A journey through the universes

Chapter 59: Plans, projects, drawings… (Two)

The next thing that goes according to plan is to provide the base with electricity.

The generator will work for quite a long time, but it’s better to worry about an alternative now.

And there are only two more or less affordable options: solar panels or wind turbines.

Unfortunately, the wind in this area is clearly not suitable for the second, which means you will have to extract energy from the sun.

Again we sit down to design, now solar panels, batteries.

Of course, I could just make ordinary silicon or organic panels, but this, as you probably already understand, did not suit me.

Conventional solar panels that can be bought by the general public have an efficiency of 15-20%. And the record holders are up to 40% or more. In theory, the efficiency can be increased to 87%, but this is only in theory, technology cannot yet allow us to confirm this.

I won’t drag it out, as a result, I was able to design and even make a solar panel with an efficiency of 90%, but besides that, the panel came out multi-layered, which further increased the efficiency at times. The panel itself came out quite durable and can last up to fifty years, while losing 0.3% efficiency per year, which is simply incredible.

The only problem is that only I can build them and I don’t even know when humanity will be able to produce them, especially now.

Now, the plans are to provide the entire camp with electricity for the next week.

Next on the list – Provisions.

While there was enough food, but in a month the problems would have started.

In three weeks, it will be very difficult to get food, because without electricity, refrigerators are not able to work, which means that food is already rapidly becoming unusable.

There is only one way out, you need to start growing crops and establish fishing. There were no problems with the second one, the necessary things for fishing are right here in the port.

The first one is more complicated. Firstly, there is very little place suitable for this case. Secondly, there are almost no people who understand farming. And the third, perhaps the most important thing is time. Time before harvest. Time that we simply don’t have.

So I decided to try to change the seeds using the “Transformation” skill. But-oh, nothing came out, that is, almost nothing came out.

The fact is that “Transformation” does not work with “living” materials and therefore it is impossible to change, modernize “cultures”.

But as I have already said, there were some results. It turned out that if prana is directed into the plant, it will begin to grow right before our eyes. The plant will also be stronger and more durable, and its fruits are much tastier and healthier. I personally checked on tomatoes…

At the same time, a lot of prana is spent, but the solution to this problem was quite easy. Simply, instead of introducing energy directly, it is better to enrich the water with prana, which the plants will be watered with.

As a result, thanks to this “living” water, crops grow a little slower than with the direct direction of prana into them, but it’s worth it.

And finally, it’s a printing press.

Yes, I decided to make a printing press and use it to supply people with my books.

There were no problems when creating the machine itself. The problem was only in writing books, because it took time.

Right now, when I’m telling you all this, I’m finishing the first manga book on prana management.

According to my calculations, the books made on this printing machine will be slightly less effective than the manuscript that I made for fanatics, but all this is compensated by the number of books themselves.

And in the end, I would like to note that the group that went to the evacuation site returned and, as I already guessed, it turned out to be pitch-black hell. No one survived. Moreover, a new kind of zombie was discovered there that could spit quite strong acid. If it gets on your skin and… well, you obviously won’t like it.

Unfortunately, Ray’s father and Takashi’s mother were supposed to be at the evacuation site, which means their chance of survival is almost zero.

And if Rei took this news more or less normally, as far as possible in this situation, then Takashi was completely broken. Sorry for the guy.

First I lost my love and most likely my best friend, then the apocalypse, then I had to kill this very best friend, while listening to Miyamoto’s attacks. Next, Ray, who recently lost her boyfriend, began to stick to him, then to me. And now the death of his mother. He’s not lucky. He is so unlucky, but it seems that his dark streak in life ends here and the white one begins.

The fact is that after he found out this news, he met Masako. And it looks like something has started to spin, they have it. Masako, this cougar, clearly had her eye on the boy and began to frown, support him, and he in his deplorable state was not at all against it…

In the end, Rei noticed it, and in general, she did not like that Takashi was becoming someone’s prey. I don’t know if it’s greed or love, but the fact is that now Ray is trying to stop Masako, but frankly, she doesn’t do it very well. Takashi was too weak before the onslaught of this “milf”, you know, I even understand him, I also have a thing about this … Ahem! That’s not what we’re talking about.

