Take it easy, I'm a serious game

Chapter 34 Copying the God Furnace
At 6:10 p.m. real time and 6:[-] a.m. Chidi time, Qin Chuan went online on time.

And Chen Jiu, who had figured out his online time, was already waiting for him in the lobby of the research institute.

"brother!"

As soon as he saw Chen Jiu, Qin Chuan immediately greeted him excitedly, and then asked:
"Hey, why didn't you talk in the group today? When did you trigger the easter egg? How did you trigger it? Why can't I trigger it? Is your player character special?"

A series of questions made Chen Jiu feel a little confused. After tidying up for a while, he chose an easy-to-accept way to tell Qin Chuan what happened the day before.

Of course, some details that Qin Chuan didn't need to know were hidden.

For example, the specific descriptions of "hometown" that I said when I communicated with Lin Shuang.

If Qin Chuan knew about this, he would probably have to ask how these lines came about again.
-
However, this is a problem. It is not enough to always trigger the plot by yourself. It seems that Shuanghe has to improve the line system as soon as possible. Later, when there is an event that needs to be promoted, the lines will be directly projected on the player interface, so that they can follow suit. Just think about it.

"It turns out that I knew that I would stay and chat with the NPC."

"But it's useless to stay. Who knows that the key word is Huaxia——and the NPC didn't ask me about my hometown. It was probably triggered randomly, and you happened to hit it."

"I think so too."

Chen Jiu nodded and replied kindly.

At this time, the sky in Chidi was still dark. Although Qin Chuan was eager to verify the new easter eggs, the NPCs hadn't woken up yet, so he couldn't force them up.

So, in order to divert his attention, he had no choice but to continue tossing the pile of dismantled parts.

Chen Jiu squatted beside him curiously, and asked:
"How far have you progressed in the mission of this technology route?"

"The generator is basically done, and I changed it to wind power."

"I removed two batteries from the large emergency light, and then removed some inverters from the washing machine and range hood. Now I can basically guarantee 5KW stable power generation-but the premise is that the wind can be used."

"The bad weather on the red ground basically blows strong winds every day. It should be no problem, but just in case, I added a manual module to it."

While speaking, Qin Feng pointed to the four-shaped generator next to him and introduced:

"I use a modular design for this thing. Once the fan blades are removed and the bearings are connected, it can be hand-cranked to generate electricity, but the power will be much lower."

"So, I'm going to install a hamster cage for it, put the black bear in it later, and use it as fuel."

"...You really dare to think about it."

"What's the matter?"

Qin Chuan installed the bolt in his hand nonchalantly, and continued:

"There used to be squirrel cage cranes. There is no more convenient way than this when bioenergy can be used."

"Why don't people say that cotton harvesters in the 21st century are not as good as those in the 19th century? It's all the same."

"Hey, speaking of it, my generator is also black."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped and shut up.

".It's almost a sensitive word, but it's okay."

"Having said that, according to what you just told me, if we want to make full use of these refugees and the villagers of Xiahe Village, what we need to do now is to confirm the identity of the 'remnant of the God Race', right?"

"Yes."

Chen Jiu answered immediately, but then added:
"However, if you want to get stuck in a bug and die directly in front of them, you can't. Look at the entry, in Chidi's world view, neither humans nor gods can be resurrected from death. Only monsters can be resurrected from death."

"When I first met that NPC named Lin Shuang, didn't she think we were monsters and wanted to kill us?"

"Don't think about it like this, maybe the main plot will be destroyed."

Hearing Chen Jiu's words, Qin Chuan immediately waved his hands:
"Don't worry, I know the rules—haven't you seen that every time I get seriously injured, I either die outside or stay in the institute to close the door before I die?"

"What I mean is, if we want to confirm our status as the remnants of the Protoss, we must show them our divine power."

"Electricity counts as one direction, but it's not enough."

"I'm going to use the equipment at hand to give them a whole lot of work"

"What's the big deal?"

Chen Jiu asked cautiously.

"I want to copy their sacred furnace!"

Qin Chuan replied firmly.

"What the hell??"

"This is my plan."

Qin Chuan put down the tools in his hand, and began to explain to Chen Jiu in detail.

Chen Jiu was startled by Qin Chuan at first, he thought that the other party really wanted to make a microwave radar, but after listening to his description, Chen Jiu heaved a sigh of relief.

Oh, originally just wanted to build an oversized electric heater.

"Is this thing really necessary? We cut so much firewood, isn't it just for burning? I remember we talked about laying the floor heating system at the beginning?"

"That's different. Now our goal has changed. Since we are the remnants of the Protoss, that means, even if it's heating, we have to use ways they can't understand!"

"If we don't do this, how can we show our divine power?"

"As for the firewood, just treat it as a backup!"

Qin Chuan's face was full of confidence, and this kind of confidence made Chen Jiu couldn't help thinking:
What he said makes sense, why don't you give it a try?
According to this plan, if Qin Chuan wanted to manufacture an electric heater that could actually be used in Qin Chuan's mind, there were three problems they had to solve.

First is electricity.

To support large electric heaters, it is not enough to rely on a 5KW generator. Qinchuan also needs to continue to transform the remaining three diesel generators and improve the power generation efficiency as much as possible.

The second, basic civil engineering.

After all, it is impossible to place electric heaters directly on the ground. They need to build special foundations and safe houses for this equipment.

The third is the source of the heating wire.

This is the hardest part.

Generally speaking, the materials used for heating wires are nothing more than iron-soldered aluminum, constantan wire or nickel-chromium alloy. The latter two are expensive to prepare and difficult to obtain materials. Their best choice is iron-soldered aluminum.

In terms of aluminum materials, there are a large number of electrical appliances and equipment with aluminum casings in the research institute, and it is over after dismantling them all.

But the steel can only be removed from the steel skeletons that protrude from the ground in the Wanku Forest.

It's basically a non-hazardous job, but it's too much work to do with 4 players.

In addition, the synthesis and smelting of materials is also a problem.

Anyone can build a soil blast furnace, but a soil blast furnace is absolutely unable to support the demand for synthetic iron soldering aluminum.

Must be a reverberatory furnace.

Even a reverberatory furnace with a masonry structure is much stronger than an earthen blast furnace.

Neither Qin Chuan nor Chen Jiu knew how to build a reverberatory furnace, but fortunately, the blueprint of this thing can be obtained from reality, and when all the materials are ready, they can follow suit.
So, two hours later, the two called together all the refugees in the camp and issued a new task to them:

Gather steel from ruins, gather clay, and create hollow mud bricks!
