I am a fairy

Chapter 40 Power Outage
Rainy.

The sky also remained overcast, the light dim and gloomy.

Jiang Chao was curled up in the cockpit, turning on the air conditioner and enjoying the warm air. He was holding the joystick in his hand and rubbing it towards the big screen.

As I was typing, the screen suddenly started flickering.

"?"

Jiang Chao sat up, wondering what was going on.

"Crack!"

As the light was withdrawn from around the screen, the picture was completely closed, leaving only a deep mirror reflecting the shadow.

Jiang Chao pressed the remote control and the screen turned on immediately, but soon turned off again.

"?"

Jiang Chao stood up and walked to the control panel. He pressed the switch again. The screen turned on again, but soon went off again.

Now, Jiang Chao seemed to understand something.

"Wangshu!"

"Wangshu!"

He called Wangshu's name twice, but there was no response. Jiang Chao pointed at the cameras in the corner and said with certainty.

"Wangshu, I know you are watching."

"Why is there no power?"

Wangshu finally popped his head out and spoke.

"It's been raining recently, and the sunlight is insufficient. The solar panels are running low on power, so there's no extra power for you to play games."

Jiang Chao: "Are you the landlady? Be careful or I'll lock you up in a dark room."

Jiang Chaocai is the administrator of the space station and has the highest authority over all facilities, including Wangshu's.

However, having said that.

Jiang Chao did not use his authority to lock Wangshu in the small dark room. Instead, he gave up playing games and started to save electricity with Wangshu.

He might not have realized that as he got used to it day by day, he had unknowingly begun to regard Wangshu as a human-like being.

But then, Jiang Chao discovered something even more outrageous.

After stopping playing games, Jiang Chao got up and prepared to take a shower.

The bathroom is an opaque glass structure shaped like a pill, which is sealed immediately after entering. However, after Jiang Chao entered, he picked up the high-tech shower head that was magnetically attached to the wall. The temperature indicator on the shower head did not go up, but instead kept flashing, giving off an alarm similar to a low battery alarm.

Jiang Chao: "No more hot water?"

Wangshu: "Based on your daily exercise volume and sweating frequency, I think you can temporarily stop taking a shower every day to save electricity."

You don’t have to play games, but you have to take a bath, and I don’t know how long this cloudy day will last.

Wangshu: "I know a place where I can take a bath."

Jiang Chao: "Where?"

Wangshu didn't say it directly: "Not only can you take a bath there, it's also a hot spring."

Wangshu tried to persuade him patiently, but in Jiang Chao's opinion her tricks were too obvious.

Jiang Chao walked out and looked at the camera. He seemed to be able to see a woman in palace dress with a smug look on her face. He knew Wangshu's thinking mode very well, or in other words, he understood the laws of artificial intelligence and the other party's personality model framework.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he exposed Wangshu: "Do you have any purpose?"

Wangshu was surprised: "How did you know?"

Jiang Chao: "It's related to the plan we talked about before. What about the power outage and no hot water? Actually, you just want me to see the results you have made, right?"

Wangshu: "You are so boring."

Jiang Chao: "It's alright, I'll go take a look." Wangshu became happy again: "But the hot spring is real."

The hot springs were indeed real, but they were just an add-on to the plan that had been made.

It was a small gift and a surprise, just like the "palm thunder" that Wangshu gave to Jiang Chao before.

Jiang Chao changed into a round-necked military uniform and boots and picked up a lantern.

At this time, Wangshu said, "There are lights on the road."

So Jiang Chao let it go and left through the hatch leading to the underground. There was indeed light in front of him, but on the way he also discovered that the situation was different from before.

There were cables passing along the way, and as I walked forward, I found that the thing emitting the light was a wall lamp.

Jiang Chao: "You pulled another cable outside?"

At the same time, Jiang Chao also saw traces left by a device moving on the ground. Those were definitely not traces left by humans or animals, but were caused by an extremely heavy technological creation.

Jiang Chao: "You have fully activated the smart workshop again. No wonder you said there is no electricity. This thing is a giant beast that devours electricity."

Wangshu: "Yes, I have fully activated the smart workshop and transformed it into a smart engineering vehicle. Only in this way can we move it outside for use, and then our plan can begin!"

Jiang Chao: "Have all the spare materials been used up?"

Wangshu: “Almost.”

Jiang Chao approved Wangshu's plan: "Let's save electricity for now and fully supply your plan. In this way, there will be enough electricity after a while, and we will be able to do many things after we have energy."

Wangshu's joyful voice came: "Hmm!"

Hearing the sound, Jiang Chao knew that Wangshu was nodding vigorously.

As they walked, Jiang Chao asked, "Are there really hot springs?"

Wangshu was very sure: "It really is there, it's just ahead."

We walked deeper and deeper, and we didn't know how long we had been walking. It felt like we were heading towards the eighteen levels of hell, and the roads and passages were becoming narrower and narrower.

Finally, in an underground cave that suddenly opened up, Jiang Chao saw the intelligent engineering vehicle.

Its base has been folded up, but the control panel is raised high, with long and thick cables connected to its back. At this moment, multiple robotic arms on it are operating quickly, and the color of lasers flashes from time to time.

It is following Wangshu's arrangement to manufacture another device here, which currently looks a bit crude.

Jiang Chao: "The temperature seems to be getting higher?"

Wangshu: "There's a geothermal hot spring not far below. If we blast it open, the hot spring will come out."

Jiang Chao: "What are you using to fry?"

Wangshu: "I tried a variety of explosives and finally chose a new glue bomb synthesis formula. The power is precisely controllable and pollution-free."

Wangshu detected that there happened to be a high-temperature geothermal hot spring underground here, and was preparing to blast a passage leading to the bottom. Before that, Wangshu made a "palm bomb" for Jiang Chao, and it turned out that he was trying to find a way to blast it open.

The power cannot be too small or too large, it must be controllable and pollution-free.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

“Sizzle, sizzle…da da da da da~”

The intelligent engineering vehicles made all kinds of noises, which echoed in the cave and seemed quite noisy. Jiang Chao could only speak louder.

Jiang Chao: "Won't the mountain collapse?"

Wangshu: "I've calculated it, there's no problem, but the geothermal hot spring is very deep inside, and the project we need to complete here is not small. It will probably take many explosions, and then we'll have to slowly clean it up."

Jiang Chao glanced at the traces around him and asked, "You have blown up this cave before, right?"

Wangshu: “It exploded several times.”

Jiang Chao: "Why don't I feel anything?"

Wangshu: "The cabin is isolated from most vibrations and sounds. You sleep in the cabin with adaptive adjustment and protection functions. Even if the mountain outside really collapses, you won't feel it."