In short, they have various boils going on there now and, to be honest, I’m more rooting for the cougar. Ray, something’s been upsetting me lately.…

Although I do much worse myself… God, how it smelled of “hypocrisy” from me … rather, it even stank…

From the third person

Place of action – Shiro’s Office

A large table covered with various papers, mostly documents and drawings. It was at this table that Shiro was currently sitting.

In absolute silence, one could hear how the hero’s hand was writing carefully and quickly, filling the page of the book with knowledge and information.

– Finally finished … – exhaling Shiro said while putting the brush aside.

– “Tomorrow it will be possible to distribute the first batch, and by the end of the week everyone will have their own copy… It is necessary to add to the plans for the construction of a library …” * Shurh* – closing his eyes, the hero pondered until the door to his office slid aside, which attracted his attention.

Saeko came into the office slowly, with feline grace.

On her normally calm face, a gentle smile played, which only one person can see – Shiro.

She quietly, smoothly went straight to him, then bypassing the hero, began massaging his shoulders. – Your muscles are very tense, dear. Relax, you need to rest more. I’ve been spinning like a squirrel in a wheel all day. – she spoke in a gentle, caring tone during the massage.

– Maybe, but it was worth it. Despite the difficulty, this day was extremely productive. And we both understand that all these difficulties are only at the beginning, then it will be much easier. – calmly, he answered gently, under the onslaught of gentle hands.

– Yes, it’s better to work hard now and not have problems in the future than vice versa. – Saeko replied in the same gentle tone while massaging the hero’s shoulders, which had already relaxed a little.

– Uh-huh – mumbled Shiro, while Saeko’s hands attacked the most tense areas.

After five minutes, Saeko spoke again. – I almost forgot why I came, Shizuka asked me to tell you that Saya has finally woken up. – she said after finishing the massage.

– Yes? Great news, I’m going to visit her now. – the hero answered, stretching his shoulders and getting up from his chair.

Shiro calmly walked towards the exit, but somewhere in the middle of the way he stopped and without turning to face Saeko, asked a question. – Saeko… Was it you, the day before, who knocked Sayu out of the rut? – he asked in a calm tone.

When Saeko heard Shiro, she immediately realized that something serious was about to happen, and this something most likely concerns her actions, behavior.

– Yes, it’s probably my fault. – she answered calmly, admitting her guilt.

– And what did you do, tell her? – still in the same “calm” tone, he asked.

“I… I pushed her a little… In your direction. – Saeko stammered a little, feeling at the same time not even a naughty cat, but rather a guilty schoolgirl in front of the director.

“And why did you do that?” No, not even like that, everything is clear with this. The question is, why didn’t you ask me about it first? –

Saeko couldn’t answer this question, didn’t want to, and most likely didn’t even know how to answer.

Shiro continued to stand with his back to her, waiting for an answer. By the way, the hero stood like that because he didn’t want Saeko to see a whirlwind of emotions on his face, eyes.

All this time he knew, guessed that the girl was carrying out various manipulations behind his back, even if done purely for his own sake.

Shiro wasn’t thrilled about it, to put it mildly, and therefore decided to stop it all before it went too far and led them to a serious quarrel between them.

“I know you only want what’s best for me, Saeko. I know all this and that’s what stops me from quarreling with you. Please don’t do this anymore otherwise…” he said and turning his head, looked with a serious, firm gaze into the girl’s eyes. – I will punish … – he finished, and calmly walked out of the office.

Saeko at this time, like a frightened rabbit, watched Shiro leave the office, and then, when Shiro’s words reached her, she relaxed and exhaled.

– How stupid I am, I should have guessed right away that if you pull a mustache, even a domestic, but still a tiger, sooner or later it will growl in irritation… I’m lucky it all ended so well. – exhaling, she muttered to herself, tightly closing her eyes at the same time.

“And yet how sexy he is when he gets angry and gets wild…” she thought with a smile on her face, feeling the love “juice” slowly flowing down her legs.
