I'm an elf mayor in the real world

"Director, it's bad! My little magnet is rusty!"

As a honest voice sounded in the windmill field, an unusually strong figure was rushing to the office building carrying some parts.

There are four parts in total, including an iron ball with eyes, two horseshoe-shaped magnets, a large screw, and two small screws.

Li Youtian is the only repairman at the power plant. Based on his past contributions, he is eligible for the opportunity to conquer the little magnet.

Being a loyal man, he also seized the opportunity to tame a little magnet monster and became the only worker in the factory who owned an elf besides the director Lin Xiaowai.

This dismantled little magnet is his elf.

"..."

Lin Xiao looked at the scattered little magnet in front of him and didn't know what to say for a while.

This state of separation is a form that Magnemite does not often display. Although it has no impact on Magnemite's health, it can cause serious trouble to its actions.

To be more precise, the Magnemite's ability to move will temporarily disappear, that is, it will be paralyzed.

Perhaps feeling that it was not good to express shock in silence, Lin Xiao took the initiative to ask the strong man: "Li Youtian, what did you do to the little Magnemite?"

What did you do to the little magnet?
Li Youtian couldn't understand. He looked at the Magnemite parts on the table: "This is not silicone, so it definitely can't be used..."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Lin Xiao forced out a smile: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was, why did the little magnet become like this?"

Li Youtian scratched his head, and now he understood what the factory director meant.

"When I took the little Magnemite for morning exercises today, I found that it was obviously blocked in the process of generating electricity, so I took it apart for inspection, and then I discovered this."

As he spoke, Li Youtian raised two small screws in front of Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao was surprised to find that there was a lot of rust on the screws.

Not only the small screws, but also the horseshoe magnets and large screws are also covered with a lot of rust.

"When the power is on, the rust is almost invisible, but once the magnet is disassembled." Li Youtian pointed to the magnet parts on the table, "When it is like this, the rust will show up. "

"Is it just your little magnet that has this problem, or does it also happen to other little magnets?"

Lin Xiao didn't expect that the little elves would also rust, but when he thought that the little magnets were originally made of steel and magnets, he didn't find it strange anymore.

"I haven't checked the others yet, I'll go now!"

Li Youtian disappeared into the factory director's office as quickly as possible, and hurriedly returned 30 seconds later, telling Lin Xiao: "Director, help me take care of the little Magnemite!"

After saying that, he disappeared again.

Lin Xiao was not surprised by Li Youtian's series of actions.

This is the work style of this stupid man, down-to-earth and hard-working but a little reckless, rough and fine but not detailed enough.

According to his own words, this is called informality.

After Li Youtian left, Lin Xiao stared at Li Youtian's Magnemite parts on the table for a while. After thinking about it, he seemed to have a certain idea.

He came to his little Magnemite and used the same method to "dismember" the little Magnemite that was originally floating in the air.

Lin Xiao found that although his little magnet also had some rust, it was not as much as Li Youtian's.

As Li Youtian said, this cannot be seen when the power is on.

Why do magnets not rust easily?
This is because the magnet has strong magnetic force, which forms a layer of magnetic field on the surface of the magnet, blocking moisture and oxygen in the outside air, thereby reducing oxidation on the surface of the magnet.

Under normal conditions, Magnemite itself has magnetism and can also generate electric current, so some of the rust is hidden and partially restored, and has no effect on Magnemite's actions and the operation of electricity.

But if due to some external factors, the redox reaction of the little magnet is not as fast as the oxidation reaction, that is, the reduction speed is not as fast as the rust speed, it is easy to cause the problem of Li Youtian's little magnet.

"Is it because we are at the beach?" Lin Xiao put forward the most reasonable explanation.

About half an hour passed.

"Director, I dismantled it...I inspected it and came back!"

Li Youtian arrived before he was heard, and appeared in the office three seconds after Lin Xiao heard the sound.

"Director, I have checked everything. Most of the magnet monsters have this problem. Not to mention the magnet monsters, even the three-in-one magnet monsters have the same problem."

