Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain!

Chapter 137.2

The modified spiritual energy pipes adopt a nested design.

Each pipe is nearly ten meters long, and there are about sixty pipes in total.

There is a pressure relief design on each pipeline, which can release the pressure of spiritual energy layer by layer.

In order to have an intuitive data expression for pressure relief, Xue Li also designed a pressure gauge very thoughtfully, which made Feng Shao dumbfounded.

Who said the ancients were stupid? People just lack some knowledge due to the limitations of the times. But as long as you give them a chance, they can design something that surprises you.

The pressure gauge designed by Xue Li is a bit rough, but it is original.

At least in this world where pressure gauges have never been invented, Xue Li’s design is considered extremely advanced.

After some debugging, Feng Shao couldn’t help giving Xue Li a thumbs up, and exclaimed, “Master Xue, you really have done it! You can even make such a good thing!”

Xue Li smugly smiled and said, “Hehe, you can underestimate anyone but you can’t underestimate this old Xue! With this old Xue’s skills, even the pavilion master would have been frightened back then!”

Now that the equipment is ready, the next step is to consider the problem of drilling.

The spiritual energy pipe is a full meter in diameter, so the drilled hole has to be a meter wide.

Feng Shao has no experience in mining, and his original plan was to take one step at a time and modify the next action according to the situation.

But Xue Li patted his chest and said, “Leave this kind of thing to this old Xue! It’s just a drill, how difficult can it be?”

Feng Shao hastily said, “Master Xue, this matter can’t be sloppy. If you accidentally leak the natural spiritual energy, the consequences will be disastrous!”

Xue Li squatted down directly, picked up a branch, and said while drawing on the ground, “Young master, your plan is nothing more than to drill a hole that can go straight to the ground one mile deep.

The principle should be similar to digging a well. But the deeper the well is dug, the harder it is to dig below. Generally speaking, a well can be dug a dozen feet to reach the sky, but the hole you want to dig is ten times that deep, so we have to think differently.”

Xue Li continued talking while drawing, “Look, the underground after ten feet or so is basically rock, and it cannot be dug with ordinary methods. But we are cultivators, and we cultivators have our own methods. My idea is to make a drill first but leave some holes in the drill so that the broken stones can be transported out through the holes. However, if the drill is to be manipulated, I am afraid it must be made into a magical item. You wait for me and give me some time, I can make this drill for you in two days!”

Feng Shao looked at the drill pattern that Xue Li had drawn, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Isn’t this the simple drill-bit version of the shield machine! Although the shape is much simpler than the real shield machine, the principle is the same.

With the drill bit designed by Xue Li, it might be impossible to dig a subway tunnel, but it is really not difficult to drill a hole five hundred meters deep!

Feng Shao couldn’t help but fall into deep self-doubt.

Although he never dared to underestimate the natives of this world, he, who has experienced the high-tech life in his previous world, always has a sense of superiority in his mind and feels that he has some knowledge that people in this world do not understand at all.

But now, he realizes that his advantage may only be his knowledge.

But in terms of professional capability, it is completely inferior to the indigenous residents who really study hard.

It seems that he has to correct my mentality, and he can never underestimate the people in this world!

After some more discussions, the two initially determined the style and usage of the drill.

Feng Shao has to admit that some methods of cultivator are much easier than conventional methods.

It took several years to study a shield machine in reality, and countless researchers forgot to sleep and eat, and only then did they make a shield machine that is well-known at home and abroad.

Looking at it again, it was just a simple sketch that determined the prototype of the magical item similar to the shield machine.

After this magical item is made, it will have the ability to store space and can store the broken rocks.

The sawtooth is reinforced with special materials, and the magic circle is added with a sharpness enchantment, making it easier to cut rocks.

This magical item can also be embedded with spirit stones to keep it running.

As for the control, any cultivator in the Gold Core realm can easily do it, and the threshold for technical ability is extremely low.

However, after the design was completed, Xue Li said with emotion, “Tool-like magical items have been designed before, and they can still be used as a weapon to a greater or lesser extent. The worst kinds can also be used to hit people. But magical item specifically used for excavating and burrowing, this is really the first time for this old Xue!”

Hearing this, Feng Shao nodded thoughtfully, “Perhaps in the future, we will need to create more magical items of this type.”

Feng Shao understood why this world has not yet developed comprehensive technology even though there are so many convenient conditions. Maybe it’s because cultivators pay too much attention to the means of killing and ignore the role and convenience of tools in daily life!
