Chapter 345 The Strongest Electric Rat in History
"How about we steal...borrow some electricity from somewhere?" Chen Jue stared at the high-voltage wires above his head and had a bold idea in his mind.
Can it be called stealing if it's something that a martial artist does?
At most, I can borrow it!
Moreover, we cannot borrow from domestic sources. Electricity consumption is so tight right now, and there are power rationing and power shortages everywhere.
Chen Jue's body is like a bottomless pit. It can absorb as much electricity as possible, but it cannot add burden to those high-load domestic power plants.
"It's hard to borrow money in China, so I'd better go abroad."
"I'm free anyway, so it won't take much trouble to go out for a walk."
"After the battery is fully charged and the remaining minor problems are solved, I will go back to my second home to find my little sister." Chen Jue planned in his mind.
…
After entering the house and tidying up, Chen Jue searched the Internet to find out which are the largest power stations in the world.
It would be fine if I didn’t search for it, but once I did I felt so proud!
Among the top 20 power plants in terms of power generation, 8 are owned by flower growers, and the closest ones are the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant in Japan and the Kori Nuclear Power Plant in South Korea.
However, Japan's Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant has been shut down after the Fukushima leak a few years ago.
Chen Jue didn't want to go too far and cross the Pacific Ocean to visit Eagle Country again, so he made a simple decision and set his sights on the Guli Nuclear Power Plant.
In Chen Jue's opinion, he was just going out to borrow electricity, so it didn't matter who he borrowed from, and he might as well choose a closer one for the convenience of going back and forth.
Besides, South Korea is a master at borrowing. In recent years, it has shamelessly "borrowed" a lot of traditional culture from flower-growing countries and applied for intangible cultural heritage without even changing the name.
In comparison, the voltage that Chen Jue borrowed in the past was nothing.
…
I locked the door and went to the next village to have breakfast.
What he ordered when he entered the store was still glutinous rice. People in Vancouver love it, especially since Chen Jue had been away from Earth for more than half a year, so he was sure to eat enough when he came back.
However, since Chen Jue had a big appetite, in addition to glutinous rice, he also ordered a bowl of sweet and salty tofu pudding, just to try them.
Thinking of the online debate on the taste of sweet and salty tofu pudding, Chen Jue felt that those netizens were just too idle!
We are adults now, so why make a choice? Just have a bowl of each flavor, wouldn’t the problem be solved?
Of course, even though Chen Jue has broken through to the Void Level and can truly fasting, he can still live for a hundred or eighty years relying solely on the "plasma" energy in his body.
But he didn't want to break away from his original lifestyle.
When the time came, he also wanted to eat and try some delicious food to avoid having a dull taste in his mouth.
In Chen Jue's view, the meaning of spiritual practice is to transcend the other side, achieve true freedom, and break the limitations and destiny of the human body.
Now that he has initially achieved transcendence and entered the void level, food is just a small thought among his many physical desires.
If even this thought is cut off, how can one continue to practice in the future? Wouldn't it be better to become a stone?
…
After breakfast, I jogged to the Yunjiang River in the town.
After sensing the nearby sight and making sure there were no outsiders or electronic eyes monitoring him, Chen Jue stretched and dived into the river.
However, before entering the surface of the Yunjiang River, the short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and flip-flops on Chen Jue's body suddenly squirmed and twisted into a fully enclosed combat suit that wrapped around him.
After trying several times, Chen Jue began to become more adept at this method of changing the original form of matter.
He even embedded the smart watch he got from the base into this closed combat suit so that he could guide himself on the way forward and avoid getting lost while swimming in the sea.
He swam all the way from Yunjiang to the East China Sea, then turned around and headed quickly towards the northeast.
In order to avoid detection by various radars, Chen Jue adopted a low-altitude flying posture close to the water surface, drawing an extremely shallow jet trajectory at an ultra-low position of 1 meter above the sea surface.
When he encounters a ship, he will immediately sink into the water to avoid sight.
Since he was not in a hurry and had a calm mind, Chen Jue did not use all his strength to hurry on his way.
The journey from Anxian all the way to Gijang County, Busan, South Korea, was more than 1,100 kilometers, and it took him almost 40 minutes to fly and travel.
After finding an uninhabited beach and jumping onto it, Chen Jue transformed the clothes on his body as he walked, and at the same time, he quickly learned the characters and language of South Korea projected on his watch.
After taking a look at the pronunciation habits of South Koreans in the video and observing their oral pronunciation movements and imitating them a few times, Chen Jue solved even the most troublesome accent.
By the time he reached a crowded commercial district, he had already mastered a new foreign language without even noticing.
From now on, as long as Chen Jue speaks the Korean language, I guarantee that even the locals will not be able to find any fault with it!
…
I strolled around the commercial district. In recent years, South Korea has vigorously developed the tourism industry, and tourist maps marked with Chinese characters can be seen everywhere.
Although the Kori Nuclear Power Plant is not a popular tourist attraction, it is located on the coast of Busan, next to several nice beaches, and is marked on the tourist map.
"It's not far from this place, about ten kilometers, so we can just take a walk there." Chen Jue took the tourist map and tore off some raw materials from his clothes while walking. He rubbed them out in his palms to make a brand new plastic and metal glasses frame.
When he reached a beach, he touched some sand and melted two black lenses without prescription in his palm and then embedded them into the frame.
