Chapter 49:48: Magical Machinery-Forging Hammer (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

The next day, early morning.

Oliveira went to the nearest police station and brought a group of city guards to drag back the half-dead pirates and swordsmen.

It is worth mentioning that the leader was Captain Weiner. He was not from this area and it was unknown why he was transferred here.

With him around, Oliveira has less unnecessary nonsense.

However, when Werner saw the pirates and swordsmen, his expression changed. Then he looked at Oliveira and felt so relieved.

As for Luo Yi, he did not show up at all. Instead, he was on the second floor, having an academic discussion on magical machinery with Teacher Lilia.
-
19 Lombard Street, second floor, study.

"I think I understand what you mean, but what is the use of this design you made?"

Lilia's voice sounded, still gentle, but her words were filled with doubt.

She sat behind the desk, taking Loy's place, her body straight, showing off her beautiful curves.

At one side, Luo Yi was lying on the desk. The two were very close to each other, but there was no ambiguous atmosphere. Instead, they both looked serious.

Luo Yi held a pen in one hand, gesturing on the paper, and kept explaining: "Teacher Lilia, I don't know if you have ever seen blacksmithing?
In the blacksmith shop, the blacksmiths who forge weapons or farm tools will continuously remove impurities from the iron by heating and hammering.

Then they hammer out different shapes, and finally quench, grind, sharpen, etc...."

"There are many specific steps and even more knowledge involved, but from my observation, the most time-consuming and troublesome part is the complicated hammering of the iron."

"It takes a mature blacksmith master, with several apprentices, to hammer and refine the iron repeatedly to get relatively qualified fine iron."

"This process can take as short as one or two days or as long as several days, depending on the quality of the iron material.

Blacksmiths are also human beings. This process consumes the most energy and is also the main reason why forging efficiency cannot be improved."

“So, I came up with this idea!”

When Luo Yi said this, Lilia understood: "According to your idea, you want to use this magic energy machine to achieve the effect of repeatedly hammering iron.

This is a good idea. With magic power driving the gears, the hammer will move back and forth. The blacksmith only needs to hold the iron with pliers and repeatedly change the position where the hammer needs to be hammered. "

Luo Yi's understanding of tools is beyond the imagination of people in this world.
It's not that he has any great ability or a high level of thought, it's just that he has been here, seen, and experienced...

He has a lot to offer in terms of mechanical design ideas and concepts. He can even give some advice on advanced warships and submarines.

But the development of industry is actually the explosion of the maturity of many technologies. Even if he takes out the design drawings of the aircraft now, it does not mean that he can build it.

Today's industrial base simply does not allow this.

Therefore, if he wants to get involved in the magic machinery industry, he must come up with a new design that is both simple and practical, and has great effects.

After much thought, Luo Yi chose the smelting industry, the most labor-intensive link.

So, in his spare time, he drew a design, and its standard scientific name should be: small air forging hammer for single body!

To put it simply, there is an anvil below and a forging hammer on top, which is driven by magic to make the forging hammer move back and forth.

Of course, the part about magic-driven power is completely blank.

Lilia had originally planned to return to the Magic Academy at dawn, but after seeing the blueprint, she couldn't move.

She was not proficient in magic, had only used magic firearms a few times, and had no experience in fighting others.

But she is still an outstanding graduate of the Philante School of Magic because she specializes in magical machinery.

Just looking at the blueprint, Lilia's eyes lit up.

For the first time, she felt that Luo Yi was not a warrior who only knew how to kill, but a fellow traveler like her who had many ideas in the field of magical machinery.

And then, this scene happened.

Lilia's eyes brightened. After a brief thought, she said, "Your idea is very interesting. However, your design did not take into account the connection to the universal power machine. This is wrong."

"You should do this, this, and this, and you can convert the magic energy into kinetic energy for the hammer."

Luo Yi immediately said: "Teacher Lilia, your design is actually based on the function of the magic energy pool, plus the transmission and conversion of the universal power machine, isn't it a bit too wasteful?

This scale is too large, it must be a magic power factory, can we simplify it?"

"For example, we can directly concentrate the magic patterns on the machine and then drive it with magic crystals. In this way, moving, transporting, installing and fine-tuning it will be much more convenient, right?"

