The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 448 Oh my God! A monster is trying to steal the small oil lamp! (Red Comet Mas's 2 Rewards Extra )

The small oil lamp was eager to try, but Shen Le held it down and carried it towards the power station.

The Special Affairs Bureau's car drove to the gate of the photovoltaic power station and was replaced by the station's own engineering vehicle.

After entering the factory gate, the car kept moving inward, inward, and inward, passing through mirrors that were as high as three stories, and moving straight forward.

Shen Le leaned against the car window, leaning forward and backward, turning his head left and right, looking at the mirrors that seemed to be absolutely parallel, but with slightly different angles upon closer inspection, and the huge shadows they cast on the ground:

"It's really big! Is this mirror used to reflect sunlight?"

When I saw it from the plane, I just thought it was bright and magnificent, but I really couldn't tell how big it was.

When they got here, they found that one mirror was several times higher than the car they were riding in, and the distance between the two mirrors was several times longer than the length of the car...

"Yes!"

The photovoltaic station driver who was driving for them turned his head and glanced at them, with a proud smile. He introduced Shen Le fluently in a not-too-strong local accent:
"How big do you think this mirror is?"

"Ten meters? ... Twelve meters?"

Shen Le asked uncertainly. The driver laughed:
"This mirror is called a heliostat. Each mirror is 115 square meters and is composed of 35 sub-mirrors. The entire photovoltaic power station has more than 12000 heliostats—"

He let go of the steering wheel with his right hand and waved it vigorously:
"It covers an area of 7.8 square kilometers, and the electricity it generates can supply the entire Dunhuang!"

Shen Le took a deep breath. This number was really huge. No wonder they had been driving for a long time but still hadn't reached the center of the power station.

If 7.8 square kilometers is the area occupied by the heliostat, then according to the circle he saw in the sky, the radius would be 1.5 kilometers.

They are now driving slowly along the edge and have not yet reached the road to the center!

"So, are these heliostats supposed to follow the sun?"

Shen Le looked around curiously. The speed of the vehicle passing by was quite fast compared to the heliostat, and it was impossible to see the mirror moving at all:
"How do I adjust this? Do you have a program in the background to adjust it?"

"How is that possible!" The driver laughed:

“There are sensors on it, which can sense the sunlight and change the angle at any time.

"With the background program, the sun rises and sets at different times every day, and the angles of each heliostat are different, so how can we adjust them?"

High technology is cool...

Shen Le sighed with envy and continued to look through the car window. To be honest, the name "Heliostat" is very fantasy, no, very fairy-like——

If it was not used in a photovoltaic power station, but in a fairy tale novel, it must be a top-grade magic weapon, right? No, the name already sounded like a fairy weapon!
The vehicle drove straight in until it reached the center of the heliostat cluster and stopped near the 260-meter-high heat absorption tower.

There is a circle of houses surrounding the heat-absorbing tower, which looks very small from the plane and is almost inconspicuous against the backdrop of the heliostat town and the heat-absorbing tower.
However, when we got closer, we found that the circle of houses was quite large, even extremely huge.

As Shen Le and his team approached, there was a crowd of people in front of them. There was a crowd of more than a hundred people, and someone was shouting with a loud speaker:
"The central heat absorption tower stores 3 tons of molten salt. The liquid molten salt exchanges heat with the brine exchanger from the hot salt tank, generates 550-degree steam through the steam generator, and drives the steam turbine to generate electricity..."

"Why are there tour groups here too?"

Shen Le climbed out of the car and couldn't help muttering. The driver explained skillfully:
"Because this is a very important scientific research and education base, people come here regularly to study. In our city, all the universities, middle schools and elementary schools will bring their students here—"

"Doesn't that mean you don't want to come again?"

Shen Le complained decisively. The driver laughed:
"That's right! My nephew said the other day, come play in elementary school, come play in junior high school, come play in high school, I must pass the college entrance examination and never come here again!"

