In addition to these electric protective nets, some life-related electrical appliances also appeared.
Light (green): emits a weak yellow light, illuminating a small room. Requires Iron (green)*1, Glass (green)*2, Copper Block (green)*1
Electric grill (green): can grill food, smokeless grilling is healthier! Requires iron block (green) * 10, copper block (green) * 2
Range hood (green): An appliance that extracts fumes and discharges them from the tree house. A must-have appliance in the kitchen! Requires 10 iron blocks (green) and 2 copper blocks (green).
Electric water pump (green): Connect to the water source, it can automatically draw water after power is turned on, and needs to be connected to the pipeline for use. Requires iron block (green) * 5, copper block (green) * 2
Electric water heater (green): can heat water, can be used for shower, needs to be connected to pipes. Requires iron block (green) * 5, copper block (green) * 2
Pipe (green): Pipe connecting the water pump, which can withstand water at a temperature of 0-100 degrees. Pipe * 1m requires iron block (green) * 1
This is possible, this is really possible!
With these, his tree house really feels like a home!
Not to mention the electric oven and range hood, the electric water pump and electric water heater at the back were enough to make him smile.
He had always felt that the bathroom in his house was too basic. He had to fetch water every time and usually went outside to relieve himself. There was no water heater. When the weather was hot before, the water temperature was just right. Now it is so cold that he has to boil water every time he takes a shower.
It's too troublesome and time-consuming, and it's not safe to go out and solve the problem.
And now, electric water pumps can be used to pump water!
The power system must be built.
This time it really is a major transformation from the inside out! Most importantly, these appliances don’t require a lot of copper. The electrical grids and pipes that require the most copper don’t require copper!
The copper blocks in his hand can meet the needs of many people!
Just do it.
The first is the generator.
Since he has a coal mine, it is impossible for him to use a hand-cranked generator.
However, the introduction of coal generators says that they will produce exhaust gas, heat and noise, so it is best not to place coal generators inside a tree house.
Xu Xin thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to leave it outside.
It is not safe outside the tree house. Even though it is surrounded by plant hearts, there will still be natural disasters, behemoths and other factors that he cannot predict. It is really inappropriate to place a generator, which provides electricity, outside the tree house.
You know, the three major elements of the Doomsday Fortress, food, energy, and weapons, must all be inside the fortress. Once attacked, you can defend the fortress to the death. As long as the fortress is not destroyed, there will not be any major losses.
Therefore, things like generators should be placed inside the tree house.
But exhaust, heat and noise...
Xu Xin thought of the newly expanded space on the first and second floors.
Those spaces are completely separated from the third-floor living area and fourth-floor planting area where he lives, and are far enough away that there is no need to worry about them affecting each other.
I chose the new tree house space on the second floor! The second floor also happens to be home to various workshops and workbenches, giving it a factory vibe.
Moreover, there is no third floor above the newly appeared second floor, which makes it more convenient for the discharge of exhaust gas, after all, exhaust outlets can be opened on it.
Xu Xin immediately went down to the second floor and pushed open the door to the new space.
This newly appeared space of 100 square meters seems to be a little bigger than when I came here last time.
According to the introduction of the banyan tree, the crown of this banyan tree will continue to grow!
However, this presents a problem.
As the banyan tree continues to grow, will the positions of the items placed in the tree house change
Xu Xin observed carefully, and through the patterns on the floor and walls, he came to a conclusion: the formed floor will not change, will not stretch as a whole, but will continue to grow from the edges to expand its area.
In other words, if he places a coal generator next to the window and wants to use the window to discharge exhaust gas, as the banyan tree grows, the position of the generator will not change, but the window will be farther and farther away from the generator!
Hmm... that's a bit troublesome.
He could make a hole in the ceiling to let in air, but that would involve issues like rainwater...
Let's do this first. Anyway, the tree house is not growing very fast. It looks like it may not grow more than a few centimeters a day. At worst, we can just adjust it later.
After making the decision, Xu Xin immediately made a coal-fired generator.
Please select a placement location.
He directly chose a location at the edge of the second-floor tree house, close to the window for exhaust, which was the farthest from his living area.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, a coal-fired generator three meters wide and one and a half meters high appeared beside the window.
Xu Xin walked forward to observe.
The entire generator is made of iron, showing a bright metallic color, and the angular structure looks really technological. In front of the generator, there is a round iron cover with a handle on it.
He pulled the handle open, revealing a furnace-like combustion chamber.
It seems that all you need to do is put coal in it.
Xu Xin did not throw coal directly into it. He had not yet connected the wires and the battery, so starting it would only be a waste of coal.
He thought about it and built a few more walls around it, enclosing the entire coal generator into a small room. Otherwise, the exhaust gas produced during power generation would fill the whole room. In this way, there was only one exhaust outlet, the window, and there would be no problem.
Let's call this small room the power room.
Next is the battery. With the battery, the generator can generate and store electricity.
He immediately marked out an area as a battery storage room, and then made a battery and put it in it.
