Chapter 262: Electric Shock
However, for those refugees of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty who are on the verge of starving to death, as long as they can fill their bellies, they would rather breathe the industrial exhaust of Earth.
It can only be said that the demands of the people in the two worlds are different; if they could trade with each other, a win-win situation could certainly be achieved.
It is a pity that the people of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty do not have a Game Panel, nor do they have a bound Space Ring, so naturally, they cannot be merchants traveling between the two worlds.
Meng Yifan can be a merchant, which allows him to rapidly develop his territory and let the Subjects loyal to him live a happy life without worry about food or clothing.
Meng Yifan walked out of the secret room, found a flat spot within Luolong County, and unfolded the photovoltaic solar panels. As the sunlight shone upon them, the charging indicator lights on the panels lit up normally, which made Meng Yifan heave a sigh of relief; it seems that bringing photovoltaic panels over to generate electricity is truly feasible.
Meng Yifan then found the highest spot in Luolong City and assembled both Wind Power Generator Units. Unfortunately, the sky was clear and cloudless, and there was no wind at all, so the blades of the generators naturally could not turn.
However, this could not stump Meng Yifan; when he purchased the wind turbines, he specifically customized a huge crank handle.
The seller was completely unable to understand what Meng Yifan wanted this thing for at the time. The boss asked, but Meng Yifan did not say much, only telling the boss to do it according to his requirements.
The boss was too lazy to worry about it; anyway, as long as the money was paid, he could manufacture any strange-looking tool.
Meng Yifan took the huge crank handle, connected it to the wind turbine's rotor, and then, with the muscles on his arms bulging, he exerted force to crank the rotor.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" The two or three-ton rotor began to spin rapidly, just like a giant electric fan, blowing out gusts of cool wind.
"Not bad, a Second Grade Martial Artist can make it turn by channeling True Qi." While Meng Yifan was installing the wind turbines, Wang Dachui and Meng Dayong had been following behind him, wondering what use these strange things Meng Yifan had brought out could have.
"Master Wang, come and try it to see if you can get the rotor spinning," Meng Yifan said.
Wang Dachui had been blacksmithing for years; his arms were thick and very powerful. He took the huge crank handle and, without channeling True Qi, used his physical strength alone to get the rotor spinning.
Meng Yifan then had Meng Dayong try it as well, confirming that a Second Grade Martial Artist could indeed turn the rotor. In the future, when there was no wind, the Second Grade Martial Artists in Luolong County could take turns cranking the rotor, and Meng Yifan would have a continuous supply of electricity.
"Lord Meng, what is the purpose of cranking this rotor?" Wang Dachui asked curiously.
"Haha, this is called a Wind Power Generator Unit; it can be used to generate electricity. I brought some Light Bulbs, and they only need to be connected to power to light up. I'll show you once it gets dark later," Meng Yifan laughed.
"Generate electricity?" Wang Dachui was dumbfounded. In his impression, there was only the lightning in the sky; he had never heard that one could generate electricity just by turning a wheel.
Meng Dayong was also amazed, but there were too many magical things about Meng Yifan, and he was already accustomed to it.
An important symbol of modern civilization is the use of electricity; with electricity, there is much more Meng Yifan can do.
First, he can subject the Ghost Generals and the Third Grade Zombie to electric shocks, allowing them to adapt to the power of the Thunder Tribulation in advance; this will certainly greatly increase their success rate in passing the tribulation.
Additionally, most Demon Beasts have night vision capabilities, while many of the soldiers and commoners in Luolong County suffer from night blindness and are practically blind at night.
If the Monster Army were to launch an attack at night, Luolong County would be very passive, and the pressure on defense would be doubled.
But with electricity, it is different. This time when Meng Yifan traveled back, he brought some light bulbs and searchlights, as well as some infrared cameras. Even if the Demon Beasts attack at night, the infrared cameras can detect the approach of the Demon Beasts in advance, and with the illumination from the searchlights, the soldiers' Cannons can also aim accurately.
It can be said that with electricity, Meng Yifan's soldiers have the ability to fight at night, which can be considered as filling a gap.
If the power generation capacity of the photovoltaic panels and the wind turbines is sufficient, Meng Yifan also wants to set up a high-voltage electric fence outside Luolong County. If any Demon Beasts dare to sneak in at night, the high-voltage fence can electrocute them into charcoal.
Furthermore, Meng Yifan traveled over from Earth and was not used to having no computers or mobile phones to play with. Now that he has electricity, he can finally listen to music and play a few rounds of single-player games when he is free.
Meng Yifan arranged for people to take turns cranking the rotor, and then he took the three Third Grade Zombies into the underground secret room.
Meng Yifan summoned Zhang Butou and Jiang Tiandou, then rummaged through his Space Ring and pulled out a police stun baton. Do not look at this little thing as only being a dozen centimeters long; it can produce 150,000 volts of high-voltage electricity.
"Zzz! Zzz!" Meng Yifan turned on the switch of the stun baton, and the output end at the front emitted streaks of electric sparks.
Zhang Butou and Jiang Tiandou hurriedly dodged backward; they felt a huge danger from this stun baton, and the Twin-Blade Zombie and the other two big-bodied zombies also subconsciously shrank back.
Thunder is the most rigid and yang element, the nemesis of Yin Attribute creatures like Ghost Generals and zombies; none of them want to face thunder.
However, if Ghost Generals and zombies want to break through to the Fourth Grade, they must experience the Thunder Tribulation; failing the tribulation means being struck into ashes and dust.
Meng Yifan held the electric baton and asked, "Who among you will go first?"
Zhang Butou and Jiang Tiandou both shrank back, and even those three zombies, despite their low intelligence, subconsciously retreated repeatedly. Instinctive fear made them all unwilling to try being electrocuted.
"By enduring electric shocks now, you can improve your resistance to thunder, and only then will you have a better chance of passing the Thunder Tribulation. All five of you must endure the electric shocks; I am doing this for your own good," Meng Yifan said.
Seeing that the five of them were still timid, Meng Yifan decided not to let them choose. Holding the stun baton, he executed the Lingbo Microsteps, his body flickered, and he appeared in front of the Twin-Blade Zombie, thrusting it straight at its stomach.
"Awoo!" The Twin-Blade Zombie let out a miserable cry. The high-voltage electricity released by the stun baton reacted violently with the corpse power in its body, causing its stomach to be scorched black by the electricity.
The skin and flesh of the Twin-Blade Zombie were extremely tough and could be described as impervious to swords and spears, but under the high-voltage electric shock, the zombie's stomach was instantly torn open, and thick corpse fluid flowed out from its stomach, emitting a foul odor.
The Twin-Blade Zombie's body trembled continuously, the few remaining hairs on its body stood on end, and a large patch of skin and flesh around its stomach turned into a mass of charred black, looking very miserable.
"Huh!" Meng Yifan shared a mental connection with the Twin-Blade Zombie, and he felt that within the mass of flesh and blood on the Twin-Blade Zombie's stomach that had been electrocuted into charcoal, there was a faint trace of vitality.
