Chapter 97 How did you figure this out?

What Zeus said in the woods was not only for the banshee to hear, but also sent a positive signal to the fire moth.

He knew that this group of people could hear what he said - the Fire Moths were very good at escaping and hiding, and Hughes felt that they would definitely leave some spies to investigate.

So Hughes spoke out openly, and the subsequent dinner invitation was his signal.

This group of people chose to ask him for help in times of crisis, which showed that they were sensible. At that time, they thought that Zeus was some kind of strange existence and they were about to be destroyed. Going to find Zeus at this time might not save them, but perhaps they could save Castel.

This group of people summoned the evil god and brought about their own destruction, which was their own fault, but when they saw the situation was getting out of control, they were at least willing to try to save it. This is the basis for cooperation.

It is precisely because of this that Xius is willing to give them a chance. As for whether they will come to participate, Xius is not worried about this.

This is his territory. It is impossible for so many people to disappear out of thin air. As long as he wants to find them, so many banshees can definitely plow Caster all over.

Besides, his invitation was sent to Chloe.

Coupled with the hint he left for Fire Moth, they wouldn't do anything stupid as long as they were sane.

Although it is unknown why Chloe is convinced that he has summoned the evil god, this group of people is still worth winning over, as they definitely possess a lot of knowledge and information.

"It looks like tomorrow's dinner is destined to be lively."

Hughes muttered to himself.

"You mean you broke the Type II?"

In the study, Xius looked across the long table with some surprise.

He had just informed the banshees in the laboratory that he wanted to bring the Type II machine to the manor to entertain the dinner tomorrow night. In fact, he just wanted to try to see if he could sell this thing.

It doesn’t matter if it can’t be sold. As long as he promotes the soap as a product of this new type of steam engine, he can successfully raise his status.

——Just as the wealthy and powerful on Blue Star pursue pure handmade traditional production methods, the top nobles in this world must also pursue the attributes of "scarcity" and "luxury".

What is the most luxurious thing now? Steam engines, this thing can cause pollution if you are not careful, who can afford it if you are not rich? When the time comes, find a few noble socialites to support it, and let Zoe write a few manuscripts to brag about "coming off the seventh assembly line." "Only ten pieces can be produced every day, if more, the production line will explode." "The coal for burning the boiler is imported by White Crow, with the fragrance of the northern snow."

Isn't this crazy? As a result, when he asked, the witches hesitated and finally said that Monica broke the steam engine.

Monica was standing opposite, looking guilty.

Although this place is connected to the cave where the banshees live through a secret passage, no banshee has ever come up here except Monica.

Firstly, the existence of the banshees has not been made public, and it is somewhat risky for them to appear in the manor.

The second reason is that this passage is really narrow, and only children like Monica can enter and exit easily.

The child, the person opposite is still a child.

Zeus opened his mouth but didn't say anything to reprimand. Monica took advantage of the other banshees' group action to play with the Type II machine and broke it. Although this was a bit bad, the other party didn't have any bad intentions after all, so she could be punished according to the rules.

"You are going to copy the safety regulations ten times. The entire version. Don't miss a single word. You are not allowed to write with six hands at the same time. Write word by word."

"You don't have to pay for the broken steam engine. It was originally used for experiments. It's okay if it's broken. Just be more careful next time."

"Besides this, you will also be fined. I will pay for this. But you should know that this is not because I am showing you mercy, but because I am your guardian. Do you understand?"

"I see." Monica whispered.

Xius stared at Monica for a while and sighed: "Monica, now that you understand, tell me why I want to punish you."

"I broke the Type II."

Hughes shook his head and pulled out a booklet from the table. This was the safety regulations he had written. Monica frowned subconsciously. She was fed up with this and always felt it was troublesome and useless.

"Article 9 of Chapter 1 prohibits a single person from operating a running steam engine in non-emergency situations."

"I know you don't like these rules, but the machine doesn't care whether you like it or not."

"I hope you know that the power of the steam engine is far beyond the limits of human beings, and so is the banshee. When it is not running, the worst result you can get is to break the machine, but when it is running, breaking the machine is the best result."

"If the boiler explodes, you will die, and the symbiotic contract won't be able to save you. It may even cost other people's lives. If the flywheel is thrown out at high speed, the large iron plate will smash through everything in a straight line, whether it is dead or alive. These will affect more than just you. You don't want others to be injured or even killed because of you, right?"

Monica's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

Hughes stood up, took a box of handkerchiefs from the shelf next to him, walked over to Monica and handed it to her.

Monica snorted and turned her head away.

Hughes blinked, put the handkerchief box on the table, turned around, walked to the fireplace, picked up the long-handled axe and poked the mechanism.

The entrance to the secret passage closed with the sound of gears rubbing against each other, and a voice of "Ouch!" came from the fireplace. In the mind link, several banshees who loved to join in the fun quickly went away.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Oh my god, there was more than one person peeping, how did they squeeze into the secret passage? Monica cried out "Ah!" and wiped her nose loudly with a handkerchief.

It's really strange that these sea creatures can shed tears. They shouldn't need to keep their eyes moist.

"Hey, don't cry, Monica. I just want to show off the Type II at the banquet. Maybe I can get a few more gold coins from the nobles. Don't wipe your snot on me!"

After a while of fighting, Hughes slumped back on the bench and said breathlessly, "So how did you break the Type II? How could such a big, black and thick thing break? Did you use the flesh magic to crash into it?"

"Of course not!"

"What's that?"

"We tried to burn some pollution before, but it didn't work. Those things can't be burned at all."

Zeus said "hmm". He knew about this and felt a little disappointed. The pollution was indeed getting smaller during the burning, but the speed was too slow and the calorific value released was not high enough. Many banshees were interested in this matter. They tried for a long time and discovered some characteristics of physical pollution.

First of all, this kind of physical pollution will require a long period of calcination before it starts to burn and provide calorific value.

Secondly, they will actively pile up together in the furnace, extending the calcination time.

Finally, the temperature they require is extremely high, almost approaching the melting point of steel. What boiler can withstand this!? All these factors make it a very poor fuel.

"I found a way to make pollution burn better."

"Uh-huh?"

Hughes sat up straight. This was a big deal. If he could really use physical pollution as fuel, he might be able to solve the energy problem.

"How did you solve it?"

"Scold it."

"???????"
