Chapter 258: The Highest Cost in the Universe
On a planet with zero technology, except for the rough ore mine, the other veins buried underground are almost never moved.
Last year, from the beginning of September to the end of November, the Rat King and his seven-headed bamboo rat warriors wandered around the territory of the Jinping Mountains, looking for the god-given seeds, and at the same time, they also searched for the raw stone veins.
I have just been familiar with the environment, but I haven't found the god-given seed and the rough stone vein, but I just remember a few peaks with relatively high metal element content.
Banbu couldn't wait to set off and went to explore in person, inspecting them in turn.
Most of them are not veins, but only rich in metal elements in soil and rock.
Finally, a small limonite was locked, and the ore quality was relatively poor, with an iron content of less than 50%.
More than a dozen trips back and forth, bringing back about 2 tons of ore.
This time it is still a test of the metal ability corresponding to the supernatural vein, and there are no extra rough stones, so there is very little iron needed. The metal magic can directly convert non-metallic impurities into metal elements, and the purity requirements do not need to be too high, so Zebra simply made some charcoal blocks, and was too lazy to build an iron-making blast furnace and look for limestone or something.
……
Of all the God-given seeds, the Bloodthorn God-given Seed is the most adorable and obedient, and it has the strongest ability to swallow the Force, making it the best choice.
Banbu took out 20,000 rough stones, and the big head commanded the ant colony to cut them all into powder in one breath and put them in.
The Bloodthorn God-given Seed quickly absorbed the overflowing Force, and at the same time, it fed back into Banbu's body.
Banbu took control of it, infusing all of this force into the heart supernatural veins.
The whole process lasted less than half a day, absorbing enough Force power, and the last time the supernatural vein was lit up and activated again.
Banbu ate and drank to his heart's content, rested until late at night, and then took Datou and the seven-headed bamboo rat warrior to the entrance of the water intake hole in the mountaintop reservoir.
The alloy cauldron that cost 20,000 rough stones made last time came in handy by changing its name to the experimental "crucible".
The limonite was cut into small particles in advance by the bamboo rat warriors, and the charcoal was ground into powder, and the two were fully integrated.
Take one serving and put it in the pot.
Banbu locked the cauldron, opened his mouth, and a pillar of fire spewed, and uninterruptedly, another pillar of fire spewed.
Two pillars of fire, ultra-high flames directly melt the ore particles.
Carbon reduces iron oxide to pure iron.
Ignoring the sharp flickering light of the carapace Force veins, Banbu turned his mind and followed with the ability to activate his magical powers: manipulating the molten iron to separate from the impurities, forming a metal iron ball next to it.
"It's done!"
"Good purity!"
"I'll take control of it later, and then use my supernatural ability to make some chromium and nickel elements, which can probably be fused into stainless steel."
Zebubu was satisfied.
The seven-headed bamboo rat warriors stared at each other, and they could feel that the iron ball extracted by Banbu almost only contained a single iron element.
The Rat King asked, "What are zebra, chromium and nickel?" ”
"It's all metallic elements, metallic elements that are slightly better than iron," Madara said. ”
The Rat King asked again, "What is stainless steel?" ”
"A variety of metal elements are mixed to form a high-quality metal material that is corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and has high toughness and hardness. ”
The big head didn't have so many problems, commanding the worker ants, bringing animal meat and Force food to Banbu to replenish the physical energy and Force power that had just been consumed by the ability to release the flames.
By the time Zebra recovered, the iron pot had almost cooled down.
Bai Zhu stepped forward, picked off the waste residue in the pot, and put in new materials.
The old trick was repeated, and the second metal iron ball was refined.
……
The refining work did not go very smoothly, and each time the ability to release the flame took a considerable amount of time to recover. Banbu was at the top of the mountain, and after a busy night, plus a whole day, he finally refined 50 iron balls.
Each piece weighs about 20 kg and has a total of 1 ton of pure iron.
At this time, the light of the supernatural vein at the heart of Banbu also dimmed a little, and after careful induction calculation, it consumed the force of about 5,000 primordial stones.
Put 5 iron balls into the iron pot together, and spit out two flames in a row to melt them.
Activate the supernatural ability, manipulate the molten iron from the inside of the pot to flow outward, and at the same time form a straight hollow water pipe, and form a relatively large filter head at the top, which automatically spreads to the inside of the mountaintop reservoir.
The amount of material is just right, the filter head touches the bottom of the reservoir, and the water pipe protrudes about 2 meters out of the hole.
