--- Chapter 28 ---
"Let's start this."
Huo Yuhao looked around the workshop and grasped the space he had inside this place. The blacksmith workshop wasn't too small, around 20 by 20 ft space and 10 ft height with feasible air ventilation.
He summoned Eas naturally and made a workbench with several modern cutting technologies. He wasn't dumb enough to start everything with his hand, where he could do alternatives like using Eas to create copies of the tool from his previous life.
17 Moon Monolith pieces of different sizes surrounded Huo Yuhao, shining with dim white light under the workshop's lighting. They have around the same grade and innate effect, besides the one Imoogi guarded, which is ten times bigger than others.
[Name: Moon Monolith(Core)]
[Type: Treasured Item]
[Grade: SS]
[Description: A monolith made of moon heart crystals, having an "extreme." gravitational pull on the area. And it could enrich the zone around it with moon essence, transforming barren land into a sacred land full of heavenly treasures after a "certain period" of time]
[Innate effect: Moon's Blessing, +20% Growth Speed]
[Do you want to fuse all Moon Monolith Pieces?] Evo suddenly stated.
[Yes/No]
"Oh, I didn't have to do it myself? Sure, fuse them into one."
[Fusing...]
Huo Yuhao watched white light escape his skin and fly to the Moon Monolith, causing a change from the inside. He felt a strong connection between them and heard a breaking glass noise. The gravitational pull becomes more intense inside the workshop, making the anvil near him crack like crackers.
The Moon Monolith turned into purple particles that hovered in the air and merged into one before Huo Yuhao's eyes. It shrank itself several times and became an orb with a beautiful blue light inside.
[Name: Moon Monolith]
[Type: Treasure]
[Grade: SS+]
[Description: A monolith made of moon heart crystals, having an "extreme." gravitational pull on the area. And it could enrich the zone around it with moon essence, transforming barren land into a sacred land full of heavenly treasures after a "certain period" of time]
[Innate Effect: Greater Moon's Blessing, +50% Growth Speed]
[Do you want to make a connection with the Moon Monolith?]
[Yes/No?]
"Yes." Huo Yuhao felt new knowledge rushing into his brain. He pricked his finger with a silver needle and dropped his blood onto the Moon Monolith, sensing the same connection as Eas.
"Environmental Growth Speed... The effective range is probably 10 kilometers radius. That's amazing because The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest doesn't cover that much. It has a weaker effect, but I can upgrade it later."
"As long as there was a moon in the sky, Moon Monolith would pull/attract the moon's essence to the world and enrich the land around it. It's more effective on the flat yet vast terrain without tall trees or mountains because the moonlight could shine better."
"Well, I have to find suitable land for that." Huo Yuhao looked around the workshop and picked some leftover pieces from Moon Monolith, feeding them to Eas. "Let's focus on something else first."
[Eas, Level 33]
He was surprised and said, "It leveled up 12 times? Well, the leftover pieces were S+ grade materials."
Huo Yuhao placed several rare minerals onto his workbench and purified them with Thundefire. After cutting them into several pieces and testing their conductivity with Spirit Energy, he left with two rare minerals from the abandoned mines.
[Deep Black Iron]
[Formed in the deep layer of the earth, it could withstand heat and is compatible with spirit energy. However, this mineral cannot contain the "spirit energy." for a long time]
[Geocentric Milk Crystal]
[A rare material that could store Spirit Energy without leaking it for a "long." period. Yet, it cannot directly absorb the energy in the environment, needing the help of vibration to break the process]
"It feels like White Room all over again." Huo Yuhao picked another mineral that could store electricity. "I've wanted to do this since I reincarnated into this world. What happened when the method of my previous life incorporated Spirit Energy?"
Huo Yuhao utilized the Geocentric Milk Crystal as the "main." core of this newly invented technology. After creating the shell with Deep Black Iron and several metal orbs made of conductive materials, he added bearings and assembled them into a black Rubik-like cube.
"The moment of the truth." Huo Yuhao added Thunderfire into the shell, heating it for several minutes. The Cube illuminated with complex red lines and triggered the metal orbs inside to tremble/move in their bearings. This movement becomes faster and faster each second, creating kinetic energy and intense vibration inside.
