Tang En was just an ordinary person on Earth. He did not understand the engineering structure of a lathe, but that did not prevent him from knowing the principle and concept of a lathe.
Ordinary people on Earth, who had experienced the information explosion era, were much better than the Prandal people in terms of collecting and sorting information.
The most important thing was that Tang En's vision and vision were different from the Prandal people, and he looked at things from a different perspective. Coincidentally, after he came to this world, he still had a very powerful trump card.
Although he did not know what level of power a max-level mage was in this world, it was obviously enough for him to protect himself for the time being.
In addition, his secondary profession of alchemy would also bring him great convenience.
As long as he could solve the problem of the power source, it would not be difficult to bring all kinds of machinery from Earth to Prandal.
"A lathe is a comprehensive machine. Brian, you and the dwarfs are neighbors, so you should know what machinery is, right?"
"Of course! Those dwarfs like to play with some messy things, but they are not very good at forging, so they ask us to make a lot of things! "
In the eyes of the dwarfs, the dwarfs were also dwarfs …
Tang En was a little speechless. He ignored Brian's flattery and continued, "There are many kinds of machinery, lathe is just a comprehensive name. Now, what we want to talk about are press lathes and cutting lathes."
"You know how to use molds, so why do you think the things made by molds are not good? There are only two reasons. First, the material is not good. Second, the strength is not enough. "
"The press lathe can solve the second problem, and the alloy composite material I mentioned to you before can solve the first problem."
"Its principle is also very simple … First, you have to understand a principle. When the fruit is ripe, why will it fall to the ground? Because the earth has a gravitational force, and this force is called gravity … "
Tang En briefly introduced the principle of the press lathe. Although most of the words were not understood, the part that they understood was enough to make Edgar and Brian speechless.
Using the force of a hammer driven by high-intensity movements to press a standardized metal block in a mold many times? This, this was simply too inconceivable …
But why did it feel feasible?
Brian could not explain.
However, at this moment, Tang En had undoubtedly become a mysterious existence in his eyes.
Not only did he clearly propose the concept of composite materials, but he also planned to create a new type of material. Now, he even wanted to create a lathe to break the Prandal production system!
What kind of person could do this?
A great man!
Tang En was probably that great forerunner!
Previously, Brian had only stayed to dig out new materials from Tang En. But now, he had unknowingly changed his original plan.
Stay here and witness everything.
He had a feeling that if he stayed by Tang En's side, he would be able to witness the changes of the entire Prandal!
And this human was destined to be the center of attention!
After explaining the press lathe, Tang En took a sip of water and began to explain the cutting lathe.
"The semi-finished products that are pressed by the press lathe are then taken to the cutting lathe to be polished. The most important step is quenching and sharpening. You don't need to do this step by hand because there are grinding wheels that can do this easily and quickly …"
Tang En rambled on for another half an hour. During this time, he also imparted some basic physics knowledge to them. For example, under high speed and high pressure, even water had a strong cutting ability. Only then did they barely understand the specific principles and uses of the cutting lathe.
When Tang En finished speaking, Edgar and Brian, who were in front of him, were stunned.
Both of them were not fools. As blacksmiths, and more specifically, as craftsmen, they understood that if what Tang En said was realized, it would be a huge impact on them!
It was likely that many apprentices would have no food to eat, and even many old craftsmen with good skills would have no food to eat. This was because the skills they had mastered could be completely done by an ordinary person using the lathe that Tang En had mentioned.
"Big, big brother, can we talk about it?"
Brian finally dared not fight with Tang En anymore. He stammered and said, "These lathes you mentioned, can you not make them?"
"Hmm?"
"This … That, Edgar and I will work overtime to make more than a thousand sets of various farming tools for you. Can we forget about the lathe first?"
Brian was very worried about this. If the lathe was really developed, the dwarves' skills would be finished, and the human side would not be greatly affected.
"Are you worried that the dwarves' skills will not be able to compete with the lathe?"
