Soon, the tin box was pulled out along the springboard of the rear door of the armored vehicle and laid flat on the road. The nearby zombies did not respond, including several 300 meters away.
Then, the tin box was opened, and the zombies as far as 800 meters away immediately responded. When the cage was completely pulled out, the zombies more than 1,000 meters away also responded.
Hong Tao still didn't stop, and asked the team members to stuff the cage into the armored vehicle and close the door. As a result, the zombies more than 1,000 meters away did not move, and the zombies more than 600 meters away still responded.
"Get ready to fightPull it closer and shoot with a pistol!" This made Hong Tao a little puzzled. Although the shell of the iron box is quite thick, it is definitely not as thick as the shell of an armored car, but its shielding effect is many times stronger than that of an armored car. .
why? Hong Tao felt that the problem should lie in the material. So holding a flashlight and a paratrooper knife, he squatted next to the iron box and studied it carefully. As for the zombies running from all directions, he didn't take it seriously at all.
Time has really changed. A few months ago, hundreds of zombies were still a great threat to the rescue team, but now they belong to scabies, and they can be easily killed without exerting all their strength. If it wasn't for quiet research, there would be no need to waste a single bullet, just run over it to death with a car!
"Yo Xi, you've found the dead Load the car and go!" Ten minutes later, Hong Tao stood up with a sinister smile, and the problem was basically understood. It is not steel that is most effective in shielding the control signals of living corpses, but copper!
The iron box was supposed to hold some kind of precision instrument. In order to prevent external electromagnetic interference, the box was made into a biscuit sandwich. The inner and outer layers are made of steel, with a layer of copper sandwiched in the middle.
This structure is invisible to the naked eye, but in order not to suffocate the living corpse, Li Xiang used electric welding to melt two thumb-thick holes in the box, so that the sandwich copper skin showed its true colors. It looks very thin, about 2mm.
Is this the relationship? Not 100% sure yet. But as long as the direction is determined, it is very easy to verify. But there was an immediate effect. The living corpses were packed in iron boxes and indeed lost most of their ability to control the zombies. Even if the convoy passed through a community where the zombies were very dense, it did not trigger a zombie riot.
After returning to the base, the iron box was sent directly to the basement, but it was not opened right away, and tests were still to be done. He found a few copper hot pots, and then let Sun Jianshe, who has some sheet metal skills, beat them, and made a round and fully enclosed helmet for the living corpse, which was exactly the same as the diving helmet used for deep diving.
After several experiments, it proved that Hong Tao's thinking was correct, the living zombies rely on some kind of brain waves to control the zombies. Brain waves should also be a kind of electromagnetic wave, and most of them will be shielded by copper. It doesn't need to be too thick, just a thin layer.
However, there are many types of electromagnetic waves, and no material can completely shield them. But Hong Tao can ignore the cost, he has asked Sun Jianshe to get the gold helmet. In the last days, gold has become the most useless thing, and there are many sources of materials. The other is lead, one layer of lead, one layer of gold and one layer of copper, which is probably enough.
As for the laboratory, it can't be wrapped in gold and copper. Hong Tao's answer is yes! In fact, copper skin, gold skin and lead skin are not used at all. It is only necessary to make these metals into thin wires and weave them into a net to achieve a similar shielding effect.
"It's so fucking good. There is a man in the iron mask in the movie, and you made a man with a copper head!" Regarding the new costume of the living corpse, Jiao San's little strange words came immediately. deep worry.
Similar plots have been played out in many movies. There are always people who take the risk of raising some things that pose a considerable potential threat to human beings for scientific research, and eventually leak them due to various accidents, seriously endangering the survival of human beings. Then it's time for the Lonely Hero to overcome all odds and bring Frankenstein to justice!
"Old Hong, is this thing reliable?" Not only Jiao San had this idea, but most people in the rescue team thought so, but not many dared to express it, except for Liu Quanyou, who was more powerful than Jiao San. Expressed clearly.
