Doomsday rat

Chapter 11 Energy Around You

So is there a way for Hong Tao to restore power to the grid?Two words, delusion!
He is not an Iron Man, and he can supply most of the city's electricity with an energy core on his body.In the current situation, if you want to solve the power supply, firepower, wind power, nuclear power, including traditional power grids, must not be counted on, and you have to find another way.

Like solar panels!This thing is not new, Hong Tao has also used it.Many years ago, when he did not buy a fuel-fired generator, he went fishing in the wild. In order to charge his mobile phone and watch the World Cup on a portable TV, he bought a solar panel and matching batteries and inverters.

Convenience is definitely convenient. When folded, it is similar to a notebook computer, and the weight is not large. If you don't count the battery, it will only weigh a few pounds.There is no need for old maintenance or any assistance, and it can work as long as there is light.Get a few more pieces and put them on the roof, although it won't provide enough power, it's better than nothing.

However, its power generation is proportional to the area. When there is no condition and technology to lay large-area solar panels, ordinary models cannot drive high-power electrical appliances. At present, it can only be regarded as a useful aid.

As I mentioned earlier, this kind of equipment is completely different from solar panels. Even small household models can provide several kilowatts of electricity, both AC and DC, which can completely replace the mains power for daily use by a family.

However, it also has the disadvantage that it has to be replaced with oil, either gasoline or diesel.Like the [-]-kilowatt gasoline generator in Hong Tao's home, it burns about half a liter of gasoline and a little oil every hour under full load.

So in addition to solar panels and oil-fired generators, is there a more convenient and efficient power supply solution?Hong Tao said, there must be!And there are so many, it's just on the street and in the underground garage, so you can get it at your fingertips!

Every car, whether it is a passenger car or a truck, will be equipped with at least one battery, the scientific name is lead-acid battery, and there may be lithium batteries.This thing sits right next to the engine, and there are as many pieces as there are cars.

So how should it be used?At this time, some basic electrical knowledge is needed, and the junior high school level is enough.Simply put, by connecting multiple batteries in series, the voltage will be doubled, such as 24 volts, 36 volts, 48 ​​volts, 72 volts, and so on.

However, it should be noted that at this time it is direct current, and many domestic appliances cannot be used directly.What to do, it's easy to do.The conversion of alternating current into direct current is called rectification. We have many at home. For example, a mobile phone charger is a rectifier transformer.Then from DC to AC is the reverse, so there is something called an inverter.

This thing is installed in the car, usually a long aluminum alloy box, some in the trunk, some under the seat.It can convert the direct current in the car battery into alternating current and provide it to the passengers.

But the power of these inverters is too small, usually only more than 100 watts, which is not very useful.If you want to restore normal AC power, you must have a high-power inverter, such as tens of millions to tens of thousands of watts.

Hong Tao is not short of this thing, not only at home but also several.Some bought, some modified.There is only one use. If there are not many days when traveling by car, just to solve one or two meals simply, bring an extra battery and connect it to the inverter. The rice cooker and the induction cooker can be used, which is convenient and fast.

In the period before dinner, Hong Tao became a car vandal.He was wearing ice hockey gear, dressed like a Robocop, carrying a mountaineering pick, pulling a small flatbed trailer, and smashed all the windows of the main driver of the vehicle parked near the door.

I reached in and opened the cover of the machine, unloaded the batteries one by one, piled up the trailers and transported them back to the courtyard. It took four trips to clean up more than 20 vehicles.

There was a small danger in the middle, and a monster actually got out of the public toilet.At this time, Hong Tao realized that he was fighting the monster head on. If he wanted to kill the enemy without damage, the mountaineering pick was a little short, and he couldn't accurately hit the head of the zombie without being caught by the opponent's hand.

At this time, there is no need to rush to kill, Hong Tao had to circle around the car, trying to find a way while running.Using the battery as a stumbling block...it's useless, the balance ability of the zombies is not so bad, even if it is staggered, it can quickly stabilize the body with its strong arm strength, and it is difficult to take the opportunity to sneak attack.

"Squeak... squeak..." The car door was a bit useful, Hong Tao opened the door, and the zombies seemed to prefer to walk in a straight line. Every time they hit the door first, they didn't know how to go around until they found it difficult to get through.

"Pfft..." With the door blocking Hong Tao's courage, he got close to the zombie's arm and was a pickaxe.The alloy pointed mouth penetrated into the forearm muscle smoothly, but the zombie broke free with just a wave of his hand. There was no pain, no bleeding, and no feeling.

Can only continue to circle, simply open the remaining three doors.The zombies suddenly stopped chasing in circles, and instinctively chose a straight distance to get over from the carriage.

"Pfft..." Hong Tao was so happy this time, he literally sucked to death, standing by the door waiting, as soon as he appeared, the world immediately became clean.

"Sin, oh, sin, brother and sister, I didn't kill them all! Our family's holiday is over today. I have to go to your house to take a look at these two days and kill the three dogs. Let the two of you come to the same year, the same month and the same day. Die, let's be cremated together!"

