Global Online Survival Chapter 37

With so many magnets, he wasn't calling it a day after just making a little compass.
Ye Jun had greater plans.
He was going to build a small generator.
The principle of a generator wasn't complicated. It was a coil that constantly cut lines of magnetic flux, creating electromagnetic induction that would be converted into electric current.
The key point was to have magnets.
As for the coils, Ye Jun had so much copper in his hands that it was easy to forge them.
Ye Jun took out a copper ingot and hammered it furiously, creating a copper ring and coil.
The next step was to make the generator.
Ye Jun didn't have electrical appliances, so the generator didn't need to be too big or output a lot of current, it just needed to be able to light up a few light bulbs and charge his practice of lightning spells in passing. The electric ray's bioelectricity still wasn't stable enough.
Making a generator wasn't difficult; nine years of compulsory education was enough.
Ye Jun was thankful for the arts and craft classes he had as a child, giving him plenty of experience.
First, grind out two round magnets, one as big as a plate and the other a little smaller, both of which were circular with a hollow center.
Put a cover on the brass ring and secure it to the larger piece of magnet.
Then, solder two iron handles to the small magnetic ring and place it on the brass ring.
A small generator was done.
The two magnetic rings formed a magnetic field. It only took a cutting motion with a copper wire in the magnetic field to produce an electric current.
He wrapped the copper wire prepared earlier around the outside with a cloth to act as a wire.
Ye Jun came to the bilge to retrieve the solar bulb.
This thing was just chickensh*t.
In broad daylight, the brighter the sun, the brighter it was, dazzling to the eyes.
It died out in the evening, leaving Ye Jun to go to bed early.
He modified the bulb slightly and wired it up.

Then he gave the small magnetic ring on the generator a flick.
Zizi…
The small magnetic ring spun quickly.
This was the magnetic effect where the small magnetic ring repelled the magnetic field of the larger ring, but gravity kept the small ring from flying out, so it just kept spinning until the magnetic force was gone before it stopped.
There was a saying in middle school physics class that "motion is relative".
The coil didn't move, but the ring moved, which meant the coil made a cutting motion in the magnetic field, and thus current was born.
As expected, the bulb glowed brightly, illuminating the entire deck.
"Congratulations, you've succeeded in generating electricity and gained the title of Great Scientist. Reward: +10 Lightning Affinity, +10 Strength, +10 Spirit."
At the same time, a world announcement was prompted: "Player Ye Jun (Death Mode) has succeeded in generating electricity and gained the title of Great Scientist. Fire is the beginning of human civilization, and electricity is the ladder of civilization."
Countless people were chatting and making dirty jokes on the world channel.
The moment the announcement appeared, it was like a nuclear carpet-bombing. There was instant silence.
It took about ten seconds before it came back to life, and countless people were shocked.
"Generate electricity? Did I hear right!"
"What the f**k… I haven't even learned how to drill wood for fire yet, and you're living with electricity?"
"It's as if I can feel the gap between a primitive society and modern civilization. I eat raw food all day long and live like a primitive man, while Almighty Ye is already a Great Scientist. Between Almighty Ye and I, there might be a difference of 10000 years!"
"Then wouldn't Almighty Ye be looking at us the same way aliens look at inhabitants of Bluestar and how inhabitants of Bluestar look at monkeys?"
"The clown turned out to be me…"
More people were incredulous, saying, "I just wonder, how did Almighty Ye do it? Is he cheating?"
"I also think so. Isn't Almighty Ye in Death Mode? He is not even putting survival as his main priority. He is just trying to make things that generate electricity. Maybe something to charge a phone? Game master, I want to report someone playing with the phone…"

