I am farming in the real world

Chen Jue wasn't too surprised by the discovery of [Silver Ore].

After all, Jiangxi Province has been a major silver producing area in China since ancient times. Silver mines like the Wannian Silver Mine and Guixi Silver Mine rank among the top ten largest silver mines in the country in terms of reserves and production.

Even the 'Silver Mountain' mentioned in the phrase 'Gold Mountain, Silver Mountain' originally came from the Yinshan Silver Mine in Dexing City, which was mined as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

It would be strange not to discover [Silver Ore] when digging a tunnel underground in a province full of silver mineral deposits like this.

What surprised Chen Jue the most was the appearance of [Lepidolite] and the subtitles the MC system provided for it.

"Redstone in MC, the substitute is actually the metal element lithium?"

Chen Jue opened his mouth, and his mind recalled the new energy vehicles running all over the streets.

Since going bankrupt two years ago, and being penniless, he hadn't paid much attention to big-ticket items like cars for a long time.

But seeing his relatives, friends, and villagers in Chen Village changing to new energy vehicles every New Year and holidays, Chen Jue still knew something about it.

Ternary lithium, lithium iron phosphate, and even solid-state lithium batteries that are rumored to be about to be launched.

He never thought that the element lithium could have some commonality with Redstone in MC.

"Simultaneously taking into account the characteristics of conductivity and energy storage, it seems that it's not just lithium. Palladium, which Iron Man inserts into his chest, or any material that can be used to make batteries, may become a substitute for Redstone."

"Wait a minute… can only inherit some characteristics, that is to say, it can be made into a castrated version of Redstone?" Chen Jue picked up the [Lepidolite] in his hand and analyzed it, his eyes gleaming.

Because [Redstone] in MC is a very heaven-defying game mineral material.

It not only has the characteristics of storing energy and releasing Redstone energy, but also has the function of transmitting signals like optical fibers and telephone lines in the real world after Redstone dust is placed on the blocks.

It can even be used to brew potions!

Countless MC high-level players rely on [Redstone], a material with infinite possibilities, to develop various Redstone technologies in the game.

For example, imitating circuit diagrams in the real world to realize simple mechanical device control, even novice Xiaobai can get started.

More advanced players can use [Redstone] to create huge elevators, automatic farms, tunnel boring machines and other devices.

Even more hardcore bone-level gameplay can even build a small game platform in the MC game and build a Redstone computer in the game!

Building a computer in a computer game for yourself to play?

Such an open-minded way of playing, thanks to those great gods who can imagine it!

Of course, Chen Jue勉强算 is considered half an MC high-level player. Although

He hasn't touched this game for so many years, as long as there are enough materials, he can restore most of the Redstone technology in MC after some exploration.

Before, because he hadn't found a real-world substitute for [Redstone], he temporarily gave up the idea of manufacturing various devices.

Now that he has found the metal element lithium to act as a castrated version of Redstone, Chen Jue's mind is naturally active.

… …

So he picked up the [Lepidolite] and threw it into the furnace for an attempt to refine it.

Soon, with the burning of coal, a brand new smelting formula popped up: [Lepidolite] → [Lithium Granules].

"Like smelting iron ore, is it directly removing the impurities in the lithium ore and refining elemental lithium?!"

Chen Jue was taken aback by this result.

Switching to Steve's form, he carefully took out the silver-white [Lithium Granules] from the furnace.

As soon as his eyes focused, a line of subtitles was displayed.

[Lithium Granules: Metallic material, possessing some of the characteristics of Redstone.]

The reason why he behaved so cautiously was because elemental lithium is a very active metal that easily reacts violently with oxygen and water.

In the real world, lithium is a metallic element that ranks third on the periodic table, only slightly weaker than 'sodium' in activity.

To give a simple example, the lithium granules produced by the metallurgical industry are used to manufacture high-energy rocket fuel, and must be made into special powders or spheres, and then stored in isolation from the air.

If he got carried away and recklessly used this thing to replace Redstone to lay out circuits, Chen Jue was afraid that he would be blown to death before he could develop Redstone technology.

"It looks good but is useless!"

"If you want to replace Redstone, it seems that you can only use more stable lithium compounds such as ternary lithium and lithium iron phosphate to achieve it." Chen Jue swallowed and temporarily stored the extremely unstable [Lithium Granules] in the storage box.

… …

Because he found a possible castrated version of substitute for [Redstone] in the real world, Chen Jue had a lot of expectations for replicating Redstone technology in MC.

So he ordered a team of iron golems to go along the newly laid railway line to the front line of excavation in Jiangxi Province to mine the [Silver Ore] and [Lepidolite] that had been discovered and bring them back.

As for Chen Jue himself, after taking a comfortable bath in the underground base, he went to the old house and used his mobile phone to order a large number of different types of batteries circulating on Taobao.

Nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries, lithium batteries, lead-acid batteries, etc., he bought some of everything.

His purpose was very simple, to use the exhaustive method, by disassembling the materials in various types of batteries in the real world, to see if there were any Redstone alternative materials that were more stable than elemental lithium.

After ordering these various batteries, Chen Jue went back to the base and lay down on the [bed] to rest.

Waking up early the next morning, a batch of [Silver Ore] sent back from the front line excavation had been successively put into the furnace by the iron golems under the command of the lackey and refined into [Silver Ingots].

Looking at these [Silver Ingots] that look like those internet celebrities doing the silver brick grabbing challenge on the street, Chen Jue felt that it was inappropriate to take them as they are and sell them to realize cash and replenish his funds.

It would be even more eye-catching to further synthesize a one-cubic-meter [Silver Block] and take it out.

So after thinking for a moment, Chen Jue went out, had a simple breakfast, and first went to the hardware market in Ruixian County to buy several sets of graphite and molds.

After that, he detoured to the Minghua Shipyard and used the factory's processing equipment to open the mold himself.

When he ran the auto and motorcycle parts factory before, he learned a few tricks from his master, and it was not too difficult to process the shape of investment silver bricks commonly seen in banks.

When the mold was finished, he threw this batch of MC-produced [Silver Ingots] into an electric arc furnace to melt them into silver water, and poured them into the mold to mass-produce silver bars.

Picking up one at random and playing with it, the heavy feeling in his hand made Chen Jue's face show a smug smile.

Except for the lack of plastic shell packaging, these silver bars are basically the same as the investment silver bars circulating on the market, whether it is the shape or the words 'Investment Silver Bar' '1000g' 'Ag999.9' engraved on them.

He quickly made a few sturdy wooden boxes to pack 5,000 such silver bars inside. Chen Jue asked Tie Yi to drive the truck, and he took his lackey and drove the batch of silver bars directly to the Industrial and Commercial Sub-branch of Wansong Road in Ruixian County.

"Handsome guy, what business do you want to do? Please take a number here with your ID card. There are still a dozen people queuing in front of the counter business." The lobby manager in charge of patrolling the hall saw Chen Jue coming in, and politely reminded him, thinking that he was a young man who came to do ordinary business.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jue smiled slightly: "No need to take a number, I'm looking for your Manager Cai to talk about a big business. Is the large customer room on the second floor?"

The second update is here~

It's a little late, sorry for keeping everyone waiting.
