In other words, out of the blueprints for these four products, only one is currently suitable for him: the Aerodynamic Bicycle Design Blueprint.

As for the other design blueprints, Zhang Yi could only give up on them. So, he immediately purchased the Aerodynamic Bicycle Design Blueprint.

After purchasing the blueprint, a large stack of blueprints immediately appeared on the table in front of Zhang Yi. These were the blueprints he had spent forty Scholar Coins on.

After getting the blueprints, Zhang Yi first checked the production process on them to confirm whether humanity, at its current level of civilization, could produce this bicycle.

After a glance, Zhang Yi found that this bicycle blueprint truly lived up to its name as a pure mechanical bicycle blueprint. Most of the materials for the entire bicycle were made of Titanium Alloy, and all the components were made of metal materials. Even the bicycle tires were mechanical structures, without any other materials.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi felt relieved. After all, the basic materials for this bicycle were just Titanium Alloy and some steel. For the current level of civilization and technology, obtaining these materials was very convenient. Take Titanium Alloy, for example; it was available on the market, and steel was even more readily available.

However, there was one very troublesome point: some parts on this bicycle required very high precision, especially the Air Motor of the Aerodynamic Bicycle. According to the description on the blueprint, the precision requirements for this motor were abnormally high. Zhang Yi even suspected that even parts processed using a CNC Machine would not meet the requirements on the blueprint.

Another thing was the mechanical tire technology on this bicycle. There was a Soft Alloy on these tires that had properties similar to rubber, and the smelting cost was also very low, not more expensive than rubber. However, current human civilization did not have it at all.

The mechanical structure of this mechanical tire was also very unique. Fortunately, although the mechanical tire was complex, Zhang Yi could still understand it and was confident in manufacturing it. As for that unique Soft Alloy, Zhang Yi temporarily did not have the conditions to smelt it.

However, this did not mean that he had no way to manufacture this mechanical tire. That was, for the parts of the mechanical tire that required Soft Alloy, he would temporarily use rubber instead, and then smelt it when he had the conditions.

After carefully confirming again, Zhang Yi found that he could indeed produce this bicycle in a short time. So, he carefully marked the places on these blueprints that could be patented, and then carefully put the blueprints away.

Because, even such a simple Aerodynamic Bicycle could not be produced by his family's workshop for the time being. Some equipment had to be added to the factory before it could be produced.

After putting away the blueprints, Zhang Yi opened the computer on the table and searched online for production equipment and prices.

After checking, Zhang Yi was depressed to find that the little money he had in hand was far from enough, not to mention producing this bicycle, but even just buying the CNC Machines and other equipment needed for production.

The price of just one ordinary CNC Machine online was already over a hundred thousand, and this was the worst kind. If he wanted a good precision machine tool, it would cost at least a million.

When Zhang Yi turned off the computer, the sky outside had already darkened. However, Xiao Hua was still working. She hadn't rested at all during the afternoon's work.

Zhang Yi walked out of the office and came to the side of the machine tool. By this time, several hundred processed parts were already placed next to the machine tool. He really didn't know how Xiao Hua had completed so many parts in such a short time, and they seemed to be of very good quality.

When Xiao Hua finished processing the part in her hand, Zhang Yi turned off the power switch of the machine tool, because he knew that if he didn't turn off the machine, he wouldn't be able to get Xiao Hua to stop.

"Xiao Hua! You must be hungry! Let's go out to eat! We can't finish so many parts today!" Zhang Yi said to Xiao Hua after turning off the machine tool.

"You're the one who's hungry! I really don't know why you humans have to eat so many meals a day. Isn't it troublesome?

Unlike us Dwarves, one meal a day is enough." Although Xiao Hua said this, she still got off the iron stool and walked upstairs.

After Xiao Hua went up, Zhang Yi began to clean up the various iron filings on the machine tool and clean the area around the machine tool.

When Zhang Yi was almost finished cleaning, Xiao Hua also came down from upstairs after changing her clothes. Although Zhang Yi had seen Xiao Hua wear clothes other than her work clothes many times, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw Xiao Hua wearing a beautiful princess dress.

Perhaps seeing Zhang Yi in a daze, a cute smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Hua's face, and she came to Zhang Yi's side and said crisply, "Boss, let's go!" After saying that, she casually pulled Zhang Yi's arm and walked outside.

At this time, Zhang Yi's face turned slightly red, and he wanted to pull his hand out of Xiao Hua's hand. However, just like the previous times, Zhang Yi failed again. With his strength, he simply couldn't pull his hand out of Xiao Hua's hand.

So, with a face like he was going to the execution ground, Zhang Yi was pulled by Xiao Hua and walked towards the restaurant about a thousand meters away. With his other hand, he pressed the switch of the electric door, and the factory's rolling shutter door also slowly closed automatically.

Zhang Yi and Xiao Hua walked on the way to the restaurant. This short distance of less than a thousand meters was simply torture for Zhang Yi. Although there weren't many people on this road, and it wasn't a busy section, it wasn't an empty road either, especially at this time, which was the peak hour for getting off work, so there were quite a lot of people.

Therefore, when Zhang Yi was pulled by Xiao Hua like this, people on the road looked at them sideways, especially the young people, who all gave him a knowing look, which made Zhang Yi very embarrassed, and what was even worse was when he met acquaintances.

With Zhang Yi's expectant gaze, Zhang Yi and Xiao Hua finally arrived at the restaurant, and at this time, Xiao Hua finally let go of Zhang Yi's arm.

Only then did Zhang Yi feel relieved. Although he had gotten a little used to it in the past few days, he still couldn't stand the strange looks from people.

"Boss! What are we eating today? Still Sauerkraut Fish?" It has to be said that Chinese food is absolutely unbeatable. Even though Xiao Hua comes from another universe, she can't stop praising the various delicacies of China.

In Xiao Hua's words, the humans in your world aren't that great in other aspects, but when it comes to food, you are indeed incomparable to our Dwarves.

You know, the Dwarves, in that universe, their civilization has already developed to a level similar to Earth's current civilization, and perhaps even a bit higher than Earth's current level of civilization.

But even though their civilization has developed to this extent, they are still very bad when it comes to food. According to Xiao Hua, the food they eat hasn't changed much from ancient times to the present. In ancient times, their people ate black bread, and now, their people still eat black bread.

Of course, for Dwarves, alcohol is absolutely indispensable. Even Xiao Hua, as a female Dwarf, is unhappy without alcohol at every meal.

In fact, just yesterday, she even wanted to take a bottle of liquor next to the machine tool so she could quench her thirst while working. This gave Zhang Yi a cold sweat. If he hadn't discovered it early, he really didn't know what the consequences would be.
