PS: Bow and thank John Zhuang for three consecutive days of Marriott rewards, as well as the gifts of the Demon Little Knight, Zhang Weihua, JoyCF and other brothers, as well as Brother Zhuang's monthly pass support!

At noon, the old village chief turned on the loudspeaker and sent a verbal notice to the people in the village, so that everyone was mentally prepared that there would be a power outage tomorrow, and the specific time was from 8 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the evening.

Subsequently, the old village chief also posted the document notices sent by the town on the propaganda corridor. After reading it, everyone was relieved. It turned out that with the development of Chujiazhai, electricity consumption increased dramatically. Originally, there was no substation in the village, and the only substation was in Xiangzhu Village, which was the electricity center of seven or eight nearby villages.

Substation, a place to change the voltage. In order to transmit the electric energy generated by the power plant to a distant place, the voltage must be raised and turned into high-voltage electricity, and the voltage must be reduced as needed near the user, and the work of raising and lowering the voltage depends on the substation. The main equipment of the substation is the switch and transformer. According to the size of the scale, it is called a substation, a distribution room, etc.

The transformer power station is designed according to the electricity consumption of each village, although space has been reserved. But now the situation is very serious, almost overloaded. Yesterday, the manager of the power station in Xiangzhu Village hastened to inform the town government that the transformer power station was about to be overwhelmed.

When the government people heard this, they were also a little nervous. You know, the economic center of the town is now in that area, and if something goes wrong, it will be very serious. They immediately sent someone down to investigate, and found that the situation was true. There was an overload, and it was only on this day that it appeared.

Knowing this situation, it is urgent to replace and expand the transformer power station, and when Li Quan's milk source base is established and the revival of Chinese medicine is officially completed and opened, it will definitely not be able to bear it.

The leaders of the town government immediately held a meeting to discuss and arrange various matters. This matter is also directly in Jingdong City, and the city leaders directly transport the materials down first, so that the people here can operate first. The relevant formalities will be completed later.

Today, the materials that need to be replaced have been transported to Xiangzhu Village, and they are waiting for the power to be turned off tomorrow to be replaced. Then notify the most important Chujiazhai, so that everyone has a psychological preparation.

"That substation is also a long time old. If you can, change it! It's not safe to do otherwise. Chu Jiaqiang said.

He had seen that substation not once or twice. When he was very young, that substation existed, to say the least, for more than twenty years, right? Such an old thing, no matter how good the quality was before. I can't help the sun and rain for so many years! Coupled with the design at that time, it is completely unable to keep up with the current rhythm.

How much has changed in 20 years, it is best to ask the elderly, they feel the deepest. From the very beginning, there was no electricity in the village. Everyone uses oil lamps, and now all kinds of lighting and household appliances have changed dramatically.

The first person in the village to have a TV set was not Chu Jiaqiang's family, nor the old village chief's house, but another villager. At that time, they carried all the small hydroelectric generators back. That kind of small generator generated a small amount of electricity, and it was no problem to supply two or three families at that time, but it was not good if there were too many.

Then. Whoever gets married, does big things, etc., all uses electricity from his house. Later, the electricity consumption increased, and even his own home could not be supplied. In addition, the village had already received wires, and the small generator was retired.

"It's supposed to be replaced, two years ago, I saw some screws and so on. It's going to rust. We didn't develop here before, and management in this area was naturally lax. It is not well maintained, mainly because of the lack of manpower! The old village chief sighed.

Unconsciously, Chujiazhai has changed a lot of things. This problem is illustrated by the overload of the substation.

As for the substation, it has always been guarded by a worker who collects electricity bills. Usually, after collecting the electricity bill, he will check the electricity problems in several villages from time to time. For example, in some places where you need to connect wires, etc., there will be him, and he can be regarded as an obscure person who is immersed in work.

"Two years ago, it was struck by lightning and caused a widespread power outage, and although there was no damage and it was quickly restored, it was never enough to protect it." The second uncle also said.

Chu Jiaqiang also knew that there was a thunderbolt next to him, but it was not necessarily safe.

Generally speaking, substations are equipped with lightning protection equipment, mainly lightning rods and lightning arresters. The lightning rod is designed to prevent the substation from being struck by direct lightning, discharging the lightning to itself and introducing the lightning current to the earth. When lightning falls on a line near a substation, lightning waves will enter the substation along the wire, generating an overvoltage. In addition, circuit breaker operation can also cause overvoltage.

The function of the arrester is that when the overvoltage exceeds a certain limit, the automatic discharge to the ground reduces the voltage protection equipment and quickly automatically extinguishes the arc after discharge, so as to ensure the normal operation of the system.

For this kind of thing, everyone understands that safety is the most important thing, and a power outage for a day is not a big deal. However, tonight, everyone will have to fully charge their mobile phones, cameras, etc.

In the past, when Chu Jiaqiang was studying, many classmates liked power outages. As soon as the power goes out, everyone doesn't have to go to night to self-study, and they can play at night.

"It's better to have a power outage during the day, but we mainly use electricity at night." Some villagers laughed.

During the day, except for being bored, I turn on the TV to watch, and I almost don't use electricity. At night, if there is no electricity, it will be much more troublesome, and it is very inconvenient to light candles or oil lamps for a meal. Rural people are not as romantic as urban people, and they may like to light candles at night, but rural people hate it the most.

In fact, the power outage notice does not have much impact on everyone. The big impact is on those enterprises, such as mineral water factories and so on. In addition, there is also the research institute, and their normal work tomorrow will not be carried out.

"It's alright! The most they have here is a power outage, and there will be absolutely no water outage. In our cities, the absence of water is the most hateful. I can't talk about cooking can't be done, and even taking a normal bath and going to the toilet is embarrassing. Some tourists laughed. In addition, the quality of water in the city is not good, the tap water is not drinkable, everyone drinks bottled water.

Hearing this, everyone laughed too. If the water is cut off in the countryside, the joke will be bigger. In these places, there is no shortage of water. In some rural areas in the north, there may still be this worry, and in the south, especially in places like Chujiazhai, there is absolutely no need to worry about this problem.

I didn't see that these villagers were also picky about the water, don't want a bad spring, don't want it too far, and pick up a water, it's all a thousand choices. Therefore, the water here is the best they have ever seen, and the spring water is slightly sweet.

"Okay, it's good that everyone is mentally prepared, if you need electricity, hurry up and use it tonight." The old village chief said to everyone.
