Looking at his son's growing prestige, An Yanfu felt very pleased.
At the same time, I felt ashamed that I cared too little about my son.
Otherwise, how could he not have noticed that his son had such strong hands-on skills?
If he had discovered his son's talent earlier, he might have trained him to become a scientist.
"Hello, old factory director."
The patrol officers passing by greeted An Yanfu and went to patrol other places. An Yanfu nodded to them.
Ever since An Jingzhi said he wanted to capture zombies to use as a replacement for the power plant, everyone started making various preparations.
Even the vacant land around the food factory was reclaimed by everyone who could dig it.
"This thing is great! Then we won't even have to worry about the generator. It won't eat or drink, so we can just let it generate electricity for us!"
Hearing the sound coming from afar, An Yanfu walked closer curiously.
"What are you doing?"
Turning around, he saw his son writing and drawing in a notebook, and Yan Ruqiang was squatting on the ground, working according to his instructions.
Guan Congsheng smiled and said to An Yanfu, "Didn't we originally plan to let those zombies go into the factory to drive the machines?"
"Later, Jingzhi came up with a better idea. We could just connect our generator to the modified assembly line. The zombies moving around on it would directly drive the generator."
"This way, other places can also use electricity, and we don't have to work in the dark at night."
Half a month ago, the power to the food factory was completely cut off. Before, there was some intermittent power, but now it is completely gone.
They all rely on the food factory's backup generator to survive, but the generator is too old and needs to be operated by people, and the noise is too loud and will attract the attention of zombies.
Generally speaking, if you can avoid it, no one will use it.
"After Jingzhi made this change, the noise of the generator will be greatly reduced, and we won't have to come over to operate it." Liao Wannian said admiringly.
Nowadays, everyone can accept whether to use electricity or not, but when winter comes and it gets dark quickly and the weather gets cold, I’m afraid no one can bear it.
"Okay, put it back together."
As soon as An Jingzhi finished speaking, Yan Ruqiang meticulously followed his instructions and reinstalled the parts that had just been removed.
Then several people carried the engine to the production workshop and connected the modified interface.
"Is this all right?" Guan Congsheng and the others followed and asked after seeing the things were packed.
"You go up and try it." An Jingzhi said to Yan Ruqiang.
Yan Ruqiang jumped directly onto the place where the power was generated, and as he walked, the steps slowly started to move.
I watched as the light bulb connected to the generator lit up after a while.
Everyone said happily, "It's bright, it's really bright!"
"Great! We can finally use electricity as we please!"
"The electric fence installed at the door is finally not just for show."
"There's no noise at all, so we can use the generator without attracting the attention of the zombies around us."
"Little Boss, you are so awesome!"
Seeing that the experiment was almost finished, An Jingzhi asked Yan Ruqiang to come down.
Yan Ruqiang looked at the generator's steps with some lingering feeling.
"Okay, the cage is almost done, and the other preparations are ready. Next, let's prepare to catch the zombies."
Looking at everyone's admiring eyes, An Jingzhi gave the order.
"good!"
The man who was digging traps outside came back with his tools and saw that everyone in the food factory base was talking about something excitedly, so he couldn't help but go forward to ask.
"What are you doing? What's going on? Why are you smiling so happily?"
"Great news! The engine modification was successful. As long as we capture the zombies, we won't have to worry about electricity anymore!"
"Really? It's ready already?"
"How could I possibly deceive you? Just go to the workshop and you'll know."
After hearing these words, the people who went out all ran to the production workshop to observe the newly modified generator.
…
With the materials collected by Yan Ruqiang, Song Jianliang and others, people no longer lack weapons.
In order to avoid causing too much commotion, everyone used blood in batches to attract the zombies into the trap they had dug earlier.
Then he used the electric baton made by An Jingzhi to shock the zombies, causing them to lose their mobility temporarily.
During this time, they began to catch the zombies one by one, cut off their claws, put muzzles on them, carefully put them into cages, and transported them back to the base.
Everyone was happy as they looked at the piece of meat hanging at the front of the steps and the zombies always moving towards the piece of meat.
“It’s done, it’s done!”
"It has no beak or claws, and we've reinforced the cage. As long as it's not vandalized, there's no danger."
"The only key is with the young boss. Even if someone maliciously destroys the cage, it will definitely make noise, and we can report it in time."
"The electricity problem has been solved. I can finally take a hot shower at night."
"What are you thinking about? You're not even going to take a hot bath. The water in the reservoir is almost running out. If it doesn't rain, what are we going to drink?"
"Yes, that's a problem."
"The electricity problem has been solved, and we've opened up a lot of land within the factory. We can plant the grain seeds we've collected there, and we can be self-sufficient. But what about the water problem? Can we just wait for rain?"
"We all use tap water. This reservoir was built a few years ago. The tap water has been polluted beyond recognition and cannot be drunk. It can be used for watering the fields, but if you drink it, you won't live long."
Everyone was originally worried about the water problem, but unexpectedly it was solved by An Jingzhi so quickly.
He called Tan Xuan to his office and just sat on the chair staring at him.
Tan Xuan's scalp tingled under his gaze. He lowered his head, afraid that he would notice the emotion in his eyes. "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"You have supernatural powers, right? Water-related supernatural powers?"
Tan Xuan suddenly raised his head from pounding it, then pretended to look at the other person calmly, "What water-based ability?"
"I saw it all."
This guy has a good heart. He secretly fills the reservoir with water. This is why they have been so active recently and the water consumption is obviously very large, but the water level in the reservoir has not dropped much.
Seeing that he couldn't pretend any longer, Tan Xuan simply said, "So what if it is so?"
He suspected in his heart that he might have misunderstood the other person in his previous life, but it still felt a little awkward.
"As you know, tap water is polluted. We rely on reservoirs for water. Since you have water-related abilities, there's no need to hide them. We'll rely on you for water from now on."
"Me?" Tan Xuan pointed at himself in disbelief.
He was a Level 2 water-type psychic, yet he was reduced to being a faucet?!
