Chapter 274: Lives Up To Expectations
“Sorry, Xiao Xi, that… I used up all those powders just now!”
“Quiet!” Li Xi’er suddenly scolded, startling Commander He into a shudder!
He stood awkwardly to the side, at a loss, a bit scared and uncomfortable standing.
“Right, I know, hehe, Commander He, I need to trouble you to go grind and purify this Tungsten Ore into powder again!” Li Xi’er took out that piece of White Tungsten Ore from her bosom and handed it to him!
“What?”
Another piece? White Tungsten Ore?
“Hehe, I know what lubricant to add now, I remembered, we can make Tungsten Filament as fine as feathers, Commander He, don’t you want to know?”
Contrary to his expectations, Li Xi’er wasn’t angry and looked at him with a face full of joy!
“I do, of course I do, what exactly is it? Xiao Xi, can you tell me first?” Commander He was eager to learn!
“Graphite!”
“Graphite?”
“Yeah, I saw it, you have graphite here!”
“Where do I have any graphite?”
Commander He was completely baffled; if there was graphite, how come he didn’t know about it himself?
Li Xi’er quickly ran into the cave to the corner against the cliff face, rummaged through a pile of discarded stone blocks, picked up a black carbon-like stone, “Here, this is the graphite stone, so trouble you to grind it into fine powder too!”
“Are you sure…?”
Isn’t this carbon stone?
He had picked it up, tried smelting it, and it seemed useless, so he discarded it aside!
“If you want to know, how will you know without trying?”
Commander He was speechless; if only he hadn’t dumped it all at once earlier to show off how capable he was, wasn’t this just digging his own pit!
Seeing Xiao Xi’s unquestionable attitude, he grudgingly took the graphite stone and went to grind the powder!
Commander He worked outside in the wind and rain like an old ox pulling a millstone, while they stayed in the cave to avoid the rain!
This process took much longer than grinding the black Tungsten Stone earlier; this was self-inflicted, if he hadn’t dumped it all, he would only need to grind graphite powder, but could this White Tungsten Ore also be used for conductivity?
This reignited his interest; fortunately, if he hadn’t dumped it all earlier, there wouldn’t be this opportunity!
Thinking of this, he cheerfully worked even harder in the wind and rain!
From daytime to night, night to midnight, smelting and then testing, until the small generator could light up, until the crisp chirping of morning birds outside the cave finally rang out, someone stretched lazily, walked out of the cave, and took a deep breath with eyes closed!
“The rain stopped, it’s bright out, so tiring!”
Li Xi’er stretched her arms! Twisted her waist! Stretched her tendons!
That Commander He was still in the dark cave, curiously holding the generator studying it, watching its light bulb continuously shine!
Then Feng Qingcheng also came out of the cave, quietly watching her from behind as the wind blew up her beautiful hair and her fluttering clothing hem silhouette in a daze!
Sometimes he felt like all this was just a dream.
At this moment, he accidentally stepped on an iron sheet blown to the ground by the wind, and the piercing sound startled Li Xi’er.
Li Xi’er turned back, like an elf in the mountains, her smile like dazzling stars, lively and cute,
“Prince, if you don’t go get the generator back soon, I’m afraid he won’t give it to you!”
“That’s impossible, no one can take what belongs to this prince, this prince just lent it to him to admire for a bit, being able to feast his eyes is good fortune he accumulated in his previous life!”
Li Xi’er helplessly shook her head.
“Fine, fine, the prince decides!”
“Prince, I’ve made the generator, as agreed earlier, you’re using silver to exchange, you can’t go back on this!”
“Naturally!”
True to expectations, she completed it perfectly!
With his guarantee, she was now part of the wealthy, even in this unfamiliar Feng Lan City, she wouldn’t starve to death!
She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
“Are you this happy just from making the generator?”
“Of course!”
Feng Qingcheng felt a pang of sourness in his heart; was she happy to have silver, so she could quickly escape his Yu Qing Palace?
“Prince, you look like a giant panda!”
She pointed at his eyes.
“Hm?”
Feng Qingcheng chuckled, “Don’t talk about me first, there’s someone even more like one!”
“Hmph!”
“Hehe, Prince, Xiao Xi, are you two admiring the scenery?” An abrupt voice rang out, interrupting their conversation; it was Commander He holding the small generator walking out.
“Commander He!” Feng Qingcheng flicked his sleeve, regaining his seriousness!
“Sorry to interrupt, Prince! Xiao Xi, I have a question I want to consult you on!”
Li Xi’er raised an eyebrow, “Go ahead!”
“I want to know if you know methods for making superior weapons?”
Commander He’s face was stern, and when he said this, his eyes revealed obvious ruthless ferocity!
Li Xi’er was startled by the blazing hatred in his eyes, and Feng Qingcheng silently watched her, as if also expecting something…
She hesitated; of course she knew, Hua Linglong’s memories often flashed in her brain, scenes of killing without mercy made her sleepless, those innocent faces filled her with guilt and exhaustion.
She who had lived in the modern era deeply knew how important peace was to humanity!
She didn’t know Feng Jingdi’s specific ambitions, but as an emperor, if he had powerful weapon equipment, invincible in all battles God of War Senior Brother fighting, and with electricity economic development advancing rapidly, he would inevitably think of expansion, inevitably have ambitions to unify the world, then the land would be drenched in blood, could the people of Dongli Kingdom escape?
If not for making money to escape, she wouldn’t even want to invent electricity, but she also hoped so much that these good things could be used on the common people to ease their labors!
Li Xi’er shook her head and said: “This, sorry, I don’t have research in this area!”
Commander He looked disappointed, thought for a moment, and continued asking unwillingly: “Then do you think this Tungsten Ore can make powerful weapons?”
Li Xi’er firmly shook her head.
“Then can you research it with me?”
“Sorry, I temporarily have no time and no interest in this!”
Commander He’s face paled, reluctantly put down the generator, and walked into the cave, but she knew he certainly hadn’t given up…
Feng Qingcheng quietly watched their conversation, not knowing what he was thinking, and lightly sighed, “It’s dawn, after a hard night, let’s return to Yu Qing Palace first!”
“Good, God of War Senior Brother, don’t forget to give your junior brother silver, it’s a large sum!”
“Oh? How much is a large sum?”
“This much!”
She held up her fingers to show!
“Wow, Lion’s Mouth Opening, junior brother, have you gotten into the money pit or what!”
“Hey!”
