Chapter 237: Survival at Sea Day 8 (9) The idea of a perpetual motion machine...
Yes, no one dares to stay in one place for too long, because the longer they stay, the thicker the fog will be. But as long as the ship starts moving, it will definitely consume the durability of various parts of the hull.
In theory, all survivors' current buildings will have a generator installed, which is synthesized in the system synthesis guide, but it can only be used to power various hull components.
Once the thrusters and engines are used at high frequencies, their durability will drop rapidly, and the power generation organs will need to be replenished.
Just like a crossbow, although you need to use arrows to shoot, the durability will drop quickly if you use it too much.
If Yu Miaomiao were to travel as fast as she is now, she would have to use up 1-2 power generating organs to replenish her endurance in less than a day.
With such frequent use, the system still does not provide an output method. Is it because it does not want the survivors to escape from the foggy area, or does it want all the survivors to gather in a place without fog?
While driving, Yu Miaomiao kept using a thermal detector to observe the surroundings. She had already captured thermal images of several groups of humans.
It seems that there are many people in the nearby sea area who, like them, have discovered the direction of the fog and want to cross this area to reach the safe sea area to spend the night.
There was a tacit understanding that even though they couldn't see each other's game nicknames on the wall due to the fog, they would choose to avoid each other and slowly move away.
So until now Yu Miaomiao still didn't understand why those who are not short of money are so confident to become the sea bullies, or whether they have reasons to stay there.
Yu Miaomiao has a waterproof generator. Since it is not an item in the system synthesis guide, it cannot be connected to the hull equipment. It also needs to be charged and used when there is sufficient sunlight. The usage conditions are more stringent than solar panels. In today's foggy weather, this generator is also out of service.
No, it's raining and thundering, and now it's foggy. This machine has not been used many times since we came to the sea to survive. Why is it running again now?
This machine was different from the normal machines she had seen in modern times. It was a device that was half above water and half underwater. Because the battery had run out, she placed it in a corner of the bow. Now, this machine glowed white in the gray fog, and even the connected searchlight lit up.
When Yu Miaomiao walked past the workbench, she passed by Xiaoguai who was sleeping soundly. She also heard what people in the world said, and then she understood why Xiaoguai could sleep so well.
Many people say that after smelling the smoke from a green core explosion, they will suddenly feel dizzy and even lose consciousness instantly. If the smoke does not dissipate, they will see even stranger illusions.
Yu Miaomiao didn't feel it because she had been using the tortoise breathing technique, so she only inhaled a very small amount of smoke, and she killed all the monsters at once, so she was not affected by the other monsters in the mist. Xiaoguai, an animal that is different from humans, probably inhaled too much because it was too close, causing drowsiness.
In this kind of weather, the waterproof generator is useless, so she never paid attention to this machine. Since its usage scenario is not high, she only made one. Now a striking number is lit on this strange model machine: power generation capacity - 100%.
The fog was clearly getting thicker, but how come it was charging? Moreover, as the power increased, the searchlight connected to the generator became brighter than before. It was obviously the generator.
As she got closer, she could still hear the sound of water splashing from under the boat.
There is a small solar panel on the upper part of the generator, and a long metal pancake extending underwater at the lower end. At first, Yu Miaomiao thought it was some kind of conductive facility, but when he looked through the gap, he saw that the pancake-shaped object was spinning rapidly underwater.
Rotate?
Is it because her ship was traveling fast and therefore had enough kinetic energy to drive the metal plate?
As usual, the system does not specify the specific usage of the generator in the item description. This is another hidden function of the item.
No wonder it is waterproof, some parts must be underwater so that it can generate electricity even when rolling rapidly.
This is also a small gain.
“Ding ding.”
"Chenchen: Meow God, I seem to have encountered a barrier formed by fog and flying insects. They don't completely block the road, but I can't tell which is the road and which is the barrier. As the boat moves forward, it bumps and jolts, and it takes several attempts at trial and error to find the right path. This is significantly impacting our progress. Could you tell me where you bought your searchlight? I'd like to buy one, too. So far, Ziren has been the only one selling it, but when I asked him the price, he quoted me an exorbitant price of 1,000 units of slime."
It’s really a sky-high price.
Since you charge a sky-high price to others, why sell it cheaply to yourself?
Not only was it sold cheaply to Yu Miaomiao, it was also sold cheaply to Lulu, so Lulu naturally bought it all.
Yu Miaomiao glanced at Chenchen's position and found that he was indeed some distance away from her.
She thought about it and sent a message to Ziren.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Do you still have a searchlight? Can you sell it?"
"Is Ziren here? Did you kill him for money?"
ah?
By the way, Ziren was saying before that their old owner wanted a head that was not short of money, but Yu Miaomiao just left after taking care of that person.
"Is Ziren here? I said I had money. I hired someone to kill him. The old owner rewarded me with a lot of things. I'll give you a searchlight as well."
ha?
The next second, the other party sent a transaction request.
Could it be that he wants to convey some message?
Yu Miaomiao clicked to accept, and a brand new searchlight appeared in her backpack.
She looked carefully with the flashlight and found a new transparent board in the old place, with a strip of cloth inside.
He took out a piece of cloth with only a few short words written on it: He was not short of money and took away a tunnel facility and supplies from the sea.
So, Ziren really gave her a precious searchlight and told her some material information.
This behavior made Yu Miaomiao completely confused. Did Ziren have a conspiracy, or was he simply having a change of heart?
Underground facilities and massive amounts of supplies. Could it be that the supplies are in that oxygen chamber? That's why Li Zhaodi seemed hesitant to speak before.
"Miaomiao is not short of water: Chenchen, I have a spare one. I'll lend it to you first. When you meet me, just return it to me. By the way, have you checked the oxygen chamber brought by Buchaqian's men? What's inside?"
"Chenchen: How can you be so shameless, Meow God! I'll pay your rental fee."
"Chenchen: The stuff in the oxygen chamber is... quite scary. Besides the decaying human torsos, there are also some bound monster corpses, various strange props, and even a recently deceased survivor. Zhaodi used a mid-level medical kit on him, but still couldn't save him. The stench in the chamber is unbearable, so we want to wait until the smell dissipates a bit before conducting a thorough search."
Yu Miaomiao: ...
The air around her was a little thin, making her feel a little breathless.
When she killed Bu Cha Qian, she only picked up a space container bag with a bottle of water and a few buns. Probably most of the things were in the aerobic chamber or the tunnel facility.
If it was in the tunnel facility, it was probably where she had recorded the coordinates earlier.
With the help of the searchlight, Chenchen's position finally began to change, but the speed was still very slow.
Yu Miaomiao began searching the world for other propulsion systems that could be connected to existing waterproof generators.
If the waterproof generator can be charged and used when the ship is in a hurry, and if there are other driving facilities, does it mean that the ship can keep going?
Using the collected kinetic energy to drive the boat is like the perpetual motion machine that people imagine. The idea is indeed a bit ridiculous, and there may even be a power shortage, but it can definitely save more electricity, so it is worth a try.
No such equipment was found in the beta test server.
But Yu Miaomiao found a similar device on the cross-server forum - a waterproof buoyancy dragger.
Moreover, the person who listed this item has even experimented with it and found that 10 tractors plus 10 small energy storage batteries can tow a basic wooden house boat forward.
