————————————
Standing in front of the volcanic blacksmith shop, Xu Yi has swept away the pain of last night and became more energetic again.
"Excuse me, is Master Lanu here?" Xu Yi stepped into the door of the blacksmith shop, facing a heat wave, almost forcing his words back into his throat.
"Keng--"
A loud metal clash came from the blacksmith shop, which seemed to replace the answer.
Xu Yi stepped in, and saw a huge stove in the middle of the blacksmith's shop emitting a roaring fire, and beside the stove, a dwarf whose head only reached Xu Yi's chest, but was twice as thick as Xu Yi. The left hand held a red iron weapon, while the right hand held up a hammer that was twice the size of Xu Yi's head, and slammed it down heavily.
"Keng--"
"Keng--"
...
As the hammer was raised and dropped again and again, a crisp golden sound reverberated in the blacksmith shop, which had a unique charm.
Xu Yi watched the dwarf's skillful and dynamic rhythm tapping for a while, and couldn't help nodding secretly.
Heinze was right. When it comes to forging skills, dwarves are the first choice on this continent.
When I saw Heinze again today, Xu Yi revealed to him the problems he was facing in a small talk. Heinze said that there was nothing he could do about the material problem, but he made a suggestion for the process problem, that is, let Xu Yi come to find him. The most famous blacksmith in Bangta City is the dwarf Ranu in front of him.
After being reminded by Heinze, Xu Yi only remembered that this is the Sainz Continent, which is different from the earth after all. There are not only humans, but also various races other than humans.
Among them, the dwarves are the forging masters who are well-known throughout the continent, and are recognized as the race with the strongest forging skills.
However, the dwarves generally live in their own tribes and rarely go out, so there is only one dwarf blacksmith like Ranu in the entire Bangta City. Xu Yi didn't think of it at all before.
After waiting patiently for a while, the dwarf Ranu finally completed the forging at hand, threw the formed red parts into the water tank, and turned to look at Xu Yi.
"Hey, just say something, I don't like to beat around the bush." While speaking, Ranu picked up a water bag on the table next to him, stretched out his hand to unscrew the mouth of the bag, and suddenly a strong smell of alcohol rushed out.
Fine wine is a favorite of dwarves, and the stronger the better.
"Master Lanu, I'm here to ask you to help build something." Xu Yi quickly took out the blueprint from his arms and handed it over.
"What?" Ranu raised his neck and took a sip of wine. He took the blueprint and glanced at it. He snorted coldly, and threw the blueprint out, angrily saying, "Who told you that Ranu would help people build it. How many broken nails?"
Xu Yi laughed and picked up the blueprint on the ground: "Master Lanu, although this thing is indeed a nail, it should be called a screw to be precise."
"I don't care what kind of screw he has. Anyway, I, Ranu, never make such gadgets. You can go!" Ranu waved his sturdy arm and turned around, looking unwilling to pay attention to Xu Yi. Demeanor.
"Aren't you going to do it? Or can't you do it?"
As soon as Xu Yi finished speaking, Lanu turned around like a whirlwind, pointed at Xu Yi and shouted loudly: "Human! I tell you, don't think that Lanu will fall for your stupid aggressive tactics! I said if you don't do it, you won't do it! "
"Oh, if you don't do the screws, do you do this? This thing is not a small thing." Xu Yi took out another drawing.
Lanu glared at Xu Yi and took the blueprint with patience.
This time, he didn't throw the blueprint out immediately, instead he snorted and looked at it seriously.
After a while, Ranu slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Yi with a puzzled face: "Hey, human boy, where did you get this blueprint? Why have I never seen such a thing?"
"I designed it myself, how about it? Master Lanu, can you make it?" Xu Yi asked.
Lanu looked at the drawing and thought about it carefully. His face suddenly turned red, and he groaned: "This thing is just something you just imagined, how could you do it? I said boy, you are here on purpose to have fun. Mine? If so, get out of here!"
Xu Yi chuckled, this drawing shows a large excavator, and it would be very difficult to build one on Earth. Of course, it would be a fool's dream to manufacture it manually.
But of course he didn't come to entertain Ranu. Seeing that Ranu was angry, but his eyes were still on the blueprint, he said solemnly: "Master Lanu, you are a master blacksmith, you should know that although the things on this drawing are now I can't make it, but I should know that this thing is not something I came up with out of thin air. And this thing is the main reason why I came to you. "
Ranu snorted and his face softened a little.