This battery is really big. It is a cylinder nearly one meter high and about half a meter in diameter, standing on the ground.
There was a small screen on the surface of the cylinder, which was black. Xu Xin clicked it and the screen lit up.
Remaining power: 0%
Although there is no electricity, it can still light up. The principle should be similar to the tree house screen and those workbenches. The energy is provided by the tree house.
The next step is to connect the battery and generator.
However, how should the wire be placed? There is no insulating rubber or something. Won't I get an electric shock if I accidentally touch it
He immediately returned to the workshop and tried to make a ten-meter wire using a piece of copper (green).
Wire routing can be set.
Select wire path
Xu Xin discovered that the structural diagram of the entire tree house appeared on the small screen on the basic electrical appliance production table.
Could it be that the wires were buried directly into the walls or floors of the tree house
Xu Xin tried to control the screen and connect the wires to the generator, along the floor of the tree house, and directly to the battery in another room.
The wire routing is complete.
Xu Xin immediately ran to check the generator and found that there was no trace on the path where he had set up the wires.
Sure enough, the wires were automatically buried in the tree house walls.
This is more comfortable and saves you from the mess of wires and the possibility of electric shock.
He immediately opened the small round iron door of the generator, tentatively threw a few pieces of coal inside, and then closed it.
The moment he closed it, a number lit up on the small round iron door: 7/200. Then, the generator began to roar, started to operate, and the entire generator began to vibrate.
He had indeed thrown seven pieces of coal in. It seemed that the coal generator could hold at most two hundred pieces of coal.
However, the noise is indeed quite loud, but it should not affect his living area.
Xu Xin went to the next room again. The battery screen had automatically lit up and displayed the words "Charging", but the battery level was still 0%.
Then, right under Xu Xin's nose, it jumped to 1%.
"The power generation speed of this coal generator is not very fast." Xu Xin said to himself.
But that's true, this battery can store a total of five degrees of electricity, which is still a lot.
Under normal circumstances, a family consumes about 5-10 kWh of electricity a day. When using power-consuming appliances such as refrigerators, water heaters, freezers, desktop computers, etc., the daily electricity consumption is about ten kWh.
Looking at the charging speed, the battery should be fully charged in about an hour.
Pretty good charging efficiency.
However, storing only five kilowatt-hours of electricity is still too little, and energy also needs to be stored.
Xu Xin decided to directly make a blue-level battery.
A green-level battery requires five green-level iron blocks and two green-level copper blocks, while a blue-level battery requires one blue-level iron block and one blue-level copper block.
He now has twelve blue-level copper bars in his hand and can use one of them.
Electricity storage is very necessary. According to the instructions that the power grid and power trap must be connected to batteries, both the power grid and the power trap require a large amount of stored electricity to support them.
Xu Xin immediately made a piece without hesitation.
Battery (blue): Advanced battery used to store excess power from the generator, capable of storing up to 180,000 kilojoules of power.
Wow, a 0 was added!
50 kWh of electricity reserve!
This is so much more comfortable!
Xu Xin put it into the battery room, placed it side by side with the green-level battery, and connected them together with wires.
His coal generator immediately began charging both batteries.
Xu Xin went to the power room again and filled the coal generator with coal.
"Buzz!" The coal generator roared.
Then, gas began to be produced. Although it was colorless and invisible, Xu Xin could already smell the odor in the air.
Is this... the smell of gas
Coal gas is actually carbon monoxide, which is the product of incomplete combustion of carbon. Inhaling too much can cause poisoning.
Unexpectedly, this generator actually produces gas...
Speaking of this thing, can we collect it and use it? After all, it can be used for cooking, and it can also be compressed, burned and exploded. It has many uses.
At this moment, his watch vibrated. It was a video call from Li Wenxi.
After Xu Xin answered the call, he saw a table full of delicious dishes.
"Come on, we're all ready!" Li Wenxi pointed the camera at the table, "Look, there are so many... Wow, what's that behind you!"
Before she could finish her words, she was alerted by the coal generator behind Xu Xin, which was shaking slightly and making noises.
Xu Xin left the power generation room, closed the door, and then smiled and said, "Coal generator, I can generate electricity now."
"Hey? Generating electricity?" Lou Fei'er, who was standing nearby, immediately leaned over and asked, "Where is the generator?"
Xu Xin also heard the exclamations of Le Youfang and Li Yajun. It seemed that they had all passed by.
"I'll explain it to you guys later. I'll be there now."
"Oh, okay. Come here quickly!" Li Wenxi nodded.
After hanging up the video, Xu Xin thought about it and opened two glass windows in both rooms.
In this way, he could see what was going on inside the room, as well as the amount of electricity and coal remaining, even from outside the room.
Reduce the number of times he enters the power room. After all, one cannot inhale too much carbon monoxide in there. It is not a good idea to open the door every time to check, otherwise the gas will escape into the house.
Let it charge first. When he comes back, it should be fully charged. Then, you can try various electrical appliances!
