Chapter 196 Fan Test
The small courtyard is very quiet, except for the occasional rustling of paper when turning pages.
The warm sunshine shone on Xiao Jian from the window and also illuminated the scroll in front of him.
Although he didn't know the characters of the Dragon Skull Clan, Xiao Jian could still understand the meaning.
This is similar to how he can understand other types of languages. No matter whether the other person is speaking Chinese or not, or even whether he is from Earth... he can understand it without any obstacles.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Jian, who is looking for clues in these documents, cannot do it by pretending to be someone else.
After all, he is the only "universal translator".
But fortunately, Xiao Jian does not need to care about the religion, government, nation, economy of the Longshou clan... He only needs to care about any words related to "gods".
While he was "working on the paperwork", Shao Youxian, who temporarily lived on the second floor, was studying the giant swords Xiao Jian brought back.
To be precise, they are the runes on these giant swords.
After hearing Xiao Jian's comments about the efficacy of these giant swords, Shao Youxian became very interested in this weapon. He even put aside his ongoing theoretical research and began to target these giant swords.
In the small courtyard, only the room in the middle of the second floor can occasionally hear sounds such as "ding ding car" and "makabaka".
…
Fortress town, edge of fog.
The fog that used to be "refreshed" by zombies after a while has become increasingly safe recently, with not even a single zombie being seen for several days.
In the past, when encountering zombies, they would immediately alert themselves and report back. Now, many soldiers' patrol routes have gradually begun to penetrate deeper into the fog...
It's not all about patrolling, it's more about "hunting".
Yes, hunting.
The few zombies that occasionally "spawned" out of the fog were not enough to snatch. In order to obtain prey, the patrol route naturally moved closer and closer to the depths of the fog.
If things continue to develop like this, it is not impossible that professional "hunters" will become a fixed profession in the fortress town.
Like the "Salvagers" of "Gospel World."
Now that the genius has just dawned, many people have gathered at the edge of the fog.
Among these people were ordinary soldiers, staff representatives, a large number of researchers, and several important figures such as Zhang Weidong and Zhang Jinyu.
In addition to these people who were originally from the fortress town, there were also Wang Youfu from the ranch town and Zhang Zhi, the guard representative from the ranch town.
However, these people are not the protagonists... Today's protagonists are a group of researchers surrounded by everyone in the center.
I saw that they were assembling something like an electric fan.
This "electric fan" is less than two meters high, has three blades, and the diameter of the blades is about one meter.
Under the "electric fan", there are several "wires" braided with several "hairs" connected to the "battery" on the base.
As the researchers operate, the blades of the "electric fan" slowly rotate...
No matter from the appearance or function point of view, this is just an ordinary electric fan.
But if it was just such a simple "electric fan", it would obviously not be able to attract so many important figures to come here to watch the ceremony.
"Wow……"
Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd of onlookers.
I saw that the fog that seemed to be eternal and could never make any waves was blown away!
Although it was only blown away a little bit, the edge of the fog was blown away from an almost straight arc shape into an open space similar to the shape of a "convex"...
It was such a small change that made the onlookers start talking.
They did not deliberately lower their voices, so some voices that are more distinctive, or simply speak louder, are easier to be separated from the "buzzing" background sound.
"Look! The mist is moving!"
"It actually receded... I asked, if we continue to blow like this, can we blow away all the fog in the world?"
"If they all blow away, we will become a floating island..."
"nonsense!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Many of the 'worlds' that once existed outside the mist have been digested by the mist... That's what God said! He has been there! So it must be right!"
"Did God really say that?"
"Of course, I have a friend in the institute..."
Xiao Jian did talk about this topic with Shao Youxian and others, but it was just casual chat.
After all, it’s not too late to study things like the nature of the fog in the future, when safety is guaranteed and you don’t have to worry about food and drink...
Now, the purpose of the institute is to keep more people alive.
Just like the mechanical version of the "small windmill" in front of me.
"It worked." Zhang Jinyu looked at the front of the electric fan, constantly regaining his vision from the fog, "According to my king, as long as the fog continues to be blown away like this, other settlements will come closer..."
"...It's really a magical technology." Zhang Weidong sighed, "I never thought about it before."
"I heard that those 'Dragon Skull Men' used this technology to plunder other worlds... Is that true?" Wang Youfu asked cautiously.
"Indeed, this is the opponent's war technology." Zhang Weidong nodded.
