Volume 3 Chapter 51 - Magic Welding Technology (1/2)

When he opened the door to the private lab, he saw Great Magician Camilla holding two steel plates that were ten centimeters long, five centimeters wide, and a centimeter thick. The two steel plates were put together and there was a small took with a strange probing head, currently slowly moving along the two steel plates.

He couldn’t see what Great Magician Camilla was doing by the door, but when he came to the lab bench, he saw that wherever Great Magician Camilla’s small tool moved, the area of steel on the two steel plates quickly melted.

After the head went by, the molten steel congealed. After the head went around once, the two steel plates were firmly stuck together.

Xu Yi took the two steel plates from Great Magician Camilla’s hand and turned it around, finding that the two steel plates were tightly fused. It didn’t shake at all from his movements, like they were linked to each other.

“Grandfather, you truly are powerful. You made a breakthrough in this short period of time. Look now, isn’t this Magic Welding Technology complete?” Xu Yi praised.

Great Magician Camilla gave a sigh and shook his head, taking back the steel plates from Xu Yi’s hand before forcefully bending them.

“Pa.”

With a clean sound, the two steel plates that seemed tightly sealed split apart.

Great Magician Camilla turned to Xu Yi beside him and said, “Do you see it, currently it can’t go past a depth of three centimeters. It can’t fuse the two steel plates together at all, so this technology is far from being complete.”

Xu Yi took the two steel plates and put them back together before looking it over. He couldn’t help smiling, “Grandfather, I never thought that your progress would be this quick, so I forgot to remind you. If you want to weld two steel plates together, you can’t do it with the steel plates themselves. It’s too difficult to fuse the steel plates together, so you need to use a welding wire to satisfy this need.”

“Welding wire?”

“Un…..” Xu Yi looked around. He took a piece of scrap iron from the table filled with steel and handed it to Great Magician Camilla, “Try using this welding wire and melt it between the two plates, see how it works?”

Great Magician Camilla took the small wire and carefully looked at it for a bit before placing two steel plates back on the table, putting them together. Then he put the thin iron plate between the two steel plates and took the small tool with his right hand, as he moved it along the line of the iron bar.

There was a dark yellow light that came from the head as the thin iron bar quickly turned into molten iron. In the crevice, the molten iron began to melt the surrounding metal.

Great Magician Camilla carefully moved this head across the iron. When the thin iron plate was melted, only two thirds of the steel plates had been welded and there wasn’t a space to continue welding.

Xu Yi quickly gave him another iron plate. Great Magician Camilla took it and moved a bit faster as he finished welding the rest of the steel plates.

When he was done, Great Magician Camilla carefully looked over the fused steel plates and found that compared to the previous experiment, the steel plates were much more firmly connected.

When he picked up the steel plates to bend, he found that he couldn’t move them at all. He couldn’t break them even if he used his full force.

“This is more like it.” Great Magician Camilla gave a satisfied nod as he gave the steel plate to Xu Yi, “Can you break it? If a young man like you can’t break it, this should be good.”

Xu Yi shook his head, “I’m not stronger than you. If you can’t break it with all your strength, I can’t do it.”

“Oh? Then this welding technology is complete?” Great Magician Camilla asked.

“Not certain.” Xu Yi took the steel plate and pulled the table, creating a small space in the lab bench. He put the steel plate inside before taking another steel plate and smashing it towards it.

“Peng.”

With this large sound, the welded steel plate was broken and fell off the table, falling to the ground.

Great Magician Camilla revealed a disappointed look.
