Vol 2 Chapter 46: Dawn of Line 1

After a short period of warmth, as the refining furnace ceased to run, the two began to get busy again. Fuel cells can support up to 12 hours, so this time should be fully utilized.
With the refining furnace, the supply speed of various materials has greatly increased, and Chu Jungui began to consider how to solve the energy supply problem that has become a bottleneck.
Usually the most common practice is to use biomass or chemical energy to generate electricity, such as building a diesel generator or something. But on the fourth planet, Chu Jun has not found a similar energy source.
Although there are plants and wood here, these trees only look like wood, but they are not flammable. And the planet's oxygen content is pitifully low, and there is no way to burn in the conventional sense.
However, it can be replaced by other oxidants, such as chlorine, without oxygen. The content of chlorine in Planet Four is extremely high, and analysis of known alien beast organs shows that they seem to rely on chlorine as an oxidant to provide energy for the body.
If living things depend on chlorine, how do plants get energy?
Chu Jungui looked at the huge curved leaves in the distant forest, thoughtfully, and felt as if he had caught something.
The subject's luck was good. At this time, a very fierce ion storm suddenly appeared in the sky, a stone pillar of mine struck from the sky, and there were thousands of thunderballs around it.
The thunder pillars straight down and slashed directly on the forest, and the thunder also fell one after another and smashed into the forest one by one.
If it is on the human mother star, it will cause a forest fire, but on planet four, a miracle-like scene appears in front of Chu Jungui.
The entire forest sucked in the thunderbolt like a sponge, and each tree glowed slightly. The same was true of those thunderballs, all of which were absorbed by the tips of the leaves straight towards the sky. So the whole forest glowed hazy, like a fantasy world.
Lin Xi also saw this scene, and when shocked, she suddenly said, "Look at the leaves, like the receiving antenna?"
Chu Jungui was reminded by her, a little stunned, and said, "You mean ..."
"All the trees in the entire forest are connected together underground, that is, this forest is like a huge battery that can absorb the lightning energy overflowing from the sky. In normal times, these trees rely on absorbing various types of ion storm layers. Radiation and electromagnetic waves make a living. "
Speaking, Lin Xi kicked the purple grass and said, "It's not just trees, maybe these grasses are the same."
Chu Jungui lowered his head and pulled up a grass, and looked carefully. The grass has purple leaves that open at the top and look like petals. But from another perspective, it can be said to be an open receiving antenna.
The grass has a finger-sized tuber that looks very fat, and its roots are so long that even if they are broken when pulled out, there are dozens of centimeters left. And on the remaining roots, there are obviously roots of other grasses entangled. This also shows that the grass is also connected underground.
Looking at the grass at the foot and the forest in the distance, I think that these seemingly independent individuals are actually connected together underground. For some reason, Chu Jun feels uncomfortable returning to the unknown.
As soon as Chu Jun groaned, he created two more wooden tables, which doubled the working area outside the cockpit. Then he built another organic matter detector, which was discharged side by side with the original one, so that the power line could be shorter.
With two organic matter detectors, the analysis speed can be doubled. Chu Jungui found that the creatures on this planet have hidden many secrets, and revealing these secrets may be the key to survival on this planet. Just like analyzing the blood and muscles of the alien beast, Chu Jungui has a stable supply of bullets and construction materials.
The organic matter tester was very easy to build, and a new tester was put into operation a few moments later. This time Chu Jun returned to the trunk of the double-leaf tree he had always ignored.
Unexpectedly, the analysis of the trunk material was extremely slow, taking more than three hours. Chu Jungui had no choice but to wait patiently.
At this time, another analysis of the internal organs of the other animal had results. This is a fist-sized globular gland in the body of the other animal. It was only because it grew near the brain that Chu Jungui noticed it and checked it.
After Chu Jungui entered the test report into the chip, he obtained the potential processing direction and use of this glandular content. The most important one is to replace the polymer battery content.
Polymer batteries are the most common low-cost batteries in the 35th century, and their popularity is similar to that of lithium batteries in the mother star era. Most importantly, it can provide a crucial transition product before Chu Jungui finds a stable long-term energy source.
Chu Jungui immediately stopped other work on the chip and devoted himself to designing new polymer batteries based on this. This task is not difficult, the chip gives the design solution in just 15 seconds. This is actually because the glandular fluid itself is a near-perfect battery material, so it takes more time to manufacture the chip to design the battery case.
The design of the polymer battery case is also learned. It should be easy to stack, seamlessly interconnected, and elegant, and it is best to have a special postmodern design ...
Chu Jungui interrupted the increasing aesthetic needs of the chip, and chose the simplest case that can be directly stacked together, then formed a design plan and entered it into the workbench.
In the process of producing the first polymer battery, Chu Jungui told Lin Xi of the new plan. The two started working together to move all the nearby beasts and then dissect the glands.
Because the function of this gland is to generate electricity ~ EbookFREE.me ~ to provide power for the alien beast, Lin Xi named it the thunder gland.
In addition to alien beasts, lizards and echinobacks also have thunder glands, varying in size.
The thunder glands on these beasts are generally small, and about ten thunder glands are enough to produce a polymer battery. Although Lin Xi was a little disappointed, dozens of batteries were better than none.
When the first polymer battery was produced, Chu Jun returned to the cockpit to clear an open space and connected it to the cockpit's overall power supply network. After connecting the battery, the personal terminal updated the power supply data at the first time. The final data showed that the battery output power was 20kw and the continuous power supply time was 48 hours.
Chu Jungui was pleased. This data far exceeded his expectations. It seems that the use of electricity by the creatures on planet 4 has reached a very high level, but Chu Jungui is cheap.
Although the individual thunder glands have limited body fluids, the beasts seem to be endless. At least two people have enough stock on hand to make 30 fusion batteries.
Once the energy bottleneck is broken, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi's future will have a first-line dawn.