Shen Le: “…”

However, Shen Le heaved a sigh of relief when he learned about the power generation mechanism of this photovoltaic power station. In any case, there was no need to climb the heat-absorbing tower, and there was no need to send the small oil lamp to the top of the tower.

Amitabha, thank God. Just go straight to the steam turbine, no need to worry about whether the small oil lamp will be burned...

As for whether the electricity from this power station can be used to power the small oil lamp for a period of time, and whether the nearby cities can still be supplied with electricity, this is not something Shen Le can care about.

Anyway, as long as the power dispatching department dares to issue this order, they will definitely be able to ensure stable power consumption.

All Shen Le had to worry about was to make the small oil lamp consume as much electricity as possible, process the peach wood sword well, and finish the job as soon as possible.

Oh, by the way, you should also pay attention to your surroundings. If that monster comes to steal things or harm people, remember to kill it...

Shen Le carried the peach wood sword and followed the staff who led him into the small room next to the turbine workshop. He set up the small oil lamp, opened the peach wood sword, and retreated far into the corner.

Soon, the surface of the small oil lamp began to glow happily:

【Great! 】

【Great! 】

【I am so happy to have a new meal! 】

[I want to collect the five elements! I want to build a loop! ]

【Once you have set up the loop, you will never be short of electricity again! 】

Therefore, the electricity generated by this photovoltaic plant is indeed local electricity - Shen Le silently breathed a sigh of relief.

When they explored the properties of solar power before, the objects of exploration were photovoltaic panels, which are completely different from the molten salt thermal power generation here.

He was really worried that the properties of the electricity here would not match, and he would need to build another power plant... By the way, why is molten salt solar thermal power generation of earth attribute?

Is it because salt is a product of the earth that it is a landmine?
Shen Le shook his head, threw this strange idea out of his mind, and decided to let the Special Affairs Bureau deal with it. Well, maybe someone could write a paper on it.

He concentrated his attention, staring at the light flowing from the small oil lamp, watching the color of the oil lamp become warmer and softer.

It used to have a foggy and frosted texture, but since it absorbed four different types of thunder, it has gradually begun to become jade-like.

As for the glass lampshade, I don't know what it went through, but it turned completely translucent milky white. If I didn't know it was glass, who wouldn't praise it for its good water head!

After it began to absorb the earth mines, with the formation of the five elements cycle, patterns of different colors soon began to appear on the surface of the small oil lamp.

First it was the bright silver color, then the deep black and transparent water color, followed by the light green and transparent wood color, and in the blink of an eye, bright red stripes appeared.

The red stripes grew vigorously and continued to rise, and were about to occupy the entire outer shell of the oil lamp. Suddenly, a thick ochre color appeared on the top and gradually pressed down.

"This is... an earth mine? The power of earth-type lightning is contained within it?"

Shen Le opened his eyes wide, staring without blinking, his hands clenched tightly. Can the small oil lamp handle it?

Is that okay?
He himself couldn't even handle the operation of the Five Elements Cycle. Not only could he not handle it, he simply had no idea where to start.

Before setting off, Xiao Youdeng temporarily read some books on thunder magic and felt it for himself...

It can really do it, right?

Nothing will go wrong, right?
At this point, Shen Le couldn't help and could only hold his breath and watch with wide eyes.

After the khaki strip appeared, it quickly came into contact with the red strip, as if it had absorbed strength from the red strip, expanding rapidly and quickly becoming deep and solid;
After expanding to a certain extent and filling up the entire outer shell of the oil lamp, it shook slightly and suddenly rolled back -

The yellow light rolled downwards and expanded rapidly, soon connecting with the bright silver light at the bottom. In an instant, the entire small oil lamp shone brightly, causing Shen Le to close his eyes tightly and tears to flow:
Say it before you advance!

Say it before you shine!

It's so bright all of a sudden, it blinded my eyes, what good is it to you -

He closed his eyes tightly and could not see anything for a moment. He could only hear screams from all directions in the factory. There were hurried footsteps, someone running over, and someone shouting:
"What happened!"

