Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 434 Elemental Technology Steam Engine (Two in One)

Another long, beautiful and passionate night has passed.

The next morning, Li Qiuzhi got up from the warm and soft embrace of Lisa and Captain Qin.

This time, I was not suddenly pulled into the "Pure Land of One Mind" by Lei's movie.

He simply washed up and had breakfast, and learned from Ying that she was still being asked about Inazuma's situation in the "meditation room" by Shin.

There is no way to teach Li Qiuzhi and Ying the "Unthinking Sword" for the time being.

In that case, they had no choice but to postpone their swordsmanship learning and complete other things first.

Ying and Paimon are preparing to go to Inazuma's Adventurer's Association to accept a commission and go out for adventure and exploration.

Li Qiuzhi followed his own plan and prepared to return to Liyue to find Ye Lan. He had mentioned this to Keqing last time.

After so much time, she should have helped talk to Ye Lan.

By the way, go and see how the "Sweet Flower Chamber of Commerce" is developing and find out whether Ningguang's Qun Yu Pavilion has been rebuilt.

There are still a lot of things to do.

Liyue Port, Rebirth Hall.

Li Qiuzhi was teleported to Hu Tao as usual, but when he heard that Li Qiuzhi was going to the Chamber of Commerce, Master Hu Tao expressed regret that he could not go with him.

Because the branches of Wangsheng Hall in other cities are about to open, she, as the head of the hall, has to go and take a look.

In this case, Li Qiuzhi had to go to the "Tiantian Flower Chamber of Commerce" by himself.

On the way to the Chamber of Commerce, he saw that there were several times more people riding bicycles on the street than last time.

It seems that this product of "Tiantian Flower Chamber of Commerce" is officially on the right track in Liyue.

In the future, he and Ying will get more and more dividends!

Not long after, Li Qiuzhi walked to the "Sweet Flower Chamber of Commerce" in a happy mood, wanting to see if Ningguang was there.

Her secretary Bai Xiao told her that Ningguang was currently in the R&D department, and it seemed that the "steam engine" she mentioned last time had made some progress.

Upon receiving the news, Li Qiuzhi was delighted.

Hurry and head to the R&D department of the "Tiantianhua Chamber of Commerce". It is located less than 200 meters behind the Chamber of Commerce.

It was quite quick to walk over there.

When Li Qiuzhi arrived at the Chamber of Commerce's R&D department, he saw a large group of people in work clothes gathered in the courtyard of the building.

He got closer and found that they were surrounding a huge machine that was about the height of a person, with various pipes and gears exposed.

But the arrangement is relatively neat and it looks beautiful.

It has a steampunk style.

Standing next to the huge machine were several middle-aged men who were also wearing work clothes. Leading them was a woman who looked very excited.

Not surprisingly, this huge machine was developed by her and her team.

Li Qiuzhi thought thoughtfully.

“Lord Ningguang, this is the steam engine we developed based on the ideas you provided.

"It can use the fire element to boil water in a high-pressure boiler to generate steam, and then the steam expands and converts into mechanical work to push the piston to do reciprocating motion."

The middle-aged woman excitedly introduced to Ningguang next to her the steam engine made by their team.

I really don’t know how Lady Ningguang came up with such an ingenious transmission device.

The specific principle of the steam engine is simple and easy to understand, but most people would not have thought that something as ordinary as steam could be used in this way!

It's really amazing.

Even in the Sumeru Academy where she had studied abroad, most of the geniuses there would not have thought of floating like smoke.

As gentle as steam without a trace of strength, yet when gathered together they can produce such a great effect!
"Well done."

Ningguang, wearing a cheongsam, crossed her arms and nodded slightly:

“Although it is much larger than I expected, I managed to make it in a short time. I will iterate it several times as soon as possible and improve it into an industrial steam engine.”

The current steam engine is still some distance away from what Li Qiuzhi said, that it can be used as a power source for steam locomotives, trains, ironclad ships, etc.

Perhaps I should continue to recruit more scholars in related fields so that I can conduct research faster.
"Okay, Master Ningguang, we will definitely live up to your expectations!"

The researchers nearby responded in unison.

"Well, the progress this time is also very great. You will be given bonuses, and you can choose a time to take a three-day vacation."

Ningguang knows very well that if you want others to serve you wholeheartedly, you have to offer tangible benefits.

