There were only a few common ways to generate electricity.
Hydropower, wind power, thermal power, solar power, and nuclear power.
Gu Nianzhi quickly recalled the physics knowledge she had learned from the Special Operations Forces teachers about electricity resources. Combining it with the situation around the blue hole, she decisively ruled out the possibility of thermal power and hydropower.
Hydropower required a large drop or a temperature difference in the sea to generate electricity, but the terrain and hydrological conditions obviously didn't meet the requirements for hydropower.
Also, hydropower required large-scale infrastructure construction.
The environment around the blue hole didn't have any signs of artificial construction. It maintained its original appearance, so the possibility of hydropower could be completely ruled out.
There was no need to mention thermal power. The sea around the blue hole didn't have the natural conditions for thermal power generation.
Other than hydropower and thermal power, which required large-scale infrastructure, wind power and nuclear power also had very high requirements for power generation. Large-scale infrastructure construction was essential.
Gu Nianzhi quickly ruled out hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and nuclear power. She focused on solar power.
Solar power was a power generation method that could be large or small, complex, or simple.
Gu Nianzhi didn't know much about solar power, but she knew the general principle. The Special Operations Forces also had solar power panels. She had been curious and secretly climbed to the roof to observe them.
The world's best solar power circuit boards had already been developed to the point of being small and light. They could even be carried around.
Like other technologies, all the most advanced technologies were in the military field.
Solar power was no exception.
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. She looked at the blue hole's environment again and immediately noticed something different.
She observed the large and small reefs that surfaced near the blue hole's waters.
These reefs looked no different from normal reefs at first glance. However, if one looked closely, they would discover that the irregular shape and rough texture of the reefs actually had other secrets.
Gu Nianzhi focused on the reefs. Her eyes gradually focused on a place not far from her lifeboat.
The location of the reef was very coincidental. Half of it was inside the blue hole's waters, and the other half was outside.
If it really was solar power like she imagined, then the location of the reef was really remarkable.
She followed the position of the reef and looked around the blue hole's waters. She immediately discovered something.
The area between the blue hole's waters and the normal sea was dotted with reefs like this. Half of them were in the blue hole's waters, and the other half were in the normal sea.
It would be perfect to use them as a carrier for solar power …
Gu Nianzhi's eyes lit up, and she steered the lifeboat towards the reef.
Suddenly, a commotion and argument erupted on Gu Yanran's yacht.
Gu Nianzhi was so absorbed in her thoughts that she was awakened by the noise on the other side.
She subconsciously looked in that direction.
At the bow of Gu Yanran's yacht, the middle-aged woman was holding Gu Yanran hostage with a gun!
She stood with her back to the surface of the sea. Gu Yanran's neck was tightly strangled by the middle-aged woman. Gu Yanran kept trying to break the middle-aged woman's arm, but she couldn't break it.
The middle-aged woman pointed her gun at Gu Yanran's housekeeper and bodyguards and kept shouting.
Gu Nianzhi felt that Gu Yanran deserved it.
That middle-aged woman was obviously not a good person, but she still saved her and went to her yacht …
She averted her gaze and ignored Gu Yanran. She focused on jumping onto the reef.
The area between the blue hole's waters and the normal sea was filled with reefs of all sizes. Gu Nianzhi had to steer very carefully to avoid those reefs.
Arriving in front of the reef closest to her, Gu Nianzhi stopped the lifeboat and visually measured the distance between her and the reef. She took out a suitable length of rope from her diving suit, tied it into a circle, and threw it towards the reef.
She threw it twice and caught it on the reef. Then, she pulled it tight and kicked off the bottom of the boat. She jumped up and pounced on the reef!
She landed successfully!
Gu Nianzhi almost laughed out loud, but soon, she couldn't laugh anymore.
The reef was actually electrified!
She couldn't tell how many volts it was. Of course, it was lower than the bluish-purple electric arcs in the blue hole's waters, but it was still beyond what the average human body could withstand.
Gu Nianzhi felt like thousands of tiny needles were poking into her body. It wasn't particularly painful at first, but after three seconds, the pain spread throughout her entire body. She clenched her teeth to prevent herself from moaning.
Ignoring the pain all over her body, she half-squatted on the reef and began to use the simple circuit detection device on the Special Operations Forces all-purpose diving suit to find traces of solar circuit boards.
Not long after, she found a clue and was instantly amazed.
