Volume 2 Chapter 62 - Engine (1/2)

Entering the magic machine development workshop, he was not surprised to see Bordeau and the other dwarves crowded together, talking while they surrounded a strange looking machine.

Xu Yi walked over to take a listen and found that they were currently researching a problem with the kinetic energy parameters of this Magic Punch Press.

According to Xu Yi’s initial design, this Magic Punch Press’ kinetic power came from the Fourth Grade Flame Magic Array, the Burst Magic Array. It relied on the explosive force of the Burst Magic Array to drive the head through the mold.

In the beginning, there was no problem with this design.

But after it was used for a while, the dwarves gradually found that the force of the Magic Punch Press wasn’t strong enough. Moreover, the recovery time before each explosion of the Burst Magic Array was rather long, so it seriously limited the efficiency.

As the Frestech Chamber of Commerce received more and more orders, increasing the amount, the Magic Punch Press’ efficiency clearly couldn’t keep up.

Although they could produce a few more Magic Punch Presses to solve this problem, this required a few more workers to operate these Magic Punch Presses which indirectly increased the cost.

So while the dwarves led by Camby were researching new Magic Punch Presses, they didn’t stop improving the old Magic Punch Presses.

As for improving the Magic Punch Presses, Xu Yi had already given a new design to provide mechanical power for the Magic Punch Press.

But because Xu Yi only knew the machine structures from earth, he needed to change the entire structure for it to work with Magic Arrays, so he had Camby and the dwarves finish the research for this.

Bordeau and the other dwarves were currently studying the kinetic energy parameters of the old Magic Punch Presses to determine the force specifications of the old Magic Punch Presses. Then they would use this to design the new Magic Punch Presses.

This was work that required precise calculations. This was not the customs of the dwarves before, but after working for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce for a while, they were gradually influenced by Xu Yi.

Seeing Xu Yi come in, Bordeau and the others stopped talking and handed over the estimates they had made to Xu Yi to let him take a look.

Although Xu Yi tried to participate in this research as little as possible, whether it was to the dwarves of the magic machine development workshop or Evita and the other researchers of the magic research lab, he was the best magic mechanical engineer in their hearts.

Xu Yi carefully looked over the results of the dwarves and pointed out some mistakes. He then gave them a bit of explanation on where to proceed next before not saying anything else.

He reduced his involvement to let Evita’s group and the dwarves to develop their own minds for research and to build up their knowledge.

After Xu Yi finished talking to Bordeau’s group, Camby who had been waiting on the side asked, “Chairman, since you are here today, do you have some new research for us?”

Hearing Camby’s question, the other dwarves realized something and all looked over at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi couldn’t help smiling, as he thought that all dwarves were workaholics.

“Right, it’s a new task this time and it’s quite the difficult one. Do you want to take it?” Xu Yi asked with a smile.

Camby curled his lips, “Chairman, why are you asking this nonsense? We like difficult tasks the most. Speak, what is it?”

“Alright, there are a total of two tasks and the first one is rather easy.” Xu Yi took out two blueprints and spread the first one, “I talked to the Fersen Carriage Company’s chairman Pompeii yesterday and I promised to help him design some tires, replacing the wheels of his horse carriages. Look, this is the design.”

The dwarves came over to look and Bordeau said in surprise, “Chairman, this tire design is so simple, why do you need us to research this? We just need to change our current production magic machines up a bit.”

“So I said that the first task is rather simple.” Xu Yi spread the second sheet of paper, “As for the second task, it’s much more difficult.”

The dwarves looked down at the paper and they all knit their brows.

There was a very strange thing drawn on the second sheet. It was in the shape of a cube and had many leather belts tied together, as well as a series of complicated and messy mechanical parts.

With just a single look, the dwarves were certain that this thing was very troublesome.

“Chairman, what is this?” Bordeau couldn’t help asking.

Xu Yi laughed, “This thing is powerful. If you can develop this, I dare to guarantee that there will be a giant change on the entire Sines Continent!”

Camby disdainfully curled his lips, “Chairman, you’ve said these words countless times. Whenever you have us develop something, you will say this.”

“Then do you admit if what I said is a fact or not?” Xu Yi said with a smile.

Camby was stunned before looking at the other dwarves, finding that they had no way to refute Xu Yi.

The current Chamber of Commerce did not just rely on their few products to change Banta City and the surrounding cities.
