Chapter 138 Lord Lord is really a genius

Renault glanced at Seth with a headache. Only recently did he realize that this guy is simply a silly talker. Once he enters the rhythm, Seth will speak out all the thoughts in his heart.

Originally it was nothing. The key is that when Seth talked about it, he would tell him regardless of whether it was an important matter or a trivial incident.

It’s no wonder that when he first met on the mainland, Renault felt that Seth was particularly talkative, and his courage was all based on this “talking ability”.

But Seth is not like that for everyone. Only if he trusts people in particular, he will start this terrible chattering mode.

Renault was not good at hitting Seth’s enthusiasm. After listening for a while, Renault really couldn’t stand it. He looked at Angela for help.

The girl who was always paying attention to Renault’s every move immediately noticed the look in her eyes. She chuckled and interrupted Seth’s endless talk: “Mr. Seth, I heard that the institute has added several new equipment to May I introduce it?”

Seth was taken aback. If someone else made such a request, he would definitely ignore it, but the consul lady is not only the person whom the lord trusts the most, but also holds the power of the economy in one hand. As long as the institute has material needs, it must be governed. Even if Miss Guan’s approval was directed at this point, he couldn’t refuse her request.

Seth left the others behind, took Renault and Angela out of the testing ground, turned a few bends on the wide stone road, walked through a transplanted bush, and walked towards a tall building like a factory.

Renault had just approached and immediately heard an extremely loud noise.

For Renault, the mechanical dog, these sounds are too familiar. It is hard to forget in the workshop that has been around for so long on the earth.

There is the sound of metal cutting, milling, and the sound of a drilling machine. This place is the manufacturing plant of the Rune Research Institute.

In addition, he smelled a strange smell, which was the smell of machine tool coolant.

This kind of coolant is different from similar products on the earth, it is the original creation of engineers from outside world, and it is also an environmentally friendly and pollution-free coolant.

According to Seth, the main component of the cooling liquid is the extract of red algae horsetail. The oil content in the leaves of this seaweed is extremely high, and several other ingredients are added to the cooling liquid.

After entering the wide workshop, Renault saw more than ten machine tools, as well as rune magicians and apprentices wearing uniform tooling. Each machine tool was surrounded by several people.

The workshop is very clean and tidy. The placement of machine tools and materials, and the layout of the production line are strictly in accordance with the lean production model. Even the walking routes in the workshop are specially marked.

Most of the parts of the machine tool were picked out by the lord himself. In a poor situation, Renault had to do it himself.

Of course, these are just the simplest machine tools with very single functions, but thanks to Renault’s unique capabilities, their machining accuracy is definitely not low.

These machine tools also have alien characteristics, and their power source is the magic motive.

The magic motive is really an excellent power source with amazingly high stability. As long as the mental power is continuously input, the speed can be kept constant. After the magic motive is equipped with a gear box, the power of the machine tool is fixed.

The only problem is that the machine tool consumes too much magic stone. In just a few weeks, the magic stone in the Lord’s Mansion warehouse has consumed nearly 1/10.

However, the price is very worthwhile. With only more than ten machine tools, this simple workshop can be regarded as the most advanced factory in the alien world, and there is no one.

In other places, purely manual processing methods are still popular, even the black orcs with a high level of industry use machines to a very low level.

This workshop is where Renault’s confidence lies in beating the black **** in the future!

In addition, during the development of the machine tool, Renault also encountered a big problem-the tool.

When machining metal parts, you can’t use ordinary steel to cut steel, right? The hardness of the tool must be much stronger than that of steel, otherwise it will wear out after a short period of time.

To make knives, there must be special alloy tool steel, but how can there be such a thing in another world?

However, the people of different worlds also have a solution, and this method is also very characteristic of other worlds.

After learning of Lord Lord’s troubles, Seth took the initiative to donate a large piece of rare star blue iron, which is a special metal commonly known as “magic iron”.

Similar to magic silver, star blue iron is also an isotope of iron that appears under the influence of magic energy. Its density is about 10% higher than that of iron. Even according to the roughest calculation, Renault can judge that the star The number of neutrons in blue iron is much higher than that of normal iron.

The relative atomic mass of iron atoms is 56, including 26 protons and 30 neutrons, while the number of neutrons in star blue iron is as high as 36.

This makes Reynolds unbelievable, because there are three isotopes of iron on the earth, with relative atomic masses of 53, 55, and 59. All of them are radioactive. The nucleus cannot exist stably and decay all the time.

But in another world, iron 62 (star blue iron), which has a higher relative atomic mass, can exist stably!

Obviously, it can be seen from the “magic iron” and “magic silver” that under the influence of high-dimensional space, the laws of physics in the microscopic domain have become completely unrecognizable.

