Chapter 377 Returning to the Coal Mine
Speaking of fuel, the industrial park is not in short supply. The iron and steel plant has coke for smelting, and other units have coal for heating, not to mention the wood that is everywhere in the mountains.

But coke is a necessity for steelmaking, and Shi Jian is only allowed to use it for steelmaking, and cannot be used for other purposes.A lot of coal was used in the firing of cement and bricks, plus the cooking needs of six or seven hundred people, and now there is not much left.

When the steam engine was first developed, Shi Jian used coal to provide energy. After the generator was refitted, the stored coal was about to bottom out.

Of course, the steam engine does not only use coal, and Shi Jian also uses wood instead, but the effect is not ideal.

Compared with coal, the combustion value of wood is too low, and it is not as resistant to burning as coal. Wood needs to be added in a short time to keep the water in the boiler boiling.

In this way, manpower is wasted invisibly, and someone must pay attention to it frequently, that is to say, a full-time boiler worker is required.

It would be fine if there was only one boiler worker. Because of the large consumption of wood, people had to be arranged to cut wood, which took up more manpower.

Shi Jian had to change this situation, and the only solution was to transport coal again.

The last time I went to the coal mine to transport coal was last year.That was the time when Shi Jian and the others discovered the group of zombies trapped in the mine, which became the restricted area.

Now in order to solve the fuel problem, Shi Jian had to turn his attention to the coal mine again.

However, at the elder meeting, Shi Jian's request was not approved. Everyone, including Feng Kuang, strongly opposed Shi Jian's going to the coal mine again.

Feng Kuang didn't show any sympathy, pointed at the tip of Shi Jian's nose, and reprimanded him: "Shi Jian, what do you think? Knowing that there are zombies there, you still want to go there, isn't it just for nothing? ?”

Shi Jian rubbed his nose and said with a chuckle, "Isn't that familiar? Besides, maybe the zombies have already left."

"Where are there so many? Maybe you should get rid of that idea as soon as possible! Let me tell you, the Chang'an tribe has finally looked good, so don't make any more trouble." Xia Qianhe also put on a straight face, rarely He criticized Shi Jian vigorously.

Afterwards, the others also complained endlessly, making Shi Jian regret asking them to discuss these matters, he might as well go quietly by himself.

However, these were just Shi Jian's complaints. If he really acted arbitrarily, he would not be able to pass his own test.

Finally, Shi Jian spread his hands and said helplessly: "Then what should you do? You can't spend all your manpower on chopping firewood, can you?"

"It's not impossible. We have a lot of people now, so what can we do if we arrange a team to chop firewood and burn the boiler?" Xia Qianhe patted the table heavily.

"That's right, there's no need to take that risk," Liu Yi added, "There's no manpower for men, we still have women, it's really impossible for us old guys to go! Isn't it just chopping firewood? It's not that there is no did."

Shi Jian found out. What these people meant was obvious. As long as he didn't take risks in that coal mine, he could talk about anything else.

"Ah! The key issue is not just manpower, there are more important things." Shi Jian had to prepare to express his thoughts to these people.

"What else?" Feng Kuang asked.

Shi Jian no longer concealed it, and said: "Actually, I have an idea, which is to install a power grid on the fence, which can strengthen the defense. If we are surrounded and the power grid suddenly loses power due to fuel problems, what should we do? ?”

Feng Kuang shook his head and said, "Are you sure that the zombie will be electrocuted?"

Shi Jian said: "It's just that I'm not sure, that's why I'm going to do an experiment, and I'm going to go to that coal mine to pull coal at the same time."

"The experiment doesn't have to go there to find zombies. I believe it's not difficult to find a zombie for the electrical experiment, right?" Feng Kuang said.

"Isn't there still coal here? It would be nice to have the two together, and I plan to seal the mine so that we have a safe coal supply point." Shi Jian explained.

Feng Kuang still disagreed, and said, "If you want to use coal, we have a map of the nearby mines, and you can go find another coal mine."

"The problem is that other coal mines are just as risky. No one knows what's going on there. At least we are familiar with this mine. Do you think so?" Shi Jian continued to persuade the opponents.

"No, it's too dangerous." Xia Qianhe was too lazy to say a word now.

"Great Elder, fellow elders, everyone actually understands that if we want to continue to develop, we must have coal mines. I'm not saying that I have to go to that coal mine. The problem is that there must be a more suitable coal mine for me to go to. "Shi Jian hugged Qu.

Feng Kuang poked his head over, discussed with Xia Qianhe in a low voice, and then said: "Well, let's check the resource distribution map first. If there is really no suitable one, then you can go there."

