Chapter 42： Material limit (1/2)

When Xu also entered the Magic Machine Tool Production Research Workshop, one hundred dwarves in the workshop were all working hard.

This full hundred dwarves are now responsible for different jobs, some of which are responsible for the continued production of five magical machines necessary for the production of magic fans such as the magic smashing machine, and the other part to study the new magic that forging and giving them to them. mechanical.

At this time, the focus of research is on the magic harvester.

After talking with the Viscount Leslie last time, Xu also convinced that the prospects of farm machinery were very large on the mainland of Sainz, so he came back to study after he returned.

And because it is about to enter the autumn harvest stage, the first target that Xu also aimed at is the agricultural small harvester.

This research is carried out in two aspects at the same time. One aspect is the magical array of the power of the harvester that is jointly studied by Xu and Steele, and the mechanical structure of the harvester that the dwarves are responsible for.

The work that Xu is responsible for is the most important. He must combine the power of the magic array with the harvester as a whole. To do this, he needs a lot of practical data support. For this reason, he is almost every day. Run back and forth between the production workshop outside the city and the research institute in Bangta City.

The hard work is of course rewarding. After this period of research, the small magic harvester has already begun to take shape. Now in this workshop, the dwarves responsible for researching the new magic machinery have made a look only on earth. The harvester has a two-point magic harvester that is constantly being commissioned.

Seeing Xu also coming in, the dwarf Camby, who was appointed as the workshop director by Xu, came over.

”Hey, Xu... Oh no, the president, are you looking at the magic harvester?” Camby raised his short arm and said hello to Xu.

”Okay, Camby, just call me a name.” Xu also smiled and nodded. ”Yes. You didn't look at the farms of the Viscounts outside, did the wheat begin to turn yellow? It seems that I will start harvesting in a month. If we don't speed up, we will magic before the wheat matures.” If the harvester is made out, then at least it will take at least half a year.”

”Do not worry, the brothers are working hard overtime these days. You see, this thing has actually been made, but there will always be some minor problems, otherwise you can go directly to the ground.”

”It’s better to find problems now than when you use them later.”

Xu Yi and Camby walked to the dwarves who were debugging the magic harvester. They asked them carefully and found that the problem they encountered now was that after the machine was running at high speed for a while, there would be obvious unsmooth operation.

There is no need to check at all, and Xu also knows that this must be due to a fault in the bearing.

Sure enough, when you open it, the power shaft of the magic harvester is obviously worn out, causing unevenness on the surface of the shaft, which naturally affects the operation.

Xu is actually very helpless about this, because it is entirely caused by the material problems of the bearings.

Due to the limitation of the iron-smelting technology on the mainland of Sainz, there is no appearance of alloy steel suitable for building bearings that can be both wear-resistant and stretch-resistant.

Whether it is white iron or gray iron, it is not enough to create such a bearing that needs to continuously rotate at high speed.

Although the former magic fan also needs high-speed bearings, but because the power output of the magic fan is not large, the pressure is not large, and it can be dealt with with simple iron bearings, but it needs more power to change into a magic harvester. The machine is very prone to problems.

The material problem was temporarily unresolved. He carefully considered it for a while and only adopted a compromise solution, allowing the dwarf to add an iron ball roller in the middle of the bearing, which can effectively reduce the friction and extend the life of the bearing. some.

Of course, this will also make the output power relatively weak, so Xu also has to rethink the magic array modification plan to ensure that the magic array can output enough power.

”Oh, let's say it, or the industrial system on this continent is too thin. If there are more than a dozen materials available on the earth like alloy steel, where is it so troublesome?” Watching the dwarves start to get busy again because of a small change, Xu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in his heart.

Thinking of this, Xu also naturally thought of the material research room he set up in the dwarf tribe.

Although the research cost of the five hundred gold coins he promised at that time was mostly for the 100-year-old dwarf forging master, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

If the dwarves of the Dwarf tribe can really make a breakthrough in material research, then the investment of five hundred gold coins per month is worth it.

Of course, as a mechanical engineering expert, Xu also knows that material research is not a bit of a fuss, and that it can only be improved a little bit by step. It is simply an urgent matter.
