Chapter 1769 - 962: Rain Curtain, Is There a Mole in the Inner City? (6,000-Word Super - )

Old Dong silently followed behind Li Yu, while Uncle and the others next to him looked at him with an inexplicable gaze, as if observing his reaction.

Old Dong thought to himself: Where on earth does the electricity for the Big Camphor Tree Base come from? It’s all so mysterious.

At the same time, his curiosity grew even stronger, his heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, unbearably itchy.

Li Yu walked to the door leading to the Zombie Generator Hall, then slowly opened it.

Creak——

Due to Li Yu’s presence in the front, and his rather tall stature, the interior view was blocked.

However, there was light inside, and it seemed very bright.

The Zombie Generator, although it had temporarily ceased operation, had all the previously generated electricity stored. The power was stored in batteries, and when the Zombie Generator paused, it automatically activated the storage batteries.

Li Yu stepped aside, making a space, and gestured invitingly with his hand.

Hiss!

Old Dong gasped, his eyes a bit terrified.

Then he backed away a few steps.

Zombies, the entire first floor was filled with zombies, looking dense at a glance, there were at least several hundred zombies.

Furthermore, these zombies were still alive, and at the moment, they were walking on the machines.

"This..." Old Dong couldn’t utter a complete sentence for a moment.

The shock in his eyes was undeniable.

But soon, he noticed that these zombies were welded onto the machines and couldn’t get off, with their entire heads welded under iron helmets.

There’s no danger!

Subsequently, he mustered the courage to walk closer to observe.

Worthy of being an electricity expert, within a few minutes he figured out the operational logic of the Zombie Generator.

Clicking his tongue in admiration: "Good! Really good! Generating electricity using zombies, converting the kinetic energy from zombies walking into mechanical energy, and then transforming mechanical energy into electrical energy.

The rotating chains drive generators to produce alternating current, which is then stepped up through transformers and transmitted to a transformer substation via cables.

That’s absolutely brilliant, whose idea was it? It’s magnificent."

As he approached the Zombie Generators, the zombies on the machines sensed his approach and became exceedingly agitated, wanting to bite Old Dong.

However, their arms were cut off, entire legs welded steel-firm to the machines, and their heads enclosed in iron cages, thereby firmly restricting this zombie on the machine, unable to get near Old Dong, and instead, due to the increased walking speed, expedited the rotation of the wheel chains behind.

Except, due to a malfunction, it wasn’t successfully converted into electrical energy.

Next to him, Li Yu saw Old Dong squatting by the Zombie Generator conducting an inspection, and explained: "This was something He Bing and Zhou Ran accidentally came up with while experimenting, we named this machine Zombie Generator."

"This is the main source of electricity for the Big Camphor Tree Base."

Old Dong stood up, sighing in admiration: "Others see zombies and are scared to death, but no one thought to utilize the characteristics of zombies to generate electricity; it’s genius!"

Li Yu suddenly drew closer and asked: "Continue checking to see if you can fix it."

Just at that moment, an exclamation came from behind.

"Holy crap, so this actually works."

Li Yu turned his head and saw it was Tian Shu, brought in by He Bing.

With wide-open eyes, staring at the Zombie Generator inside.

Beside him, He Bing said: "This is one of the sources of power for the Big Camphor Tree Base and must remain confidential."

Seeing Tian Shu had entered as well, Li Yu addressed both Tian Shu and Old Dong:

"This is the core secret of the Big Camphor Tree Base, just a reminder: once you leave this building, you know nothing, understood?"

Although his tone was very calm, both Old Dong and Tian Shu felt a chilling murderous intent emanating.

They were well aware of the kind of person Li Yu was.

If Li Yu said that, it meant the consequences would be disastrous if they leaked anything!

Old Dong shivered all over and quickly pledged loyalty:

"I understand, once I leave, I know nothing, and I will definitely not tell anyone what I saw today."

"Yes, yes, Director Li allowed us in because of trust, how can we dare to leak it out." Tian Shu echoed quickly beside him.

In their brief observation, they roughly grasped the principles involved, which were actually very simple and not that complicated to execute.

The key is this bold idea.

Ordinary people avoid zombies as much as possible, much less think of using zombies to generate electricity.

Li Yu, hearing their replies, nodded slightly and said to them: "See if you can fix it. He Bing, Zhou Ran, explain the situation to them."

He Bing stepped over, pointing at a broken wire, and said:

"The situation is like this: Due to stormy weather outside, the wire short-circuited... and with all Zombie Generators connected in series, all generators ceased operation as a result, moreover....."

With He’s explanation, along with the inspection from Old Dong and Tian Shu, they gradually uncovered the problem at hand.

"There appear to be three issues now: 1, the wire short-circuiting and aging, which can be solved by replacing the wire.

2, the lightning protection device mentioned just now by He Bing needs to be buried underground to avoid lightning damage to the grid, otherwise short-circuits are likely.

3, the series connection problem. If a single Zombie Generator malfunctions, due to the series connection, it will cause issues in all the other Zombie Generators. It is recommended to use a parallel connection."

Beside them, He Bing nodded and said:
