Chapter 265: The Inventor's Crossroads
Haizhe knelt on the ground in his armor after receiving the divine epic's recognition.
"Lord Yaoshen, Haizhe is ashamed of your kindness."
"As a sinner, I was arrested and imprisoned before I could collect the Fire of Faith for you..."
"And you once again showed mercy and gave me a chance to start over."
"This time, Haizhe will never let you down! I swear here that the black abyss will shine with your glory, and your vast and majestic fire of faith will spread throughout this world."
Lu Yao felt emotional.
A loyal minister.
In the past, I wanted to kill him, the loyal evildoer, but he was always thinking about how to create faith for himself.
We should not do things too simply and crudely, and we should not take a one-size-fits-all approach to save trouble.
Objectively speaking, Lu Yao still didn't think that Haizhe could stir up waves in the abyss.
The reason is simple.
This is the cage of gods created by the God of Darkness, and it is the hell of gods and cursed insects.
Haizhe led the corpse demons to kill the weak Star Sea God, but it was difficult to find the next such target. The deeper you go, the wider the abyss becomes, and the more powerful the imprisoned gods or monsters become.
It's very difficult.
But people always have to have some dreams.
Lu Yao still admired his ambition and drive.
As actual support, Lu Yao directly gave Haizhe extra points.
Take from the people and use it for the people.
This time, Lu Yao not only used up the 170,000 Fires of Faith brought by "The Evildoer of the Abyss", but also added 10,000 as a transfer payment, directly forcing Haizhe to level up to LV60.
…
[Legendary Evildoer LV60] Ghost Killer·Hai Zhe
HP: 9728/9728 Mana: 812/812 Damage: 122 Defense: 62 Speed: 18 [Forging]
【medicine】
【Craftsman】
【Psychic】
【Sin Prototype】
As a symbol of evil, each appearance can create a lot of panic, and the effect is related to the level of negative reputation.
【Collector LV3】
Gather the world's fear, pain, anger and jealousy and transform them into the fire of faith.
【Crazy Transformer】
Possesses outstanding transformation capabilities, can transform various lives and props, and has a certain probability of obtaining special effects.
…
Lu Yao could tell at a glance that it must be the ability of [Crazy Transformer] that gave birth to the clay corpse demon.
After getting crazy points, Haizhe put his head to the ground and a huge exclamation mark appeared on his head.
"This is really... really..."
"The power you bestow is so strong and endless..."
“Thank you so much!”
“Haizhe will never let you down!”
What Lu Yao was thinking was.
Although Haizhe is the father of the corpse demon, the corpse demon is a supernatural being with a certain degree of wisdom. Haizhe can still control it now, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
As a leader who commands a group of extraordinary people, it is better to be strong enough to control those below you.
Lu Yao simply upgraded him to level 60 to make it easier for Hai Zhe to manage and command him.
Witnessing the miracle of Haizhe’s level being upgraded from LV2 to LV60, huge exclamation marks appeared on the heads of the surrounding corpse demons, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Great God Yao!"
"God's will!"
"A gift from God!"
…
Haizhe obtained a large number of earth element corpses and clay on the second level. The sufficient resources will support him to further expand the corpse demon team.
After the battle of killing the gods, the clay corpses also gained confidence and believed in Haizhe's orders and judgments. At Haizhe's request, they practiced self-destruction skills and recycling and rebirth every day to reduce casualties as much as possible and retain their combat power to the greatest extent.
Sometimes, unconventional methods can indeed generate excess returns.
Haizhe, with its radical style, can serve as a supplement to the development of Yao civilization.
The progress of the Abyss Engineer Haizhe is in full swing, but I don't know if there is any progress with the Skeleton Engineer.
Lu Yao turned his gaze back to the Yao clan's world.
He opened the temple and clicked on the skull of Philus.
The scene jumps to Dwarf Fortress.
A message popped up immediately in the simulator.
【Philadelphus invented the steam stove.】
【Philas became a legend.】
Legend? Lu Yao was surprised and delighted.
On the grass outside the fortress, Philus and the dwarf craftsmen were standing in a circle, with a metal device in the middle of them.
