608 Xianyang never sleeps city

The Qi Air Force has not yet had time to take revenge. The Qin Heavenly Army once again attacked the military camp of the Qi army. This time it was two planes carrying a specially made half-stone aerial bomb.

It's a pity, though. Neither bomb killed a single person. Rather, it wounded a cow. But the next day. On the third day, the airship bombardment began to intensify. The Second Bombing Squadron of the Qin State was sent. The two squadrons together dispatched more than 200 bombs to attack a grain and grass place of the Qi army. But the bombing was not very effective. The reason was that the Qin army used high-explosive bombs. White phosphorus bombs of an incendiary nature were not used. High-explosive shells, though, also caused a fire. But the fire was effectively controlled. In particular, most of the grain was only blown up and not burned.

The actions of the Qin army. Let the Qi army begin to strengthen the air defense. The front line was set up specifically to view airships. Outposts for aircraft. Smoke alarms are released as soon as there is a situation. The Qi army began to move from the surface to the tunnels or woods. Grain and grass are also transported in a timely manner. In a word. The targets of the Qin army's bombing began to decrease.

The war on the eastern and western fronts was compared to the calm in the Qin state. A huge contrast is formed. The state of Qin lifted the curfew on March 29. The reason is that the continuous darkness with the help of street lamps has allowed Xianyang, the Qin State, to enter the era of the city that never sleeps.

Xianyang became the first city in the world that never sleeps. More than just street lights. Hotels, high-rise buildings, train stations, department stores, and black-and-white supermarkets all use convenient electric lighting. Electric lights have become popular in Xianyang.

The popularity of electric lights. Thanks to a domestic power standard conference in Qin.

With insulated wires. In particular, polyethylene materials manufactured using the high-pressure method appeared. And with this kind of insulated wire, it began to be popularized on a large scale. Polyethylene solves the wire problem. Use tungsten filament to make electric filament. Tungsten bulbs, which are used to fill electric lamps with nitrogen, have been promoted.

In terms of electricity production. Qin's generators are getting bigger and bigger. The mode of power generation has been diversified. Thermal power generation. In particular, the use of coal in the Zhao Kingdom. The use of thermal steam to generate electricity has become an important piece of equipment in power plants. The small power plants that used to be are starting to grow. They don't just provide electricity to businesses. It also sells electricity to other businesses for use.

Textile factories, for example, provide electricity services to arsenals. And in the far north and in the Taiyuan region. Due to the use of a new type of arc to smelt steel. So the electricity is getting tighter and tighter. This prompted the emergence of large power plants.

It's not just industry. in agriculture. Water pumps using electricity are also being used. In some places, slaves no longer carried water for irrigation or dug ditches. And in terms of transportation. The first form of public transportation appeared in the Qin state. Streetcar. This is specially set up to alleviate the increasingly tight urban traffic in the old city of Xianyang. Trams are connected to the two main roads of Xianyang, east, west, north and south.

The production of electricity and the use of electricity have been greatly promoted. But problems arise. The voltage of electricity. calculation method and so on. The specifications used by each electric light, electric power company, and electrical appliance manufacturing company are different. At one point it was confusing in terms of use. And the competition is fierce.

Some power companies only provide 100 voltage wires. And some electrical appliances need to use 200 voltages. The state of Qin did not use volts of voltage units. Instead, the voltage is used directly as the unit of voltage. Shangwen also didn't know how much difference there was between volts and voltage. People can't perceive these things. So Shang Wen can't say for sure.

The difference in voltage can maintain the monopoly of its products. Especially in terms of power supply. From 100 voltages to 300 voltages, there were nearly thirty-two voltage specifications in the Qin State.

This confusion of voltage specifications. In particular, electricity suppliers and appliance companies are in alliance with each other. The method of forming local price control and achieving partial monopoly has caused great restrictions on the widespread use of electricity.

So, at the suggestion of the prime minister. Pass through various universities. Electric power companies and electrical appliance manufacturing companies responded to the convening of the Electricity Standards Conference. The conference is organized under scientific research and extensive social data. It was decided to stipulate one hundred voltages for civilian use. Two hundred and fifty voltages are industrial voltages. The two voltages can fluctuate up and down by 10 percent.

After the unification of the Voltage Standards Conference. Only then did the basic conditions for a wide range of applications begin to be established. Then the electric light entered thousands of households from Xianyang Palace. Wire poles are being erected everywhere in Xianyang in order to speed up the progress. For the first time, Xianyang divided the blocks. Then, according to the neighborhood, the popularization of electric wires was carried out.

In the days that followed. Block by block in the Old City electrified. Then electric light became widespread. Considering the ease of travel. and the need for night patrols. Street lights began to be set up at road poles. Then the tram appeared. As the schedule draws to a close. The night of Qin is no longer shrouded in darkness. It's brightly lit. It's night. People would sit under the electric light, read, talk, and eat. Or find some new entertainment.

Playing poker became a pastime. Billiards is good though. But the space is too much. And age acceptance is limited. Especially after the advent of electric lights. People's nightlife is gradually enriched. Playing cards is one of the games that Yingyu plays at night with Shangwen. Soon this game was promoted. Even the King of Qin would summon the concubine according to his good card skills.

The popularity of electric lights. Especially after the advent of street lights. For the first time, Xianyang ended the dark era of the night. People began to take to the streets in the dark. The curfew was postponed for an hour. Even so. People still find it inconvenient. So the curfew was lifted after the discussion.

The hotel is open at night. In order to attract sound, the lampshade is made of colored paper, and it becomes a colorful Shangwen light. In addition, the theater, especially the appearance of opera, suddenly enriched the nightlife of the Qin people. People are starting to enjoy nightlife, and nights are no longer the age of sleep.

The night market became one of the important markets in the Qin State. As long as there are street lights, Qin is as lively as during the day.

Under the illumination of thousands of lights. Xianyang has become a city that never sleeps. Commerce is highly developed. Plus the illumination of the lights. Let Xianyang become an international metropolis. Count the new town. The urban population living in Xianyang is close to 900,000. It's still a long way from a million. But it won't be long. will arrive quickly. Because there are still many people who enter Xianyang from the countryside.

Zhao people who work part-time. Koreans who do business. The Chu people who entered the city made local snacks of the Chu country. Chu Nu danced beautifully and was applauded by others on the stage. Of course, they also have good pay.

The nightlife benefits from electric lights. Electric lights have taken people out of the darkness of the night. Driven by the city that never sleeps in Xianyang. Electric lighting began to spread in the surrounding area. And then there's the whole Guanzhong.