After killing the family, Hong Tao began to rant again.He also knew this daughter-in-law of three dogs in the backyard.I don't know why she came out to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, but she mutated directly in the public toilet.

I don't know what sins they did in the previous life. When the two of them were alive, they were always punished by themselves, and they became monsters and were beaten by themselves.In the words of the old man, this is the enemy destined by God!

When I came out in the early autumn to lure the zombies, I thought of everything, but I didn't expect that there were monsters hidden in the public toilet.In order to prevent another raid, Hong Tao simply checked the two public toilets, not even the women's toilet, and checked them one by one.Fortunately, there are very few people who go to the toilet without sleeping in the middle of the night, only one daughter-in-law Sangou.

"Brother Hong, don't be too busy, let's eat!" In the evening, Chu Qiu didn't wait for Hong Tao's orders, and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to warm up the leftovers and leftovers at noon, and then put a bowl of beef stewed in the afternoon, watching the landlord come and go. How can this scene be a bit like a rural woman preparing a meal and waiting for her husband who goes to work in the field to come home.

"Okay, there's one last piece! I'll make something fun after dinner. You promise to like it very much. Do you want to make a bet?"

Hong Tao put down the battery in his hand, stood up and beat his back.These batteries range from 45 Ah to 80 Ah, and on average, they cost about 20 catties a piece, and they have been transported more than [-] yuan, which is less than half a ton.

"Brother Hong, don't you worry at all?" Chu Qiu wanted to chat with the landlord during dinner, and asked him what he was thinking and why he was joking like no one else.

"Worry? If worry was useful, I'd have wrecked the earth long ago, and it's your turn to be sentimental. You're very unsure, aren't you? Are you very confused about the future? Don't know where the road is? Come, pour me some broth and eat After dinner, let’s talk slowly until we’ve talked thoroughly. It’s been a long night, and I can’t even talk about it… Uh, the taste of the dishes is a bit bland, so I’ll add more salt in the future.”

Looking at the woman who was still gloomy, Hong Tao was quite happy.No way, as long as he sees other people worrying, he can't help but feel happy, and he has never corrected this problem in his life.

However, when I talk about the topic, I get a little off track. What is a long night, how can I listen to it with a hint of taste.In fact, I really didn't think so, or there was too much work to do, and I didn't have time to think about it.

"...I don't dare to sleep in the same room alone at night..." Chu Qiu didn't avoid this topic. He put the broth into the landlord's bowl with a spoon, bit his lip and took a few deep breaths. Said what he had held for the afternoon.

"I'm going to tell you about this after dinner. You can't hang it all the time in early summer, or you can just stuff it into the room of the two of you. There is no window in the storage room, and the door is also solid wood. I think it can carry it if I reinforce it." A few days. Get her out when there is a better place to go, so you can only go to sleep in my room. But you will be handcuffed for a few days, so I won’t repeat the reason. Now it’s like this The situation, if you also get sick, then I can only kill you two sisters, and then pour oil on it. I can guarantee that you two will be burned separately. After the burning, I will be responsible for burying it. A tombstone. If I got sick, I wouldn’t be able to open the bedroom door for a while. If you heard something unusual, you would jump out of the window and run into the yard. I would open the well cover before going to bed. People who get sick like to walk in a straight line. You don’t need to teach me how to make me fall into the well? This well is less than two meters deep, and there is still half the water in the well. I guess I won’t be able to climb up. Then you go to the bedside cabinet in the bedroom to find the handcuff key and take my mountaineering key. Put on the pickaxe, put on the protective gear, go to the well and aim at my head. You don’t need to work hard, and don’t lose your balance. The climbing pick is so hard that it can cut a hole in my skull with one arm. I'm dead, and you can lure Chu Xia into the well to do the same thing. Don't despair if you're left alone, you've seen how I kill monsters, there's nothing too high-tech, just practice a few times. When our family has almost enough food and water, go door to door in the nearby yard to lure monsters out and kill them, and then go to their house to find food and gas tanks. I guess this piece of our house is enough for you for several years... …If you still haven’t seen other people for such a long time, and there is no rescue, just die. A person living alone is not called surviving, but squat confinement, which is the cruelest punishment. There is a small box locked in the bottom drawer of the bedside table in my bedroom , there are two small bottles in it. It is high-purity nicotine, a bit bitter, you don’t need too much, just take a sip, and your heart will explode in less than 2 minutes. It shouldn’t be very painful. If we both get through tonight, we will I'll teach you a trade every day. Then you'll find it's easier to support yourself than to go to work."

The rice is soaked in broth, which makes swallowing much smoother, and it also doubles Hong Tao's eating speed again. He puts down the bowl after three or four mouthfuls, wipes his mouth, lights his cigarette, and starts to arrange work, or funeral.Not only his own, but also Chuqiu's, each step is very detailed, as if he has practiced many times.
