Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter-Chapter 680 - 470: Geothermal Resource Utilization, A New Power Generation Method!

Chapter 680: Chapter 470: Geothermal Resource Utilization, A New Power Generation Method!

Although the large self-propelled howitzer hasn’t been used yet to see just how powerful it really is, Lin Yue is already looking forward to it.

Looking forward to sending one shot, no, ten shots to the Wolf-headed Man’s settlement!

Despite this big guy taking up a lot of space, it’s not really a big deal for Lin Yue, who has a vast Storage Space.

Then, Lin Yue looked at the remaining three items.

Geothermal Resource Detector, Geothermal Power Generation Device.

Geothermal power generation... what is it?

[Geothermal power generation is a new type of power generation technology that uses underground hot water and steam as its power source. Its basic principle is similar to thermal power generation, which also follows the principle of energy conversion by first converting geothermal energy into mechanical energy and then converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Geothermal power generation is essentially the process of converting underground thermal energy into mechanical energy and then converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, also known as geothermal power generation.]

The system quickly provided an answer, quite detailed.

"Geothermal power generation? Steam... underground hot water..."

Lin Yue looked at these descriptions, finding them very unfamiliar.

In his knowledge scope, there are only common thermal power generation, hydropower generation, solar power generation, wind power generation, and nuclear power generation.

This geothermal power generation is something he’s learning about for the first time.

But, it says underground hot water and steam are required...

He suddenly remembered an incident from his childhood.

Back then, a big client came to the orphanage.

When this person came to the orphanage, Lin Yue was once again thrown onto the street to wander around, and when he returned, the deputy director gave him a hot spring ticket.

That hot spring ticket was the greeting gift from the client who wanted to adopt an orphan.

Everyone else at the orphanage later went to the hot springs except him, while Lin Yue chose another day to avoid the crowd and went alone.

It turned out the owner who ran that hot spring recognized Lin Yue, as did the boy who was adopted.

The owner was surprised that Lin Yue was treated this way, directly thrown onto the street and not considered in the selection; otherwise, the child selected by the owner would definitely be him.

However, Lin Yue politely refused the owner, even though it wasn’t intentional special treatment by the orphanage director, he didn’t want to be adopted.

A free and unrestrained life is what he longed for.

Just like now.

Speaking of it, the hot spring that owner opened was really quite good.

Thinking about it now, a hot spring should be a type of geothermal resource, right?

Not to mention whether it generates power, just having the ability to take a hot spring bath is great.

Even that high-performance heated swimming pool design plan doesn’t seem that important?

No, no.

If there’s no geothermal resource here, trying to take a comfy bath in the Shelter would still require having such a large setup.

Lin Yue looked at the Geothermal Resource Detector.

It seems this gadget and the geothermal power generation device complement and are indispensable.

After all, he doesn’t have the ability to detect geothermal resources, if this tool could work...

Lin Yue took out the Geothermal Resource Detector and placed it on the ground.

"This gadget is like the Mineral Resource Reserve Detector." Lin Yue remarked on the dashboard and large screen, unable to help but complain.

Indeed, the gadget is large, a heavy lump of iron, and they’re similar in size and bulk, except this one’s screen is a bit smaller, Lin Yue couldn’t find other differences.

"Never mind, it’s irrelevant; they’re the same kind of thing, and since they have names, I won’t mix them up." Lin Yue connected it to the power source, and soon, as the switch was turned on, this huge machine started with a deafening roar, just like the Mineral Resource Reserve Detector.

The large screen in front began to light up, showing text for Lin Yue to see.

[Geothermal Resource Detector has started]

[Would you like to detect geothermal resources within a twenty-kilometer radius from this point?]

[Detection chosen]

[Detection in progress...]

[39%, 69%... 100%]

[Detection complete]

[Detected, at 940 meters east from this point, 2 kilometers underground is the geothermal resource center point, containing some geothermal resources]

[Detected, at 17.9 kilometers northeast from this point, 3 kilometers underground is a geothermal resource center point, containing a small amount of geothermal resources]

[Detected, at 19.8 kilometers southwest from this point, 11 kilometers underground is a geothermal resource center point, containing an abundant amount of geothermal resources]

[Detection finished]

[Would you like to detect usable power generation duration?]

[Confirmation of detection]

[Detection in progress...]

[Detection finished]

[940 meters east from this point, 2 kilometers underground is the geothermal resource center point, sufficient for continuous power generation for 2 years, 9 months, and 4 days]

[At 17.9 kilometers northeast from this point, 3 kilometers underground, the geothermal resource center point is suitable for continuous power generation for 1 year, 7 months, and 2 days]

[At 19.8 kilometers southwest from this point, 11 kilometers underground, the geothermal resource center point is feasible for continuous use in power generation for 98 years, 2 months, and 11 days]

[Detection finished]

Lin Yue: ???

Wow, isn’t this too spectacular?

In an instant, three geothermal resource center points were detected, and all are quite close.

Even the one nearest to me, at 940 meters east... wow, it’s even within my walls!