"What happened!"

"The voltage is unstable—"

"The pump speed is unstable! The pump has stopped!"

I go!

Please take it easy with the little oil lamp!

We agreed that you will use the electricity generated by the steam turbine generator, so just use it from this source, don’t use up all the electricity in the entire factory!
The pump that transports molten salt from the hot salt tank to the cold salt tank, and the pump that pumps brine from the hot salt tank for heat exchange, if they stop working, a major accident will occur!
The solar energy above is still transmitting heat, but the molten salt below cannot flow, and the heat continues to accumulate. What if the entire heat absorption tower is burned?

Shen Le didn't dare to shout out loud, he could only communicate in his heart and try his best to pass on his thoughts. After shouting several times, the voice of the small oil lamp finally sounded in his heart:
[It’s not me…]

The thought flashed away. Shen Le shouted and asked again, but there was no response from the other side. He didn't know whether Xiao Youdeng didn't want to pay attention to him, or it was a critical moment and he couldn't spare the time to pay attention to him.

Shen Le had no choice but to cast healing spells on his eyes. One, two, finally, his eyes could be opened without any hindrance. He immediately looked at the small oil lamp:
!!!

What's going on here!
Five elements, five colors, and five light bands flickered violently on the surface of the small oil lamp, rolling like a revolving lantern.

Not only does it flash on the surface, but there is also a smell that is getting deeper and deeper, as if it is going to seep into the inside of the small oil lamp.

The lamp base and lamp wall, made entirely of steel, gradually began to become transparent and were slowly enveloped by various colors.

The strips flew and merged into each other, and gradually there was a sense of disorder, like a fan spinning in water filled with paint:
Shen Le inexplicably felt that if these strips could be merged into a regular shape, or merged into a certain fixed color, then the small oil lamp would be safe and successful;
However, if the fusion fails, there will be big problems, and it might explode in front of him!

What was even more thrilling was that at this moment, there was a force that made Shen Le's heart tremble, gathering and gathering -

"It is going to rain!"

"Why is it raining suddenly?"

“The weather forecast didn’t report that!”

"Stop talking, push the washing truck out! Get ready to wash the mirrors! You only get this chance a few times a year!"

"Wait, this rain feels like a thunderstorm... Don't push the car out yet! Be careful of lightning strikes!"

"Let everyone get inside! Let everyone get inside!"

There was a flurry of shouting. Shen Le raised his head and looked up through the ceiling. His heart was beating faster and faster:
No way?
You're not serious, are you? For the little oil lamp to condense successfully, it won't need to go through a thunder tribulation, right?

It grows by absorbing lightning. How powerful would the lightning have to be to help it overcome this level and achieve a qualitative change from quantitative change?

Also, where did the lightning for this thunderstorm come from? In addition to the cumulonimbus clouds gradually gathering in the sky, it would not also absorb electricity from the power plant, right?

Since the electricity used to drive the pump and the factory electricity transmitted from the power grid was not consumed by the small oil lamp, could it have been drained by the lightning?
Even so, Shen Le couldn't do anything. Even if he knew that the lightning in the sky was directed at the small oil lamp, he couldn't tell the people in the factory:

You don't have to put away the washing, and you don't have to gather everyone into the house, then the lightning won't strike you... What if the lightning strikes the wrong person?

What if!
He said nothing, sitting cross-legged on the ground, silently practicing his internal energy, ready to intervene at any time: even if it was just to drag the small oil lamp aside, or stuff it into a metal box to use as a makeshift Faraday cage.

And a few dozen miles away, an old fellow who had been buried in the sand for a long time, greedily absorbing the Buddha's energy, suddenly raised his head:

What's this!
What's this!
Thunder roars in the sky, precious energy flows, and a treasure is bound to come out!

There are no big monsters lurking around here, nor are there any powerful ascetics practicing. If I can grab this treasure and use it for myself, I will no longer be afraid of that flying sword!