Chen Jue's flip-flops clattered on the ground, he was holding a tourist map in his hand and wearing sunglasses. Now he was dressed like a tourist and was inconspicuous in the crowd.
It took more than ten minutes to walk to the destination. What caught my eye was a large blue and white nuclear power plant built next to the sea, with a striking English sign "Kori" on it.
Four tall nuclear reactors stand within the plant, covered with a layer of brown cement protection.
Chen Jue lowered his head and took another look at the detailed information of the nuclear power plant on the virtual projection, and found that its earliest No. 1 reactor was completed in 1987, and it had been in service for more than 30 years and had been completely shut down at this time.
Fortunately, the other three reactors that were built later can still operate normally, and their stable annual power generation can reach more than 43 billion kWh.
"About 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity can be delivered every day."
"But the number of lines is wrong. They should not be all the lines in the power plant." Chen Jue was observing the internal and external layout of the nuclear power plant from a distance with his super eyesight.
The cables installed above the tower are not numerous, and are obviously only part of the power transmission lines. Another part of the power transmission cables are buried directly in underground pipelines, which can prevent moisture and fire.
Fortunately, Chen Jue is now very sensitive to electric current. After walking along the road next to the nuclear power plant, he felt a huge amount of electric current being transmitted outward from under his feet.
Following the direction of the current, Chen Jue walked all the way to a low mountain less than 2 kilometers away from the Guli Nuclear Power Plant.
There are continuous low hills with lush trees and overgrown weeds. There are electric towers on the top and wire fences around the outside.
There is a striking black and yellow circle nuclear symbol on the barrier , as well as a warning sign saying "No Entry" written in Korean.
With a light tiptoe, Chen Jue climbed over the net without any hesitation and climbed all the way to the halfway point of the mountain following the direction of the current.
After releasing the sensing and making sure that there were no nuclear power plant workers nearby, Chen Jue raised his hand and clenched it. The red-gold energy mixed with electric arcs formed a giant energy claw on his hand. After a few digs, a thick concrete pipe was completely exposed from the mountain.
“Found it!”
"It should be for the convenience of maintenance. The pipeline is not buried deep at all." Chen Jue showed joy on his face and tore open the outer shell of the cement pipe with one hand. Inside was a thick insulating, moisture-proof and heat-insulating layer.
After tearing off these protective layers, dozens of thick black cables appeared in front of Chen Jue.
Compared with traditional high-voltage lines, the transmission cables of this nuclear power plant are much thicker because they have to withstand higher-power currents. The materials used are also very good, which is not comparable to the thin wires I pulled at home last night.
There was no cover halfway up the mountain, and electricity was being absorbed so blatantly here that Chen Jue was worried that his practice would be interrupted.
So after thinking for a while, he dug a hole along the side of the pipeline to bypass the pipeline.
He used rock soil to cover the broken hole in the pipe, and then laid a layer of leaves and weeds on it for cover, then Chen Jue crawled into the cave.
Chen Jue had dug a lot of holes in his second home, so he was very familiar with this little job.
After entering the cave, a cement pipe had appeared above Chen Jue's head.
The pipe was broken open again, revealing the cables inside. Chen Jue did not cut them off directly, but used the means of reshaping the material shape to separate some of the lines from their thick cables.
Doing so will not destroy the original power transmission capacity of the cable, and can also help Chen Jue delay for a period of time, so as to avoid being discovered too early and not being able to "borrow" too much electricity.
"Let's get started!"
Chen Jue calmly wrapped the two thigh-thick cables around his hands, and soon an astonishing amount of electricity began to flow into his body.
At this moment, there was a crackling sound outside his body. That was the sound of electric arcs jumping!
Fortunately, Chen Jue's body was extremely terrifying. After coming into contact with these electric arcs, he absorbed them all without leaving a trace. A large amount of electric energy began to flow into the space that was originally more than 98% vacant, and then was converted into "plasma" form bit by bit.
“So cool!”
"Compared to household electricity, this efficiency is like replacing a toothpick with a water tank! It's incredible!" Chen Jue was delighted. A large amount of electric current poured into his body, making him excited.
According to Chen Jue's physical sensation, compared to the 36,000 kWh of electricity absorbed last night, after connecting to the line of the Guli Nuclear Power Plant, now at least more than 800 kWh of electricity is flowing into his body every second!
If calculated based on the Korean country's electricity price of 0.70 yuan per kilowatt-hour, Chen Jue can now steal at least... no, borrow 560 yuan of electricity every second!
After 24 hours, the electricity bill is almost 50 million!
It's like catching a fat sheep and pulling it to death!
The most important thing is that Chen Jue had no intention of paying it back after borrowing the electricity. It was definitely a business that was sure to make a profit.
However, although Chen Jue felt happy by borrowing (stealing) electricity in this way, the South Korean country was not happy.
Just think about it!
The total power generation of the Guli Nuclear Power Plant is only over 100 million kWh a day, which translates to over 1,200 kWh of electricity per second.
This time, Chen Jue borrowed two-thirds of the power, and the original recipient of the power supply inexplicably lost a large amount of the power it should have.
Without such a large amount of electricity, daily household and industrial electricity consumption will be affected.
So, after Chen Jue had been hiding in the cave and happily touching the electrical wires for a few hours, a large-scale power supply anomaly occurred in Busan, the nearest country in South Korea.
There were power outages everywhere, and the entire city's power supply system was semi-paralyzed without any warning!
