The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1163 I have a plan

"Yeah, that thing is amazing! It even changes the laws of physics!"

Zhou Haotian excitedly chimed in: "Water vapor sinking is fine, but hot air should rise. But the hot air emanating from this spine can also sink with the water vapor. Because of this amazing phenomenon, we can really use it to change the climate of a large area!"

"Judging from what Xiao Zhou said, you guys have already obtained the data?"

Zhang Su looked at Fu Weijun and the others.

"We have lived up to Mr. Zhang's expectations and confirmed our previous predictions. However, to cover an area of ​​approximately four square kilometers, the required voltage will be higher than anticipated!"

Xie Yanshan answered Zhang Su's question.

"How much higher?"

"We cannot provide an accurate value at the moment; we will need to wait until the system is fully constructed before we can obtain an accurate answer."

Fu Weijun shrugged, explaining that theoretical calculations couldn't easily incorporate a loss factor.

"What else is there to say? Let's build it! Xiao Zhou, it's your turn to make your move. Have you figured out how to build the device to modify the environment?"

Collaboration among research, agriculture, and invention sectors is needed to ultimately drive this climate-changing agricultural revolution.

"Well, according to Dr. Fu, to cover an area of ​​two kilometers in radius, the steam spine needs to reach a height of at least three hundred meters. I observed the surrounding terrain and environment. The method is simple in theory, but it is somewhat complicated."

"Do you want to hear what you have to say?"

Zhang Su pretended to give Zhou Haotian a whack on the head. After listening intently for a long time, the only useful information was what Fu Weijun said.

"Hey, hey, Brother Su, you're really not kidding!"

Zhou Haotian dodged for a moment, then quickly explained, "The method is simple because all we need to do is bring back a high-voltage power tower and place it in the large open space next to Baiyun Yayuan. But the process of transporting the high-voltage power tower is a bit troublesome. You see, it's both simple and complicated. Did I say something wrong?"

Baiyun Yayuan is the highest guesthouse on Tianma Island. It is usually used as a storage room and is uninhabited. Due to its special location, the area it is blocked by Tianma Mountain is relatively small. If the steam spine were placed there, it could cover a wider area.

"Go to hell! You make it sound so easy. A high-voltage power tower... Do you know how heavy a high-voltage power tower is? With our current capabilities, moving a high-voltage power tower back is just wishful thinking! If the plan doesn't work, think of another one!"

Zhang Su rejected it outright.

"I know that a 55-meter-high high-voltage power tower weighs about 200 tons..."

"More than two hundred tons, you know how to say it, not more than two hundred kilograms. It would take countless trips to dismantle and transport it. Then welding is an extremely difficult task. If this whole shoddy project collapses, aren't you afraid of killing people?"

"What a terrible idea! We have to change it!"

Zhang Su shook his head repeatedly. The dismantling, transportation, and re-welding of the more than 200-ton high-voltage power tower was difficult, except for the transportation step, which was relatively easy.

Even under the current conditions, this would have been a huge project!

He believed there must be a better way.

"There really is an alternative plan."

A glint of inspiration flashed in Zhou Haotian's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Actually, it's easy to find a place to put the steam spine on the mountain, but that would only take care of one side of the environment, and the area covered would be reduced by nearly half."

Although the plan has some flaws, it is quite simple to implement. The only slightly troublesome part is the wiring, but that is not difficult for Tianma Island, which has ample materials.

It can even be achieved today, the only drawback being the reduced coverage area.

Zhang Su stared intently at the steam spine, then looked at the crowd: "Don't just let Xiao Zhou rack his brains, do you guys have any ideas?"

He was dissatisfied with both proposals, finding them somewhat lacking.

"Um...can I offer my opinion?"

As soon as Zhang Su finished speaking, someone spoke up. Chang Qingsheng raised his hand from the side; he had already taken off his coat and cashmere sweater, draped them over his arm, and was wearing a slightly wrinkled plaid shirt. Zhang Su pushed up his sunglasses, remembering Chang Qingsheng's earlier mention of the "electric vest," and nodded, saying, "Of course!"

