Chapter 19 One Ton and One Gram

Although the Hundred Refinement Furnace manifested by the thought was only at the level of a magic weapon, what Dong Qi did not expect was that the manifested Hundred Refinement Furnace was a top-grade magic weapon, with two independent spaces inside.

These are the refining space and the material storage space, respectively.

However, the material storage space can only store the refined materials and has no preservation capabilities.

Therefore, it can only store materials. If you store elixirs inside, their medicinal effects will slowly dissipate, and the medicinal power cannot be preserved.

Most importantly, this space is a one-way space. Once the materials stored inside are taken out, they cannot be directly stored back in unless they are refined again.

However, since it was an unexpected storage space, even though the internal space is only a dozen cubic meters in size and has many limitations, it's better to have it than nothing.

Seeing the data panel in his mind change again, Dong Qi realized that upgrading his natal item from a magic weapon to a magic treasure was much more difficult than upgrading it from an ordinary weapon to a magic weapon.

In addition, Dong Qi unexpectedly discovered that the Hundred Refinement Furnace, which was integrated into his natal artifact, was actually displayed on the data panel.

The seemingly unified data layout is actually divided into two unrelated parts.

The appearance of the Hundred Refinement Furnace in the upgrade panel indicates that Dong Qi has the ability to upgrade items, treating it as part of his destined items. In the future, he can also use materials to upgrade the Hundred Refinement Furnace.

This is a good thing for Dong Qi. He originally needed to consider how to obtain higher-grade materials once his natal item was upgraded to the level of a magic weapon.

Now that the quality of the Hundred Refinement Furnace can be improved, there will no longer be any need to worry about the availability of high-grade materials.

Now that he had obtained the Hundred Refinement Furnace, Dong Qi happened to have enough materials at home to refine it.

Gold that would normally be left to gather dust in a corner can now be used as test material.

Dong Qi didn't touch the neatly arranged gold bars and bricks. Instead, he took all the gold jewelry in the snakeskin bags that were lying in the corner.

Similar to when it devours vehicles, it only needs to get close to Dong Qi's natal vehicle to automatically absorb those bags of materials into the Hundred Refinement Furnace.

The refining process was much faster than Dong Qi had anticipated. In less than ten minutes, several bags of gold jewelry were quickly refined into high-grade materials.

Dong Qi never expected that several bags of gold jewelry weighing more than two tons would be transformed into 2.3 grams of refined gold after being refined in the hundred-refinement furnace.

If all materials are refined according to this ratio, then one ton of basic materials will be needed to refine one gram of advanced materials.

This "high-grade material" is only relative to the level of ordinary artifacts. If one upgrades their natal artifact to the level of a magic weapon, the so-called "high-grade material" will become just an ordinary material.

Although the Treasure Forging Technique is also a heterodox cultivation method, compared to other demonic cultivation techniques that require sacrificing one's life, whether it's sacrificing one's own or someone else's life, the Treasure Forging Technique only requires spending money.

Fortunately, since the upgrade of one's natal item is not yet necessary, high-grade materials like refined gold are not required. At least for now, refined iron is sufficient for the upgrade.

However, since these are upgrade materials, it's natural to stockpile as many as possible.

Just as Dong Qi was about to take out all the gold bars and bricks stored in the storage room and refine them, he suddenly felt a sense of resistance coming from his natal car.

Although the feeling wasn't strong, it was the first time it had occurred, so it still alerted Dong Qi.

I initially thought that my car was damaged in some parts when it was hit in the parking lot, but after a careful inspection, I found that the car was not damaged at all.

Dong Qi never expected that the source of his slight resistance was the fuel tank.

At this point, the fuel in the tank was almost empty.

It's worth noting that Dong Qi always makes sure to fill up the gas tank before going out to prevent any accidents.

Moreover, while absorbing other vehicles, some of the fuel in the tanks of some oil-filled vehicles is lost during the absorption process, but the remaining fuel is transferred to the fuel tank of the vehicle it is embracing.

When he got out of the car on the way back, Dong Qi subconsciously glanced at the fuel gauge, which showed that there was about 90% fuel left in the tank.

It should be noted that after three rounds of reinforcement, the fuel tank's capacity has exceeded two hundred liters, and now the fuel inside the tank has mysteriously disappeared.

However, Dong Qi instantly realized that when his thoughts materialized, the three furnaces clearly indicated the types of materials consumed during the refining process.

Dong Qi hadn't expected that refining materials would require so much oil.

Refining one ton of material requires about 100 liters of fuel, but if you think about it, compared to the consumption of some other high-end materials, the consumption of refining in a hundred-refinery furnace is actually not too high.

However, Dong Qi's family had only stocked up on three barrels of oil in advance. Although each barrel was a standard 200-liter oil barrel, the total amount of oil was only 600 liters.

The gold bars and bricks in the storage room totaled about twenty tons, far exceeding the amount of oil stored at home.

Fortunately, most people were still hiding in underground spaces, and the era of free shopping was not over yet.

Dong Qi immediately loaded the gold bars and bricks from the storage room back into the car, even though the fuel in the car's fuel tank was already empty.

However, the distance between Dong Qi's home and the gas station was not far. Most importantly, his car was a hybrid at this time, so even if the fuel in the tank was exhausted, the reserve power could still allow the car to travel thousands of kilometers.

Of course, the Hundred Refinery can also refine materials using electricity, but compared to oil, which can be replenished quickly, Dong Qi will basically only use the stored electricity in emergencies.

Dong Qi was very fortunate to find the tanker truck at the gas station, where all the refueling equipment had been paralyzed due to the EMP impact.

If no gas station is found, you can still get gas, but the process will be very troublesome.

Since fuel is also a material inside the vehicle, the upgrade system can automatically absorb it, and there is no need to physically fill the fuel tank with fuel.

After discovering that the Hundred Refinement Furnace had two independent spaces, Dong Qi initially wanted to try exploiting a bug to use the Hundred Refinement Furnace as a storage space.

However, after trying it, it was found that as long as the materials were sent into the refining space, the Hundred Refining Furnace would automatically start the refining function.

Furthermore, the Hundred Refinement Furnace has the highest priority for refining materials. Therefore, unless the fuel in the fuel tank of the vehicle runs out and the power is depleted, the materials in the Hundred Refinement Furnace will be supplied first unless the vehicle is completely disabled.
