"How could that be? I'm just thinking about a small matter, why would I need your help?"
"Bullshit! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Aren't you just afraid that I'll hold you back because I'm old?"
"Master, if you see through everything but don't say it out loud, we can still be friends!"
"Right...no, wait a minute, do you really think so?" said the old Taoist priest, puffing his beard and glaring.
"No, no, no, it was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!"
"Okay, I really misjudged you! Send me and the Taoist temple back to Mihun Pond, and from now on we will go our separate ways. I will never be a burden to you!" said the old Taoist priest with a sad look.
"Oh, okay. Then, Taoist Priest, when you leave, do you think I should bring you some food, vegetables and meat?" Xu Jianguo asked seriously.
"Well, okay! No, you little bastard, are you really planning to send me back?" The old Taoist said embarrassedly with a slightly red face.
"Hahaha, that's enough, Taoist priest, I won't tease you anymore. Are you really planning to follow me?" Xu Jianguo asked with a smile.
"Of course, first, Funiu is my niece, and I can't just watch her suffer and do nothing. Second, I can't just eat here without working, right? So I have to go!" said the old Taoist priest righteously.
Xu Jianguo thought about it, finally nodded, and said, "Okay, you should take a good rest these few days and adjust to the best condition. I will go to prepare things. When I am ready, we will set off."
When the old Taoist saw that Xu Jianguo agreed, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Xu Jianguo smiled and shook his head. After saying hello to the old Taoist priest, he left Wuwei Temple.
Sitting down in front of the supermarket's checkout counter, Xu Jianguo fell into deep thought. If, as the old Taoist priest said, lightning often strikes in Death Valley, then this place is very likely to be a place struck by lightning.
As we all know, lightning is a discharge phenomenon in the atmosphere, which occurs in cumulonimbus clouds. During the formation of cumulonimbus clouds, some clouds carry positive charges and some clouds carry negative charges.
Their electrostatic induction on the earth causes opposite charges to be generated on the surface of plants or buildings on the ground. When the charges accumulate to a certain level, the electric field strength between clouds of different charges, or between clouds and the earth, can break through the air and start free discharge.
During the discharge process, a large lightning current will appear, followed by strong lightning and loud noise, which is what we call lightning.
The fact that one region has more lightning than other regions, or even forms frequent thunderstorms, is related to its unique geographical location and the conductivity of ground objects.
For example, the well-known Catatumbo lightning phenomenon has been recorded in the Guinness World Records. It is not only the place where thunderstorms occur most frequently in the world, but also the place where the arc formed is the longest in the world.
Catatumbo Lightning
Some experts speculate that this magical natural phenomenon may be because the local soil and rivers contain a large amount of conductive metal elements. Some of these metal elements are suspended in the air, forming a conductor, which causes lightning to strike.
Now that he knew the cause of lightning, Xu Jianguo had to find a way to solve the problem of lightning resistance and protection when he went to Kunlun Death Valley this time. Although he did not know much about meteorology, thanks to the system, he was very proficient in the knowledge of electromagnetic waves, and in his previous life, he also had experience in learning about lightning protection.
In his previous life, in order to acquire a piece of land, he funded the construction of an emergency rescue training center in the Bashu area, which was specifically used to teach people relevant knowledge about emergency rescue, including lightning protection knowledge.
When the center was being accepted, Xu Jianguo accompanied relevant leaders to fully understand the center's training courses and personally experienced some of the projects. What impressed him most, in addition to cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first aid, was the outdoor lightning protection course.
Xu Jianguo clearly remembers that the two staff members were riding in an ordinary car, and the training teacher used a high-voltage discharge device of up to 600,000 volts to discharge electricity into the car to simulate the situation where the car was struck by lightning.
Many leaders and Xu Jianguo who were watching were shocked by the scene before them and broke out in cold sweats. If the two staff members in the car were in danger, then this training center that had just opened would be shut down immediately, and the hundreds of millions of dollars he invested would be lost.
However, everyone's worries were obviously unnecessary. The results of the experiment showed that after the car was hit by high voltage electricity, except for a small part of the indicator light inside the car that was damaged, the other parts were intact, and the two staff members in the car were safe and sound.
Later, after the training teacher’s explanation, Xu Jianguo learned for the first time about the electromagnetic effect called "Faraday cage".
During the Spring Festival this year, Li Dashan asked Xu Jianguo to help the relatives of his deceased comrades. The reward for the system selection task that was triggered at that time was the mastery of electromagnetic wave knowledge, which included relevant content about the "Faraday cage".
So when Xu Jianguo heard the old Taoist priest talk about the frequent thunder and lightning in Death Valley, he began to think about it in his mind.
A Faraday cage generally refers to a cage made of metal or a highly conductive material. This theory was proposed by Michael Faraday, the founder of the field of electromagnetism.
When high voltage electricity is used to shock the Faraday cage, the Faraday cage provides good protection for the equipment inside.
The car shell is mainly composed of metal, which is equivalent to a standard Faraday cage, so even if the car is struck by lightning, the people inside the car can be well protected.
Thinking of this, Xu Jianguo made a decision in his heart. He needed a car, a car that was both off-road capable and comfortable.
His plan was simple. He would use a space portal to send himself and the old Taoist priest to the outskirts of the Death Valley in Kunlun Mountain, and then the two of them would drive into the Death Valley.
In order to prevent the system space from malfunctioning again due to magnetic field interference, Xu Jianguo also needs to be prepared to spend the night in the car until the magic weapon is found.
In this case, in addition to preparing a car, Xu Jianguo also needs to prepare fresh water, food, and various emergency items.
After determining the idea, Xu Jianguo no longer hesitated, took a piece of white paper and started writing.