So they are generous in giving out rewards like Mora, holidays, etc.

"Thank you, Master Ningguang!"

The researchers cheered.

After visiting the successful manufacturing of the first steam engine, Ningguang had to start preparing for its application in advance.

In this way, when the researchers develop an industrial steam engine, hers will be almost ready and can be used right away, which will be much more efficient.

"Hi, Ningguang!"

Seeing that Lady Tianquanxing was finally not busy, Li Qiuzhi greeted her.

"Oh? Why are you here? Today is not the day for dividend distribution yet." Ningguang said with a smile on her face when she saw Li Qiuzhi.

"Uh, why do you make me sound like someone who doesn't care about anything and only knows how to take money?" Li Qiuzhi looked helpless.

He continued:
"I came here today to share with you more scientific knowledge about the world I once lived in."

"Haha, it seems that I misunderstood you. Come with me, how about inviting you to Xinyuexuan for morning tea?"

There was a hint of cunning in Ningguang's beautiful scarlet eyes.

"Oh, since it's Lord Tianquanxing who's inviting us, we have to go." Li Qiuzhi said in surprise.

Liyue Port, Xinyuexuan.

In the luxurious private room on the second floor, the two sat opposite each other. Ningguang folded her right leg over her left leg, took a sip of tea and said:

"Okay, if you have any new business opportunities, tell me about them."

"Ah."

Li Qiuzhi nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
“Since the element of fire can be used to greater effect through the steam engine, other elements can also be used.

“I used to live in a world where electricity was a cleaner and more efficient energy source than fire.

"It can do most of the things that fire can do with a wire, and I think they can be developed in parallel."

He explained to Ningguang all the applications of electricity on Earth, from the simplest electric light to the powerful electromagnetic cannon, orbital satellites, interstellar spacecraft, etc., with simple explanations.

Li Qiuzhi wants to promote the development of Teyvat's elemental technology and eventually reach the level of being able to produce interstellar spacecraft.

With the magical energy of elemental force, it seems that this won't be too difficult.

“Haha, a satellite that can observe the entire planet and a spacecraft that can sail through the starry seas cannot be developed in a short period of time.

"I am somewhat interested in the electromagnetic cannon you mentioned. Tell me in detail."

Ningguang was only slightly surprised when she heard what Li Qiuzhi said, and then she chose something that met Liyue's needs and asked in detail.

As a person from Tianquan Star, she is naturally more interested in a weapon that is comparable to the "Return Machine" and has a low cost of use.

If there were electromagnetic cannons, Liyue would be more independent and would not need to rely on immortals even if it encountered enemies at the demon level.

"Okay, then I'll tell you the general principle. I don't understand the details."

Li Qiuzhi briefly explained to Ningguang the principle of the electromagnetic gun. Anyone who has studied physics would know this, so it did not stump him.

The barrel of the electromagnetic gun is two parallel rails with a solid iron shell in the middle. When the rails are energized, a strong magnetic field can be formed.

The magnetic field interacts with the projectile, generating electromagnetic force, which then propels the projectile out at an extremely fast speed.

The speed of the projectile is related to the magnitude of the input current. The greater the current, the greater the magnetic field and electromagnetic force generated.

In this way, the faster the speed of the shell, the greater its power.

Although Liyue's technological level is not high, because it has the element of lightning, making electromagnetic cannons is much easier than on Earth.

Because there is no need to worry about insufficient electricity.

Maybe someone as powerful as Beidou, who possesses the Eye of Thunder, knows the principle and can just use his hands to fire an electromagnetic cannon on the spot.

"Yes, I have written down everything you said. I will have someone test it later."

Ningguang's mouth corners slightly raised.

She didn't expect Li Qiuzhi to come today and bring her so many good things.

[Ningguang develops a favorable impression of you, gaining 380 points of favorable impression. Current favorable impression level is Lv.7 (580/700)]

Li Qiuzhi looked at the prompt that popped up on the character panel and found that Ningguang's favorability towards him was almost reaching level eight!

After reaching level 8, it won’t be far from level 10. When the favorability reaches the maximum level, can I say to Ningguang, “Your money is also my money.”

It is not impossible for a man to become the richest man in Liyue overnight and have endless money.
Of course, maybe it's possible now. The favorability level is close to level eight, which is already very high. Maybe I'm holding Ningguang's hand now.

