Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 46 Zhang Qian's Ability
After the vessel was made, he processed the walnuts, removed the skins, and finally made them into granules.

After everything is prepared, I officially start cooking. Since I don’t know how much water to add, I can only try a little at a time.

The three of them gathered around the vessel and waited quietly.

As steam came out of the vent, a faint walnut aroma wafted into the air.

"It smells so good!" The three of them shouted at the same time and looked at each other with excitement.

……

However, the first cooking attempt failed. When Lu Yuning opened the lid, the water inside had evaporated, but the walnut kernels were still a little hard.

He had no choice but to add some water and continue cooking.

It was not until after adding water three times that the walnuts inside were almost softened.

Lu Yuning silently memorized the ratio of water and walnut granules. When cooking again later, it would not be so troublesome. She just needed to add water according to the ratio.

He carefully poured out the contents, and the liquid was a bit sticky, and it looked like it was real.

Looking at the walnut porridge in front of him, Zou Yunxin couldn't wait.

Lu Yuning quickly got out three bowls and spoons, and put a spoonful of sticky substance in each person's bowl.

Zou Yunxin poured it into his mouth and started eating without thinking.

He looked quite satisfied and commented, "What a nice smell! Haha, I don't have to chew walnuts dry anymore."

Seeing his reaction, Lu Yuning and Wu Xiao also hurriedly took a bite.

The first thing you taste is a walnut aroma, and the walnuts are a bit soft and glutinous. The taste is unexpectedly good.

After tasting it, the three of them hurriedly brought the remaining porridge into the tree hole.

Xu Qi and the other three were talking when they saw the three of them running in excitedly.

"Everyone, there's something delicious here. Our food has been upgraded!" Zou Yunxin shouted.

"Keep your voice down! I can hear you!" Zhang Xinyue naturally lectured him again.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm a little excited. Come, try it. This is a new recipe we developed." Zou Yunxin lowered his voice and continued to recommend the new products they made.

After saying that, he handed everything in his hand to Zhang Xinyue.

Zhang Xinyue took the thing over and immediately smelled a fragrance, and was a little surprised.

"What is this." Zhang Xinyue asked.

"It's made of walnuts. Divide them among yourselves." Lu Yuning explained, and then handed over the prepared eating utensils in his hand.

"It looks good. You really put a lot of thought into it, Yu Ning." Zhang Xinyue did not forget to tease him.

"Patients still need to be taken care of. We have tried it and it tastes good. You can try it." Lu Yuning smiled.

Xu Qi blushed as she listened to the conversation between the two, but she was also a little curious.

Zhang Xinyue poured a bowl of porridge from the pot, first handed it to Xu Lele, then got another bowl for Xu Qi, and finally divided the rest with Zhang Qian.

"It's delicious! I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time! Sister, please try it." Xu Lele was obviously very satisfied after tasting it.

Xu Qi smiled and quickly tasted it, then her face showed surprise, and then she ate the rest.

Finally, she gave her own review: "Delicious!"

The four of them gave it a unanimous praise. Seeing that everyone was still unsatisfied, Lu Yuning and the other two ran out to prepare another pot.

Today can be said to be the most satisfying meal that the few of them have had since the end of the world.

Walnuts are rich in nutrients and can make you feel full. It seems that walnut porridge can be added to the new menu of the camp in the future.

This walnut was given by a chipmunk, which means there are wild pecan trees in the park, but we don't know where they are.

But it should be nearby, after all, the chipmunk's range of activity is limited.

It seems that I need to ask it to get some more in the future. This thing has a long shelf life and there is no need to worry about it going bad. It is perfect for storing food, Lu Yuning thought silently.

After they had their fill of food and drink, they started chatting, and the shelter suddenly became lively.

Xu Qi couldn't help but sigh that compared with the pavilion, this place was simply heaven.

Not only is it crowded there, but due to personal hygiene issues, the odor in the bottles is getting stronger and stronger, but there is no good way to deal with it.

As more people come, more things will naturally happen.

As they chatted, Xu Qi suddenly thought of a question and asked, "How did you help me reduce my fever? Did you use Sister Qian's special ability?"

"Yu Ning thought of this at first, but Sister Qian said that her ability can only isolate the temperature, not dissipate heat, so in the end she could only use warm water sponge bath to help you cool down physically. Fortunately, the effect is good." Zhang Xinyue explained.

"Oh, by the way, I didn't have time to ask before, Sister Qian, how do you use your special abilities?" Lu Yuning asked.

When Zhang Qian mentioned superpowers before, he was a little confused, but he was busy at the time and had no time to study it. Now he came to his senses and hurriedly asked.

"Let me demonstrate to you, for example, this bowl of hot water." Zhang Qian pointed to the bowl full of hot water in her hand, and then continued.

"I can isolate its heat." After she said that, her mind moved, and the hot water in front of her immediately stopped steaming.

She continued, "Actually, it's still hot. The principle is probably that a heat-insulating layer is formed on the surface of the object, so the heat of the object cannot be transferred to the outside world."

Lu Yuning was about to speak, but Zhang Qian continued:
"Actually, it can be restored. I didn't say this before. I only discovered it later. You can take as long as you want to restore it, and you can control the strength of the insulation." After saying that, she looked at the bowl in her hand again. A wisp of steam came out of the hot water again. The steam was intermittent at first, but then it completely returned to its original state.

After watching her demonstration, Lu Yuning opened his mouth wide, and then his expression gradually became excited. He slapped his thigh and jumped up.

Everyone was startled.

"Damn! Who said your special ability is useless!" He actually swore, which was rare.

Zhang Xinyue had already reacted and looked excited.

Others were still a little confused.

Seeing the expressions of the others, Lu Yuning explained, "Sister Qian's ability is more accurately called heat preservation. This ability may not be very useful to others, but it is a key ability for us."

"We now have the ability to make objects heat up. The main problem is that we need Lao Zou to continuously output his supernatural power, which in itself is a limitation on his supernatural power."

"But with Sister Qian's ability, the heat from Old Zou's conversion can be preserved. When we have enough metal in the future, we can store energy in large quantities."

"Of course, that alone isn't enough to excite me. The most powerful aspect of this ability is that it can control the intensity of heat release."

"If we use an electric drive system as an analogy, it's like having a frequency converter that can control the motor speed."

"Combined with my abilities, it will be possible to realize steam automation equipment." Lu Yuning paused and concluded solemnly.

　Thank you everyone for your recommendation votes.
