Chapter 18 The Birth of the Screw

After sending the last deceived person away, Xu Yi let out a long breath and stretched.

"Huh, I'm finally finished, I'm so exhausted."

Heinze handed Xu Yi a cup of warm tea and smiled: "Actually, since you have anticipated this situation today, you should call out those students too. If you rely on you alone, you will of course be tired."

Xu Yi shook his head: "That's not possible. The academic in the college is very important to them, and I can't delay them. Besides, the contract signed with them at that time made it clear and it cannot conflict with their class time. Besides, the production of the magic fan is also closely related to them. If they get tired of them, it will be bad."

Heince gave Xu Yi a blank look: "Are you tired?"

"Hey, this little strength is nothing, before..." Xu Yi suddenly stopped.

He originally wanted to say that when he was working on a research institute, he tried to sleep for only four hours in three consecutive days. Compared with that time, this is simply a slight slightest thing now.

But he immediately realized that he was no longer in the original world, and he was afraid he would never return to the previous fanatical atmosphere of research.

Thinking of this, a hint of melancholy flashed through Xu Yi's heart.

Seeing that Xu Yi suddenly became silent and the expression on his face was a little confused, Heince was a little confused, but he knew it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so he fell silent.

For a moment, only the sound of Alex packing things was left in the room.

After a while, Xu Yi suddenly shook his head vigorously and smiled at Heince.

"Sorry, I'm distracted. By the way, where did I just talk about it?"

"You said you can't exhaust those students and affect your childbirth."

"Oh, yes. Speaking of this, Heinzer, you can take time to go to Baron Rector Magic Academy. It is best to recruit some more students. Or you can ask those who have been hired to go back and help promote it. The effect may be better. I will develop the second version of the magic fan soon. Maybe it will start production at the end of this month, and it will probably require a lot of manpower at that time."

"Well, I understand." Heince casually recorded what Xu Yi said in the small notebook he carried with him.

Seeing his actions, Xu Yi couldn't help laughing, because Heince's move was like a competent secretary.

Haiyince was a little puzzled by Xu Yi, but as soon as he opened the book, he remembered another thing.

"By the way, Xu Yi, I asked, there is really nothing like the newspaper you mentioned in Bangta City. The closest one is probably the mansion newspaper sent by the City Lord's Mansion every once in a while. However, that thing is only sent to the nobles and grandpas in the city, and most people can't see it."

"That's it, then forget it, I'll think of other ways to advertise." Xu Yi waved his hand and signaled to put it down in advance. "When it comes to manpower, Heinze, I think we should hire a group of blacksmiths directly."

"Ah?" Heinze was stunned by Xu Yi's jumping thinking. "Hold blacksmiths? Why? If it was to forge a fan shell, wouldn't it be better to pack it with the blacksmith shop in the city?"

"That's too restrictive. If there is a problem with the blacksmith shop in the city, it will be difficult for us to deal with it properly." Xu Yi shook his head and denied it. "Of course, the most important thing is that we need professional staff. I have never been very satisfied with the fan shells made by these blacksmith shops in the city. The quality does not meet my requirements, but it is just because I can't find a replacement. After today's things, have you not discovered that the reason why we easily convinced those people that the magic fans they bought were not from us, but because the magic fans we produced were of better quality? So, if you want to ensure the value of a brand, you must ensure quality."

Heince thought about what happened today and found that Xu Yi was right.

If there was no obvious difference in quality that forced those people to admit that the magic fan they bought was not the same as the new flying magic fan, I'm afraid this matter would not have ended so easily.

"But where did we find a large number of suitable blacksmiths?" Heinzer frowned.

"In fact, we don't have to be particularly skilled, but we need specialized and suitable blacksmiths. Do you understand what I mean?" Xu Yi asked.

"You mean...we just need to hire some blacksmiths who know how to forge and make fan shells for us?"

"Yes, that's what it means. Even..." Xu Yi smiled slightly, and a strange light flashed through his eyes. "In the future, it has developed to a certain extent, and even these specialized blacksmiths don't need too many."

It was already afternoon when he left Heince grocery store. Xu Yi looked up at the sky and thought that he had taken another day off today. He had already taken three days off this week and had not worked in the Magic Tower for nearly half of his time.

"The colleagues in the laboratory must have guessed that I don't want to do it anymore, right? Maybe they would say that I was too stupid and gave up the opportunity to study magic around the Great Magician of Camilla." Xu Yi smiled self-deprecatingly. "But speaking of it, Great Magician of Camilla has never expressed his opinion. If it were someone else's words, he might have been driven out of the magic tower by him."

While guessing the true attitude of the great magician Camilla, Xu Yi walked around several street corners lightly and came to the Volcano Blacksmith Shop again.

