Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 114
Renault looked at Seth with a headache. Recently, he found that this guy is a complete talker. Once he enters the rhythm, Seth will tell all his thoughts in his heart.
Originally, it was nothing. The key was that Seth would tell the story regardless of size. No matter it was important or unimportant, he would take it out and say it again.
No wonder when he first met on the mainland, Renault felt that Seth was particularly talkative, and his courage was all based on his "talkative ability".
However, Seth is not the same for everyone. Only for those who have special trust, will he open this terrible mode of discourse.
Renault is not good enough to attack Seth''s enthusiasm. After listening for a while, Renault can''t stand it any more. He looks at Angela for help.
The girl, who was always watching Renault''s every move, immediately noticed this look. With a light smile, she interrupted Seth''s talk: "Mr. Seth, I heard that the Institute has added some new equipment. Can you introduce it to me?"
Seth was stunned. If someone else put forward such a request, he would certainly ignore it. However, the consul lady is not only the most trusted person of the Lord, but also holds the economic power. Whenever the Institute has material needs, it needs to be approved by the consul lady. Even for this, he can''t refuse her request.
Seth left the others behind, took Renault and Angela out of the test field, took a few turns on the broad slate Road, passed through a transplanted shrub, and walked to a tall building like a factory building.
As Renault approached, he heard the most noisy noise.
For Renault, a mechanical dog, these sounds are too familiar. It''s hard to forget the workshop that has been mixed on the earth for so long.
There is the sound of metal cutting, milling and drilling. This is the factory of Rune Institute.
In addition, he also smelled a strange smell, which is the smell of machine tool coolant.
This kind of coolant is different from similar products on earth. It is the original creation of foreign engineers, and it is also an environmentally friendly and pollution-free coolant.
According to Seth, the main component of the coolant is the extract of Red Alga Sargassum. The oil content in the leaves of this kind of alga is particularly high. Several other components are added to it to get the coolant.
After entering the wide workshop, Renault saw more than ten machine tools, as well as Rune magicians and apprentices in uniform tooling, with several people around each machine tool.
The workshop is very clean and tidy. The layout of machine tools, materials and production lines are strictly in accordance with the lean production mode. Even the walking routes in the workshop are specially marked.
Most of the parts of the machine tools were produced by the Lord himself. In the case of poverty, Renault had to do it himself.
Of course, these are the simplest machine tools with very single functions, but thanks to Renault''s unique ability, their machining accuracy is absolutely not low.
These machine tools also have exotic features, and their power source is magic motive.
Magic machine is a kind of excellent power source with amazing stability. As long as the mental power is continuously input, the speed can be kept constant. After the magic machine is equipped with a gear box, the power of the machine tool will be finished.
The only problem is that the machine tool consumes too much magic stone. In just a few weeks, the magic stone in the warehouse of Lord''s mansion consumed nearly 110.
However, the price is very worthwhile. With more than ten machine tools, this simple workshop can be regarded as one of the most advanced factories in foreign countries.
In other places, manual processing is still popular. Even the black orcs with high industrial level have very low use of machines.
This workshop is also the base for Renault to crack down on black bastards in the future!
In addition, in the process of machine tool development, Renault also encountered a big problem - cutting tools.
When machining metal parts, you can''t use ordinary steel to cut steel, can you? The hardness of the cutting tool must be much stronger than that of steel, otherwise it will wear out soon after use.
In order to make cutting tools, there must be special alloy tool steel, but how can there be such a thing in foreign world?
However, people from other countries also have solutions, which are also very distinctive.
After learning the Lord''s trouble, Seth offered a piece of rare star blue iron, a special metal commonly known as magic iron.
Similar to magic silver, star blue iron is also an iron isotope under the influence of magic energy. Its density is about 10% higher than that of iron. Even according to the most rough calculation, Reynolds can judge that the number of neutrons in star blue iron is much higher than that of normal iron.
The relative atomic mass of iron is 56, including 26 protons and 30 neutrons, while the neutron number of star blue iron is as high as 36.
This makes Renault feel incredible, because on earth, there are three kinds of iron isotopes, with relative atomic masses of 53, 55 and 59 respectively. All of them are radioactive, and the nucleus can''t exist stably and decays all the time.
However, in the alien world, iron 62 (star blue iron) with higher relative atomic mass can exist stably!Obviously, from the "magic iron" and "Magic Silver", we can see that under the influence of high-dimensional space, the laws of physics in the micro field have changed beyond recognition.
The star blue iron has a very high degree of recognition. It is blue black, and its surface is always flashing with dots of blue light. It looks very mysterious, which is why it is named "star blue".
