160: Big fan

Finally, only the four researchers from the institute and Fang Yuanming remained on the mountaintop.

Wu Zijin: "Adjutant Fang, aren't you leaving?"

"I'm currently in charge of your affairs. You can tell me if you have any needs. Or is it that your experiment cannot be seen?"

Wu Zijin: "It's fine, you can see it. We have such a huge thing standing on the mountaintop, many people in the distance can see it, right?"

Xu Bai: "People in the distance who see this thing probably won't know what it's for, as long as they don't come looking for us."

Fang Yuanming: "Haha, you can rest assured, even if they see it, they won't come to disturb you. General Lei below will help you block them."

...The members of the construction team descending the mountain were chatting among themselves as they walked.

"Captain, what do you think they're trying to test?"

"Yeah, to actually come to our military zone to test something, and General Lei even agreed! I've never seen any of these researchers before, have you?"

"I haven't either. They look quite young. Could they be testing cards effects for their teachers?"

"I'm also quite curious. The base they built is a bit unusual. It doesn't look like a house in size. They said a long pole is to be fixed on top."

Captain: "I'm with you guys, I don't know the specifics either."

"Alright, I was just wondering if they're testing some new weapon."

"Probably not, since it's meant to be fixed here, and these researchers aren't the weapon researchers we've seen before."

"Yeah, if it were weapon research, our General Lei would definitely be here."

"Yes, yes, Old Wang, we all know General Lei is a weapon enthusiast. If it were weapon research, he'd definitely be here."

"Hahahahaha."

At this point, everyone burst into laughter.

However, their discussion didn't yield any results, and they returned to the barracks with a belly full of questions... The people on the mountain were unaware of the discussions happening below.

Liu Mengyun asked Xu Bai.

"Should we start testing now?"

Xu Bai: "Let's start now, after all, we're not sure if there will be any problems."

Hearing this, Liu Mengyun took out the newly made Large Wind Turbine 4.3 version cards from the safe and inserted it into a cards reader specifically designed for large structures.

Xu Bai: "Start the machine."

Upon hearing the instruction, Wu Zijin turned on the generator's switch, the fixed axis of the blades lowered, and the wind turbine blades began to rotate with the wind.

Everyone had some experience in making this cards, so the generator started up smoothly.

Everyone took their positions and began various tests on the Large Wind Turbine...

In the distance, a member of the construction team who had just returned to the barracks suddenly saw something appear on the mountain while stretching his neck.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be too surprised, but this was not a normal circumstance.

Who would have thought that a huge fan suddenly appeared on the mountain!

"Look, it looks like a big fan on the mountain. Can this fan cool down the nearby area?"

Hearing his voice, other teammates also turned their heads to look.

A big fan!

Where?

A big fan on the mountain?

They felt like they had heard a joke.

After all, what good would a big fan on the mountain do?

Then they looked at the mountain and found that there really was a big fan on it.

"It really is a big fan. It must require a lot of batteries to make it spin, right?"

"What's the use of putting it on the mountain?"

"Are you guys stupid? Isn't it very windy on the mountain? Hmm, maybe the wind blows past it, making the fan spin, and then the fan blows the wind to cool things down."

"Hey, Old Feng, what you said sounds quite reasonable. Maybe that's exactly it."

Someone realized that the fan was already spinning, so, logically, it should be cooler here.

"In that case, do you feel a bit cooler now? After all, that big electric fan is spinning."

Hearing this, a soldier closed his eyes and felt it.

"I actually do feel a bit cooler."

Hearing what he said, the others also carefully felt it.

"You're talking nonsense, isn't it still the same as before?"

"Yeah, it's definitely cooler in the afternoon than at noon. That's your illusion."

"Really?" The soldier who had just said it was cooler scratched his head.

"Then if it's not cooler, what's the big fan for?"

"My brain can't figure it out, I give up."

"Alright, I can't figure it out either. I only know that a fan blows wind."

None of the people present could figure out the purpose of a big fan on the mountain, so they disbanded to take a shower... Meanwhile, on the other side.

General's office.

Lei Feng had just finished a meeting and was standing by the window relaxing when he noticed the giant fan on the distant mountaintop.

Yes, he also thought the one on the mountain was a fan.

He knew this must be an experiment conducted by Xu Bai and his group.

Bai Xiaobai's laboratory researches electrical energy.

That fan on the mountain must be an electric fan, but this electric fan looks too big. How many batteries would it need to make it move?

If it can make such a big fan move, can it also make cars move?

In that case, will they have electric-powered cars in the future?

If so, transportation will become even more convenient... Meanwhile, on the other side.

Government office.

"Governor Yin, we've received feedback from the public that there's a giant fan on the mountain. Is this a cult's conspiracy? Or an illegal structure built by an individual?"

Yin Su frowned.

A large electric fan on the mountain, visible to many people, how big must it be?

He felt the matter might be a bit serious and immediately asked.

"Which mountain is that big fan on?"

"That place seems to be Military Zone's Mountain No. 9."

"Are you sure it's a military zone mountain?"

"Yes, confirmed."

Hearing this, Yin Su's hanging heart dropped.

After all, that's a military zone. If a cult or an individual could cause trouble in a military zone, then General Lei wouldn't need to be in charge.

It's probably the military zone testing some weapon.

However, he still needed to send someone to inquire and warn them. Testing weapons so ostentatiously could easily cause panic among ordinary people.

"Alright, I understand. I will inquire with the military zone."

"Then how should we inform the public?"

"Just say it's preparation for resisting the beast tide."

"Alright."

...After dinner, back in the office.

General Lei received a letter sent by carrier pigeon from the Government.

He opened the letter and looked... ┐(‘～`；)┌

He also didn't know what that thing on the mountain was.

Never mind, he'd just tell the Government it was some weapon testing done to resist the beast tide.

Beast Tide: ...Why do you blame everything on me!
