#383 - Dragnet
Looking at the grid formed by the floating silk threads, Zhou Yi was a bit dazed.
The information he received was that Xie Dongshan had found high-quality biological materials with high electrical conductivity that could be used for power transmission and storage.
But the demonstration involved creating an aerial conductive network that could support electric cats.
Zhou Yi asked Xie Dongshan, "Is it safe for the silk threads to be electrified in the air? I remember they can be easily cut by sharp objects at high temperatures."
"Please rest assured about this."
The Bone Man replied, "Chairman, the silk threads have a strong ability to change and shape under high temperature and high energy conditions. Using this characteristic, we can create shapes such as plates, spheres, columns, and crossbars to reinforce those weak nodes. Moreover, the network structure provides multiple circuits, which can maximize the guarantee of power supply."
It pulled the silk thread conductive network with its finger.
When electrified, it showed a soft and resilient texture like rubber.
"Using this, we can build conductive network nodes in the high-altitude clouds, enter different regions from the air, and then connect to the ground through the conductive network."
"Just like the power networks used by the old human civilization."
"I consulted the programming department, obtained data from the data center in Recursive City, and consulted a large number of materials on power systems and energy systems. The two biggest advantages of electricity are its extremely high transmission efficiency and its convenience and controllability."
Xie Dongshan raised its head, its dark eye sockets staring directly at the clouds: "If the company allows, our power department can spread the conductive network over the entire Development Alliance."
"Our electric cats can reach any area in an instant, and they can shuttle back and forth in this world."
"I think this basic project is very valuable."
"After the conductive network is set up, as our alliance's five major regions continue to develop, the number of electric cats will inevitably increase. The electric cats in each region can support each other and share resources, ensuring that we have a team of energy lifeforms that can arrive in an instant. Their strength is at least B-grade, and there are even many A-grades."
The Bone Man continued, "I asked Mr. A Feng and Mr. Zhua Ma, and they showed me a subspecies of silk threads, which is black silk created by mutated Y-shaped silk-spinning glands. The black silk will turn into tiny particles that can be sprayed on most materials and has the same properties as silk threads."
"I was thinking of adding these coatings to some gliders in our airspace. Not many are needed, just enough to become a conductive network node, and the electric cats can enter the gliders at any time. Whether encountering external attacks or other dangers, as long as they are in our conductive network coverage area, they can appear in time."
"Although this sounds a bit crazy... I believe that the conductive network system is definitely a worthwhile part of the power infrastructure. It will build stepping stones for electric cats to shuttle in the sky, on the ground, and even in the Dead Sea, allowing them to appear in various places without delay."
Zhou Yi listened carefully throughout the entire process.
This idea sounded quite grand.
If Xie Dongshan's design could be realized in technical applications, it would create a super network integrating energy, defense, and information.
Zhou Yi thought for a while: "The sky can be laid out with silk threads, what about the ground?"
"Chairman, the ground is the simplest."
Xie Dongshan said, "The ground doesn't need silk threads, just use the most cost-effective copper wire. Use copper to build a two-layer conductive network on the ground and underground. The underground conductive network can transmit without obstacles, and the ground conductive network can set up many nodes, allowing the electric cats to walk and patrol directly on the streets. Of course, the electric cats that do this part of the work need to be extremely stable."
"The most difficult part is the sky. Currently, the best form I can think of is to shape the silk threads into spheres and suspend them in fixed areas. However, due to air flow, they will drift and move... There is also the problem of connecting the air and ground conductive networks. The distance is too far, and energy cannot be transmitted to the sky."
The Bone Man was a little helpless about this.
"That's not difficult."
The Minister of Electricity, You Ai, next to him said, "To maintain suspension at a specific height, it is not necessary to use silk threads entirely. Manufacturing high-altitude transformers with copper coils sprayed with black silk coating can rely on the effect of electromagnetic induction to achieve the increase and decrease of voltage."
"Metal high-altitude transformers have two advantages. One is that the number of turns can be adjusted to adjust the current and induction intensity, and the other is that its weight can offset the buoyancy of the silk threads and is not easily pushed by the airflow, and can maintain stability for a long time."
"The connection of air and ground conductive networks can also be completed by electromagnetic induction. Construct copper coil nodes of different heights, and amplify and expand them into the high altitude through electromagnetic induction. In specific areas far away from residential areas, electromagnetic connections between the ground and the sky can be built, enough for electric cats to enter the sky."
This senior power engineer spoke in an orderly manner: "There is existing technology available for this."
"We can imitate the Spark Plains and build curved houses with silk thread coatings to allow them to maintain a certain height of suspension. Install multiple floating hearts inside and replenish fuel regularly. They will be the core backbone of electric cats' aerial activities."
"With such conductive network nodes carrying energy, electric cats can complete jumps and shuttles in the air and have enough energy to replenish them."
Xie Dongshan was stunned for a moment: "This method... is really good, it turns out that it can be solved by changing the way of thinking. As expected of the Minister."
Everyone immediately started a heated discussion.
Based on the two heavyweight inventions of electric cats, everyone saw unlimited possibilities, and then each one extended various ideas from this, with various arguments accompanied by brainstorming and the emergence of new inspirations.
The meeting started in the morning and ended when it was dark.
Zhou Yi hosted the participants on the rooftop, using a grill made from a Flame Cup to hold a barbecue feast. With various drinks, everyone was still discussing with great interest while eating.
