Chapter 62 Engine

Walking into the R&D workshop of the magic machine tool, it was no surprise that Porter was getting together with several other dwarves, talking about a strange-looking machine.

Xu Yi walked over and listened to a few sentences, and found that they were studying the kinetic energy parameters of this magic punching machine.

According to Xu Yi's original design, the kinetic energy of this magic punching machine comes from the fourth-level fire magic - the explosion magic array, which drives the module to complete the punching by virtue of the powerful impact brought by the explosion.

At first, this design was not a problem.

However, after a period of application, the dwarves gradually found that the punching force of this magic punching machine was still slightly insufficient, and the time interval between each burst and recovery of the burst magic array was long, which severely limited the punching efficiency.

As the new aircraft chamber of commerce receives more and more orders and the production task becomes heavier, this magic punching machine appears to be somewhat inefficient.

Although this problem can be solved by producing a few more magic punching machines, this will require more workers to operate the magic punching machine, which will indirectly increase the cost.

Therefore, the dwarves headed by Camby did not stop improving the old magic machine tools at the same time as they were researching new machine tools.

For the improvement of this magic punching machine, Xu Yi has given a design drawing of a mechanically powered punching machine with a new structure.

However, because Xu Yi only knew the mechanical punch mechanism on the earth, the overall structure would have to be changed if the magic circle was used as the driving force, so the specific overall structure research still had to be completed by the dwarves such as Camby.

Now Portru and others are studying the kinetic energy parameters of the old magic punching machine, just to determine the stamping specifications of this old stamping machine. Then, on this basis, the mechanical power scheme of the mechanical magic punch is designed.

This is a job that requires precise calculations. Dwarves did not have this habit before. This is still a habit that has been cultivated after working in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a long time and has been nurtured by Xu Yi's constant influence.

Seeing Xu Yi walking in, Portru and the others stopped the discussion and handed over some of the parameters and calculation results that had been determined to Xu Yi to watch.

Although Xu Yi has now minimized his participation in the research and development process, he is the best in their minds to the dwarves in the magic machine tool research and development workshop or the magicians such as Evita of the Magic Research Institute. Magical Mechanical Engineer.

Xu Yi carefully read the research notes of several dwarves, pointed out a few misunderstandings, and explained the design direction to them. Then didn't say much.

The reason why he gradually reduces his participation is to cultivate the research consciousness and knowledge accumulation of these dwarves and Evita as much as possible.

After Xu Yi and Potlu and others finished their discussions, Camby, who had been waiting on the side, immediately asked, "President, you came here today, do you have any new research and development tasks for us to complete?"

Hearing Camby's question, the other dwarves were shocked and all looked at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking that these dwarves are all workaholics.

"Yes, this time there is a new mission, and it's a very difficult one. Do you want to take it?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

Camby pouted: "President, are you asking nonsense? We like difficult tasks the most. Say. What is it?"

"Okay. There are two tasks in total, the first one is relatively easy." Xu Yi took out two blueprints and spread out the first one. "Yesterday I promised President Pompely of Philson's Carriage to help him design and make a tire to replace the wheels under those carriages. Look, here's the schematic."

The dwarves leaned over to take a look, and Potru said in amazement: "President, the structure of this tire is so simple, what do you need us to develop and design? Just make some modifications to the various existing magic machine tools."

"So I said the first task is relatively easy." Xu Yi spread out the second blueprint. "As for the second task, it's much more difficult."

The dwarves looked down at the blueprint again, and immediately frowned.

The second blueprint shows a very odd looking thing, roughly in the shape of a cuboid, with various belt conveyors attached to it, as well as a series of dazzlingly complex mechanical models.

Just looking at it, the dwarves were sure that this thing was really troublesome.

"President, what is this?" Potlu couldn't help asking.

Xu Yi smiled: "This thing is amazing. If you can develop it, I can guarantee that the entire Sainz Continent will undergo great changes!"

Camby curled his lips in disdain: "President, I have stopped saying this countless times. Every time you ask us to study new things, you will say this."

"Then do you admit that what I said is true?" Xu Yi smiled.

Camby was startled, looked at the other dwarves, and found that he couldn't refute Xu Yi.

Now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is changing Bangta City and several surrounding cities by relying on one brand new product after another.