Someone also came out and explained, "It's actually not that hard to generate electricity. It's very easy to make a small generator as long as you have the materials."
"Yes, I learned how to make a generator in my middle school physics class. It can be done with just magnets and coils. But why didn't I think of it? Hey, even if I did, I can't make it without magnets, not to mention that I can't even fill my stomach every day, what do I need electricity for?"
"Any big shots want to give a lesson. I've been herding sheep since the fifth grade, and I never went to middle school."
"I did go to middle school, but I got kicked out of school in the second year for knocking up a female classmate before I could take physics."
"The one upstairs is impressive. There was an even more impressive person at my school who knocked up his teacher."
"That's my dad attending a parent-teacher conference accidentally… Forget it. I've been missing my teacher for 2365 days."
Homemade generators weren't hard to make, and there was nothing to keep secret. Soon, tutorials were posted and all sorts of simple template models for generators were pasted onto the channel.
A power generation boom was stirred up.
It was like the craze for drilling wood for fire when the game first started.
Many people were counting on power generation to gain Lightning Affinity and follow the path of a Lightning Mage.
After Ye Jun got the world announcement, he was naturally browsing the threads in the chat channels, but he didn't show up and talk to avoid being called a humblebragger and show off.
Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of magnets, or he could certainly make a fortune selling them to people for them to make generators.
He was sure that someone else would soon be making generators.
Ye Jun was like a forerunner, providing a direction, and the rest would be much easier. As for magnets, they were available all over the world, surely some players would find them.
Ye Jun moved the generator into the cabin, then nailed a nail into the ceiling and hung the bulb on it.
From then on, the cabin was as bright as day, day and night.
The small magnetic ring on the generator was still spinning fast, and as long as the magnet's magnetic force was not gone, the spinning would not stop, nor would the power generation.
Ye Jun put his hand on it and immediately felt a weak current entering his body.
"+2 Electrical Energy, +2 Electrical Energy, +2 Electrical Energy…"
In the past, Ye Jun could only absorb 10 points of Electrical Energy a day, but now that he had received the reward, his Lightning Affinity had increased by 10 points so now he was able to absorb 20 points of Electrical Energy.
"+2 Electrical Energy. Congratulations +1 Lightning Level, reward: +10 Strength +10 Endurance."
Ye Jun opened his attribute panel, and his attributes had changed.
Player: Ye Jun (Death Mode)
Titles Obtained: Intermediate Builder, Beginner Forger, Shark Terrorizer, Beginner Planter, Great Scientist.
Beginner Flame Controller. Fire Energy Level: 3 (120/300)
Flame Affinity: 10.
Beginner Hunter.
Hunter Level: 6 (47/600)
Beginner Lightning Controller. Lightning Level: 2 (1/200)
Lightning Affinity: 20.
Skill: Fireball
Skill: Palm Thunder
Endurance: 150, Speed: 130, Strength: 472, Spirit: 110.
In addition to the title of Great Scientist, there was also an additional column for Spirit.
The spirit attitude had never appeared before, and the fact that his Spirit was 110 points meant that before that, Ye Jun's Spirit had been 100 points. Without knowing what other people's spiritual power was, Ye Jun reckoned that ordinary people all had around 100 points.
Ye Jun surmised that Spirit might be related to intelligence, but he just didn't know how to improve it.

A Nation of Distances (possibly a dystopian love story)
Michael lives in a toxic macho world with extreme male hierarchy. When he gets a weird rating that makes his place even more problematic he's forced to choose a fiancée at a Wife School, and he slowly discovers more about the other side of the great divide between the sexes in The Nation. If only the world would stop being so complicated... On the other side there's Megan, who's more interested in books than in marriage, and the unpredictable Eliza who seems to have a connection with Micheal already. Will they be able to cross the distance and become friends against all the rules of their own world, or will they just be crushed? Are positive relationships between men and women even possible? And is there a way to change the world or is that just a naive thought of a silly wimp? 'A Nation of Distances' is a slightly dystopian dialogue-heavy drama set in a low sci-fi future setting about the war between the sexes, disconnect and friendship. The genre will fluctuate in between more slice-of-life parts and soft sci-fi drama with possible romantic elements, with alternating lead and switching perspectives once more of the main characters are established. Content Warning: Certain concepts and scenes might be disturbing and/or triggering to some, even though the story itself won't be extremely heavy most of the time. Sexism as a double-edged sword destructive to both sexes is an important part of the story, but so is friendship.Note that all descriptions of persons and places are purely fictional and made up by the writer, and any resemblance with anything in the real world is a coincidence, since the real world is not supposed to be dystopian anyway!

The Twin Lands
Join our heroine Enru on her journey in a world where humanity lives in perpetual light and warm while their enemies, the spider beings called Araxin, live in perpetual darkness and cold. Just because they live in the darkness and cold though doesn’t mean the Araxin want to stay there forever however, and this time their bid for the Southern half of the continent looks to be shaping up worse for humanity than ever before. Every ten years the planet nears its second sun in such a way that the Northern half of the continent warms and thaws and the Araxin enter a period of explosive growth, before always attempting to assault the humans in the South. Through events that you will need to read and discover yourself, sixteen year old Enru ends up vital to the survival of humanity, but can she succeed? In a world full of humans, dragons, giant intelligent spiders, trogs, behemoths lurking in the deep, magic, politics (can’t forget the politics) and more, what wonders await you? NOTE: This is my very first attempt at writing ever. Not just my first attempt I am showing people or my first attempt that went anywhere, but my first of any kind. I welcome constructive critisism and I know my grammar is not always the best. If something is majorly bothering you please leave a good comment or review on it rather than just a 0.5 rating and saying I suck. NOTE2: The main character will be gaining power that is, if used correctly, well above the standard for her race however I plan to implement it in such a way that she does not end up being crazy over powered and able to end every fight at her whim. She will struggle, she will lose sometimes and there will be loss along her journey to save her race. There will be no harem and I am unsure if there will be any sex scenes or even romance as this is my first story and I am not confident yet at being able to write that properly. So if you came here for the standard royalroad super OP guy that flies around having sex with every female character he meets, this is not that. Update Frequency: As this is my first story and I am still in the early stages, I cannot say how often updates will be. I lead a very busy life and this is a new way for me to relieve stress. I hope to be able to put out a few thousand words every few days at the least. Enjoy the story! PS. Cover was found on the website thedailybell.com, they did not source where they found it. I rotated and resized the image.
