God Of Crafting

As much as I wished to indulge in Claire's live performance of direct, intimate ASMR…

This still wasn't yet the time for us to just enjoy ourselves as we wished and desired.

Until the very moment, we would all have to leave the area to isolate Chihiro during his attempt at breaking through, we had to do our very best to raise his odds as much as we possibly could.

And so, while the temptation couldn't be greater, with the supplies I needed to do my part now coming in, we simply couldn't afford to waste our time on just a bonding experience.

"As embarrassing as it is to say, I wouldn't mind having it for a reward once we are done with all of this," I admitted while stealing a glance at Claire's face.

By now, we pretty much did everything a young and horny couple would do given as much time we were together.

In other words, I've already seen everything that there was to see, and lived through most of the stuff that we could do to each other… And yet, even now, even after everything, just the thought of Claire being all over me while giving me a live performance of the intense kind of ASMR I used to listen to was enough to make me blush all over and act like a virgin that would get a nose-bleed merely from a single glance of Claire's breast!

"Then…" Claire muttered, only to cut her words short as she simply grinned while looking at my face.

"I'm already starting to worry… Just go easy on me, will you?" I requested only to reach out and rustle Claire's hair with my hand, enjoying the sense of pride from how Claire not only allowed me to do it but apparently enjoyed the small caress herself!

"Oh, you just wait and see that I won't!" she rebelled while putting just the most adorable look of playful refusal on her face.

As much as I wished I could just keep on bickering with her like that, the time waited for no one. And now that the workers brought in the materials necessary for me to craft the air filters I included in my designs, there was no further excuse for us to keep on slacking.

"I guess I will be looking forward to it, then," I closed the topic by both expressing my anticipation but also by grabbing Claire's hand and then pulling her ahead, out of the room I've already assigned for my future office and back down to the factory's main floor.

"Oh! Sir! Where do you want us to deliver those boxes for you?" one of the workers shouted as soon as he caught sight of the two of us moving down the stairs.

"There's this former freezer near the factory core, leave all of them there!" I called right back only to then direct my steps towards the very freezer I mentioned, which has now become nothing more but another empty room of the factory, with the added benefit of there already being proper infrastructure for it to serve as yet another enclosed space within the factory where one could be a little more secretive than they would be in the open part of the factory.

Yet, even though I was already rushing to get to work myself, we didn't even get to reach the place I would adopt for a temporary workshop when yet another idea popped up in my head.

"You know, now that I think about it, isn't it a waste to just blow all of the air through the anchor and then just suck it all out?" I thought as I imagined the whole process we were designed to happen in the factory in search of any sort of problems that could still pop out.

"What else can you do with it, though?" Claire asked, lowering her voice to the point where even I had to struggle to decipher it from the bunch of noises caused by all the work and the workers moving around to complete their jobs.

"What if we looked at it like… a furnace? Or an engine, to be more precise?" I suggested, rubbing my chin as I stood by the entrance of what used to be the freezer, watching how the workers brought all sorts of boxes inside. "What do you think would happen if, rather than just throwing this once-used air… what if we were to somehow reuse it?"

This was the absolute peak of what I could figure out after drilling my thoughts into this topic ever since I finalized the main blueprint.

"You mean…" Claire hesitated a bit, "like, an afterburner? A second burn of what we would otherwise vacuum away to maintain the flow?" she asked while squinting her eyes.

"Yeah… I'm thinking… what if we added two side channels that would draw the used air away… only to then use the same principle as the one used in the vacuum paint sprayers to infuse this air right back into the air that we feed directly from the reversed AC?"

Claire's face contorted a bit.

"What vacuum principle?" she asked, clearly unfamiliar with the peculiar rule in physics that found quite an interesting use in several devices I was aware of.

"The rule is that moving air has lower pressure than air that either doesn't move or moves slower. So, if we just use some fans or the AC to suck the air out of the system…"

I moved my hands through the air as if to paint the flow of the air within the system on the space itself.

"Once we suck it out, we push it back through the side channels…" I muttered while rolling my hands and then pushing them away, only to then roll them right back and clap them together. "Then, we just… add the exhaust right at the spot where the air was originally supposed to come from before getting infused with QI and then purified…"

The more I thought about it, the better of an idea it appeared to be.

The main reason why this place could become an ace in Chihiro's sleeve was because it allowed one to be exposed to the constant flow of qi-rich and extremely pure air through the one spot where one would cultivate.

Yet, even for the cultivator of Chihiro's level, I failed to believe he could fully take all the Qi out of the air in the single instant that it passed through… and then keep doing so for as long as he remained within the anchor of the system.

That's why, rather than blowing all this air still filled with some degree of purified Qi… wouldn't it be better to just feed it back into the system, introducing only enough fresh air into it to keep it breathable?

"What if we used one of the flows as you described and then the other to add on to the formation?" Claire suggested, proving that while her level of expertise on the topic was even below mine, she still did have her cultivator's common sense!

"Oh right, I completely forgot that the formations should be charged too," I muttered, only to then face an issue, right as the workers started to leave the freezer area upon dropping all the boxes there.

"How do I actually infuse spiritual energy into an air-circulation system?"
