Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

Bai Li said calmly, "That's good. At least we won't have to rummage through drawers and cabinets to find things anymore."

"I have more and more things. Before, I could find them by memory. But after a while, even I probably won't know where I put them if I just rely on my memory."

Miao Zhiming thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the biggest advantage of this sorting device isn't just that it makes finding things easier, is it?"

"Whoever is in charge of receiving the goods no longer needs to sort them one by one. They just need to put the items into the entrance and they will all go into their proper places."

"In this way, not only is it convenient to use, but it is also much easier to take inventory."

Song Yingxing is right.

Bai Li expressed her agreement.

The real savings of sorting devices are never the effort required to move materials, but rather the significant amount of time spent managing them.

As the population grows and the workshops and farms expand, the amount of supplies entering and leaving the warehouses every day will be staggering.

This automated sorting warehouse is equivalent to establishing a well-organized material management system for the entire city of Li.

In this way, even if the amount of materials in the warehouse increases tenfold in the future, it will still be able to be managed in an orderly manner.

"In that case, I can save myself a lot of trouble," Miao Zhiming murmured.

A tribute to the legendary stress-resistant veteran, Lao Miao.

Bai Li looked at the warehouse and nodded in satisfaction: "Redstone, it's really a good thing!"

Song Yingxing spoke up, "Young Master Bai, I have a question. Are the red stones currently in the workshop's chest all there are?"

Bai Li thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "More or less."

"Even if we include the extra set that can still be traded today, it's only 108 more sets of redstone dust."

Song Yingxing said leisurely, "It seems that we can continue to study redstone in the future, but if we want to build new large-scale redstone buildings in the future, we will probably have to postpone it for a while."

"Redstone is almost gone."

Bai Li frowned slightly, her face full of surprise: "Almost used up, how could it be so fast?"

For the past year, the first thing he did every morning after waking up was to go and trade redstone dust with the three priests.

I've been saving up little by little for over a year.

It took a lot of effort to accumulate this little bit of wealth.

How come it's almost empty after such a short time?

Seeing Bai Li's puzzled expression, Song Yingxing explained, "It's an automatic sugarcane and bamboo harvester, and an automatic chicken-killing device."

"In addition to this automated sorting warehouse, there are also the redstone perpetual motion machines used in various workshops."

"Almost every place requires a lot of redstone dust."

After listening, Bai Li fell silent.

Previously, these red stones were for his own use, with perhaps a few companions at most.

But that's more than enough.

Moreover, it can mine minerals. When encountering redstone ore, Bai Li doesn't even bother to waste the durability of his pickaxe.

But now, it is supplying the entire city of Li, no, the entire region.

As more and more facilities come into operation, the consumption of redstone naturally increases.

What was once enough reserves for one person to squander for a long time now seems insufficient when faced with the development of hundreds of thousands of people.

The most crucial issue is that there are simply too few priests!

Thinking of this, Bai Li turned to Miao Zhiming: "How are things progressing in the other counties?"

Miao Zhiming cupped his hands in greeting and replied, "If everything goes smoothly, it should be completed in about a month, at which time the job transfer can be arranged."

Bai Li nodded: "Hopefully we can find a few more pastors."

Song Yingxing spoke up: "By the way, Young Master Bai, speaking of the Red Stone Perpetual Motion Machine, Li Daliang has recently come up with a few new ideas."

"Following those ideas and combining them with my own understanding of redstone, I improved several new structures."

Bai Li's eyes lit up. "Oh? Let's go take a look."

……

Arriving at the workshop.

Several brand-new redstone devices have appeared in the workshop.

It is emitting redstone signals indefinitely, causing the redstone dust to flash.

Bai Li understood immediately after just one glance.

These devices are completely different from the perpetual motion machines I make; they don't require redstone blocks, or even long redstone circuits.

Instead, there is only a redstone torch, a small amount of redstone dust, and a redstone comparator.

Some even have only one or two detectors.

The structure is surprisingly simple.

In Bai Li's understanding, these kinds of devices have a unified name.

High frequency redstone!

The so-called redstone high frequency is not a completely new component, but rather utilizes the characteristics of components such as redstone torches, comparators, and detectors to make redstone signals flash continuously at extremely high frequencies.

In this way, pulse signals can be generated continuously.

Many redstone machines that require continuous operation can be powered by this.

Compared to the perpetual motion machine I used to make using redstone, this not only saves more materials but also takes up much less space.

"Young Master Bai really does know about these devices." Song Yingxing revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Bai Li nodded and said, "I originally thought you would need at least a few more months to figure it out, but I didn't expect you to discover it so quickly."

Bai Li's tone carried an undisguised admiration.

Song Yingxing shook his head and smiled:

"I dare not take credit for it. I only know a little about the uses of these redstone devices and what kind of reactions they will produce."

"It was Li Daliang who really came up with these structures; he always comes up with many imaginative ideas."

"I just tried those ideas one by one, and by sheer luck, I actually succeeded."

Bai Li nodded.

Li Daliang was responsible for coming up with wildly imaginative ideas.

Song Yingxing, on the other hand, turned those ideas into reality step by step by relying on his understanding of the properties of redstone.

The two worked together seamlessly.

"In that case, it's time to replace those old perpetual motion machines in the workshop," Bai Li said. "This kind of structure doesn't require redstone blocks; it can be completed using only redstone torches and comparators. The redstone blocks that are removed can also be broken down back into redstone dust."

"After recycling, we can save a lot of redstone, enough to last for a while longer."

Bai Li was making plans in her mind.

The amount of redstone being consumed daily is increasing.

Every little bit helps.

After all, the biggest problem right now is that there isn’t enough redstone to build it.

Song Yingxing nodded and said, "If we replace them all, we can indeed save a lot of materials, and the new perpetual motion machine will take up less space, making it much easier to set up the workshop in the future."

Bai Li smiled and said, "Then it's settled. Let's start by replacing the workshops that consume the most redstone. Don't waste a single redstone block; recycle them all."

I'll have to live that kind of life sooner or later.

The days of using one redstone dust and then discarding another redstone dust!
