The Task Force on the edge of Elta's direct zone slaughtered the corpses of the rebels, the blood was rolling, and the Volunteers were sharpening their knives. And in Xierqi's place, the minds of the forces in the new area in the face of the Western Expeditionary Army are even more spy-cast, and the secret war is continuous. As the king of a country, Doniva naturally cannot be left behind in terms of his only showmanship.

Doniva wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced sadly at the sun in the sky before swinging his shovel and turning over the first handful of earth. It's not that he hates showmanship, but he hates to put on a show in this weather, and to have to dress like an emperor and not be able to use an umbrella — he would rather drag his slippers and shorts around his office and blow the air conditioner.

At the same time, several screws on the ceiling of a color steel house in the family dormitory area were unscrewed by workers, revealing openings that could be used to assemble prefabricated wiring grooves.

After the rainy season in Cierta, it is a hot summer, and at this time, the ceiling of the color steel house and the middle of the sloped roof are simply the upper half of the steamer...... Of course, Doniva is not much better outdoors at this time, if it is a steamer inside, it is a grill outside.

The engineering captain of the Mendong Electric Power Company sat on the side and fanned the big pu fan, pointing at the electrician Elta. Maintaining transformers and overhauling wiring is a high-tech project that can only be completed by a handful of indigenous elites under the guidance of Chinese workers. As for novices, let's start with things like installing ceiling fans and changing plugs.

Individual dormitories are equipped with a ceiling fan for each person, and the fan itself is free of charge, and only a nominal electricity fee is charged - like energy-saving lamps, the bulb can be repaired if it is broken, and the community staff will carry the aluminum ladder to repair the fan when it is broken. The family dormitory is equipped with a standard one, if there are more than a number of rooms can be optional, but the residents of the family dormitory of the color steel house usually have to move to the residential dormitory soon, and there are few households who choose to spend five yuan a month to install a ceiling fan.

With the start of the second phase of the Mendong City-Marsaqi Lake Hydropower Project and the completion of a large thermal power plant outside the city, the electricity problem that has been plaguing the surrounding areas of Mendong City has finally been alleviated. Temporary thermal power plants will also begin to be gradually dismantled, and a few thermal power plants that do not take into account liquid slag removal and electrostatic precipitation are only a hot medicine for the first winter.

In the construction of the new city, electricity is needed everywhere, whether it is cotton spinning or food production, and even the "buses" that are now running on the main road of Mendong City are trolleybuses. If any of the three points of the large thermal power plant, the prisoners of the Western Expeditionary Army and the Cierta coal mine were not on track, it is likely that even the offices of Doniva would now have to strictly limit the temperature of the air conditioning, let alone expand the scale of the residential area, and gradually integrate the commercial area into the scale of the Chinese mainland third-tier city...... Don't look at the neon lights and air conditioners of the "drunken gold fan" are very sparse and ordinary, the manufacture and even the function of the bulb, every link is inseparable from electricity.

And to get the indigenous people to gradually accept the concept of "electricity", it took a lot of effort up and down Mendong City. When the average natives first look at the electric lights, trams, and even the automatic doors of the Mendong City Household Registration Office, they will think that this is magic, at most it is magic that is several times higher than that of the magicians of the Elta Empire.

Magic is such a thing as a servant who is completely subordinate to the caster. Just as it is a ridiculous joke that a mage majoring in fire magic was burned to death, the fact that "the water washed the Dragon King's Temple" seemed almost impossible to them.

In the same way, in their opinion, the yellow-skinned visitors from Mendong City can completely control these high-end gadgets called "electricity". This is a cognitive bias that arises because of Elta's unique social structure.

Few people who have the status and money to master magic will investigate the reason, and those who don't simply think that "magic is so amazing because it's magic". Such a simple worldview cognition is also one of the shackles that the entire Bimoon World cannot enter the next stage.

Of course, this set will not work here in Mendong City. Electricity, fire, water, and everything that could only be explained by "unknown magic" or "god's toy" in the Elta tradition can be played with in the hands of visitors from the other world—and it is normal for them to simply assume that "electricity" will be absolutely obedient to their friend and employer.

In fact, even the 220V, 50HZ three-phase alternating current is extremely unfriendly to its makers. Any tool used incorrectly can cause damage to the user themselves - in fact, the same is true of magic, but ordinary people can't see the double-edged side of magic.

Even if the distance from the substation to the dormitory area can be taken underground and in the air to eliminate hidden dangers, but when it comes to the color steel room, it still has to become a distribution box and hang it on the outer wall of each household - as for the function of the meter, it is not to see how much electricity can be used by a few lamps and a few fans, but just in case. The wires are grooved through the ceiling to prevent anyone from cutting the rubber skin.

