Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1339 - 1182: Completion of the Residential Complex

For several days, the continuous transportation of crude oil allowed Lin Yi to successfully exchange for many of the materials he desired.

A significant portion of these materials came from the list provided by Xiao Zihan.

After all, in this ancient society, countless things were lacking.

Of course, advanced technology was what was lacking, while there was an abundance of primitive materials. It could be said that Lin Yi could freely exploit the resources of the entire ancient society on Earth.

This would perfectly supply the future generations of Huaxia, making them increasingly powerful.

However, Lin Yi was not planning to exploit things blindly, as the ancient society still needed development. Excessive exploitation could greatly hinder future progress.

For this reason, Lin Yi meticulously managed the quantity. Currently, this management was quite feasible, for example, with oil extraction. Despite the time Lin Yi had spent extracting oil, the quantity was minuscule compared to Earth’s total reserves, even less so than a drop in the ocean, akin to picking up two grains of sand on a beach.

Lin Yi certainly wouldn’t do anything like killing the goose to get the golden eggs.

With the arrival of the drilling platform, Lin Yi successfully extracted it, though he soon became frustrated. The reason was that installing the platform was extraordinarily tedious.

It wasn’t something that anyone could accomplish. The indigenous people, despite their physical strength and their obedience to him, had undeniable limitations in cultural and cognitive levels, and the installation of the drilling platform was beyond his sole capability.

Even commanding the work was impossible for him alone.

Thus, he quickly abandoned this plan, deciding to pack up the platform and return to Dayou to start a specialized course. People would have to study before they could properly use the drilling platform.

Additionally, the drilling platform couldn’t operate alone; it needed coordination with electrical power and so on.

In addition to the drilling platform, he acquired various refining equipment, opting for less complex small-scale devices rather than those from large factories.

This approach would reduce difficulty significantly, even if the oil quality varied greatly.

Given the current circumstances, operating these devices was relatively easy. Hence, Lin Yi established the first oil refinery here.

Thus, the first barrel of crude oil in ancient society was successfully converted into the gasoline Lin Yi needed.

Although crude oil was found, Lin Yi repeatedly warned them about staying away from fire sources; no fire was allowed near this area.

Lin Yi even conducted a demonstration, bringing fire close to a small barrel of crude oil, which exploded instantly.

He demonstrated this because he was wearing the Iron Man Armor, which protected him completely from such explosions and flames. Although it posed no threat to him, it instilled profound caution among the others.

This demonstration caused them to become increasingly vigilant.

Originally relying on sap for sustenance, the arrival of Lin Yi enabled them to eat rice and cook over fire, sparking a keen interest in fire. However, Lin Yi’s actions instilled a deep sense of fear towards fire.

This was beneficial because if an oil field caught fire, extinguishing it would be impossible given their current capabilities.

Even in future eras, dealing with such a fire would still be arduous.

After briefly explaining matters here, Lin Yi headed home.

He wasn’t completely neglecting this side; for him, the distance was only a seven or eight-hour flight, allowing for a round trip in a day.

Only Lin Yi could achieve this. Even in future eras, no one could match such speed, entirely thanks to the extreme speed of his Iron Man Armor.

By pushing the Iron Man Armor to its limits, Lin Yi could potentially cut the time in half.

This was no exaggeration, as the Armor was upgradeable.

Upon returning, Lin Yi distributed the goods, reconnecting with Xiao Zihan and his father.

Faced with the treasures Lin Yi revealed, everyone showed excitement, especially as the engineering equipment his father needed had been fully prepared.

Additionally, Lin Yi acquired several hundred large wind power generation devices his father needed.