I can go back to my hometown, lie down comfortably in the snow-capped mountains, and absorb the energy of heaven and earth. I don’t have to squat here and suffer eating sand anymore!

It sank underground, following the crisscrossing network of underground canals, heading straight for the treasure. As it approached, it focused its attention and sensed:
Forty miles...

Twenty miles...

Ten miles...

Five Miles...

There are no underground water channels here. The old demon floated up a little from the ground, controlled the earth escape technique and buried himself in the sand, releasing a little perception:
They can’t get any closer! The thunder in the sky is rumbling and continuously striking down. At this time, the farther away these alien creatures are from, the better. The more restrained their aura is, the better.

Otherwise, the thunder tribulation doesn't care who you are. If you dare to break into the circle, it will sense the energy and turn around and strike you with thunder, directly turning you into ashes!

waiting……

Wait until the thunder tribulation is over, and when the rare treasure has survived the thunder tribulation and its aura is the weakest, it would be most appropriate to rush out, grab it and run away!

Before that, be patient and observe the surrounding terrain, the retreat route, and what is around...

Hmm, the sun's essence here feels particularly rich and dense. I have to be careful to avoid it when I turn around.

Well, there is one advantage of the concentrated sun essence, which is that the surroundings are relatively dark. Even if it floats to the surface, the sun will not shine directly on it, which makes it easier for an old guy like it to move.

Huh?
There is a lot of blood food in here!

Fresh, boiling, hot blood food! Moreover, it is young, vigorous, and full of yang energy!
No... don't rush to do it. Wait until you get the rare treasure, and when you retreat, grab a handful if it's convenient, or take two bites if it's convenient.

Anyway, there are few people here and the land is vast. After eating a few, he will bury his head in the soil and then escape into the wild. No one will be able to find him!

It patiently lies underground, hiding its body under the cover of dark areas, waiting for its opportunity.

In the factory, Xiao Youdeng was completely unaware of the approaching danger, and all his energy was focused on surviving the thunder tribulation:
[Thunder! It’s thunder! ]

[Mine! Mine! All mine! ]

【A little more! 】

[Ah, it feels so good to chop... It's so cool! ]

[A little more! A little more! A few more, and my whole body will be evenly massaged! ]

Others could not hear such voices, only Shen Le could hear them clearly. He hid far away in a corner of the factory, clenched his fists, and tried to restrain his thoughts so as not to disturb the small oil lamp:

Take it easy!

You are going through a thunder tribulation, not eating a buffet!
Judging from your appearance, you can't fly. If you could fly, wouldn't you rush directly into the thundercloud, swallow it in big mouthfuls, and put an end to the thunder disaster?

No, wait, it actually flies!!!

Electricity generates magnetism, and magnetism generates force. The magnetic field surrounded the small oil lamp, and it actually flew up, and it flew quite steadily, without any tilt.

If an inexperienced pilot were to control a basic quadcopter, he probably wouldn't be able to fly as well as this one...

"The oil, the oil lamp is flying!"

"Mr. Shen, your oil lamp is flying!"

"What should we do next? Should we turn off the power?"

Shen Le: “…”

Thank you, I know, I saw it. If it flies, it flies. I can't do anything about it. The child has grown up and is no longer obedient...

Besides, I can't catch it and beat it up, right?
There was lightning all around, but the little oil lamp flew up by itself and it was fine. Even though I was wearing an electrician's high-voltage insulating suit, I rushed over directly, and the lightning didn't kill me. It was all because of the little oil lamp's special care...

Shen Le quietly waved his hands towards the distance, signaling them not to come over and not to make any movements.

I don't know how to deal with it, but I do understand that it's best to let the small oil lamp continue to consume electricity instead of turning off the power:

Man is iron, food is steel, and electricity is the iron and steel of the small oil lamp. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be very hungry - not to mention fighting against thunder and lightning. You must eat until you are full to have strength.

In the current situation, the best thing to do is to do nothing!

