Chapter 171 The Noisy "Giant Refrigerator" and the Electrician Who Got Electrocuted

Three days later, the old streets of Changxiang City experienced a traffic jam.

A heavy truck, which is at least 20 meters long including its trailer, struggled to move through the narrow street.

The enormous creature on the vehicle, completely covered by canvas, resembled a kidnapped whale.

The elderly people around were fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans, pointing and guessing that it was probably a super-sized cold storage unit that some restaurant had acquired.

"Left! A little more to the left! Don't bump into that telephone pole!" Zhao Dezhu (sales manager) stood by the roadside, his voice hoarse from shouting. He was now so regretful he wanted to bang his head against the wall. The road conditions in this old neighborhood were too complicated; if he bumped or damaged this precious magnet, his commission wouldn't even cover the damages.

Wang Minyu moved a chair and sat by the door, holding the stainless steel tea mug in his hands, looking as leisurely as a foreman.

"Dean Wang, we really can't get in!" Zhao Dezhu ran over, covered in sweat. "Your door is too narrow; we'll have to tear down the wall."

"No need to tear down the wall." Wang Minyu pointed to the roller shutter door that hadn't been replaced yet. "Guanshan."

"Coming right up!"

Guan Shan was shirtless, revealing his well-built muscles. He wasn't carrying any tools and walked directly to the sliding tracks on both sides of the roller shutter door.

He took a deep breath, and his muscles bulged like rocks. It was a human body, but it was practically a hydraulic press come to life.

"rise!"

With a sickening metallic tearing sound, the entire roller shutter door, frame and all, was forcibly pulled out of the wall.

Brick and stone fragments fell down in a flurry, and the surrounding crowd of onlookers let out a unified "Holy crap!"

Zhao Dezhu's chin nearly hit his foot. Is this even human?

"Alright, come in." Wang Minyu took a sip of tea. "Be careful not to damage my floor."

The equipment has finally been unloaded.

Instead of being carried into the shop, it was hoisted directly into the deep pit that had already been dug in the backyard—the entrance to the air-raid shelter.

The installation process was extremely rough.

Wang Minyu refused the manufacturer's engineers' debugging and directly let Zero take over the control system.

Under Su Qing and Pierre's drastic modifications, those complex coils and cooling pipes were connected to a bunch of strange things: an old-fashioned radio antenna, copper pipes used for boiling soup, and even a few aluminum basins used to amplify signals.

The machine started up in the evening.

"Buzz—hum—"

Instead of the usual clicking sound of an MRI machine starting up, there was a low, buzzing sound, like the flapping of bees' wings. The air in the entire backyard seemed to thicken.

The nails and nuts on the ground began to tremble restlessly, and then stuck to the walls of the air-raid shelter like bullets.

"Magnetic field strength 2.8T, frequency stable," Zero reported. "Underground mycelial network node locked."

"Very good." Wang Minyu looked at the once active green dot on the screen, which shrank instantly as if sprayed with insecticide the moment the magnetic field was activated. "This is called 'electromagnetic sterilization'."

From now on, even cockroaches won't dare to reproduce within a 500-meter radius.

However, trouble ensued.

"Whose big refrigerator is that?! It's so noisy!"

Aunt Wang, who sells funeral clothes next door, stormed in aggressively.

Holding a feather duster in her hand and with cotton stuffed in her ears, she exclaimed, "Xiao Wang! What are you doing? My TV is full of static, and even the square dance speakers are making crackling noises! My grandson's remote-controlled car just ran off by itself!"

This is indeed a problem.

While the strong magnetic field shielded the underground threats, it also severely disrupted surrounding civilian facilities.

Before Wang Minyu could explain, another person walked in through the door.

He was an electrician wearing blue overalls, carrying a tool bag, and his face looked even worse than Aunt Wang's.

"Who's responsible for this shop?" The electrician pulled out a multimeter. "The voltage in this area suddenly dropped to 180 volts just now, and the transformer almost exploded. After checking around, the source is right here. Are you stealing electricity for mining?"

Wang Minyu glanced at the electrician.

