Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

"When you've built them, could you consider selling one to me?"

Jiang Ming glanced at Beidou with surprise.

"...It's still far from over, we don't even know if we can break through the thunderstorm."

"It's fine. Isn't all steel enough? It's definitely sturdier than my wooden structure. Besides, I have the pass. What's there to be afraid of with thunderstorms?"

Beidou waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

Gan!

Damn connections!

"If you want one, we can build you a 'New Death Star' warship when we have surplus production capacity in the future. It'll be a super sturdy one, as a testament to our friendly relationship. Of course, Mora will pay for it."

"Really?"

"A single word can be considered true."

"Hehehe, I knew I hadn't misjudged you as a friend!"

"Come on, come on, drink, drink!"

"..."

Liyue-style bullying: drinking culture.

After a satisfying meal, Beidou returned to the accommodations arranged for them by Jiang Ming.

Sparrows lived downstairs, and upstairs, Beidou, Wenchen, and Anxin began to discuss their next move.

"Isn't your mission to conduct a comprehensive survey of Haiqi Island's environment? This afternoon, Jiang Ming said that the situation here is not very stable, did you hear that?"

Wen Chen and An Xin nodded.

"heard it."

"So, shouldn't you investigate?"

"We were just thinking about that, but there are quite a few guards here. We need to find a way to get around them. We're going to visit them tomorrow anyway, so we plan to observe them first and then take action the day after tomorrow."

Wen Chen explained their action plan to Bei Dou.

Although Beidou found it convoluted, it was their specialty as "Night Watchers," and it was best not to interfere.

"Alright, it's your own business. You can figure it out yourselves. It's getting late, get some rest."

"Okay, you too, boss."

After they finished speaking, they got up and returned to their respective rooms.

Seeing the two leave, Beidou silently closed the door and prepared to rest.

The next day, they all got up early.

After having breakfast at their lodgings, they took their people to the location Jiang Ming had arranged.

Jiang Ming was already waiting at the designated location.

"Mr. Jiang Ming, you've arrived so early too?"

Beidou stepped forward and greeted them.

“Yes, it’s because I’m afraid of being late.” Jiang Ming smiled.

"Now that everyone's here and it's about time, let's set off."

"it is good."

Along the way, Jiang Ming introduced some of the latest technological breakthroughs achieved by Haiqi Island. Beidou and the others kept an eye out for anything they wanted while observing the surrounding terrain.

Especially Wen Chen and An Xin.

They discovered that there were guards stationed along their route from their lodgings near the docks to the industrial area.

The closer you get to the industrial area, the more guards there are.

At first, I only saw one or two guards, but near the entrance to the industrial area, I started to encounter patrol teams.

These soldiers on guard duty or patrolling were similar to the soldiers in green uniforms they had encountered at the docks, except for the weapons they carried.

It's no longer the type with two tubes, one above the other, and an unidentified object hanging below. Instead, it's a single piece, resembling a fire poker.

Although they vary in length, they are all shaped like fire pokers.

They recognized these things; they were somewhat similar to the muskets of the Fools, but they didn't know how to use them without the Evil Eye.

Maybe they use electricity? Didn't they develop an electricity system?

Most importantly, these patrol squads move in perfect unison and obey orders without question. Although some of them may seem innocently foolish, their discipline alone makes it impossible for them to be too bad in combat.

Is such an elite squad patrolling here?

Even though it's in the heart of Haiqi Island, far from the front lines, it looks like a war is about to break out.

Could the Shogunate army have that kind of strength?

Or was it a vanity project specially arranged to welcome their inspection?

No, it shouldn't be a vanity project.

Looking at the workers around me, they all seemed so ordinary, nothing out of the ordinary. It seemed this scene had been going on for a while now.

What happened?

As Wen Chen and An Xin looked at the scenery along the way, their questions not only remained unanswered, but they became increasingly confused.

"We've arrived. This is the power plant."

Jiang Ming turned around and introduced the group to Beidou.

"The generators were produced quickly and with high quality thanks to the help of the holder of the Eye of God. As for the power plant... because we were eager to get it into production, we built it with a focus on practicality."

Behind Jiang Ming was a power plant that looked rather rudimentary.

There was also a lot of scaffolding erected around it.

The only striking feature of the entire factory is its towering chimney.

"There's a saying in Liyue: 'It's not the height of the mountain that matters, but the presence of immortals that makes it sacred.' Captain Beidou, you have the Eye of the Thunder, so why don't you use your elemental vision to sense whether there's lightning in the factory over there, in the power lines around us, and in the transformers?"

"Let me see... huh?"

At that moment, Beidou's eyes widened.

Beidou activated her elemental vision as instructed, and the abundance of lightning element around her startled her.

In that little hut over there, the output... she felt it was almost comparable to the Lightning Hypostasis, right?

She couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if these surging lightning elements were used to attack people.

And now, these lightning elements... no, I mean electricity, are obediently and docilely being sent to where they are meant to go, along those power lines and through mechanical devices like transformers.

She saw absolutely no signs of the Eye of God or the application of elemental power; it was all mechanical.

This is already a firsthand demonstration of the application of electricity, isn't it?

"Sister-in-law?"

Around Beidou, Wen Chen and An Xin couldn't help but nudge her when they saw her stunned expression.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little shocked."

Beidou slowly shook his head.

"it is true."

Wen Chen and An Xin exchanged a glance.

Ningguang gave them a major task, and they've at least accomplished one of the minimum requirements.

They witnessed this system firsthand.

What happened in Chapter 71?

"Captain Beidou might as well try to condense lightning element for an attack; it should be much easier than in ordinary environments."

Jiang Ming looked at Bei Dou's shocked expression and slowly curled the corners of his mouth up.

√

"Okay, I'll try."

Beidou drew his greatsword and attempted to gather the surrounding lightning element.

With a single swing of the sword, lightning element was released, turning the surrounding land scorched black and steaming.

A faint aroma of protein wafted through the air.

Perhaps some small insects were obliterated by this attack.

The results were unexpectedly successful, and the power was even greater than in the previous natural environment.

"Excellent, excellent, truly excellent."

Beidou repeatedly expressed its amazement.

These ownerless lightning elements, which are not controlled by elemental forces and only follow basic physical laws, can be easily controlled by her by attaching lightning elemental forces, and then extracted for her use.

"How convenient it would be if we could carry a generator with us during battles!"

"There will be."

Jiang Ming said softly.

"Huh? What did you just say?"
