Luo Qing exclaimed, "Ancestor, this thing is moving on its own!"
“Yes, it started moving on its own,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Why can it move?" Luo Qing asked again.
Night Breeze pointed to the high-temperature steam spewing from the pressure relief valve and asked, "What is this?"
“Water vapor,” Luo Qing said without hesitation.
"Yes, it's water vapor, the water vapor formed after water boils, and that's the power source for this mechanical device," Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Could this huge iron wheel be propelled by water vapor? Water vapor actually possesses such great power!" Luo Qing was extremely shocked.
"Of course, haven't you ever seen the lid of a pot boiled water being lifted off by the steam?" Night Wind asked.
Luo Qing and Xu Ping'an both showed thoughtful expressions, and even Zijing racked her brains to think about it.
After a while, Xu Pingan said, "Using the Spirit Gathering Array to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, then coordinating with several other arrays to provide heat, then heating the water to generate steam, and then using the steam to drive this large iron wheel... what a brilliant and ingenious idea!"
"Lord of the City, how did you come up with such a wonderful design?"
Night Wind said, "It was just a fleeting inspiration."
Zijing asked, "So what is this lump of iron called?"
After a moment's thought, Night Breeze replied, "Psionic Steam Engine, or Steam Engine for short."
"Steam engine? Steam engine?"
Zijing repeated it many times, her eyes sparkling.
Luo Qing said, "This steam engine can be used for mining! The big iron wheel spins so fast, as long as you tie a rope to it, it can replace human labor and pull the mine cart out of the mine!"
"It's not just for mining; it can also be used to extract water," Xu Pingan added.
"It can be used for almost anything that requires manpower," Luo Qing added.
Xu Ping'an looked towards Ye Feng and exclaimed, "Lord City Lord, I see a revolution, a technological revolution!"
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Zijing asked.
"Of course!" Xu Ping'an nodded emphatically.
Night Breeze smiled with satisfaction and said, "I've already developed the psionic steam engine. How you use it is up to you. Qing'er, you'll be responsible for developing its new functions and integrating it into all sectors of our Xinluo City so that it can play its proper role."
"Yes, Ancestor!"
The next morning, Luo Qing dragged Ye Feng to the mine where Jiang Wei and the other guards were.
The mine had already been equipped with tracks, which were made of wood but were still usable.
"start!"
Luo Qing waved and shouted, and Jiang Wei, who was standing in front of the steam engine, lowered the control lever. The steam engine roared and started to turn, and carts loaded with spirit stones were pulled out of the mine.
This scene was quite shocking.
"The steam engine that our ancestor researched is really amazing!" Luo Qing exclaimed joyfully.
Ye Feng then looked at Jiang Wei and asked, "Could this steam engine replace some of the manpower?"
"It can be the work of at least ten people! No, maybe more!" Jiang Wei said excitedly.
Ye Feng added, "People from Jiangxia City have been arriving one after another, and more will be coming soon. Then you won't have to work so hard mining here anymore."
"Thank you very much, Ancestor!" Jiang Wei said gratefully.
It was just past noon, and the night breeze was about to take a short nap.
Unexpectedly, a loud bang suddenly came, and the sound came from the direction of Luo Qing's tent.
Could something have happened to Luo Qing?
The night wind was startled and grabbed Zijing, taking a step forward.
When they reappeared, Ye Feng was already standing in front of Luo Qing's tent with Zi Jing.
Luo Qing's tent was in ruins, with flames still burning and radial marks from the shockwave around it.
The two guards on duty here were pale-faced and clearly terrified.
"Where is Qing'er?" Ye Feng asked.
“Miss Luo Qing was just in the tent…” a guard said.
Before the guard could finish speaking, Ye Feng raised his hand and grabbed, shattering the tent's remains, from which a figure flew out.
Who else could it be but Luo Qing?
Luo Qing was injured, and quite seriously.
There were wounds on her chest, and bright red blood gushed out from them, staining her tattered clothes red.
Seeing Luo Qing so badly injured, the two guards were so frightened that they dared not breathe, fearing that Ye Feng would hold them accountable.
"Ancestor, have I done something wrong...?"
Luo Qing said with difficulty, and coughed before she could finish speaking.
"Don't speak yet, I'll treat you," Ye Feng said.
Ye Feng gently placed Luo Qing on the ground, then grasped her left wrist. Pure Dragon Emperor True Qi flowed from Ye Feng's palm, continuously pouring into Luo Qing's body.
Under the influence of the Dragon Emperor's True Qi, Luo Qing's wounds began to heal at a visible speed, and her complexion gradually improved.
Even Zijing, who usually loves to joke around, didn't dare to say a single unnecessary word at this moment.
Although she may lack manners, she knows what is important and what is not.
Fifteen minutes later, Luo Qing finally recovered.
Although she still has some scars, they are no longer a problem and will disappear completely in a few days.
"Now tell me, what exactly happened? Why did your tent suddenly explode?" Night Wind asked.
Luo Qing said somewhat awkwardly, "I...I'm trying to create spirit stones."
"To create spirit stones?" Ye Feng was taken aback.
Zijing shouted, "What the hell did you say? Create spirit stones? Spirit stones can be created?"
“Since spirit stones can be formed in underground veins, why can’t we manufacture them? As long as we can study the conditions for the natural formation of spirit stones, manufacturing them is not impossible,” Luo Qing said earnestly.
It must be said that Luo Qing's words make a lot of sense.
Night Breeze then asked, "But why did you try to create spirit stones?"
“My aunt was always worried about spirit stones, so I wanted to try to see if I could make them. If I succeed, then we'll never have to worry about spirit stones again,” Luo Qing said.
What a filial and good child!
Night Breeze looked pleased and asked, "Then how did you create spirit stones?"
"I think that since spirit stones contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a large amount of spiritual energy must be needed to create spirit stones. This is the key to the success of spirit stone making."
"Besides, we've been mining a spirit stone vein, haven't we? I've gone to check on it several times these past few days, and I think my approach is correct."
"The spirit stones in the spirit stone mine were originally just ordinary white crystals, and white crystals themselves have no value and are very cheap."
