At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive.

Chapter 183 Mr. Han Ning, I want to...

Han Ning was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression changed slightly:

"Teacher Lu, do you want to secretly use Feiming to help us find a way to the outside world?"

"It's just an expectation. From Aktu's words, I analyzed that this Feiming is not an ordinary insect master. He dares to annex the insect master family privately, which shows that he secretly does not take the five ancestors in his eyes, and even... … He may have learned the Queen’s secret.”

Lu Xiuning's eyes flickered,

"Whether he knows it or not, we can use Aktu as a chess piece to obtain a lot of information from Feiming."

"With Aktu's help and protection, our college is likely to have a long period of safety, and we can use this to develop our soul beast cultivation and technological level."

As he spoke, he was quite emotional: "I have to say, as Master Taman said, this Vientiane Spiritual Silkworm may really be the sixth ancestor of the other five ancestor families. I really don't know where he got such a silkworm in the first place. A powerful spirit beast."

Although they are not insect masters, they still have a certain understanding of some of the rules of the insect master family. In order to avoid the emergence of a huge group of insect masters comparable to the ancestor family, the ancestor family does not allow insect masters to merge with each other. Once discovered, they will directly Genocide.

Han Ning nodded and agreed:

"I also thought of arranging Aktu as a chess piece next to Feiming, but...it will take three days for the Vientiane Silkworm to separate the first worm. I hope nothing will happen during these three days."

After imprisoning the three insect men in an underground secret room, Han Ning specially deployed a ghost bee to guard Aktu here to prevent accidents from happening.

…

The secret room is located underground in Building A. After leaving the underground secret room, the two walked out of the door of Building A side by side.

At this time, Dean Wu was leading Lyon and his daughter to walk in the open space in front of the building.

Several people pointed to the ground in front of the building and were saying something seriously.

Dean Wu caught a glimpse of Han Ning's arrival and quickly waved to them.

"Has the interrogation of that insect master finished?"

"Yes." Lu Xiuning briefly explained the interrogation process to Dean Wu.

Dean Wu nodded and did not talk more in front of Lyon and his daughter.

For these two people, it is not good to know too much information. Apart from causing unnecessary worries, it will not bring any benefits.

He coughed and changed the subject: "Mr. Lyon is not only an expert in nuclear power, but also has considerable experience in building other power stations. We were just talking about whether to build a small power station near the college."

"Power station?" Han Ning looked surprised. "I remember that building a power station requires certain geographical environment, isn't it? Is it a thermal power station?"

He thought for a while, and with the current capabilities of the college, it could only rely on diesel power generation. This method of power generation is considered the first type of thermal power generation. It actually uses burning fuel to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam, and then uses the steam to drive the turbine to rotate. This in turn drives the generator to generate electricity.

According to the report of the Boeing 737 crew, there are currently 20 tons of aviation fuel remaining in the aircraft.

Aviation fuel is kerosene, and using it to generate electricity requires certain technical improvements.

Due to the limitation of rotting food, the amount of crude oil produced by crude oil oakworms is not much.

In addition to thermal power generation, there is also solar power generation. There are also many photovoltaic panels in the college. However, the environment of the Insect Continent is shrouded in white fog all day long and the light is dim. As a result, the power generation of photovoltaic power generation has always been at a very low level and can basically be ignored.

Although Mr. Lyon is a nuclear engineer, Han Ning has never even thought about nuclear power generation.

There is no other reason. Building a nuclear power station is not an easy task even at the national level, let alone their small college with only a few hundred people.

Judging from the current conditions, building a small power station is probably too high.

"No...it's not thermal power generation, but geothermal power generation." Dean Wu shook his head and smiled, "Let Mr. Lyon explain it."

Leon spoke fluent English, looked around, and said with a slightly magnetic voice: "Let me first briefly introduce to you two why it is recommended to build a geothermal power station."

"Obviously, this area lacks abundant hydropower resources and is not an area subject to strong winds all year round, so hydropower and wind power generation are not feasible."

"I heard from Mr. Wu that there are large underground caves with abnormally high temperatures about a few hundred kilometers away from the north of the college, indicating that the geothermal resources there are very rich."

"Geothermal power generation is actually very similar to thermal power generation. Geothermal energy is renewable heat energy from deep underground. It originates from the decay of molten magma and radioactive materials. After the circulation of underground water deep and the magma from extremely deep intrusion into the earth's crust, Bringing heat from deep underground to near the surface.”

"Most of the geothermal energy exists at the edges of tectonic plates. We are only a few hundred kilometers away from there. A few hundred kilometers is just a very small distance for a huge continental plate. This shows that...including There is also a probability that there will be abundant geothermal energy in the ground where the college is located.”

