When Wang Lanling rode a horse to inspect the county seat, he met Gong Yueman, and the two rode together in this ancient city with a serious atmosphere.

There are also a lot of pedestrians on both sides, because Wang Lanling and Gong Yueman are wearing official uniforms, plus a group of officials open the way, many people are standing on both sides of the street and looking at this curiously.

The clothes of these city people are close to gray and dark, the kind of padded jackets that have been worn for a long time.

It's late autumn now, these monotonous clothes and those with rough skin, red blood, red sores, and markings on their faces, there are only a few people in this world who have good facial features, and people with clean faces are basically concentrated in the upper class.

In terms of appearance, the people of Tongzhou in Longzhou are beautiful, and the people of Muzhou in Shanzhou are ugly.

"There's no habit of drinking hot water here." Wang Lanling felt that there were too many things to do in this place.

Gong Yueman said: "It's okay in winter, but it's basically cold water from the well in summer. ”

Wang Lanling glanced at the faces of people on the street, whose skin was chapped or too oily, and except for some children, their skin was basically not healthy.

The children's faces and hands were gray as if they hadn't been washed in a month.

If Elena is here, she can't tell that she is of an alien race.

Wang Lanling looked ahead, "Let's build three places first, a hot water station, a bathhouse, and a public toilet." ”

Gong Yueman knew very well what was needed to improve the medical level, and agreed: "This is a matter of the Construction Division, and the current director of the Construction Department does not have the ability to carry out this kind of work, so I recommend Gao Wangshan as the director of the Construction Department and Iron and Gold as the Director of the Craftsman Department." ”

"Hamma." Because Gong Yueman used the local dialect of Heishui County, Wang Lanling also replied in the local dialect.

After agreeing, Wang Lanling continued to say in the local dialect: "Let's wait for someone to arrive first." ”

"Yes." "I'm going to use a generator in the city to provide energy for the hot water room and the public bath. ”

Wang Lanling thought for a moment and said: "It's too wasteful, there is not much electricity generated, if you use electricity to boil water, it is better to boil water with coal, I can find a way to get some coal mines." ”

Gong Yueman said: "The matter of electricity is not wasted, adults can definitely get things, but you can't bother adults with everything." ”

Wang Lanling nodded and said: "If you encounter something, tell me, the situation here is beyond my expectations, and I have to replan many things." ”

Gong Yueman looked at the large number of low-rise houses at the end of the main road ahead, this city is indeed inferior to Heishui County in all aspects.

Heishui County is not as good as Yunshui County, Yunshui County is not as good as Yunzhou Mansion, Yunzhou Mansion is not as good as Tongzhou Mansion, and Tongzhou Mansion is not as good as Longcheng in all aspects.

It is a comparison whether it is backward or not.

Gong Yueman said: "I have prepared the power cylinder and the pedal board, and after the lines are laid, I will hire the people in the city to generate electricity in the power plant." ”

Wang Lanling knows this matter, there are many rollers similar to road rollers in Heishui County, but they are very light, and there are many threads on them to increase friction, so that people standing on them can step on this and rotate.

Just like a hamster generates electricity, Gong Yuewan does not use hydro and wind power, but uses manpower.

The least valuable thing in Heishui County is manpower, because of food and land problems, the unlimited growth of the population has brought many problems.

These people are collectively referred to as low-end labor, and their role is to use their strength on the right path, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble when they are idle.

In this era, being able to get a salary through hard work is really a very happy thing for people at the bottom.

Pedal power generation is another supplement, because people can't run for hours in a row, always have to come down to rest, in order to prevent the transmission of electricity from being cut off, it needs two or three lines to assist.

Steam equipment is still the mainstream of this era, so the heat from generating electricity is to boil water and then drive steam equipment.

Because boiling water can be used to continuously gase, the loss of steam equipment and the loss of power equipment, at present, the maintenance of steam equipment is smaller.

The metal wires needed for electrical equipment are not something that can be made by a random blacksmith.

Wang Lanling is well aware of the limitations of electricity, which is currently subject to hardware factors and cannot get up for the time being.

However, electricity can consume a lot of manpower, and only a few people in Wang Lanling and Heishui County know about providing a large number of labor with an opportunity to work.

If you want to settle the labor force, the first thing is to provide a large amount of money to complete the initial construction of power lines, this kind of thing that costs money, no one except Wang Lanling has done it, and naturally you will not think about it this way.

"I still want coal." Wang Lanling said: "When I was studying in Tongzhou, I went to a military factory for a few days for an internship, and the large steam equipment in the gun factory there roared incessantly, driving many things such as grinding machines, pipe benders, and cutting machines that can polish metal. ”

Wang Lanling felt that even if it was built for a hundred years, it would not be able to compare to that side, and it was really a huge gap in strength.

The low efficiency of steam equipment was Wang Lanling's previous opinion.

After really entering a large equipment factory, you can understand the characteristics of this era.

It's not that it's inefficient, it's just that steam equipment in another world hasn't developed to the limit.

If it is not just hot water that is boiled, but concentrated chemical elements, the effect is different.

Backward? People have built hair dryers decades ago, and the use effect is no different from that of electric hair dryers.

Washing machines, fans, gas stoves, gas lamps......

Wang Lanling felt that the reason why there was no air conditioning was mainly because those officials in Longzhou had not been killed by heat, which was the biggest reason.

Through the height and space of the building, as well as the exothermic and heat-absorbing use of water vapor and water, coupled with the fact that Longzhou itself is not very hot, the general demand for air conditioning technology is not pointed out.

If one day the emperor is provoked and can't stand it, and scolds people irritablely, it is estimated that steam air conditioning will come into being.

Big, real steam equipment is very, very big things, and this era is going specifically to this road, and there are many things that Wang Lanling can't understand.

In fact, there is not much need to invent electricity, it is just Wang Lanling's wishful thinking and stubbornness that he can't believe in gas canisters and chemical gas lighting equipment.

In addition, electricity can consume labor, and Gong Yueman's power generation plan was designed to solve the excessive labor force in Heishui County.

It's not about efficient power generation, it's just a chance to work for those who have enough to eat and have nothing to do, and for those whose families can't have enough to eat.

In Heishui County, more than 1,000 people stand there in unison every morning, in slow motion with their left hand and right hand, and push back with their front and back feet.

Technology on both sides is developing in a strange direction......
