Since Han Lie arranged the refugees into the base, although some people still complained, they could see the benefits. They solved many things on their own. Although the food problem had not been solved, after they entered the base, although they did not have enough to eat, they would not be hungry. As for the hot weather, Shangguan and I summoned several people with ice and snow abilities, and they condensed large blocks of ice every day and placed them in the corners of each house. With the relief of the ice, they could still survive.
"Now we need to go out and cut wood before the zombies surround the city. We also need to find more cement and other things. We still need steel bars and iron." Han Lie looked at the people outside who were patrolling, cleaning, and a few researchers who were studying the soil problem.
"Well, now we need to build not only residential buildings at the base, but also research labs and food processing facilities, all of which require electricity." Shangguan Wan looked at the tall figure before her. His upright frame, shone in the blazing sun, made him look like a god descending from the sky. A faint glow shone on one side of his handsome, knife-like face, adding a touch of mystery to his features.
"Wanwan, there should be a lot of talented people in our base. They should be building houses. And do you think someone could develop electricity through some research?" Han Lie remembered that people in the past could generate solar and wind power. Although it's inconvenient now, people today are more advanced in their thinking. If we just remind them of this problem, they'll probably find a solution. If that doesn't work, we can always use a generator.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Shangguan Wan slapped her forehead when she heard what Han Lie said. Why didn't she think of such a problem? She only thought about how to solve it herself. Why didn't she know that the power of the masses is the most powerful? Why didn't she think of the principle that many hands make light work?
"That's a good thing. Go down and make arrangements. Ask around and recruit anyone who's good at physics."
"Okay." Han Lie quickly stood up, kissed Shangguan Wan on the forehead, and went out.
Han Lie told the news to Gu Ying and the others, and called together the people in the base to ask questions. They would not keep anything secret, and as long as it was good for the base, they would bring it out for discussion and research.
"Everyone, we're facing a problem right now, and that's the need for electricity. Without it, many things can't be done. Before electricity, people in China were able to develop wind and solar power generation. We're more flexible now than we were before. I'd like to ask everyone, is there any solution we can research?" Han Lie asked, his deep eyes gazing at the people below. A glimmer of hope lingered in his heart.
"Commander Han, I have a solution," a relatively young boy's voice sounded.
Han Lie immediately locked onto someone in the crowd, his eyes narrowing. This little boy was no more than twenty years old, and his appearance was so ordinary that he would be completely unnoticeable in the crowd.
"Tell me about it."
"Electricity is not generated by thermal or nuclear power. There are many fundamental methods, such as wind, light, pressure heating, etc. The most important ones are friction and magnetic induction."
"Are you talking about static electricity?" Han Lie reacted immediately. Anyone who rubs against something would think of static electricity.
"Yes, static electricity is a type of static charge, or non-flowing. The human body is prone to static electricity. When it comes into contact with other people or conductive metal, a discharge occurs. If we use this principle, we may be able to generate electricity.
Alternatively, magnetic induction, based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, creates a voltage due to the relative motion of a circuit and its components. This is the fundamental principle of a magnetic induction engine. Another example is the photoelectric effect. When exposed to electromagnetic waves above a certain frequency, electrons within certain materials are excited by photons, generating an electric current.
The three methods I mentioned above are the most effective." The little boy's eyes shone brightly when he said this.
"Can you complete it alone?" Han Lie thought that he understood it so clearly, and wondered if one person could complete it.
"As long as you gather all the things for me, I can do it by myself, but there are so few things now." The little boy thought about it and realized that the most important thing was that he had nothing.
"Write down what you need and our people will find it." Han Lie knew that this was a big project but if it succeeded, they would really be saved.
"Okay." The little boy agreed without even thinking. This made Han Lie look at him a little more. He had such a brain at such a young age, not bad.
It is said that everyone has their own expertise. They have a thorough understanding of firearms, but are completely clueless when it comes to electricity. Although they understand his introduction, they are afraid that only he can do it if they want to.
