Chapter 10: Investigating Hot Springs (or Water)



"Shut up! Whose side are you on?" The short-haired girl sharply stopped Xiaoqing from speaking.

"Alright, alright, whatever the reason, I apologize to you, okay? I'll leave now."

Chen Yu didn't want to argue with them anymore. If he saw them calling him a hooligan, he didn't see that they seemed even angrier, as if no matter what, it was all his fault.

Instead of arguing with the other party about these trivial matters, it's better to take the initiative to apologize and extricate yourself as soon as possible.

Watching Chen Yu's departing figure, the short-haired girl wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Qing beside her.

Having escaped, Chen Yu arrived at another area of ​​the scenic spot and lit a cigarette in frustration.

Just then, a young man approached Chen Yu, looking at him with admiration, and said:

"Brother, that's brilliant! I truly admire your strategy of retreating to advance! If I had met you sooner, I could have avoided getting beaten up so much more these past two years!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu glared at the young man angrily and said, "Get lost, I'm not on your side!"

The young man smiled sheepishly at this, but wasn't angry; he acted as if we were kindred spirits.

Seeing this, Chen Yu felt somewhat helpless, and in order to completely sever ties with the little hooligan in front of him.

He stated his purpose for coming here directly: "I'm here to invest in and build a factory; I'm here to survey the geographical environment!"

"Tch! You've come all this way to inspect hot springs for your factory investment?" the young man said dismissively.

"Can't I build a geothermal power plant?" Chen Yu said.

"Are you trying to fool me into thinking I don't understand geothermal power plants? The water temperature at the hot spring outlet is only 46 degrees Celsius. What kind of geothermal power plant are you building?" the young man laughed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Is that really the case?"

"Of course, how can you generate electricity if the water isn't even boiled? To generate electricity using geothermal energy, the outlet temperature needs to be at least 90°C," the young man explained.

His words carried a hint of pride, as if showing off his knowledge was something that made him very proud.

Chen Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this; he had indeed overlooked this point.

He had a general understanding of the principles of geothermal power generation, but he hadn't really noticed the requirements for the outlet temperature.

Moreover, the fact that the water temperature at the outlet of the hot spring area where he was located was only 46℃ was something he had really not expected.

The temperature was only 46°C before the extreme cold apocalypse, and it will probably be even lower after the extreme cold apocalypse arrives, but Chen Yu is not discouraged.

With a smile, he asked the young man, "May I ask your name, sir?"

"My surname is Zhou, Zhou Zhihao," the young man said.

"Brother Zhihao, what was your major in college?" Chen Yu asked.

"A university for those who stay at home, a department for those who work indoors," the young man said irritably.

"Cough cough~"

Chen Yu coughed twice in embarrassment.

He also hoped that the other party had relevant professional background knowledge so that he could use it in case of emergency.

Unexpectedly, the other party was just a self-taught academic underachiever.

"What? You still look down on me? Let me tell you, I know of an underground water outlet with a temperature of 120°C, and this place is my secret base."

"Didn't you want to build a power plant? How about we cooperate?" Zhou Zhihao asked with a hint of amusement, though he naturally didn't believe Chen Yu was truly capable of building a power plant.

But Chen Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Could you take me to see it?"
