Chapter 79

Takumi had many ideas.

With the success of the power station, various strange ideas surfaced.

For example, charging a Vision.

Force charging, to be precise.

After all, using a Vision's ultimate move required energy.

It would suddenly drain the Vision's power.

To recover, one had to rely on elemental skills in battle to regenerate energy or wait for natural replenishment.

This was different from how it worked in the game.

So, could the Electro Vision be charged at any time?

It was time for Keqing to test it.

Driving the car with Shenhe, Takumi quickly returned to Guili Plains.

By the time he arrived at the transformer station, Albedo was no longer there.

Seeing this, one of the Qianyan soldiers stepped forward and reported:

"Mr. Albedo has returned to the alchemy workshop."

"He said he had some inspiration."

Hearing this, Takumi raised an eyebrow.

"I see."

"I'll go find him."

After glancing at the transformer station and confirming everything was fine, Takumi left immediately.

Shenhe hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at Albedo's workshop, he was deeply engrossed in research.

Instead, Klee, who had been studying explosives, jumped up excitedly.

"Brother Takumi!"

Seeing Klee, Takumi smiled.

"Klee, you're doing well."

Hearing the voices, Albedo looked up.

He immediately spoke:

"Takumi."

"Since Electro energy can travel quickly through wires, could sound do the same?"

"By compressing sound to a certain frequency and transmitting it through a wire, could we achieve long-distance communication?"

Albedo had just thought of this possibility.

Hearing this, Takumi laughed.

Albedo had actually thought of this?

As expected of him.

Thinking of this, he said:

"That direction is correct."

"Electricity is indeed a promising field of research."

"Have you studied the Electro element in detail?"

"There are actually many types of electricity."

"In our world, there is something called electromagnetic waves."

"They are oscillating particle waves generated by electric and magnetic fields, perpendicular to each other."

"Although the physics of Teyvat differ, some principles might still apply."

"Perhaps you could research it further?"

Hearing Takumi's words, Albedo's eyes lit up.

"Interesting."

"I would love to explore this further."

"Maybe we could use these principles to develop the network you mentioned."

With this new thought, Albedo couldn't contain his excitement.

He wanted to figure it out immediately.

Seeing this, Takumi didn't hesitate and shared some of the physics knowledge he had learned.

Perhaps, these concepts could work in Teyvat.

Even if this world was unscientific.

After all, electricity here was not truly electricity but the Electro element.

But the fundamental differences might not be too great.

While listening to Takumi, Albedo occasionally asked questions.

Their discussion became deeply engaging.

Meanwhile, Klee almost fell asleep from boredom.

She eventually left to play outside.

Shenhe, unable to understand the discussion, also left to find her master.

Unexpectedly, when Cloud Retainer heard about Takumi and Albedo's research, she became interested as well.

She immediately joined in.

This left Shenhe feeling helpless.

In the end, she returned to Wangshu Inn to wait.

Cloud Retainer's addition didn't bother Takumi or Albedo.

She had some knowledge of alchemy and understood parts of their discussion.

She occasionally asked insightful questions.

She was also highly intrigued by Takumi's research.

So she shared many of her own insights as well.

Thus, the three of them continued their discussion until evening.

The lights were on.

Guili Plains remained bright at night.

After dinner, everyone was still busy.

After finishing his discussion with Albedo and Cloud Retainer, Takumi prepared to return to Wangshu Inn for dinner.

However, on his way back, he saw several Qianyan soldiers running hurriedly.

Along the way, Takumi overheard discussions about Hilichurls.

Raising an eyebrow, Takumi muttered:

"So there are still Hilichurls causing trouble?"

A bit troublesome.

But Takumi didn't think too much about it.

The Qianyan Army should be able to handle it.

Shaking his head, he walked into Wangshu Inn.

Klee and Shenhe were already at the dinner table.

As for Keqing, she was likely still working overtime and hadn't returned yet.

There was no need to wait for her.

She would eat when she was hungry.

While eating, Klee couldn't help but ask Takumi:

"Brother Takumi, when are we going to Shimen?"

"I'm so bored!"

She hadn't blown anything up lately.

She was tired of fishing explosions.

Now, she wanted to blow up a mountain.

Hearing Klee's words, Takumi found it amusing.

"In a few days."

"I have some things to finish first."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely take you there."

Hearing this, Klee nodded, though she was a little disappointed.

It was a shame she couldn't go tomorrow.

But this gave her time to develop new explosives.

She thought her bouncing bombs could be even stronger!

Thinking of this, Klee focused back on her dinner.

Just as the three were eating, Keqing returned.

She sat down without a word and began eating quickly, not caring about the leftovers on the table.

Seeing this, Takumi called the waiter.

"Please ask Yanxiao to prepare two cold dishes."

Hearing Takumi's request, the waiter nodded.

"I'll arrange it right away."

Then, he hurried off.

Hearing this, Keqing slowed down her eating pace and began discussing work with Takumi.

Takumi was no longer surprised.

Keqing was always the first to start and the last to finish work.

She was exactly what people called the "Workaholic of Teyvat."

Listening to her work report, Takumi nodded.

Everything seemed fine.

While Takumi was busy with the power station, the Qianyan Army had arrested many Treasure Hoarders.

Additionally, Hilichurl activity had increased lately.

Earlier, the Qianyan Army had discovered new Hilichurl camps, which was why they rushed out immediately.
