As the saying goes, don't go overboard. Zhang Zian knew that in the past, he and Peter Lee just didn't like each other. Peter Lee didn't know that it was his elfin that was blocking his progress in the golden pyramid. But if he really attracted thunder and lightning to destroy the power grid, he and Peter Lee would have a very bad relationship in the future.
But there was no other way. He knew that Peter Lee was doing evil, but he could not pretend that he did not know. Besides, Peter Lee had already ordered the security guards to search for him. Even if they caught him, he would not be able to get away with it, so he might as well take the initiative to fight.
The drone had four symmetrical propellers, distributed on the upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right. There was a diamond-shaped empty area in the middle. When the propellers spun, the area in the middle would not be affected by the propellers.
Zhang Zian cut off a small section of the insulating rubber on both ends of the wire and wrapped one end, which was still wrapped in insulating rubber, around the body of the drone. Only this small section of the exposed copper core extended out from the middle of the four propellers, about a meter above the propellers. The more it extended out, the safer the drone itself was. But there was no other way. The wire was too thin and could not support its own weight. This was the limit. If it extended any further, the wind might cause it to tilt and get involved in the propellers, causing the drone to crash.
The other end was left on the ground. After the drone successfully took off, the ground end would be placed on the power grid. The sky end was not in contact with anything, so even if the ground end was placed on the power grid, there would be no current passing through.
Usually, when the drone took off, its fixed partner was the PTZ camera. But this time, it did not take off for reconnaissance. Its load-bearing capacity was limited, and it would be difficult to take off with the wire. It had to reduce its weight as much as possible, so it could not carry the PTZ camera. This time, after it took off, Zhang Zian could only rely on his eyes to operate blindly on the ground. Fortunately, he had night vision. Otherwise, he would not even be able to see a ghost in the air.
He had left his other luggage in the hiding place during the day, but he had brought the drone box with him. When he saw the weather forecast during the day, he had the idea. At that time, he had intended to use wet cloth or thin rattan as a conductor. Now that he had the wire, the conductivity was better, but it was also heavier.
The elfins could not help, so they could only watch him get busy and look up at the sky from time to time. Even the blind Richard pretended to look up at the sky and murmured, "To go down or not to go down, this is the question."
This time, it was truly "Man proposes, but God disposes". No matter how wonderful the idea was, or how shocking the plan was, if God did not give him face, then it would all be in vain.
Although the historical romance could not be taken seriously, someone as strong as Zhuge Kongming would probably have died a long time ago if God had not sent him that east wind …
Zhang Zian's hands were busy, and his heart was also uneasy.
The sky darkened very early in the forest, and it was a cloudy day to begin with. Although they had been busy for a long time, it was actually only around ten o 'clock at night.
Generally speaking, it rained after midnight. If it didn't rain before dawn, then he could only pack up and leave. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to escape at dawn.
The security guards were still searching further away, so there was no need to worry about them returning. Even if they returned, they would return to the slaughterhouse through the gate to sleep.
After a while, everything that needed to be done was done. He silently thought about what else he had not considered.
Thunderstorms were often accompanied by strong winds, and the drone was much stronger than a kite. It had a gyroscope inside, and when it detected that the body was tilting horizontally, it could automatically adjust the position of the body to resist a certain degree of strong wind, but it would not work if the wind was too strong.
The drone had accompanied him in and out of Egypt. Without it, he and the whole team might have died in the desert and become dry corpses, so he had a lot of feelings for it, but he was also mentally prepared for it to break its wings tonight.
Lightning was not only a strong electric current and a strong voltage, but it also had a very strong physical impact. It was probably caused by the rapid evaporation of water vapor. The drone, which was already flying at full capacity, could not withstand such an impact.
Time passed, and just as he and the elfins were about to fall asleep and start to yawn, there was suddenly a faint sound of thunder in the northwest sky.
It's coming!
He and the elfins immediately became alert, waiting for the second thunder.
Ten seconds later, the second thunder came.
He and the elfins looked at each other. Judging from their hearing, the second thunder seemed to be closer than the first, which meant that thunderclouds were floating in their direction.
He touched the silver-white metal shell of the drone reluctantly and gave it the command to take off through the remote control.
This might be its last flight.
The drone slowly took off. Because it was dragging a long wire, its balance was affected to a certain extent. It was not as light as it usually took off, and it was swaying like a person who had drunk too much.
Just as Zhang Zian was worried about whether it would hit a tree branch, its built-in program seemed to have adapted. It clumsily but firmly flew out of the forest, and then climbed up.
The thunder became denser and closer, and the entire sky in the northwest was illuminated by the flashes of lightning.
"You guys go up the tree, all of you. It's safer up the tree," he said to the elfins.
He didn't know what the consequences of this lightning experiment would be. If the lightning failed, such as the wire being blown out of position by a strong wind, and the lightning was not directed to the power grid but to the ground, it would form a concentric circle of stepping voltage with the ground as the center. At this time, if one's feet were in front of the other, the current would pass through the body.
When the lightning hit the ground, the current would be conducted to the earth, and the animals in the trees would not be affected, so it was very safe to go up the tree.
"What about you?" Famous asked.
"Don't worry about me. I'll stand on the anti-moisture mat in a while," he said.
The elfins followed his instructions and went up the tree. Even Famous jumped onto a branch, and its eyes were wide open, waiting for the thrilling scene that was about to happen.
As the drone flew higher and higher, Zhang Zian held the remote control in one hand and held the wire in the other to prevent the exposed copper core from coming into contact with the ground. Otherwise, if there was a sudden flash of lightning above his head and the wire was drawn to the ground under his feet, he would be done for.
When all the wires left on the ground were pulled up into the air, he let go and ordered the drone to hover.
He fine-tuned the drone's flying altitude and watched the exposed copper core swaying about two meters above the ground. He then let the drone slowly move in the direction of the slaughterhouse until the copper core gently rested on the power grid. The bottom of the copper core was bent into the shape of a fish hook, and it hooked onto a horizontal iron bar of the power grid.
His heart surged with an irrepressible sense of achievement, but unfortunately, there was no one around to cheer him on.
