The experience of dwarves and goblins is very precious to Lin. Whether it is their secret techniques for processing metal materials or their insights into the combination and use of different metals, they are not comparable to a magician who teaches himself by trial and error.
Needless to say, welding, whether it was dwarves, goblins, or even Lin, had made some adhesives for magic metals before. These adhesives are actually made from other magical materials. A good adhesive not only connects two different metals together, it can even connect the power transmission between them and become a 'whole'.
As for issues such as high temperature and aging, adhesives made from most magic materials do not exist. To relieve the bonding state, there are corresponding potions. The ingredients of the potion are also different. As long as there is no right medicine, it is impossible to hope to relieve the adhesion.
This is one of the reasons why dwarves and goblins regard these methods as secret. No one wants their potion formula to leak out, allowing others to easily destroy their work.
As for the same materials, it is easier to handle. A magic shaping technique can knead multiple materials of the same material together like playing with clay.
As for the sealing issue, it is a little more troublesome. Previously, Lin also wanted to find rubber, or similar plasticized products extracted from crude oil, to make sealing presses. But both dwarves and goblins have given a very confusing way to solve such a problem.
When materials of the same material are joined together, they are directly integrated using shaping techniques. There are no joint points, so there is no need to consider sealing. But when joining materials of different materials, first stick the two metal ingots together with adhesive, and then use a three-pronged approach of shaping, high temperature, and forging to force out the bubbles that may be present at the joint surface. .
On Earth, when two formed objects are fixed together, because the parts have already been formed, there will inevitably be some gaps on the joint surface that cannot be identified with the naked eye. In order to fill these gaps, the help of items such as clamps and gaskets is needed.
But in Midi, it is normal to glue the items together and then shape and process them as a whole. During this process, it is the most basic operation for the craftsmen of Midi to completely eliminate any bubbles and gaps that may occur. But such basic skills are 'common sense' that a magician who has not studied under a teacher who specializes in making utensils will not have.
It seems that the principle of intersecting lines is like separating mountains, and it makes sense in Midi.
In terms of making an artifact, a magician can make the object look gorgeous and add powerful magic. But when it comes to making basic items perfect, they are still inferior to dwarves who have spent most of their lives working with metal.
As for the goblin's experience, it means daring to try. Find an 'okay' path from constant mistakes. But to Lin, the most valuable are the mistakes that have proven unworkable. Taking fewer detours means getting closer to the correct answer.
The advantages of these three races were fused together, coupled with the knowledge that Lin had learned before crossing over, and they worked together to create a mechanism and prop that had never been seen before in the land, a fuel engine made of magic materials. In fact, no one is sure how far this engine can go. The earth has no such thing as power. You can’t say that because of the power, this engine has been enchanted with nitrogen...
Maybe this is a good idea. On Earth, the nitrogen-oxygen acceleration system cannot become a routinely used device because the material strength of the engine body cannot withstand high temperatures, high speeds, and long-term operation. But the ones used to make the engine were all specially selected by Lin. They were magic metals that could withstand high temperatures, have sufficient toughness and hardness.
But don’t be too ambitious just yet. In terms of experiments, the engine in front of me is not only the first power device I have built, but it is also full of various experimental ideas. If these work properly, consider the others.
I finally came to my unknown number of test drives, and my confidence this time was even higher than the previous ones. Since there is no specialized horsepower and torque measuring machine, someone can only make a judgment based on the throttle change, speed and maintenance time.
The reason why the previously made engine was rated as failing was because when maintaining the same throttle, the speed would drift and could not be fixed, and sometimes the speed would decrease. It is speculated that the possible reason is due to uneven weight distribution between the crankshaft and the piston.
Because everything is handmade, although there are design drawings and rulers to assist, it is still difficult to avoid slight discrepancies. Especially since dwarves and goblins didn't care about this small difference before.
After experiencing several failures, they began to take this trivial matter seriously. In fact, Lin can understand their approach. Because for a single piston, whether it is a dwarf or a goblin, the weight can be achieved without any deviation, and the shape can be a perfect circle without any deviation. Because they have been constantly thinking about their skills.