Chang Qingsheng took a few steps toward the steam spine and pointed, saying, "Why don't we directly intervene and guide the warm, humid airflow it releases, for example, by using pipelines or pressurized transportation to deliver it to where it's needed, like..."

"Heating! Heating on!"

Zhou Haotian's eyes widened, and he interrupted in a broken voice, slapping his thigh repeatedly: "Oh dear, how could I not have thought of that? It's all because I was limited by my preconceived notions before. I only thought of using airflow to sink, and forgot that we can guide it directly. Great idea, really great idea!"

"Xiao Zhou, you're being rude. Let Lao Chang finish what he has to say!"

Zhang Su waved his hand, signaling Chang Qingsheng to continue.

"From what the two researchers said, increasing the voltage is needed to improve the release of warm and humid airflow from the steam spine. However, if an efficient guiding and delivery method is adopted, the voltage requirement should be reduced to some extent."

That's all I wanted to say. I'm sure this young man has a sudden realization and already has a good plan, right?

Chang Qingsheng didn't mind Zhou Haotian interrupting him at all. Instead, he simply gave back the credit, as he didn't intend to use it to claim credit.

Fu Weijun and Xie Yanshan's eyes flashed after hearing Chang Qingsheng's words. Improving utilization could indeed reduce voltage requirements. If the voltage remained the same, then a larger area could be covered!
"Yes, I've got it!"

Zhou Haotian nodded hurriedly, ran up to Chang Qingsheng and shook hands, saying, "Brother, you're really smart. Our Invention and Creation Department needs someone like you. Brother Su, could you arrange for this brother to join my department?"

"Ah……"

Zhang Su smiled speechlessly. The dignified Minister of the Genesis Warhawk Department, who ranks among the top five in combat power on Tianma Island, is being assigned to the Invention and Creation Department. Isn't there a more wasteful way to use his talents?

However, upon further reflection, he realized that this might not be a bad idea. There wasn't really a suitable position for Chang Qingsheng to showcase his talents, so why not let him use his brain first?
"You'll have to ask him. If he's willing, I have no objection."

"Brother Chang, what do you think? Our Invention and Creation Department is really interesting; we research all sorts of strange and unusual things. Come on over!"

Zhou Haotian immediately extended an olive branch to Chang Qingsheng.

"Brother Su, can I really go to the Invention and Creation Department? I mean, am I suitable?"

Chang Qingsheng rubbed his forehead and looked at Zhang Su with a strange look in his eyes. The seemingly absurd decision didn't seem so bad.

All he wants now is to stay safe until he can see his wife again. As for his time on Tianma Island, the more peaceful the better. The Department of Invention and Creation sounds very safe!

Zhang Su nodded and said, "You are knowledgeable and know a lot. You're also good at assisting the brothers in the Invention and Creation Department. Xiao Zhou, Lao Chang once offered a brilliant idea: to make a remote-controlled discharge device that could be attached to a zombie and controlled remotely!"

"Yes, it has an integrated controller, which allows one person to control an entire zombie army."

Chang Qingsheng added something.

"My god, big brother, you are a genius teenager, no, a genius middle-aged man! Brother Su, you must get Brother Chang to come to the Invention and Creation Department! Brother Chang, I know you are highly skilled, but... I'm sorry."

Zhou Haotian spoke excitedly, spitting out saliva. He wiped it off and continued, "But think about it, your combat strength ranks at most fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth in our camp, but your ingenious ideas are firmly in second place. We need to shine in our areas of expertise, don't you think?"

"Hey, hey, Haotian, let's not talk about second place yet, who's first?"

Liu Tianji stripped down to just a short-sleeved shirt and asked Zhou Haotian with a strange expression.

"Hey, I'm not very talented, it's me!" Zhou Haotian didn't know how to be modest at all, and proudly patted his chest.

"What nonsense! If you want to be number one, why didn't you come up with that plan? Brother Su already said it was a terrible idea!"

"One mistake doesn't mean every mistake will happen. I even thought of using emotional zombies!"

Zhou Haotian was unconvinced and argued his case based on reason.
