Silver King and Mimi were still collecting vine juice on the first floor, and they hadn't finished collecting it yet.
He came to the third floor of the tree house.
Coco had fallen asleep on the sofa. Xu Xin touched Coco's head, and it just cried softly, waggled its big tail, and then went back to sleep.
Xu Xin picked it up, but it didn't wake up. It just buried its head in Xu Xin's arms and continued to sleep in a daze.
This little guy has been becoming more and more sleepy recently.
You know, in the past, when it was time for dinner, it would be the first one to come and urge for dinner. But now it has long passed lunchtime and it is already two o'clock in the afternoon, but it is still sleeping soundly and can't even take time to eat.
"Forget it, I won't take it with me. I'll bring some for it when I come back."
Xu Xin put it back on the soft sofa, turned around and swung down from the tree house.
Arriving at the coordinates, he activated the portal, and as the world spun around, he finally arrived at Li Wenxi's tree house.
Just as he walked under the tree house, a root of the tree house suddenly rolled towards him above his head.
Xu Xin dodged subconsciously, and heard Li Wenxi's voice from above: "Why are you hiding?"
"It's a conditioned reflex." Xu Xin shrugged.
The roots rolled towards him again, and this time he did not dodge, allowing the roots to pull him up.
Li Wenxi directly pulled him into the third floor of the tree house.
As soon as he came in, he smelled the fragrance of food.
This fragrance seems a little different from usual.
In addition to Li Wenxi, Li Yajun, Le Youfang and Lou Feier, Qi Xuefei was also there. They were all sitting around the table, not picking up their chopsticks, waiting for Xu Xin to arrive and start eating together.
"Dinner is ready!" Li Wenxi pulled Xu Xin to sit next to her.
"You're finally here. I've been doing physical work for the whole morning and I'm starving!" When Lou Feier saw Xu Xin coming, she immediately picked up the chopsticks with her eyes shining.
Qi Xuefei and Li Yajun also nodded to him.
"Hello, Brother Xin!" Le Youfang greeted Xu Xin, and he sat on the other side of Xu Xin.
Before Xu Xin came, he was the only man at the table. The others were all women, all of whom he had just met today. This made him feel very restrained. He only felt relieved when he saw Xu Xin coming.
"How is it? Are you adapting well after just arriving here?" Xu Xin greeted casually.
"I've adapted very well!" Le Youfang seemed to be in high spirits. It seemed that he was fed up with surviving on his own. "I feel full of energy when I'm mining!"
"That's good. Why didn't you ask Ji Chaoyang to come over?" Xu Xin found that, except for Ji Chaoyang, almost everyone on his side was already present at the table.
Oh, and there is also Ma Hongwei who is in a weak period.
"I looked for him, and he said he had already eaten, and now he is out exploring, so it is inconvenient for him to come back, so he won't come." Li Wenxi explained, and then picked up a piece of food for Xu Xin, "Hurry and try the food I made!"
Xu Xin put the piece of meat that Li Wenxi picked for him into his mouth and chewed it twice.
Seeing Xu Xin picking up his chopsticks, Lou Feier started eating immediately, and the others also started eating.
Um
This taste...
"Hehe, not bad!" Li Wenxi raised his head.
"This tastes really good. Did you add anything else besides salt?" Xu Xin was a little surprised. He hadn't tasted this taste for a long time. It seemed to be the taste of pepper
"You can taste it, too." Li Wenxi nodded, "It is indeed there."
"I gave her some black pepper." Qi Xuefei said, "Black pepper is also a medicinal herb. It warms the stomach, removes cold and dampness, nausea, bloating, cold accumulation, removes toxins, and eliminates toothache. I have been planting it before, but I just realized in the past two days that it can also be used as a seasoning."
Is there such a thing? Xu Xin was stunned for a moment.
"Sister Xuefei has more than just this kind of seasoning. I thought it looked familiar when I saw it before. Today, I asked her casually and found out that she has grown ginger, pepper, cardamom, star anise and the like."
Is this true or false?!
Xu Xin immediately turned his head and looked at Qi Xuefei.
Qi Xuefei was a little embarrassed: "I don't cook on Earth, so I don't care much about these things. I only remembered them today because Wen Xi reminded me. These seasonings actually evolved from medicines, so I can grow them."
It's actually true! Doesn't that mean that only she can grow these spices quickly
Except for Qi Xuefei, no one else can obtain the special medicinal seeds of this world. Even if they want to plant them, just like on Earth, the harvest will only start after a few years of planting.
They don't even know if they can survive in this world for a long time, so there's absolutely no point in planting this.
But Qi Xuefei can quickly produce these seasonings through her medicinal material cultivation room!
Finally, he could enjoy a feast! He was almost vomiting from eating meat sprinkled with only salt!
"Sister Xuefei, can you produce these things in large quantities?" Xu Xin asked Qi Xuefei.
He wanted to trade with District 187 through Lou Feier's tree house and plunder all their supplies here.
In addition to salt, spices are also very good trading items.
"Well, not at the moment. We can only supply explorers." Qi Xuefei shook her head and said, "If there are more people in the future, maybe we can give it a try."
It’s not bad. After all, in addition to the 187 districts, there are nearly 200 districts, which will always come in handy in the future.
Although it is not known how many people are left in those areas, and it is very likely that some areas have been wiped out in the defense battle.
"It's because we got the seasoning that we made this feast." Li Wenxi laughed, "How's it? Not bad, a long-lost delicacy!"
"It's been a long time, um, this dish tastes good!"
"I made that!" Lou Feier looked up immediately, with a trace of oil on her lips, which showed how much she ate.
