Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 514 I Say, Let There Be Light
Inside Yeliu City.
Lin Qianxing is studying that new type of mineral material.
He tried several smelting and extraction methods and obtained ore crystals of varying purities.
The best one is a completely pale yellow crystal.
It looks like glass, but it is much stronger than ordinary glass.
Lin Qianxing discovered that this crystal has a characteristic. It will actively absorb light and heat, convert it into energy and store it in itself. After the storage is full, it will change its own characteristics and begin to slowly release light and heat, over and over again.
As it absorbed light and heat, Lin Qianxing felt that the temperature of the surrounding air had dropped a lot.
This made him understand why there were so many strange beasts near the open-pit mine.
Most of them went there to enjoy the cool air.
In subsequent research, Lin Qianxing discovered a way to actively convert its characteristics, which is to directly isolate it from light.
As long as they are in an almost light-free environment, they will slowly switch to output mode.
As Lin Qianxing switched complicatedly, the crystals he extracted flickered and looked extremely beautiful.
Lin Qianxing immediately named this thing "Flash Stone".
The next step is to study its efficiency in storing solar energy and how to better utilize its energy.
If it is used only for lighting, Lin Qianxing always feels that it is a bit of a waste.
Three days later, Lin Qianxing extracted nearly 500 kilograms of amphibole crystals from the pile of ore.
Yes, that's all.
The original amphibole has too many impurities and is not pure at all. This is the pure state.
If this kind of pure amphibole is exposed to the sun, the temperature around it can drop by more than 20 degrees in less than three minutes, and the light around it will be slightly dimmed.
Its energy absorption and storage efficiency is extremely high.
For example, a fist-sized amphibole can be exposed to the sun for a day and then sealed and used as a thermal energy device. It can maintain a stable heat release for more than dozens of hours and can drive a small mining vehicle.
It's a bit exaggerated.
So Lin Qianxing plans to collect more and make them into large power banks to power the city's machinery.
As for how to transmit energy?
This is not a big problem.
Lin Qianxing had been studying the energy transmission of this thing before, and had experimented with a number of materials using his mental power to guide it.
Finally, Lin Qianxing discovered a kind of [dark copper] that was very suitable for conducting this energy.
This is a new metal ore recently discovered in Yeliu City.
It is not particularly tough in itself, but it is extremely efficient in energy conduction.
Especially for heat energy, the loss in the middle is not large.
Lin Qianxing decided to use [Intermediate Reinforcement] for reinforcement and use this material as energy transportation for the city.
Lin Qianxing started the experiment right away.
In less than an hour, Lin Qianxing had built a basic device by himself.
A dark copper wire wrapped with bean shell material and a layer of reflective metal material, with a piece of amphibole and a small fan connected to both ends.
Lin Qianxing closed the flash stone device and switched it to output mode. The heat energy was concentrated by the device and transmitted through the dark copper wire, and soon gathered in the fan power supply device at the other end.
Immediately, after energy conversion, the mechanical energy started to operate and the fan began to rotate rapidly.
Lin Qianxing raised the corner of his mouth, it's feasible.
Then he touched the dark copper wire.
It's now extremely hot, which means a lot of energy is lost in the transmission process.
In addition, the temperature of the activation device of the amphibole itself is also very high.
Lin Qianxing feels that the overall energy utilization rate may be less than 10%.
But there is no other way. Due to the current limited conditions, it is already very good to be able to achieve this level.
If he didn't have [Intermediate Reinforcement] and the Hand of God, which could make miracles happen with great strength, even the current situation would take him an unknown amount of time to study and come up with.
After a few more days of experiments, improving the stability and safety of the materials, modifying the structure, and increasing the energy utilization rate, Lin Qianxing prepared to carry out the plan to light up Yeliu City.
During this period, he had people dig up a lot of amphibole ore and transport it back.
The amount of amphibole ore accumulated now has reached several tons, which is barely enough.
At least there is no problem lighting up Yeliu City.
Half a month later, in the very center of Yeliu City, a giant spherical amphibole crystal protruded from the surface and went straight into the air a hundred meters high. Surrounding it were glass that protected and gathered light and heat, as well as smoothly polished focusing mirrors.
In the underground Yeliu City, residents were eagerly looking at Lin Qianxing who was standing at the highest point and performing the final adjustments.
Soon, Lin Qianxing finished debugging. He smiled slightly, activated the button and said, "I said, there must be light!!"
In an instant, places all over Yeliu City were lit up by orange-yellow light.
Yeliu City is no longer shrouded in darkness!
Countless burning eyes were all turned to Lin Qianxing.
The residents of Yeliu City all bowed and expressed their respect to Lin Qianxing.
With a more stable light source, Lin Qianxing's work in Yeliu City became easier.
He now finally had time to study the corpse of the strange beast he had killed earlier.