"I can't be 100% sure. I will move the laboratory as soon as possible. But I need to hold a meeting first. The laboratory needs some personnel and equipment. I may have to fly a plane to the south. There must be many people who oppose it. It¡¯s not good to go to the supervisory committee to vote. I need your help to do the ideological work of the team leaders in private, and try to avoid this situation from happening.¡±
Now it seems that the medical laboratory must be relocated, but in line with the principle of urinating when catching a toad, Hong Tao has to use the waste as a bargaining chip in exchange for Liu Quanyou's support in other areas.
"Can those planes really work? Lao Hong, sometimes you run too fast, just like a plane. We are still running on the ground but you are about to fly. This will make everyone feel very nervous and anxious. I'mI understand the truth of what you said, and I agree with it, but most people are just ordinary people, they don't have that much ability, and they can't see so far. Some things should not be rushed, haste makes waste"
? Liu Quanyou is already familiar with assisting Hong Tao to successfully win the support of most members. He thinks it is very correct and necessary to say whether this superficial democracy is meaningful, and he supports it 100% on this issue. The reason is simple, he is the most familiar with this method, if he changes the model, he may not be able to keep his current position.
However, on some issues, he did not agree with Hong Tao's proposition. For example, he overemphasized the threat in the future, but put many important tasks at the moment on the back burner.
Will human beings go back to the era of slash-and-burn farming if they do not resume production as soon as Hong Tao described? It may or may not be true. In fact, this is not important. The key is that no matter what era you are in, you must firmly control your rights.
As long as the status is guaranteed, the quality of life will be the same in any age. If there is no electricity, there will be no electricity. Human beings have only really used electricity for more than a hundred years. Before that, they could live without electricity.
If the control of power is neglected for the sake of these material enjoyments, it will be putting the cart before the horse. The most critical issue now is to expand the size of the rescue team as soon as possible, and then control the right to speak in a city or even the entire region. Since the personnel of the rescue team has increased significantly, the benefits are obvious!
"This question may be looked at from another angle. It is because our medical laboratory has made some achievements that the name of the rescue team is known to the world. Apart from the false name, there are also practical benefits. According to the itinerary, there are In four or five days, the group of survivors from the Shandong Peninsula should arrive. There are two or three other teams that are also in talks. This cannot be said to be entirely due to the medical laboratory, but it is also indispensable. You said Woolen cloth?"
Hong Tao didn't understand the meaning of Liu Quanyou's words, but he had already seen it through. As the size of the rescue team gradually expanded, some management personnel could not help thinking more, and at the same time, the sense of crisis became weaker and weaker, and more energy was used to become bigger and stronger. To put it bluntly, I began to rush to seize power.
Facing this state, I have nothing to do. It is still the same sentence, this is the instinct of most people. If you object, you will be against most people, and the end will definitely not be good.
What can be done now is to use their desires to do things for themselves, and at the same time slow down the speed of this change, and gain time and support for their own plans. As for whether the goal can be achieved in the end, it is hard to say. The biggest variable is not only the human heart, but also the evolution speed of the living corpse.
People's hearts can think of ways to fool, induce or even deceive, but they can't do anything about the transformation of living corpses. They can only do their best and obey the destiny.
"Oh, how is the discussion going?" As soon as he heard that there were more teams to join besides the survivor group that had been negotiated in winter, Liu Quanyou immediately stopped mentioning the issue of development direction. If you can quickly expand your strength without bloodshed, this medical laboratory is indeed necessary to exist, and it will be worthwhile to put in a little more effort.
"It's mainly a matter of status. They ran away from their hometowns to survive. It's not because they trust us. It's just that the situation forced them, so they still want to live independently in a group."
"I didn't let go on this matter, and I can't set such a precedent. This is not a public toilet, and anyone who wants to come in and occupy a hole can just take it. Since I'm here, I want to share the resources here, so I can't just listen to the imperial edict. Listen to Xuan's set."
"In addition, we have to consider the feelings of the Pingnan Army and the Flying Tigers. If our side develops too fast, they may not be able to sit still. Let's talk slowly first. Dozens of people are not very conspicuous when they come here every now and then. "
So far, the rescue team has always been in charge of external liaison and negotiation power, but the progress has not been very smooth, especially on the issue of merging among survivor groups.