This conductive network system constructed by Xie Dongshan was named "Heaven and Earth Net" by Zhou Yi.
He allocated 500,000 light seeds to the Ministry of Electricity to start the construction of the local conductive network system in Sandport, building supporting equipment such as power plants, substations, power transmission lines, protection facilities, and power storage devices.
Besides that.
Another technical consultant, Liang Xing's invention of the "Electrolytic Cat Box" was not much inferior.
Earlier before this meeting, Zhou Yi announced the establishment of the Ministry of Electricity, appointed Minister You Ai, and then the first special approval was to build a large Electrolytic Cat Box.
Two large Electrolytic Cat Boxes—this industrial-grade medium-sized facility—have been built on the coast of Yalong Bay and were named Electrolytic Towers.
Caustic soda, chlorine gas, and hydrogen gas are continuously produced and can be directly sold as chemical commodities.
Especially since the water source has been somewhat polluted by the Dead Sea, these are important materials for water purification and sewage treatment, so there is no need to worry about sales.
The Electrolytic Tower and the Heaven and Earth Net are being promoted in an intense and orderly manner.
The Ministry of Electricity is also recruiting people on a large scale. Some electrical engineers came here from Recursive City, and some existing company employees were selected and joined this rising new department after training.
……
The two major projects are being promoted by the Ministry of Electricity.
Zhou Yi's attention returned to the company's first school—Mushroom Forest Elementary School.
In the new five-year plan, education is an absolute core. This is related to whether the company can independently produce fresh blood and effectively improve the knowledge level and skills of existing employees.
Zhou Yi recruited four teachers from the Forbidden Continent.
They are medical teacher Lu Na, chemistry teacher Liang Xing, biology teacher Xie Dongshan, and mathematics teacher Nian Gao.
Plus the original mushroom studies teacher Sun Chonglai, language and history teacher Diamond.
And physical education teacher Tuohai.
There are a total of seven teachers teaching in the elementary school.
The most noteworthy of these is Tuohai.
This older generation panda man, after Sun Hao's treatment restored his mental health, is still in a long recovery period.
He seems to like children very much, and treats human children, black hand mushrooms, and Guangna species cubs equally, showing tolerance and patience.
The latest novel is first published on 6|9|shu|ba!
Tuohai practices Tai Chi outside Emerald City every day, stretching his body, and extending his limbs. This scene was imitated by the children, who wanted to apprentice him—because they all knew that he used to be a noble Sky Walker, an elite warrior of heaven.
The children's idea is very simple.
If they get guidance from such a strong person, they can also become strong.
But Tuohai always said with a smile: "Our clan is best at cultivating longevity, not bravery and fighting. I won't teach, I won't teach."
He doesn't teach combat.
But he taught them the techniques and principles of exercise.
Later, Tuozhu privately found Zhou Yi and said: "Chairman, I don't know what's wrong with my dad now, he's changed his temperament."
"He used to be annoyed by children, and he would tell me to play aside after a few words. Now he seems to have seen through life and death, and has become peaceful and tolerant."
"You see, he has nothing to do anyway, can you let him go to school to be a teacher to teach exercise?"
Zhou Yi then found the old panda man: "My idea is that students should not advocate fighting, but a strong physique is very important. Whether it is to maintain confidence, or to be unafraid of difficulties, or to have a strong will, this is useful."
"Can you come out of the mountain and teach them exercise, strengthen their bodies, this can make students get sick less and be more energetic."
Tuohai agreed very readily and started happily taking the children to practice boxing and running.
Soon after, he applied to Zhou Yi for a batch of sports equipment.
"They can only persist and develop a habit if they find pleasure in exercise."
"So I need some corresponding props."
Zhou Yi readily agreed.
A large number of sports equipment from the Age of Gods was sent to the school.
The old panda man started football, basketball, table tennis, badminton, archery, fencing and other courses according to the children's interests.
This aroused great enthusiasm among the students, and they signed up actively.
Many adult employees also went to classes with thick faces in order to participate in these competitive games.
In a very short time, Tuohai's physical education class became as popular as Liang Xing's chemistry class.
They have a common characteristic: they can stimulate students' interest and teach through fun.
Originally, according to Zhou Yi's plan, the one hundred or so students in Mushroom Forest Elementary School should start with the simplest basic knowledge.
However, the actual situation is that they started learning and doing practical research at the same time, directly starting a graduate-style learning mode.
Children in this era reach adulthood at the age of ten. Their childhood is short, and they naturally think that they should learn the knowledge and skills of adults.
The seven teachers did not feel anything wrong with this.
Elementary school starts doing scientific research... This is the education model with wasteland characteristics.
However, there are large differences in the learning progress between students. There are Chen Ji-like talented people who understand as soon as they learn, and there are children who are confused no matter what.
The school's requirements for them are not high. They only need to master basic knowledge, find their interests, and then choose this direction. They can graduate as long as they pass one exam.
Those who want to work after they reach the age can also work while going to school.
The teachers also know that these children have weak foundations, so the difficulty of the questions is not high.
Normally, most children can graduate smoothly after six years of elementary school education.
Graduates can directly enter the company to work.
Excellent ones will also receive rewards and can choose to enter senior departments.
There are a total of three classes in the first phase of Mushroom Forest Elementary School, with 147 students. Zhou Yi is very concerned about this group of talent seedlings, not only providing high-quality school meals, but also providing free school uniforms and learning tools.
But what the final result will be has to be verified by time.
