Chapter 663: Chapter 271: Drawing Mutated Sunflowers Again_2
Liang Yuan’s thoughts were spinning. These mutant birds and beasts made him intensely curious about the world above the clouds.
But with his current strength, it seemed he was still unable to break through the clouds and see the cloud tops.
He just didn’t know if the military had made any discoveries.
Liang Yuan always felt that the military, if still operational, should have some way to explore the depths of the clouds.
Unless there were even greater dangers within the clouds obstructing them!
"Brother Liang, is this stuff easy to get hold of? Maybe we could use it for welding, to make electric wires, and achieve electricity for every household."
Dong Jie interrupted Liang Yuan’s musings, speaking excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan smiled and said, "This material conducts electricity very well, but without insulation, won’t it easily leak electricity?"
Dong Jie scratched his head, thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I thought of a way. We can coat these feathers with a layer of sea cucumber gel, so their surface becomes insulated."
"I’ve tested it before. Household 220v voltage can’t conduct electricity through sea cucumber gel, so there’s no risk of leakage."
Liang Yuan laughed, "I didn’t expect you to have researched this specifically. Go back and test it. If it works, I’ll figure out a way to get more."
"Sure, I’ll try it right away. These feathers can be used for making wires, and maybe for replacing some broken electronic devices." Dong Jie said excitedly.
Liang Yuan laughed again. In the shelter, everyone was doing their best.
Although Xiaodongjie’s electrical generating ability wasn’t used in combat, he creatively applied it to electrical appliances, which was also a good direction.
Besides, it seemed to be something he was interested in.
Interest is the best teacher.
After chatting for a few more moments, Liang Yuan had Dong Jie take the feather back.
"Next time the sea tide comes, we can catch a few more mutant birds."
He estimated that with his current strength, killing that group of birds shouldn’t be a problem.
After sending Dong Jie away, Dong Yan went to the shopping center to help out.
There were many tasks in the shelter, and basically no one was idle.
In the spacious room, Liang Yuan was left alone for a while.
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Liang Yuan thought about the future development of the shelter.
Soon, he saw Song Wen rushing home, looking a bit anxious.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan asked with concern, "Wenwen, what’s wrong, why are you in such a hurry?"
Song Wen said urgently, "Granny Li suddenly fainted. I went to find Dr. Yang, but it seems he went out with Tang Ying to look for some herbs."
Hearing this, Liang Yuan’s expression became serious and he quickly asked, "How did she faint? Is she conscious?"
"Yes, I noticed this morning that Granny Li didn’t look well and kept sneezing. She probably caught a cold."
"The temperature dropped these past few days. She might not have kept warm and got soaked by the rain."
"Let’s not talk about it. I’ll go look for some cold medicine."
Hearing this, Liang Yuan’s expression darkened. The cold wave seemed to be coming faster.
"Don’t bother looking for it. I have some here. Let’s go check on her together."
Without delay, Liang Yuan and Song Wen quickly went to the plantation.
The entire plantation was covered with plastic greenhouses, keeping the temperature relatively high.
Song Wen’s mutated sunflower was in the center, illuminating the entire greenhouse.
The greenhouse was lush with various vegetables, though the smell of manure was hard to bear.
Many elderly men and women were there, wearing scarves and covering their noses and mouths, weeding and catching insects in the fields.
In the distance, there was a bamboo house, the staff dormitory of the plantation, where Granny Li was lying in one of the rooms.
Upon entering, they saw Old Ma sitting anxiously by Granny Li’s side, holding her hand and continuously calling ’Old Li.’
Seeing this, Liang Yuan asked, "Old Ma, how is Granny Li?"
Ma Guocai, with red-rimmed eyes, said, "She could talk before, but now she’s fallen into a deep sleep, and I can’t wake her."
Song Wen quickly said, "Let me take a look."
Ma Guocai immediately stepped aside to let Song Wen through.
Song Wen touched Granny Li’s forehead, and a green light blossomed from her fingertips, slowly penetrating Granny Li’s temples.
Granny Li’s pale face became visibly flushed, and her breathing seemed to stabilize considerably.
Touching Granny Li’s forehead again, Song Wen said worriedly, "She’s still feverish. Let me give her some antipyretic first."
Liang Yuan handed a box of antipyretics to Song Wen. After crushing the medicine, Song Wen fed it to Granny Li.
Granny Li fell into a deep sleep, seeming to be much better.
Liang Yuan looked at Ma Guocai and asked, "Old Ma, how did Granny Li catch a cold? Did she get drenched?"
Ma Guocai shook his head, "No, she has diabetes and a weak constitution. She’s very careful to keep warm. When she goes out, she not only carries an umbrella but also wears a raincoat."
"Then how did she catch a cold?" Liang Yuan asked.
Ma Guocai sighed, "The weather’s getting cold. Your Granny Li has diabetes, her immune system is always weak, and she has to watch her diet. She doesn’t eat well."
"With this constant rain, the air is very humid, and the house is damp. It’s no wonder she caught a cold."
Liang Yuan frowned, "Your house is damp?"
"Yes, those stone walls definitely get damp. It’s my fault. I kept saying I’d reno the place and put up some wooden panels but never got around to it," Old Ma said regretfully.
Liang Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Do people living in the wooden and bamboo houses have this problem too?"
