doomsday survival

Chapter 223
The appearance of electricity surprised the people of the Chang'an tribe at home. Many people didn't even understand why it could emit light without lighting a fire, and it was much brighter than candles.

With this kind of novelty in mind, people would come to Shi Jian's house from time to time to stop and have a look. Some people who are familiar with Shi Jian's family would also visit the house and take the opportunity to have a better look.

When these people entered the room, they found that Shi Jian was shaking a wooden handle at a constant speed. on top of a stand-up light source.

The dazzling white light from the light source suddenly looked so bright that people dare not look directly at it. It was countless times brighter than a candle.

"Well, this one is good, it's bright enough for me to sew a needle?" said a white-haired old lady with her mouth puckered.

"Of course, you don't want to see who made it, but Principal Shi, I heard that he..." Another old lady lowered her voice as she spoke.

Hearing her words, the face of the old lady in front changed a little, and she looked at Shi Jian with a different taste.

Shi Jian didn't care about other people's comments. He kept shaking the handle made by Zhang Dongjie to let the motor continue to generate electricity to prevent the light source from going out.

The light source is actually an LED desk lamp, and the rechargeable battery it carries has long been useless. Fortunately, the electrolyte inside has not leaked out.Otherwise, the circuit of the desk lamp would have been corroded and unable to work.

The input voltage of the desk lamp is only 9 volts, while the output voltage of the motor is 21 volts, but this difference is still difficult for Shi Jian, and it is solved by only connecting a small resistor in series to divide the voltage.

More and more people came to visit Shi Jian's lamps, and they were amazed and amazed after seeing them.In order to continue to maintain the power supply, Shi Jian has changed hands several times. He feels that if another person comes, then his two arms must be disabled tomorrow.

When he wanted to stop the power generation and let himself take a rest, Xia Qianhe rushed over in person.

Unlike people born after the end of the world who have almost no impression of electrical appliances, Xia Qianhe lived in the old era until he was 12 years old, so he is quite familiar with electrical appliances.

However, after more than [-] years, Xia Qianhe couldn't help but shed two lines of old tears when he saw an electric light that could be lit again.

"I'm not dreaming, old brother, is this a desk lamp? Is that a generator?" Xia Qianhe said to Feng Kuang with a trembling voice, pointing his fingers back and forth between the desk lamp and the motor.

At the beginning of the end of the world, the lack of electricity made many people uncomfortable, but compared to survival, this is not the point.But Xia Qianhe has lived a relatively comfortable life for 50 years in the apocalypse, and the more time passes, the more he misses his previous life.Today, he was finally able to see the electric lights of the old era, and the excitement was beyond words.

Feng Kuang can understand his feelings. A person living in 2023, no matter how poor he is, has a great sense of dependence on various electrical appliances. He is a person from that era. I believe Shi Jian is the same, otherwise It is absolutely impossible to get the generator out in such a hurry.

"Brother, you read that right, we," Feng Kuang also said with some excitement, "we have electricity again, and the light will always be with us from now on."

Xia Qianhe was so excited that his lips trembled, and it took him a long time to shout loudly: "Great!" Then he asked Shi Jian again: "Shi Jian, can this be given to my family, no, it can be installed in every family. One?"

"Great Elder, this can't work, we have too few supplies, and look," Shi Jian said with a wry smile, "I don't dare to stop now, there is no battery, as soon as I stop, the lamp will immediately turn off." I'm almost out of strength."

"It can't be stopped, it can't be stopped, come on, let me shake it." Xia Qianhe said and came over to insist on taking over Shi Jian.

Shi Jian had no choice but to let him hand the crank into Xia Qianhe's hands, and stop to rest by himself.

"This is electricity." Xia Qianhe murmured to himself while shaking the handle.

Xia Qianhe's arrival caused the people in the room who were still watching the western view to disperse one after another, and the room quickly became quiet, only the creaking sound of Xia Qianhe shaking the handle.

Shi Jian had almost rested, so he replaced Xia Qianhe. The latter was still a little reluctant, but his sore arm made him hand over the handle to Shi Jian.

"Brother, and Shi Jian, isn't it true that every family can install one?" Xia Qianhe asked a little bit unwillingly.

"Grand Elder, you also know that many of the materials from the old era are no longer usable. Even this motor took a lot of trouble to get it out. If every family has one, it really can't be done. Arrived." Shi Jian replied.

Xia Qianhe pondered for a while, and then said: "We have cleaned up so many old areas this time, can't we find some usable ones?"

