Side Quests
Ye Miaomiao walked out of the research institute with full excitement.
The territory borrowed a repaired old generator to light up the light bulbs looted from the Guangming Community. It was originally just a small progress, but unexpectedly it triggered a side quest!
Congratulations on obtaining the side quest - Chasing the Light.
[Mission content: The fallen ruins of civilization "Bright Community" was once the residence of the followers of the great men Edison and Tesla. Now it has been occupied by dark cosmic creatures and is no longer bright.

Mission Reward: 6000 points, Steam Generator Series (12 volumes), 2 Believers of Light
When was the last time a branch quest was triggered? Ye Miaomiao thought as she looked at the screen.
Last time it was the copper ore fragments brought by Fang Yan, and this time it was the lighting of the light bulb. It seems that they have something in common - the origin of iron and the origin of electricity.
Primitive people discovered that ore fragments would not break after being hammered and ground for a long time, and then discovered bronze tools and entered the Iron Age; the signs of entering the electrical age were electric lights, motors, telephones, etc.
Perhaps the next technology can verify it again, but it is too early to say at this time.
A red coordinate appeared on the system map, marked with a countdown of "96 hours." Although there was still a long time, Ye Miaomiao didn't want to delay.
Yesterday was the second day of cold weather, the temperature reached an astonishing minus 20 degrees Celsius!
There was a thin layer of ice on the windows. The weather was dry during the day and there was not much snow, but when the wind blew, the ice needles cut into my face like knives.
Almost no one goes out. If you are not careful, you will catch a cold if you are not careful outdoors. It is almost unsuitable for human survival.
The charcoal burning in the house barely maintains a livable temperature, but if the temperature were any lower, it would probably not work.
Most people are from the south, so few know how to install a heater. Therefore, the territory has never unlocked heating technology. Among the Margarites, who hail from a far northern country, only one person knows how electric heaters work.
The beginning of the electrical age is inevitable!
Ye Miaomiao had just walked out of the research institute when an acquaintance came towards her.
A few days ago, in Ye Miaomiao's eyes, this person was still a delicious bun that gave money, but now he has become a pest that people want to avoid.
Ye Miaomiao looked at Charles coming over with a bitter face, and immediately turned around to leave, but he stuck to her like a dog-skin plaster.
"Lord Ye, long time no see!"
Ye Miaomiao: I feel like I’ve seen you a lot these past two days.
I just can't understand why this guy, who a few days ago looked like he couldn't stay in this slum for long, keeps getting closer to her recently.
When asked, Arthur knew nothing and only said that all the nobles had some mental problems.
Ye Miaomiao almost believed it.
She was about to speak and avoid him when Charles said, "From afar, I can see you look so happy. I guess you got something good. Margaret lacks everything except points. I came here to order some more things from you."
Charles figured it out. Ye Miaomiao only cared about money. Since he had failed to get something for nothing before, he might as well put some bait on the hook to make her out of his reach.
Ye Miaomiao paused and turned her head.
"If you want to buy something, you can go directly to the store." Ye Miaomiao put on a concerned expression and said hypocritically, "It's so cold outside, don't catch a cold."
Seeing an opportunity, Charles quickly struck while the iron was hot and followed his intuition, asking, "I want to ask, does E E E E have any new black technology?" He smiled affably and said, "Technology isn't for sale, but finished products can always be sold, right?"
That's the truth.
Ye Miaomiao touched his chin and revealed only one piece of news: "Maybe there will be electrical appliances for sale soon."
It’s actually true!
Confirming the facts from Ye Miaomiao in person is completely different from hearing rumors. At this moment, Charles's mood was hard to say whether it was good or bad.
He likes reading Agatha Christie's novels and always thought he would be Poirot, but now he suddenly found himself the villain.
It's unbelievable... It's obvious that with the development of technology and the emergence of electricity, the threat of disasters to mankind will be much smaller, but he still wants to find ways to kill Ye Miaomiao and stop it all.
But he had to do it.
"Congratulations!" Charles said with a smile. "May I have the honor of inviting the beautiful lady to taste the wine? This is a specialty from Margaret. I brought it here specially and it's unopened."
Added: "Also to celebrate our future collaboration, I mean... to get more of your products."
Ye Miaomiao: “…” This sounds hard to refuse.
She was just thinking about how to reply when Fang Yan came over from a distance, which made Charles' face darken - damn, it's this guy again!
"Leave it to me, you go and do your work first." Fang Yan didn't give Ye Miaomiao a chance to refuse, "Didn't you say in the group that you wanted to..." He said, glancing at Charles.
Ye Miaomiao nodded. The research and development of black gunpowder was almost mature. She decided to prepare some weapons and then lead the team to complete the mission.
Although I am jealous of Charles' points, points can never compare to technology.
"I leave it to you." After thinking this through, Ye Miaomiao patted Fang Yan's shoulder, turned around and left decisively, without noticing that Charles's expression was becoming increasingly ugly.
"Wait!" He was about to call Ye Miaomiao but was stopped by Fang Yan.
The man's black eyes were as dark as the night before a storm, brewing storm and anger. Charles met his gaze, almost thinking he knew something.
"Give me the wine."
After a tense moment, he reached out.
"No need, I'll give it to Lord Ye myself."
"I'm afraid she doesn't have time," Fang Yan said with a smile, "She's been busy with something for the next two days, so you won't be able to find her."
At this time, Ye Miaomiao's back had already walked away, and Charles couldn't catch up with her. He could only look at Fang Yan with disgust.
"That wine...?" Fang Yan raised his lips with a smile.
Charles cursed inwardly, what's the point of drinking! In front of Fang Yan, he didn't want to pretend to be "innocent". He sneered, turned around and left, and they parted on bad terms.
Just wait, even without the wine, their people will come! If he fails to complete the task, at most he will become that fool, and hungry hungry hungry...
Charles gritted his teeth. If he couldn't complete the task, he would have no chance of survival even if he went hungry!
.
Strangely enough, the territory has "Friends of Miners" who mine high-quality saltpeter. Potassium nitrate made from saltpeter is the main ingredient of black powder, which also makes black powder extremely powerful.
The finished product borrowed the prototype of the steam cannon, but replaced the steam with gunpowder.
Simply refill the gunpowder to fire the cannon-loaded bullets, which have a range of nearly 100 meters! Much more powerful than a steam cannon, and no need to wait for the steam to cool, you can refill and use it immediately.
However, the durability of this type of artillery is very low. It is a [low-quality black fire/powder cannon]. Once it is broken, it is extremely easy to explode and cannot be used too many times.
Ye Miaomiao divided the team members into two teams, each of whom carried three cannons and a backpack of gunpowder.
After lunch on the fifteenth day, taking advantage of the strong Yang energy, we opened the city gate in one go and stepped into the Guangming community which had become dark.
What Ye Miaomiao didn't know was that a group of people were setting out from Margaret.
Fang Yan did not participate in the mission, but stayed behind and kept his eyes on the direction outside the city gate.
