Genshin Impact: Starting from Liyue to Build Infrastructure

After Keqing understood the pros and cons, she went out to make arrangements with the stove Takumi made.

She asked someone to build the cooktop according to the structure of the stove.

Keqing stepped out.

When Qian Yanjun's people saw what she was holding, they hurried forward.

"Master Keqing, let me help."

Keqing shook her head. "No need. I can do it myself. You can carry on with your duties."

After saying that, she walked away.

Seeing this, Qian Yanjun's people remained silent and returned to their posts. They all knew what kind of person Keqing was. If she said no, she meant it. She preferred to handle things on her own without relying on others.

Keqing carried the stove made by Takumi and approached the workers who were building the camp.

"Everyone, stop for a moment," she called out. "I have something good to introduce to you."

Hearing Keqing's words, the workers halted their tasks and turned to look at her. When they saw what she was carrying, many of them were confused.

"Is this a stove?" some murmured.

Keqing placed the stove down and began explaining. "From now on, you will use this to cook. You won't have to search for firewood anymore. When the fire is burning, just catch a slime and place it inside."

She relayed what Takumi had told her earlier.

After listening to Keqing, the workers were curious. "Master Keqing, won't this explode? I've heard that slimes can detonate."

Keqing nodded. "If the temperature rises too much and it's about to explode, just pour a basin of water inside. It won't explode. It's a simple solution."

Hearing this, the workers were stunned. "Is that so? It actually works?"

For a while, they discussed among themselves.

Keqing pointed to the gentle terrain nearby and the pile of firewood not far away. "If we rely on firewood, it must be transported from Liyue Harbor daily. That's troublesome, isn't it? With this new method, most of the problems will be solved. Also, ice slimes can be used to keep food fresh. I will request the Adventurers' Guild to issue a task for people to help capture slimes."

Takumi had truly maximized the use of slimes. As he had said, Teyvat had many untapped resources. It was a pity not to use them efficiently. Keqing hoped Takumi would continue to bring more innovations.

After making these arrangements, Keqing wandered around the construction site. Work was already underway. The people Takumi had gathered at the meeting were leading their teams in clearing the area.

Some were setting up tents, while others were taking measurements. Keqing began handling smaller matters, such as hygiene. The toilets needed proper construction. She did not want to see waste contaminating the area, as it could lead to disease—something she absolutely would not tolerate.

As someone who often visited construction sites, she understood these details well. While Takumi handled the bigger picture, she took care of the finer aspects.

Meanwhile, Takumi was also busy writing.

For instance, he noted how fire-type slimes could be used not just for cooking but also for heating. Water slimes had significant potential—they could purify and produce water. A water filtration plant could be built with slimes inside, ensuring high-quality water. A sewage treatment facility could also be constructed, using slimes to purify waste before expelling it.

As for waste management, rock slimes could convert garbage into stone, which could then be transported to the Chasm for repurposing. This was an excellent idea—filling the Chasm's depths with stone and allowing the area to continue ore production for Liyue's benefit.

Grass-type slimes could be used for farming, particularly in Qingce Village. This was something Ningguang could oversee.

Thunder slimes had an even simpler role: generating electricity. However, electrical appliances needed to be developed first. Without appliances, electricity had no purpose. This required integrating Teyvat's alchemy with electrical technology. Perhaps Albedo could be invited to assist.

For power storage, electro crystals could be used. Liyue had a good supply, but Inazuma had even more. However, with Inazuma's closed borders, this was not an immediate concern.

Wind slimes had great potential, too—they could purify air and cool cities during summer.

In fact, if communication with Hilichurls was possible, they could even be employed for labor. Strong Hilichurl thugs could move bricks, and the Hilichurl King could act as a construction leader. The possibilities were endless.

Takumi wrote down all his thoughts.

At the same time, he prioritized the water filtration plant. Guili Plains had no shortage of water resources, so a reservoir wasn't necessary. They simply needed a facility to distribute clean water to the new city.

As for the garbage disposal plant, it should be built outside the city. After rock slimes finished converting waste, the stones could be repurposed.

Alternatively, the disposal site could be established in a different location, similar to Mt. Tianheng. Once the waste was processed, it could be transported to the Chasm for disposal.

This matter needed Ningguang's input. For now, Takumi documented these ideas and planned to send them to her.

He wondered how long it would take to construct the city in Guili Plains. It could be a long time. For now, it was best to let Ningguang test these concepts first. If they succeeded, it would be a great benefit to Liyue.

After finishing his notes, Takumi approached Verr Goldet, the owner of Wangshu Inn.

"Boss, can you have someone deliver this letter to Ningguang?"

Hearing Takumi's words, Verr Goldet blinked in surprise. "Does he know?"