"Oh..." Wang Youfu smiled, but something flashed in his eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Seeing this, Zhang Weidong and Zhang Jinyu looked at each other, with a hint of understanding on their faces.
Obviously, even Wang Youfu, who has always cooperated very well with Fortress Town, will have a little hesitation when facing the impending "world merger" trend.
After all, with Wang Youfu's power in Farm Town, he was basically the local emperor - neither the original local residents nor the later survivors could stand up to Wang Youfu's family and his employees.
After all, this is an advantage accumulated since before the end.
In the past, Ranch Town and Fortress Town only needed to maintain a good enough relationship. After all, all settlements relied heavily on Fortress Town for security.
But the problem is, if it really merges, wouldn't it mean that he would not be able to become the emperor of the country?
At the feet of the emperor, the third-rank official is also a sesame official. But where the emperor is far away, the seventh-grade county magistrate can ride on everyone's head and dominate.
There is a saying that "I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail", which means exactly this.
So no matter how good the relationship is, there will always be some reluctance when things come to pass.
"Huhu..."
The electric fan is blowing hard. When fully charged, the battery has 600 sunshine points, which is enough for the electric fan to blow for several days.
Therefore, after confirming that the first electric fan was effective, the researchers quickly assembled the second and third ones...
The wind blown by the fan blades is not strong, at least not as strong as the wind caused by the giant blades in "Windmill World".
However, even so, the effect of the "breeze" caused by the electric fan is almost the same as that of the huge windmill!
When the twentieth electric fan was erected, the scene began to become extremely spectacular...
The wind, carrying the mist like residual clouds, keeps retreating and retreating...
It was originally just a small bump deep into the fog, but now it is getting wider and farther...
Slowly blowing out the size of half the fortress in the mist! !
You must know that although the area occupied by Fortress Town is only a drop in the bucket of this vast fragment of the world... But Fortress Town has also been expanded! Almost a dozen football fields can be crammed into half of the fortress town!
At first, Misty retreated gently and showed no resistance.
And when the strong winds now encroached more and more into the living space of the mist, the depths of the mist began to surge violently.
Especially the junction of fog and wind is like the boundary layer between milk and water. They are initially distinct and then gradually merge into one.
The thick mist was soon carried by the strong wind into different shades. Sometimes there were traces of mist rolled back, and sometimes there were a few long and narrow things that looked like transparent thin lines.
Seeing this, Zhang Weidong quickly shouted: "Everyone should leave the area of contact with the fog immediately!! That is a space rift! If you get involved, you will be hopeless!!"
Xiao Jian also discussed the details of the windmill causing spatial rifts with Shao Youxian, so of course Shao Youxian also saved it in the USB flash drive.
But even though he had experienced it personally, Xiao Jian never expected that the spatial rift in Fortress Town would appear so violently! !
As the "breeze" continues to pour into the mist, a large number of space cracks grow wantonly like mycelium...
It even extends very far, like seaweed that has been washed away by the current and spreads its claws in all directions...
The one that extends the farthest is almost touching those electric fans!
"Click..."
"boom……"
In the deep pit blown by the fan, the fog even filled with lightning and thunder!
Dazzling lightning is constantly tearing apart the air, and space cracks as transparent as thin lines are also constantly cutting the air, smashing anything they touch into powder.
"Back up...back up some more! Don't get so close!!"
Zhang Weidong loudly called on the onlookers to move back, and personally carried a few researchers who wanted to adjust the fan parameters and threw them far away where the abnormality could not reach them.
"Kacha...boom..."
The reaction of the rolling fog became more and more violent, like two strong convection currents colliding together, and dazzling electric sparks suddenly appeared.
"Is this... is this all what you expected?" Zhang Weidong looked at the junction that seemed to be brewing destruction, and was a little worried about whether it would cause a catastrophe.
"Absolutely, but I didn't expect its reaction to be so violent."
The researcher who was dragged by Zhang Weidong looked extremely excited:
"According to the information Shaotou gave us, Mist's reaction shouldn't have been so severe... It's also possible that the dose we gave was too high, so the reaction was a little different."
"There must be reasons behind this phenomenon that we don't know. We should observe more..."
"Okay! I didn't ask you this!" Zhang Weidong frowned, "In other words, if you turn off a few fans, the reaction of the fog will be reduced?"
"Theoretically, this should be true..." the researcher blurted out without thinking, "But I think we should even increase the intensity to see if the fog has any unexpected reactions. "
"..."
