Chapter 17 Arc



Li Shiming held two black silicon-carbon rods in his hands. He spent five full days on these two silicon-carbon rods.

Due to limited conditions, he used a more primitive method, namely burial sintering.

I learned from the servant Mo Yan that there was black stone in a nearby mountain. Black stone is coal. Since coal produces toxic gas when burned, few people in this world use coal as fuel.

He used five carts of coal to successfully burn two silicon carbon rods.

In other words, his consciousness is involved in the computer room, which can isolate the heat and harmful substances. Otherwise, he would not dare to perform such operations in the computer room.

However, with the current level of technology in the world, even if he used the method of making silicon carbon rods, no one would be able to make it.

He was able to achieve success because he was constantly monitoring the changes in materials within the computer room.

His consciousness controlled several customized parts sent by his servant Mo Yan, and combined them with the insulation materials he had processed himself to form a peculiar device.

Even professionals in the previous life could not figure out what the use of this thing was.

Because even if Li Shiming installed two silicon carbon rods on it, it would not be able to achieve the desired effect.

This is an electric arc furnace that is missing important components, namely the power supply high-voltage package and electronic control equipment.

It’s not that Li Shiming doesn’t have the knowledge to make high-voltage transformers, capacitors, resistors and other electronic components, but the problem is that he lacks too many basic materials, so he has no idea where to start.

The solution he thought of was very simple. The uninterruptible power supply in the machine room could output the high voltage electricity required by the arc furnace by simply adjusting the instructions. As for the problems with the electrical control, the uninterruptible power supply could also handle them.

The reason for building an electric arc furnace was mainly for self-protection. With the electric arc furnace, he could smelt iron by himself. Using consciousness control in the machine room, he could shape the steel into any shape while ensuring the accuracy.

In addition, with the electric arc furnace, depending on the input power, high temperatures ranging from 1,300 to nearly 2,000 degrees are enough to easily process and produce most basic materials.

Only with the basic materials can many technological products from previous lives be brought back to the world.

Of course, there is no rush to process and make basic materials. Before making something to protect himself, he still needs to make the most critical thing.

These days he has reduced his electricity consumption and used his consciousness to drive the generator every day to replenish the power in the uninterruptible power supply. By today, the uninterruptible power supply was fully charged.

The accumulated electricity is used for the electric arc furnace.

His consciousness called up the design drawing which had been modified several times and finally took shape.

This is a steam engine. The design drawing contains not only the blueprint of the steam engine, but also a table of the alloy compositions of the metals required for each component.

Consciousness used copper wires to guide the high voltage electricity output by the uninterruptible power supply into the two silicon carbon rods respectively, and an ultra-high temperature white light was generated between the two silicon carbon rods.

The iron and other metals that had been prepared long ago were controlled by consciousness and sent into the electric arc furnace in order, turning into molten iron alloy.

The high temperature in the electric arc furnace did not affect the consciousness. The consciousness checked the condition of the molten alloy iron. After finding that qualified molten alloy iron was formed, the electric arc furnace was disconnected from the uninterruptible power supply.

Consciousness carried the molten alloy iron out of the electric arc furnace and formed the required shape of parts in the air.

His consciousness in the computer room is almost equivalent to the function of various high-precision machines.

It was precisely because of the special space of the computer room that he was able to complete his vision according to his wishes.

After the first part had cooled down, he took it out of the machine room.

Looking at the parts in his hand, the metallic texture with the style of his previous life made him feel like tears welling up in his eyes.

I have made a lot of things before, but those were not in the style of my previous life. The parts in my hands are the first time that the technology of my previous life has been truly displayed in this world.

This part alone is not something that an ordinary craftsman can do.

Not to mention the perfect alloy formula, just the precision down to microns is something that ordinary craftsmen would not be able to produce.

In the absence of machine tools, perhaps only the so-called master craftsmen have the ability to do this using their hands.

Li Shiming had never seen the master carpenter's ability, and even with his family background, he did not have the ability to ask the master carpenter to work for him.

He looked at the electricity consumed. The electricity consumed by the high-pressure conversion was still within the controllable range. He did not stop and continued to operate the arc furnace.

Alloy parts were manufactured one by one. It was ten days later when the last alloy part was manufactured. There were still three days left until the Autumn Examination.

The reason why it took so many days was mainly because it took too much time to continuously replenish electricity and the arc furnace consumed electricity too quickly.

The electric arc furnace is a bit small, so parts like the flywheel and boiler are manufactured in sections and then finally welded together using electric arc.

In other words, his consciousness can sense the internal conditions of the parts within the machine room, otherwise segmented manufacturing will bring considerable hidden dangers.

Fortunately, all the troubles did not stop his manufacturing process, and a steam engine appeared in the engine room.

Water and coal were added to the steam engine, the coal was ignited, and when the water temperature rose, the flywheel slowly turned. As the water temperature increased, the flywheel turned faster and faster.

The flywheel turns the rotor of the generator, which rotates to generate electricity.

Electricity flows into the uninterruptible power supply, replenishing the power consumption.

As long as there is water and coal, electricity will be continuously output.

Of course, the generator has also been modified. After having an electric arc furnace, he used his consciousness to control and create micron-sized rollers, which replaced the cowhide lubrication device on the generator, greatly improving the efficiency of the generator.

The electricity produced can not only support the operation of the electric arc furnace, but also enable the large-scale server IBMz15 to no longer be in hibernation, fully unleashing its computing power without any restrictions.

Li Shiming no longer needed to expend his energy. He only had to replenish coal and water every once in a while and regularly discharge the impurities and gases that were confined to a fixed range in the machine room.

He did not waste time in cultivation these days. He had reached the peak of the first level of the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' and it would not be long before he could try to reach the second level.

He didn't know how fast he was practicing, but the spiritual energy in his body had increased a lot, and he could barely learn low-level spells.

He planned to start learning three spells after the Autumn Examination was over and he reached the second level of Qi Refining. These were the only three spells he could come into contact with, he had no choice.

Li Shiming's consciousness entered the large server IBMz15, with 190 CPUs, 40T memory, and hard disk array cabinets all activated.

His consciousness was connected to the large server IBM z15. After the large server IBM z15 was fully operational, he felt dizzy.

That was caused by a large amount of data being refreshed at the same time, and his brain couldn't keep up.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect that he couldn't keep up with the computing speed of the large server IBMz15.

He solved the problem by adjusting the connection to the large server IBM z15 so that the data exchange with his brain data would create a buffer in the memory.