Over time, it is foreseeable that it will affect the entire Sainz Continent and thus change the entire Sainz Continent.

"The thing I asked you to study this time is even more powerful than what I asked you to study before, and it can change the entire continent even more." Xu Yi smiled. "Because it has a very powerful name, it's called an engine."

Researching an engine is actually a very difficult thing to do even on Earth.

Because the engine has extremely high requirements on the other side, it not only requires a very high theoretical foundation of the mechanical industry, but also requires a sufficiently strong material foundation, which is indispensable.

However, the engine is just a general term. In fact, if it is divided, it is also divided into automobile engines, ship engines, aircraft engines, aerospace engines, etc...

On the Sainz Continent, where the industrial foundation is weak and the science and technology are even weaker, Xu Yi naturally cannot hope to achieve it in one step, and even an aerospace engine can be developed directly.

He handed it over to Camby and other dwarves to study and design it. In fact, it can't be regarded as an engine strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a poor engine model.

Engines on Earth are powered by various petroleum products, but on the Sainz Continent, Xu Yi has never seen petroleum, nor has he heard where it appears, so naturally he cannot use the same engine design. .

Of course, without oil, it does not mean that the engine cannot be designed, on the contrary, because instead of being limited to the design of the internal combustion engine powered by oil, Xu Yi can design the engine more easily.

For example, in an engine on Earth, in order to make oil provide internal combustion, drive blades to provide rotational force, and then transmit power through mechanical devices, the most important consideration in engine design is how to make better use of the pressure provided by oil combustion, which is very complicated to design.

On the Sainz Continent, due to the special nature of magic, Xu Yi's design was easier.

Even he has two completely different options.

One of the options is to follow the engine design on Earth and use the explosive force and impact provided by fire magic to replace the pressure provided by oil combustion to push the blades to provide power.

To put it simply, the magic power provided by the magic spar replaces the oil, and the fire magic circle replaces the burning process of the oil.

It should be said that with Xu Yi's rich theoretical knowledge of mechanics, this choice will be easier to design. Xu Yi only needs to change some of the internal combustion engine components to the appropriate magic array design.

As for the other option, like a magic fan, it uses the power generated by the wind magic itself to directly push the blades to complete the power output.

The advantage of this design is that Xu Yi can even directly use the wind magic array to drive the axle to rotate, which can simplify the countless complex industrial designs in the engine.

The downside is that compared to the fire magic array, the wind magic array is inferior in explosive power and impact.

For example, that machine is the fourth-level magic explosion technique used on the magic punching machine. If the wind magic is used to achieve the same effect, it must be at least level six or above.

To sum up, there are ready-made examples for the design of the fire magic array, and the power provided is more sufficient, while the design of the wind magic array is simple and easy to design, but the power provided is slightly inferior.

What Xu Yi gave Camby and other dwarves to study this time was the design drawing of the latter type of wind power engine.

There is no relevant research foundation on the Sainz Continent. If you want to succeed in research, the simpler the better at the beginning.

Moreover, Xu Yi did not have much confidence in the design of the fire engine.

After all, he is not a professional engine research expert, and he does not know the details.

And this kind of research is likely to bring some dangers. Maybe you don’t want these precious dwarves to suffer any accidents, so they decided to wait until the research on the wind engine reaches a certain foundation and the dwarves have enough experience. Consider a fire-powered engine.

When meeting with President Pomperi, Xu Yi once said that the horse in the carriage can actually be replaced, referring to the engine.

In the history of the earth, it was the appearance of the engine that gradually replaced the role of the horse, and the horse-drawn carriage was gradually sealed in history.

And now on the Sainz Continent, due to the appearance of Xu Yi, and also because of his strong discomfort with riding the carriage, the appearance of the engine will be advanced, and the day when the carriage will withdraw from the stage of history will of course be earlier.

Xu Yi wanted to study the production of tires and the engine. The purpose was to get rid of the discomfort that his buttocks would rot when riding in a carriage, and to return to the comfort of riding a car on the earth as soon as possible.

However, in order to really solve this problem, there is still a very important problem that needs to be solved.

Xu Yi left the magic machine tool R&D workshop, drove the carriage he hated so much, and went straight to Camilla's Great Sorcerer's Tower. (To be continued..)