When it comes to taking things apart, Li Youtian is a professional.

It can be said that he has dismantled all the little magnets with almost no effort. Of course, you don’t have to dismantle everything. You only need to remove one or two screws on the little magnet to check for problems.

After listening to Li Youtian's report, Lin Xiao pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked: "Li Youtian, do you think we still have suitable wind power sites on Langqi Island?"

"Hey, factory director, don't tell me, it's true!"

Li Youtian was particularly excited when he mentioned this. As the only repairman of the power plant, he had long been tired of maintenance work.

It's not that Li Youtian is lazy, but wind turbines built on the beach are prone to breakage.

As we all know, houses built on the seaside are particularly prone to rust due to their susceptibility to atmospheric corrosion.

The atmosphere in coastal areas generally has the "three high" corrosion environment of high humidity, high salt, and high temperature. Such environment and medium conditions accelerate the corrosion rate of steel.

Relevant data shows that the corrosion rate of carbon steel in coastal areas is more than three times that of inland areas.

This windmill field built on the seaside greatly increased Li Youtian's workload.

If there is an opportunity to relocate this power plant to a more suitable place, Li Youtian will definitely be the first person to support it, and ten thousand people will support it.

Lin Xiao did not ask further, but asked another question: "Do you think the situation of the little magnet is related to atmospheric corrosion?"

"It makes sense! It makes so much sense! The reason why the little magnet will rust must be the same as the reason why the windmill keeps breaking, so should we build a new power plant in a different place?"

"This can avoid a lot of trouble." Li Youtian looked at Lin Xiao, waiting for his answer.

Want an answer?

"Do you think I'm the district chief, and I can do whatever I want?" Lin Xiao gave the stupid man in front of him a big roll of his eyes, "Do your job well, don't think about other things."

Li Youtian smiled naively and prepared to exit the factory director's office.

"and many more!"

"You agreed?"

"You agree!" Lin Xiao pointed to the parts on the table, "Assemble your little magnet and take it away!"

"Oh oh oh, I almost forgot."

Li Youtian was a little disappointed, but he still skillfully assembled the magnet. It was not until the magnet was re-energized and its magnetism was restored that he took it with him and left.

Although he refused, Lin Xiao felt that what Li Youtian said made sense.

This matter really needs to be reported to the district chief, and the relocation of the power plant is also necessary.

Although the rust problem will not have much impact on the Magnemite family in the short term, if they continue to live by the sea, it will definitely not work in the long run.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao came to the window and shouted to Li Youtian who had just emerged downstairs: "Come up and draw the location of your inspection for me. I will go to the city in the afternoon."

"Hey, eh, ok!" Li Youtian jumped up excitedly when he heard this.

If the little Magnemite could take people flying, Lin Xiao believed that this stupid man would fly up from downstairs impatiently.

Li Youtian quickly went upstairs and drew a big circle on the map, which was the foot of the mountain southwest of Langqi Island.

According to Li Youtian, there is a perennial southwesterly wind there, making it a more suitable location for building a wind power plant than Bagpipe Beach.

"I will report these situations to the district chief. You can go ahead and do your work first."

"okay!"

Li Youtian was overjoyed, and the figure leaving was full of joy.

It was only when he left the factory director's office that his little magnet flew up from the window.

No way, it has been dismantled for too long, and the use of magnetism is a bit unfamiliar and blocked...

"He went downstairs again." Lin Xiao pointed to the door of the office and reminded Li Youtian's little magnet, "You should be able to block him by flying down again."

Li Youtian's little magnet shook visibly. He didn't know whether it was because the magnetism was still not working smoothly, or because Li Youtian was angry.

In short, it chooses to disintegrate quickly, turning off its magnetism.

"Ow—"

After a scream, Lin Xiao heard Li Youtian shouting: "Who the hell is hitting me with a piece of iron! Ah! It's the little Magnemite! What's wrong with you..." (End of Chapter)
