Chapter 227: Survival at Sea, Day 7 (1) Homemade Lightning Protection Facility (……
After a quick search, there were no device processes related to "thunder" or "electricity".
After entering the sea survival, the world has become extremely lively. Now there are thousands of people even in the cross-server chat.
Yu Miaomiao switched between the chat logs to see if she could get any useful information from the other person.
In the chat of this server, most of the exchanges are text messages, but in the cross-server chat, many people are sending voice messages.
"Perfume is poisonous: I also had thunder here, and it's a metal house, so it's okay. Why worry about it?"
This message is a 6-second voice message with a text message translated by the system on the voice bar.
Every voice message is analyzed and recorded by the system as it is sent, so it is impossible to convey secret information through voice.
"Strawberry: I'm just a little worried, why are you so mad?"
"Lemon: Can you please stop pretending? You're not disgusting enough on this server, and now you're cross-server cross-dressing. Just stupid."
She scrolled through the chat history and found that some people from other servers had also seen the lightning and were a little worried, but many people came out to say that lightning had flashed overhead and nothing had happened. The survivors would definitely not die easily in this weather, especially strong ones like them. The system would not let them die.
How did this mysterious theory of self-confidence come about?
Not even worrying about it, they just chatted leisurely about the world, as if they didn't take this apocalyptic weather seriously at all.
Was she really not worried, or was she well prepared? After reading dozens of chats, she found that none of them touched on real survival issues, so she simply switched back to her own server to chat.
When I returned to the server to chat, the scene immediately changed.
"I didn't want to come here: Have you noticed the frequency of lightning? Five are far away and two are close?"
"Hehe: Hehe, I'm alone here for now, and the lightning within my visible range is three far away and one near."
"My Lie in April: The power of lightning seems to be different for everyone. I have someone here who was struck by lightning outdoors before. Although he was knocked unconscious, he has regained consciousness after using a high-level medical kit. Another brother in the world just told me that one of his companions was directly reduced to charcoal outdoors."
Seeing this set of rhetoric, Yu Miaomiao immediately became alert, as she would be more likely to encounter more difficult situations in advance.
"Green Bubble added me: If lightning really has patterns, then as long as we're not outdoors when the lightning strikes close to us, we'll be safe. From what I've seen so far, even a metal house is safe."
"Chenchen: I feel like this is a bit of a survivor's theory. Those who can speak here are all survivors, but that doesn't mean that metal houses are necessarily safe. After all, water and metal are conductive. If the house is damp or we are close to metal parts, it may be dangerous."
"Parallel Lines: How did the person above survive so long, even though he's so afraid of death? Could it be that he's somehow managed to cling to someone powerful, or inherited some meow-inspired group leader, and only managed to get the good stuff he deserves to be alive today?"
According to her observation, this parallel line was originally from the Tiandihui, but later it was revealed that it was Chen Qiang's people.
If Chen Qiang died, combined with her analysis of the lies she told two days ago and in April, he died at the hands of Wang Bingliang. Then many of the bad remarks against Miaomiao Buqshui in the world were instigated by Wang Bingliang.
"Meow meow, you're not short of water: If your mouth isn't clean, rinse it out with seawater more often and don't come out and embarrass yourself. If you want to have a proper discussion, then do it in public. If you still want to keep making noises in public, especially those who are making indirect accusations, take them away if they have owners. If you don't have owners, shut up. I'm worried about where to use the good weapons I got while surviving in the desert."
After entering the sea world, although Yu Miaomiao did not release any information about the expedition site, she did announce many methods of killing sea monsters. Therefore, many survivors who had not joined any organization could not help but be oriented towards her psychologically, and one by one they followed her and said good things about Miaomiao not lacking water in the world.
"10,000 Watts: Alright, stop praising me. This is a place to discuss survival strategies, not to flatter me. How about we just stop calling it the closed beta server and call it the Meow Meow Survival Server? Meow Meow doesn't need water, so that's enough."
Haha, are you jealous?
Yu Miaomiao laughed when she saw this message.
"Lonely Mother: I know you're powerful, Ten Thousand Watts, and I'm not afraid of offending you. Please don't say that about Meow Meow. She's always been helping us survivors, and even if everyone spontaneously speaks well of her, it won't hurt you at all."
"Beautiful Girl Warrior: Are you jealous? Some people work so hard to start their own guild, but they still don't have as much popularity as Meow God."
Sister Zhuangzhuang's words are a double entendre. Although the people of the Tiandihui occasionally say some weird remarks in the world, they are now much more honest than before.
When having a heart-to-heart talk with Sister Zhuangzhuang, Yu Miaomiao heard that the tricks Yang Haotian used to survive in the desert were actually for the purpose of quickly building up his own power. The more people the better, and then he would eliminate the outliers through internal intrigue.
He only needs to stay behind the scenes throughout the whole process, knowing nothing and not caring about anything. In the end, he only does the selection work, picking out the capable people to keep by his side, and using others to eliminate dissidents and leave behind the loyal elites.
That’s why Sister Zhuangzhuang said that Yang Haotian is definitely not what he seems to be on the surface. He has been hiding and acting.
