Lou Gao Gives His Heart

Lou Gao's suggestion was to miniaturize and make the Steam Engine portable.

Due to technical limitations, the Steam Engine built by Quan Yi was a large machine. Although it was very powerful, it was still quite cumbersome overall.

Quan Yi adheres to the philosophy that miracles happen through sheer force, creating everything we have today.

However, when Lou Gao offered his opinion, Quan Yi immediately felt that recruiting Lou Gao was an excellent idea.

Reducing the Steam Engine sounds simple, but it's difficult in practice.

It couldn't be accomplished simply by scaling it down; the makers had to make the Steam Engine's structure more efficient and simpler.

Coincidentally, Lou Gao himself is skilled at making intricate objects, making him an excellent candidate for research.

Immediately, Quan Yi followed Lou Gao's idea and proposed a concept about a ' Steam Automobile '.

Unexpectedly, Lou Gao built it not long after.

Quan Yi walked up to the car and carefully examined the complex components mounted on its roof.

The combustion chamber, boiler, Piston Steam Engine, and rear wheel linked to the engine are arranged in a simple and clear manner.

Moreover, Quan Yi could see that the metals used in each component were different, and Lou Gao selected Alloy with different properties to match the functions of the components.

Seeing this, Quan Yi not only admired Lou Gao's spirit of striving for perfection, but was also amazed by the profound knowledge of the Godly Blacksmith.

"Clap clap clap!"

Quan Yi clapped his hands on the Lou Gao and exclaimed, "Perfect! This is a true Grandmaster. The Grandmaster is indeed Godly Blacksmith; his forging skills have reached the pinnacle."

Lou Gao was incredibly excited to hear Quan Yi's praise.

After a year of getting along, Quan Yi's status in his heart grew higher and higher, and the various wonderful ideas in Quan Yi's mind were a great inspiration to him.

Their relationship also shifted to one of mentor and friend; Lou Gao drew inspiration from Quan Yi, while Quan Yi drew experience from Lou Gao.

Therefore, gaining Quan Yi's approval was of great significance to Lou Gao.

"Young Master, I have only made slight improvements to the existing technology. The real genius is you, Young Master. If it weren't for Young Master, I would never have thought of these things."

Hearing Lou Gao's humble words, Quan Yi sincerely grasped Lou Gao's hands and said, "With Grandmaster, our Quan Family is like a tiger with wings. In the future, we will also need to rely on Grandmaster's skills and wisdom. Therefore, I sincerely hope that Master Lou will take care of his health. In the future, we will work together to overcome other difficulties."

At this moment, Quan Yi's heart was filled with genuine feelings, and Lou Gao's actions had opened Quan Yi's heart.

Lou Gao has met countless people, and he could feel Quan Yi's attention and care for him, which warmed his heart.

However, Quan Yi's way of expressing himself was too direct, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Young Master, please allow me to introduce the performance of the Steam Automobile."

Quan Yi extended his hand and said, "Please."

Lou Gao cleared his throat and said, "The entire Automatic Car is made of metal, and the body can carry two passengers. According to tests, the Automatic Car's top speed can reach 100 kilometers per hour, and the average operating speed can reach 80 kilometers per hour."

Theoretically, this Automatic Car could run indefinitely as long as fuel and water were continuously added.

Lou Gao has absolute confidence in the durability of the equipment.

Lou Gao confidently looked at Quan Yi, expecting a look of surprise from Quan Yi. However, Lou Gao saw Quan Yi's expression darken slightly as he fell into thought.

Lou Gao asked somewhat nervously, "Young Master, is there a problem?"

Quan Yi replied, "The work itself is flawless, practically perfect. However, it still has some shortcomings."

Lou Gao, feeling somewhat unconvinced when Quan Yi pointed out the flaws in his work, asked, "Please enlighten me Young Master."

Seeing that Lou Gao was somewhat unconvinced, Quan Yi smiled and said, "The biggest drawback of this car is its replicability! If I'm not mistaken, many of the important parts of this Automatic Car were forged by the Grandmaster himself, right?"

Lou Gao nodded and said, "That's right. In order to ensure quality, I used manual forging when forging key parts. However, this is because the existing tools cannot meet my requirements."

Quan Yi advised, "I greatly admire Master Lou's pursuit of excellence. However, Grandmaster must understand that our ultimate goal is to popularize it. To achieve this, we must master the ability to produce quickly and in large quantities."

This is also the direction our Quan Family Blacksmith Shop strives for.

Lou Gao pondered the reasoning Quan Yi had given him, then looked up and asked, "Production Line? Does the Young Master mean I should build Production Line specifically for producing Automatic Car?"

Quan Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right. To do a good job, you must first have the right tools. One person's strength is ultimately limited. Only by mastering the methods of cooperation can we greatly improve efficiency."

Master Lou's time and energy are very precious; we can't waste all of his time on forging.

Lou Gao finally understood Quan Yi's meaning.

Quan Yi meant that he should personally build the entire Production Line.

This is much more difficult than building an Automatic Car by hand.

On the contrary, once he completes the setup of the Production Line, he will be able to produce Automatic Car continuously without having to put in any effort.

The Production Line is his other 'hammer'.

Thinking of this, Lou Gao felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

"Young Master, I understand. I will go and study how to build the entire Production Line now."

Quan Yi hurriedly grabbed Lou Gao's arm and advised, "I know you're in a hurry, Grandmaster, but please don't rush. This can't be rushed. Grandmaster haven't had much rest these past few days. Let's get your health back first before we start researching."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Lou Gao's perfunctory answer made Quan Yi sigh.

Left with no other choice, Quan Yi's tone suddenly turned stern as he said, "Master Lou, you are strictly forbidden from entering the Forging Room for the next week. This is not a request, but an order."

The chilling aura emanating from Quan Yi sent a shiver down the spines of everyone in the Forging Room.

Lou Gao's pupils contracted slightly, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, I will obey your orders, Young Master."

The aura emanating from Quan Yi was even more terrifying than it had been a few days ago, which filled Lou Gao with awe.

Seeing that Lou Gao had listened to him, Quan Yi immediately restrained his aura, patted Lou Gao on the shoulder, and turned to leave the Forging Room.

Stepping out of the Forging Room, Quan Yi's expression changed drastically, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

His performance in the Forging Room just now was all a cover-up.

Lou Gao truly lived up to his reputation as Godly Blacksmith of his time, actually managing to forge Steam Automobile.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Quan Yi.

At the same time, more thoughts began to surface in Quan Yi's mind.

With Lou Gao's talent, it would be a waste to only put him in charge of forging.

Quan Yi did this intentionally to cultivate Lou Gao into the chief engineer and chief designer of the Quan Family's future industry.

If Lou Gao can complete the Production Line for the Steam Automobile, it means that Quan Yi can take a big step towards his inner ambition.
