A week later.
Halfway up Vesuvius Dak Volcano, at Residence No. 1248 in Pompeii Town, 220 meters underground.
A small cave spanning several dozen square meters had been excavated and fitted with quite a bit of equipment.
Beside the equipment were numerous slender pipes over ten centimeters in diameter. They extended forward, passed through a sealed wall, and disappeared—the other side of the wall was the interior of Vesuvius Dak Volcano.
Richard appeared here, inspected the equipment, and nodded.
The equipment he had installed here was a Geothermal Power Generator. Its principle was to use the high temperatures inside the volcano to produce steam, driving a turbine to generate electricity.
From an energy perspective, thermal energy was converted into mechanical energy, which was then converted into electrical energy.
Simply put, it was three words: boiling hot water.
The current equipment was crude, and Richard knew that. For now, his main concern was solving the problem of having something rather than nothing.
First, he would make use of the energy inside the volcano. Then he could gradually upgrade the equipment, perhaps converting it into a Dual-Cycle Power Generation System or a Total Flow Power Generation System. In addition, he was considering leaving his body a few more times to figure out the mechanism behind the Truth Society's power supply core, design a small replica himself, and use magic patterns to assist with the power supply.
With these thoughts in mind, Richard operated the machine.
Click!
He pulled down a valve lever and activated the main switch. The entire machine began to tremble slightly.
Whoosh!
The sound of liquid flowing rang out, followed by bursts of steam.
Bzzzz!
The machine's vibrations grew stronger. Richard tilted his head slightly and looked at a gauge beside him, where a needle was swinging wildly—it indicated