Star blue iron is very recognizable. It is blue-black, and its surface is always shining with blue light. It looks mysterious and very mysterious. This is why it is named “Star Blue”.

Star blue iron is a kind of associated ore of iron ore, with very low output, so the price is very expensive.

Its physical and mechanical properties are very excellent. Its yield strength, tensile strength, hardness and other performance indicators are at least 15 times that of ordinary steel, and it is resistant to corrosion, acid and alkali, and salt spray. It is simply super stainless steel.

When ordinary steel is mixed with a small amount of star blue iron, the physical properties will also have a great leap.

This batch of machine tools was added with three-thousandths of the star blue iron, and the performance suddenly increased by more than three times, which is not much inferior to the tools on the earth.

But star blue iron also has a shortcoming. Its melting point is incredibly high. To smelt it, an “invisible” flame is needed.

Of course, “invisible” is just a statement from a stranger. It actually refers to ultraviolet rays with a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees, that is to say, the melting point of star blue iron is as high as tens of thousands of degrees.

Because the temperature of the flame determines the color, the red flame is only more than 3,000 degrees Celsius at most, and the purple flame is as high as more than 7,000 degrees. The higher temperature is only ultraviolet rays. (Do not discuss flame reaction)

In this world, if you want to reach the melting point of the star blue iron, ordinary methods are simply impossible, and you must “conquer the magic with magic”, that is, use the rare “magic wood”.

“Magic wood” is not a kind of wood, but a collective term for all magical mutant woods. This type of wood contains special energy, and the flame temperature generated when it burns is extremely high.

However, the headaches for people in other worlds are just a piece of cake for Renault. It is only tens of thousands of degrees, and it is not a problem in the face of [Reverse Heat Conduction].

Seth took the two of them and walked straight to a cutting machine in the corner.

There were four apprentices working beside the machine tool. Seeing the three of them arrived, and among them, Lord Lord and His Excellency Seth, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Seth nodded and waved for them to leave.

“Miss Archon, this is a prototype machine made by the research institute based on your lord, and a machine tool imitated…”

At this point, Seth showed a trace of confidence.

“Although we have debugged it many times, its error is still too large. It exceeds 20 wires, which is far less than the 1 wire of the prototype machine. It can only be used for rough machining, and the final finishing has to rely on those few sets. Prototype…”

The girl blinked her eyes, and suddenly she realized that Seth could understand every word she said, but after connecting, she couldn’t understand it at all.

What exactly are errors, roughing, and finishing?

20 silk is obviously larger than 1 silk, isn’t it bad?

But Seth continued to explain without realizing it.

Renault saw the man on the girl’s face and then sighed secretly, interrupting Seth.

“Angela, the essence of industrialization is actually to improve the substitutability of parts and components. Industrialization that cannot satisfy this point is meaningless…”

Having said this, he flicked his right finger, and a piece of cast iron in the distance suddenly floated in front of his eyes. The cast iron partly melted, formed and cooled at a very fast speed, and finally turned into two barrels.

“In other words, we manufacture so many machine tools, formulate various tolerance standards, and compile technological processes. The ultimate goal is to allow this barrel to be replaced with another one at any time.”

“You can try to install…”

With a thought to Renault, another piece of molten metal was separated from the cast iron to form a slot-like part, and then the three parts were automatically suspended in front of the girl.

The girl curiously took a barrel and installed it in the slot. The installation position fits perfectly, and there is almost no gap. She tried to install another barrel and found that the same was true.

Staring at the parts in her hand, the girl was thoughtful. As a complete mechanical novice, Renault’s presentation was not only intuitive, but also easy to understand, allowing her to understand it all at once.

If the parts on similar products can be replaced at will, there are too many benefits. Not only repair becomes extremely easy, but logistics management is also countless times more convenient.

More importantly, the output can be greatly improved. No matter how many products are produced, there are only a few types of parts, and only the same production process needs to be repeated.

In this world, traditional production methods are more similar to hand-made, with more or less differences between different products and extremely low replaceability.

Renault smiled slightly and continued to explain: “The purpose of what we usually call precision is to ensure substitutability…”

“You see, firearms have extremely high requirements for air tightness. To ensure substitutability, the difference in barrels must be very small…”

“The ‘small difference’ here is a concept of precision, but it cannot be a quantified word and cannot accurately express precision…”

“In order to accurately express accuracy, I’created’ some mathematical units, such as silk and micrometers, and also’invented’ some special measuring tools, such as this vernier caliper…”

He waved his hand, and a vernier caliper on the table in the distance suddenly floated and flew automatically to the palm of his hand.

“Here, this is the vernier caliper…”

This shameless!

Renault actually speaks of “plagiarism” as “creation”, “invention”…

But Seth nodded his head and looked at Renault with admiration: “Lord Lord is really a genius. These great inventions have solved the biggest troubles of the magicians in hundreds of years…”