The man's forehead was flushed, and although his voice was strong, it carried a slight, almost imperceptible tremor. His left hand was unconsciously rubbing the seam of his trousers.

[System Scan: Zhang Youdian (Senior Electrician) suffers from "electromagnetic hypersensitivity phantom pain." Due to prolonged exposure to high-voltage electricity, his nervous system is in a state of high tension, and he constantly feels an electric current passing through his fingertips.]

"Master, it's a misunderstanding." Wang Minyu stepped forward and offered a cigarette. "This is new physiotherapy equipment we've acquired; the power is a bit high. But you've come at the right time. I see your hand... does it often feel numb? Especially on rainy days?"

The electrician was taken aback, and subconsciously hid his left hand behind his back: "How did you know? It's just an occupational hazard, nothing serious."

"This isn't your average occupational hazard," Wang Minyu said, switching into his persuasive mode. "It's caused by excessive static electricity buildup in the body, leading to a 'short circuit' in the meridians. Perfect timing, this big machine of mine is specifically designed to treat this. It's called the 'Quantum Magnetic Field Unblocking Instrument.' Why don't you give it a try? It's free, just consider it a voltage test for me."

The electrician was skeptical.

He had been suffering from that tingling, ant-like sensation in his fingertips for years, but the hospital couldn't find anything wrong with him.

"How...how do we treat this? Won't it electrocute someone?"

"It's absolutely safe. Just stand here and put your hands on that..." Wang Minyu pointed to a copper pillar extending from the backyard (that's the grounding electrode for the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging), "Place them on that conductive stake and hold for one minute."

The electrician hesitated for a moment, but still reached out his hand.

The instant his palm touched the bronze pillar, Wang Minyu gave Zero a command.

"Increase the magnetic field frequency and activate the 'depolarization' mode."

"Buzz—"

The underground machines suddenly accelerated their operation.

An invisible high-frequency magnetic wave traveled up the copper pillar.

The electrician was startled.

He didn't feel an electric shock; instead, he felt as if his entire arm was being massaged by countless gentle little hands.

The chaotic electrical signals accumulated in his nerve endings were surprisingly organized under the influence of the strong magnetic field. The tingling and numbness that had accompanied him for years disappeared as quickly as the tide receded.

"This..." The electrician's eyes widened as he looked at his hand. "It's not numb anymore? It's really not numb anymore?"

"Of course," Wang Minyu said with a smile. "This is called fighting poison with poison. The stray electricity in your body has been absorbed by my machine. Master, is the voltage stable now?"

The electrician stretched his wrists and felt lighter than ever before.

His gaze towards Wang Minyu instantly changed, from looking at a thief to looking at a miracle doctor: "Stable! Absolutely stable! Dr. Wang, your machine is amazing! As for the electricity bill... well, as long as the transformer doesn't burn out, I'll go back and report to the institute that this is special industry electricity, and we'll get you a dedicated line!"

Grandma Wang, standing nearby, was dumbfounded: "What about my TV?"

"Auntie, doesn't your back always hurt?" Wang Minyu turned his head. "Come sit here for half an hour tomorrow. The 'magnetic therapy waves' generated by this machine are a hundred times more effective than those infrared patches you buy. It's free."

"Really?" Aunt Wang rubbed her aching back, her anger instantly dissipating. "Oh dear, I knew Xiao Wang was a good kid. I won't complain then. A little arguing is fine, I'll just treat it as listening to...that...heavy metal music!"

Having settled things with his neighbors and the power company, Wang Minyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, you're playing with fire." Su Qing looked at the wildly spinning numbers on the electricity meter. "Although Master Zhang promised not to pursue the matter, the electricity bill is real. At this rate, no matter how much medicine we sell, it won't be enough to cover the losses."

"Don't worry." Wang Minyu glanced at the buzzing machine in the backyard, a sly glint in his eyes. "Soon someone will come to pay for us. And it will be a big spender who comes knocking on our door."

Just now, Zero detected an unusual signal fluctuation.

It didn't come from underground, but from that abandoned tenement building across the street.

Someone is using a high-powered telescope to stare at the newly installed "giant refrigerator".
