Chapter 581: Thanks to Tesla
Watching Zhou Qingfeng's armed convoy leave, the people in the shelter all had mixed feelings. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is obviously his own exclusive comfort nest in the last days, and hundreds of people are forced in, and the feeling of evil neighbors on the side is extremely uncomfortable.
But now looking at such a team and leaving, with a fearless spirit, they will enter the city full of dangers, to clean up the mutated creatures that threaten the survival of mankind, to find out the reasons behind the scenes, and everyone has a kind of tragedy of 'the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and will never return'.
"Are these guys really going to uncover the secrets of biological mutations?"
"They're just a few people, they're going to die quickly."
"There are at least tens of thousands of mutated creatures in the city, and there are thousands of mutants alone. Those horrible monsters are going to tear this team apart. ”
Watching the convoy disappear from view, the people in the shelter had some sour thoughts, and even a kind of self-condemnation of the wrong hero. But when they thought about whether they could go up and help, everyone immediately dismissed the stupid idea.
"These people are going to die, and we don't need to get involved."
"With such a weak strength to fight against a mutated creature in a city, this can only be a senseless sacrifice."
"It would have been nice if they had stayed, I don't think they were terrible or annoying now."
The last sentence can be regarded as expressing the true thoughts of the residents of the shelter, and before Zhou Qingfeng led the team to appear, there was an air of despair in the shelter. With so many people, less and less material material day by day, the external environment is still deteriorating, and there is no hope for any change, the reality gives people the feeling that the world is only lonely for itself.
As a result, as soon as Zhou Qingfeng came, the residents of the shelter found that there were still people taking a bath in the winter? And the organization will take in the useless weak? Who else can eat and drink and raise themselves strong? Most importantly, there is another organization in the world that has carved out a Garden of Eden in the Caribbean, where life is full of hope and optimism.
After the Task Force sent transport planes to bring in supplies, the Vault also benefited from renting out its site. It was the first supply the shelter residents received after living in solitude for more than half a year, and many of them watched as the pot and camel machine started to generate electricity, watched the large amount of medicine get the patients out of the ward, and watched the members of the task force always confident and calm, and their own hearts became soothed.
But now the action team said to leave, without hesitation, not only did not listen to persuasion, but appeared to be high-spirited. This left the entire Vault in frustration, as they did not want their territory to be forcibly occupied, and they did not want to lose the only means of contact with the outside world.
"Should we send some people to follow and see?" Someone in the Council of Elders suggested.
This matter must be decided by Elder Joseph, who is in charge of the defense work, and the Elder's Excellency nodded after thinking for a moment and said: "Send someone to take a look, it is still necessary to know the first-hand situation, even if this team is finally destroyed, it is a humanitarian responsibility if we can save some of the team members." ”
Thinking that he had done his best, the proposal was unanimously approved by the Council of Elders. So a group of light infantry of about a dozen people followed, anyway, it was only a few kilometers away, not too far.
And because the road is not easy to walk, and the need to be on alert and search at all times, Zhou Qingfeng's team is not going fast. In fact, 'Dog Meat' kept running around the convoy all the time, while the rest of the crew gathered tools along the way.
"Hey, there's an abandoned crane here, it feels like it's still working."
"Great, we've got diesel fuel in hand, and we need construction machinery. Kick it up and give it a try. ”
"There's a police riot car here, and I think it's sturdy enough to be used."
"There's a fire truck here, can we do something with it?"
"There's a substation here, which is the ultra-high voltage transmission grid that powers the city of Baltimore."
"Substation? Wait...... I have an idea. Remove the high-power transformer from the substation for me, and then I need those cables, and I need some electricians, do we have electricians? The kind that specializes in maintaining the city's power grid. ”
Didn't know about Victor either. Hugo had some idea, anyway, when the soldiers sent by the shelter followed, they found that the convoy was actually dismantling the equipment of a high-voltage substation on the way. And this Monsieur Hugo asked the refuge to lend him a couple of electricians.
"I know there must be professional electricians in your shelters, not electricians who install household appliances, but electricians who have experience working in the transmission grid. Anyway, those electricians don't have much to do with you, so you might as well lend them to me. Zhou Qingfeng asked in a tough tone, "I'm also helping you clean up the surrounding environment now, this little request should always be met, right?" ”
The elders of the shelter just now were still lamenting that His Excellency the Legion Commander had overcome obstacles for the future of mankind, and now they were being ridiculed in the blink of an eye. And this electrician lent it out, but I was afraid that it would be 'meat buns beating dogs, and there will be no return.'" ’
"Just a couple of electricians, borrow it. Now is not suitable for disputes with the Aurora Legion. In the end, the Council of Elders could only pinch their noses and admit it again.
As a result, several electricians rushed to Zhou Qingfeng and were given a task -- to use the equipment of the substation to transform a set of high-voltage discharge devices, input 380 volts, a maximum current of nearly 4,000 amperes, and adjust the output voltage to 1 million volts.
"Do you understand what I mean?" Zhou Qingfeng asked a few stunned electricians.
Several electricians were all inexplicable, and they didn't understand what Zhou Qingfeng wanted to do for a long time? They had thought of setting up a high-voltage power grid in the shelter to defend against the invasion of mutated creatures from outside, but there was nowhere to find a high-power, stable power source.
"Don't understand? It's okay if you don't understand, just do what I say. For such a set of large-scale discharge equipment, Zhou Qingfeng can't handle it himself. But a few electricians in front of him plus a hundred miscellaneous laborers can complete this task.
Dismantling the equipment, cutting the cables, and reassembling them, Zhou Qingfeng asked to build a large-scale discharge equipment in the shape of a mesh, covering an area of about 500 meters. One million volts is enough to give an ultra-high voltage shock to any organism that enters the discharge network.
It took two days to complete, and to put it bluntly, a high-power transformer connected more than a dozen radial high-voltage lines hundreds of meters long. A strong electric field is generated between every two high-voltage lines, and any creature that enters the strong electric field is waiting to be unlucky.
After the completion of this strange set of equipment, Zhou Qingfeng put it to the test. He ordered the discharged high-voltage wires to be thrown into a dead forest, and then the 'dog meat' with the 'nuclear fusion battery' was connected to the transformer. But the moment the circuit was turned on, a violent electric spark suddenly emitted from the dead forest.
The blue arc of electricity directly ionizes the air and creates a high temperature of several thousand degrees. At this temperature, the entire dead forest immediately burst into flames, and the flames rose into the sky.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and horrified, and their faces turned pale. Many uninformed people looked at 'dog meat', and no one expected that this dog would carry such a high-power power supply.
And Zhou Qingfeng smiled slightly: "I remember that in order to prove that his direct current is safer than Tesla's alternating current, Edison deliberately used alternating current to electrocute livestock to scare people." Now I feel like I'm thanking Tesla, the guy who discovered AC is awesome! (To be continued.) )
