Chapter 1531: Chapter 1531-Rolling Thunder
As the saying goes, leave a line in life, and it will be easier to meet in the future. Zhang Zian was well aware that he and Peter Lee used to dislike each other. Peter Lee didn’t know that it was his elf who was blocking his way in the Golden Pyramid. But if he really attracted lightning to destroy the grid this time, he and Peter Lee would probably be like fire and water in the future.
But there was no other way. He knew that Peter Lee was doing evil, but he couldn’t pretend not to know. Besides, Peter Lee had already ordered the security guards to search for him. After they caught him, he wouldn’t be able to do well, so it was better to take the initiative to tear off all pretenses.
The drone had four symmetrical propellers, which were distributed on the left, left, right, and right sides. There was a diamond-shaped empty area in the middle. When the propellers started spinning, the middle area would not be affected by the propellers.
Zhang Zian cut off a small section of the insulating rubber on both ends of the wire and wrapped one end of the wire, which was still covered with insulating rubber, around the body of the drone to fix it in place. He only exposed this small section of the copper core through the four propellers, which were less than one meter above the propellers. The more the copper core was exposed, the safer it would be for the drone itself. However, there was no other way. The wire was too thin and could not support its own weight. This was already the limit. Any longer and the wind would blow it off, get into the propellers, and cause a crash.
The other end was left on the ground, and after the drone took off, it would place the ground end on the power grid. The sky end did not touch anything, so even if the ground end was placed on the power grid, there would be no current.
Usually, when the drone took off, its fixed partner was the cloud platform camera, but this time, it was not taking off for reconnaissance. Its weight-bearing capacity was limited, and it would probably be very difficult to take off while dragging the wire. It had to reduce its weight as much as possible, so it could not take the cloud platform. This time, after it took off, Zhang Zian could only rely on blind practice on the ground. Fortunately, he had night vision, otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to see a ghost in the air.
He had left his other luggage in the hiding place during the day, but he had brought the drone box with him because he had the idea when he saw the weather forecast during the day. At that time, he had planned to use wet cloth or thin rattan as wires. Now that he had wires, the conductivity was better, but it was also heavier.
The elves couldn’t help, so they could only watch him busy and look up at the sky from time to time. Even the blind Richard pretended to look up at the sky and mumbled,””Are you going to go down or not? that’s the question.”
This time, it was the real “Man proposes, G.o.d disposes.” No matter how wondrous one’s imagination was, or how outrageous one’s scheme was, if G.o.d did not give them face, it would all be in vain.
Although Yanyi could not be taken seriously, someone as strong as Zhuge Kongming would have probably died long ago if the heavens did not send him that east wind …
Zhang Zian’s hands were busy, and his heart was uneasy.
The sky in the forest turned dark very early. In addition, it was a cloudy day to begin with. Although they had been busy for a long time, it was actually only about Teno’ clock in the evening.
Generally speaking, the rain would fall after midnight. If it didn’t rain before dawn, he would have to pack up and leave. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to escape when the sun rose.
The security guards were still searching further away. They did not have to worry about them returning for the time being. Even if they did return, they would return to the slaughterhouse from the gate to sleep.
After a while, everything that needed to be done was done. He silently thought about what else he had not considered.
Thunderstorms were often accompanied by strong winds. Drones were much stronger than kites. They had gyroscopes in them. During flight, they could detect tilting in the plane’s horizontal direction and automatically adjust the position of the drone to resist a certain degree of strong wind. However, it was not possible to do so if the wind was too strong.
The drone had accompanied him in and out of Egypt. Without it, he and his team would have long died in the desert and become mummies, so he had some feelings for it, but he was also mentally prepared for it to fold its wings tonight.
Lightning was not just a strong current and voltage, it also had a strong physical impact, probably formed by the rapid evaporation of water vapor by lightning. The drone, which was already flying at full load, could not withstand such an impact.
Time pa.s.sed by. Just as he and the elves were about to fall asleep and start yawning, a faint m.u.f.fled Thunder suddenly came from the Northwest sky.
It’s here!
He and the Elfins immediately perked up and waited for the second thunder.
A dozen seconds later, the second clap of thunder sounded.
He and the elves looked at each other. Judging from their hearing, the second thunder seemed to be closer than the first, which meant that the thundercloud was coming.
He touched the silver-white metal sh.e.l.l of the drone one last time with reluctance and gave it a take-off command through the remote control.
This might be its last flight.
The drone took off slowly, and because it was dragging a long wire, its balance was affected to a certain extent. It was not as light as it usually was, and it swayed like a person who had spilled something.
Just as Zhang Zian was worried that it would hit a branch, its built-in program seemed to have adapted. It flew out of the forest clumsily but firmly, and then climbed.
The thunders were more concentrated and closer, and the entire sky in the Northwest was illuminated by the flashes of lightning.
“You guys go up the tree, all of you go up the tree, it’s safer on the tree.” He said to the elves.
He didn’t know what the consequences of this lightning-attracting experiment would be. If the lightning-attracting experiment failed, such as the wire being blown away by a strong wind and the lightning was not directed to the grid but to the ground, it would form a concentric circular stride voltage with the ground as the center. At this time, if his feet were in front and behind, the current would pa.s.s through the body.
When the lightning struck the ground, the current would be transmitted to the ground. The animals on the trees would not be affected, so it was very safe to climb the trees.
“What about you?” Famous asked.
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll stand on the waterproof mat later. ” He said.
The elves followed his instructions and climbed up the tree. Even famous jumped onto the tree branch. It opened its eyes uneasily, waiting for the shocking scene that was about to happen.
The drone flew higher and higher. Zhang Zian held the remote control in one hand and the wire in the other to prevent the exposed copper core from touching the ground. Otherwise, if a lightning suddenly came from above and was led to the ground under his feet, he would be dead.
When all the wires left on the ground were pulled into the air, he let go and ordered the drone to stop.
He adjusted the drone’s flight alt.i.tude slightly and watched the exposed copper core sway about two meters above the ground. Then, he made the drone slowly move in the direction of the slaughterhouse until the copper core gently touched the power grid. The bottom of the copper core was bent into a fish hook, which hooked onto a horizontal bar of the power grid.
An irrepressible sense of achievement welled up in his heart, but it was a pity that no one around him cheered.
