Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Page 65

Beidou turned around. Had she misheard?

"I said I would have a generator that I carry with me."

Teyvat has so many incredible materials, such a good technological foundation, and a wide variety of power systems, as well as a considerable number of powerful techniques that seem to possess the power I'm looking for.

It wouldn't be too much to ask to build a small reactor or something and play around with it sometime, would it?

"Haha, I'll be waiting for your good news. Don't forget to give me one first when you do."

Beidou smiled, not minding the question, and then began to ask him some questions about electricity.

Jiang Ming then told Beidou about some things that didn't involve confidentiality.

The group entered the factory while chatting and laughing.

"Is this the generator?"

Beidou looked at the large "round cake" in front of him.

Looking with an elemental vision perspective, well... all I can see is raging electricity.

Strange, I can't see any fire elements, so why is this room so hot?

"Yes, strictly speaking, it is a steam turbine that boils water and, through a series of complex transformations, converts the heat energy generated by fuel combustion into electrical energy."

"I don't understand. But I do understand that the essence of generating electricity is boiling water."

"..."

Jiang Ming opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped, and then seemed to want to say something again.

"That's right. The essence of human technology is boiling water and throwing stones."

Jiang Ming could only say that in the end.

For Beidou, this meme is incomprehensible.

Behind them, Wen Chen and An Xin silently memorized the sentence.

"You want to take the generator back, it's this thing in front of you. We do have a machine that's being assembled here that you can take back. However, I need to clarify something."

"what?"

"The Seven Stars only require to see the actual object, and the Southern Cross fleet is only responsible for transportation, right?"

Jiang Ming stared at Beidou as he said this.

This seemingly insignificant little problem is related to the ownership of the generator after it is delivered.

Will it go directly to the Seven Stars of Liyue, or to Hideo Yamagami and his group?

"of course."

Beidou understood Jiang Ming's concerns.

To be fair, if she had such a treasure, she certainly wouldn't give it away so easily.

"It's enough that we see the Seven Stars; I'm only responsible for transportation. Once they're transported to Liyue, Mr. Hideo Yamagami will be in charge of their final destination."

"Of course, I think if you're willing to sell, Qixing will definitely be willing to pay a high price to buy it. I can pay in advance and then receive the goods."

"Let Seven Stars discuss these matters with Hideo Yamagami. He is the person in charge in Liyue. It's better for me not to overstep my bounds and take charge of tactical micromanagement."

Jiang Ming shook his head and passed the buck directly to Yamagami Hideo.

"Let's go take a look at the places where electricity is used."

Those factories, of course.

Jiang Ming chased away the factory director and some management personnel who came to greet him, leaving only himself, Bei Dou and his group, and the guards behind them.

Beidou and his team saw large-scale machine tool production of parts for the first time here.

Sparks flew everywhere, and iron filings flew all over the place.

A piece of iron ingot spins rapidly under the drive of an electric motor. Workers operate the machine tool, placing cutting tools on it, and in just a few minutes, it is turned into a fine part.

Beidou was certain that it was an electric motor because she could sense the flow of electricity.

Although she didn't understand why the flow of electricity would make it spin.

But she could tell that this was something that a manual workshop like Black Rock Factory could never compare to.

"Engineers at the Fontaine Scientific Institute adopted Fontaine's machine tool technology, improved its energy supply, and perfectly replaced it with electrically driven machine tools."

Electrical wires and motors have replaced most of the mechanical gears and raw energy. This innovation in energy systems and mechanical structures, combined with the ultra-high precision machining of its components, makes these machine tools arguably the most precise batch currently available in Teyvat.

Jiang Ming introduced it to them in this way.

What Beidou only took in was the word "highest" in the last sentence.

"Will you sell or not? You name the price, payment first, then delivery."

In short, it's concise, to the point, and brimming with confidence.

“Not for sale at the moment.”

Jiang Ming immediately rejected the proposal.

"Moreover, machine tools are precision machinery. Given the current thunderstorms around Inazuma, by the time you transport it out, it will have already been destroyed."

Jiang Ming found a perfectly suitable reason.

"If you have any needs for parts, just place an order with us."

"OK then."

BeiDou's performance was quite regrettable.

She was slightly shocked today.

The things she saw in these factories made her clearly feel that a new era was dawning.

Unlike Fontaine's unique system, this time it seems like they're serious!

Liyue has already fallen behind.

If it weren't for the lockdown order, we might have fallen even further behind.

No, I need to go back and persuade Ningguang again. We need to pay more attention to this matter. This time, Liyue must seize the initiative!

Qixing was already very proactive, but she felt it still wasn't enough.

Amid this minor shock, Beidou had lunch, then visited two more sites before leaving the factory and parting ways with Jiang Ming.

It was already afternoon.

"Boss, are you alright?"

Wen Chen and An Xin went up to ask Bei Dou what was wrong when they saw his appearance.

"It's alright, I'll be fine after a while. Oh, by the way, were you guys thinking of wandering around and seeing some scenery?"

Beidou remembered what they had said yesterday: to observe more closely. So he started cooperating with them.

"Yes, but..."

Wen Chen pursed his lips and glanced at the sparrows on guard not far away.

"They advised us to go back to our lodgings unless necessary and not to wander around unnecessarily. Boss, you be the judge! Isn't this practically house arrest?"

Wen Chen said this in a sarcastic tone, and deliberately raised his voice so that the sparrow could hear him.

The sparrow remained unmoved.

“Mr. Wenchen, your attempts to provoke me will not work. Our proposal is entirely based on concerns for your personal safety and has nothing to do with any other factors.”

"Then shall we walk around a bit, is that alright?"

The sparrow lowered its head and remained silent for a moment.

I still recommend that you return to your accommodation.

"Anxin, let's go."

"..."

"Eh~"

The sparrow sighed silently.

He waved to signal the guards in the distance to follow.

“If you insist on moving freely, I suggest you do not leave the docks and industrial area.”

The sparrow called out loudly in the direction the two had left.

I don't know if the two of them heard it or not.

“Miss Sparrow, if their words were offensive, then I apologize on their behalf.”
