70 Electricity

The Moon River is the largest river on Mornington Island, and near the Red House, the river runs from north to south, and after a small bend, the water suddenly opens up, and then along the foot of the hill around the west side of the building, it goes straight south, and less than a few kilometers away is the estuary.

There, the sediment brought by the river washes over the ground, creating a small fan-shaped alluvial plain, presumably due to the erosion of saline tidal waves, where the vegetation is thinner than inland.

However, the mangrove forests on both sides of the river are dense, and behind the mangroves is a gentle sandy area and meadows that stretch to the foot of the hillside where the Red House is located.

Looking west, Mornington Island is separated from the unnamed island across a narrow strait, which lies in the distance, and the naked eye can see that in the middle of the nameless island there is a small swampy wetland, surrounded by a flat savanna.

The sea is surrounded by turquoise sea, and under the blue sea and blue sky, Mornington Island's twisted coastline, white sand beaches, several small rivers flowing into the sea, and mangrove forests along the shore can be seen.

"It's really the best place to observe the surroundings."

"The terrain of this island is very flat, and you can't see any rough places."

"Yes, savanna and low bushes, so it seems that the natives who live by gathering do not look down on this barren land......"

"However, it is suitable for farming and construction, and road transportation facilities are relatively easy to build."

"In the future, it is possible to build a railway from the dock to get here, and then extend to the eastern part of the island."

"There is a river in the north, and the large white sand beach at the mouth of the sea is so beautiful......"

"According to the geological data, the silicate ores there are well suited for melting glass......"

"In that case, the railroad will have to be built north......"

"Well, I was thinking, if we have a bonfire on the beach by the sea, I don't know what the beautiful scenery of the white sand beach under the stars at night is......"

"This is a real room with a sea view......

At this time, some excited people spontaneously divided into several groups, each making different comments.

However, not everyone is attracted by the view from the rooftop, and on the north side of the Red Building, two guys are ignoring the mainstream attention of everyone and are observing something in the riverbed near the downstairs.

From time to time, the two leaned over the railing and looked down, then glanced back at a stainless steel water tank in the northwest corner of the roof.

"Brother Kang, you are better at water and electricity than me, you look at the diversion canal downstairs, and the flood dam on the canal, it turns out that the power supply of this building comes from here...... Brother Kang, what do you think of this design? ”

"Brother Wang, don't be humble, isn't water, electricity, and thermal power all the same thing......"

"To be honest, I'm not humble, I'm indeed a little stranger, this kind of micro hydropower, to be honest, I've never done it."

"Well, I've never done anything like this, but I've seen a miniature power station in a ravine, and I was a trainee dispatcher at a hydropower station when I was in college.

In any case, from the point of view of design and layout, it is indeed quite reasonable and professional, after all, they are technicians who have traveled over 60,000 years later. ”

The two people who talked alone in the corner were Wang Zhanwu and Kangda, they were colleagues in the same large energy company, one of them was engaged in thermal power and the other was engaged in hydropower, of course, they were not big experts, because they had just graduated from college for two and a half years, and they were only small roles in such a large company.

The two came from different universities and worked in two departments that couldn't hit the pole, but they happened to meet on a business trip and got on the same coach.

Then, the car fell off the cliff into the rushing river, and the two hung up. In the rescue and salvage operation after the accident, the rescue team was at a loss for a while in the face of the turbulent river and the 100-meter-deep cliff bank, and in the end the two of them did not even find the body.

However, this was not a problem for Nicole at all, and the two were soon found by Nicole in a backwater bay more than ten kilometers downstream.

Nicole told the two of them after waking up that the two of you were lucky, because she quietly arrived at the scene after seeing the timely report of the media, fortunately Nicole was very timely, if it was an hour or two late that day, even she could not do anything, because two hours later, a once-in-a-century flood peak struck, and all traces of the accident there were wiped out.

So Kang Wang and Wang discussed the micro hydropower station downstairs for a while, and after saying this, they began to pay attention to the other supporting facilities of the building, especially the water system, because they found the pumping pipe that extended from the micro vortex hydropower station and connected along the building wall.

"Brother Kang, if there is a water tank, there should be a pumping device, do you see it?"

Wang Zhanwu looked up at the huge silver-gray metal water tank on the roof of the building and asked Kangda.

"There is a water pipe leading down the outer wall to the river......"

Conda replied, gesturing somewhere in front of him.

"Oh, then there has to be a power machine to pump water."

"That's right, see? The little aqueduct by the river should be in that river......

So the two of them leaned on the railing again and looked down.

"If this facility is to follow us through......"

"Of course we're together!"

I don't know when Nicole, who was already standing behind the two of them, suddenly accosted and scared the two of them, but Nicole didn't seem to notice this, because she was turning back and shouting to everyone:

"Hey! Everybody! Everyone gathered around! Anna has something to say to you, everyone, hurry up, hey! Mr. Ba, take a good look at your youngest son, he wants to climb the railing......"

At this point, Nicole was busy like a tour guide, if she waved a small flag in her hand.

Seeing that everyone had finally quieted down and turned their attention to herself, Anna spoke:

"This roof is the highest point on the island, and you can easily look around here."

"Anna, I'm sorry to disturb you, you just said that the frame structure of this building is very strong, and it can withstand earthquakes of magnitude 10 or above, is it really so strong? But the bottom of this building is empty! It's a big cave! ”

"So what? Mechanically speaking, the cave is also very strong, and it existed until 60,000 years later.

Don't look at me with surprise, I'm telling the truth, I entered this cave when I was young, and I was still playing with my sister in it...... Okay, so I won't digress from the topic, we should focus on this ---- now."

Anna pointed to the river to the north of the building.

"There's a small hydroelectric power station there, and we have two small turbine generators...... This hydroelectric power station will travel to a new time and space with this building. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited. Immediately began to ask questions again, causing Anna to be unable to systematically introduce the situation at all.

“...... Hear me first! Yeah! You're right! This thing is the kind you often see in the ravines of the countryside, which provides electricity to small villages...... Well, micro-hydroelectric equipment, the kind that can generate electricity as long as there is a stream......"

"Is the power enough?"

Someone in the crowd asked.

"If it's just enough for lighting and cooking, refrigerating food, or whatever, a single turbine has a power of 190 kilowatts...... Of course, of course, it is definitely not enough to engage in industry, you need to build, I believe you have this ability, there are various specifications in this kind of power generation equipment cave, you have all seen it...... What? Oh, and note that the other generator is for pumping water, with a power of only 35 kilowatts, and of course you can connect to the grid to generate electricity, and there are some supporting generators and pumps in the cave......"

At this time, Anna could only introduce and answer everyone's impromptu questions.