Xinglan iron is a kind of associated ore of iron ore. its output is very low, so its price is very expensive.
Its physical and mechanical properties are very excellent, yield strength, tensile strength, hardness and other performance indicators are at least 15 times than ordinary steel, and corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, salt spray resistance, is simply super stainless steel.
After adding a small amount of star blue iron into ordinary steel, the physical properties will also have a great leap.
Three thousandth of the star blue iron was added to these machine tools, and their performances suddenly increased by more than three times, which is not inferior to those on earth.
But star blue iron also has a disadvantage, its melting point is too high, to melt it, you need an "invisible" flame.
Of course, "invisible" is just an alien saying, it actually refers to the temperature of tens of thousands of degrees above the ultraviolet, that is to say, the melting point of stellar blue iron is as high as tens of thousands of degrees.
Because the temperature of the flame determines the color, the red flame only has more than 3000 degrees at most, the purple flame is as high as more than 7000 degrees, and the only one with higher temperature is ultraviolet. (don''t discuss the flame reaction)
in this world, if you want to reach the melting point of star blue iron, the general means are not good at all. You must "conquer the devil with magic", that is, use the rare "magic wood".
"Magic wood" is not a kind of wood, but the general name of all magic energy variation wood. This kind of wood contains special energy, and the flame temperature generated when burning is extremely high.
But for Renault, it''s just a piece of cake. It''s only tens of thousands of degrees. It doesn''t matter in the face of [reverse heat conduction].
With them, Seth went straight to a cutting machine in the corner.
There are four apprentices working next to the machine tool. They see three people coming. Among them are Lord and Lord Seth. They bow and salute in a hurry.
Seth nodded and waved them away.
"Madam consul, this is a machine tool imitated by the Institute based on the prototype machine made by your Lord..."
At this point, Seth showed a trace of embarrassment.
"Although we have debugged it many times, the error is still too large, more than 20 wires, far less than 1 wire of the prototype machine. It can only be used for rough machining, and the final finishing still depends on those prototypes..."
The girl blinked her eyes. She suddenly found that she could understand every word Seth said, but she couldn''t understand it after connecting it.
What is error, rough machining and finish machining?
20 silk is bigger than 1 silk, isn''t it good?
But Seth didn''t realize it and continued to explain himself.
Renault, seeing the loss on the girl''s face, sighs and interrupts Seth.
"Angela, the essence of industrialization is to improve the substitutability of parts. Industrialization that can''t satisfy this point is meaningless..."
At this point, he flicked his right finger, and a piece of cast iron in the distance suddenly floated in front of him. Part of the cast iron melted, shaped and cooled at a very fast speed, and finally turned into two gun barrels.
"In other words, we make so many machine tools, formulate various tolerance standards, and work out the technological process. The ultimate goal is to make this gun barrel replace another one at any time."
"You can try to install it..."
Renault thought, cast iron and separated a piece of molten liquid, forming a slot like parts, and then three parts are automatically suspended in front of the girl.
The girl curiously took a gun barrel and installed it in the card slot. The installation position was very perfect and almost no gap could be seen. She tried to install another gun barrel and found that it was the same.
Gazing at the parts in her hand, the girl is thoughtful. As a mechanical white, Renault''s demonstration method is not only intuitive, but also easy to understand, which makes her understand at once.
If the spare parts of similar products can be replaced at will, there are too many advantages. Not only the repair becomes extremely easy, but also the logistics management is countless times more convenient.
What''s more, the output can be greatly improved. No matter how many products are produced, there are only a few kinds of parts. Just repeat the same production process.
In this world, the traditional way of production is more similar to hand-made, there is more or less a little difference between different products, and the replaceability is very low.
Renault smiles and continues to explain: "the purpose of what we usually call precision is to ensure substitutability..."
"You see, guns have a very high requirement for air tightness. If you want to ensure substitutability, then the difference between gun barrels must be very small..."
"The word" little difference "here is a concept of precision, but it is not a quantifiable word and can not accurately express precision...""In order to express the accuracy accurately, I" created "some mathematical units, such as silk and micron, and also" invented "some special measuring tools, such as this vernier caliper..."
He waved his hand, a vernier caliper on the distant table suddenly floated up and flew to his palm.
"Here is the vernier caliper..."
This is shameless!
Renault said "plagiarism" as "creation" and "invention"
But Seth nodded his head and looked at Renault with adoration: "Lord, you are a genius. These great inventions have solved the greatest trouble of the magicians in hundreds of years..."