Leon points to the ground,

"I just learned from Mr. Wu, and of course I have seen it with my own eyes, that some earth soul beasts can, like underground detectors, detect conditions thousands of meters deep on the ground where we are, effortlessly. This pair It is very important for us to build geothermal power plants.”

"With earth-type soul beasts that can freely enter and exit the ground, we can dig relatively stable passages leading to the depths of the heat source without resorting to bulky and huge mechanical equipment."

“Compared to wind power and water power, is geothermal power generation closer to us?”

Han Ning nodded and continued to ask: "Assuming that there is abundant geothermal energy underground in the college, would it be difficult to build a geothermal power station?"

Leon smiled slightly:

“You may not think that geothermal power generation is a new way of generating electricity, but as early as 1904, Blue Star used geothermal energy to drive a small 0.75-horsepower generator into operation for the first time and provided five 100-watt electric lamps for lighting. The first 500-kilowatt small geothermal power station was built.”

"Geothermal steam power generation system is already a very mature technology. Of course, the reason why geothermal power generation has not become mainstream is because it has many limitations."

"Not all countries have abundant geothermal resources. Taking your country of Xia as an example, the area with excellent geothermal resources is limited to Tibet. Other places with large populations are mostly medium-low geothermal areas below 150°C."

"In addition, the research and development costs for the instruments required to explore geothermal resources are also very large. Compared with other resources that are easily available, geothermal power generation is more demanding."

"But it's not difficult for those who have magical soul beasts. As long as we ensure that the underground temperature is sufficient, we can start the development of geothermal power stations."

As expected of an expert in energy, Lyon talked eloquently, which moved Han Ning quite a lot.

"So...our first step is to find out where the geothermal energy is abundant, and then make plans to build a geothermal power station nearby?"

"That's probably it." Leon's tone suddenly changed, "I'm not particularly familiar with geothermal power generation. I only learned about it during my internship at the university and when checking some relevant literature. If you want to build a power station of a certain scale, you need other People’s help, you are an engineering college, there should be no shortage of teachers and students with energy machinery background?”

"Yes." Dean Wu nodded slightly, "Mr. Lyon, I will assign you a computer later and some equipment design drawings of the power station. You can try to design it first. If you have any other requirements, just ask us."

Leon put his arms around his daughter's shoulders and said, "I want Lisa to be my assistant. In addition, we are also very interested in cultivating soul beasts. Can you please ask a few teachers who are proficient in soul beast cultivation to teach us after work? How to raise a soul beast?”

Leon smiled: "You should understand that the teacher I want is different from those ordinary people."

Speaking of the soul beast, Lisa, who had been silent all this time, suddenly blinked her bright sapphire eyes and looked up and down at the elegant Yin Yi next to Han Ning, with a very interested look in her eyes.

"No problem, Mr. Lyon, as long as you can help the college build the first power station, we will try to give you the best treatment."

As the saying goes, gold can shine wherever it goes. If Lyon can really preside over the construction of a power station, it will be a huge technological breakthrough for the college.

With a stable source of electric energy, various industrial raw materials can be produced, and some high-power military weapons can also be tried to be produced.

As for soul beasts, sufficient electric energy can cultivate a large number of electric cannon bugs, and a stable supply of electric energy can simulate a constant temperature and humidity environment for cultivating soul beasts.

"Speaking of soul beasts..." Han Ning looked at Lyon and his daughter up and down, and asked curiously: "You two, why haven't you signed a contract with the soul beast yet?"

Currently, there are several types of soul beasts in the academy that new members can sign contracts with: anemone tree, wisteria tree, iron-toothed snake, mango treasure magic eye frog...

The wisteria tree is the grumpy little tree spirit that was found outside the east gate of the college.

Iron-toothed snakes and devil-eyed frogs are some of the soul beast cubs that everyone found in the academy, collected them, and tried to cultivate them.

The Purple Star Snake and the Copper Feathered Falcon are E-qualified soul beasts and are reserved for members who have contributed.

There are more than 10 awakening-level tree spirits and tree demons stationed in the dormitory area for a long time. Their purification range can cover almost the entire dormitory area. Therefore, as long as the non-wood soul beasts are cultivated to a certain level in the dormitory area, those first Even a soul beast that is not a wood-type beast master can overcome the toxins of the mist.

"Mr. Han Ning, I want... to find an elegant soul beast like it." Lisa couldn't help but say while looking at the magnificent silver ripples above her head that looked like a crown of frost.