As the vibration broke the core's barrier, Spirit Energy began to be absorbed by the Geocentric Milk Crystal and contained inside gradually. This rapid process also led to a negative and a positive charge, creating a strong electric current.
Huo Yuhao proudly smiled because his first technology ever created in this world was working. He could feel the electricity charging out from the Cube's corner, enough to make his skin feel tickled.
He played around with the cube "Two in one. The Cube could absorb the spirit energy by heating it rapidly and generating electricity on the side. When the process is over, the spirit energy inside would get contained in the core and cause kinetic movement again."
"This Cube basically converted heat and kinetic energy into electricity. Hehe, This is not science fiction anymore. And, let's not call it the Cube. Hmm? What should I name it." Huo Yuhao stared at the black thing on his palm.
"Arc Reactor? Nope, Iron Man has it already."
"It's also a cube..."
"Uh... Geo-Reactor?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head slightly because Geocentric Milk Crystal was the "main." part of this work. "Yeah, that's good enough. G-Reactor for the short sounds cool enough."
"Anyway, Let's create some inventions from my previous world.."
...
...
A few hours later.
"That's enough testing for now. At least I know that my previous world's knowledge is not useless." Huo Yuhao stretches his fingers and unsummoned Eas back to his soul, noticing the scraps on the ground.
After burning the byproducts, Huo Yuhao walked out of the workshop and noticed the blacksmith was leaning on the coconut tree.
He looked around and saw Huo Yun'er playing with seawater on the beach. Qianye Ying'er made a sand castle with bright eyes because this was the most fun experience.
"Boo~!" Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared behind Qianye Ying'er, shocking her.
"Kyaa!" Qianye Ying'er dropped on the beach and looked up at Huo Yuhao with a pout. "Hmph, how could you tease me like that, Yuhao!"
"Well, you're too focused on the sand castle. There was no way I wasted that chance to tease you." He replied while rubbing his nose.
Huo Yun'er walked to them and asked, "How was it, Hao'er? Did you discover something?"
"Of course, witness my first creation. G-Reactor!" Huo Yuhao grinned and showed them the G-Reactor. "This thing could do so many things, but it mainly converts heat to electricity and allows spirit energy to get absorbed into it."
"Huh??"
They were confused and only grasped the simple explanation as if they were newborn chicks. Huo Yuhao can't blame his mom or Qianye Ying'er because this is the first time they encounter technology like this.
"Um, is this similar to Spirit Guidance Devices that the Sun and Moon Empire developed for years?" Qianye Ying'er asked with a frown.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and denied, "No, This is completely new because I invented it just now. Unless someone on the other side of this world possessed the same knowledge, they shouldn't be able to replicate it easily. This branch of knowledge should be called Spirit Engineering."
"Hao'er, what can this cube do?" Huo Yun'er curiously asked while staring at the G-Reactor.
"Watch this." A light bulb appeared on Huo Yuhao's hand. He added the base and connected it to the G-Reactor's corner, making bright light appear.
"W-Woah~!" Qianye Ying'er watched this like otherworldly sorcery. "It's a lamp!"
Huo Yun'er covered her mouth in disbelief because she couldn't feel any fire from the light bulb. Unlike oil lamps, this thing could shine even brighter.
'Look at their faces.' Huo Yuhao thought while shaking his head wryly. Huo Yun'er and Qianye Ying'er were already blown away by a simple light bulb. What would happen if he told them about his future project?
The blacksmith was awakened from his slumber and groaned painfully for a moment. Huo Yuhao placed the G-Reactor and Light Bulb back in the inventory.
"Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao asked naturally.
"It's painful as fuck!" The blacksmith suddenly cursed while rubbing his back.
"This is medicine for sore muscles." Huo Yuhao picked a potion and handed it to the blacksmith, watching the man drink it instantly.
This blacksmith is a guy with short unkempt black hair in his late twenties. He has a muscular build and thick veiny arms from smithing metal daily.
"Who are you, Kid?" He asked while placing the potion glass on the ground.
"My name is Yun Long, nice to meet you." Huo Yuhao replied with a smile.
