This time, when Xu Yi left Great Magician Camilla's private laboratory, he was no longer covered in dirt like last time. Rather, he had his head held high and his chest puffed out, with a proud smile on his face.
Stiel had been waiting outside for an entire two hours and was already very anxious. When she saw Xu Yi come out, she immediately charged over and looked at Xu Yi as she asked, "How was it?
How was it?
What did grandfather say? "
Xu Yi smiled as he reached out his right index and middle finger to Stiel, making a "V" sign for victory. Then he remembered that Stiel didn't understand the meaning of this sign, so he quickly said, "Relax, his excellency Great Magician agreed."
"He agreed?" Stiel called out in surprise. She looked over Xu Yi with a face filled with curiosity.
"Grandfather actually agreed!
I say, Xu Yi, how did you convince grandfather?
Could it be that you actually used the legendary dark attributed charm magic on grandfather? "
"How could I know that kind of thing?" Xu Yi snappily looked at Stiel.
"Then again, your grandfather is a Great Magician and I am just a trivial person who hasn't even passed the Magician certification exam. If I used magic on him, would I not die quickly enough?"
"Then how did you get grandfather to agree?
He hates merchants the most, not to mention cooperating with merchants. "Stiel asked in a confused voice.
"This ….." Xu Yi paused and gave a helpless sigh.
"His excellency Great Magician had no other choice.
In the end, a magician also needs to eat. Your grandfather is facing a very real problem, he doesn't have any money.
Although this old man is stubborn, compared to this Magic Tower that he put all his heart into, this stubbornness doesn't count for anything.
Besides, cooperating with me is always better than cooperating with other merchants. No matter what, I am still a merchant with a conscience. At the same time, I also have the identity of a magician, so it will be relatively easier for the Great Magician to accept. "
A trace of sadness appeared on Stiel's face. She gave a slight nod and said with a sigh, "That's right, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no other way, grandfather definitely wouldn't have agreed to do this." After saying this, she turned to look at the door of Great Magician Camilla's private laboratory.
"I'll go check on him."
Seeing Stiel open the door and walk in, Xu Yi thought for a moment and turned to leave the Magic Tower.
After talking to Great Magician Camilla for an entire two hours, Xu Yi had gained quite a bit.
The most important harvest was naturally the cooperation he had with Great Magician Camilla.
Since they were researching magic machines, magic naturally played an important role in this.
Before this, most of the magic machines Xu Yi researched could be considered light machines. The Magic Arrays they used weren't high level Magic Arrays, so he could complete them with his current strength.
But when Xu Yi was preparing to develop the Magic Plowing Machine, he met a problem that he had already expected. It was that his magic power wasn't enough.
Because the Magic Plowing Machine needed to pluck large amounts of soil, it required power that surpassed the magic machines Xu Yi had developed before. After Xu Yi calculated it, he determined that if this Magic Plowing Machine used a Wind Attributed Array, it would require at least a Sixth Grade Wind Attributed Array.
Although Xu Yi's magic power had been increasing by leaps and bounds, it had only been a short time. Right now he was only between a Third and Fourth Grade Magician, so he could only grasp a few Fourth Grade Spells and Magic Arrays. He couldn't do anything with a Sixth Grade Magic Array.
Even if Stiel, Evita, and Akali were stronger than Xu Yi, they couldn't complete a Sixth Grade Magic Array. So Xu Yi was helpless, so he braced himself to come find Great Magician Camilla for help.
Speaking of this, Xu Yi should thank the Lampari Kingdom's royal family. If it wasn't for them suddenly cutting Great Magician Camilla's budget, causing his excellency Great Magician to suffer an economic crisis, Xu Yi would have been kicked out by him. How could he have convinced Great Magician Camilla to agree to cooperate with him?
Xu Yi wasn't in a rush for results. He knew that even if Great Magician Camilla agreed to cooperate, his prejudice against merchants wouldn't disappear that easily. So this time he just took out the idea of the Magic Plowing Machine for Great Magician Camilla to research and didn't make any other requests.
It had to be said, a Great Magician was a Great Magician. Not only did he surpass Xu Yi's group in terms of magic power, he also surpassed them in terms of vision, understanding, and realm.
After Xu Yi explained the concept of the Magic Plowing Machine, Great Magician Camilla only said a single sentence that stunned Xu Yi for a while.
"Since it's for plowing the soil, why are you using a Wind Attributed Array and not an Earth Attributed Array?"
When he heard this, Xu Yi was stunned for a bit before slapping his forehead.
Idiot!
Great Magician Camilla wasn't wrong at all. Since the Magic Plowing Machine was for plowing the soil, using an Earth Attributed Array was the simplest and most effective method. It was far from being able to compare to using a Wind Attributed Array to drive the plowing machine.
Xu Yi immediately understood that he was completely limited by his fixed thinking.
This was because in the original world, almost all machines used various kinds of energy to drive them before using that energy to drive them. So when he was researching magic machines, Xu Yi had always thought of this.
The first magic machine that Xu Yi developed in Sines was the Magic Fan and he found that using a Wind Attributed Array to drive it, it could completely imitate the machines on earth. So when he researched after that, he always imitated the machines on earth, using the Wind Attributed Array the most.
However, now that he was reminded by Great Magician Camilla, Xu Yi suddenly found that he had made a mistake.
Sines was different from earth in the end and the biggest difference was magic.
Although it couldn't compare to the highly developed industrial system on earth, magic had its own advantages.
Xu Yi had sighed before about the efficiency of the Magic Array in converting Magic Crystals, but now he found that magic also had a powerful advantage.
Just take this Magic Plowing Machine for example. According to Xu Yi's design, it was similar to the plowing machines on earth, using a Wind Attributed Array to drive it.
Because this opportunity to loosen the soil had been barren for a long time and the soil was rather hard, Xu Yi had considered a higher requirement when designing it. In the end, he decided to use at least a Sixth Grade Wind Array.
But after being reminded by Great Magician Camilla, Xu Yi quickly changed his mind and used an Earth Attributed Array. He found that he only needed a trivial Second Grade Earth Attributed Array, the Earth Splitting Array to meet this requirement.
As long as he designed it a bit more, the effect would be much stronger than Xu Yi's previous design!
During this process, what Xu Yi cared about the most was not that the design of the Magic Plowing Machine could be simplified and the cost could be lowered, rather it was that his thoughts had suddenly been broadened.
If it was said that Xu Yi had only used the rich mechanical knowledge he had on earth and borrowed the power of magic to make machines one by one, then after this, Xu Yi found that there was more to magic. He could completely change his design and perfectly combine magic with his mechanical knowledge.
In other words, the magic machines that Xu Yi had developed before could only be considered magic powered machines.
This new Magic Plowing Machine that he had developed with Great Magician Camilla was a true product that combined magic and machines!
It represented the true fusion of Sines and earth's civilizations!
Thinking of this, Xu Yi's steps unknowingly became lighter.
His heart of research as a mechanical engineer was already burning. He couldn't wait to return to the factory and begin developing the new Magic Plowing Machine with the dwarves led by Camby.
But when Xu Yi stepped onto the small path leading to the factory and looked into the distance, he was surprised to find that the space in front of the two factories was filled with people. It was so dark that there wasn't a single gap left.
Seeing this noisy scene in front of him, Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that something happened?