The device is made of brass on the outside and is shaped like a small boiler, with three chimney-like jets on the top.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The three outlets of the brass boiler emit white mist in turn.
"It's done!"
"Very good!"
"I was so scared, at least the furnace didn't explode!"
The dwarves cheered.
Artisan Hammer Wujin stroked his trident beard and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. We still have to see how it works in practice. It won't be too late to celebrate after the Apostle has tried it."
The dwarves immediately shut up.
Under the command of Philus, the dwarves installed some external components on the brass boiler. Then there was an iron ball on top of it, which had two L-shaped copper tubes. As the boiler heated up, the glass tubes on both sides of the iron ball continuously sprayed out steam, causing the entire iron ball to start spinning rapidly.
After confirming that the iron ball was running, the dwarves replaced it with a copper tiller. The rudder drove the rudder shaft and the rudder pole, which, after a series of force conversion and transmission, finally acted on a turntable on the forging table nearby.
This turntable is shaped like a waterwheel, with iron hammers installed on it. As it rotates, the hammers continuously hit the anvil.
Hammer Wujin clamped an iron ingot with pliers, placed it on the anvil, and began to forge it rapidly with a hammer.
A smiley face symbol appeared above the craftsman's head.
"It works well. This steam furnace is a great invention. As long as it exists, one craftsman can do the work of a hundred men. It does not get tired, forges evenly, and can be used forever as long as the relevant parts are not broken."
The dwarves finally laughed heartily, and all kinds of smiling faces popped up on their heads.
Philus said, "Unfortunately, the steam furnace requires coal and omnistone, which is very demanding on materials... It would be nice if it could be powered by just ordinary firewood."
"Master Apostle, how is that possible? Without these high-grade fuels that can maintain high temperatures, the furnace cannot provide such great heat and emit such powerful hot air. This is already very remarkable. I feel that it will change the entire forging and smelting industry."
Hammer Wujin said this, staring at the metal instrument intently.
Lu Yao checked the background details.
…
[Steam Furnace]: A sophisticated boiler made by Philus that can keep the flame inside the furnace burning continuously and violently, turning water into high-temperature steam. Requires coal, omnipotent stone and fire element.
…
The appearance of the prototype of the steam engine caught Lu Yao off guard.
He changed his mind and realized that the Yao clan's world followed the route of extraordinary technology. Various extraordinary creatures, materials, and abilities were special variables, so while they stood still in some traditional fields, they would make leaps and bounds in certain technologies.
Lu Yao carefully read the introduction, origin and development of the steam furnace.
The Fire and Steam Furnace is derived from the Element Casting Furnace.
After receiving the casting furnace from Lu Yao, Philus has been thinking about how to utilize the existing elemental power to improve the efficiency of various tools.
He chose the most easily available element of fire for experimentation.
When the era changed, disaster beasts appeared and poisonous Aedes mosquitoes were rampant. Many ordinary people outside the city were displaced by various natural disasters and insect plagues.
Philles wanted to create a stove that could burn continuously, be easy to carry, and have fuel that could last for a long time. He could carry it with him even when he went out, so that he could cook food or keep warm at night.
As long as we can light a fire, there is hope for survival.
But it was very difficult to build such a furnace. He tried many methods but always failed. It took him more than 30 years to finally make a prototype.
He gathered an appropriate amount of fire elements in the copper furnace and kept it burning. The fire elements would prevent the heat of the flame from dissipating easily, and the temperature would be much higher than that of an ordinary furnace.
If you seal the furnace mouth, the fire elements will gradually fall into a deep sleep due to the cold. As long as it is not too long, the fire elements will revive the next time the furnace is lit.
After thousands of attempts, Philles finally found the most suitable fuel formula.
If coal and omnistone are loaded into the furnace in a ratio of 42:1, efficient combustion can be maintained with less consumption, and the heat generated is enough to drive the eruption of water vapor.
Philus named it "Steam Furnace". He imitated the water wheel, used the rudder structure of the paddle boat to transform the steam into a rotating force, and applied it to forging, and now he finally succeeded.
Lu Yao felt it was a bit strange.
Philus and Haizhe, two gifted engineers, are inventors in the Yao civilization. Their differences in tools and personalities lead them to diverge into two different paths.