That guy can actually spit out a beam of light to attack. If he studies the principle thoroughly, he should be able to make a pretty good weapon.
Afterwards, Lin Qianxing performed an autopsy on it.
The dissection progress was very slow because its body was extremely tough. Lin Qianxing couldn't easily break its skin with his white ordinary knife. If it weren't for the blessing of the Hand of Heaven, it would have been difficult for him to really hurt it.
Even so, Lin Qianxing had used up the durability of many dissection tools before he could barely dissect a part of it.
Then Lin Qianxing studied the dissected parts.
At the same time, new extract was extracted.
Previously, Lin Qianxing extracted a liquid from the armored scorpion that could make animal fur and other things hard.
Lin Qianxing didn’t know what he could extract from this lion-headed dinosaur.
After a long time, Lin Qianxing sat next to the flash stone refrigerator, wiping the sweat off his face while carefully looking at the things in front of him.
It was an extract that glowed with orange light.
Its temperature is incredibly high, like burning flowing magma.
After this thing appeared, the temperature in the room rose by more than ten degrees.
[Unnamed Extract [Green Spiritual Product (Ultimate)]: An extract containing a special essence. Drinking it may give you some special abilities. [Ultimate Skill: Primary Strength Enhancement.] [Ultimate Skill: Primary Physical Enhancement.] [Ultimate Skill: Primary Mental Enhancement.]]
[Primary Strength Enhancement: After drinking, the strength attribute is slightly improved.]
[Primary physical strength enhancement: After drinking, physical strength attributes are slightly improved.]
[Primary Mental Enhancement: After drinking, mental attributes are slightly improved.]
Lin Qianxing's eyes were filled with ripples.
Is this stuff really drinkable?
Lin Qianxing doubted whether he would reopen directly after drinking.
You know, even if it is an elixir, if you don't have a strong enough physique, you will burst after eating it.
Although this thing in front of him looked good, it was obviously not something he could drink with his current physical condition.
After thinking about it, Lin Qianxing decided to do an experiment on the stone-eared rat first.
He took out a dropper, took a drop and fed it to a slightly stronger rock-eared mouse.
After the stone-eared mouse finished eating, it scratched its ears and cheeks and rolled on the ground.
But after a long time, it became full of life and became much more lively.
Lin Qianxing collected some data, but it was not enough, so he continued to conduct experiments with other stone-eared mice, and conducted new experiments on the stone-eared mouse with a higher dosage.
Five days later, Lin Qianxing came to a rough conclusion.
This thing does have the effect of strengthening the body and mind.
And not only that, it also allows the creatures that eat it to master the function of transforming and storing a certain kind of energy.
That kind of energy was the same beam of light that the lion-headed dinosaur had sprayed out before.
Lin Qianxing didn't know the specific situation, but among the stone-eared mice he raised, one was now able to emit very thin rays of light.
Of course, the temperature is not high and it is not very condensed, so it can only be used as a lighter.
Afterwards, Lin Qianxing planned to conduct human experiments.
He found someone from the exploration team, roughly calculated the dosage, and asked him to drink one to see the effect.
After drinking the extract, he didn't react much at first, but then he started scratching his ears and cheeks like the stone-eared rat.
“It’s so hot, so hot!!”
The man shouted, took off his clothes, and then rolled on the ground.
Lin Qianxing blew the cooling fan towards him, but it still couldn't relieve the pain. His body temperature had reached a terrifying level and his skin was as red as if it was roasted.
But he never fainted. Instead, he became more energetic with various activities.
Lin Qianxing recorded the data and watched his changes nervously.
After a while, the color of his body returned to normal and his body temperature gradually returned to normal.
Lin Qianxing asked: "How do you feel?"
"Very energetic." The man said with his eyes wide open, "And he seems to have endless energy."
Lin Qianxing nodded and took out various equipment for him to test.
He had previously recorded this man's strength. After testing him now, he found that this man's strength had increased by two or three hundred pounds, and his physical strength and so on had also greatly improved. As for the improvement in his mental aspects, it was not very obvious.
"Can you spit out something?" Lin Qianxing asked after recording the basics.
"Vomit?" The man was stunned for a moment, then said: "It seems possible!!"
He tried to exhale several times, but failed.
But his face turned red.
Just when Lin Qianxing was about to persuade him not to force it, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of condensed orange high-temperature energy from his mouth.
Poof!
Bang!
The ball of energy hit the metal target that Lin Qianxing asked him to test, and then disappeared.
The metal target made by Lin Qianxing is now covered with cracks and its durability has almost reached its limit.
Lin Qianxing looked back and saw that the member of the exploration team who spit out the ball of high-temperature energy seemed to be in a rather listless state. He seemed to have lost his soul and collapsed directly to the ground.
