Industrial Cultivation

Chapter 4: Dry food man

Views:

The deacon disciple brought Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu to the room prepared by Baigongmen.

Seeing that the two had signed up together, Baigongmen specially arranged their rooms to be connected, which showed great humanistic care.

Zhu Changyang: There’s no need to be so thoughtful. If possible, he hopes to keep a certain distance from the scammers.

Over the next two days, those who had registered would go to their respective rooms and use the materials provided by Baigongmen to refine their works, and submit their works on the third day.

Those whose works pass the test can officially become apprentices and become technician apprentices of Lanxiang Technical School.

Food and accommodation included!

After thanking the deacon disciple, Zhu Changyang returned to the room, closed the door, and then entered the workshop he had traveled to.

He took the bicycle out of his pocket during the day just to conceal his identity and make people in the cultivation world mistakenly think that it was a mustard bag. In fact, the workshop was opened by his consciousness.

This was Zhu Changyang's second time in the workshop. The first time was when he was making bicycles. At that time, time was tight and he had no time to study this place carefully. It was not until this moment that he had the leisure to examine it carefully.

This workshop was originally virtualized by Pujiang using plane technology. It basically includes all kinds of equipment and instruments needed by modern industry. It should have been able to flourish on the [Light of Humanity] plane.

Unexpectedly, the sudden time travel disrupted his plan, but fortunately, the workshop also traveled through time.

Although this is not a scientific world and the role of the workshop is greatly weakened here, it is not completely in the dark.

However, Zhu Changyang is not sure how much effect it can have.

The workshop exists in the form of an independent space. If people from the cultivation world could see his workshop, they would be shocked.

Because this form of space is generally only available to those who are in the Mahayana stage in Piaomiao Continent, it is called a "realm".

The equipment and instruments in the workshop currently exist in the form of data. Looking around, there are only floating photoelectric shadows, and no real objects or boundaries can be seen.

Just enter the program on the control panel to call out the corresponding device.

From something as small as a wrench to something as large as an automated assembly line, as long as there are raw materials and drawings, it is theoretically possible to realize an one-stop industry from mining to manufacturing.

Just in theory.

Because many advanced functions have not been activated yet, they appear gray and cannot be started on the panel.

This is the setting of the "Science and Technology to Revitalize the Country" channel, which aims to prevent some anchors from relying too much on advanced technology, making the game less challenging and watchable.

On the technology front, as the competition progresses, the anchors will continue to iterate and unlock new technologies.

But now that he is in the world of cultivation, can these functions still be unlocked? Or, how to unlock them

This question could not be answered for the time being, so Zhu Changyang did not dwell on it too much. After rechecking the functions of the workshop, he shifted his focus to the current competition.

The pile of low-quality waste stones that were treated as junk by Baigongmen was piled in the workshop. Zhu Changyang picked up a few pieces and put them on the operating table. The light was not good just now, so he only took a quick look. Now, with the help of the light from the operating table, he looked at it carefully and couldn't help but feel more emotional.

The world of cultivation is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Even these stones that are discarded by cultivators are actually raw ores of extremely high quality.

Zhu Changyang had seen some unused spirit stones at the market before. They were covered with a faint halo and their original appearance could not be seen.

Unexpectedly, after the spiritual power was sucked away, what appeared were pieces of ore. Some were almost entirely pure minerals, and no impurities could even be seen with the naked eye.

Zhu Changyang vaguely felt that the spiritual stones in this world and the minerals in modern society seemed to have certain similarities.

However, the era here is still relatively early, similar to the ancient China. People could not fully understand many minerals other than gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. which were relatively easy to smelt and extract, let alone use them. In their eyes, most ores were just stones with different properties.

While Zhu Changyang was pondering, he pulled out the ore analyzer and began to test and analyze the ores. Soon he came to a conclusion.

These raw ores, known as low-grade waste rocks, come in many varieties. Just from this pile, more than twenty kinds of minerals were detected in total, but they are all common species, and no rare minerals were detected.

The more types there are, the smaller the number of each type on average.

Fortunately, the grade of these ores is very high, and the mineral content is almost above 90%, and a few reach an astonishing 100%. They do not even require smelting and purification and can be used directly.

Zhu Changyang entered the test results of the ore into the system one by one. After entering, the ore was automatically classified and stored.

In this way, he finally had inventory in his backend, but the quantity was a little small, with the largest amount being more than a thousand grams and the smallest being only a dozen grams.

It is impossible to manufacture large items, and the high-end assembly line has not yet been unlocked.