"That's what I said, but it may not be easy to achieve!"

"Why is it not easy? Magic firearms can carve magic patterns on such a small area, so how can I not do it with such a large forging hammer?" "You are just talking nonsense, which is ridiculous. Magic firearms pursue the imbalance of the four elements and the explosion in a very small range.

The requirements for your forging hammer are completely different, there is no comparison at all."

"Then change the requirement. For example, you can adjust the speed, such as the frequency of the forging hammer falling."

"As for this, we can think of a solution. I think it can be done this way..."

"Also, the strength of the forging hammer should be finely adjustable. My initial idea is to use the weight of each hammer as the unit of measurement. Do you think that's okay?"

"You're asking for so much!"

"I just wanted to design it better. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Lilia."

"Then let me think about it again. Let me think about it again..."

The two of them discussed back and forth, and the topic became more and more in-depth. As for sending Lilia back to the Magic Academy, no one mentioned it!
……

Three days later,
January 311, 1 New God Calendar, first floor, training room.

After completing the last set of movements, Luo Yi let out a long sigh and slowly stood up.

He was shirtless, wearing only a trouser pocket, his whole body was covered with sweat and oil, and his fair skin seemed to be emitting light.

But he has a slender figure, and although his muscles look underdeveloped, they seem to be made of countless steel wires with clear contours, and his every move contains extremely terrifying explosive power.

At this time, Luo Yi glanced at the [Attribute Panel] and keenly locked onto the changes in several numbers in it.

[Strength: 13 (11/100)]

【战斗技能：迅捷剑技LV7（9/100），迅捷一击LV4(50/100)，十字瞬杀LV3(9/100)】

The first is the improvement of the strength attribute, which finally reached 13 points. Even according to the requirements of the second-level knight, it is the LV7 level.

However, Luo Yi's feeling was very clear that it was indeed difficult to achieve an ultimate balance between strength and agility. The closer the two were, the more difficult it was to improve.

This is the limitation of the human body's muscle shape, which cannot be changed by human power.

Furthermore, the battle with those pirates and swordsmen finally gave him a lot of help, allowing him to break through the bottleneck of [Swift Swordsmanship LV6].

Even though it’s just a step, in Deep Blue’s setting, LV4 and LV7 are both major upgrades, and once you cross that step you’ll enter a new world.

Luo Yi's feelings were extremely clear. After he really grasped the sword with [Swift Swordsmanship LV7], the sword became an extension of his arm, and it even seemed to have an unexistent sense of touch.

Every time the sword is swung, the airflow stirred by the blade breaking through the air, and the deformation distance of the sword tip after reaching the limit...

All of this was under his control, and the feeling could even be described as magical.

至于【迅捷一击LV4(50/100)，十字瞬杀LV3(9/100)】的提升，纯粹是基础剑术的突破后，自然而然的提升。

At this point, Deep Blue's optimization of combat skills can be put on the agenda again. Personalized improvement and iteration will bring about a continuous increase in combat power.

Just as Luo Yi was thinking, a towel was handed to him. He took it and wiped the sweat off his body.
When he looked up again, he saw Butler Hoover standing in front of him. He was still wearing a neat gentleman's suit, and even his hair was combed neatly.

The chaos in Auckland City actually had little impact on Provence Manor.

The tenants of the manor were all country people and none of them lived in the city. Even if some of them entered the city on Grace Day, they would go back early.

However, the Raymond family’s businesses, including three perfume shops located in the west of the city, suffered a certain degree of damage.

However, the pirates were not interested in perfume, and the extent of the damage was limited. Compared with other shops, it was much better.

Therefore, Butler Hoover seemed very calm in this chaos.

The reason he came here now was actually because Luo Yi asked him to do something.

However, Luo Yi didn't wait for him to speak, but waved his hand and said, "Ange, come over too."

At the other end of the training ground, Oliveira was teaching Ang to practice swordsmanship. When he heard Loy calling him, he immediately put down the rapier in his hand and trotted over.

Luo Yi looked at them and said, "Tell us what you have found out."

"I'm actually very curious, after those pirates and swordsmen were taken to the police station, what happened to the people behind them?"

　Lilia is a magic mechanical designer, not a vase...
