MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 96
Six hours after the world's first electrified greenhouse, the second snow fell. There are only one or two briquettes left, but people who have upgraded to clean energy in an unscientific (or, as the saying goes, no alchemy) method can finally stay comfortably in a warm room and enjoy the snow.
Lydia used the healing technique on Anxu's hand, but she didn't care about it, and she was still excited about her feat. Countless sages have fallen on this dangerous research that makes Thunderbolt usable by humans. With the ability to unlock, it only takes a few hours to enter a new era. It feels amazing to complete this by yourself. An Xu never worried that she would play with firearms, she believed with full confidence that the snake would not be poisoned to death by her venom. Perhaps it was this peace of mind that contributed to her success.
An Xu held the resistance wire and sat near the door. The position of the "heating switch" is not very good. If she wants to power on the room, she has to stay at the gate, like a concierge, lacking the compulsion to flick her clothes to hide her achievements and fame. The rush-built house only has toilets and bathrooms separated, and there are no partitions in other parts. This location can give you a panoramic view.
People brought her blankets and retreated gratefully, all far away from the corner where she was, so as not to disturb the Thunder Queen's purity. They bowed their heads humbly in front of her, but the ease and joy on their faces could not be faked. An Xu saw the nimble medical student changing the ice pack on the head of a patient with a fever, and the patient complained about his unsatisfactory body; This cold and beautiful scenery; she saw the old people gathered around and began to play a kind of card with words written on it. People sat cross-legged on the ground with bare feet as if they were in the middle of busy farming, chatting about what the Thunder Castle should look like at this time, and someone suddenly hummed a little tune by Tibes.
If the words sung by the other party were not multiplication tables, An Xu might still feel a little nostalgic.
Her dazed expression is not the same thing in the eyes of others. Chris felt the center of the tune in his hometown, so in his eyes, the earl who stayed alone outside the lively crowd also felt a bit lonely. He already had complicated emotions in his stomach, but now he was aroused by this scene, and couldn't help but walk directly to An's side.
Count Anna only noticed the knight when he squatted down, and she moved to the side, giving Chris half of the blanket. "Don't touch me." She said, "Although I'm not sure if I will get an electric shock if I touch it at this time, it's better to be safe."
In the past, this female alpha always had to move her hands when talking to Chris, wishing she could stick to him. Now that Ann was half a meter away from him, staring at him seriously, Chris didn't know what to say. When was the last time you talked face-to-face without flirting in an environment where you were not in a hurry? It may be traced back to the time when I was still in Alingu.
However, if you think about it carefully, their relationship in Alingu is not as dignified and polite as when a normal alpha and omega stay together. Ann would jump out from every corner, try to jump on him, dangle on his arm, and even climb onto his shoulder like a monkey. There was nothing evil in it, it was just a child messing around, even if she had differentiated into an alpha. Ann always pinched her little arms and legs, envious of Chris' tall stature. She complained: "When I walk with you in the crowd, I can only see you talking to the air."
At that time, Chris reassured her that teenagers would grow taller, but then Ann grew taller, and everything changed.
Chris shook off the memories in his head, and pulled the blanket covertly. He asked, "Is it because of your ability that the room becomes warmer?"
"Yes." Ann replied.
"You are still holding the wire. Does it mean that if you want to maintain this temperature here, you need to use your abilities non-stop?"
"No need!" An Xu smiled sadly, "The mountain man has his own tricks."
Not long after, the metal supernatural being Jim and several medical students brought the items An Xu explained. A large fish tank was placed in front of An Xu, which contained a solution of vinegar and salt. There was a large copper plate and a large fish tank in the solution. The aluminum plates are far away from each other, and the tails are connected with metal wires. This thing has shrunk several times, and it is similar to the experimental supplies in her memory. An Xu nodded, thinking that it was probably like this.
She started to touch the metal wire, and a circle of people hula surrounded her. Laymen didn't have the courage to watch the excitement of the Queen of Thunder, but the medical students came over out of curiosity. Adding strange objects to the water, stirring, glassware... These things are quite metaphysical in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of an alchemist's apprentice, there is a kind of intimacy of returning to the teacher's laboratory. These people who are considered experts in comparison held the simple belief that "miracles and supernatural powers can actually be explained by alchemy", and watched the Earl with wide eyes as he fiddled with the devices they made by themselves, wanting to find out what their lord made the room. The secret of being as warm as spring.
After a few minutes, a large group of mosquito coil eyes appeared.
Lord Earl's ability is electricity, why does electricity turn into heat?
"Because electric energy can be converted into heat energy, this kind of metal is not easy to pass electricity, and the electricity will squeeze through hard, and it will become hot."
So what does that have to do with a tank of solution?
"In order to store the flowing electricity inside."
The heat is transferred into the solution for "storage", why is the water that has stored the heat not hot?
"Because it's converted into chemical energy."
chemical energy…?
Most people fail under the super-class topic, An Xu is not a good teacher, she can't explain why, how can she be a teacher for others.
She is just following the gourd and drawing a ladle.
A middle school physics teacher made a simple and easy-to-understand experimental device for them to intuitively understand the operation of electricity. An Xu couldn't remember what the teacher explained to them. He only remembered that for their safety, the teacher used vinegar instead of sulfuric acid, and salt instead of a certain (yes, she forgot) chemical reagents, and made a scumbag. No problem with electrolyte. The small beaker containing the electrolyte is inserted into a cool metal plate and connected to a wire, which can store electricity and discharge to light a small bulb.