Zhu Changyang brought out a small-sized smelting furnace and threw some ore that needed smelting into it for purification, while at the same time thinking about what could be done with the existing materials.

Manganese, zinc, graphite, quartz sand, leftover iron from bicycle manufacturing, and…

Zhu Changyang's eyes rested on a black plate-like ore. This mineral was not recognized and used by people for a long time in his original time and space. It was not until modern times that it entered the public eye. The ancients called it "heavy stone" and modern people call it "tungsten".

He had an idea in his mind and immediately perked up and started making drawings.

.

Zhu Changyang was awakened by hunger. The dry food and canned food he brought with him were officially used up. He also rode a bicycle for half a day yesterday, which consumed a lot of energy.

So even though he worked until late last night, he was awakened by hunger as soon as it got light outside.

Zhu Changyang opened the door hungrily, and happened to run into the deacon disciple who had led them yesterday who came to inspect the situation.

Zhu Changyang quickly stopped him and asked, "Brother, when is breakfast?"

The deacon disciple looked puzzled: "Breakfast?"

Zhu Changyang was even more confused than him: "Why, don't you provide food for the exam?"

This exam will last for two days! You can't even not provide a meal!

The deacon disciple was silent for a moment, then calmly asked, "You haven't fasted yet?"

“…” Zhu Changyang wiped his face, he had forgotten that you cultivators have this trick.

The Baigong Sect did not save on this food expense, but most people in the cultivation world have learned fasting. Even those who have not yet fully practiced fasting will bring their own fasting pills in order to save as much time as possible on refining and testing equipment.

It was the first time that the deacon disciple encountered a candidate who got up early in the morning to find something to eat. Isn't this equivalent to loudly declaring that his cultivation is not good enough

This guy looks more and more like a liar.

The deacon disciple became more suspicious, but still pointed out a way: "The kitchen is near the stream, go around there and keep going forward..."

Zhu Changyang carefully noted down the route and estimated that it was almost two miles away from here.

Luckily he had the equipment!

Zhu Changyang thanked the deacon disciple and took the bicycle out of the workshop.

Almost at the same time as the car landed, the door of the next room opened immediately, and Jun Shu poked his head out from inside, with his black hair falling from his shoulders, looking very charming.

Zhu Changyang: “…”

Did this guy install a surveillance camera on his bike? He knew it as soon as he took it out!

He was so hungry that he was in no mood to argue. He simply waved his hand and said, "Get in the car."

Jun Shu's eyes curved immediately, he walked over in two or three steps, and jumped into the back seat of the car with a smile: "Okay."

Not to mention, the guy who hit the car suddenly looked tall and slender, and he didn't seem very heavy when sitting in the car, which didn't add much pressure to him.

Zhu Changyang didn't think much about it. He was only focused on eating. He followed the route given by the deacon disciple and soon found the kitchen, which was also the cafeteria.

The cafeteria is the least noticeable place in the world of cultivation. Cultivators who have undergone fasting do not need to eat, and if they occasionally eat something, they prefer spiritual fruits and elixir.

Therefore, usually only servants and new disciples come in and out of this place.

I didn't expect that two good-looking people would come to this ordinary place today, and they came on a strange-looking two-wheeled vehicle.

The people from Baigongmen who were eating looked sideways curiously.

Zhu Changyang ignored him and went straight to the place where food was served. He showed his candidate ID badge, ordered everything he could see, found a table, sat down and started eating.

Everyone looked at him silently: "..."

Jun Shu was not so wild. He looked around at the dishes, a trace of disgust appeared on his face. He picked and chose, and finally picked up a plate of cakes and sat opposite Zhu Changyang.

“Is it so delicious?” Jun Shu looked at the food across from him, feeling very puzzled.

Zhu Changyang didn't even raise his head and said vaguely, "Not bad."

After all, this is the world of cultivation, and the quality of grains, vegetables and meat are all excellent, except for the seasoning, which is not known whether it is because these people do not value their appetite or because of the lack of seasoning.

However, this little flaw is nothing in the face of real hunger.

Zhu Changyang quickly finished all the dishes and ordered two large bowls of rice. He put down his bowl and chopsticks reluctantly until he could eat no more. He said in Wang Jingze's voice, "It smells so good."

The people from the Baigong Sect around: “… … … …”

Nowadays, it is rare to see people eating like this in the world of cultivation.

That was all. After taking a break, Zhu Changyang actually took out a metal box from his pocket, found the chef, and asked, "Hello, Chef, can you give me some salt and flour?"