She would also boldly hold it tighter in return.

Cough. I'm overthinking.

He only has the right to let girls live off him, but he has no habit of living off them.

As for holding hands or something, we'll talk about it when there's a better time.

Li Qiuzhi suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked Ningguang:
"Oh, Miss Ningguang, I want to find Miss Yelan and learn the invisibility skill from her. Last time, I asked Keqing to help pass on a message to her.

"But there seems to be no news yet. Do you know where she is?"

".Well, Ye Lan is the owner of the 'Yan Shang Tea House'. You can go there next time if you want to see her."

Ningguang held her fair cheek with her right hand in a long-sleeved gown. She looked at Li Qiuzhi and smiled slightly.
"However, she went to the Layered Abyss to carry out a mission a few days ago. If it were you, I could give you a pass and let you go in to find her.

"How about helping me deal with the problem in the Layered Abyss?"

"Did Miss Ye Lan go to the Layered Abyss? I remember that it was an important mineral production area in Liyue. What went wrong there?"

Li Qiuzhi asked doubtfully.

He remembered that in the original work, a strange substance like black mud appeared in the middle-level rock abyss, which could cause harm to people.

It will also strengthen the monsters, making them even more irrational and attacking anyone they see, so there is no way to mine ore for the time being.

Ye Lan should go investigate what happened and see if there is any way to solve it.

"It seems that you are also very clear about this. The Chasm is indeed the main mineral production area in Liyue. Several months ago, some problems occurred there and it was temporarily blocked."

Ningguang parted her soft lips and slowly explained the cause of the matter, which was basically the same as what Li Qiuzhi knew.

"The current Layered Rock Chasm is too dangerous for ordinary people or adventurers, but it should not be a problem for you.

"If you want to go there to find Ye Lan, I'll give you the way to contact her."

Ningguang took out an amber gem and continued:
"Ye Lan also has a gem like this. When you reach the Layered Abyss, use the gem to knock on the wall and it will emit a barely perceptible resonance wave.

"Only the one in Ye Lan's hand can receive the resonance, and then she can find you according to the guidance."

"It seems quite convenient." Li Qiuzhi took the amber gem. He certainly would not refuse Ningguang's request.

If there happen to be monsters in the Chasm, you can also gain experience points there.

"Then trouble you."

The Stone Chasm was sealed off and the mine stopped operating, which made Ningguang very upset.
The price increase of various mineral materials on the market is not a big deal, but the people working there will lose their jobs, so this problem will have to be solved as soon as possible.

[Ningguang develops a favorable impression of you, gaining 220 points of favorable impression. Current favorable impression level is Lv.8 (100/800)]

"You're welcome." Li Qiuzhi replied with a chuckle.

"Then when are you going to take action? I can let Ganyu go with you. I feel like the changes in the Layered Abyss are not that simple."

Ningguang felt that it would not be safe if Li Qiuzhi went alone.

The Rock Abyss was once the battlefield between the Emperor and the Demon Gods. I am afraid that those creatures that are not so easy to kill will appear again.

"Ms. Ganyu? She is indeed very powerful. With her around, it seems like we can even go on a trip."

Li Qiuzhi said half-jokingly.

"There is no time to lose. I think we can set off now. After all, it's still early."

After making the decision, Li Qiuzhi and Ningguang left Xinyuexuan and walked towards Yuehaiting together.

On the way, I asked about the reconstruction of Qun Yu Pavilion.

Knowing that the main structure has been built and only the final finishing work is left, it seems that Shen He will be able to complete the task of helping to set up the formation soon.

Not long after, Li Qiuzhi and Ningguang arrived at Yuehai Pavilion. At this time, Ganyu was working at her desk, processing various intelligence.

Her head was nodding, and she looked severely sleep-deprived, which made people doubt her working condition and whether she could get things done.

Li Qiuzhi and Ningguang walked into Ganyu's office. She didn't seem to notice. After a second or two, she suddenly woke up and looked outside.
"Ah! Ningguang and Mr. Li Qiuzhi, why did you come in without knocking?"

A blush appeared on Ganyu's fair face. Hmm, I was seen dozing off at work. If I had known, I wouldn't have worked overtime until the morning.
