Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 64 New Industrial Machinery
"After... two months, I finally opened [Intermediate Industry II]. With the permanent system tasks, [World Coins] are coming quickly. If I add some extraordinary people to kill zombies in the future, I estimate that I can get 100 coins per day. By then... I will also upgrade my Artisan Soul to the maximum level!"
Shen Jin glanced at the system's [Module Store], [Intermediate Industry II → Intermediate Industry III, cost: 1500 World Coins]
"Oh! It takes at least 20 days to open it for me! Uh... the intermediate craftsman soul only costs 500 [World Coins], so a week is enough..."
Shen Jin shook his head and decided not to think about it for the time being. Today's Artisan Soul equipment is very useful and can easily deal with zombies. He is not in a hurry to open the enhanced attributes and should develop the settlement first.
"Now, with the [MFE Power Storage Box], it's like having a large power storage station! The [CESU Power Storage Box] can store up to 30,000 kWh of electricity, while the [MFE Power Storage Box] can store up to 400,000 kWh of electricity. One is equivalent to 13 boxes! Not only is it convenient to charge, but it also takes up less space when you carry it with you!"
Shen Jin came to his third-floor workshop and took out three boxes labeled "Industrial Materials", in which he placed all the raw materials he needed to upgrade his industry, such as: [Iron Ingots], [Steel Ingots], [Copper Ingots], [Tin Ingots], [Redstone] (Graphite), [Rubber], [Diamonds], etc.
There is also some primary processed materials: [iron plate], [iron shell], [bronze plate], [bronze shell], [copper wire], [high-voltage wire], [general fluid unit (empty)], etc.
As well as some previously obsolete and redundant machines, these can be used as materials in later industrial production.
"Make [MFE power storage box] first"
The road to industry is based on electricity, and more advanced equipment requires massive amounts of electricity. The old wooden [power storage boxes] could only store 3,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is not enough to power today's machines.
【MFE power storage box】Synthesis formula:
[Energy Crystal] × 4 + [Insulated Gold Wire] × 4 + [Basic Mechanical Shell] × 1
"One [Energy Crystal] consumes four [Diamonds]. Four of them is 16. Wow, eat diamonds!"
If Shen Jin hadn’t taken over a diamond mine, the road to industry would probably have been blocked.
Thanks D City!
The other two materials were easy to get. As for gold, Shen Jin dug up the bank's underground safe and took out a lot of it, but he never used it because it was not suitable for most industrial materials.
Only high-end products like this require gold materials.
Shen Jin took out the corresponding materials from three boxes and synthesized an [MFE power storage box] in a few seconds. It was still a 1 cubic meter metal box. One of the sides had an interface that could be connected to wires to conduct electricity out. The other sides were movable and used to connect to the equipment that powered it. If the two machines in the industrial module were placed together, they would be automatically connected without the need for additional wiring.
"400,000 kWh of electricity is enough for an average family to use for a lifetime..."
This amount of electricity would amount to annual electricity consumption even if it were placed in a larger industrial workshop.
"Such a small thing can actually store so much electricity. If scientists study this thing thoroughly after the apocalypse, I'm afraid that power upgrades will be coming!"
Shen Jin connected the energy storage box to the wires coming out from under the wind turbine, and the amount of electricity began to increase slowly.
The reason why it is slow is that... the capacity is too large and the progress bar rises slowly.
"Now that the population is increasing, we can consider adding more wind farms. Previously, these units were built next to the inner city. The next step... is to build 20 more wind turbines along the coast, where the wind is stronger!"
In the city, there will always be buildings blocking the view, wind direction changes and other reasons. It is not as good as the empty coast. Shen Jin has not done any specific research, but the wind farms he has seen on TV are all on the seashore, lined up in a row, and even used as tourist attractions for tourists to visit. TV can't be wrong... right?
"Power storage has been upgraded, and item storage has also been upgraded!"
【Steel Storage Box】Synthesis formula:
[Steel Plate] × 4 + [Steel Casing] × 4
By replacing iron with steel, a better storage box can be produced. Shen Jin synthesized one and placed it on the ground. The outer shell had a more metallic luster than iron, and the color was also slightly different. It was not white like pure iron, but a silver-gray box. After opening it, there were 63 grids inside!
There are 18 more than [Iron Storage Boxes], and the storage capacity is greatly upgraded.
Shen Jin usually carries 20 iron storage boxes filled with various supplies, so for him, this upgrade is equivalent to 360 extra slots, which is quite considerable.
Next, Shen Jin made an [electrolyzer], which can use electricity to decompose liquid materials. For example, it can decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen, and decompose crude oil into diesel, gasoline and various raw materials. Depending on the power supply mode, different products are produced.
"Give this to Lao Fu. It will make him happy all night long!"
[Blast furnace] is a machine for making steel. Shen Jin has no shortage of steel. Most building materials in modern society are made of steel. On the contrary, pure iron is less available. Anyway, the total reserves of [steel] materials owned by Shen Jin have completely exceeded [iron]. He will definitely not make steel again. After all, iron can also be used to synthesize [pig iron alloy] and [knight slime alloy], unless... he digs up a large iron mine on the seabed.
【Blast Furnace】, Pass!
Shen Jin made a [recycling machine]. The function of this machine is to throw any organic matter into it and then produce powdered [waste]. This [waste] has two functions. One is to mix it with [bone meal] in a one-to-one ratio to synthesize [fertilizer] for farming. The other is that the [waste] can be burned!
