Peng Gang swallowed hard and asked, "Could this behemoth weigh more than 70 tons?"
Li Zecheng shook his head and said seriously, "I once read an article that said when a fish struggles in the water, the force it generates can be more than three times its own weight. This behemoth is even stronger and bigger. Even if it only weighs 20 tons, the force it generates when it struggles could easily exceed 70 tons!"
"Therefore, I suggest that to deal with this behemoth, we cannot pull it by force. We can only pull it repeatedly, like fishing, or we can make new tools and use pulleys to distribute the force borne by the crane."
Jiang Wu agreed, "Let's do it your way and get ready. Wu Ming, take the field platoon and take back that village we just saw. Bring some live zombies over as bait. The giant beast footprints we saw over there must be from this mutated beast. Since it's running out, it must be trying to catch zombies to eat."
After Li Zecheng and Wu Ming left, Jiang Wu asked casually, "Old Sheng, what do you think of these plants?"
Sheng Huaiqiang thought for a moment and said, "Although these plants are much larger than the aquatic plants I saw before the apocalypse, I can recognize them as water hyacinths. There used to be a lot of these things growing in the ponds of our village. Some people would fish them out to eat or feed them to chickens and ducks. But now they have mutated. I wonder what they taste like."
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "Minister Li from the Ministry of Agriculture told me that something was wrong with the vegetables growing in the base; they were growing too fast. I didn't take it seriously at first, but now I realize that even plants can mutate. The water hyacinths that used to be grown are now dozens of times larger. Do you think the pumpkins and tomatoes we grow might also become abnormal?"
Sheng Huaiqiang exclaimed with delight, "If it really mutates and can still be eaten, that would be a great thing for our base! If the pumpkins grow dozens of times larger, wouldn't each pumpkin weigh over a thousand pounds?"
Jiang Wu laughed and said, "Now that you say that, I'm really looking forward to it."
This made Sheng Huaiqiang and the others laugh.
Even Bai Feiming and Su Ziyu smiled.
