I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 37: A tall building is erected to entertain guests from all over the world.

It was colder at first, but it stayed at a constant temperature and I didn't wake up from the cold. I got used to it.

Now that he has the "1.0 heating system," the temperature rises, but the temperature difference between the hot water in the copper pipes and the cold water makes him uncomfortable.

and so--

He plans to build a "2.0 heating system" before dark to provide continuous heating for the camp.

The plan is simple.

The current heating system in the camp uses copper pipes connected to the outside to collect rainwater, which is then heated by boilers inside the cabins before flowing back into the copper pipes inside the cabins to achieve the desired heating effect.

However, the absence of a circulation pump means that the entire process requires some manual operation and cannot be fully automated.

What he has to do now is to handcraft a "circulation pump" to provide the pressure source.

First, I used 2 Strange Stones to create a bear trap, and then used 10 Strange Stones to upgrade it into a "ground spike".

The upgrade path chosen is "Power Enhancement," which increases the pressure.

Followed by.

He then created a square copper pipe, one meter wide and one meter thick, which stood on the spikes. The whole structure looked like a ⊥, but since the spikes were also one meter wide and long, it fit perfectly.

Half an hour later.

"All right."

Chen Fan stood outside the camp, looking at the black building in front of him. He put his hands on his hips, slightly out of breath, and smiled with satisfaction.

You're done!

The ground spikes would be triggered when they felt a certain amount of pressure, and the dark, hard wooden spikes would suddenly pierce out. He modified the ground spikes, first cutting off and smoothing the front part of the wooden spikes to greatly reduce their power, and then peeling off some of the skin of the monkey head monster and putting it on the top of the "ground spikes".

When the ground spikes are triggered, they will quickly rise up against the freak skin.

Like a—

Large leather piston.

Moreover, the Spike Trap is an extremely energy-efficient trap structure. It will only be destroyed after being triggered many times and exhausting the Strange Stones it cost to build, making it almost like a perpetual motion machine.

Subsequently.

He then connected a thicker copper pipe to the stove inside the wooden house, using the copper pipe as a large boiler, and connected the "piston" structure outside the house and the boiler with a narrower copper pipe.

The copper pipes on the top of the piston building were not sealed, and near the top, there were "copper pipes" extending horizontally, passing through the city wall and leading to the wooden house.

When rainwater fills the "copper pipe" standing on the ground outside the camp, applying enough pressure, the ground spikes, sensing gravity, will be activated and suddenly rise up. Under pressure, the rainwater inside the copper pipe will flow out along the horizontally extending copper pipe at the top and into the boiler in the wooden house.

The hot water originally inside the boiler is forced into the copper pipes inside the house and remains inside the boiler to provide cold water for the boiler.

Waste hot water will flow out of the house through copper pipes.

This way.

The "2.0 heating system" is now complete!

For aesthetic reasons.

The copper pipe that extends horizontally from the top of the "piston building" is laid close to the ground and walls. Although it consumes more strange stones, it reduces the risk of collapse. After all, the "copper pipe" is just a building module and is not very sturdy. It also adds to the aesthetics.

There are other solutions, such as using the energy released when the boiler boils, but this method has some drawbacks.

So far, this solution is the simplest and most resource-efficient.

Of course, there is still a lot of room for improvement, which can be gradually fixed later. Rome wasn't built in a day.

The lame monkey and the others stood dumbfounded in place after listening to Chen Fan explain the principles of the building, surrounded by the piston structure outside the camp, which stood close to the city wall. They were somewhat at a loss for words.

"."

Wang Mazi looked at the five spikes beside the farmland, then at the piston-shaped building standing on the ground, his eyes filled with confusion.

Spikes
Is it still possible to use it like this?
How could he not have thought of that?

Then he looked at Chen Fan's back, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. He had thought that Chen Fan had risen to prominence because he had inherited his mother's architectural skills, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all.

Inheritance can be preserved, but can wisdom also be preserved?

A young master who was bullied by everyone in the Chen family suddenly had a breakthrough after arriving in the wilderness?

How can it be!

Both his style of doing things and his personal temperament are completely different from the Chen Fan he saw in the Chen family. He has been hiding his talents for so many years, just to break free from the control of the family and spread his wings and fly high. This kind of mentality is a bit too scary.

"Master!"

The lame monkey, somewhat excited, circled the piston-like structure again and again, limping along: "I never imagined that a spike trap could be used like this, and I have a vague feeling that this structure, which you named the piston, young master, could have even more uses?"

"of course."

Chen Fan stood on the outskirts of the camp with considerable satisfaction, looking at the extremely simple piston structure and chuckled, "This piston is just the basic usage; I'll name this system of usage... Mechanics." "Mechanics?"

"It can be simply understood as boiling water."

"oh oh."

This is a fantasy world.

but.
He's not a native of this world. A ground spike that triggers whenever it feels pressure and is extremely energy-efficient is more than just a ground spike in his hands.

"that."

at this time--

Wang Kui raised his hand timidly and hesitated, "Stationmaster, although this heating system is perfect, its main water source is the heavy rain during the rainy season. What will happen when winter comes after the rainy season?"

The words fell.

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

right.

Winter is the coldest time, the kind of cold that can kill you. If there isn't enough rainwater, the heating system will be useless.

"No need to worry."

Chen Fan casually said, "Currently, the wastewater in the copper pipes of the wooden house's heating system is discharged directly outside. After the rainy season, we only need to add a buffer device and connect the wastewater discharge copper pipe to the piston to achieve water recycling."

"It's currently the rainy season, so there's no shortage of water resources. We can save some money on building the copper pipes in the strange stone."

Every little bit helps.

next moment--

"Webmaster!"

Zhou Mo's loud shout echoed from the outskirts of the camp. After the lame monkey finished his inspection, he led his men quickly to Chen Fan and excitedly said, "Station Chief, today's harvest was good, and on the way back..."

"Eh?"

Zhou Mo suddenly noticed the dark, upright copper pipe next to him and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"."

Chen Fan smiled and took out a large sword and a rare treasure from his pocket, tossing it into Zhou Mo's hand: "Let them tell you. I'm going inside to rest for a while. You can report to me later. It's getting dark, so get ready."

"You can take this knife."

"cough."

The lame monkey coughed lightly, making a fist with one hand, before speaking seriously, "First of all, everything I'm about to say must not be revealed. This is the young master's new architectural secret, which he has named 'Mechanics.'"

"It is a closely guarded secret."

"The structure you see is called a piston. It has a spike inside that provides the pressure, and..."

Looking at Zhou Mo's increasingly bewildered gaze, the lame monkey became more and more excited as he spoke, his lips curling into an uncontrollable smile.

This is the masterpiece of his young master!
It's unique in the entire Jiangbei city!
After a while.

Zhou Mo looked at the lame monkey with a serious expression.

"Brother, you don't need to worry about me telling anyone."

"Because I can't understand what you're saying at all, I can't send it even if I wanted to."

"but."

"This knife is really good."

Zhou Mo looked down at the extraordinary sword in his arms, his mouth almost stretched to his ears, and walked into the camp with a silly grin on his face.

"Ugh."

The lame monkey sighed helplessly. These people are so uncultured. Back when he was in the Chen family private school, he was always the best in theory classes.

The piston structure that the young master invented is worth far more than that broken knife in your hand, okay?

He could vaguely sense that this was not just a heating building, but the beginning of a brand new era for the young master.

It's like a foundation.

in a blink.

Then one can build tall buildings and entertain guests from all over the world.

　P.S.: It's the beginning of the month, could you please give me some monthly votes?
