xu Yi developed before can only be regarded as magic power machines.
And this new version of the magic scarifier, which was researched and designed after discussions with Camilla the Great Magician, is a true product that combines magic and machinery! Represents the true integration of the two civilizations of Sainz Continent and Earth!
Thinking of this, Xu Yi's footsteps became brisk unconsciously.
As a mechanical engineer, his research heart was burning brightly. He couldn't wait to rush back to the factory and start the development of a new magic scarifier with the dwarves headed by Canby who were responsible for researching and manufacturing machine tools.
But when Xu Yi stepped on the path leading to the factory, looking from a distance, he was shocked to find that the open space in front of the two factory buildings was actually filled with people, and it was so dark that there was not even a gap. Leave.
Seeing the bustling and noisy scene in front of him, Xu Yi felt a thump in his heart.
Did something happen