"That's fine, let's go check it out now." Shi Jian said impatiently.

Shi Jian and Feng Kuang spent the whole afternoon inquiring about mineral resource maps.Behind them, Xia Qianhe and others were still surrounded.

There are not many coal mines in the Baishan area, and there is even an open-pit coal mine.However, judging from the comparison of the map, there are many residential areas around these coal mines. There are really not many coal mines like the one Shi Jian is going to go to, and it is farther away from here.

It can be said that apart from the possibility of zombies in the mine, this is already the most suitable place.

Feng Kuang and Xia Qianhe had to accept this reality, and agreed to let Shi Jian go, but repeatedly asked to bring more people.

The fence under construction in the industrial park is nearing completion, the concrete columns have been poured, and only bricklaying is left.

Shi Jian called the more than 200 newcomers over and asked them to go with him, while the others continued to build the wall.

On the second day, all the vehicles of the Chang'an tribe, carrying Shi Jian and his small team, and more than 200 newcomers, drove towards the coal mine at high speed.

Regardless of whether there are zombies in the coal mine I went to this time, even if I travel in the last days, self-defense weapons are also essential.

Shi Jian adopted a plan of half hot and cold weapons. Most of the newcomers used steel crossbows, and the rest, like Shi Jian's team, used assault rifles.

There are also quite a few mortars installed on the carriage to prevent accidents.There are also a few explosive packs, which are intended to seal the entrance of the mine and completely isolate the zombies in the mine.

In addition, there is also a generator, Shi Jian wants to use it to verify whether the zombies may be killed by electric shock.

The car stopped at the mouth of the valley, and Shi Jian arranged for everyone to rest here, and go to the coal mine tomorrow morning, which would save a lot of time.

Returning to the coal mine again, Shi Jian asked the others to hurry up and load the car. He took Feng Chen and others to find out before the mine.

Before reaching the mine, Shi Jian heard the roar of the zombies. It seemed that the zombies were still here and had not returned to their original territory.

Shi Jian didn't bother to analyze why the zombies didn't come home anymore, he only cared about whether the zombies would be electrocuted to death.

When they came outside the mine, Shi Jian asked Andre and Wang Gang to put the generator in place, connect two wires to the output end, strip the other end of the wire to a long length, and stretch it towards the roaring zombie at the entrance of the cave.

The zombie at the front was very curious about the two sticks that were stretched out. He stretched out his hands and put them in front of the wires, then held them firmly in his hands and pulled them hard.

Seeing that the zombies were so well matched, Shi Jian was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Generate!"

The generator immediately made a loud noise and began to supply electricity.

The zombie was having a great time playing with a wire in each hand.When the generator rang, it froze for a moment, and then saw a series of blue lights emanating from its hands, and then saw the zombie fell straight on the ground, and the blue light was still appearing around it .

A zombie next to him saw his companion fell to the ground for no reason, and bent down to touch it in amazement, only to see a flash of blue light.

"Great! It works!" Shi Jian clapped his hands excitedly.

But it's still a little early to be happy now, after all, it's not known whether the zombie that fell on the ground is dead or alive, maybe it's just a simple faint.

Shi Jian asked Feng Chen to turn off the generator, and then carefully observed the zombie.At this time, what happened to the other zombies was no longer in Shi Jian's concern.

After about half an hour, the zombie still didn't show any signs of waking up, so Shi Jian asked Zhang Jian to grab the zombie's leg with a flying claw and pull it out forcefully.

The zombie is like a real corpse at this moment, without any reaction, allowing Zhang Jian to pull it out of the mine and expose it to the sun.

The sunlight hit the zombie's body directly, and the originally warm sunlight immediately turned into a sharp blade, cutting the zombie's body with bruises and bruises, and then turning it into a puddle of pus, but the zombie didn't respond at all.

Seeing with his own eyes that his companion suddenly turned into pus and blood, the rest of the zombies let out a collective roar, and then quickly retreated to the depths of the mine.

Shi Jian finally got the bottom line now, which shows that zombies can be electrocuted to death, at least 450 volts can kill zombies.

Looking at the zombies that escaped without a trace, Shi Jian chuckled and said, "Okay, since you have escaped, we won't chase you. We have to take this opportunity to blow up here."

Just do it, and when they installed the five explosive packs, it took less than an hour.Less than 10 minutes later, the running zombies turned back again, and stood at the entrance of the cave again to vent their anger.

Shi Jian glanced at the zombies and said softly, "Explode."