In fact, he could see that what Xu Yi said was true.
Although the things on the drawing looked very whimsical, the drawings were marked with very detailed markings, and there were even extremely detailed and precise specifications.
According to his inference, this kind of thing is not completely impossible to make, but it is just not up to the level of forging on Sainz Continent.
"Okay, boy, what are you doing here?" Ranu couldn't help asking.
Xu Yi handed out the first drawing again.
"I'm not joking. I came to you this time because I hope you can help build this screw."
This time, Ranu didn't get angry, but took the drawing and looked at it carefully.
He just glanced at it and saw that the drawing was a gadget, so he threw it out. Now he looks at it again, but finds that although this gadget called a screw is small, it is really not simple.
At first glance, this thing is similar to an ordinary nail, but if you look carefully, you will find that it is also a nail. This screw is surrounded by a circle of fine threads, and the spacing is not bad at all. It extends all the way and looks extremely Sophisticated and complex, it is far from the ordinary bare nails.
Ranu watched for a while, puzzled: "Hey, boy, what are you doing with such a complicated pattern on a nail? Is it to look good?"
"Of course not." Xu Yi smiled and took out another blueprint and handed it to Lanu.
This drawing is actually one of the design drawings of the second version of the variable speed magic fan, but only a part of the fan housing interface is shown, which includes the nut and the screw opening of the fan housing.
Ranu took the drawing and looked at it for a while, and immediately saw the mystery.
"So that's what happened! This is great! If there is this hole, just turn this screw in and it will fix it, and even if you want to take it out, it is very convenient. Hey, boy, the guy who came up with this thing is really Genius!"
As a master blacksmith, Ranu could see at a glance how much the design of the screw would affect the forging process.
At first, he looked at this small screw with disdain, but when he saw the corresponding nut and screw opening, he immediately changed his mind about the screw.
When he looked up and saw the smile on Xu Yi's face, Ranu was taken aback: "Isn't this something you came up with?"
"It's me." Xu Yi admitted unceremoniously. "How? Master Ranu, are you willing to make screws now?"
Ranu took another look at the drawing and nodded: "For the sake of such a genius idea, I'll make an exception and help you. Tell me, how many screws do you need me to help you make?"
Xu Yi smiled and stretched out a finger.
"It can't be one, right? That's ten? Well... I have to make a mold first, it will take about a week." Master Lanu pondered.
"More than ten." Xu Yi shook his head with a smile.
"Is that one hundred? That doesn't make much difference. As long as the mold comes out, there is not much difference between one hundred and ten, so it will be good for ten days."
"Hehe, Master Lanu, you are wrong, not a hundred, but a hundred thousand."
"One hundred thousand?!" Master Lanu widened his already large eyes, staring at Xu Yi, wishing to spit on Xu Yi's face. "I just thought you were serious about coming to me for help, but you're still here to entertain me! One hundred thousand! Do you want me to help you get this damn screw for the rest of your life?"
Xu Yi touched his face, and with the same smile, he took out a blueprint from his arms again.
"It is of course a waste to let a master blacksmith like you spend their whole life on such small things as screws. In fact, I came to you this time, hoping that you would help me build this magic tooth rolling machine."
"Magic tooth roller? What the hell is this?"
Ranu took the blueprint in confusion, just glanced at it, and his face immediately became solemn.
"This... this thing still looks like..."
"How is it? Are you sure you can make it?"
This time, Ranu did not immediately express his attitude. Instead, he stared at the drawing for a long time. After thinking about it for a while, he slowly replied: "I have to do research, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in a while. By the way, boy. , what is this thing for?"
Xu Yi pointed to the drawings of the screws: "It's for the production of screws."
"Oh? No wonder it looks like this." Ranu nodded suddenly.
"Master Ranu, if possible, I hope you can make this machine as soon as possible. Of course, I will definitely satisfy you in terms of remuneration."
Ranu shook his arm casually: "We'll talk about the remuneration later, first tell me what's going on with this thing? There are many things that are so complicated on your drawings that are not clearly marked, so what should I do? help you?"
Xu Yi couldn't help snickering, thinking that this magic tooth rolling machine was specially modified by himself according to the situation on Sainz Continent. If the tooth rolling machine on Earth was brought in intact, I am afraid you will be famous. The dwarf forging masters of Sainz Continent will definitely be dazzled.
