Return to the Electrical Age

"Oh man, the thing optimized by the system is too awesome. If we can reverse-engineer the technology of how the battery and motor are optimized, it will be a great progress in the scientific development of mankind."

Picking up the crossbow and putting it on the table, Liam looked at the upgraded electric crossbow with curiosity.

The battery problem had not been well solved until the whole population traveled to the wasteland.

Although major manufacturers were crazily adding batteries to their cores and trying to increase the charging speed of batteries, the capacity of batteries still followed the principle that the larger the size and weight, the larger the capacity. There was no awareness or technology to make a larger capacity in a smaller volume.

Of course, even if technology was restored to its heyday, it would probably take at least decades to develop such a terrifying effect as the system transformation.

The overall color scheme of the crossbow still chose a low-key wood color and black composition.

The weight had also been upgraded from the previous 4kg to about 9kg.

It was heavy and made people feel very safe.

"Fortunately, the system comes with a charging cable, otherwise I would have to go to the trading channel to find a USB charging plug."

Picking up the wire on the ground and looking around, Liam couldn't help laughing.

The attached 120W fast charging head was enough for a 2W mAh battery.

This wave of 220 survival points was a great deal for now!

After examining the structure of the crossbow, Liam had a preliminary understanding of how to use this electric crossbow.

Before using it, he had to press the switch on the electric device. After three seconds of normal power supply, it would automatically start the self-check function.

At this time, the cocking device would start to work and automatically push up the first crossbow arrow in the magazine.

At the same time, the trigger safety valve would automatically drop, and then normal shooting could begin. 

The working principle of the electric cocking device was also very simple. It simulated the way people cocked the string, with the force provided by the motor, to lift the crossbow arrow in the magazine and achieve the purpose of cocking.

"Sure enough, there's no electricity. It seems that the meaning of sending me a charger is to let me charge it."

After pressing the switch twice, although Liam complained, the joy on his face couldn't be suppressed.

Now that there was a generator and diesel in the base, the most indispensable thing was electricity.

Once the design drawing of the Sunrise Shelter was in place, he could try to install wires and put on the light bulbs he had picked up today to try out the effect.

Huff and puff!

After releasing the air and connecting the starter motor, the generator vibrated with the power on the dashboard.

"Ao!"

Oreo, who was still lying on the ground feeling sorry for his big fluffy tail being burned, was startled.

He lay on the ground and glared at the generator!

"Come on, this is a good thing. If someone comes into the base in the future, we must protect this!"

After comforting Oreo, Liam turned around and went to the place where the sundries were placed. He took out the power strip he had obtained when he got the TV.

When the power strip was connected to the generator and the indicator light turned red, Liam was so excited that tears came to his eyes.

"What a great progress of civilization! I didn't expect that I, Liam, would one day be ahead of billions of people. Thank you to the ancestors of the Liu family for their blessing."

The realization of electricity not only represented progress in food, clothing, housing, and transportation, as well as entertainment, but also a symbol of strength, a synonym for "safety."

Quickly bringing the two power supplies over and putting them away, Liam first connected the large 400Ah lithium iron phosphate battery with the special charging cable on the battery.

After a while, after confirming that there was no problem with the output, Liam connected the electric crossbow to the power supply. 

In the shelter, which was not very bright, two red charging lights were blinking, accompanied by the buzzing of the generator.

In all the days he had been in the apocalypse, there had never been such a peaceful moment.

Listening to the familiar noise, Liam closed his eyes and lay on the bed, feeling it quietly, and gradually fell asleep.

In his dream, pictures seemed to appear before his dark eyes.

It was a hot summer night.

The power was out.

The old people were sitting at the chess booth at the door, playing fiercely. The children were free from their homework for a long time and were running around in the alley with toys, laughing and playing. The adults also stopped their busy work and sat at the door to enjoy the cool, occasionally looking at their children and shouting, "Kid, run slower!"

The owner of a fast-food restaurant on the side of the road took this opportunity to push out his generator and make dishes one after another to attract customers on the side of the road.

A cold dish, with spinach noodles, a mouthful of noodles, a mouthful of garlic, a mouthful of glutinous and fragrant, crispy and refreshing, fat and thin steamed meat...

The smell of watermelon, the smell of sewers...

"Woof, woof, woof!"

And Oreo's barking!!!

"Damn dog, I just started to fantasize, and I haven't even started to煽情水一波, and you interrupted me. You're really something (expression pack.jpg)."

Liam opened his eyes with a slightly helpless look and looked at Oreo, who was on high alert. He immediately put away the smile on his face.

"Is someone here?"

"Woof!"

"Damn it, they came so fast. They really have dog noses!"

Seeing that Oreo had started to tremble all over, and his black and white eyes had a hint of blood in them, Liam jumped to the generator.

To cut off the power of a normal generator, one had to go through the steps of stopping it. First, turn off the air switch, cut off the power supply, adjust the diesel engine from high speed to low speed, let the machine idle for three to five minutes, and then turn off the ignition switch. This was better for the maintenance of the machine. 

But now, there was no time for Liam to prepare!

The enemy! Was coming!

There was no indication of the running time on the generator. Liam could only compare the previous fuel storage capacity of the diesel generator with the current fuel storage capacity, and then calculate it by dividing the power consumption.

One hour and forty-four minutes.

This was a rough calculation. Two hours of charging time might not be enough to fully charge the 20Ah (20,000mAh) electric crossbow, but it was definitely enough for an encounter.

Cutting off the air switch and turning the ignition switch to the end, the rumbling diesel generator stopped working.

The shelter became quiet again, and even breathing could be clearly heard.

Walking quickly to the stone gate, Liam put his ear to the stone gate and tried to listen to the movement outside.

As expected.

Bursts of barking, different from ordinary canines, kept coming with low growls.

"Damn it, these Kobolds are really smart. They can even find this place. It seems that if I don't keep them today, there will be no peace!"

The enemy had reached the door. Unlike the previous bandits, this time there was no live broadcast to help him peek at the terrain.

But...

Liam's eyes fell on a dark square box placed on the inner side of the utility room.

That was...

The big-screen TV he had brought back from the ruins!
