Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 119: Chapter 117: The Third Generation of Magic Hammer Forging Machine (asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)
Last year, after the magic hammer forging machine was initially formed, Loyi pointed out two further directions to Lilia.

First of all, it is the stamping machine and the integrated die-casting technology, which I won’t talk about.

The second is the individualization and integration of the magic hammer forging machine. The goal is to directly graft the energy and magic patterns onto the machine, using "magic crystals" as energy drive.

The advantage of doing this is that you won't need a magic energy pool in the future, and it will be much more convenient to move, relocate, and use.

You can move it anywhere and use it!

But it turns out that this path is not feasible either.

The reason is simple. On the one hand, the technical requirements are difficult to achieve.

The magic energy pool drives the magic energy hammer forging machine through the universal power machine, which is the conversion of magic energy and power.

In other words, if integration is really desired, the small magic hammer forging machine must be equipped with magic crystals and a power conversion system, which would be too cumbersome.

The second is the customers of the Lightninger Magic Machinery Factory, who are either machinery factories like Damon, or those mechanical mages who think it is worthy of in-depth research and use.

Both of them have no shortage of magic energy pools, universal power machines and magic power, so individualization and integration are really unnecessary!

Facts have proved that even Luo Yi, although knowledgeable, has to be based on reality.

The saying that practice makes perfect is the hard truth.

Damon's factory is now equipped with six magic hammer forging machines, and the number of hundred-forged steel weapons that can be produced every month has reached an astonishing hundreds.

He has even gathered master blacksmiths to prepare for the breakthrough to the level of Ten Thousand Forged Weapons.

As long as it is successful, even if it is taken to the imperial capital, it can be included in the highest level auction.

For this kind of weapon, the cloud pattern inside it has an astonishing level of fighting spirit retention rate and operating efficiency.

Even a legendary strong man is worthy of it.

To be precise, legendary warriors might have more powerful holy weapons, but I'm afraid no one has ever seen such a pure weapon.

The Wanforged Weapon recorded in history was created by a dwarf blacksmith who spent his entire life and twenty-three years on it.

But now, with the magic hammer forging machine, Damon felt that he could finally hope for this almost impossible thing.

As long as it succeeds, his machinery factory will definitely become famous.

However, although Damon praised the magic hammer forging machine highly, he also had one thing that he disagreed with.

Those are the six knobs of 'up, down, light, heavy, urgent, and urgency'. They require magic to be activated every time they are used, and those blacksmiths cannot use them.

The result was that when an iron ingot was folded and struck several times, the mage apprentice had to help adjust the height and strength over and over again.

It would be fine if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too many times, the mage apprentice will be annoyed, and the blacksmith will be even more annoyed, and their efficiency will be greatly reduced.

For this, Damon not only complained several times, but also got really angry.

He even spent a large sum of money to hire teachers from the magic academy to teach the group of blacksmiths magic knowledge and basic meditation.

Moreover, he also promised that if there was a blacksmith who could learn basic meditation and control the magic hammer and forge independently, he would give a raise!
Just giving half of what a wizard apprentice gets would definitely be very attractive to a group of blacksmiths.

Look, look, look, Damon has forced them to start spending their own money for job training. They are really desperate.

Douglas Hill's in-depth optimization and iterative update of the magic hammer forge are all on this knob.

He wanted to invent a knob that any mortal blacksmith could use!
Apparently, it has!
Looking closely, there was a magical fluorescent light flashing on the knob, which never stopped. It was obvious that there was no need for magic resonance to drive it.

Luo Yi was also surprised and turned to ask, "How did you solve it? Tell me about it?"

Roy asked this question almost instinctively, while Douglas Hill looked melancholy and didn't speak for a long time.

"Is it inconvenient to talk about it? Or is it some advanced technology that I don't understand?"

Douglas opened his mouth but didn't say anything. However, Lilia turned around and said, "It's not that it's inconvenient to say it, but it's actually too simple to say it."

Luo Yi was startled: "Lilia, why are you here too?"

"I've been here. The Ancient Moon Mage Tower is too boring. I can learn more here."

Lilia didn't want to say more, but pointed at the knob of the magic hammer and said, "Actually, it's worthless to say it, that is, every time you use the knob before, you need to infuse magic power and activate it before you can connect and use it.

But if we just change our thinking a little bit and keep the circulation of magic energy going and don't let it get disconnected, won't it be useful?"

"So simple?"

"Yes! It's that simple. At most it will cause a little waste of magic power, but compared to the convenience it brings in operation, it's nothing!"

Luo Yi was puzzled: "If it's so simple, why did it take so long?"

"Maybe it's because wizards look down on Muggles?!"

