Chapter 71 Testing Electrical Equipment

The master of Zehui Mountain arrived later this year than in previous years, not until mid-January when he came to Xiangjiao Island.

However, it brought something different with it this time.

Originally, it only carried some Force food on its back each time it came, but this year it also carried a whole set of electrical equipment on its back.

The equipment was fixed to its shell by a specially made metal bracket. In addition to a half-meter square hydroelectric generator, there was a storage tank of about the same size, as well as various switch accessories. Rolls of wires were wrapped around it, making it look completely different from the Zerg civilization.

"Is this the electrical equipment?" In class, the young soldiers looked at the thing with curiosity.

At this moment, all the little soldiers were crowded at the classroom door, their antennae raised high. Some even couldn't resist stretching out their forelegs, trying to touch the cold metal shell, but were knocked away by the Lord of Zehui Mountain with his pincers.

The Lord of Zehui Mountain has been teaching them about electricity for more than two years, and has even conducted simple battery experiments using lemons, metal sheets, and wires.

Those linked lemons can indeed deflect tiny magnetic needles, make strips of paper coated with a special solution emit a faint light, and produce a tingling sensation.

Its nature is similar to the electric current cast by warriors with lightning-type talents, but this is the first time they have seen a large-scale, truly useful electrical device.

"Yes, this is the electrical equipment." Lord Zehui removed the items from his armor one by one and introduced them to everyone: "This is a small hydroelectric generator, and this is a storage box, which can store the generated electricity for later use."

There are also ten light bulbs and over two hundred meters of power cord, enough to illuminate a range of several hundred meters.

Lord Qingguo, who was watching from the side, curiously examined the generator: "Lord Zehui, how does this electrical box work? We have quite a few streams on our island, how do you install it?"

"It's very simple to use. I brought it here specifically to teach everyone how to use it and how to prevent it." The Lord of Zehui Mountain moved all eight feet at once, his movements precise and steady as he picked up an electric wire, stripped off the insulation at the end, revealing the copper-colored core wire inside.

It inserted the core wire into the terminal block of the power storage box and secured it firmly with a knob. Its movements were methodical, and each step was clearly displayed to the young warrior and Lord Qingguo.

Next, it had the Green Fruit Lord use its earth-based abilities to fix objects like electrical wires in place.

Lord Qingguo immediately responded and, following Lord Zehui's instructions, lifted the wires and installed them along the classroom wall, securing them with earth-based abilities.

Then, the master of Zehui Mountain manipulated the spider silk to install light bulbs in predetermined positions above the classroom.

The bulb base and the wires fit together perfectly, and finally all the ends of the wires were brought together and connected to a palm-sized wooden switch.

The master of Zehui Mountain continued to adjust the energy storage box below, occasionally turning the knob on it to check if the circuit was working properly.

The young soldiers watched intently, barely daring to breathe, afraid of missing a single detail.

After fiddling around for most of the day, the sun was already setting in the west, and golden sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves of the classroom, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Lord Zehui finally straightened up, turned around, and nodded to Lord Qingguo: "It's done!"

"Is that all?" Lord Greenfruit asked, quite surprised. "Then how do we make them light up?"

"Making them light up is simple." With that, Master Zehui manipulated the switch hanging on the wall. With a gentle press, the entire classroom was immediately enveloped in light, and some rays shone out through the classroom windows. The originally dim yellow sky seemed to brighten up.

Looking at the classroom filled with soft light, Lord Qingguo was quite surprised: "It's just like daytime now!"

"Pretty much. But this light lasts much longer than the sun; as long as the bulb doesn't break, it will stay on indefinitely."

Lord Qingguo was somewhat puzzled: "Then this only illuminates one classroom. Didn't you say it could illuminate the entire Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe?"

I don't think it can reach Purple Ridge and Flower Ridge. If that's all, then it's probably worth more than 500 million raw stones, right?

Master Zehui explained, "This is just a small generator I brought for everyone to experiment with, to get everyone used to it. The real large generator hasn't been brought over yet."

Moreover, this light is connected to an electrical wire. As long as the wire is long enough, even if it is 10,000 meters or 100,000 meters long, the light bulb can still emit light.

Therefore, in addition to constructing leakage protection facilities, we also need to build channels for laying electrical wires, from Daqingfeng to Ziling, and from Ziling to Hualing, to lay electrical circuits.

The young soldiers paid no attention to what they were saying and curiously played with the wires.

Although Teacher Zehui had taught them that wires were dangerous, they didn't care. They were all Force warriors, and they had seen insectoid warriors with lightning talents before. They felt that they were nothing special.

If they don't care, they have nothing to fear; they just play by themselves.

It wasn't until the two little soldiers were playing that they accidentally tore open the rubber covering of the wire, exposing the metal inside. They were then shocked by the current and fell to the ground, convulsing. Only then were they frightened enough to stop playing.

Lord Zehui calmly stepped forward and turned off the power switch, then held the wire and looked at the trembling little soldiers: "Having fun, huh? Want to keep playing?"

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore." Upon hearing the words of the Lord of Zehui Mountain, the other young soldiers, like frightened birds, immediately ran to a place ten meters away from those power lines.

Lord Zehui used spider silk to wrap the damaged power line and reminded Lord Qingguo, "The current in this power line is the same as the energy of lightning. If it is not properly protected, it will also cause a wildfire, so protective measures must be taken."

Lord Zili glanced at the two little warriors who were twitching from the electric shock, and finding that they were not seriously injured, he solemnly moved his antennae: "Lord Zehui, please rest assured, I will notify everyone from the novice little warriors to the lord-level warriors, and I will make sure they use them carefully."

"That's good!"

In the following period, as arranged by the Lord of Zehui Mountain, the Rhinoceros Golden Turtle Warriors, who possessed earth-type talents, began to create slots for placing electrical wires in the mountains.

Their tribal warriors like to fly around, so it's impossible to lay power lines in the air. Therefore, the power lines to be built are radiating outwards from Ziling to Daqingfeng, Lanling, and Hualing.

According to the guidance of the master of Zehui Mountain, these card slot lines are built underground, which not only need to be clearly marked, but also need to be waterproofed, which is quite troublesome.

Of course, while these things were being done, things within the tribe continued as usual.

Zerg warriors should evolve as needed, life forms should be pollinated as needed, and trees should be cultivated as needed.

In this peaceful yet busy life, after more than seven months, the yew finally completed the cultivation of the divinely bestowed seed of red cherry!
