Volume 5 Chapter 32 - The magic technology of the halflings (1/2)

A steel plate that was 3.7 meters long and 3.6 meters wide, with a thickness of seven millimeters was placed on the work stage of the production magic machine by two workers.

Then a worker pressed the button and the work stage rose around ten centimeters. Then it was brought under the punching head, stopping when there was exactly thirty seven centimeters left on the left side.

Then the punch head came down and the steel plate was slightly bent under the large pressure.

The flat steel plate suddenly formed a small curve. The punch head came back up and the work stage changed the position of the steel plate before the punch head came down again.

After repeating this several dozen times, the steel plate had turned into the shape of a bowl.

When this bowl came out of the conveyor belt, Lumi on the side immediately charged over and reached her small hand out to touch the steel plate. After carefully looking it over, she turned to Xu Yi with a look of shock, “God, it’s actually a perfect standard curve! How did you do this?”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “You should ask Sancheli, this Automatic Magic Punch Press’ core Magic Array was developed by him, he should understand this better than me.”

Sancheli who had been standing by Xu Yi gave a laugh and waved his hand. He pointed at Camby who was on his right and said, “I just designed a few Magic Arrays. If it wasn’t for the skills of Camby’s group perfectly forming my idea, there wouldn’t be any use at all.”

Camby laughed and he wasn’t modest, but he also raised his arm to slap Sancheli’s leg, “The Magic Array Sancheli designed is too amazing, otherwise it’s impossible for this machine to be this strong.”

Lumi waved her small arm and shouted, “I don’t have time to waste listening to you praise each other, I just want to know, what is the principle behind this Automatic Magic Punch Press? Why can it precisely stop pressing down in certain positions and how can it keep working this precisely? It doesn’t even have a single bit of error?”

Sancheli and Camby looked at each other before turning to Xu Yi.

Although they were shocked when they heard the chairman introduce Lumi as a halfling.

But after knowing each other for a few days, the two were used to it.

They knew that Lumi was a top grade researcher hired by Xu Yi for the magic research facility, but the data for this automatic production magic machine was top secret for the company. Even if Lumi was a top grade researcher, she wasn’t qualified to know.

As expected, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and said to Lumi, “Lumi, it’s very troublesome to explain the principle behind this, it can’t be explained in a short period of time. If you’re really interested, I have several books on mechanical theory that I wrote that you can read. After reading them, I believe that you’ll understand most of it.”

“The theory in the books, it’s the reason why you can make these strange magic machines?” Lumi asked.

“Although that isn’t too accurate, the foundations do use this theory.” Xu Yi said with a smile, “The magic machines of you halflings are focused on the magic, but the magic machines that our company makes focus on the machine. After you read these books, you will understand the differences between the two.”

“It’s this strange?” Lumi looked at Xu Yi with a curious look, “Alright, you can give them to me later.”

“Alright.” Xu Yi agreed before looking around. Then he ordered Sancheli and Camby, “You two keep testing the automatic production magic machine in here. If there is a problem, immediately write it down.” Then he waved his hand at Lumi, “Lumi, the automatic production magic machine is here and won’t run away, let’s go take a look at the shipyard first. The engineers there have some problems related to the Magic Ship to ask you.”

“Oh.” Lumi nodded, looking a bit unwilling as she left the automatic production magic machine.

When she went by Camby, she suddenly stood on tiptoes and compared the top of her head with Camby’s. Then she gave a depressed sigh, “Ai, it’s almost a hundred years now that I haven’t grown.”

Xu Yi, Sancheli, and Camby didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

This Lumi was clearly over a hundred years old, so why did she still act like a child?

Could it be that this was the nature of the halflings?

The shipyard wasn’t far from here, so Xu Yi and Lumi only needed to walk a few minutes to reach it.

When they saw Lumi, the human, dwarf, and elf engineers all came over and surrounded her.

“Hey, Lumi, look, I’ve found a big problem with the blueprint you gave me. I’ve calculated it and if it is designed like this, when the Magic Ship surpasses fifty kilometers an hour, the speed would create excess force that would eventually wear down this part, greatly reducing the service life of this part.”

“There’s also this. Look, if this Magic Array is set like this, the right angle sheet design here will block it and keep the Magic Array from displaying its effect. So I advise that we either remove this unnecessary sheet or use another design to let this Magic Array display its effect.”
