Chapter 40 Bearings and Fine Gold Blades

"This bearing is very interesting!"

Fine Melt looked at the drawing of the roller bearing provided by Xia Lin, combined with the gearbox that Xia Lin just showed, and quickly understood the purpose of the bearing.

"It's very interesting, but how can such a small round bead be forged? Brat, you are not fooling us, are you?"

Master Holkin's temper came and went quickly, and he returned to his usual appearance as soon as he was interrupted by Xia Lin. He looked at the ball bearing drawing in his hand and looked at Xia Lin suspiciously.

"Of course not. The ball bearings in Master Holkin's hands cannot be forged now, but the roller bearings in Master Fine's hands are relatively easy!"

Xia Lin explained the difference in the drawings in the hands of the two.

"Huh? So it's two kinds of bearings?"

Master Fine and Master Holguin looked at each other, then turned their heads tacitly, as if they didn't want to share the blueprint in their hands with each other.

"I think you have underestimated us dwarves, aren't you just rolling a ball? Watch me forge it from Holkin to open your eyes!"

Hearing what Xia Lin said just now that ball bearings are much more difficult than roller bearings, Master Holkin said disdainfully, stuffed the drawings into his arms, took a sip of ale, and ordered four dwarf craftsmen to join him Go over to the furnace.

"Balls? That's really bad, Your Excellency Xia Lin, leave this roller bearing to me! I think that guy Holkin will never be able to make a ball bearing in his life!"

Master Fine knew the form of the ball bearing as soon as he heard the ball, it was nothing more than replacing the metal cylinder on his drawing with a metal ball with less resistance.

He clicked his tongue twice, waved his hand confidently, and pulled away four of the remaining five dwarf masters. In the end, only one dwarf master was left looking at Xia Lin eagerly. The one who was unfortunately selected seemed to have nothing to do It's time to do it.

"Master, please help me make woodworking lathes, sawing machines, milling machines, planers, and drilling machines! Here are the drawings I drew. When the waterwheels and their bearings are ready, we can test them!"

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the dwarf master, Xia Lin shook his head amusedly, and took out another stack of blueprints to the dwarf master, asking him to help him make these machine tools.

In fact, these machine tools are not difficult to process. The most critical thing is actually the manufacturing of processing parts such as cutter heads and grinding wheels.

The grinding wheel can be sintered with diatomaceous earth, sand, and corundum, which is not much different from firing pottery, but the cutter head is different.

As one of the core components of the machine tool, the poor quality of the cutter head means that the processing capacity of the machine tool cannot meet the requirements. At the same time, the cutter head needs to be replaced frequently during work, and the machining accuracy will be greatly affected.

In order to solve the problem of the cutter head, Xia Lin reluctantly bought half a pound of fine gold powder, and planned to melt them into fine gold liquid and cast them into several lathe cutter heads.

However, when Xia Lin was officially operating, he found that the fine gold powder in the furnace designed by him could reach a temperature of at least 1200°C, and there was no sign of melting at all.

Apparently, the properties of fine gold, a demonized metal, and the gold that was born out of it have undergone earth-shaking changes. At least the hardness, melting point, and magic conductivity have all been greatly improved.

Now he was dumbfounded. Could it be that he wanted to use the hundred-smelted steel from the blacksmith's shop to knock out the knife head?Not to mention the cumbersome process of manufacturing the cutter head in that way, durability is also a big problem!

At that time, the cutter head will have to be replaced every three days. I am afraid that the available processing machine for the machine tool has not been as long as the dwarf masters have been knocking on the cutter head, and the price/performance ratio is too low!
Fortunately, he remembered that the princess once said that Master Holkin mastered the craft of processing fine gold, so he found Master Holkin again.

"Stinky boy, are you kidding me? You just use fine gold to process such gadgets?"

In order to develop the balls for bearings, Master Holkin stayed in front of the furnace all day, his eyes were red from the heat, and he was furious when he heard Xia Lin's request.

"Master Holkin, how can you say that this is a gadget? Shouldn't the blacksmith pay the most attention to his own tools? With the fine gold blade, you can handle the steel as you want as soon as the machine tool is started. Is it the best use for fine gold?"

