The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

On the day of the celebration banquet, after classmate Megadon said that classmate Medivh was preparing for a lucrative project, many people were curious about what this mysterious guy had tossed about.

After dinner that day, many people followed the expert group led by Professor Erbach to the small workshop where someone worked.

Charles has been waiting here for a long time, and immediately greeted everyone to come in after the leaders arrived.

The original messy workshop was cleaned up. A row of wooden machines lined up neatly against the wall. The corresponding blueprints and patent certificates were attached to the wall, but they were all covered with red cloth. On the top there are slogans such as "Fire protection, safe for life" and "No smoking", which look like the same thing.

Professor Erbach said to him: "I won't talk nonsense, just show what you have to make money, maybe I will invest some pension in it."

Charles keeps a smile on his face and slander in his heart, isn't all your old pension fund invested in that confidential project?

He was not polite and took everyone directly to the first machine and tore off the red cloth.

This machine is square, with two rows of staggered wheels on the left, a rectangular manipulator in the middle, and three squares arranged in the shape of "Pin" on the right, connected behind the squares The structure is the same as the cylinder, and the empty space in the middle is a collecting trough.

Charles said to everyone: "Guess what this machine does. The first one who guesses right, I will invite you to dinner."

Everyone turned their attention to Principal, the leader Everyone will not rush to answer before speaking out.

I have to say that Professor Erbach's observation and judgment of machinery is very powerful. After studying this machine carefully, he said: "This is a nail-making machine."

p>

After the leader finished speaking, everyone laughed and praised Principal for his humor.

It's just a nail, a little bauble, it needs to be so complicated.

But these all are people who study magic, only a few people who study metal materials and processing have another performance.

They were observing the model of the machine facial expression grave. A few days ago, Professor Batisia, who planned to empty the mithril golden chicken, carefully touched the groove on the wooden block with the word "Pin". Then he was surprised: "I really make iron nails!"

As a material science expert, he has studied the materials used to make iron nails.

Don't look at the small iron nails, but they are used in huge amounts in the whole society, but it is very troublesome to make them by hand.

Thin iron bars have to make flat tails and pointed heads, but they are meticulous. In general blacksmiths, men strike iron and women make small things such as nails.

Professor Batizia studied the process of casting iron nails when he was a student. The large iron nails used in ships are fine, but there is no way to make small nails such as furniture. The molten iron cannot flow into the mold. At the position of the small and medium nail heads, there is no way to get out the air there. It is more troublesome to use complicated molds than to make nails, so I had to give up in the end.

In Charles' hometown, it is not an exaggeration to describe the country as a poor country and use a nail to make it as an example.

Mechanical nails did not appear until the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Prior to this, the iron nails were not cheap.

Professor Battizia asked Charles: "How long does it take your machine to make a nail?"

Charles tore off the red cloth covering the blueprint of the nail machine. Begin to introduce the principle of the machine: "The wire enters from the left, and the manipulator in the middle grasps and transmits it. After passing through the straightening machine on the left, it enters the right side. The manipulator first extends the wire for a short section. This section of the wire is hammered into a flat tail, and then the manipulator stretches out a large section of the wire. At this time, the molds on both sides are clamped and the wire is clipped. The broken part is the pointed end of the nail."

"Except for the straightening machine. , Other parts are manipulated by magic power active materials, and the power is sufficient."

"By adjusting the diameter of the wire, the mold and the movement of the manipulator, small nails of different specifications can be produced."

"For speed, my ideal speed is three or four per second. At present, it is estimated that it can be one or two per second."

I have only been a wire drawing machine in recent years. Mass-produced from the Forging Temple, the output of iron wire has been greatly increased, otherwise he would not come out of the nail machine, otherwise there is no material.

Professor Battsia immediately said: "My pension is invested in this nail machine."

Charles said with a smile: "Professor, don’t worry, this There is still a problem with the machine. The anti-rust treatment of the nails has not yet arrived. I am afraid that the prospects are not so bright."

Professor Batsya also laughed and said: "It's not just anti-rust. I have a way. You hurry up and build the machine, when the time comes, we will join hands."

Charles can only say: "Then there will be Professor Law."

Professor Ya said: "It's easy to say, the Principal has guessed what the machine does. You can bring me when you invite him to dinner."

Who knows Professor Erbach said: "Where am I? If you have time to eat, let Heidi eat this meal for me."

The friendly atmosphere of the scene changed suddenly, and the amount of information was too much.