But they have never done anything that ultimately combines different parts into a whole. To say something similar, it might be a full-coverage armor. However, good armor makers will make slight adjustments based on the user's habits and physical characteristics, and will not achieve perfect symmetry. The only Chinese website
It can be said that this is the first time that they have to copy their perfect work, and it must be exactly the same without any deviation. In this skill, someone does not have the skills of dwarves and goblins, so he can only do the job that is most likely to be complained about-quality control, the annoying person who is responsible for telling others that the quality of the product is not up to standard.
In this way, after experiencing several failures, Jermaine and Totokani believed that this was not as easy as imagined. And cheer up and be extremely serious. Finally, I have the confident work in front of me.
Speaking of the last engine, they also said it was a confident one. Then it vibrated violently as soon as it was started, and even fell apart in the end. Someone was speechless.
Jermaine skillfully connected measuring instruments to various parts of the engine, poured fuel and lubricating oil into it, and immediately started the engine, which once again had high hopes.
Lubricating oil is refined from animal oil, and it takes a lot of effort to remove the protein content in the oil. But the effect is surprisingly good, not inferior to the synthetic motor oils used on Earth.
After the magic stone that replaced the spark plug had the power to flow through, a slight current was immediately generated, igniting the oil and gas in the cylinder, and the engine quickly started smoothly. At idle, the engine speed remains fairly stable. Moreover, the vibration of the main body is much weaker than the previous trial works. This means that the internal weights are well balanced so there will be no unnecessary vibration.
As the throttle is increased, the amount of oil intake increases, the speed further increases, and the condition is stable. When the oil level in the temporary small fuel tank reached the warning line, the experiment was declared over and successful. This means that a certain amount of fuel has been consumed and everything is in good condition, so there is no need to interrupt the experiment.
If on Earth, the experimental engine had not been tested for tens of thousands of hours of continuous operation, it would have been impossible to commercialize it. But now there is no time, and there is not enough fuel to waste, so Lin directly asked Jermaine and Totokani and his daughter to start making the second engine, while he himself had another job.
But before that, I need to ask the Silverbeard dwarves for something.
"What, you want to take the energy center of the Peace Arms and use it on the airship." Jermaine shouted in surprise.
"Strictly speaking, it's the special magic stone mechanism inside, and the control assembly will remain." Lin Xin calmly replied.
"But in this case, the peaceful armed forces will be scrapped. I cannot agree with this."
"First of all, I have to say that for everyone's lives, Totokani handed over his airship, and I also contributed most of the materials I collected. I just want a special magic stone mechanism from you. I haven't asked for it yet. Dismember the peace arm. Besides, after this period of waiting, do you still have expectations for the natural recovery of the energy center? You have also seen the measured values. From the middle of last year to the present, more than half a year has passed. , the recovery of the energy center is less than 1%. Instead of expecting the peaceful arm to be restored to use while waiting, it is better to find ways to introduce other ways of using power. In fact, since you agreed to my research on the peaceful arm, I have We have a plan, but we haven’t found the right materials yet, so it’s been delayed until now. And if we want to get out alive and repair the peaceful armed force, a special magic stone mechanism is indispensable.”
Lin didn't say anything, and promised to help repair the energy center of the Peace Armed Forces. More importantly, according to the current progress, it may take thousands of years to expect the peaceful armed forces to recover naturally.
To give a simple example, when a person has 100 million yuan in his bank account and he loses 100,000 yuan, the remaining money will be eaten by the bank's living interest. It only takes a few months to make up the loss of 100 million yuan. Ten thousand yuan tied. But if there is only 110,000 yuan in the account, and after losing 100,000 yuan, relying on 10,000 yuan to earn living interest, it will take years and months to restore the account to 110,000 yuan.
This is the problem faced by the peaceful armed forces of the Silverbeard Dwarves.
The special magic stone mechanism that is intended to be used is actually like a battery, responsible for storing a large amount of power. It is just that the battery is currently empty. Lin planned to transform it into a simple energy pool on the airship and connect the entire ship's magic circle. Although it cannot generate its own power, it must at least be able to store it, so that the endurance of the airship can be guaranteed.
The first is to understand the current situation; the second is that the current silver-bearded dwarves are not as tough as before; the third is, as someone said, hoping that the energy center can be restored to a usable state, which may be far away. No deadline. Instead of maintaining the present situation, it is better to believe in this magician again.
So although the Silverbeard dwarves were still reluctant, they still agreed to hand over some parts of the Peace Arms.