Tang En smiled. "Don't worry. After all, the lathe is an assembly line that produces a large number of products, and a small number of custom-made products still need to be made by you."
"Is that so?"
"Of course, this is the difference between mass production and handmade products."
Originally, Tang En had wanted to talk to him about the brand effect, but after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea. It was too early to talk about brands now, but the dwarves' products were already considered a famous brand in themselves.
Brian's spirit was lifted. "That's great."
"Very well. Now that you have understood, let's start the first step. Let's solve the problem of the press lathe first."
Tang En smiled. "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. After the lathe is made, the efficiency will naturally improve."
"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools? That's a good sentence! I have to get to know you again! "
Brian's whole body trembled. Tang En's words were exactly what he was thinking. As a dwarf who strived for excellence, he pursued the best materials, the best anvils, and the best forging hammers when forging. Only when everything was ready could he exert his best state.
Tang En smiled, picked up Edgar's notebook, and began to write and draw. His original drawing skills were extremely bad, but after coming to this world with the strength of a magician, fine control was not a problem at all. The requirements for drawing magic arrays were higher, so his drawing skills naturally rose. With just a few simple strokes, a realistic shell appeared.
The main reason was that his mental power was very strong now. He could form a clear three-dimensional image in his mind, as fine as the three-dimensional software on Earth.
"There are many kinds of lathes. Now we have to make a press lathe first. Its principle has been explained. Now this is its appearance. You see, its structure is very simple …"
Tang En drew a simple structure according to his impression of a press lathe. Although he did not know the specific details and professional requirements, they did not have such high requirements now, did they?
Tang En now only had two requirements — simple and usable.
Tang En thought that after he drew this thing, they would be amazed. As a result, they were amazed, but their amazement was a little subtle …
"Big brother, what kind of drawing method is this? It's so strange. Is this the same thing? "
"Yeah, I don't seem to understand, but I feel that it's very useful …"
Tang En's face was puzzled. "This is a three-dimensional view. Otherwise, how do you know the situation of the side if I only draw a front view?"
"Three-dimensional view?"
Brian and Edgar were at a loss again. Everything that Tang En had said today was not something that they understood. They felt that the shock they received today was more than what they had received in the past few decades.
"Yes, you see, this is a front view, this is a side view, and this is a top view. If necessary, you can draw a perspective view and a bottom view, so that you can clearly understand what a thing looks like."
After Tang En's explanation, the two guys finally understood the purpose of his drawing.
Brian only thought for a moment, and instantly turned pale with fright. "The beard of a forging hammer! I finally understand why they were always dissatisfied when I built according to the drawing — damn it, I didn't know how thick the sword they wanted was! "
Tang En was speechless.
"Three-dimensional view, right? I understand now! "
Brian's face was full of excitement. Just this three-dimensional view alone made it worthwhile for him to stay this time!
If he wanted to build anything in the future, he must make this three-dimensional view first!
Tang En didn't expect that his deliberate drawing method didn't surprise them, but the three-dimensional view that he made inadvertently shocked them. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"This is the casing of the punching machine, this is where the mold is inlaid, and here … There are many small things in here that you probably can't make out. Leave this to me. You mainly need to make the casing of the punching machine and these molds. I'll take care of the rest."
Tang En didn't expect them to completely solve the problem. Not to mention other things, they probably couldn't make the simplest screw. He had to do it himself.
But it just so happened that he had nothing to do these days. He was planning to study the problem of how to convert magic into a power source — if this problem couldn't be solved, these lathes might not be useful at all.
"Okay, if that's all, it can be done in a few days. Big brother, what are you going to do with this punching ram? I'm afraid ordinary materials can't meet this requirement, right? "
Tang En said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Brian stared at Tang En. "Big brother, did anyone tell you something?"
"What is it?"
"The way you smile, you're asking for a beating."
Tang En's face stiffened, and he laughed dryly. "There are many people who want to beat me, but they can't beat me."