If any of the new residents would convert the switch box into an outlet, and if they had an electrical outlet, that person would be in danger. If he can't keep it, he will be sent to the small dark room of the police station for interrogation, and the cliff is either a traverser or a stowaway. The former is okay, if there is a smuggler with a crooked nut face, then I don't know how many big and small official hats will have to be taken off......

It can only be said that the person who came up with this set of solutions copied the electricity detection scheme of the university dormitory, if it were not for the cost of the scheme and the time to implement it, it is estimated that it will be added to the moth such as intelligent power cut-off.

If it is said that the trivial thing of beware of indigenous modifications to electrical sockets is the fear of intentional dangers and "political problems", repeated safety education and dark lines are the most practical to prevent unintentional dangers of electricity use.

When residents move in, both Chinese and indigenous people will repeatedly repeat such nonsense as "don't touch the switch with wet hands", "don't try to solve electrical faults by yourself", "report electrical fires to the dormitory manager immediately, please don't extinguish them with water", "don't try to rescue those who have been electrocuted", and so on. After literacy education and evening school are on track, there are also prize quizzes for canteen plus meal vouchers and restaurant vouchers, and the dormitory administrator checks the air switch at the door of each dormitory on time every day......

The measures are not imprecise. But just like Mendong City, which posted bans, reminders, and announcements all over the dormitory, there is still a family that uses an open flame to heat the cold rice brought out of the canteen in the color steel room, and then burns down their own color steel room, and almost affects the neighbors - such an example, in April, there is still a bear child who is bored at home, turns the light bulb down with a chair cushion and touches the lamp holder with his hand...... And it turned out to be an accident.

Today there will be children touching the lamp head, and tomorrow it will be inevitable that someone will touch the high-voltage line with a bamboo pole.

If indoor electricity is escorted by air switches, then nine out of ten problems with production electricity will have a major incident. However, since the establishment of the factory, the industrial, mining and light industries in the entire Mendong City have not had as many casualties in the open-pit coal mine as the prisoners of the Western Expeditionary Army. Even the Elta Meat Factory, because of the improper operation of the meat grinder, has more accidents than electricity accidents.

After paying a pension of a few hundred per person, these unlucky people and daredevils have become living teaching materials. The photos of the blackened legs and amputated limbs, and the photos of the palms scattered by the meat grinder, were posted on the propaganda boards of each factory.

"Of course, there are also people who think that this is an "evil otherworldly machine" that needs human lives to sacrifice, but the vast majority of the Elta people who want to climb higher in the treasure land of Mendong City and completely bid farewell to the people who repair the earth with their backs to the loess and the sky and poverty will only feel that these guys deserve it, and at the same time take the victim scene they see as a talking point, in fact, this can be understood as a way for them to 'take warning'......" - excerpt from Ou Jin's bullfrog shop public opinion report.

If a human has been using only a stick to hit his prey, he will inflict the most damage that a stick can do to himself. The attention required with a chainsaw and with a machete is simply not comparable.

Of course, it's not just people who are restricting the expansion of Cierta's electricity consumption. First of all, there is the issue of energy, the coal mines here are not only in terms of reserves but also in terms of grade, which cannot be compared with China, and the capacity of the portal is limited. In the foreseeable future, the capacity of the portal for product exchange will already require extremely precise scheduling, and how can there be spare capacity to deliver oversized cargo such as coal? You must know that most of the coal transportation from the north to the south is by sea, and the only road from China to Erta is that there is no sea, let alone a 10,000-ton giant ship.

In fact, the existing thermal power plants are also only a stopgap measure. And the inherent emissions problem of thermal power plants, even under the premise of sufficient coal, will make policymakers think carefully about whether to build them or not. Where is the right place to build? The smoke and dust downwind, the haze of the still wind......

As for the reserves of hydro energy resources? The water system is unpleasantly lackluster on the continent of Elta, which is almost flat and rarely undulating, comparable to Longxiang, and the installed capacity of Marsaqi Lake, one of the sources of the great rivers, is actually inferior to the largest hydroelectric power station in a province...... And in the short term, China is unlikely to build a nuclear power plant in Elta. As for photovoltaics? Can the kind of thing that Third World countries use to guarantee eight hours of electricity support support for the vast industrialization of the continent? It's good to be in the desert, but I'm afraid that the squeezing of arable land will be even more costly.

How to use electricity is enough of a headache, and I will have to think about how to generate electricity in the future. Anyone can imagine that otherworldly development is not the kind of good thing that some people dream of with a pen, and it is not the kind of huge project that a fool can imagine by deciding to build a city in a place where there is no water system as far as the eye can see.