Professor Batizia hurriedly said: "Yeah, we are really busy these days. You don't have to wait for me to go to dinner. I will talk about it when we build a nail workshop."

Charles pretended not to hear, he led everyone to the second machine.

The red cloth is torn off. This machine is two meters high. The thick brackets set up two large cylinders. One of them is covered, and the other side by side is stretched out. A solid wooden stake looks like an extra-large Microscope, with a ring of iron around its base and an internal combustion engine behind it.

Before Charles let everyone guess, Heidi, who was standing next to Professor Erbach, said, "This is what you said when you were in...Count Megadon territory, the real good guy for ironing. Right?"

The crowd onlookers are either experts or scholars. They have excellent brains. One or two suddenly "hehehe". They know about Heidi's escape to the Megadon Family territory, but see you there. I don’t know about Medivh.

Charles was too lazy to deal with those guys. He said, "This is an air hammer, for forging. Although it is made of wood, it can demonstrate the principle."

He opened it. Switch, the magic power circuit of the internal combustion engine on the ground is connected, it drives a "Z"-shaped connecting rod to rotate through the gear box, and the other section of the rotating connecting rod is connected to a wooden strip, which drives the compression that is covered by the brackets on both sides. The piston in the cylinder reciprocates.

Then he stepped on the iron ring next to the base and opened the two vent valves at the top and bottom of the two large cylinders above through a lever and a connecting rod.

The reciprocating compression piston carried by the internal combustion engine squeezes the gas in the compression cylinder into the working cylinder next to it. When the compression piston moves down, the high-pressure air is squeezed to the side work through the vent valve below. At the bottom of the cylinder, the working piston is lifted up, and the stake connected to the working piston is lifted at the same time; when the compression piston moves upward, the air at the top of the compression cylinder is pressed into the top of the working cylinder, and the working piston is pressed down by force, which is connected to it. The stake was hammered heavily and hit the cutting board below.

Considering that this model is made of wood, Charles adjusted the gearbox and connecting rod so that its percussion frequency was about 1 Hz, and the percussion strength was suitable for rice cakes.

But this is enough. The eyes of those who are knowledgeable at the scene are staring and drooling.

Professor Erbach immediately gave instructions: "From today, they are forbidden to contact Charles. If that guy knows the existence of this machine, he will definitely be tied back!"

Then he said to Charles seriously, "Don't think I'm joking, he does this kind of thing, when the time comes, he dares to shut you down for a lifetime."

Charles scratched his head and agreed with the Principal to agree.

Professor Erbach said: "Let’s see the same."

The next machine is placed on the table. The cylinder is about the size of an arm, and a pointed wooden pole is inserted at the end of the cylinder.

Charles pointed to it and said: "This is an internal combustion engine pickaxe. On top of it is a small internal combustion engine. The rotation of the internal combustion engine drives the crankshaft, and the crankshaft drives the connecting rod to reciprocate. The hammer at one end of the connecting rod hits the pickaxe. In this way, the rock can be broken apart relatively easily, and it can be used in the mine."

He forgot the principle of the pneumatic pick, and remembered that there was a gasoline engine pick on the construction site before, so he came up with this Internal combustion engine picks.

With the large-scale use of various machines, the amount of metal and coal will inevitably increase significantly, so it is imperative to improve mining efficiency.

So Charles came up with this internal combustion engine pick, which is much more efficient than manual mining.

Professor Erbach took a deep breath and said: "It is the most correct decision in my life to recruit you to our Academy. There is no one."

They all agreed that just using one of these three types of machines would have allowed the Academy to be awesome in machine manufacturing for many years. Some people even suggested Charles to squeeze toothpaste as slowly as possible, instead of putting out all the good things all at once.

Then someone refuted this view on the spot. Medivh would go home to inherit the throne in the future. When he graduated and returned to the country to deal with government affairs, he would make such bad comments that he was not doing his job properly.

Someone sighed that Medivh would concentrate on studying the machine in the future, and his accomplishment was higher than that of being a king.

So someone immediately jumped out to help eliminate the anti-thief. When the time comes, the "white gloves" that sold these machines were given to me.

It's just that someone poured cold water on the spot. When the "white gloves" was your turn, Count Megadon had already taken action.

Charles smiled and watched them making a fuss. The professors of didn't expect academy were serious in the classroom, and they were funny in private. It should be nice to let them play funny movies someday.

Professor Erbach can't stand it anymore, he said to Charles: "Go, let's see what else is good."

Charles vaccinated everyone in advance , Said: "The next things may disappoint everyone, because they don't look so tall."