This was Douglas Hill's answer. He had returned to normal and said, "I am going to apply for a patent for this device and write a paper to send to the Imperial Ministry of Magic.

Although it is just a small invention, I think it can solve many problems and is worthy of being published in the Imperial Journal! "

"If we want the magic machinery to develop rapidly, we must expand our team. Therefore, this kind of setting to guard against Muggles should be eradicated from the root."

Luo Yigao glanced at Douglas and said, "If you write this in your paper, I'm afraid someone will think you have ulterior motives!"

"But this is conducive to the development of magical machinery, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, you can handle these things. But..." Luo Yi seemed to have thought of something, and he smiled and said, "From today on, the magic hammer forging machine of our Leitninger Magic Machinery Factory has been developed to the third generation.

The third generation! Hehehehe, I can make money again!"

At the Lightninger Magic Machinery Factory, the original machine is considered the first generation, independently developed by Lilia. There is only one now, in Damon's machinery factory.

The second generation refers to the one optimized by Douglas, mainly in terms of magic arrays and magic pattern arrangements, saving 30% of material costs.

No doubt, all the ones produced nowadays are of this generation.

The last three generations are this one!

"Make money?"

Douglas was stunned and asked in confusion: "Can this make money?

I also said that we should pick a time to replace all of Damon’s switch knobs, so that it will be easier for them to operate in the future.”

Luo Yi looked puzzled and asked, "Change? Why change? Why should I change it for him?"

"The second and third generation of the Magic Hammer Forging Machine are clearly two different products. In the future, if customers want the second generation, we will give them the second generation. If they want the third generation, they will have to pay more!"

“The price of the second generation is 1000 gold tyres, so I want the price of the third generation to be 1200 gold tyres, isn’t that too much?

As for upgrading, of course you can, but that's another business.

Just tell Damon that we will offer a friendly price of 100 gold tees per unit, and our chief designer, Mr. Douglas Hill, will help him upgrade and optimize and solve his problems.”

Douglas Hill was stunned when he heard this. Even with his vicious heart, he felt that this was not a fair thing to do.

"Isn't this a bit bad?"

"What's not good about it! You've been researching for so long, taking all the time, energy, and materials, which one doesn't cost money?

We solved the problem and got some compensation from the customers, that’s for sure!”

“Only in this way can we have the motivation for research and development, and only in this way can we invest more in the future, and only in this way can magic energy machinery have greater development.

Tell me, what's wrong with what I said?"

Douglas was confused. He blinked and scratched his head. After a long while, he said, "I always feel that you are making up stories.

But, I think what you said makes some sense!"

On the side, Lilia summed it up in one sentence: "Swindler!"

Then, Douglas and Roy looked at each other and laughed, and their loud laughter echoed throughout the laboratory.

Luo Yi never thought of himself as a gentleman. He was not stingy with money, but he knew the importance of making money.

So, he is a profiteer, no doubt about it!
Douglas Hill was actually considered an outlier among the magic mechanics. He had a very bad reputation and was ridiculed by others.

But his sincerity towards magical machinery is beyond doubt.

At this moment, they actually felt a sense of mutual sympathy.

Of course, Luo Yilai had a mission, so he put the matter of the third-generation magic hammer forging machine aside and took out his own drawings.

A document about blast furnace steelmaking, which had high technical requirements and involved the conversion of magic energy and thermal energy, was of course given to Douglas Hill.

Another one about the stamping machine. The mold is actually not a big deal. The main thing is to find enough high-temperature resistant material.

This task was relatively easy, so it was given to Lilia Leitninger.

After receiving the information, both of them were stunned.

Lilia even asked: "So, you're researching a new topic?"

Luo Yi said as a matter of course: "Of course, you still want to stay where you are?"

"The world of magical machinery is so vast and boundless. We have only just set sail, and you want to slack off?"

“Let me tell you, what you hold in your hands are all groundbreaking magical machines.

As long as we can manufacture it, we will gain not only money but also status.

Even thousands of years later, we will leave a strong mark in history books because of these magic machines, and countless future generations will extol our deeds."

"So, just for this, can you still sleep?"

Douglas Hill looked at the information in his hand, then looked at Roy, and then looked at the information in his hand again.

He said: "I clearly know that you are using me as a laborer, but I am actually excited about it!"

Having said that, he turned around and left. He left decisively, even a little anxiously!

Lilia also came to Luo Yi, raised her head, took the information, and turned away.

Luo Yi suddenly realized something and hurriedly said, "Lilia, my love, am I here to take you back?"

"No, I can concentrate on my studies here. If I go home, you'll always make trouble.

So, I’m not leaving.”

"Don't worry, don't worry, you can't leave me!"

　Capitalist tactics!