"Well... here comes the problem. Isn't burning wood or coal more useful than this stuff? Besides... I ferment all my organic matter into [biogas], so I don't have time to put it in! As for [fertilizer]... I have a large fertilizer factory next to me, and the proportions inside must be more scientific. This mixture of [bone meal] and organic residue is too primitive. If it were taken to ancient times, it might be amazing. Now... forget it!"
【Recycling machine】, Pass!
“And the construction foam set, that’s really cool!”
[Construction Foam Backpack] + [Construction Foam Spray Gun] + [Brush] are a set, which are tools used to spray [Construction Foam] and dye it. [Construction Foam] is synthesized from [Construction Foam Powder] + [Water] in the [Fluid/Solid Canning Machine].
【Building Foam Powder】Synthesis formula:
[Stone powder] × 6 + [Sand] × 2 + [Clay] × 1
"There's too much [Stone Powder]! The [Ore Washing Machine] can wash out a box of it every day, so I can finally put it to good use..."
Shen Jin stockpiled about a dozen large boxes of [Stone Powder].
In fact, if Shen Jin does not have [Stone Powder], he can also obtain it by using [Powder Machine] to hit [Cobblestone].
One unit of [Construction Foam Powder] plus one unit of water can synthesize one unit of [Construction Foam]. After being loaded into the [Construction Foam Spray Gun], it can spray 10 blocks, or 10 cubic meters.
It is matched with the [scaffolding]. The [scaffolding] can be placed in advance to ensure that the sprayed foam will not be deformed, but will be adsorbed on the [scaffolding] to achieve a plastic effect. The sprayed [construction foam] is in foam form and will become solid after cooling outside for a period of time. Then you can use a [brush] to paint it in various colors.
"Try spraying a little..."
Shen Jin made a set, and then filled the [Fluid/Solid Filling Machine] with 8 units of [Construction Foam]. A spray gun can hold up to 8 units, which means spraying 80 blocks, while the [Construction Foam Backpack] can hold 80 units and spray 800!
After Shen Jin was dressed, a tube came out from the back of the backpack, which could be connected to the tail end of the spray gun. After closing, [construction foam] could be continuously supplied to the spray gun. Shen Jin used some wood to make a set of [scaffolding]. This thing was a disposable item and would solidify inside with the [construction foam]. "Puff puff puff——"
Shen Jin sprayed a pickaxe pattern in the backyard of the craftsman soul. A group of [scaffolding] was buried in the pickaxe pattern. The gray-white [construction foam] continued to harden in the air. Shen Jin touched it and said, " Well... I guess it will take a while to solidify. Since this thing is foam, then... it must be good at keeping warm. Moreover, the surface is smooth and delicate, which is very high-end. It is much better than the uneven [round stone]!"
After going beyond the most basic survival needs, Shen Jin has begun to pursue aesthetics. This [construction foam] material is simple to obtain, has good thermal insulation, and looks beautiful. "In the future, it can be used as the outer insulation layer of the building... and it can also be used as a decorative layer. It will be even better if you use a [brush] to apply various dyes!"
This wave, the construction party is ecstatic!
[Energy Crystal Battery] is a portable battery made of [Energy Crystal]. As long as you carry it with you, you can wirelessly charge any equipment and tools on your body. But Shen Jin doesn't really need it, because at present, all he needs to charge are [Electric Wrench], [Diamond Drill], [OD Scanner] and [Anemometer]. The power consumption is very small, and the previous [Advanced Rechargeable Battery] is enough. "This thing... seems to be used to power the [Nano Sword] that will appear in the future..."
That is a super powerful melee weapon of the industrial module. "I wonder which one is better, the one from the craftsman spirit? Oh, I don't want to think about that. I'll talk about it later. Now let's try this industrial killer weapon first!"
【Industrial TNT】!
Composition formula: [TNT] × 3 + [Flint] × 6
"An industrial upgraded version of [TNT] . I wonder if its power can catch up with the [Crystal Core Bomb]..."
Although the power of [TNT] can still pose a fatal threat to evolved zombies, it is a bit powerless against zombies above level one, and they still have to rely on extraordinary people to kill them.
Shen Jin wanted to try whether this [Industrial TNT] could directly tear through the defense of the first-level evolved zombie!
If that were possible...the zombie tide would become a joke.
Shen Jin synthesized one. It looked not much different from the original [TNT], except that it was heavier. "Is there a secret inside?"
Shen Jin flew to the last fortress that once resisted the zombie tide. The ground had become rough because of the TNT and crystal core bombs that Shen Jin and his team had dropped during the battle. It was a relic of modern warfare. Shen Jin placed an industrial TNT 500 meters away from the defense line. "This... should be safer, right?"
But on second thought, if it can fluctuate at a distance of 500 meters, then don't call it TNT, just call it a missile!
Use [Flint] to light the fuse and run!
A moment later, "BOOM!!!"
A huge explosion sound wave swept over with countless pieces of rubble. The purple armor on Shen Jin's body blocked all the damage for him. Shen Jin did not move at all, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...
At this time, a woman with exaggerated curves in the inner city seemed to have sensed something. She took out a small machine in the shape of a long strip, an oval, or a cone, and looked for a charger. "Such a strong energy fluctuation. It would be great if I could absorb some of it..."
…
Shen Jin has almost finished experimenting with the new machinery brought about by this industrial upgrade. Currently, there is only one left. After Shen Jin manufactures it, "Shang Qian should be very interested in this..."