That's right, batteries.
Who wants to be an irreplaceable power supply all the time! There are heating wires, why not get out the battery? Voltage or something, anyway, you can experiment slowly.
"Why are there two electric boards?" The last stubborn medical student was still struggling and refused to give up.
"One side is the anode, and the other side is the cathode. Electricity will flow from one side to the other, and it will become an electric current, just like water falling from a high place." An Xu (not sure about it himself) explained.
"What are the conditions for choosing the anode" and "cathode"?" The student asked eagerly, writing down several pages.
"This," An Xu thought seriously, "Let's rely on intuition."
The last student is defeated.
The battery is essentially a whole composed of a cathode, an anode and an electrolyte in the middle, and there is a lot of room for variation in specific materials and combinations. Anxu has electric golden fingers. You can know which metal has a small resistance and can be used as a wire; which has a large resistance and will generate heat and can be used as a heating wire; which is easy to release electrons and can be used as a cathode; which is easy to accept electrons. , can be used as an anode—of course, if you ask An Xu to explain the conditions of the cathode and anode, she will not be able to tell. She is like a very capable electric eel. I don't know what an amp is, but she can still turn fish and shrimp into a belly.
The era of electrification without cheating will probably not come in a short time.
An Xu doesn't want to think about these future things, it is already worth applauding that the immediate matter can be resolved. Even when the electric blanket is unplugged, there will still be one or two residual warmth that disappears, and with the replacement of the battery, there is nothing to be afraid of! she thought ambitiously.
The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.
The larger the surface area of the battery, the stronger the electricity it can store. Even though the fish tank is big, the stored electricity can only heat the house for a few hours. In addition, the time left by the remaining heat after a power outage cannot allow Anxu to sleep soundly every night. for eight hours. She would wake up frozen, and when she, the best-built privileged class, was frozen awake, everyone else had been waking up shivering for a long time.
People never said anything, and even didn't dare to exercise to keep warm in order not to wake up the Earl. They just kept rubbing their hands and feet, and gave the bedding to the sick and infirm who needed it more. An Xu takes the weak but not the strong, they are so considerate, but she feels sorry for them. She asked Chris, who was up very early, to wake her up at a certain time, so that the batteries could be recharged early.
In addition, food is also a problem. They brought seeds, but even in the greenhouse, the seeds will not immediately become food. When the snow stopped, people went out to hunt. It was fine at first. A few days later, a sudden snowstorm trapped the hunters outside. In the end, one person died, and another had to have a dead leg amputated. There are three fingers.
An Xu couldn't sit still after staying in the depressed room for a few minutes. She ordered everyone to stay in the room and flew out by herself.
She urged the spirit core vigorously. After a few days of battery life, the spirit core that became a miser seemed to be a little loose. Although it could not perform large-scale AOE, it could release small lightning. She looked for prey in the sky, and when she found it, she drove the prey to the place where they lived with bolts of lightning. Ansu had them paint the roof red so she could find her way back through the snow.
I won't die anyway. An Xu thought, let me come, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Anxu will not die or be in pain, but she will be tired and injured. This was the busiest period of time for her, she fell asleep every day as if she passed out, and there were many chilblains on her body, and the healer could not completely cure these little troubles. She fell headfirst into sleep, woke up with yawns, and didn't have time to think about the image or not.
This was the darkest period for the team from Thunder Castle. The team trapped in the ice field couldn't use their abilities. It was Count Anna who survived the most difficult period. They lived in the same room with the Queen of Thunder, and they discovered that the other party was not as powerful and perfect as a **** in the legend. The imperfect, sleepy man was busy bringing warmth and food, and the room was filled with admiration and deep self-blame. Some people cry secretly, because of their own incompetence, because they cannot help or even have to drag down their faith.
Seeing the other side of the Thunder Queen did not shatter her faith, but instead created another urgency to do something for her. I'm afraid that anyone here would be willing to die for her.
An Xu woke up in the middle of the night and found that the person he was leaning on was awake.
She slid into Chris's arms, and the knight opened his arms to let her penetrate, and tucked her in the quilt. It's really healing, she thought sleepily, and heard the other party whisper to herself: "Aren't you tired like this?"
"Yeah yeah," she said vaguely.
"You said everything was just for fun." Chris sounded more confused. "Then why are you working hard for someone else?"
"I'm happy." An Xu said, "Compared to the death of these people, they are happier alive. Compared to them being unhappy, they are happier to be happy."
She was so sleepy that she couldn't speak clearly, and the logic of her sentences was half asleep, and she probably didn't remember what happened in the middle of the night when she woke up the next day. An Xu squinted his eyes to see the source of the noise, but felt that his face was so beautiful, so he couldn't help but leaned over and bit him on the neck.
"Where are the natives here?" Chris continued, vocal throat vibrating under her teeth.
In this hazy situation, An Xu miraculously connected to Chris' radio wave, knowing what he wanted to ask. She replied: "They didn't mess with me. I'm in a good mood and don't care about it."
"What about me?" Chris said suddenly, "Will you feel better if you treat me like this?"
"Well." An Xu said vaguely, "So Chris has to be good..."
What should I do well? No one knew, probably including herself. Ann's thinking was a mess that was useless to read, the voice was so soft that it disappeared, and she fell asleep again.
The knight's waking eyes looked at her side face for a long time, saw her grabbing her hand, and looked at the sleeping crowd in the tent.
If it makes you happy, he thought, if that alone makes you calm, I'll be good.
