Pet King

Fina hated Zhang Zian's mysterious behavior the most. He was obviously trying to keep her in suspense. Cats were naturally curious, and she couldn't stand it.

"Don't talk about this nonsense. What do you want to do? are you going to tell me or not?" It showed its claws and said coldly.

Zhang Zian was a scholar who had encountered a soldier, so he could only fight when the odds were against him.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm not sure if we can get in and out of the slaughterhouse safely tonight. It's up to God. " He quickly explained.

"The heavens?" Fina looked up at the night sky suspiciously."What does it have to do with God?"

Zhang Zian raised his phone. The local weather forecast was displayed on the screen, but it was updated during the day when there was internet access. There was no internet access now, so there was no way to update the real-time weather forecast.

"The weather forecast said that there might be strong convolutions tonight, and the probability of rainfall is 90%. Do you know strong convolutions? It's extremely bad weather like thunderstorms, strong winds, hailstones, and so on. "

Fina's face turned even colder."Are you looking down on my intelligence?"

"No..." He explained helplessly. He sat up again and pointed to the forest behind him."Do you still remember the red tunic tree that was struck by lightning and burned? When I saw that, I remembered that the air here is humid, cold and hot air converge here, and thunderstorms are not rare. "

Fina and the elves waited for him to continue.

"The red robes are extremely tall. Those red robes that are higher than their peers in the forest often become natural targets of lightning strikes. As the saying goes, the most outstanding tree in the forest will be struck by lightning." He then gestured at the surroundings for them to look."Look around again. This is private territory. There are no particularly tall ancient trees to act as lightning rods."

All the elves knew that the trees in this private territory were shorter than the tall red-robed trees in the forest.

"So, if there's Thunder nearby, where will the lightning strike?" He didn't expect the elves to answer the question. Instead, he pointed to the tallest building in the slaughterhouse and said,""Can you see that place clearly? There's a long lightning rod on top of the building. "

The slaughterhouse was brightly lit, and the elves could see a tall and thin rod pointing to the sky on the top of the building.

"There are no tall red shirts around to act as natural lightning needles. The slaughterhouse must set up its own lightning needles to prevent being struck by lightning."

The slaughterhouse wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either. The buildings were scattered, and several of them had lightning rods on top of them.

The elves seemed to understand a little, but they didn't fully understand. They almost broke the last layer of paper window.

Zhang Zian took out a Switzerland army knife from his pocket and began to cut the insulating rubber on both ends of the wire, revealing the copper core of the wire, which was more than ten centimeters long, on both ends.

Then, he took out the box with the drone, opened it, and assembled it.

"So, I'm going to use the drone to fly this electric wire to a high altitude, at least much higher than the slaughterhouse's highest lightning rod, and leave the other end of the electric wire on the ground and connect it to the grid. If ... And I'm saying if, if there really is a thunderstorm tonight, the lightning won't be attracted by the red shirt or the lightning rod, but will follow the wire and hit the electric net. "

After he finished speaking, the elves took a few seconds to understand what he meant. It was simply terrifying!

Richard could not see clearly, but he understood. He patted his head with his wings and said,""Kaka! In my opinion, you'd better not be a pet store manager with that brain of yours. You'll have a better future as a terrorist. "

"Then ... What will happen if the lightning strikes the electric net?" old time tea asked eagerly.

Zhang Zian shrugged his shoulders."I don't know. I'll just take it as a scientific experiment."

"Have you ever considered the idea of being used as an experimental subject in a slaughterhouse?" Richard ridiculed.

There was a scientific story that was widely known in both China and the United States. Many Americans believed it without a doubt, and it was even included in Chinese textbooks. The story was as well-known as Newton's apple and Galileo's two iron balls. It was "Franklin's kite."

In the 18th century, Franklin was a very powerful historical figure. He had a lot of famous titles, such as writer, inventor, scientist, diplomat, thinker, and primary philosopher. He made indelible contributions to mathematics and physics, especially in the field of electricity. He was one of the pioneers of electricity.

According to the legend, one day in 1752, Franklin brought his son William to an open space and flew a kite in a thunderstorm. He tied a copper key to the end of the kite line. When the kite flew into the thunderstorm, a bolt of lightning flashed. He felt his hand go numb, so he put his hand close to the copper key. Just as he had expected, sparks burst out between his finger and the copper key. He cried out in surprise,""William! I was electrocuted! It can be proven now that lightning is electricity!"

Almost everyone knew the story. Lightning was indeed electricity, but it was doubtful whether Franklin had done the experiment himself.

The famous anti-rumor program "rumor Terminator" discussed this legend in season 4 and Episode 5. The method used was very rigorous, and the conclusion was clear. If the experiment was successful, Franklin would die without a doubt.

In fact, a Russian scientist was struck to death by lightning in 1753 in order to verify this experiment. It could be considered a sacrifice for science.

Franklin was undoubtedly a great man, but he might have never done this experiment, at least not in the legendary way. Otherwise, he would have lost a few of his awe-inspiring titles ...

In addition, his son, William, was not a little kid like the illustrations in the Chinese textbooks. If the legend was true, William was 21 years old in 1752 and was a young man in his Prime. William was a politician himself, but he had never mentioned that he had participated in this famous experiment.

There were countless historical riddles, and there was no need to miss this one. There were also many legends that people had imposed on great people. Whether or not this experiment happened, it didn't hurt Franklin's greatness.

Franklin was the inventor of the modern lightning rod, but today, Zhang Zian was going to replicate his experimental method to bypass the lightning rod in the slaughterhouse.

How high was the voltage on the high-voltage grid?

100,000 volts should be the maximum you can go right?

The voltage of lightning was as high as 100 million volts!

He didn't use a rain-soaked kite string, but a real copper wire.

The erratic kite was also replaced by stable and controllable drones.

At least on this night, he was the modern, China version of Franklin.

The only uncertainty was whether the weather forecast was accurate.
