184: A legendary brewery! Two different brewing recipes.

Huh? It suddenly got so hot!

Su Lie looked up at the window, only to see the scorching, bright sunlight illuminating the courtyard.

He wiped away the sweat dripping down his forehead.

He turned his head to look around and saw several Little Skeleton from the Exploration Team standing guard at the entrance.

Su Lie immediately called out to the Little Skeleton: "Go outside and bring some ice ball over! Also, warn those two Snowflake Pig not to slack off!"

Whoosh!

The Little Skeleton acknowledged the order and quickly ran outside, dragging a bamboo tube.

Only then did Su Lie look towards the blueprint for the Brewery Workshop.

[Brewery Workshop: White Ordinary; Creates a workshop capable of producing liquor based on brewing recipes. Manpower required: 20; Plant size: 30 meters long, 20 meters wide, 9 meters high;

Construction Cost: 100,000 units of Stone, 50,000 units of wood, 50,000 units of iron, 50,000 units of monster crystal.

Note: This Brewery Workshop utilizes a basic Rune Array Formation combined with mechanical constructs for its brewing process, requiring a certain amount of monster crystal for each operation.

Note: Operating the workshop requires consuming 5 level 0 monster crystal daily as the energy source for operating the Rune Array Formation, which can sustain the workshop's machinery operation for 24 hours.]

"Build it!"

Su Lie strode over to the side of the white sugar workshop.

Just then.

Su Liuhua had just walked out of it. After seeing Su Lie, she happily ran back into the workshop.

By the time Su Lie prepared the materials and was about to use the Brewery Workshop construction blueprint.

Su Liuhua approached Su Lie with quick steps: "Master! Have a taste!"

As she spoke, she brought her tightly clenched fist close to Su Lie's eyes, and then slowly opened it.

Su Lie looked down and saw that she was holding a handful of white sugar.

Su Lie laughed: "Alright!"

Saying that, he opened his mouth.

Su Liuhua, understanding his intention, poured the sugar in her hand into Su Lie's mouth.

After chewing, Su Lie felt the sugar was exceptionally sweet, and it wasn't the artificial sweetness of saccharin, but a delicious sweetness that reached his heart.

This feeling greatly stimulated his taste buds.

"Sweet to the heart! Very good!"

Su Lie looked at Su Liuhua in front of him and praised her with a smile.

Su Liuhua was even happier upon hearing this. She excitedly looked at Su Lie and said: "Master! Do you want more? I'll go get some!"

*Rumble!*

At this moment, a large Brewery Workshop, 30 meters long, 20 meters wide, and 9 meters high, had been successfully constructed and materialized before Su Lie's eyes.

Su Lie's eyes lit up. He said to Su Liuhua: "Not yet! Come on! Come inside with me to take a look!"

"Mhm!"

Su Liuhua followed him in curiously.

The first thing that caught their eye inside the Brewery Workshop was a set of streamlined equipment.

Rune formations were engraved on this set of equipment, and it wasn't that each piece of equipment had its own set, but rather the entire streamlined setup constituted one complete Rune formation.

If they were separated, the entire formation would cease to function.

The equipment near the entrance was the crushing equipment. It could crush raw materials like sorghum and wheat into uniform particles suitable for brewing.

Next was the steaming equipment. It could gelatinize the grains through steaming and possessed the ability to prevent the grain particles from scorching during the steaming process, while also improving thermal efficiency.

Following that were the koji-making and fermentation equipment.

The koji-making equipment was connected to the Koji Room, a separate room that served as a temperature and humidity-controlled fermentation chamber, specifically used for making the yeast starter for fermentation.

The room adopted a fully enclosed management method, allowing the yeast starter in the fermentation chamber to be regulated via the equipment's main control, and then transported to other equipment via the Rune formation.

The fermentation vessels, on the other hand, were fermentation tanks made of a special kind of steel, capable of controlling temperature and equipped with a stirring function.

Finally, there was the distillation, filtration, and blending equipment.

The entire workshop could achieve semi-automated operation.

The final step allowed the brewed liquor to be packaged and canned.

However, this required corresponding elemental stone as raw material.

This set of equipment allowed for self-setting the size of the containers to be manufactured.

After the workshop's liquor was produced according to the settings.

Workers were needed to transport the liquor to the storage location.

However.

Currently, the workshop did not have space to store the liquor.

After touring the facility, Su Lie activated the main control Rune Array Formation. He saw on the workshop's control screen that the workshop could indeed learn brewing recipes autonomously, but it wouldn't consume the recipe. Instead, it would obtain the method for brewing that type of liquor by duplicating the recipe.

And then proceed with the brewing work based on this duplicated recipe.

"Huh! I didn't expect it could do this! Haha! This truly is a pleasant surprise after a period of doubt! I was already prepared to discard this blueprint, but I didn't realize the Brewery Workshop's usage of blueprints was different from other workshops!"