"Fei'er is a great cook, much better than me." Li Wenxi agreed, "In fact, I only made that one dish, the others were made by Fei'er."
Wow, so strong
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that Lou Feier is a cook. She put all the decorations on the kitchen.
"It tastes good. From now on, I'll let you cook for everyone." Xu Xin knew that his cooking skills were not very good, so he appointed Lou Feier as the chef on the spot.
In fact, Wang Lei also added amplification points to the kitchen, but it’s okay for him to handle the high-end materials, but you can’t let him cook for the people here.
But Lou Feier was different. She was one of our own and a prisoner, so she could use him at will.
"Okay, no problem." Lou Feier did not refuse, nor did she find it troublesome. She thought cooking was a very interesting thing. "It just so happens that everyone over there has also increased the decoration level in the kitchen. But you can let me cook, but I won't wash dishes!"
She is the kind of person who would rather spend three hours cooking than three minutes washing dishes.
"You can let Ma Hongwei wash it. Aren't you his big sister?"
“Good idea!”
"Hey, can we all eat Fei'er's cooking in the future?" Li Wenxi was also a little happy. "That's great. I will go to your place to eat for free in the future!"
"Am I...am I one too?" Le Youfang asked in a low voice to Li Yajun beside him.
"I think so..." Li Yajun couldn't get a word in and could only chat with Le Youfang in a low voice.
“Sister Fei’er cooks for me? Magic…” Le Youfang thought of Lou Fei’er, who threatened him with a dagger and knocked him out without saying a word, and shuddered.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Qi Xuefei interrupted them helplessly, "Don't you want to know about Xu Xin's matter regarding the generator?"
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot!" Li Wenxi, Lou Feier and others all looked at Xu Xin.
While eating, Xu Xin told them everything about the electrical appliances.
"Electric grid, trap..." Qi Xuefei became more and more surprised the more she listened.
"Water pump! Electric water heater!" Li Wenxi was surprised. "I can finally have a decent bathroom!"
"Electric stove and range hood!" Lou Feier's eyes lit up, "Can the temperature be controlled?"
As for Le Youfang and Li Yajun, they were so shocked by what Xu Xin said that they were speechless.
Especially Le Youfang, who had just arrived here and had just come into contact with a lot of things that were completely unavailable on his side. Xu Xin gave him another big blow, which completely stunned him.
He even doubted whether he and these people had lived on the same planet before
This is too outrageous! The gap is too big!
Soon, the meal was over. Xu Xin was the first to stand up and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. Lou Feier, you continue to help Wen Xi here."
"Okay." Lou Feier nodded obediently.
"I'll go back and study the appliances and let you know what's going on."
"Are those copper mines enough?" Li Wenxi was a little worried. With only more than 200 pieces of copper mines, it seemed that it would not be enough for too many people. "If it's not enough, you can keep it for yourself."
"Don't worry, it should be enough."
Even if it's not enough, it doesn't matter. At least we can build the power grid first. The power grid itself does not consume copper blocks, it just needs to be connected to a generator. Even if everyone is equipped with one, it will not consume much copper blocks.
The living kit is not a necessity, so you can just not make it for now.
Back in his tree house, Coco, who had woken up from hunger, started to sob around him.
He stuffed the packed vegetables and meat into Coco's hands and went to the second floor of the tree house.
In the power room, the coal generator is still running, and the remaining coal has changed from (200/200) to (177/200).
Looking at the battery room again, the battery (green) is fully charged, while the battery (blue) shows 36%.
Based on its capacity of 50 kWh, 36% is 18 kWh.
5 kWh of electricity plus 18 kWh of electricity is a total of 23 kWh of electricity, which is the same as the amount of coal consumed. It seems that coal is also very strong. One piece of coal (green) can provide 1 kWh of electricity!
However, this speed seemed to be much faster than he had previously estimated.
He had previously calculated that it would take an hour to fully charge five kWh of electricity, but now it seems that just by going out for a meal, in less than an hour, 23 kWh of electricity was charged.
After thinking about it, Xu Xin understood.
The more coal there is in a coal generator, the higher the efficiency! Before, he only threw seven pieces in, so the power generation efficiency was low.
Xu Xin took a deep breath, held his breath, opened the door and entered the power room, and filled the capacity of the coal generator again.
"Buzz!" Sure enough, the coal generator made an even louder roar.
Just like last time. It seems to be true.
Xu Xin left the power generation room and decided to try making a high-voltage iron wire grid first.
Each high-voltage iron wire grid requires two green-grade iron blocks. Xu Xin immediately asked Li Wenxi for some, and then produced one to see.
"Bang!" A high-voltage iron wire grid hit the ground.
It was similar to the high-voltage power grid he had imagined, a net made of fine iron wires, about three meters high, with messy iron wires on top to prevent people from climbing over the wall.
However, this barbed wire is only one meter long.
"So short." Xu Xin was speechless.
He calculated that if he wanted to enclose the area within a radius of 100 meters, the circumference of a circle with a radius of 100 meters would be more than 600 meters, and he would need 600 such nets, which means he would need 1,200 green-level iron blocks.
And other electrical appliances also require iron blocks.
A bit much...
It would be fine if it was just him, but if all the explorers were like this, Li Wenxi would definitely not be able to afford it.
Um…
It would be better to just surround the fifty-meter radius around the tree house. Fifty meters is the range where he can still plant. The remaining area is the attack range he leaves for the plant heart.
If any fish slip through the net like in the last defense battle, the barbed wire will come in handy.
After all, the power grid consumes electricity, so it is better to consume less electricity if possible. It is also a good way to plug the leak.
However, for a survivor without a plant heart, this electric grid is much more useful than in his hands.
Let’s go down and try out the function of this power grid first.