The furry animals under Yu Miaomiao's command were no longer as scared as they were at the beginning. They gradually adapted to the sound of thunder and instead looked outside with some curiosity, as if they were eager to go out.
Curiosity kills the cat, never let it out.
Yu Miaomiao quickly touched it twice, pushed it back and nodded, "Wait for me inside the house. It's very dangerous outside. I'll be back soon."
Inspired by the world, she just carefully calculated the lightning situation outside the house. There were four distant lightning bolts, one nearby and one overhead lightning bolt.
This frequency will not change as long as her ship does not move and no new humans enter the nearby waters.
Staying indoors all the time is not a solution. If a monster appears, you will have to go out. Going into the sea is definitely not an option. During thunder and lightning, the sea should be a huge conductive field. It is best to deal with it on a wooden float.
Since we are going outside and may be struck by lightning in the open air, we must make a conductive device ourselves.
Someone on the cross-server forum listed a homemade lightning protection facility, and the poster was her dearest Nana, who told Yu Miaomiao privately as soon as she posted it.
Although the roof was covered with rainproof nylon fabric, there was still some metal material connected to the foundation. She always felt that her house was like an invisible conductor.
Of course, she could hide in the fully insulated bed when the nearest thunderstorm came, but Xiaoguai wouldn't do that. He would walk around curiously.
For Xiaoguai's safety, she acted quickly according to the instructions in Nana's post.
Start by sewing the nylon fabric on your workbench into a large piece that will cover the roof.
Then she welded a long pole with metal posts, put it in her backpack, and climbed to the roof in two steps with all her belongings at the same moment the nearest lightning left.
After using the "forced glue" I bought earlier to stick the nylon cloth on, I fixed the metal column to the highest point of the roof. I cut some copper wire and connected it to the metal column until the copper wire was connected to the sea water.
At the same time, a layer of nylon cloth was spread all over the house, and another layer of nylon cloth was glued on the walls inside the house.
Xiaoguai stayed obediently in the house except when she went out. At other times, he followed her closely and was very well-behaved.
Wherever Yu Miaomiao goes, it follows.
She took out some glue and dipped it in nylon cloth. As soon as she laid the floor, Xiaoguai jumped excitedly in the house. Wherever there was an uneven spot, he would pounce on it repeatedly to press the bulge down.
It actually saved her some trouble, and Xiaoguai was also happy.
With the cooperation of the zebra cat, she quickly completed the interior renovation, and the dark-colored fabric covered the entire house like wallpaper.
Half an hour later, she finally completed all the protective work, sat at the door with a sigh of relief, and gnawed on a mutton pot cake, when she saw a new lightning across the sky and land in front of her.
"Boom—"
Because the door was open, the sound of thunder and lightning quickly reached Xiaoguai's ears and lit up the entire sky. Xiaoguai hid in a corner of the house in fear.
Without the sound insulation of the house's exterior walls, Yu Miaomiao felt like her ears were going to be deafened by the thunder.
After the lightning passed, a strange burning smell came from not far away. After a while, several strange-looking fish slowly floated up from the water.
Is it a monster under the sea?
Was it the conduction of the lightning protection equipment she set up that caused death?
After the terrifying lightning passed, Xiaoguai, who was still scared in the last second, appeared next to Yu Miaomiao and was about to run out of the house to play outside.
Yu Miaomiao: ...
What a troublesome cat.
She stopped him, "No, if you go out and get struck by lightning, you'll end up like that fish."
Just then, the fish that had been struck black floated to the side of her boat. She took it back, put it on the ground and showed it to Xiaoguai.
"Meow..."
Xiaoguai understood what she meant and walked back to his cat mat helplessly, fiddling with the rope ball with one paw boredly.
She saw the lightning very clearly just now, and it obviously struck her head, which means that the house will indeed become the target of lightning, and the lightning protection device provided by Nana is effective.
Nana will post it in the cross-server forum so that all survivors can use it. In addition to posting this effective lightning protection measure in the "Team Group Chat", Yu Miaomiao also posted this homemade device after forwarding it under his own strategy post, and even attached a picture to show it.
Soon someone discovered a post and immediately exclaimed in surprise in the comments below.
5731L: Am I seeing this right? This is a picture, right? Meow God actually unlocked the photo function.
5733L: You read that right, this is a photo, and it’s in color. It turns out this system really has a photo function, but we haven’t unlocked it yet. That’s awesome.
5737L: Meow meow is so majestic, meow meow is so mighty. I almost thought that the whole world was filled with NPCs. Until I saw this photo, I really dared to believe that there were real people. I was so moved that I cried!
5738L: Is everything okay upstairs? It's already this late, and you're still lamenting about N not being able to handle NPCs. It's important that you learn how to do it quickly.
Some people on the world channel also spontaneously promoted her posts, and she didn't need to worry about it.
Like Nana, she hopes that more survivors can survive!
“Ding ding.”
"Ten Thousand Watts: You're making such a big fuss about establishing your persona, are you colluding with Ziren to kill me?"
Yu Miaomiao ignored the information and looked at an important resource point found out from the resource search - the Crystal Palace Exploration Site.
