CHAPTER 600: CHAPTER 436: THE MELTING FURNACE FINALLY STARTS, OPENING THE ERA OF SMELTING!

Lin Yue gradually felt that this so-called survival game had slowly turned into his "new experience game."

Besides experiencing disasters...

He experienced soilless cultivation.

Experienced greenhouse farming.

Experienced raising chickens, and also growing fruit.

Even experiencing factory production, mining, gunpowder manufacturing, tool and weapon forging, among others.

Other experiences were countless.

Agriculture and industrial production, too, had been able to develop because of these.

Yet, there was just one thing that, after quite a long time, remained in a state of "gathering dust."

It wasn’t that Lin Yue didn’t want to use it, nor that he didn’t have time.

But this thing called the "Melting Furnace" always lacked crucial fuel, making it an ornament and a hindrance in his Shelter, where almost everything was functioning.

Of course, the titanium iron ore and other ores that had always been ornaments were in the same state.

But now, everything has changed.

"With fuel for the Melting Furnace...next, I can embark on the road of smelting successfully!"

Lin Yue couldn’t help but feel excited at this moment!

Because he had been stuck on this smelting path for way too long!

He walked to the medium-sized warehouse outside, took out all the ores from inside, and placed them in the Storage Space.

They were already covered in a layer of dust.

But this layer of dust was destined to be burned completely clean in the roaring fire that would ignite soon!

"First, put these diesel and heavy oil into the fuel tank, then...oh, there’s also a power source that needs to be connected? Indeed, even with fuel, we still need to consider the power issue."

Lin Yue connected the power source to a nearby diesel generator, then opened the outer shell of the Melting Furnace.

He unexpectedly discovered that there was a layer of electronic equipment inside!

"Oh, these...but they still seem quite simple."

Even with just a rough glance, Lin Yue understood the operation method: turn on the power, inject the fuel, raise the lever, then wait a moment. When the furnace’s indicator light comes on, put the ore into the smelting tank...

After completing these simple steps skillfully, Lin Yue pressed the final blue button, thus beginning the entire smelting process!

"However...it seems to take quite a while."

After putting in all 120 units of titanium iron ore, the display screen told him that it would take a full 12 hours to complete the smelting!

hours, it’s not even nine in the morning now, so by nine tonight, it’ll be time to see the results!

"Speaking of which, the longer the wait, the stronger the anticipation, right?"

This time, they weren’t smelting anything ordinary.

It was titanium alloy.

Within Lin Yue’s scope of knowledge, it’s the strongest metal.

Titanium alloy plays an important role in aerospace and various technological machines and instruments, which made Lin Yue see it in a new light.

Unfortunately, from the beginning until now, the opportunities and amounts of titanium alloy he had gotten were pitifully few.

Either by chance from treasure chests, or by trying his luck at the World Trade Mall.

In short, it was always "luck," not a guaranteed gain.

He glanced back at the main Shelter.

He had to admit, the main Shelter was now very strong, very solid.

The outer layer was sturdy stone, and inside was a thick layer of alloy.

But honestly.

This wasn’t safe.

Or rather, this massive Shelter wasn’t capable of withstanding all disasters as imagined.

Just like the last fiery tornado, it was good fortune that it didn’t strike directly; otherwise, forget about anything else, even the big warehouse wouldn’t have held up.

Even if it did withstand it, there would undoubtedly be damage.

But what if everything were turned into titanium alloy?

Just thinking about it, Lin Yue felt certain it could lead to a significant improvement in durability!

After all, if the existing alloy were replaced with the stronger and lighter titanium alloy, it could reduce the overall weight while improving durability.

That would be more scientific, too.

As for other places...

Lin Yue was actually quite eager to see the entirety of this Otherworld planet he was on.

However, out of all the things found in opened chests, besides the Palladium Treasure Chest, not much seemed related to "aerospace."

He even needed to rely on Bai’s strength to fly high up.

That Backpack Flame Sprayer, while adequate for low-altitude flying, even if it could go to medium-high altitudes, Lin Yue wouldn’t risk using it.

With just the human body, flying without any support is impossible.

An airplane is a solution, though.

But he didn’t have a plane; the previous one had been traded away for a large generator, and even if it hadn’t been traded, he couldn’t fly it.

However, he now had some aviation fuel, which could still be put to use somewhat...

Should he consider an unmanned flight mode?

But unmanned flight seems to require quite powerful technological capabilities...

Navigation alone couldn’t be sorted out.

"Alright, stop thinking about it, it’s time to move to the next step; it’s not going to work out if things remain as they are."
