Chapter 22: Wurm Electric Field
A winding two-lane asphalt road weaves through the hills and the wasteland.
The hillsides on both sides of the highway and the wilderness are covered with wild poppies, alfalfa, sunflowers and rape flowers, and all kinds of mountain flowers and wild grasses are more than one meter high, and flowers of various colors are dotted on the wilderness, colorful, all over the mountains, swaying in the wind.
The dilapidated asphalt road is hidden among the mountain flowers and wild grasses, wandering left and right, undulating with the terrain, quiet and far-reaching, like a hidden path to a fairy tale world.
This is the wilderness of no one in the last days, if you replace the gray nuclear radiation clouds on your head with blue sky and white clouds, this is the holy realm on earth.
"I was surprised by the wine and slept heavily, and the gambling books were so fragrant that I was pouring tea, which was just ordinary at that time." The blue sky and white clouds that people were accustomed to back then have now become the greatest hope in the hearts of human beings in the last days.
The silence of the wilderness was broken by bursts of girlish laughter like silver bells.
Along the asphalt road overgrown with weeds, a young girl ran in front of her, and a fat and a thin boy of two and a half years were chasing behind. Although the little fat man in it was almost round into a ball, he was very fast, and soon stopped the girl who was running in front, and the three of them laughed and played together.
"Xiaohan is really, such a big girl, and she is still messing around with Xiaofei and Yiming." Looking at the three people chasing and fighting in front of him, Xiao Yu couldn't help but complain.
"What's this? No matter what age you are, you should keep a childlike heart. Why don't we both go to the prairie and make trouble? Chi Hua whispered softly next to Xiao Yu.
"Indecent!" Xiao Yu took a sip of Chi Hua and turned his head to stop looking at him.
Chi Hua fought snakes and climbed down the pole and refused to give up any opportunity to tease Xiao Yu, "I said to go to the grassland to make trouble, where is it obscene?" Where do you think you go, you don't think ......"
Xiao Yu's face immediately turned red again, glared at Chi Hua fiercely, and no longer paid attention to him. Xiao Yu has already discovered that Douzui himself will never be Chi Hua's opponent, and he will always take advantage of him in the end.
No wonder Xiao Yu is shy, there are more than a dozen people behind the two, including Ma Qingqiu with a wicked smile, Yao Yiyi who can't hold back a smile, Lu Ziniu who is honest on the surface, eight special combat team members and six engineering and technical personnel. No matter how low Chi Hua's voice was, it fell into the ears of the people behind him word for word.
Coupled with Ouyang Minglang and Ah Bao, who were almost invisible from behind, these people were all the entourage who followed Chi Hua to the wind farm this time.
In order to solve the energy crisis in Phoenix, and in order to block Song Yu and Yi Fengleng's talk that they were idle all day, Chi Hua personally led a team to a wind farm called Yalong to check.
According to the intelligence collected by Ouyang, the Yalong Wind Farm is a wind farm invested and built by the state. After the power plant was completed and installed, before it had time to generate power and operate, unknown viruses and nuclear wars broke out one after another, and the power plant was abandoned because there were not many pre-commissioning personnel in the power plant.
Wind farms are located in the middle of the mountains and wilderness, and the geographical location is remote, and no force appreciates the value of the power plant. Therefore, it has been almost two years since the end of the world, and the wind farm is still intact, and the machinery and equipment inside are still brand new, and the power supply can be immediately provided with a little commissioning.
A small team of adventurers stumbled upon the wind farm and sold it to Ouyang Minglang as intel. Only a superpower like Doomsday Phoenix could be interested in the power plant, and this team of adventurers also returned a reward far beyond their expectations from Ouyang.
A medium-sized wind farm that can supply power with a little commissioning has naturally attracted the attention of the three-member committee of Phoenix. Phoenix has now gathered a large number of high-end professional and technical personnel, and as long as the equipment in the electric field is basically in good condition, Phoenix is now fully capable of restoring the operation of the electric field and laying an underground transmission line to Phoenix.
In addition, Chi Hua is still a little curious about the Yalong Wind Farm. A few years before the outbreak of the nuclear war, the state had stopped approving wind power projects in the western region because of oversupply, so why did the state invest in a new wind farm, and it was only a small project such as a medium-sized wind farm?
The road to the electric field was the asphalt road that was not wide under everyone's feet, and because they didn't know what mutated beast had destroyed a large section, everyone had to abandon the car and walk twenty kilometers away.
This seemingly calm and beautiful wilderness is full of killing machines, and the mutated beasts not only destroy the way, but even take the initiative to launch an attack on the humans who have intruded into the territory.
Along the way, the people in Phoenix City have already encountered three active attacks by mutated beasts. Xiao Fei, Xiao Han and the others were very happy to arrive, this was equivalent to the evolutionary crystal nucleus that was sent to the door, and they were even afraid that Ah Bao's second-order aura would scare other mutant beasts and not dare to take the initiative to attack, and asked Ouyang to take Ah Bao to follow far behind.