As usual, as soon as I walked into the blacksmith shop, a wave of heat came towards me.

"Hey, Master Lanu, then." Xu Yi didn't even look at it and threw the bottle in his hand into the blacksmith shop.

A thick arm stretched out from the heat wave and steadily caught the bottle.

"Boy, didn't you see me working? What if I do it... Huh? Good wine!"

As soon as Master Lanu cursed, he was attracted by the strong aroma of wine spilled out of the wine bottle. Without saying a word, he drank a big mouthful into his mouth.

"Huh... it's such a good wine!" Master Lanu gave out a sip of wine in satisfaction, and then burped it, then looked at Xu Yi. "Hey, boy, this should be the thirty-year-old wine of Sachy Manor? This bottle costs at least five gold coins. You kid won't show your affection. Tell me, what other strange requests are there?"

"What are strange requirements?" Xu Yi shouted and said, "Master Lanu, have you been dissatisfied with the requirements I made before? Don't forget that you agree with it yourself. After modifying according to my requirements, will the effect of the two machines be much better?"

"Hmph! I said that, but you must make me feel good every time you ask."

Xu Yi laughed dryly and looked to the side, his eyes falling on two weirdly shaped machines placed in the corner of the blacksmith shop.

"Wow! Master Lanu, I haven't been here for only two days, and you've actually finished it?"

Xu Yi rushed over excitedly, earned several circles around the two machines, and looked like he saw a baby.

"Hmph! Who am I, Lanu? I am just two machines, how difficult is it?" Master Lanu snorted coldly and took another sip of the wine.

At this time, Xu Yi had already started to carefully inspect these two machines from head to toe.

One of them was naturally a magic tooth rubbing machine he found Master Lanu some time ago and asked him to help make, while the other was a magic headset machine that he later added.

These two machines are important machines for making screws. As long as both machines can operate successfully, the mass production screws envisioned by Xu Yi will become a reality.

Don’t underestimate screws, this thing looks inconspicuous, but it can be seen everywhere in the industrial system and is almost one of the essential materials.

No matter whether it is big or small, complex or simple on the earth, no matter what industrial machinery or industrial products, there are almost any screws included.

Being able to successfully mass-produce screws means that Xu Yi finally took a solid step on the industrial road of Synes mainland!

"Master Lanu, can these two machines be used now?" Xu Yi turned around and asked.

"No, I told you that I've finished it, can't it be used?"

"Very good." Xu Yi picked up a tiny iron pillar in the blacksmith shop, put it in the mold of the header overtime, and then pressed the switch of the header.

No movement.

"Idiot! You didn't even put the magic crystal in, how could you move!" Master Lanu's roar sounded behind you.

Xu Yi slapped his head and realized that he had forgotten the most important thing because he was too excited.

Xu Yi quickly took out a piece of high-level crystal that had been prepared long ago and put it into the power source of the header, and pressed the switch again.

The punch inside the header suddenly made a "bang" sound, and the whole punch flew out at high speed, hitting the top of the iron pillar in the mold.

"Cang——"

A crisp and slightly strange loud noise broke out inside the header, which caused the header to tremble violently. The ground of the entire blacksmith shop also shook a few times with the loud noise, and the momentum was really scary.

Xu Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

Isn’t it just a screw head? As for how earth-shaking it is?

He realized it after a while, pressed the control switch again, and then stroked the punch back to the top.

Xu Yi took out the iron pillar in the mold and was delighted to find that one end of the iron pillar was indeed squeezed into a round head under the huge pressure of the punch, and there was a cross-shaped groove at the top, which was a standard screw head.

"It's not bad." Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction. "Let's try the tooth rubbing machine again."

Compared to simple and rough head-pulling machines, the operation of the tooth rubbing machine is much more complicated.

Although Xu Yi has made many simplifications, as many as four magic arrays have been used on this magic tooth rubbing machine. The drawing of the magic array alone consumes Xu Yi's energy, not to mention perfectly integrating these four magic arrays with the entire machine.

However, when watching the screw bolts quickly carve threads under the cutting of the tool, Xu Yi completely forgot the hard work of studying this machine, and his whole body was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

This is in the Continent of Sains! This is in a world without any industrial foundation!

It is a great achievement to be able to successfully make a screw in this world!

As the most important participant in completing this great project, Xu Yi has enough reason to be proud of it!

Lanu, who was beside him, looked at an ordinary iron pillar that turned into an exquisite and beautiful screw after processing the two machines for a moment, and was filled with surprise.

At first, I just thought the two machines designed by this kid were very strange, so Lanu helped him with the intention of challenging him.

Now seeing the magic of these two machines, Lanu suddenly felt that these two machines might be more important than any iron tool he had built before.

"How did this kid come up with these two machines?" Lanu looked at Xu Yi with curiosity.
