Due to the complete ban on electronic components and currents, human civilization was severely damaged at the beginning of the catastrophe.

However, human imagination is always endless, and the concept of using tools to enhance productivity has long been deeply engraved into the soul.

In Chen Chu's impression, there are three main types of technologies that humans continue to expand and develop after the power ban.

The first category is steam technology, which converts the energy of steam into mechanical work to liberate productivity.

Because humans themselves are the power era that has moved from the steam era, after the power ban, steam technology has become a new mainstream and a new power energy source.

The second type is dimensional technology, which uses some special items, equipment, and even organisms in the dimensional land to complete new technological development.

Not only that, some curious scientists will also conduct anatomical research on dimensional organisms, trying to find out the true meaning of the data network, which is a combination of dimensional technology and biotechnology. This aspect is mainly about complementing the operation and steam technology, or in other words, it is about borrowing existing conditions to explore the essence of the catastrophe.

However, according to Chen Chu's understanding, the research progress in this aspect has always been very slow.

At the forefront is a man named Su Mu.

Su Mu's profession is somewhat mysterious, and it should also be a special profession. He is also one of the top 100 five-star explorers, but his strength should not be underestimated.

It’s a pity that Su Mu’s whereabouts have always been mysterious. Chen Chu just saw him from afar and had no communication again.

It is worth mentioning that Su Mu and Chen Chu still have a certain relationship.

The two of them belong to Qianbei City, and even attended Qianbei Middle School in Qianbei City.

Before the catastrophe, Su Mu was a top student in Qianbei Middle School. He was admitted to Tsinghua University with the highest ranking in the province. However, according to the current time calculation, Su Mu's position should be in the capital, not Qianbei City.

Otherwise, Chen Chu would have found an opportunity to get to know him in advance.

......

As for the third type of technology, it is the vigorous development of engineering.

Engineering is divided into many types, metallurgical engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, power engineering, etc.

This type of technology is a very general term, because even the arrangement and connection of gears can be barely called engineering.

Although there is no use of electricity, some basic structures and technologies have not been lost, but have completed new engineering development with the help of other powers.

If you really want to calculate it, Chen Chu's current skill "mechanical engineering" is very similar to this third type of technology.

Of course, Chen Chu's mechanical engineering is obviously much higher-end than ordinary engineering.

At least, when using skills, Chen Chu did not have to consider the patchwork of basic materials at all, but could directly reconstruct and decompose materials in the gray world.

If this skill is obtained by an engineering master, the combined effect is definitely at the level of the sky.

It’s a pity that Chen Chu was not very interested in engineering in his previous life. He belonged to the practical school, so now he can only explore slowly from the beginning.

.........

“Thermosiphon…”

"Evaporation section, thermal insulation pipe...condensation section."

"Cycling using the density difference between the gas and liquid phases as a driving force..."

"Application of thermosiphon effect in sealing systems"

"Damn..."

After Chen Chu got the gear power and drawings, he went straight back to the management apartment.

However, looking at these proprietary nouns, Chen Chu felt a little headache the more he looked at them.

"Sure enough, can everything be without boiling water?"

Chen Chu looked carefully and found that the so-called thermosiphon was ultimately powered by steam.

However, the connection behind gave Chen Chu some inspiration, which could convert the power of steam into a certain kinetic energy.

"Um..."

After a brief observation, Chen Chu directly chose to practice and gain true knowledge.

He took out a lot of materials and chose to enter the state of mechanical engineering.

Although Chen Chu was not very clear about the details of these drawings, this did not prevent him from imitating one part after another according to the drawings.

In this skill state, Chen Chu can decompose and form these materials without limits, just like a pair of God's hands.

One minute...

Three minutes...

Five minutes...

Ten minutes...

At about the tenth minute, Chen Chu built the first device similar to a thermosiphon.

Although Chen Chu couldn't figure out what the liquid and gas inside were and what materials were decomposed, they were flowing back and forth, which was barely similar to the drawings.

Chen Chu added a piston device in front, which could barely move.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Chu constructed the first thermosiphon device.

If the quality is not enough, the quantity will be collected.

Because he was familiar with the process, it only took Chen Chu two minutes to build the second device.

Not only that, Chen Chu also discovered a strange phenomenon.

That is, when Chen Chu decomposes the life core produced by the monster as energy, he can also provide some special energy materials.

Using this as a promotion, Chen Chu built the third new power tube.

The fourth one, the fifth one.

It took more than half an hour for Chen Chu to build more than a dozen power pipes.
