Chapter 49: Mine’s better than yours (2/2)
Conversely as the number of fans increase, the material’s’ strength and thickness requirement will obviously decrease. But the curvature of the fans is still quite large, some are even bent beyond those of fishing hooks, yet the aluminum alloy Ye Qing bought previously is more than enough to satisfy the propellers’ requirements.
Furthermore, civilian propellers don’t have the strict requirements like those used in the military. There’s no need for any heat treatment or other steps, so it can be installed and used immediately after completion. If it’s seeking quality, then it just needs a layer of anti-corrosive paint.
“You, you!” Xia Muqing clearly knew now that Ye Qing was cracking a joke, yet she still couldn’t help but get embarrassed.
Of course this still doesn’t mean that Xia Muqing likes Ye Qing. What kind of outstanding males hasn’t she met, she’s blushing purely because she’s got too thin of a skin.
“Then why aren’t you going?” Xia Muqing who has finally understood found it somewhat hilarious. She definitely doesn’t believe that Ye Qing can make these kind of high speed propellers.
Ye Qing first went to his office, Xia Muqing also followed to see what shenanigans he’s making, except found that Ye Qing’s basically sitting there fooling around on the computer.
“Remember to call me when you’re done.” Xia Muqing comfortably stretched out and called out to Ye Qing: “I’m gonna head back to the yacht for a nap while waiting for your gift.”
“No problem!” Ye Qing snapped.
Making propellers, naturally requires the blueprints for them.
Ye Qing first logged onto Sunbird yacht factory’s official website, but couldn’t find any details about the propellers. So he directly logged on to their QQ chat and informed them that he’s looking to buy a yacht, one that is exactly like the one outside right now.
Their customer service representative quickly sent over a bunch of information, within it includes the specific details of the propellers. The manufacturer also used words to flatter and boast how they’re German made and what not.
Jotting down the model number, Ye Qing opened out a CAD repository and began to search for the propeller’s CAD blueprint.
There is a wide range of data available for civilian propellers, especially on the internet. What’s more Ye Qing even found several propeller blueprints that are allegedly for nuclear submarines.
Soon a CAD drawing of the propellers that is the exact same as the ones used by the yacht outside was found by Ye Qing and downloaded onto a USB stick.
This processes only used roughly ten plus minutes, adding on the fact that Xia Muqing went for a nap on the yacht, there’s no one left in the factory to bother Ye Qing.
Closing and locking the door to the workshop, Ye Qing immediately summoned two master artisans.
They naturally possess +8% increase in precision and processing efficiency, add on the +2% precision increase from the level 2 bounded factory, it can be said that when purely comparing precision levels, there isn’t anyone in the world who is on par or even be compared to the master artisans.
Two pieces of square aluminum alloy were quickly cut out, and placed upon the workbench of that completely black tech rapid metal engraver.
Using the rapid metal engraver to carve stone is complete a waste of talent.
Using it to engrave gold, silver, copper, aluminum, lead and other soft metals, is its actual purpose.
Because aluminum alloy’s toughness is way stronger than that of stone, there’s a decrease in processing speed.
Ye Qing from time to time went to check if there was anyone peeking, and after roughly 20 minutes, two brand new almost complete propellers were born.
The workshop possess two CNC milling centers, so placing them directly into the milling area, the two propellers, together, first were bored, then had screw threads tapped on.
Finally, the precision polishing step. The two master artisans that could be straight up be called human machines, directly used the buffing machine and 2000 grit sandpaper to polish and smooth out the propellers.
Ye Qing went out for a stroll, and found the shipyard workers that spent a ton of effort before finally being able to pull the yacht from the dock onto the beach.
Right now the tide hasn’t started to rise, so naturally there wasn’t a way to dry dock it yet, so they could only use cables to secure the yacht from drifting off.
Returning to the office, again purposely wasting a bunch of time, Ye Qing finally stood up and headed to the workshop.
The two propellers were finished a long time ago. The two seven fan high speed propellers were emitting off a silver white radiance as it quietly laid there on the ground.
Perfection!
Perfect to the point of beyond perfection. Even if some fussy and picky engineer were sent over, they still wouldn’t be able to find a tiny thread of defect or flaw.
The limit to human eye identification is limited to 0.1 millimeters.
Experienced fitters, who hand makes everything, can control the precision level to near 0.03 millimeters.
But now the question comes……
What if it’s not made by humans?
Master artisans have nothing special to them, except for the system introduction where they were said to possess precision levels that are beyond imagination.
Then add on the +8% precision property, the Monster Factory’s +2% precision, and the +2% lifespan expectancy of the product.
With these all together, the master artisans now have the capabilities to defy all the experienced fitters in the whole entire world.
Hence the two propellers on the ground, first went through the completely black tech rapid metal engraver’s milling, then had the master artisans’ precision polishing, it now has to qualification to disdain upon all of the original propellers properties.
Even if the company that specially makes yacht propellers from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany were to send over their highly prized engineers. When competing with the master artisans, add on their wife, children, and mistresses, they will lose them all and everything else they own and still not be able to win a single round.
When the Monster Factory levels up to level three, maybe with this bunch of master artisans, he could trash the pride of all those so called high precision factories!
Ye Qing beautifully thought.
