Chapter 53

"What is a generator? Can it create lightning? Can it create heavenly tribulations?" Xia Qingqing, Bei Chenyuqing, Fang Shijing, and Ling Zhifeng looked at the thing in front of them with surprise and a hint of fear—this is a generator?

The generator has undergone a complete transformation; its size has increased to about two meters, with lightning and thunder inside. It is connected to the external spirit-gathering arrays through four pairs, or eight spirit-gathering array wires. The built-in spirit-gathering array of the generator has been removed, simplifying the device.

Two finger-thick wires wrapped in dry coarse hemp cloth extend from both ends of the generator, connecting to over a hundred large light bulbs.

It's good to have cultivation. As long as Li Xian started it, the rest of the experimental items could be made using spells—although the light bulbs were somewhat ugly, they were sufficient for experiments.

Now, Tang Rong and others were no longer so afraid of electricity. They could explore it with a spirit of inquiry. They no longer cared about "stealing the power of heaven." If it really was stealing the power of heaven, there would have been heavenly punishment long ago.

Since there was no heavenly punishment, it meant this thing could be studied. The cultivators, who were now more daring, made rapid progress. Li Xian went to Wuyang City for a round, and they solved many problems, even making the various tools Li Xian had mentioned before.

Those who can cultivate, especially those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, seem to be no fools.

Seeing the array generator technology initially mature, both Li Xian and Xu Ren were delighted and went to observe it, leaving Xia Qingqing, Bei Chenyuqing, Fang Shijing, and Ling Zhifeng aside.

Xia Qingqing, though she had endured many hardships since childhood, understood the situation. However, seeing Li Xian act so "irresponsibly" and leave her, this delicate beauty, to one side to look at that cold machine, she felt a bit jealous. But she still followed Li Xian, wanting to see what this "generator" was all about.

Li Xian also personally participated in the inspection. After confirming that there were no issues with the insulation of the wires, he personally closed the switch.

Instantly, the over a hundred light bulbs that were already prepared lit up simultaneously. The sudden, blinding light startled Xia Qingqing, Bei Chenyuqing, Fang Shijing, and Ling Zhifeng. Xia Qingqing was even scared enough to crouch behind Li Xian, peering out with a cute expression.

Unfortunately, Li Xian's eyes were only on the generator. Seeing all the light bulbs light up and the current and voltage on the ammeter stabilize, he was overjoyed, "Ha ha, great, great! The problem of electricity is solved, and the problem of wires is also solved! Solving the problem of wires, we can truly let our dreams take flight! Good, great!"

Next, he prepared to create an electromagnetic vortex furnace, which requires alternating current. "Everyone, do you have any ideas about this?"

It turns out that the current from the array generator is more like that of a fuel cell, outputting direct current (DC) rather than alternating current (AC). Although DC is good, in the early stages of electrical development, AC is undoubtedly better.

Tang Rong smiled confidently, "Young Master, we have already thought about it. The solution is simple; we just need to add a yin-yang conversion array to the two wires. This way, as long as it is set up, we can easily change the frequency of the alternating current. Young Master, look, we have already made it."

Li Xian looked over and saw a watermelon-sized rotating device driven by the generator. The entire device was divided into three parts, with the front and back parts fixed and only the middle part rotating. It was actually a Taiji disk. As long as this Taiji disk rotated, it could easily change the polarity of the current.

"Great!" Li Xian was truly overjoyed. It seemed that the most difficult times were over, and the research on wires and electricity was making rapid progress.

Next, everyone began to discuss how to make the "furnace."

Li Xian directly left Xia Qingqing, Bei Chenyuqing, Fang Shijing, and Ling Zhifeng aside and started the discussion:

"The melting point of jade should be within 2600 degrees. The melting point of steel does not exceed 1600 degrees. As for gold, silver, and copper, their melting points are even lower. Besides the melting point, there is also the boiling point. Under normal conditions, the boiling point of iron is around 2750 degrees, and the boiling point of gold is slightly above 2800 degrees.

However, it is speculated that the temperature of heavenly fire must exceed 6000 degrees, which creates two problems to overcome.

First, how to prevent the furnace shell from melting?

Second, during the refining of black iron and refined gold, the heavenly fire should not cause the metal to boil and evaporate, leaving behind some essence. If that were the case, people would have long discovered refined gold, mithril, red copper, and black iron.

Since it is not about evaporating unnecessary substances, there is only one possibility: under some unknown conditions, the heavenly fire, in addition to high temperature, also has ultra-high pressure. The combination of high temperature and high pressure changes the properties of the material.

Therefore, we must ensure that even if the temperature exceeds 6000 degrees, or even 10,000 degrees, the metal does not boil!"

Tang Rong, while taking notes, thought, "Young Master is right. For the first point, how to ensure the furnace does not melt, I have an idea. We can use the Three Pure Fires array to create an insulating layer and reinforce it with the Earth Array. However, this will use up seven spirit stones and can only last for three days."

"Use it!" Li Xian said without hesitation.

"Spirit stones?!" Hearing about spirit stones, Xia Qingqing, Bei Chenyuqing, Fang Shijing, and Ling Zhifeng widened their eyes. This small, remote valley actually had spirit stones, and it looked like there were more than just seven!

Unfortunately, no one responded to their surprise.

After Tang Rong finished speaking, he scratched his head, "But how to prevent the metal from boiling, Young Master, I can't think of a good way."

Everyone else also scratched their heads. It was easy to destroy something—after all, destruction is a byproduct of cultivation. But protecting something was much more difficult. Preventing metal from boiling, in a sense, is also a form of protection.

Seeing everyone at a loss, Li Xian finally remembered the four newcomers.

However, when Li Xian asked them for the first time, none of the four could answer—frankly, they were still confused about what was happening.

Seeing everyone frowning, Li Xian finally spoke up, "To prevent metal from boiling is relatively simple. Boiling is like a rebellion; it just needs to be suppressed. High-pressure suppression!

However, the high pressure needed to prevent metal from boiling is not political pressure but atmospheric pressure.

Everyone can do an experiment, which can be easily achieved with a simple spell. A pot of boiling water will not boil if you use a spell to apply pressure around it."

Everyone immediately tried it, and it worked; when the water was boiling, applying pressure with a spell made the water calm down again, and the temperature continued to rise.

"But if we are refining iron at 6000 degrees, it would be too dangerous to do this!" Tang Rong was troubled. After several experimental explosions, everyone had established the concept of "experimental danger."

"It can be done this way," Li Xian began to draw and explain, and everyone gradually understood. It could be done this way.