Members of Baigongmen:

No way, it’s not enough to just eat it, you also have to pack it up and take it away

And it’s not a prepared food, so why do they need salt and flour

The chef's face was full of smiles. Cultivators viewed diet as an obstacle to their practice, so normally people who came here to dine were extremely restrained. Not only did they eat very little, their reactions were also very indifferent.

It's rare to see someone who eats so deliciously. The chef's sense of accomplishment was instantly boosted, and his favorability towards Zhu Changyang also increased.

Seeing Zhu Changyang asking for something, the chef took out the salt shaker and flour bag without saying a word and said, "Take as much as you want."

Zhu Changyang hurriedly thanked him and began to fill the metal box in his hand with flour and salt. This box was actually a can of food he brought with him. After he finished the food inside, he couldn't bear to throw away the box, so it came in handy now.

The chef looked at it and said enthusiastically, "Is that all you need? This is only enough for two pancakes. Do you want me to top it up for you?"

Zhu Changyang waved his hands quickly: "Enough, enough."

At the same time, I thought secretly in my heart that this chef is very capable and is really generous in giving things away. If I fail the test tomorrow, I will come to him and get a few kilograms of flour.

Now, it’s time to get down to business, it’s not time to make a living!

After packing his things, Zhu Changyang left the kitchen. Jun Shu followed him immediately without any greeting, which could be said to be a completely automatic scam.

Zhu Changyang was also numb. Just as he was about to take out his bicycle, he saw Chang Fengchi walking towards him.

Chang Fengchi was in a very complicated mood at this moment. He had seen yesterday that Zhu Changyang seemed to have a talent for creation, so he made an exception and let him enter the preliminary test. However, it was not convenient for him to get involved too much, so he left the rest of the matter to the deacon disciple.

He happened to meet the deacon's disciple this morning, so he casually asked about everyone's experience in selecting materials. Unexpectedly, the answer he got was beyond his expectations.

It is said that Jun Shu only asked for a handful of feathers and a bone.

Zhu Changyang was even more outrageous. He didn't take any materials from the warehouse, but instead took a pile of low-quality waste rocks that were about to be thrown away.

When he said this, the deacon disciple's eyes were clearly filled with indescribable emotion.

Chang Fengchi always felt that he seemed to want to say something to him.

However, compared to the deacon disciple's hesitant look, he was more puzzled by Zhu Changyang's behavior.

Chang Fengchi knew that some skilled craftsmen among mortals would extract certain metals such as copper, iron, gold and silver from waste rocks for use, especially copper and iron.

However, the refining methods of those mortals are crude and the procedures are crude. Not only is it extremely laborious to create a thing, but what they produce is just an ordinary object, which is not at all comparable to the magical instruments for cultivation.

Furthermore, the copper and iron that can be refined from that bit of waste rock are very little, not even enough to make an ordinary dagger.

Did I make a mistake again

After much thought, Chang Fengchi decided to ask Zhu Changyang, so he came here.

Seeing Zhu Changyang at this time, Chang Fengchi was a little embarrassed. He felt that it was not good to question him in person, so he had to ask cryptically: "Brother Zhu, I heard from the people in the Deacon Hall that you didn't seem to find anything suitable in the warehouse last night. Is it because all the materials you wanted were taken away

You arrived late, so the remaining items are indeed a little less, which is not fair to you. If you need something else, you can tell me. As long as it is within the rules, I can make the decision to give you some..."

What he said was actually a bit biased, which was inappropriate because Zhu Changyang didn't have any serious materials.

If nothing could be produced tomorrow, Chang Fengchi would lose face, so he had to make another exception.

Chang Fengchi was thinking about what other materials were within the rules and could be given away, when he saw Zhu Changyang smile and show the two iron boxes in his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, I am indeed short of some materials, but I have already got them."

Chang Fengchi took a closer look:?

What the hell

Isn't this just ordinary salt and flour

Ah, he wouldn't be fooled! .

[Piaomiao Continent] Live Room

[Hahahahaha, the young master's eyes look so stupid! ]

[Don't say that about him. He and I have the same look in our eyes at this moment.]

[Chang Yang must be really starving. He actually packed salt and flour. Is he really going to go back and make some pancakes himself? ]

[Hold on! Don't laugh at Chang Yang! He is preparing for a rainy day. If he fails the test tomorrow, he will have nothing to eat. It's really smart to stock up on some flour now! ]

[This is so miserable. This is the first time I’ve seen someone starving to this extent in a cultivation livestream. This is a world where everyone is practicing Bigu fasting!]
