Wilderness Redemption Tour

Through the light brought by the lightning just now, Lin Yan already knew what the structure of the wooden tower in front of him was. The lightning rod on the top of the tower, the metal cage on the upper floor, and the metal column in the center of the wooden tower that went straight into the ground, it was like a large Faraday cage.

No wonder Professor Dragic dared to climb in such weather, it turns out to be like this...

Seeing the large Faraday cage behind the laboratory, Lin Yan had a rough guess about Professor Dragic's experiment.

It seems that this crazy scientist wants to use a strong electric current to make the robot move. I don't know what kind of instrument he installed on the robot. This guy can't rub the chip with his bare hands...

Lin Yan could actually think of this joke at this time, and laughed at himself. He rubbed the chips with his hands. Is this something that could be done in an era without even computers?

Standing at the back door of the laboratory, Lin Yan saw Professor Dragic appear smoothly on the upper floor of the wooden tower, but the "switch" he mentioned seemed to have encountered some problems. Lin Yan saw him standing there tinkering for a long time, muttering to himself, scratching his head from time to time, and stamping his feet from time to time. During this period, several lightning bolts struck the lightning rod on the top of the tower. After being guided by the Faraday cage, these currents were successfully guided into the ground. The entire wooden tower, the internal equipment, and Professor Dragic who repeatedly tried in front of the "switch" were all unharmed.

The three of them were stunned by the sight of the electric snakes crawling along the iron cage above and moving down the metal pillar in an orderly manner. Lin Yan had only learned about this phenomenon from books, but it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. His shock was almost the same as that of Arthur Sadie, who did not know this principle.

Arthur recovered from the shock just now, licked his dry lips and said, "Oh my god... How did this crazy inventor do it? Did you see that? He and the tower were not damaged at all by these lightning strikes?"

"That's right...it looks like he is guiding and utilizing the lightning..." Sadie also muttered with her mouth wide open.

Lin Yan, who knew about this physical phenomenon, did not intend to explain the principle to the two. After all, they did not even know the most basic physics knowledge related to electricity. Even if he explained it to them from the beginning, they would probably not understand. It would be better to remain silent from the beginning and let electricity always remain a mystery in the hearts of these two people.

"It's done! Haha!" When the fifth lightning struck and was successfully led underground by the lightning rod, Professor Dragic, who had been fiddling with the switch for nearly five minutes, cheered and ran towards the ladder with his hands and feet dancing.

After watching the electric snakes moving around the iron cage for several times, Arthur was a little tired of it. Seeing Professor Dragic's cheers, he coughed lightly, rubbed his eyes and said, "It seems that he succeeded. Now let's see if he can make the tin man move."

If this happened in reality, Lin Yan would be 100% sure that this was impossible, but this was in the game world, and it was a mission involving Arthur. Lin Yan would find it strange if he couldn't move.

In fact, when Lin Yan saw the robot, he suspected that this mission was Rockstar's tribute to the novel "Frankenstein", because the scenes were too similar. The rainy day with frequent lightning, the crazy scientist, the remote and gloomy laboratory, perhaps to cater to the personality of Professor Dragic Tesla, the production team replaced the original human corpse that was stitched together in the movie with a robot.

Looking at Professor Dragic who slid down the ladder holding on to both ends, Lin Yan murmured quietly: "I wonder if this guy will be like the protagonist in the novel, scared half to death by the robot coming to life..."

"Are you all ready to witness a miracle?" Professor Dragic covered his head and trotted towards the laboratory.

"Of course." Arthur let him in, "I hope your second try will be successful."

"Second time?" Professor Dragic snorted and corrected himself while operating the machines again: "I have tried this countless times. The weather is good today and we have collected enough electricity. I will definitely make the miracle happen again this time."

Before closing the last gate, he reminded Arthur who was standing next to the cage, "Stay away from the middle. I don't want anyone to get killed because of this."

After everyone present had moved a sufficient distance away, Professor Dragic solemnly pulled down the final gate.

The lights in the entire laboratory went out instantly, and the glass sphere with a diameter of about one meter, which was suspended above the robot's head and which Lin Yan originally thought was a decoration of the laboratory, began to release a steady stream of electric current to the robot below. This was the first time that Lin Yan saw an electric current with purple light. In Lin Yan's intuitive feeling, the power of this electric current was even more dangerous than the lightning outdoors. The entire laboratory was instantly enveloped by the violent sizzling sound of the electric current, which easily drowned out the sound of wind and rain outside the laboratory. The few people closest to the sound source had to cover their ears to barely resist the noise.

At the moment of the electric shock, the robot's eyes lit up, and the pointers of the four dashboards on its chest and waist left afterimages. Lin Yan, who was covering his ears and squinting his eyes, even had the leisure to think about why the light bulbs that served as its eyes did not explode in such a strong electric current.

The entire discharge process lasted about ten seconds. As the indoor lights came back on, everyone in the laboratory witnessed a scene that they would never forget.

I saw the robot in front of me tremblingly raising its right arm, which was still flashing with electric sparks. It lowered its head and looked at the raised arm, while its right hand slightly turned, as if it was getting familiar with its own body.

Professor Dragic was undoubtedly the most excited of the four. Looking at his robot moving, he raised his arms and shouted excitedly: "He's alive! Did you see that? My child...is alive!"

After saying this, he let out a crazy laugh.

"It actually... moved..." Arthur stared blankly at the robot in the iron cage whose movements were getting bigger and bigger.

Sadie also stared blankly at this scene that she dared not even think about, and whispered softly: "We actually witnessed the birth of a new life..."

"Yes, I created a brand new life." Professor Dragic took two steps forward, staring at his creation with burning eyes, "Look at him, is he the same as us?"

At this time, the robot, whose upper body was fully active, began to try to move its legs. It stretched out its right leg while keeping its upper body in a stiff position. After taking a step smoothly, Lin Yan saw that its left leg wanted to follow, but this step completely broke its body balance. Unable to maintain its body balance, it took another step forward by inertia and fell straight to the ground.
