Chapter 616 The True and False Monkey Kings!
Because there is no power source in this world.
Therefore, the mini oil press has now been successfully implemented.
Xiao Yu made some adjustments.
Set up a simple array on it, using energy stones instead of a power source.
"Next... is oil extraction..."
As Xiao Yu spoke, he poured the peanut fragments into the funnel on top of the mini oil press.
Start the switch.
Then, the women saw it.
Wow...
Drops of murky, golden-yellow, viscous liquid.
Drip it into the crystal bottle below through the tube.
It does look a lot like honey.
And the peanuts poured in.
It was squeezed out from the tail end of the oil press, turning into pieces of gray residue.
Soon, more and more of the golden, viscous liquid dripped out, eventually filling the bottle.
"Is this all?" The women's beautiful eyes grew even more expectant as they looked at the golden liquid.
Smelling the fresh aroma of peanuts, they felt that cooking with peanut oil would definitely taste better than cooking with animal oil.
"The peanut oil has been successfully refined, but it contains too many impurities and some carcinogens, so it cannot be eaten directly," Xiao Yu explained, shaking his head.
After all, peanuts are the crop most susceptible to Aspergillus flavus infection.
Aspergillus flavus is a carcinogen with high toxicity.
Even now, they are all powerful superhumans who can completely ignore most toxins.
However, there are still many ordinary people in Dragon City who are weak and unable to resist these toxins.
"Now... only the last step, and the most important one, is left... filtration."
As he spoke, Xiao Yu asked the slime to bring another crystal bottle, placed a thin layer of silk cloth on top, and slowly poured in the refined peanut oil.
Upon seeing the process Xiao Yu had outlined, Xinglan and her maid immediately wrote it down.
After a short while, and after two filtrations, the cloudy peanut oil became much clearer.
Of course, it is still not as good as oil extracted using modern techniques.
However, Xiao Yu uses better raw materials, so the quality can only be better.
"Alright, the impurities are basically filtered out." Xiao Yu said with a satisfied smile.
"Finally done! Let's use this oil to make popcorn tonight," Xinglan said excitedly.
"That's great. Let's go to the courtyard and wait there." The women were even more excited upon hearing this.
"Yes! The city lord is going to tell the story of 'The True and False Monkey King' today!" The women said, and immediately came to the courtyard to listen to Xiao Yu tell the story.
Every evening, a group of sisters would sit together.
Listening to Xiao Yu tell stories is the happiest time of their day.
Soon, a plate of golden popcorn was served.
"Mmm, so delicious!" Qi Sha grabbed a few kernels of popcorn, popped them into his mouth, chewed a few times, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Refreshing and delicious, without any greasiness at all?" Honglian also grabbed a few to try, her beautiful eyes shining, and she grabbed more to eat.
Animal fat has a strong flavor, and it actually makes stir-fries more delicious.
However, eating too much of it does create a strong greasy feeling.
The more you eat, the more greasy it feels!
However, the popcorn made with peanut oil is surprisingly refreshing and delicious.
I feel like I could eat as much as I wanted without getting tired of it.
"That's great! From now on, the food in Longcheng will be even better!" The women were all very excited after eating the peanut oil popcorn.
"If we want to use peanut oil every day, we need to increase peanut planting."
Xiao Yu also missed the taste of peanut oil. He looked at the red-haired girl and reminded her, "I'll catalyze another batch of peanut seedlings later and have the planting area transplant them tomorrow."
"Okay, brother..."
......
Late at night, in the studio.
Xiao Yu was still writing and drawing.
He is doing a daily summary.
First, we need to think about how to optimize the mechanisms and procedures.
Most of the questions Sangluo raised earlier were actually not that difficult and were easy to solve.
However, there are also some problems, namely that the technology is too outdated.
First and foremost is the lubricating oil.
The problem isn't just a severe shortage of robotic arms and legs.
Bicycles are also needed.
Once the motorcycles are manufactured, they will be needed even more!
"So, let's get the lubricant out first."
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu wrote the three words "lubricating oil" on the scrap paper.
At the same time, my mind began searching...
What are the raw materials for lubricating oil? And how is it manufactured?
After all, I used this thing quite a lot in my previous life.
I even went online to check whether it would cause any harm to my body, etc.
"Currently, we lack both the raw materials and the necessary technology..."
"The only solution is to use the most basic lubricant!"
Soon, Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly.
He vaguely remembered that lubricating oil came out in the 19th century.
At that time, animal and vegetable oils were used as substitutes.
Therefore, Xiao Yu decided to use animal and vegetable oils for the time being.
"As for other problems, improving them would require a higher level of skill in mechanical engineering..."
Xiao Yu has never stopped striving to improve his skills in mechanical arts.
Since acquiring three of the four great mechanical beasts of the Mechanical City, his mechanical skills have improved rapidly.
In just a few days, the Thousand-Machine Umbrella has unraveled over a hundred more puzzles.
Now, he has solved 300 of the 1,000 mechanisms of the Thousand Umbrellas!
His current mastery of mechanical arts is in no way inferior to that of the two elders of the Mechanical City.
In some aspects, they are even more skilled!
"How should the training of the secret guards be conducted?" Xiao Yu fell into deep thought again.
The combat prowess of any formidable team is not innate; it is earned through repeated, grueling training.
Xiao Yu had no idea how special agents were trained or what qualities they needed.
He searched his mind for classic spy movies he had seen in his previous life, such as Mission: Impossible, The Bourne Identity, and Kingsman, and played through all the scenes in his mind at 100x speed.
He even marked the training videos of those special agents.
Although most of them are entertainment performances, they still have some reference value.
"First and foremost, the most basic are eloquence, fighting skills... and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances..."
Xiao Yu imagined Tom Cruise's ability to adapt to any situation and quickly wrote down the first point: "These are professional skills, actually the simplest ones..."
Learning professional skills like eloquence and combat simply requires spending more time.
"The hardest thing is... having a strong will!"
After watching those spy movies, Xiao Yu came to a conclusion.
In all spy movies and espionage films.
The best agents have an unwavering will!
Even torture could not break them or make them betray their comrades.
How can one develop a strong will?
Xiao Yu wrote these words down in his notebook and continued searching his memory.
Judging from the training of those special agents...
First came all sorts of inhuman, grueling training... extreme training...
