Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 349 Generator Cat Raising

Zhou Yi asked Hongshun to notify the relevant technical personnel to hold a meeting in 3101.

At first, Takuzuki was reluctant.

It complained, "Chairman, this is my secret. If I announce it now, everyone will know it."

Zhou Yi asked: "Do you think it is more important to complete the experiment as soon as possible to prove the existence of the electric cat, or to keep it secret?"

"This... of course the electric cat is more important."

"That's fine."

"But, we can also do it quietly, right? For example, if you give me more funding, I'll buy more batteries to try. If it doesn't work, we can talk later."

The Panda Man still wanted to accomplish this task on his own.

Zhou Yi could only patiently enlighten it: "How does the electric cat compare to the floating heart?"

"That's definitely not comparable... The floating heart is a technology that can change the entire electromechanical life group, and it is also our company's trump card."

"Now that you know this, you have to understand that although the floating heart was invented by Mr. Liu and Mr. Chen from our company, the reason why it was applied and produced so quickly was inseparable from the production, optimization and a lot of trial and error feedback from Yin Shang, Shenwei and the railway company."

Zhou Yi said: "It is difficult for one person to cover everything. Only by mobilizing the wisdom and experience of more people can we open up our minds and find a better direction."

"Also, the electric cat is essentially a reproduction of technology, not something we created originally. The creators of the Crooked House already had it."

Zhou Yi found out after an in-depth conversation with Tuo Zhu.

There is a reason why the Pandaren want to do it themselves.

"My father, in normal times, everyone was very polite to me. Everyone who saw me would greet me with a smile. What about the Ministry of Citizenship? I can have children or not, no one would bother me with such a thing."

The panda man said with a nostalgic look on his face: "At that time, I was short of money so I asked my father for it. I liked designing and building, so my father sent me to the Imperial Design Institute in Heaven."

"I work as a designer at the Innovation Research Center over there. There's a lot of money there, and everyone has a background. No matter what you design, you can make it anyway. There are even people who make artificial aliens, although it's just a waste of money and nothing can be done."

"That place is very comfortable. There is no limit on the food and beverages provided every day. You can eat whatever you want as long as it is available in heaven."

"Every day when we have nothing to do, we drink tea together, play mahjong, billiards, play cards, and smoke a few cigarettes..."

Zhou Yi was stunned when he heard this: "Wait a minute, you guys are playing mahjong?"

He made a mahjong gesture.

"Yes. Entertainment during the Age of Gods was very popular among the upper classes of Heaven. Billiards, mahjong, cards, chess, ping-pong, basketball, and football all had many fans."

The panda man sat cross-legged on the ground and spoke loudly.

Zhou Yi recalled that Qin Xie also said that the top leaders of the Dead Sea Knights liked to play table tennis, so he catered to their interests and practiced this skill.

“It was a very comfortable time.”

"My father was on a pioneer mission and came back with dementia. He was sent to a nursing home, but I was treated completely differently."

Tuozhu took a sip of tea, his eyes full of melancholy behind the dark circles under his eyes: "Everyone's attitude towards me has visibly deteriorated. They found fault with me and made trouble for me in various ways. I was soon transferred out of the Imperial Design Institute and transferred to the Imperial Construction Department, where I ran around construction sites... I really couldn't stand it, so I quit and returned home to the autonomous region."

"Later, I applied for funding to develop electric cats, but failed. The Ministry of Citizenship also began to frequently ask me to perform voluntary mating..."

Zhou Yi expressed his understanding: "This is what it's like to lose your backer."

"Chairman, I just want to prove myself and make something to show everyone that I, Tuozhu, have not brought shame to my father, and I am not a waste!"

The panda man said angrily.

Zhou Yi said, "Then, shouldn't we make something? It will be best if you keep your name as the inventor."

"Row!"

The panda man nodded immediately.

Then the electric conference was held.

Sigma, the representative of Recursion City, spoke first: "Our city has generators. We still have 12 in stock, all of which are small and medium-sized."

"In fact, there have always been many electromechanical cities that want to try to use electricity to alleviate the problem of energy shortage. After all, the cost of energy packs is still high, and electromechanical life and optical printing equipment are consumed very quickly."

"Electricity is a clean, storable and transferable energy source. Old humans used it frequently, and everything can use electricity."

"But after field testing, we found many problems."

Kart said: "The energy density of electricity is not enough. It is not as strong as the energy pack and cannot provide strong enough power. Electricity cannot support optical printing equipment such as reinforced ships, excavation equipment, and refining equipment."

"Moreover, the requirements for supporting electricity are very high. A series of related infrastructure such as power stations, generators, transformers, transmission lines, distribution networks, substations, energy storage equipment, etc. are needed to form a power system."

"To build these, you need strong manufacturing capabilities, and converting electrical energy is also a big problem."

"Basically, electricity was limited to experimental use and used as a comparative reference, rather than being considered for large-scale deployment and application."

Zhou Yi was not surprised by this.

The technology tree of the wasteland era is the art of printing light, which is essentially the utilization of the energy of the Dead Sea. All equipment, technology and tools are built on this.

It is a completely different technological system from the old human era.

Zhou Yi said: "What I want to confirm now is whether I can take out the generator and convert it into electrical energy through other external energy."