Xia Lin didn't expect that Master Holkin would look down on his woodworking machine tools, thinking that they were not worthy of fine gold worth 94 gold lund a pound, and persuaded him.

"That...forget it, what you said makes sense, but the cost of processing fine gold is not low, you give me 50 gold lends, and I will cast all the blades you want!"

Master Holkin calmed down his anger when he heard Xia Lin's words. Speaking of which, the machine tool is indeed the tool of blacksmiths, and it is not a bad thing to use pure gold for his own tools, so he said his hometown dialect Swallowing it back into his stomach, he reached out to Xia Lin for money.

"Hiss! So expensive?!"

Xia Lin was taken aback by Master Holguin's offer.

"What is this expensive? To process fine gold, you must use the rune circle passed down from generation to generation by our Bronzebeard clan, and use some magic materials to prepare an alchemy potion. Neither of these two costs is cheap.

Otherwise, why do you think adamantine equipment is so expensive? I still gave you a lot of discount for 50 Jinlunte!Don't forget it, I still find it troublesome! "

Master Holkin withdrew his hand angrily, and was about to sneak back to the furnace to continue his ball forging that had not yet seen the light of day.

"Okay! Let's make it!"

Xia Lin knew that fine gold was extremely difficult to wear and tear, and those blades should still be useful after the woodworking machine was upgraded, so after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and decided to pay the price.

Master Holkin may have also discovered that it is basically impossible to forge round and hard metal beads with the current technical means. With Xia Lin's additional commission, he can still use this as a reason not to admit the competition result.

Therefore, he received Xia Lin's materials and processing fees, gave a few instructions to his four dwarf masters, and then hurried back to Furnace Valley.

A day later, Master Faine Molten managed to pull out the Iron Bearing, winning a contest with Master Holguin.

To Xia Lin's surprise, Master Faen did not use the furnace he designed, but an ancient rune disk passed down from their dwarf clan, which provided a high temperature of over 1500°C to directly smelt Bailian Steel into molten steel cast.

Xia Lin was very concerned about the application of magic embodied in the industry.

After brazenly begging, Xia Lin got Master Fine's rune plate, and found that he couldn't quite understand the runes on it except for the fire runes that constitute the heating spell and the flame arrow.

In fact, Xia Lin thought about combining magic and science a long time ago to create a brand new magic industry, but now he has a good understanding of industry, and his research on magic can only be superficial.

Not to mention creating corresponding spells for the difficulties encountered in industrialization, he is not even proficient in the spells he has mastered.

To achieve the goal of combining magic and science, he must at least complete his own round of research projects.

However, people in this world, living in the supernatural power of magic, have obviously developed many ways to use magic power.

For example, the shimmering rune disks used by the nobles in their castles and manors, the frost rune disks used for refrigeration, etc. are the most basic life applications of magic.

And the dwarves have also mastered the technology of using magic to obtain high temperature to process metals. I believe that there are still many magics applied to life in other places, but Xia Lin's current vision is too narrow to see it for the time being.

At the same time, after seeing this practical example of the application of magic in industry, Xia Lin also got some inspiration.

It is true that his magic level is low, but magic level does not determine everything. For example, arc and electric shock, which are both low-level evocation spells, seem to have great application potential in industry.

However, at present, Xia Lin does not have the extra time and energy to think about this aspect, so he temporarily put aside the application of the arc technique in industry.

A few days later, Master Holguin finally processed the fine gold blade that Xia Lin needed and sent it back to the construction site. Naturally, half a pound of fine gold powder could not be used to make a single blade.

Xia Lin gave the drawings and asked Master Holkin to process four kinds of cutting tools: turning tool, milling cutter, drill bit, and tap. The length of each tool is less than 2cm. The front is large and the rear is small. on the machine tool.

Although this is troublesome, it can reduce the consumption of fine gold while increasing the service life.

And even with this method, only a set of four of the adamantine blade tips of this specification was obtained.

Spreading it evenly on Xia Lin's machine tools, it is equivalent to the cost of each machine tool reaching almost 27 Jinlund, which is almost equivalent to the redemption cost of 2 Xia Lin.
