Yunding Ranch

Chapter 279 Manual Power Generation
While talking, the two of them came to the cabin behind the main house and stopped at the door. Daniel took a flashlight and found the doorknob. He turned his head and said mysteriously, "Are you ready? Pandora The magic box is about to open."

Seeing Daniel who suddenly turned into an urchin, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "So, will there be monsters coming out of it? Like 'Monsters Inc.'?"

Daniel showed a look of surprise, couldn't help laughing, stomped his feet vigorously, imitated Sullivan in the cartoon, and growled a few words in coordination, this childish appearance was far from the professional and rational image in the afternoon Far.

Daniel turned around, pushed open the door, and took a picture of the room with a flashlight, "I found it." The beam of the flashlight pointed to the corner of the front left, where an object the size of a box was covered by an army green canvas, "Where, that That is our hope."

Daniel walked thousands of times, opened the canvas, and then a small generator appeared in front of him.

Lu Li's eyes couldn't help showing curiosity. He had never seen a generator so close before.In fact, it is said to be a generator, but it looks more like a large engine. The mechanical texture is really special.

"Is this a manual generator?" Lu Li asked curiously.

"Yes. Because there are often temporary power outages in the racecourse, we prepared our own generators to deal with emergencies." Daniel bit the flashlight with his mouth, then pulled the engine's pull rope, and used the most primitive method. , Once again, it was pulled, the engine started to run quickly, the roar broke the silence, and the whole room became extremely noisy in an instant.

But Daniel pulled it hard several times, but the generator still didn't seem to respond. He had to pause for a moment and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Can I have a try?" Lu Li asked proactively.

Daniel nodded again and again, "Of course." He let go of the handle, stepped aside, and said half-jokingly, "Originally, this matter should not be done by the guests, but I am getting older, and now my strength has deteriorated. Obviously , I need some help."

Lu Li grabbed the handle and paused for a moment, "If I break the machine, I won't be responsible for the compensation."

"Then tonight will be spent in the dark." Daniel's attitude is also very easy-going, "Now it's time to prepare a lighter."

Lu Li adjusted his fingers, and then pulled it up hard. The weight involved was much heavier than expected. With his feet on the floor, his waist and abdomen twisted, his arms exerted force, and the rope could be pulled up. After that, he could hear the engine spinning rapidly. The voice, one after another, is more forceful and fuller each time.

Lu Li had an inexplicable sense of the absurdity of bending his bow and shooting a big eagle.

Since the generation of memory, I have been used to the existence of electricity and light, and everything has become a matter of course; now, I have retreated into the darkness again, and I have to rely on my hands to complete the action of generating electricity, just like drilling wood to make fire, primitive and rough It is dry, but it is full of strength. This kind of process is really amazing.

Suddenly, with such a crisp sound, the light outside the window brightened up. The creamy yellow light tore through the thick darkness and sprinkled the light on the land again. The instant explosion was full of magic, as if All the energy in the muscles is injected into the generator, which then evolves into light and electricity.

Is this the conversion of kinetic energy into heat energy in physics?
"啪", there was another crisp sound, and the lazy light instantly filled the whole room, bright and full, and the darkness quickly faded like the tide, and unconsciously, a touch of warmth was added to the wooden house.Daniel flipped the switch.

One second of darkness, one second of light.

Lu Li let go of the handle, and looked at the fast-rotating generator, a smile bloomed involuntarily at the corner of his mouth.So, is it the same feeling to make fire by drilling wood?

Daniel's hearty voice came over, "Before, a Middle Easterner came here and had to live here for one night because of the heavy rain. There was also a power outage that night."

Lu Li turned around and said briskly, "Then, did you also show the power generation process of the manual generator?"

"Yes." Daniel just answered one word succinctly, and there was no more to say. This made Lu Li stunned, and then he reacted and asked tentatively, "Is he not used to it?"

Daniel shrugged and curled his lips, "He was scared away that night. It took three to ten minutes to get through the phone, sent a helicopter over, and then flew to Waterford in the rain. Fortunately, Later, the torrential rain gradually subsided, and the take-off and landing of the helicopter was not affected, otherwise, I doubt whether he would have just left on horseback.”

There was a sense of absurdity in that understated tone. Lu Li laughed straight away and asked in puzzlement, "Why? It's just a power outage. Aren't there power outages everywhere in the world? Except for the Pentagon."

"I don't know." Daniel spread his hands innocently. "I guess, the crude and primitive way of manual engine reminded him of when he was trapped in the desert. You can look around us."

