Chapter 285 Generator and battery, power system!
In addition to these electric protective nets, there are also some electrical appliances related to life.
[Electric lamp (green): It can emit weak yellow light and illuminate 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 blocks (green)*10, copper blocks (green)*2]
[Range hood (green): An appliance that extracts oil smoke and discharges it out of the tree house. A must-have appliance in the kitchen! Requires iron blocks (green)*10, copper blocks (green)*2]
[Electric water pump (green): Connect to the water source. It can automatically draw water after being powered on. It needs to be connected to the pipeline for use. Requires iron blocks (green)*5, copper blocks (green)*2]
[Electric water heater (green): It can heat water and can be used for showering. It needs to be connected to a pipe for use. Requires iron blocks (green)*5, copper blocks (green)*2]
[Pipe (green): The pipe connected to the water pump, which can withstand water with a temperature of 0-100 degrees. Pipe*1m requires iron block (green)*1】
This can, this really can!
With these, his tree house truly 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 previously felt that the function of his own bathroom was too crude, and he had to go down to get water by himself every time, and the larger ones were usually handled outside. And there is no water heater. When the weather was hot before, the water temperature was quite suitable. Now it is so cold that I have to boil water myself every time I take a shower.
It's too much trouble and a waste of time, and it's not safe to go out and fix the problem.
And now, you can use an electric water pump to draw water!
The power system must be set up.
This time it’s really going to be a major makeover from the inside out! The most important thing is that these appliances do not require a lot of copper blocks. They require the largest number of power grids and pipes. Instead, they do not require copper!
These copper blocks in his hand can meet the needs of many people!
Just do it.
The first is the generator.
Since he has coal mines in his hands, it is naturally impossible for him to use a hand-operated generator.
However, the description of the coal generator says that it will produce exhaust gas, heat and noise, so it is best not to place the coal generator inside the tree house.
Xu Xin thought for a while and felt that it would not be appropriate to leave it outside.
It is not safe outside the tree house. Even if the surroundings are guarded by plant hearts, there will still be factors that he cannot predict, such as natural disasters and monsters. It is really inappropriate to put something like a generator that provides electrical energy outside the tree house. .
You must know that the three major elements of the doomsday fortress, food, energy, and weapons, must be inside the fortress. Once attacked, you can defend the fortress. As long as the fortress remains intact, there will be no big losses.
Therefore, things like generators still need to be placed inside the tree house.
But exhaust gas, heat and noise...
Xu Xin thought about his newly expanded space on the first and second floors.
Those spaces are completely separated from the three-story living area and four-story planting area where he lives, and they are far away, so there is no need to worry about affecting each other.
I chose the new space of the tree house on the second floor! It just so happens that the second floor is also home to various workstations, and it really has a factory atmosphere.
Moreover, there is no third floor above the new second floor, which is more convenient for exhaust gas emissions. After all, exhaust outlets can be opened on it.
Xu Xin immediately went down to the second floor and opened the door to the new space.
This new space of 100 square meters seems to be a little larger than when we came before.
According to the introduction of the banyan tree, the crown of this banyan tree will continue to grow!
However, a problem arises.
As the banyan tree continues to grow, will the locations of items placed in the treehouse change?
Xu Xin observed carefully, and through the texture of the floor and walls, he came to a conclusion: the formed floor will not change, it will not stretch as a whole, but will continue to grow and expand from the edges.
In other words, if he now places a coal generator next to the window and wants to use the window for exhaust emissions, as the banyan tree grows, the position of the generator will not change, but the window will become farther and farther away from the generator!
Hmm...a little troublesome.
He can open an opening in the ceiling for exhaust, but this involves problems such as rainwater...
Let's do this first. Anyway, the growth rate of this tree house is not very fast. It seems that it may not grow more than a few centimeters in a day. It will just be adjusted later.
After making the decision, Xu Xin immediately made a coal generator.
[Please select a placement location. 】
He directly chose the edge of the two-story tree house, near the window for exhaust, which was the furthest away from his living area.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and a coal generator three meters wide and one meter high appeared at the window.
Xu Xin stepped 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 away, revealing a furnace-like combustion chamber.
All it seems is to put coal in it.
Xu Xin didn't throw coal directly into it. He hadn't connected the wires and battery. Starting it would just be a waste of coal.
He thought about it and built several more walls around it to enclose the entire coal generator in a small room. Otherwise, the exhaust gas generated during power generation would be all over the house. In this case, there would be no problem if there was only one exhaust outlet through the window. .
