After the verification machine successfully ran, Polu sent the decomposition drawings of the production components or, more appropriately, drawing boards? to Goola.
The entire vertical structure is almost made of square angle steel frames, very similar to the tower cranes that can be seen everywhere on construction sites, with thick rivet joints.
Although the volume is not small, the weight of the load is actually not high relative to the volume, so it is not difficult. Only the rotating base part requires him to make some thrust ball bearings by himself. Since there is no need for sealing to directly contact the upper and lower races, the accuracy is affected
The requirements are just enough for such a big thing, but it doesn’t need to be lifted to the sky, and it doesn’t have to be silky smooth.
Just in case, he decided to use reinforced concrete to make a circular track in the air to carry the other end of the longer steel frame.
Time passed day by day, and the angle steel was riveted to the structural parts one by one, waiting to be transported to the newly organized site for installation.
"It's too slow. It's such a non-load-bearing structure with an arm length of less than 10 meters. It took a week to complete the main tower components. It's even more difficult to install it. It looks like it will take several weeks to complete the installation. I
I'm going crazy waiting." Bolu looked impatiently at the main structure, which took more than ten minutes to install an angle steel, and walked around the edge of the field with his hands behind his back.
"Didn't you ask for the best materials? I think they are quite fast." Leah waved the heavy steel rod in her hand next to him for training.
"That's too slow. It will take several months to build one spiral arm per week at this speed. It won't be needed anymore. You can just raise your hands and wait for death. I'll go over and have a look." Bolu patted his butt and left here.
In order to rush for time, he decided to go out and find a way to increase the speed personally. At this time, he didn't care about any heat treatment. It was just a low-impact component anyway.
"Geola! The progress is a bit slow, what's going on? Where is the speed bottleneck?" Bolu found the sweating Geora in a busy unloading area.
He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his head: "Well, the size of the steel plate we want this time is a bit thick, and the shearing machine can't cut it, so we can only use the old method. Now, as soon as the rolling mill presses it to the appropriate thickness, it can be
When it's still red and hot, take it off and cut it with a chisel."
"Can this shearing machine also work?"
"No. It can only be cut thin, suitable for use as a weapon, but not for anything else."
"Then what use do I need it for? Let me think about it." Polu recalled it and thought about it in his mind: "Wire cutting or plasma? High-pressure water jet is definitely useless. What is the cutting mode of the shaping circle?
Here? Wait, can’t the same trick I use to engrave drawings be used to engrave steel plates?"
He raised his head and said to Geola: "I understand, I'll leave to study it. You continue to work."
"Lea, stop shaking and go back to the laboratory! I need your help if I need anything!"
As soon as she opened the door, Leah saw a model on the table: "What is this? Armor?"
"Yes, just for you to take a look. I have no experience in using armor. You think about it first. I'll think of something first. If you have any ideas, write them down first."
After saying that, Bolu began to recall the control and burning methods of the drawing model in his mind. While thinking about it, he was distracted: "I don't know what happened to the papermaker I asked little Irene to find last time? I'm tired of using it on the wooden board.
It’s time to make a draft!”
Although the shaping circle can also be used to cut steel plates, its efficiency is actually very low. After all, a universal tool is synonymous with being useful for everything, but not easy to use. Cutting steel plates is like using an angle grinder to go up a mountain.
The wait for quarrying materials made people anxious. It was the first drawing technique he learned. Lang Dao confessed at the time that it was a scorching ray that had weakened its power, and its accuracy was pretty good. So why not just add back the power and use it to cut steel plates?
What effect will it have?
Once this idea emerged, it lingered in Polu's mind.
"Laser cutting! This is a leap forward!" Although I am a little worried about accidental damage from radiation, the temptation is too great.
He thought about it and decided to give it a try.
"It seems that Master Fa really doesn't want to do rough work by himself. How convenient would it be if this could be done? It's not like they haven't used it to burn armor before. Why didn't anyone think of it? Wait, Master Fa seems to be able to use it too.
Shaping magic circle. Well, okay...if they want to do something, they might not really need it."
Bolu was thinking wildly while preparing the materials.
This is an injustice to the mage. Why do ordinary mages use rays to burn armor? They have already reached this distance and they still don’t run. Do they want to wrestle with the muscular brothers? It’s a problem that can be solved with a big fireball if you keep the distance.
Although the rays are only at the second energy level at first, if you want to control them well, burn them for a long time, illuminate them accurately, and if the temperature is high, the difficulty is simply to draw a curve and shoot towards the sky. If you have this control, do something else.
What's wrong with it? Do you have to fight with rays?
Even if you have to fight to the death, can you let a great mage cut steel plates? Unless you are his grandfather, or he is your grandfather.
The materials have been placed on the workbench. Bolu started to cut out a base plate that was only 10 centimeters square and carved it on it. The magic circle is not difficult, otherwise there would be no way to learn it during the apprenticeship.
In Bolu's hands now, he just touched the base plate, and the things that should be burned were gradually revealed with the flickering light. When he reached the energy area, he hesitated for a moment, and then, cruelly, he still
A set of several energy supply runes have been added inside.
"Does this thing consume magic power?" After carving it, Bolu was a little amazed at the huge consumption of this magic circle after replenishing the energy supply. In total, it requires 4 standard crystal plates for energy supply and an experimental furnace.
.The high-quality crystal used to supply the searchlight operation is estimated to be in front of it for only a few minutes. No wonder the large scorching ray from before sucked up the energy core and exploded it!
"Here, this energy supply is a bit scary? Can this small steel plate hold up?" Bolu pushed out 4 newly completed standard energy-gathering plates from the nearby warehouse and loosely connected the crystal links. "Try it first.
Come on. Just relax, if there is any movement, you will stop it."
He clamped the prepared launch board on a vise fixed on the heavy table and shook it: "It's pretty stable."
After confirming that the launch direction was directed towards a stack of steel plates on the table, Bolu connected the line to the launch board: "Leah! Leah, stop looking, come here first, and you must gather your fighting spirit to defend yourself. You
The reaction is faster than mine. If there is any abnormal reaction, the energy source will be cut off first."
"Defend from what?" Leah didn't expect that there was anything in this place that needed to be defended, and she was a little confused.
"It's this switch. If there's any problem, you must cut it off first." After speaking, Polu clicked and then pushed the power supply switch.
A white light that was so bright that it was impossible to see directly lit up, and the stacked steel plates melted instantly like butter. The ray penetrated layer after layer of steel plates in the light that the two of them could not see clearly, and then the thick vise
The base finally burned through the heavy wooden workbench and went straight to the ground.
At this time, the two of them were talking with their hands covering their eyes:
"Why is this thing so bright! Is this normal or abnormal?"
"I don't know, this is the first time I've seen it."
"Do you feel burned through?"
"It should have been burned through." Polu pulled back the switch. At this moment, he felt the ground beneath his feet suddenly shake.
"Be careful!" Leah strangled Bolu's neck again and knocked him out of the wooden wall. Just when Bolu was about to suffocate, he saw the floor in the laboratory suddenly arched around the workbench.
A stream of white steam rolled up the soil like a volcanic eruption and hit the roof. The house was shaken to pieces like it was made of building blocks, falling all over the floor. The steam that had calmed down came from the wooden boards that had turned into ruins.
Escape.
"..."
When the people around heard the noise, they quickly gathered around.
"What's wrong?"
Polu felt that his face was burning, and it should have been as red as a monkey's butt, but at this time he had to stand up and express his position:
"It's okay! It exploded during an experiment, don't panic! Don't panic! It was a technical error!"