She didn't know who was so smart. These weren't f * cking reefs at all!
They were solar circuit boards disguised as reefs!
And a very advanced and novel paint was used on the outside. This paint could not only disguise the texture of the reef to protect the circuit board inside, but it could also multiply the absorption of solar energy!
This was very unbelievable.
The reason solar power hadn't been widely used was actually because the conversion rate of solar energy itself was too low. Its performance was low, and it caused serious environmental pollution.
However, these natural "solar reef slabs" near the blue hole not only had a high conversion rate, but they also realized recycling of the circuit device, so the pollution to the environment was almost minimized.
This was also why this area of the sea had been able to maintain its original appearance.
Using the environment while simultaneously transforming and protecting the environment. This kind of technology was truly mature and sustainable.
While Gu Nianzhi was amazed, she also had to carefully avoid the bluish-purple electric arcs near the blue hole on the other side of the reef. Those arcs were obviously high-voltage electricity. If she were to come into contact with them, she would definitely die.
It didn't matter if she died, but what about Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze?
Gu Nianzhi would never let that happen.
Now that she knew where the power generator was, the next step was to destroy the power generator here.
Gu Nianzhi looked up and counted. There were about eight similar reefs arranged in an octagonal shape.
Her time was limited, so she didn't have the time to climb onto those reefs one by one to destroy them.
Now was the time to use the destructive weapon.
Gu Nianzhi took out her gun from her diving suit and aimed at several similar reefs nearby. She fired continuously, causing the reefs to shatter into pieces and completely destroying the external coating and internal wiring of the power generator.
Two minutes later, the bluish-purple electric arcs in the blue hole's waters weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, they weren't as strong as before. Instead, they were like scattered blue will-o '-the-wisps floating on the azure blue sea.
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed. She knew she had found the right direction. Just as she was about to continue looking for those reefs to shoot, she heard a loud noise coming from Gu Yanran's yacht.
"Let me go! Let me go! You can't bite the hand that feeds you! "
It was Gu Yanran's hoarse voice.
Gu Nianzhi quickly turned around and saw that on the third floor of Gu Yanran's yacht, the middle-aged woman had taken a gun from somewhere and was holding Gu Yanran hostage with it. She stood with her back facing the blue hole's waters.
"I have nothing now! Get your family to pay the ransom! "The middle-aged woman's cackling was like a demon's voice piercing through Gu Nianzhi's mind.
Gu Nianzhi frowned and slowly raised the gun in her hand. She wanted to take the opportunity to shoot the middle-aged woman from behind and help Gu Yanran out of trouble.
She couldn't just watch Gu Yanran get killed in front of her.
However, before she could do anything, Gu Yanran's situation changed.
The middle-aged woman suddenly stumbled and fell forward. Gu Yanran somehow escaped from the middle-aged woman's grasp and also had a gun in her hand. She fired multiple shots at the middle-aged woman's chest and then kicked her into the sea.
The seawater was immediately dyed red with blood. The middle-aged woman's corpse quickly floated up and floated in the sea.
Yamaguchi Youko, whom Huo Shaoheng and the others had been chasing for so long, was dead just like that?!
And Gu Yanran had killed her herself?!
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened, and her mouth almost couldn't close.
However, she was only shocked for a moment. She immediately turned around and planned to find a place to jump into the waters of the blue hole.
Her attention was focused on figuring out how to find the place where the blue electric arcs were the weakest to jump into. She didn't notice that the huge ship she had seen earlier had anchored nearby. A fully equipped lifeboat several times larger than her lifeboat had been released from the ship and was speeding towards her.
"Gu — Nianzhi! Get back here! " An angry roar came from behind her, and the clear, cold voice pulled Gu Nianzhi back from her thoughts.
She turned around in shock again and saw He Zhichu standing on a white ship. He was glaring at her angrily!
"Professor He?! Why are you here?! " Gu Nianzhi's shock turned to joy. She smiled and waved at him. Then she quickly turned around and jumped into the area where the blue electric arcs were the weakest.
It wasn't that she didn't want to listen to He Zhichu, but Huo Shaoheng couldn't wait any longer. She didn't have time to explain to him.
He Zhichu, who had just rushed over, watched Gu Nianzhi's slender figure jump into the waters of the blue hole that still had weak electric sparks.
This was the second time she had met with an accident in front of him.
This time, no one stopped him. He Zhichu didn't say anything and jumped down as well.