The small oil lamp slowly rose, passed through the factory window, changed direction and headed straight for the thundercloud. Shen Le ran out of the factory quickly and stood outside looking forward:

close!

close!

It's getting higher and higher, and getting closer and closer!

Crashed into the thundercloud!

Spinning, jumping, I closed my eyes - ah, yes, the small oil lamp was spinning, jumping, Shen Le closed his eyes, blocking the sudden burst of thousands of rays of light, and tried to use his mental power to observe:

The small oil lamp swept away the thunder, thunderclouds, and surrounding electric currents like a whale sucking water. Then, it happily turned in a big circle, and the light suddenly converged:

Shen Le squinted his eyes and observed carefully. After absorbing the thunder, the colorful stripes on the surface of the small oil lamp became thinner and thinner, and stirred more and more evenly;

Gradually, the colorful stripes penetrated deeply into the body of the small oil lamp, mixing into a milky white color, or the color of fine jade.

When this color appeared, Shen Le's heart suddenly settled down:
No problem!

Absolutely no problem!

The appearance of such a jade-like texture indicates that the small oil lamp has been upgraded, and the quantitative change has turned into a qualitative change, becoming a higher-level magical tool, no, a spiritual tool, no, a magic weapon!
Although Shen Le didn't know what to call this level of spiritual weapon...

"Done?"

Shen Le waved at the small oil lamp from a distance:
"Come down once you're done! There are still so many peach wood swords waiting for you to process! - If the five elements cycle is successfully constructed, you will be able to process the peach wood swords!"

【of course! 】

The small oil lamp happily twisted and turned in the air, floating left and right, sometimes drawing an S shape, sometimes drawing an 8 shape.

While showing off her good figure and beautiful complexion, she slowly descended:

[Leave it to me! I promise that not a single peach wood sword will be destroyed in this wave! ]

"Oh? Are you so sure?"

Shen Le raised an eyebrow and stared at it:

"What if it gets broken?"

[It’s broken… that’s because the quality of the peach wood sword is too poor!] The little oil lamp seemed to want to brag, but halfway through, he still braked suddenly.

Shen Le laughed and walked into the factory first. He took out the peach wood swords and placed them on the ground one by one:

"Hurry up! We've been delayed for too long. Let's finish the work and get it over with! The whole city depends on the electricity from this power plant!"

Although all the electricity from this photovoltaic power station was consumed by the small oil lamp, the power grid can still transfer electricity to it...

However, the cost of long-distance dispatching is different from that of short-distance dispatching, and the pressure on the power grid is also different!

It would be better to give up this photovoltaic power station as soon as possible!
[I know, I know! Stop pushing me! Really, day after day, you never let me rest, you just keep pushing me to work...Ah!!! ! ! !]

The scream went straight into the sky. Not only did Shen Le's head feel buzzing, but even the two guys from the Special Affairs Bureau who were accompanying him were so shocked that they jumped up on the spot.

The two looked at each other and ran towards the factory gate. As soon as they moved, a figure flashed in front of them. Shen Le had already exerted his maximum speed, rushing in front of them and rushing out of the factory directly:

"What kind of monster is this!!!"

The small oil lamp was suspended in the air, with lightning flashing around it like a dragon or snake. Next to it, an unknown object with a black mist all over its body was spinning around the small oil lamp:
[You hit me! You hit me! How dare you hit me!!!]

The little oil lamp was extremely angry. Thunders of various colors, green, red, yellow, white, and black, along with purple and golden lightning, crossed the sky.

The lightning would occasionally strike the black wind monster, exploding a cloud of black gas or igniting something unknown. It would also often miss the target, landing on the ground nearby or on the roof of a factory building...

"Qingdeng! Let me help you!"

Shen Le leaped forward and a fireball flew out of his hand, rushing towards the black wind monster like a cannonball.

Behind them, the driver who brought them in also rushed out of the factory, shouting heartbreakingly:

"Beware the hot salt tanks! Beware the steam turbines! Beware the heat absorbing towers!!!"

If this breaks a little, it will be a disaster!!!
