Chapter 282: Zombie Power Generation Project

"Come, come, come, lock it up first!"

Zhang Su signaled for someone to hang the iron chain on Zero-Zero-Three's collar while saying: "Petrified-skin zombies are most affected by low temperature, ordinary zombies are second, and this transformed thing is quite something, no effect at all?"

"I guess... I think the skin activity of petrified-skin zombies increases, and the hardness is further improved, so it hinders the movement of the joints, so they are most affected. Ordinary zombies don't have this problem, so they are actually stronger than petrified-skin zombies. As for why the transformed zombies are not affected, it may be that the degree is not enough, and it hasn't reached the critical value. I really want to dissect it and study it."

Fu Weijun looked at Zero-Zero-Three with great interest.

"Hmm..."

Zhang Su rolled his eyes and hurriedly said: "No dissection of Zero-Zero-Three for the time being! That, Little Wang, turn on the power, don't let it wake up again in a while. By the way, does this car have to be kept on all the time?"

"Must be." Wang Xin said while operating: "If the engine is turned off, the battery power will be gone in a while! Alright, done."

Turning on the power connected to the iron chain, after a light sound, the current was continuously output.

"The car can't always be kept on like this, the fuel can't be supplied... Didn't Dr. Fu figure out the critical voltage to control Zero-Zero-Three? Teacher Yu, you go back and tell Master Jia to modify the generator or battery panels or something. In short, the energy consumption must be reduced."

Standing by the box truck, Zhang Su looked at the exhaust pipe emitting white smoke, feeling sorry for the fuel. Even if it was idling without moving, it would take almost two liters of oil per hour. In the past, this consumption was not worth mentioning, but now...

Zhang Su turned his head to look at Fu Weijun sitting in the wheelchair.

Fu Weijun thought for a while, nodded with a wonderful expression on his face, and said: "It's really possible..."

Feeling the strange gaze, Lu Yubo smiled unnaturally: "Look, why look at me?"

After listening, Lu Yubo clapped his hands repeatedly: "Holy crap, this is really a method thought of by a smart person. Fix the zombie's body on the crawler, hang a bloody pig head in front, won't the zombie run to death?"

"That..." Duan Wuhu suddenly scratched his head and said: "Zombies are like perpetual motion machines, they can move when exposed to the sun. Can we study using zombies to generate electricity?"

Zhang Su rubbed his head, looking at Lu Yubo with worry.

"Damn!" Zhang Su curled his lips and said: "Old Duan, in the future, I'll see who dares to say that PE teachers have well-developed limbs but simple minds. Such a badass method, why couldn't we think of it? Eh, wait, why does this method seem familiar..."

"Hehe, I saw it in a funny zombie movie before, and suddenly thought of it." Duan Wuhu didn't hide it and told the truth directly.

"It's a good idea." Fu Weijun actually nodded in great agreement, and then said: "Generating electricity is easy, storing electricity is the problem. You can consider preparing more batteries. This project is really good. I think it can be implemented today."

"How to generate electricity? Burn it? Zombies are indeed quite resistant to burning, better than coal." Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited, Lu Yubo also participated, and one sentence made everyone dumbfounded.

As the days passed, the fuel reserves were decreasing day by day, and finding fuel from outside would gradually become difficult, so save it if you can.

"Burn... burn your head, do you think it's thermal power?"

The simple and interesting brain hole instantly attracted the attention of several people.

"Yes, yes, yes, don't look at it as a bit nonsensical, but it seems quite worth learning from. Dr. Fu, do you think it's feasible?"

Duan Wuhu grinned and said: "Hehe, Little Lu, what we are studying is not thermal power, but bio-energy power generation. Set up a crawler to drive the power generation equipment, let the zombies run on the crawler, and won't the electricity come?"

Swish.

"Fine, Old Duan, since the idea was yours, then you take the lead. For the generator, find Master Jia, he is an old electrician. For energy storage equipment, see if Teacher Little Yu can study something. In short, if you need anyone's help, just say it. If the electricity problem can be solved, I'll give you a big credit after it's done, and everyone who participates will be rewarded!"

Zhang Su immediately made a final decision and started the construction of the zombie power generation project.

"It's really good. If zombies can really be used to generate electricity, then our future life security..."

"Brother Su..."

Just at this moment, Tan Huajun, who was preparing breakfast in Little Fortune, walked out of the courtyard wearing an apron, full of frustration: "The water is cut off!"

"So fast?" The wrinkles on Yu Wen's face twitched, and he said: "I thought it could last for a while longer..."

"Without heating equipment, this reservoir is not frost-resistant..."

Zhang Su was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly walked toward Little Fortune, saying: "I used tap water when I got up, and it's cut off now?"

"It just cut off, and the water was getting smaller and smaller." Tan Huajun still had flour on her hands, pointed to the kitchen direction, and said: "The meal was half cooked, and it's gone."

"Big brother, this is damn shitty!"

Zhao Dezhu was also a cook, walked out of the kitchen with a rolling pin, with flour and depression on his face.

"Find someone to go take a look, whether the water pipe is frozen or the reservoir is completely frozen..."

Zhang Su looked at the direction the water pipe extended and happened to see Pang Dakun walking out of the mountain forest. He hurriedly waved and said: "Thief, where did you go?"

"Uncle!" Pang Dakun ran to the crowd in three steps and two steps, pointed to the mountain and said: "Brother Liu said before that the sudden temperature drop was afraid that the reservoir would freeze, so he asked me to go take a look. Damn, it's really frozen!"

Everyone looked at each other.

"No... this Tianmayu reservoir is not big, but not small either. It froze so fast?"

Zhang Su still held a glimmer of hope.

"It's not completely frozen, just a layer of ice, about this thick, but I estimate the pipeline should freeze relatively quickly."

Pang Dakun stretched out his fingers to gesture, with a helpless expression.

The pipeline only has a basic anti-freeze layer and cannot resist the temperature of minus twenty-something degrees, unless the water flow speed is increased, that is, letting water run continuously, but that is not a long-term solution. As long as the temperature does not warm up, freezing is a matter of time. We must consider other ways to get water!

Everyone sighed, human power cannot compete with nature.

"It's okay, our camp still has a few tons of stored water. There is a deep water well in Madianzhuang, forty or fifty meters deep, which won't freeze. It's just a bit hard to pull water back from there."

Zhang Su shrugged. No one can control the temperature drop. Just after thinking about how to solve the electricity problem, the water had a problem. But fortunately, it was just a bit troublesome, not enough to cut off the water source.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and after just finishing a big battle, Zhang Su didn't immediately take people out to sweep. Instead, he stayed in the camp to rest. Not to mention anything else, the windows of every household had to be sealed and reinforced, otherwise, relying only on heating, the heat preservation effect was not good, and many facilities also needed to be strengthened for heat preservation and protection.

The reclamation work in Madianzhuang was suspended because no one was leading it. All the people in the United Village were invested in the various works of Tianmayu, which was quite diligent. However, even if they didn't go to Madianzhuang to reclaim land, they still maintained several important water wells.

The few people who were injured in the battle with the Azure Dragon Corps grain collection team had all recovered. Yang Wenjie put on her clothes again to move her muscles and bones. Besides disbelief, there was only disbelief on her face.

She thought that from then on, her whole arm would be finished, but she didn't expect that she would recover rapidly after taking some medicine, which made her feel like a dream.

For this reason, Yang Wenjie and Guo Dachao specifically thanked Zhang Su and Fu Weijun. During the process, they beat around the bush, wanting to know what they had eaten, but unfortunately, they didn't find out any useful information in the end...
