The construction of the Portal camp was finally in order, and at the end of the day, all the people were assigned suitable tents, rather than huddled with others.

In the eyes of the engineers, the out-of-the-box mayor finally didn't dictate anything else, allowing them to study how Lighthouse Tech would build the lighthouse in the camp. Unbeknownst to the engineers, Li Jianghao's attention was focused on the only remaining steam core in the camp.

This thing is indispensable in the later stages of the camp's development, whether it is building robots that can work 24 hours a day, or building an infirmary that can accommodate more patients to avoid collapse, this thing is indispensable, representing the crystallization of steam technology.

In the eyes of the engineers, even if there is an order from the mayor to do anything with the steam core, it needs to be discussed with them beforehand. If they knew that Li Jianghao was going to use that steam core as a steam engine that they had never heard of, they might come to the door with a wrench and ask Li Jianghao to take back his life.

When the house was built, people's hopes rose a little, but new needs were also placed in front of Li Jianghao. When they escaped from New London, there were not only these eighty men, but many of them were separated from them and lost in the snow.

If they can't be retrieved as soon as possible, in the absence of a power tower, these people may all die outside once the temperature drops.

Many of those displaced are family members of people in the camps, and if they don't show the attitude of looking for them, they will not be able to sit in the position of mayor.

In fact, in order to complete the task, Li Jianghao will not let go of any of the people who are displaced on the ice field. In case you find some locations that don't appear in the game, find more people. The goal of surviving 700 people after the snowstorm is trivial.

"Mr. Mayor, the lighthouse has been installed in a position that is suitable for sunlight there, and the light reflected by the mirror can be noticed from a long distance." Andrew came with the blueprints of the lighthouse, and it was difficult for them, the engineers, to carry the design drawings along the way.

Although the lighthouse is still being installed, there are a few people who have had experience exploring outside before, and Li Jianghao still arranged for them to pay attention to the north as much as possible, explore the north without getting lost, and come back before dark. If you can meet some dead animals and bring them back, it can also alleviate the food problem. It's not a game after all, it's still flexible.

Li Jianghao was standing on the energy tower at this time, leaning on the bracket to feel the stability of each component when the energy tower was running. He looked at Andrew who came and said with a smile: "You can just look at these problems, I don't know much about science and technology." However, I just have a question to ask. ”

Andrew proudly straightened his collar and said, "Sir, please say, we are glad that Mr. can be so studious." Originally, we thought that you would have no respect for the whole science and technology because of some small innovative thinking. ”

Li Jianghao laughed and said, "That's not going to happen, technology is the most powerful weapon of human beings." Seriously, you know that the steam core needs to be powered by the steam delivery of the energy tower, whether it's a robot, a greenhouse, a medical clinic, etc. If the robot does not have steam for energy, or even stops moving, is it possible to drive the steam core by pure mechanical force and let it produce its own steam to work? ”

After listening to Li Jianghao's words, Andrew was shocked by this remark, only felt that his brain twitched, and immediately retorted loudly: "If the machinery that loads the steam core needs to work, it must be placed at a fixed pipe connection, that is, the construction mode that uses the steam core as a power drive." If you want to be mechanically driven and make it work on its own, you need to build a fixed steam hub to recharge it. Once the steam inside is exhausted, it stops working. Either way, the steam used to drive the steam core must be foreign, and the steam core cannot produce steam on its own! ”

After Andrew finished speaking at length, he even looked at Li Jianghao with strange eyes for a while, which made Li Jianghao a little embarrassed, and said: "If you think it can't be done, what do you mean by looking at me with such foolish eyes?" ”

Andrew took a deep breath to calm his mood and said, "Sir, you are highly educated, and you should understand the principle of conservation of energy. If there is anything that can make the steam core produce its own steam and then power itself, it must be something that God can do. ”

"It's a real problem. Okay, what else is there to find me besides the lighthouse thing? Li Jianghao was not ready to argue with this stubborn engineer, to be honest, if he wasn't a visitor from another world and had a system in his head, he wouldn't believe that this kind of thing that was more anti-heaven than a perpetual motion machine could be designed. However, even if the steam engine is built, it must be operated with a special track and a steam transport station, and there may be some way to solve this contradiction that I don't know.

Andrew coughed a few times to relieve some embarrassment, and was ready to report to Li Jianghao what he had seen in the past two days.

It's hard for this rigid pedant to realize that, in the eyes of some, he can be treated as a thief by reporting to the mayor alone.

It's just that the end of the world is coming now, and food and clothing are barely solved, and I haven't eaten this meal, so where can I worry about anything else. Andrew's actions only left a trace of mustard in the hearts of his companions, and did not take root.

After Andrew's debriefing, he has to leave, after all, he also needs to work. As he was leaving, he seemed to remember something and asked:

"Mayor, don't you really want to make the Steam Core what you said it is? Steam cores are precious, and the world no longer has the ability to recreate steam cores, so I hope you will consider it carefully. ”

Li Jianghao laughed and didn't answer positively, just asked him to leave first.

Andrew walked on the way back to the workstation, forcibly reassuring himself that he only needed to learn some basic craftsmanship to improve the tent, but it was impossible to design the kind of thing that the mayor said, and I was afraid that the kind of thing could not even be designed with drawings, so what were I worried about?

Andrew finally turned his head to look in the direction of the energy tower, his heart was always calm, and his heart was panicked.

At this moment, Li Jianghao is returning to the control room, and after checking the operating value of the energy tower every day, he sits at the work desk, sets up the paper and pencil and starts working.

On the table was a black gem with a red pattern around it, and a miniature typewriter. Bernard had noticed these two things, but he had never seen them used, and he couldn't remember where he found the sword-shaped metal that looked black and black and didn't know where it came from.

Now his head still hurts, and it doesn't feel good to be kicked in the face by a few workers.

Silence encompassed between the two men, with only the occasional roar of the vapor structure indicating its presence until the evening came again.

A frightened shout came from the originally stable camp, and the number in Li Jianghao's mind flashed red, jumping from 81 to 78. This means that three people died and the mission failed!