The boundless grassland is surrounded by mountains at the far end, isolated from the world.Really, the sky should not respond, and the earth should not work.No matter how you look at it, it looks like the perfect place for the events in the story of Detective Conan.

Lu Li nodded meaningfully and stroked his chin, "I'm also thinking about calling a helicopter now."

Daniel glanced at Lu Li, and his eyes fell on his palm, "It's better to wipe off the oil stains on your tiger's mouth first." Both of them couldn't help smiling, and Daniel put away the canvas next to him, "Later , before going to bed, come back and turn off the generator. Someone should come by tomorrow morning to check the route and fix the cable."

"If Agatha Christie writes the script, then the following story will be wonderful." Lu Li said with a smile, causing Daniel to laugh out loud.

Agatha Christine, one of the most famous British female detective novelists, is listed as one of the three masters of reasoning literature. According to the Guinness World Records, Agatha is the best-selling author in human history. All forms of writing are counted, with only the Bible and William Shakespeare topping her combined sales.

When Lu Li mentioned Agatha at this time, what he was implying was her well-known set of novels, "There Are No Survival".The ending of the story is like the title of the book.

Daniel and Lu Li returned to the main house, and the two slowly sat down to make tea and chatted.Both Tony and Brandon were not very interested, but Richard and others sat down to join in the fun. It can be seen that Ireland, like Britain, has a strong foundation of tea culture.

It's late at night, and I have a good night's sleep.

When he got up the next morning, the electricity was running normally. Lu Li thought the cable had been repaired. He wondered why the Irish were so fast. Didn't they all say that the Europeans were slow?But when he walked out of the house, he could hear the rumble of the manual generator running, and Lu Li couldn't help but laugh.

The first thing that happened, Lu Li rode his horse out for a stroll again, and experienced the feeling of being fast again.

I have developed the habit of walking horses every day in the ranch before. I didn’t have the opportunity in the past, but I am not used to it; finally, it’s been a long time since I rode a horse again and felt the morning sun again.

Lu Li still chose the black truffle. After yesterday's running-in, today's tacit understanding has improved, not to mention whether the speed is faster, but the smoothness and ease of riding on horseback makes people immersed in it, running wildly, completely forget me.It seemed that even the strong wind couldn't catch up with his footsteps.

Originally, he only planned to run three laps, but after five laps, he reluctantly rode his horse and headed towards the stable.His back was sweating a little, and he could see the busy staff from a distance, and Richard was among them. He greeted him proactively, and asked with a smile, "How did you rest last night? Okay? The conditions here are not so perfect, and many people are not used to it."

"Very good." Lu Li walked over holding the black truffle, feeling refreshed and in a good mood, "A bed, a quilt, what else do you need? Where's Daniel?"

"He went to the mare's stable for a routine inspection." Richard simply replied, "The repair of the cable will take a while. It looks like it was broken by a wild boar. It is estimated that it will be powered on at noon."

"Why did the maintenance personnel come so fast? I thought it would be at least in the afternoon." Lu Li stopped, but found that the black truffle couldn't calm down at all. He was walking back and forth restlessly, trying to leave while pulling the rein.Sure enough, there are too many differences in the living habits of thoroughbred horses.

"We come here almost every six months, and the maintenance personnel have long been used to it." Richard explained casually, "What's more, we pay more taxes than the entire Fessard every year."

The latter sentence is the key point.

The black truffle kept walking forward, Lu Li didn't say any more, and took the black truffle back to the stable, but the black truffle showed an attitude of not wanting to go back, and kept pulling Lu Li towards the training ground, which made Lu Li laugh dumbfounded .Patted the black truffle's neck, "Dude, the morning share is over, the morning and afternoon share, we'll talk about it later."

After finally escorting the black truffle back, and then feeding him some carrots, the little guy began to relax and enjoy contentedly.Little days are even more nourishing than Lu Li's.

After finishing the morning exercise, Lu Li walked towards the mare's stable. Before reaching the destination, Daniel and Brandon walked over side by side. When they saw Lu Li, Daniel raised his voice and said, "How about it?" , how is the black truffle running today?"

"I think he should like me a little bit." Lu Li's answer made Daniel laugh, "For mating, do you need to pick a time?"

"No, you just need to be ready." Daniel said, "Generally speaking, a stallion can be mated four to six times a week, and each time is less than 3 minutes. If you decide, we will do it this afternoon. Can get the job done."

"Huh, this is not the situation I pictured in my mind." Lu Kai joked.

But Daniel said in surprise, "You really have a taste, and you still paint such a picture?"
