Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 432 - 334: The Steam Engine!

In the following days, Zhao Yi was thoroughly exhausted by Miaoyin.

It wasn’t a physical exhaustion, but a mental one.

Even though Zhao Yi had already held a high opinion of Miaoyin’s intelligence, he realized he had still underestimated her terrifying capability when she started learning Blue Star technology.

The three years of high school math Zhao Yi had hastily written down was all learned by Miaoyin with just a glance.

Keep in mind, she didn’t even know what math was before yesterday.

As a result, she only needed to look at the middle school math, physics, and chemistry textbooks Zhao Yi had transcribed to establish a foundation of knowledge that took Blue Star students nearly ten years to complete.

For the next few days, Zhao Yi did nothing but write down everything he could remember about his previous life’s knowledge.

As the difficulty of the knowledge increased, especially with the introduction of higher calculus, high-energy physics, and organic chemistry, Miaoyin’s learning speed noticeably slowed down.

However, just as Zhao Yi thought he could catch a breath, Miaoyin thoroughly digested the new information, learning even faster. In the end, Zhao Yi couldn’t keep up with her learning speed with his writing speed.

By the seventh day, Zhao Yi couldn’t take it any longer.

He looked at the oddly excited Miaoyin, who was enraptured in her studies, and repeatedly shook his head, saying, "No more, really no more! I told you before, I just had a fleeting contact with that mysterious consciousness, retaining this much is quite an achievement."

Seeing there was no more to squeeze out, Miaoyin could only shake her head in regret: "What a pity. I was just starting to understand some interesting things, ready to compare them with the knowledge in your memory, but unfortunately, there’s no follow-up."

Zhao Yi felt embarrassed.

He once wanted to delve further into his studies, but he never got into graduate school.

Otherwise, this engineering guy wouldn’t have worked himself to death crossing worlds.

"There’s nothing more I can do."

Fearing that Miaoyin would cling to him, Zhao Yi quickly said, "I’ve only remembered those things, I only have a superficial understanding of the actual content. If you want to research further, you’ll have to rely on yourself. I certainly can’t help you."

Clearly, Miaoyin did not expect Zhao Yi’s help.

She pondered for a while, then said, "Some knowledge from that Otherworld is quite intriguing, like mechanics, electricity, and atmospheric pressure. Although starkly different from the Cultivation World, it forms its own system and is applicable to ordinary people."

Miaoyin was a decisive person, and once she made up her mind, she was ready to take action.

She said to Zhao Yi, "I was originally planning to forge some steel in a blast furnace. After all, whether for building houses or farming, having steel tools makes work more efficient."

"And now?" Zhao Yi asked curiously.

Miaoyin said, "The core of that Otherworld’s technology seems to be something called mechanics, with other branches extending from it. So I’m planning to construct the most basic mechanical device and then see what interesting things I can create with it."

Hearing this, Zhao Yi knew what she wanted to do.

"You want to make a steam engine?"

Knowing Miaoyin never did anything she wasn’t sure of, Zhao Yi asked curiously, "A steam engine needs to consider sealing. Have you found rubber in the New World?"

Miaoyin shook her head: "I don’t know what rubber is, and there’s no mention of it in what you wrote. However, if it’s just about sealing, I’ve found something that can substitute."

With that, she gestured to Zhao Yi with a smile, "The things should be almost ready, do you want to come and have a look with me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi was stunned: "You’ve already made the steam engine?"

Miaoyin nodded nonchalantly: "That thing has no technical complexity at all; it’s easy to make. The hard part is figuring out how to utilize it. It’s a shame that your contact with the Otherworld was too brief, and the knowledge you obtained was too limited, lacking direction for reference; otherwise, we could have saved a lot of time."

Zhao Yi: "..."

Is it so miserable to be a study slacker these days?

Even after crossing worlds, I still have to be ridiculed!

Zhao Yi thought silently, but on the surface, he shook his head seriously: "That was an endless chaos. Being able to perceive a civilization from another world, do you know how slim that probability is? To have what we have is already quite good, don’t ask for too much."

Miaoyin sighed, "I understand that, it’s just a pity. The knowledge from that world is quite interesting. Such fun things not being available to play with is truly a regret."

Interesting, fun?

Back in school, Zhao Yi never found these things fun at all.

Is this the gap between ordinary people and geniuses?

Wait!

Zhao Yi quickly dismissed his thought.

Because even a genius couldn’t learn all the courses from high school to university within seven days.

Miaoyin’s mind couldn’t just be called genius anymore, she should be termed as a strong artificial intelligence.

Her behavior also closely resembled artificial intelligence.

Initially slow when exposed to new knowledge, but once she grasped the pattern, her learning speed increased exponentially.

Moreover, Miaoyin also had the ability to infer beyond her learning.

This is truly artificial intelligence!

Thinking about this, Zhao Yi followed Miaoyin back to the Royal Garden.

Zhao Yi had been wondering where Miaoyin would choose to fiddle with her steam engine.

Seeing the location of the thing now, Zhao Yi’s mouth twitched violently.

He looked at Miaoyin and clicked his tongue: "Aren’t steam engines supposed to boil water? Are you planning to use the Spirit Lake’s water as fuel by placing this thing next to it?"

That’s just too extravagant!

The water in the Spirit Lake isn’t real water; it’s liquid form due to the condensation of spiritual energy being too dense.

This stuff is invaluable outside.

Yet Miaoyin is just using it to boil water—extravagant, truly extravagant!

Miaoyin explained, "I’ve tested it before. Although normal water can be boiled, the power of the steam is too weak, not even comparable to Entry Level cultivators."

"In the New World, practitioners are everywhere. Even the most ordinary farmers have achieved Entry Level cultivation and strength in such a dense spiritual energy environment."

"Therefore, the power from a steam engine boiling ordinary water is completely inadequate, entirely a chicken rib, and it’s impossible for it to be promoted in the New World."

"So, you set your sights on the Spirit Lake?" Zhao Yi grinned, "Although Spirit Lake looks like water, its essence is spiritual energy. Are you sure it can be used when boiled?"

Miaoyin nodded assuredly, "Rest assured, it works perfectly!"

With a wave of her long sleeves, she directed two nearby Daoists:

"Prepare for the experiment!"