"Although I'm not specialized in this area, I have read a lot of Dead Sea Scrolls. It describes that water energy, wind energy, and fossil fuels can all drive generators to generate electricity. Can we do it?"

This was basic common sense for humans in the past.

"can."

Sigma gave a positive answer: "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhou, if it is only used for experiments, there will be no problem. Hasn't the company developed a floating heart? Through the transmission device of the floating heart, the rotor can be driven to generate electricity."

Zhou Yi looked at Chen Ruixiang, who was doing energy and power research. The technical consultant pushed up his thick-bottomed glasses and said, "If it's transmission, it can be done technically. As long as the generator is intact, the floating heart can drive the power generation."

After the basic direction was finalized, everyone started discussing issues such as power transmission and energy storage.

Recursive City is a city that exports services to the outside world, and all kinds of equipment are kept in stock to meet unexpected needs.

This is where it comes in handy.

Four generators, a large number of cables and wires, protective devices, batteries and other equipment were quickly delivered to Yalong Bay.

The two floating hearts serve as the core of energy conversion, driving the transmission device to operate at high speed, converting electrical energy through the motor and transmitting it to the curved house.

In the glass room, the brightness and intensity of the electric light increased significantly, visibly to the naked eye.

Zhou Yi saw that a large number of electric arcs in the curved house formed bubble-like objects. Their number became very large, wandering and flashing everywhere.

The panda man said, "Chairman, this is the light bulb. They are born and disappear in an instant. The light bulbs you see every second are different from the ones you saw in the previous second."

"These guys have shorter lifespans than light-sucking monsters."

"Zema said that it takes a huge number of electric gallbladders to hatch an electric cat."

But seven days passed without any results, except for the burning of two cables and a small generator.

The electric light bulb is still constantly being born and dying.

Zhou Yi was still relatively calm about this experiment.

Failure is the norm.

In the early days, he wanted to use Emerald City to implement a retirement strategy, but failed. He then sought out retired enhancers to re-employ them, but failed again. Later, he tried to cultivate high-quality silver needle fish, but has also failed.

Success is achieved through repeated corrections and accumulation of failures.

Not long after, Zhou Yi went to SH City again.

Because Mr. Mieding proposed to build a large apron to further expand the air routes to the outside world.

It said: "I plan to open a line from Shuanghe to Motorcycle City, and then go north to Baixiao Plateau. Tyrant has agreed. In this way, cities along the way can go to these two places to take a flight and go directly to any area of the alliance."

"this is not bad."

Zhou Yi expressed his support.

There, he saw the armed glider modified by Miedinggong.

This is based on the manned glider, with the manned cabin converted into a launch cabin. The aircraft is equipped with a gunner and a scout, and is equipped with E or D-level light-printing cannons, which can deter most flying light nano species.

Zhou Yi sighed: "When it comes to the air force, you are still good at it. With the completion of the military transformation, the strength of the air force has increased immediately."

The young puppet showed a rare look of modesty: "This is not worth mentioning. The floating heart is a destructive weapon."

"We have been testing installing the floating heart on a glider. But there are various problems, such as difficulty in ensuring balance, a significant drop in shooting accuracy after accelerated flight, and stability issues..."

"I wonder if we can go to Shagang for technical exchanges and visits? We can sell the fighter jets we have finally transformed to foreign countries, and we can split the profits 50-50. How about that?"

"no problem."

Zhou Yi nodded: "You're welcome anytime."

"It's better to do it now than to wait for a better day. I will go with you now. Ringo, call those core members, bring all our materials and prototypes, and go to the company to learn the technology."

Miedinggong was extremely concerned about this.

On the way back, it also revealed an important piece of news: "The Kingdom of Heaven is mediating the external military actions of the electromechanical city cluster. The attitude over there is still very tough, and they are unwilling to recognize technologies such as the electromechanical knight and the [Key]. In addition, the new [Laozi] and [Zhuangzi] were born..."

"They will not be willing to give up their power," Zhou Yi said.

"But we have to be careful now. According to reliable information, they have found City 404. It is still unknown what measures that city will take."

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed.

Behind City 404... is a celestial being.

"The Heavenly Man is going to die?"

Mieding Gong shook his head: "They don't care about these things. As long as the world still maintains a large number of lives available, they won't care. Do you care about the disputes between cats and dogs in your own yard?"

"What is that?" Zhou Yi frowned.

"There are some extremely dangerous mechatronic life forms sleeping in City 404. This time, in order to respond to the challenge of the Mechatronic Knights, they may activate some of them."

"How dangerous is it?"

"Let's put it this way."

The man's jaw opened and closed. "The most dangerous among them is the X-class. They have even killed the Light Core."

Zhou Yi's heart trembled.

He came back to his senses: "Are you so anxious to launch a fighter jet? Do you have this consideration?"

The puppet nodded: "The biggest advantage of gliders is that they are not light-printing devices and are not subject to technical constraints and controls. Some targeted weapons can directly render light printing ineffective."

"So I plan to gradually implement partial de-optical printing in Shuanghe area and adopt new technologies to replace it to avoid risks and loopholes in this regard in the future."

Zhou Yi thought.

Miedinggong is acting as if he is facing a formidable enemy. It seems that the counterattack of the electromechanical city cluster will begin soon.
