Chapter 7 Engine Machine Tools

A few days later in the morning, Li Xian was stunned after opening his eyes. I had a dream last night, and all the basic knowledge of formations were intertwined and disturbed in my sleep. After getting up in the morning, I suddenly found that I had mastered the basics of formations!

"It's like this again!" Li Xian didn't know whether to cry or laugh. The last time I followed Sun Ming to learn how to carve jasper lanterns, and I ended up mastering the knowledge of jasper lantern formations in a daze; now I slept, had a good dream, and then integrated the basic teaching that Tang Rong had arranged for a year.

And after the formation was mastered, Li Xian finally stepped into the sixth level of the Qi refining period. The immortal method "Qingyun" handed down by the Li family is still very good, from the Qi refining period to the transcending tribulation and ascension, it is very complete.

"It's gratifying to make progress, but too much progress doesn't seem to be a good thing. So, I've decided, let's...hide my clumsiness."

After rectifying, Li Xian stepped into the "research room".

The research room, this "strange" institution has now become the absolute core of the workshop. Here, the array of lanterns has been improved several times, and the lanterns produced today are more beautiful and dazzling.

It's just that old Mr. Sun Ming was so angry that his beard was shaking. He obviously researched a longer-lived formation that could make the lanterns last for two years, but Li Xian respectfully put this formation on the shelf.

The old man was so angry that he pointed at Li Xian's nose and scolded profiteers.

The atmosphere in the research room was very active. After seeing Li Xian coming in, everyone was still busy with their own affairs.

Song Gang laughed the loudest. After several explorations, he had already produced stainless steel. Even Li Yulong was alarmed by the appearance of stainless steel.

The weapons in the hands of soldiers can only be used for three years at most, and the main problem is rust. Even the magic tools used by many foundation-building period cultivators are only made of ordinary steel, and these magic tools will still rust slowly.

However, the cunning and cunning Li Yulong did the same thing as Li Xian did to stainless steel—respectfully and solemnly put it on the shelf. But they also forged a small batch of weapons and took them away, for some reason.

Secondly, He Lin also smiled happily. With the construction made of stainless steel, the loom is much larger and easier, and the weaving speed has increased by more than 30%.

Liu Bin, a carpenter in the past, has a tendency to be gradually promoted to a mechanical engineer, although this engineer is only studying looms now.

Tang Rong sat in the center, and as the person with the highest cultivation base, he has the qualifications.

Li Xianshi ran to the blackboard, "Starting today, we will study two things. One is called a bearing, and the other is called an engine. Only with these two things can our workshop be truly reborn."

Next, Li Xian explained the most basic ball bearing structure.

Tang Rong laughed when he saw the bearing structure, "This thing is simple, but I didn't think of it before. Using magic can condense very smooth balls."

The balls condensed by the magic spells are really smooth, round and cute, and the balls rolled all over the place with one piece of spells; however, everyone was busy for half an hour, but they couldn't find two of the same size. This result made Tang Rong very embarrassed, and his face turned red.

Li Xian proposed a solution: "Create a mold and use it to cast. Countless identical parts can be made by condensing one mold. Let's use jade to carve the mold. Teacher Tang Rong will describe the reinforcement formation for the mold."

Carving jade molds is very fast, and the skillful hands of the jade craftsmen only took an hour to carve three qualified molds—a mold for inner and outer bearing sleeves and a mold for a ball.

After Tang Rong took it over, he used soil magic to optimize, adjust and reinforce it, and then described the reinforcement and high temperature resistance formation, and a set of molds was completed.

Then Song just took over the mold and went out to pour it. Liu Bin also went out, and after the preparation of the bearings was completed, he took the lead in improving the loom.

Seeing that the bearing problem was solved in just one morning, Li Xian was a little emotional for a while, the world of magic is really awesome, and the progress is too fast. But there is also a little worry deep in my heart-does this mean that it will be easy for others to copy it? So how to prevent copycats? There are no patents in this world!

