After making up his mind, Chen Wangping turned his head to look at the lightning-struck ironwood seedling, then turned to the golden eagle and said, "Let's go, the two of us will go pull the wires first. Look, this base is pitch black, without a single light."

Chen Wangping thought to himself that he should go back and ask where he could find something that could emit red and blue light.

Red and blue light have a significant effect on promoting plant growth.

However, if there is light, there must be something like a wall to block it.

Otherwise, the light will attract insects and attract other people's attention.

The lower the profile, the better in the wasteland.

In addition, you should use chili peppers and peppercorns to surround the entire territory, which should be able to drive away a lot of insects.

"One layer of wall, one layer of chili peppers. If these two layers can't stop it, let Xiao Tiemu handle it."

Looking at the performance of the lightning-struck ironwood seedling today, Chen Wangping felt that it alone could fully protect the current range of the base.

Soon, the golden eagle pulled the line in front, and Chen Wangping held the electric wire behind, and the two walked towards the underground river.

Chen Wangping made a rough estimate of the distance and found that it was at least 300 meters including the corner.

On the way back, he also thought about it and decided not to take any protective measures for the time being.

Anyway, there are only mine creatures here, so there is no need to worry about safety.

What if a mine rat really scratches the electric wire and gets electrocuted to death?

Materials are in short supply now, so every penny saved is a penny earned.

Observe the frequency of failures for a few days before focusing on protection.

Before setting off, Chen Wangping first connected a circuit breaker and a light bulb to serve as an indicator light at this end of the line.

"Swish, swish, swish"

Both Chen Wangping and the golden eagle moved very quickly, and they finished pulling the more than 300-meter line in more than half an hour.

Arriving at the underground river, Chen Wangping observed the water level. He found that the underground river was shallower at night, and he could faintly see some swimming figures through the water surface.

"I remember when I played games before, there were different types of fish to catch during the day and at night. I wonder if it's the same here. I'll come and try it when I have time."

Chen Wangping took out the water pump and pointed it at the river.

At this time, he saw many virtual boxes appearing by the river, including a green box and many red boxes.

He held the water pump and released it towards the red box, but found a line of prompts popping up.

[Water pumps cannot be placed here. Forcibly placing them will double the speed at which the pumps' durability is consumed.]

Chen Wangping was a little helpless. It turned out that there was only one place where the water pump could be placed normally.

He walked over and observed the difference between the green frame and the red frame, and found that it actually lay in the flatness of the ground and the shape of the stones under the river bank.

The red frame is uneven and has many rocks, which may poke the pipe.

Chen Wangping thought to himself, "When I get an excavator, I'll level it all! And put up water pumps everywhere."

Walking to the green box, Chen Wangping put down the water pump.

The thick pipe fell into the river, splashing water. There was a filtering device at the bottom of the pumping pipe, which automatically isolated algae, fish and other debris.

But at this time it was quiet and nothing happened.

He observed the structure and found that there was no fuel port. He wondered if it was the self-siphoning principle.

Chen Wangping simply connected the pipe to the water outlet of the water pump and put the boiler down.

The boiler style also has a strong industrial beauty, and its shape is similar to a cake roll, rough and atmospheric!

A fuel shortage warning immediately appeared above the boiler.

Chen Wangping did not rush to throw in the fuel, but instead connected a steam generator to the boiler's outlet.

This connects them into a line.

At this time, a sign indicating the lack of water steam also appeared on the steam generator.

Chen Wangping took out the coal and threw it into the boiler.

"The thermal mining machine consumes one block of coal per hour, and the boiler's energy consumption is four times that. Therefore, the boiler should consume four blocks of coal per hour."

With the coal, the boiler made a dull sound and slowly started to operate, with puffs of black smoke coming out of the chimney.

While the boiler was running, the water pump also made a grunting sound as it sucked water.

The water sucked out by the pump reaches the boiler through the pipe and is quickly heated into 165-degree steam by the boiler.

The steam reaches the steam generator along the steam outlet, quickly drives the turbine inside the steam generator to rotate, cuts the magnetic lines of force and starts generating electricity.

Chen Wangping ran out to take a look at the base and found that the indicator light he had connected earlier had lit up.

There is electricity.

However, the steam generator and boiler are a bit noisy.

"Buzz buzz buzz"

Listening to the noise, Chen Wangping thought that it was a good thing that the underground river was far enough away from the base. If a steam generator was built next to the base, he would have no chance of sleeping.

After waiting for the steam generator to be fully operational, Chen Wangping clicked on the territory's power generation query and found that with the steam generator and the wind turbine, the territory's power generation had reached 12kWH.

10kWH of this is provided by steam generators.

Moreover, steam generators are much more stable than wind turbines.

Well, this is a bit of a consumption.

Four pieces of coal an hour, that's ninety-six pieces of coal a day.

Chen Wangping thought for a moment and said, "We still have over 300 pieces of coal, all dug from our own coal mine. It's only enough for a few days. But now that our energy supply has increased, we can go back to the base and get some more thermal mining machines specifically for coal mining."

Before leaving, he put forty pieces of coal into the boiler coal box to fill it up.

Go home and build something!