Shi Jian said: "Maybe there will be some more, but this is all I have on hand. I have to look for the details to find out, but there is not much hope."

Xia Qianhe could understand the meaning of Shi Jian's words, and he also knew that there was some unhappiness between Shi Jian and Wang Lie, which was mainly caused by cleaning up the old district.If I follow Shi Jian's words, then I support Shi Jian to go to the old district, which is definitely inappropriate.

Thinking of this, Xia Qianhe finally said: "Let's take another look in the old district, even if we can find one more, it would be a good thing to install it in the dining hall."

"Okay, then I'll search again in two days, maybe I can really find one. However," Shi Jian pointed to the motor, and said to Xia Qianhe, "I have to study it in these two days, there are not so many time."

Xia Qianhe nodded in understanding, and said to Shi Jian: "If you can find it, try your best to find it. We can do many things with electricity." After speaking, he walked outside the door. After a pause, he said, "If you really need it, you can also try it in the old district."

After hearing what Xia Qianhe said, Shi Jian didn't understand what it meant for a long time, so he asked Feng Kuang, "I didn't say what happened to him? He even revealed that he wanted me to go to the old district just because there was an electric light at home." mean."

Feng Kuang said with a smile: "I don't think he is for the electric light, he really knows the use of electricity. Do you think he is a person who enjoys it by himself?"

Xia Qianhe's attire just now flashed before Shi Jian's eyes. Although several sets of clothes had been distributed to all the fallen people, Xia Qianhe was still wearing the patched clothes without any change.

However, when he thought of Xia Qianhe's forty-something wife, he couldn't help but speak out.

"I didn't say that, what are you laughing at?" Feng Kuang asked.

"Hehe, I thought of someone from his family." Shi Jian said with a smile.

Feng Kuang filtered Xia Qianhe's family members in his mind, and immediately knew the reason for Shi Jian's laugh. He glared at Shi Jian, but immediately laughed too.

The two of them laughed, but they forgot the question of whether Xia Qianhe is a person who likes to enjoy himself or not.However, this question is not the main point, the point is that Xia Qianhe finally started to have the idea of ​​going out, which made Shi Jian and Feng Kuang very satisfied.

However, it is still too early to go to the old area. They are now focusing on this generator, striving to achieve perfection.

Although they didn't think about when to go to the old area, the news had already reached Wang Lie who was still in the lime kiln.

Ever since Shi Jian left, Wang Lie has never left there. Every day he took a group of people to those villages and searched them wantonly. None of the bad nails were left behind.

The collected materials could not be transported back to the tribe for a while, Wang Lie asked people to build a wooden shed, and directly piled the materials in the lime kiln.

Feng Chen felt a little inconceivable about Wang Lie's approach, so he suggested: "Mr. Wang, there is no threat of zombies in the old district now, so we should clean up a village and use it as a warehouse. Anyway, there are cars, so we can go back and forth." It's also more convenient."

Wang Lie held a different opinion. He said: "You can't do this. The farther you go, the less safe you are. Who knows if there will be zombies running over again. Besides, you don't have so much gas to drive back and forth. It's better built here."

Feng Chen thought for a while, and felt that what Wang Lie said was right, so he didn't say any objection. Instead, he admired Wang Lie because of his thoughtfulness.

Since the materials were not in a hurry to be transported back, none of the people went back. They lived next to the lime kiln at night and went to the old area to continue collecting materials during the day.

The news that Shi Jian successfully produced the electricity came from a few people from the Hui tribe who came back to collect supplies and told Wang Lie, otherwise he would not have known that Shi Jian had already got the generator out.

The people who came back not only brought back the news, but also brought back a sentence from Xia Qianhe: "Try to collect the motors and let Shi Jian transform them. If it doesn't work, you can consider going to other places."

After listening to this passage, Wang Lie's eyebrows were knitted together. He was very dissatisfied with Xia Qianhe's statement, but he couldn't express it. After a while, he said: "Who knows what kind of motor? Let's talk about it." Now, except for the house that can’t be moved, everything else has been shipped over, let Shi Jian find it by himself.”

"What's wrong with electricity? Hasn't it been more than 50 years without electricity? What's the use of getting those things? Just like this car, it's a waste without oil. It's not as good as the two carts I found yesterday. Go inside." Wang Lie complained in his heart.

Thinking about it, Wang Lie suddenly came up with an idea: "If Shi Jian doesn't understand that knowledge, wouldn't there be such troubles?"