Rest and recover, then make a second water pipe.
Due to the limited materials and the limited ability of the zebra to exert its magical powers, the water pipe design is only 2.5 cm in diameter and the pipe wall is very thin. The material was spared, and the second water pipe spread 15 meters down the mountain.
Carrying the crucible and moving down the mountain.
Madara recovers from eating, and then continues to use his magical abilities to create water pipes.
……
It was busy until noon the next day, when the last water hose was made, and finally a faucet and a metal base to hold the faucet in place were carefully designed.
"It's the switch."
"If you go up, you will open, and when you open it, water will come out."
"On the contrary, going down is turning off the water."
Banbu explained simply, turned off the faucet, and went up the mountain with the big head and the seven heads.
Nowadays, the water pipe is divided into two sections, the first section is the first section from the dark reservoir; The second section leads to the bottom of the mountain, which is about 120 meters long and connects to the tap that comes out of the water.
Banbu asked the big head to command the ant colony, and the bamboo tube fetched water and poured water into the second section of the water pipe.
Finally, he used the few remaining supernatural abilities to manipulate the metal to perfectly connect the two sections of water pipes.
Returning to the location of the faucet at the bottom of the mountain, turning on the faucet, there was a "gurgling" sound, followed by a continuous stream of water with "bang-la-la".
Pull the handle down, the switch is closed, and the flow of water stops.
Lift up, the switch is turned on, and the water continues to come out.
"Wow!" The big head exclaimed, "Banbu, you are too powerful!" ”
Banbu was not without pride in his heart, and his mental power remained indifferent, and he instructed: "Big head, in the future, I will receive water here, save the 120-meter climbing distance up the mountain, and save the trouble of entering the dark reservoir to draw water." ”
"I see!" The big head was overjoyed and eager to try.
Banbu waved his tentacles and said, "Big head, you can try it." ”
The big head stepped forward, stretched out the forelimbs, opened, closed, opened, closed, tried several times, and the child who got the new toy alive kept cheering "wah, wow, wow, wow".
The seven-headed bamboo rat warriors all saw the novelty, and when the big head had enough, the rat king took the lead, and stepped forward to try it in turn, and was amazed and praised the zebra.
How did the water come out of the reservoir on its own? Incomprehensible.
Magical!
……
Since then, Li Zhufeng has used tap water.
And it is the most expensive water supply project in the universe, after calculation, counting the crucible, 12 meters of water pipe, the cost of more than 40,000 rough stones!
A magical skill of the Domination Realm, which is used to create water pipes. If the powerful man who died in battle knew about it, he would definitely be so angry that he would have come back to life, right?
Banbu is also helpless, due to the current strength and financial constraints, he can only show this basic ability.
Continuously casting the ability of fire, and also accurately manipulating and exerting supernatural ability, Madara was mentally exhausted, returned to the cave, lay on the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.
……
"Zebra, Zebra ......"
As soon as he fell asleep, before the dream began, the shouts of the big head sounded outside the cave.
"What's wrong?" Banbu's heart sank and asked, "It can't be that the faucet was broken by you, right?" The supernatural power is used up, and the original stone is not surplus, which is not repaired. ”
"No, no, it's good news." "The wind chime told me that a little warrior had just been born in its territory. ”
The big head said angrily again: "Banbu, have you noticed that this morning, the wind chime has been busy on the mountain, and it has shoveled all the bellflowers it has planted. I remember that it used to tempt Redrice and Firethorn to grow bellflowers with it, and it was so bad! ”
"It's all ......shoveled," Banbu shook his tentacles and muttered, "It seems that the little warrior was just born this morning, this thing is ruthless!" ”
Banbu comforted again: "Big head, the wind chime's soul has been injured, and it is not young, it must be promoted to the mountain master in recent years, and it may fail...... It wants to cultivate a direct descendant of its own, and it has also saved some belongings, probably to pass it on. ”
The big head was a little flustered when he heard this, and asked, "Failure...... What if it fails? ”
"What else can I do, I burned the corpse with a fire...... "Banbu sighed: "The danger of the wind chime's promotion to the mountain master is not very great, we don't need to worry too much, the key is that the wind chime himself is afraid." I'm tired, so I'll rest first, wake up and go to see it. ”
"By the way, big head, you keep watch, don't let them play with the faucet, that thing is not strong, and if it is broken, it really can't be repaired."
PS: There are currently 8 chapters in the manuscript, and I will work hard, and I will probably be able to break out in 10 tomorrow.