This small room is called the power generation room.
Next is the battery. With the battery, the generator can generate electricity and store electricity.
He immediately made and marked out an area as a 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. It just stands on the ground.
There was a small screen on the surface of the cylinder, which was dark. Xu Xin clicked and the screen lit up.
【Remaining battery: 0%】
Although there is no power, it can still light up. It should be similar to the principle of the treehouse screen and those workbenches. It is the energy provided by the treehouse.
The next step is to connect the battery and generator.
However, how should this wire be placed? There is no insulating rubber or something. If you accidentally touch this thing, won't you get an electric shock?
He immediately returned to the production room and tentatively made a ten-meter wire using a copper block (green).
【Wire path 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 wall or floor of the tree house?
Xu Xin tried to control the screen, connected the wires to the generator, and directly connected them to the battery in another room along the floor of the tree house.
[The wire path is set up. 】
Xu Xin immediately ran to see the generator and found that there were no traces on the path where he had installed the wires.
Sure enough, the wires were automatically buried in the treehouse walls.
This is more comfortable and saves messy 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, the number lit up on the small round iron door: 7/200. Then, the generator began to roar and began to operate, and the entire generator began to tremble.
He did throw seven coals into it just now. It seems that the coal generator should be able to throw in up to two hundred coals.
However, the sound is indeed quite loud, but it should not affect his living area.
Xu Xin went to the next door again. The battery screen had automatically lit up and the words "Charging" were displayed. The battery level was still 0%.
Then it jumped to 1% under Xu Xin’s nose.
"The power generation speed of this coal generator is not very fast." Xu Xin said to himself.
But that's right, this battery can store a total of five kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is still a lot of energy.
Under normal circumstances, a family consumes about 5-10 kilowatt hours of electricity a day. When using refrigerators, water heaters, refrigerators, desktop computers and other power-consuming appliances, the daily electricity consumption is only about 10 kilowatt hours.
Looking at the charging speed, this battery should be fully charged in about an hour.
Pretty good charging efficiency.
However, only five kilowatt hours of electricity is still too little, and energy needs to be reserved.
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 respectively.
He now has twelve blue-level copper blocks in his hand, and he can definitely use one.
Power storage is very necessary. According to the instructions that the power grid and power trap must be connected to the battery, both the power grid and the power trap require a large amount of stored power to support.
Xu Xin immediately made a piece without hesitation.
[Battery (blue): Advanced battery, used to store excess power from the generator, with a maximum capacity of 180,000 kilojoules. 】
Good guy, added a 0!
50 kilowatt-hour electricity reserve!
This is so comfortable!
Xu Xin put it into the battery room, placed it side by side with the green-level battery, and connected them with wires.
His coal generator immediately began charging both batteries together.
Xu Xin went to the power generation room again and filled the coal generator with coal.
"Buzz!" The coal generator roared.
Then, gas begins to be produced. Although there was no color or color, Xu Xin could already smell the smell in the air.
Is this... a gas smell?
Coal gas is actually carbon monoxide, which is a product of incomplete combustion of carbon. Inhaling too much can be poisonous.
Unexpectedly, this generator can actually produce gas...
By the way, can this thing be collected and used? After all, it can be used for cooking, and it can also be compressed, burned and exploded. It has many uses.
At this time, his watch vibrated. It was a video call from Li Wenxi.
After Xu Xin got through, she saw a table full of sumptuous dishes.
"Come on, we are all ready!" Li Wenxi pointed the camera at the table, "Look, there are so many... Wow, what is that behind you!"
Before she could finish her words, the coal generator behind Xu Xin was trembling slightly and making a sound.
Xu Xin exited the power generation room, closed the door, and then smiled and said: "Coal generator, I can generate electricity now."
"Huh? Generate electricity?" Lou Feier, who was standing aside, immediately put her head over, "Where can I find a generator?"
Xu Xin also heard the exclamations of Le Youfang and Li Yajun. It seemed that they had already passed.
"I'll explain it to you in the past. I'll go over now."
"Oh, okay, come here quickly!" Li Wenxi nodded.
After hanging up the video, Xu Xin thought for a while and opened two glass windows for both rooms.
In this way, he can see the scene inside, as well as the remaining power and coal amount even from outside the room.
Reduce the number of times he enters the power generation room. After all, the carbon monoxide inside cannot be inhaled. It is not good to open the door every time to see it. The gas will escape into the house.
Let's charge it first. When he comes back, the battery should be relatively sufficient. Then, you can try various electrical appliances! (End of chapter)