It was probably just a moment of emotion, and Li Xian quickly thought about it. The best way to prevent copycats is to become stronger as soon as possible and widen the gap between the two sides. A backward country can imitate a car, but there is absolutely no way to imitate a space shuttle! Even if the information on the space shuttle is placed in front of them, they can only stare blankly.

Next comes the point, the engine. Without an engine, everything is for nothing

"Make things rotate automatically? It's very simple, the whirlwind spell is enough." Tang Rong continued to take it for granted.

As he said that, Tang Rong really cast a small tornado spell. In order to make up for the previous face problem, this spell was very careful. A small tornado with a height of about seven feet appeared, and the rotation was very stable.

"Not enough, the power is too small, and the volume is too large. The engine must have enough torque, uh... that is, it must have enough rotational force. This force must be huge, as strong as the moment when Leifa explodes. But it must be stable enough , Continuously. The most important thing is that it must be controllable.”

Everyone started to discuss; mainly Tang Rong and a few elites from the Artifact Workshop, and Sun Ming was able to chime in.

"The engine makes a housing, which is also the stator; and an inner rotating core, which is the rotor."

"This is really challenging. Why do you have such an idea, young master?"

Li Xian raised his head and smiled, "I promise, you will always enjoy the reward of 5% of the engine profit in the future. Don't underestimate the engine, every loom must be equipped with an engine, and every carriage must be equipped with an engine. Engine The sales volume will be the same as the current jade lantern, and every household will need it.

Not to mention a 5% profit, even a 0.5% profit can make everyone richer than Great Xia. "

"Ah..." Everyone immediately racked their brains to study. In the past, if Li Xian said such things, everyone would just laugh it off; but now it is different, everyone has already worshiped Li Xian as a "wise man".

Li Xian smiled with satisfaction as he watched everyone immerse themselves in research and reorganize the foundation of the formation.

In fact, after suddenly comprehending the principle of the formation, Li Xian already had more than a dozen engine designs, and using the knowledge of the formation, all of them were real perpetual motion machines—thanks to Juling Formation. The biggest difference between knowledge research and scientific system and practice is that practice is a matter for one person, while scientific research is a matter for a team. Therefore, Li Xian consciously cultivated his first team.

During the research process, Li Xian also kept giving everyone a little hint, but just a little hint is enough.

If the engine wants to move, it must "repel"; and the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, the opposition of yin and yang, etc., can all create corresponding engines.

In the evening, Song Gang rushed back excitedly, "It's a success, it's a success, the young master has succeeded. We have built a total of 10 bearings, all of which are exactly the same. Even the main shaft is ready."

Liu Bin also yelled, "It's unbelievable, the loom is more than twice as easy. In this way, I can make a bigger loom, which can be operated by more than a dozen people at the same time."

After Li Xian took over the bearing inspection, he was very satisfied. The quality of the bearings is already comparable to general industrial products. But a few caveats - I know you're excited, but don't wag your tail.

"Senior Song Gang, you can try to add different metal elements and forge different alloys. Some alloys are wear-resistant, some are hard, and some are anti-oxidation. This requires a little research from you all.

In addition, don't just use one size of bearing, but make several more sets.

Senior Liu Bin, besides the loom, I have another task for you. It has a certain similarity with the loom. I believe you will be able to research it soon. This machine is called a machine tool.

Machine tools are machines for processing and producing machines. There are many types. You first research a machine tool that can forge weapons and grind blades.

The simplest machine tool only needs a spindle slide rod, a deflection wheel, a crank handle, a few connecting rods, some bearings, a few belts and a few pulleys. After the belt can be woven with twine, apply animal glue to prevent slipping.

After the technology matures, scales, lifting screws, gears, etc. will be added.”

Looking at the drawing given by Li Xian and listening to Li Xian's explanation, Liu Bin immediately patted his chest and shouted, "Simple, much simpler than a loom!"

A few days passed quietly, Li Xian has been here for a hundred days.

On this day, Tang Rong finally made his first engine, a perpetual motion machine!
