Xiao Zhi's answer really surprised Jiang An. She didn't expect that so many solar panels could only generate so little electricity, while the safe house would consume so much electricity in a day.

If the small ice maker hadn't been turned on today, she believed she would have remained completely in the dark.

Jiang An took a deep breath as she thought of this.

Look at the treasure chest on the ground, break it down, and put the materials into your backpack.

Next, she placed the small ice maker in the corner, filled the water storage container with purified water, plugged in the power, selected the shape and size of the ice cubes, and pressed the "start" button.

In an instant, the ice maker emitted a low "humming" sound, indicating that it had started working.

Before long, several square blocks of ice fell from the top of the ice outlet into the container below where ice was stored.

He took out an ice cube, put it in his mouth, and found it refreshingly cool and tangy. Jiang An was very satisfied with the ice maker.

Then he looked at the container that stored the ice and came to an amazing conclusion: this seemingly inconspicuous container could actually store hundreds or even thousands of ice cubes!

She never expected that a small iron box could open such a magical ice maker, whose function was extremely similar to that of a storage ring.

This ordinary item contains extremely extraordinary parts.

"I'm so lucky today! I didn't waste my 20+(1) luck points at all!" Jiang An thought to himself.

She had planned to sell water in her small shop that evening, but the appearance of the ice machine was like a timely rain.

Clearly, selling ice made through an ice maker would generate more substantial profits.

After all, it has undergone further processing, making it especially precious in this extremely hot desert region.

In fact, these ice cubes can also be made into various drinks. If she can do that, Jiang An believes they will be more popular with players here, and she will also gain more trading points. But as she said before, she has limited time and can only try it later.

For now, we should focus on selling ice and try to secure trading points, since ice makers don't require too much effort.

So why did she choose to sell water in the first place?

There are two reasons for this: firstly, she has found an oasis with a sufficient water supply;

Secondly, purified water now has a better alternative – the water stored inside the cactus stem, namely the sap from the green leaves.

Not only does green leaf juice have a better thirst-quenching effect, it can also replenish a small amount of physical strength, making it a superior product compared to purified water.

Since she has the ability to obtain better water resources, she should naturally reserve the highest quality water resources for herself.

Just then, Xiao Zhi's words and the worrying 63 kilowatt-hours of electricity suddenly flashed into Jiang An's mind.

At this time, the sky outside was completely shrouded in darkness, the sun had long since set, and it was impossible to generate any electricity tonight.

If this continues, the remaining 63 kilowatt-hours of electricity will soon be exhausted.

At that point, the entire energy system of the underground safe house will be paralyzed, and even the air conditioning will be unable to function properly.

Thinking of the terrible consequences, Jiang An rushed to the fuel room.

Upon entering the server room, Jiang An discovered that it remained in the same state as it had been at sea.

The use of multiple energy sources allows light energy to be converted into electrical energy and supplied to the entire underground safe house.

In addition, diesel and coal-fired power generation are available as backup options.

Since the electrical energy converted from solar energy is no longer sufficient to meet the demand, Jiang An must choose between two other methods.

She glanced at the small amount of coal and wood in her backpack, then at the diesel drums in the fuel room, and decided without hesitation to use diesel to generate electricity.

She had found this diesel drum in a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea; it contained a large amount of diesel fuel.

Later, Jiang An discovered an oil mine on the seabed and successfully extracted a considerable amount of oil.

When placed on the workbench, it was broken down into large quantities of diesel fuel, gasoline, and other substances.

Of course, the majority of it was diesel fuel, which she put into a huge diesel fuel drum.

Jiang An forcefully opened the diesel drum lid, then tilted the drum, and the liquid inside flowed into the machine through the pipe with a "whoosh".

Once the oil level reached the standard line, Jiang An decisively pressed the "start" button on the machine.

Instantly, the machine emitted a "boom boom boom" sound, and then the diesel fuel began to burn, generating power and converting it into electrical energy.

As time went on, the numbers on the meter kept climbing, and Jiang An nodded with satisfaction.

After leaving the computer room, Jiang An went to the planting room.

She picked up the bucket and watered each plant evenly with the water it needed for the day.

Then, she turned and went to the next room to see how the little turtle and the little mouse were doing.

Upon entering the room, Jiang An saw the little turtle focused on its work, but it still keenly sensed Jiang An's arrival.

It excitedly raised its head and shouted loudly to Jiang An, "Mom, Mom, look, we're almost done with the task you gave us!" Its big, round eyes were full of expectation as it stared straight at Jiang An.

At the same time, the little mouse happily hopped and skipped over to Jiang An, its eyes sparkling with joy, as if it were waiting for something.

Looking at the longing in the eyes of the two little ones, Jiang An felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

She smiled and walked over to them, gently stroking their little heads, then took out two snake fruits from her storage ring.

She said gently, "Here, this is a reward for your hard work."
