The Path of Survival.

Summary

Xiao Fan faces challenges in designing a boiler, considering gravity to replenish water from a higher tank. He realizes the importance of a valve to control water flow, preventing overflow or dry boiling. He designs a cylindrical boiler with steam outlets and a primitive water level gauge using copper pipes. To mass-produce the boiler, he opts for mold casting but first focuses on creating screws and water level gauges. He experiments with casting hollow copper pipes, refining his methods through collaboration with skilled workers. Ultimately, he develops a mold for producing copper rods and pipes, laying the groundwork for future innovations.
