In Yuzicheng, a car bumped along the dirt road and drove towards the mountains. Gao Zhouzhi, Luo Shao, Ye Jiazhen, Yang Yuling and others were sitting in the car.
Gao Zhouzhi said: "This time we ran to the mountains."
Ye Jiazhen said: "A large electrolytic cell was originally built here."
An electrolytic cell is a device composed of an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte solution. The anode is the positive pole and the cathode is the negative pole. An electrolyte solution is usually an ionic compound such as a salt or acid. When an external power source is connected to the two electrodes of an electrolytic cell, ions in the electrolyte solution move under the influence of an electric field. The positive electrode (anode) attracts anions, and the negative electrode (cathode) attracts cations. At the anode, an oxidation reaction occurs, in which anions lose electrons and form oxygen or other oxides. At the cathode, a reduction reaction occurs, in which the cations gain electrons to form metal or other reducing species. These reactions cause changes in the concentration of ions in the electrolyte solution, thereby producing an electric current. The magnitude of the current depends on the ion concentration in the electrolyte solution and the potential difference of the electrolytic cell. Electrolytic cells play an important role in many industrial and laboratory applications, such as electroplating, electrolytic hydrogen production, electrolytic oxygen production, etc.
Gao Zhouzhi said: "What? Near here?"
Ye Jiazhen said: "Yes, a certain electrician."
Yang Yuling said: "Did he really do it?"
Ye Jiazhen said: "The principle is not complicated, but it requires a lot of electrical energy."
Yang Yuling said: "Where does this electric energy come from?"
Ye Jiazhen said: "A large energy gathering field is a large power source."
Luo Shao said: "That is a very special energy field. I don't know what the principle is."
Ye Jiazhen said: "I guess the inside is made of energy elements."
Yin Fanxiao said: "Later, the project was stopped because it was too dangerous."
Luo Shao said: "Yes. I heard that there are no high-voltage protection devices."
Ordinary large-scale electrolytic cells are equipment used in industrial production. They are mainly used for electrochemical reactions and electrolysis processes. The main feature of these devices is their huge volume, which usually consists of several to dozens of electrolysis chambers, each of which may vary in size from a few cubic meters to dozens of cubic meters. It is generally used in large-scale electrolysis processes, such as in industrial processes such as electrolytic copper smelting or electrolytic manufacturing of aluminum. In these processes, large electrolytic cells are used to reduce a metal from its compound or to create a new compound.
After several hours of bumpy terrain, we reached a flat land. Yejiazhen said: "We are almost there, there is an abandoned factory in front of us."
Go to the place, the office building, ask Master Qiao for the key, and open the factory door.
Qiao Zhi saw them and said, "Mr. Ye, why are you here? This place hasn't been used for a long time."
Ye Jiazhen said: "I came to see an electrolytic cell inside."
Qiao Zhi said: "Oh. That's it. It turns out there was one. It was said that it used too much electricity and was unsafe, so it was closed. Then it was no longer used here."
Ye Jiazhen said: "Can you take us to see this electrolytic cell?"
Qiao Zhi said: "Okay."
In the abandoned factory, there are some cranes and processing machine tools. It had not been used for many years and had accumulated a layer of dust. Walking further inside, there is a pool below, 60 square meters, like a swimming pool, but very deep. There is no liquid in the pool anymore. There are many electrodes densely packed on the wall of the pool.
Yang Yuling said: "How can this thing create a building?"
Qiao Zhi said: "You haven't seen it before, you can only rely on your imagination. Let me introduce it."
An electrolytic cell requires two electrolytic electrodes and an electrolyte in between. The two terminals of discharge, one is oxidizing, the other is reducing, one is to gain electrons, and the other is to lose electrons. On the one hand, electrons move from the external power supply, and on the other hand, they move in the electrolyte. The direction opposite to the electrons is the direction of the current.
A lot of building materials are put into this electrolytic cell. The building materials can be regarded as some large electrons, and they will also move towards the electrodes under the attraction of the electrodes.
There is more than one electrode in the electrolytic cell, which is like many magnets, attracting these metals to its vicinity.
The gaps between the building bodies are relatively large, so if electrodes are needed, the density of electrodes will be very high.
If the electrodes are not all laid out, there will be large gaps between the electrodes. Then the building wall that may be generated will also have large gaps.
There are some gaps between the electrodes, and part of the building wall has been prepared in advance, not fine particles.
At the beginning, the building body was built in the electrolytic cell, so the volume of the building body was limited by the electrolytic cell. In order for the building body to be in the pool, the volume of the building must be smaller than the volume of the pool. After the upgrade, the electrolytic cell can be moved up and down. The height of buildings that can theoretically be built increases.
Yang Yuling said: "It's so creative."
Gao Zhouzhi said: "But it doesn't seem to have much effect. The same electricity can drive many robots to work."
"And it consumes a lot of electricity, so I stopped."
Ye Jiazhen said: "This time we mainly want to ask, where is the big power supply?"
"That big power supply..."
Everyone was staring at Joe's lips, waiting for him to say somewhere here and be able to look.
"When it was decommissioned, it was moved."
Yejiazhen said: "Where have you moved?"
Luo Shao said: "Didn't they move to Yuzicheng City?"
Yang Yuling said: "Then what is it used for?"
"Then it will be moved to Shengshi City. It will be used for the construction of the new city."
Yang Yuling said: "Do you know where this large power supply was moved from?"
"The electrician discovered it from the back mountain. Then it was used as the power source for the electrolytic cell."
Yang Yuling said: "Judging from previous news, one energy gathering field appeared in the desert and one in Yuzicheng, and they may have been transported to other places later."
Luo Shao said: "Yes, I heard that too. There may be only one energy gathering field, from the desert to Yuzicheng. Or there may be several."
Yang Yuling said: "Is this energy gathering field important? It's hard to see its true appearance."
Ye Jiazhen said: "I heard that it is an energy field that converts wind energy, water energy, solar energy, electrical energy, biological energy, and atomic energy into each other. It is like an ecological circle that can provide huge energy."
According to the forerunners' assumptions, the energy provided by this energy field is enough to protect the human race.
Luo Shao said: "Then I didn't see it this time."
Yang Yuling said: "The key is that we didn't see the energy gathering field."
Ye Jiazhen said: "We won't be able to see that thing easily. It is probably hidden more secretly."