Only Chi Huazhi felt deeply worried. In the last two years, not only human beings are evolving, but more and more animals are also evolving and mutating, not only humans are hunting mutant beasts, mutant beasts are also feeding on humans, and in recent months, there have been more and more incidents of mutant animals actively attacking human camps.
This means that the wilderness will become more and more dangerous to ordinary people, and it will gradually form a situation where humans hide in large settlements and mutated beasts occupy the wilderness.
"Brother-in-law, look!"
Xiao Han interrupted Chi Hua's thoughts, the three of them had stopped fighting, and Xiao Han was pointing to the end of the road for Chi Hua to see.
In the distance, white windmills stood tall and spread along the asphalt road, covering the entire hillside in front of them.
Everyone's expressions were all shocked, and they couldn't help but consciously speed up their pace.
Close, the wind turbine tower pole dozens of meters high is majestic, the huge fan blades are slowly turning, and the human beings seem so small when they walk below.
Several engineers and technicians opened the pole of an electric tower and went inside to take a look. After the generator and gearbox in the tower are completed, the battery can be charged at any time.
Several engineering personnel were extremely excited, and the situation was even more optimistic than expected. As long as the control center is found and the transmission line is built, the power generated by the electric field can be continuously transmitted.
I thought it would be a very easy task, but I immediately encountered unexpected difficulties. At the end of the asphalt road were several electric towers, and the road was repaired to the bottom of the towers, and the people did not find the control center of the electric field.
The power stations and control centers of all wind farms will be built on the mountainside or at the top of the mountain, but Chi Hua and others did not find it after turning around the vicinity a few times.
Things are starting to get a little weird.
Chi Hua let out a long roar, and a few seconds later, Ah Bao appeared in front of Chi Hua, and Ouyang Minglang jumped off Ah Bao.
Perhaps because of the reason for eating a large amount of mutant bear king meat, Ah Bao successfully advanced to the second order a few days ago and became the fourth second-order powerhouse in Doomsday Phoenix. Po, who has evolved to the second order, has not further grown in size, and still maintains the size of a pickup truck, weighing more than two tons, but there has been a qualitative leap in speed, which has exceeded the speed of sound, and is several times faster than the fastest high-speed train before the end of the world.
And because of Po's ability to flash, such a fast speed will not produce a sonic boom. With Po, Ouyang Minglang can even travel back and forth between Phoenix City and Heavenly Chosen City in half an hour in an emergency. The only regret is that Ah Bao only allowed Chi Hua and Li Xiaofei a limited number of people to ride on him, and Xiao Yu and Ma Qingqiu, who joined later, couldn't.
"Brother Hua, what's wrong?" Ouyang knew that there must be something wrong with Chi Hua calling him.
"Did the adventurous team that gave you the information say where the power station and control center of the power plant are located?"
Only then did Ouyang realize that the original few people had been circling in place because they hadn't found a place.
"No, they only provided information about the location of the wind farm and the equipment inside, and I took it for granted that the power station was in the wind farm. Is that adventurous team lying to me? ”
"It may not be that they are deliberately deceiving you, but judging from the information they provided, they must have entered the control center, otherwise it is impossible to know such details, and it is more likely that they deliberately concealed something."
"I'll find them when I go back and skin them!" has been with Chi Hua for a long time, and Ouyang is now also decisive.
"Let's talk about them later, the most important thing now is to find the control center first. Since they have gone in, it means that the control center must be near here, I was too anxious just now, and now it seems that since it is invisible on the ground, then the control center is not underground but in a cave, let's look for it separately, such a large control center will not disappear for no reason. ”
The people in Phoenix City were divided into two groups to search separately, Chi Hua, Li Xiaofei and Yao Yiyi's special operations team group, Xiao Yu, Ouyang and Xiaohan special operations team group, Ma Qingqiu, Lu Ziniu and Gao Yiming stayed in place and waited, while protecting six engineers and technicians.
Even if the group is divided, it is not easy to find a deliberately hidden control center within a radius of tens of square kilometers of wind farms.
Two groups of more than a dozen people can only take the most stupid method to walk through every mountain bag and every meadow on the ground, which will be an incomparably huge workload.
But the result is often much easier than the process, and the search has only been carried out for half an hour, and Xiao Yu's group has made a discovery, and Chi Hua and a few people have rushed over immediately.
Everyone stood in front of a nondescript hill, and a wooden sign of "Yalong Wind Farm" was thrown into the grass on the side.
In the middle of the mountain bag is a large gray steel gate, which is half hidden by flowers and plants more than a meter high, and the exposed part will be mistaken for the bare dirt on the mountain when viewed from a distance.
The discovery of the gate is also thanks to Bao, I don't know if Bao's sense of smell has also evolved again, or if there is something that attracts Bao, Bao sniffed and found this place directly.
The steel gate is completely embedded in the mountain, and even if it is, it may not be able to explode open, but in front of Chi Hua, all metal is obedient. As soon as Chi Hua stretched out his hand, the gate began to soften and melt, turning into a metal liquid that flowed into Chi Hua's body, leaving only a pile of residues after the metal had been refined.
The steel gate vanished, revealing a dark passage leading to the underground.
