Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 178 Wind Energy
The first thing to react was stainless steel, which was still the same as iron, and the potential energy generated basically did not change much.

After trying it all, only aluminum alloy was left, and other metals showed no reaction at all.

Lu Yuning was already a little disappointed. It seemed that Zou Yunxin had not yet unlocked the conversion of his energy.

Zou Yunxin was extremely annoyed, and finally he could only grab the aluminum alloy and press it down in anger.

This aluminum alloy should generate heat as expected. Although it is a composite material, the main metal is still aluminum.

Sure enough, a wave of heat hit their faces, the temperature around them gradually rose, and everyone retreated.

Just when Zou Yunxin was about to withdraw his hand in frustration, Lu Yuning suddenly felt a gust of hot wind blowing on his face.

He was stunned for a moment, then murmured in disbelief: "No way"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xinyue asked.

"Just now I felt... Why did I feel the wind blowing towards me?"

"what?"

“Could it be wind energy?”

“This is outrageous.”

"It's hard to say. After all, we've seen the most outrageous ones."

The conversation between the two attracted everyone around them, and everyone was stunned when they heard Lu Yuning's explanation.

This aluminum alloy seems to have the ability to convert solar energy into wind energy under the influence of supernatural powers.

"It should be another metal in the alloy. This material is usually a combination of aluminum and other metals, but it's hard to confirm. Zinc is more likely, but we need to first confirm whether it is wind energy."

"Then I'll try again," Zou Yunxin suddenly became excited.

Everyone gathered around with renewed interest.

A few minutes later.

"It really is the wind, how outrageous!"

"However, the mixture of these two metals does feel a bit like a hot air conditioner."

"As for the wind, is it because of the pressure difference on the outside of the metal?"

Everyone started talking.

Lu Yuning said, "Anyway, it's better to have it than not. I don't know how to use it yet."

Zhang Xinyue's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it possible to use the hot air balloons we researched before? Didn't they say that they were difficult to control?"

Lu Yuning seemed to be thinking about something, and then her expression gradually became excited. "Indeed, it fits the description perfectly. We can't separate the metals right now, so it's hard to make this into equipment for human use. However, hot air balloons do require both thermal energy and wind energy."

Thus, a new manufacturing plan was born: hot air balloon!

Judging from the materials currently available, this is possible.

"If we really make this thing, wouldn't it be able to fly very far?" Wu Xiao asked.

Lu Yuning shook his head. "I'm afraid it won't work. The stability is too poor. Unless it can be made very large, otherwise, if a gust of wind comes, I don't know where it will be blown away. Besides, birds in the sky are also a huge threat. In short, even if it is made, it must be used with caution."

It is still difficult to make a stable long-distance aircraft. Neither the energy nor the materials are within their capabilities at the moment, so it is not realistic to consider using hot air balloons as a long-distance exploration tool for the time being.

However, if used against the enemy, it would definitely be a powerful weapon, especially if they have enough bombs.

The production of hot air balloons is still somewhat difficult, but they have several important abilities, one is Zhang Qian's heat control, and the second is Li Wengang's ability.

The reason why Lu Yuning was confident in making a hot air balloon was that they had Li Wengang's weight-reduction ability. This was actually very important, as it was equivalent to reducing the difficulty of making a hot air balloon in disguise.

They can be made with less energy and more stable materials. The discussion on Zou Yun's new ability development and the hot air balloon has come to an end for the time being.

Time was pressing, so Lu Yuning first sent someone to deliver the small motor to the branch and asked them to be responsible for the research on electricity.

He himself was planning to go to the forest area with Liu Rui, Han Yingying and others.

Mainly heading for the bird's nest.

Since Xu Qi was not there, Lu Yuning was really worried because they had to act on their own.

His idea was to dig a passage directly into the tree trunk where the bird's nest was located. Even if the owner of the bird's nest really discovered it, there would be no need to worry too much. This would be much safer.

After everything was ready, a group of six set off. In addition to a few key figures, they also brought Zhang Xinyue and Wu Xiao.

One is responsible for exploration and the other is responsible for transportation.

There are actually two goals for this trip, one is feathers and the other is bird eggs.

Although food is quite abundant now, it is better to take it if it is free. Another idea is to hatch poultry eggs. The main thing is food diversity, the richer the better.

Besides, birds are also intelligent creatures, but it's a pity that Xu Qi is not here.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuning suddenly became depressed. He quickly shook his head and forced himself not to think about it.

They soon arrived at their destination.

Judging from the few feathers that fell on the ground, this should be the nest of a turtledove.

Most birds usually build nests and lay eggs in spring, but turtledoves lay eggs in spring and autumn, and now is the perfect season.

I just don’t know if there are many feathers in this nest. There are quite a few of them now, and a few feathers are obviously not enough.

The six of them collected all the feathers on the ground and then prepared to climb the tree.

This bird's nest is about three or four meters from the ground. I don't know why the turtledove chose this place.
Lu Yuning originally wanted Zhang Xinyue to check the bird's nest, but a bird's cry came out first.

Several people were startled at once, and the sound seemed to be coming from above.

The group of people didn't dare to breathe, and Zhang Xinyue quickly used her special powers to investigate.

Zhang Xinyue whispered: "There is an adult bird on it, and it seems to be hatching eggs."

Everyone was stunned. It seemed that there really was an egg.

But now it is a problem, mainly because we don’t know when the bird that is incubating the eggs will leave. The incubation period usually takes at least ten days.

It was obviously too late to wait for it to hatch.

Lu Yuning frowned. Now he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

However, he was not thinking about whether to retreat first, but whether he could catch and kill the turtledove.

This is a rare opportunity. If they can kill this turtledove, their harvest will definitely be rich.

Not only are there endless feathers, but the entire nest of bird eggs can also be carried back.

But killing this feathered bird is not an easy task. Even their strongest thermite egg may not be able to kill it, mainly because its body is too large for them.

Moreover, if the thermite bomb can kill the bird, it's fine. But if it fails, you will basically not be able to get the feathers in the bird's nest.

So he wondered if he could tie it up with some material.

But he didn't bring too much aluminum this time.
Lu Yuning was suddenly stunned, then patted his head, as if he remembered something.

"It's decided. Let's go and catch it," Lu Yuning said to several people.