Su Lie laughed after seeing this.

After exiting, he used Enhance on the Winery.

*Buzz!*

Ten seconds later, the entire Winery emitted a dazzling red light.

Su Lie, standing at the entrance, noticed that the Rune Array Formation patterns on all the Winery's equipment had become more intricate.

The Winery was different from the sugar production workshop.

After the sugar production workshop was Strengthened to god-tier quality.

It gained an extra production line and several additional functions.

The Winery did not gain an extra production line; instead, the Winery's Rune formation became more complex.

Su Lie walked in again.

This time, next to the liquor packaging equipment at the end of the workshop, he saw a gently sloping passage leading underground.

Through this passage, the liquor could be transported underground.

After touring around, Su Lie discovered that the Winery's basement actually had 3 levels, and each level had designated areas for placing wine jars and wine racks already built.

Furthermore, the underground levels had independent temperature control Rune Array Formation that could maintain the temperature of each basement level by continuously consuming monster crystal.

Su Lie was overjoyed by this sight. After exiting, he finally looked at the Winery's panel.

[Brewery Workshop: red god-tier; 30 meters long; 20 meters wide; 9 meters high;

Cellar: 3 levels, each 5 meters high, 30 meters long, 20 meters wide;

Fully Automated Rune Array Formation Brewery Workshop, daily output 10 tons, daily grain consumption 60 tons, liquor yield: 1 jin of sauce-aroma baijiu per 5 jin of grain; 1 jin of light-aroma baijiu per 2 jin of grain;

Function: Brewing recipes can be duplicated through the main control platform.

Consumption: 500 monster crystal consumed for 24 hours of full-power operation;

Requirement: 10 workers.

Special Effect—Selectable Quality: The quality of the liquor produced by the Winery can be chosen, minimum Ordinary quality, maximum god-tier quality.

Special Effect—Brewing Rate: Brewing speed increased by 100 times.

Special Effect—Millennium Cellar Storage: The cellar pools possess ancient microbial colonies and diverse micro-ecologies over a thousand years old, required for four flavors: strong aroma, sauce aroma, light aroma, and phoenix aroma. Different ecological communities can be adjusted according to flavor requirements.

Special Effect—Automatic Monitoring: The workshop's machinery, microbial colony environment, Rune Array Formation, and other aspects will all be under the automatic monitoring status of the main control Rune formation. Warnings will be issued if there are any problems.

Special Effect—Consumable Repair: If the workshop has maintenance issues, it can be automatically repaired by consuming a specified amount of materials.]

"Millennium Cellar Storage... The liquor produced by this Winery, even if it's only Ordinary quality, would be a rare treasure!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up after seeing this, filled with excitement.

He hurriedly took out the green Fine quality sorghum wine brewing recipe.

[sorghum wine brewing recipe: Fine Quality; Sauce Aroma Requirements: 2 liters of water, 10 liters of auxiliary cooling water, 5 kilograms of sorghum, 1.2 kilograms of wheat.

Note: The kaoliang liquor produced using this recipe possesses a special effect.

Note: The better the water and auxiliary cooling water used for the kaoliang liquor, the better the quality of the liquor.]

"Good! With this kaoliang liquor recipe, the Winery can start operating!"

Su Lie smirked, immediately entered the Winery, and used the sorghum wine brewing recipe.

After usage.

A notification appeared on the recipe.

[Note: This recipe has been taken by the Winery and cannot be used in other Winery. It is only applicable for private brewing use.]

Su Lie looked at the notification and put the recipe away.

He immediately took out the fierce beast wine brewing recipe, which Su Lie had already Strengthened to god-tier quality.

It required god-tier quality pure grain liquor plus god-tier quality fierce beast bone and god-tier quality fierce beast blood, plus god-tier quality red dates, to be refined.

Its function was that drinking 100 grams of the liquor daily could increase the four attributes—Life, Spirit, Stamina, and Speed—by 1,000 attribute points.

When he placed the fierce beast wine recipe on the Rune formation of the main control panel.

A notification appeared.

"This recipe is for steeping finished liquor and cannot be used in the workshop!"

Only after seeing this did Su Lie realize that there were differences in liquor recipes.

He then put away the fierce beast wine brewing recipe: "It seems I'll have to wait until the liquor is brewed before using it!"

Su Lie looked up and saw Su Liuhua operating the Winery's main control screen beside him. His heart stirred, and he immediately asked: "Liu Hua! How is the work at the sugar workshop? Are you busy?"

Su Liuhua's eyes darted around, and she quickly replied: "Master! I have already trained a Little Skeleton as my assistant! I am very free now!"

"Good! This Winery is yours then! It still needs 10 workers, so come with me for a trip!"

Saying that, Su Lie led Su Liuhua to the Shelter's secret garden.
