Episode 140 Pioneers, Gensokyo's Industrial Revolution

"You, hello, Lord Dongfang, for the first time, I'm Hatori Kawajo. ”

The girl named Kawashiro Natori clenched her hands, her body trembled slightly, and even the smile on her face was very stiff.

Uh, am I that scary? I'm so nervous.

"Calm down, Nitori. ”

Knowing that she was feeling uneasy in her heart, Shotmaru Fumi hurriedly comforted.

"I'm sorry, Lord Dongfang, this child's skin is a little thin, and she will become like this when she sees a stranger, please don't blame her. ”

Of course I wouldn't be mad about that.

"Let's sit down first!"

I said, pointing to the seat behind them.

"Ah, thank you. ”

Shotimaru Wen hurriedly pulled Kawashiro Hatori to sit down, and the maids immediately served tea to the three of them.

After a few sips of tea, Kawashiro Lottori's heart finally calmed down.

"That, Lord Dongfang, I'm sorry, it was too rude just now. ”

She blushed.

"It's okay, the first time we meet, it's inevitable when you're nervous. ”

I shook my head and smiled at her.

"Hmm. ”

Kawashiro Natori held the teacup, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Look at her like this. Shotimaru could only speak for her.

"Ah, Lord Dongfang, in fact, we are here today because we want to ask you something. ”

"Tell me, there's something I need help with. ”

I took a sip of tea and looked at them lightly.

"It's your turn. ”

Shooting Pill Wen hit Kawashiro Lotus a few times, and said in a low voice.

"Huh? ”

Kawajo came back to his senses and took a few deep breaths.

"Well, Lord Dongfang, do you know what a hydropower station is?"

"Of course. ”

I nodded, and suddenly something came to mind, and my eyes narrowed.

"Does what you're talking about have anything to do with that?"

"There's a lot to do with it. ”

As soon as he talked about important things, the tension of Kawashiro Natori quickly disappeared, and even his speech was much smoother.

"It's not been made public yet, but I'll tell you about it now. That's ......"

Speaking of this, she became a little excited, and quickly paused to calm down the feelings.

"That's what we, the Kappa clan, are going to do our best to build Gensokyo's first power station. ”

The hall suddenly became silent, and the sound of my tea became very loud.

"Is it true what you said?"

"Lie to me, when will the kappa be able to finish that kind of work. ”

"What is a power station?"

Everyone suddenly surrounded and questioned Hecheng Hecheng.

"Wait, wait, I'll answer one by one. ”

Although it was expected that this news would cause an uproar, everyone's reaction was still beyond the expectations of Kawashiro Natori.

"Hey, Dongfang, do you hear me, power station! Do you know what this means? It means that we can use electricity in the future, just like humans in the world. ”

Marisa suddenly ran back, grabbed my arm and yelled.

"Are you all stupid?"

I slapped both of her paws off.

"What is the day when we don't use electricity in Xingli Palace? ”

The hall was silent again.

"Ah, ahaha, that's it, it's not that I haven't seen it, what's there to be shocked about?"

Reimu smiled and returned to her original position, seeing that there was an empty cup on the table, she quickly poured herself a cup of tea.

"That's the cup you're holding......"

"What?"

Reimu took a sip of tea and looked at me and asked.

"I just used it. ”

"Poof......

"Lie to you. ”

I took a sip of my cup and looked calm, as if I hadn't seen the anger burning in Reimu's eyes.

Hehe, this is as a return gift for you driving me away from the shrine yesterday.

Ignoring her, I turned to Kawashiro who was carefully observing the electrical appliances and said, "So, you should have basically mastered the technology of how to build a hydropower station, right?"

"Yes, Lord Oriental. ”

Kawashiro nodded vigorously.

"We decided to build a hydroelectric power station at the Nine Heavens Falls, which would use the tremendous impact of the falls to rotate the turbine generators to produce an endless supply of electricity. This plan has been fully supported by the gods of the mountain, and most people, including Daitengu-sama, have agreed. ”

"Oh, no wonder. ”

Thinking of the recent increase in the number of contacts between the Raden Tengu and the kappa, it suddenly dawned on the Seimari Maru and Inugotsu.

"Well, I believe that all of you here should know better than me what electricity can be used for, if the hydropower station can be built smoothly, then in the future, whether it is the Cage Tengu, or us kappa, or even the entire Gensokyo, it is possible that everyone can use this clean and convenient new energy, and everyone can enjoy the convenience brought by electrification. It's a great change. The era of kerosene lamps has passed, and in the future, the night sky of Gensokyo will be lit up by electric lights. ”

Kawashiro shouted with a fist, his little face flushed with excitement.

"So, what's the problem?"

I asked.

Now that the preparations have been so sufficient, but there is still no way to start implementing it immediately, it seems that the trouble is indeed not small!

"Theoretically, there is no big problem with this plan, and after preliminary tests, it has been proved that it is completely feasible. However, at this time, we found a fatal flaw in the plan. ”

Speaking of this, Kawashiro couldn't help but hesitate.

"Although it is true that turbine generators can produce huge amounts of energy, we have found that in the process of electricity transmission, the energy will be constantly lost, and the farther it travels, the greater the loss, and when it is a few kilometers away, it is almost impossible to feel the small one. In this way, not to mention covering the entire Gensokyo, even if it is provided to the shrine on the mountain, it is not enough! We have tried all the methods, but the results are not satisfactory. ”

The more she spoke, the tighter her brows furrowed, this question had puzzled her for too long, even if she asked the gods from the outside world, she would not get much help, after all, the gods are not omnipotent.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have run to Gensokyo.

"Electricity can't be transmitted too far? How is that possible, if there is a transformer, the transmission problem should not be very big!"

I was surprised to hear her say that.

"Uh, transformer? What's that?"

“......”

I looked at her and felt speechless, there was not even a transformer, and of course there was no way to transmit power far away.

The science of half a bucket of water is terrible!

"I'm really sorry. ”

As soon as the words came out, Kawajo Natori knew that it was bad, and needless to say, the problem must be here.

Seeing her constantly bowing and apologizing to me, I couldn't help but knock on my forehead, did I get one thing wrong, no matter where, the discovery and application of electricity was not achieved overnight, but after a long time, kappa They can succeed in such a short period of time, which is already quite good, and you can't force too much.

Seeing that this little girl's eyes were sparkling, tears were about to well-up from me, and I hurriedly said, "In that case, then I will help you with this!"

"Really?"

Kawashiro Natori's tearful eyes turned into a pair of crooked crescents in an instant.

"Ah, but I'm only providing technical support. ”

"Technical support?"

Before Kawashiro could figure it out, a book thick enough to knock people out with a single blow fell into her arms.

"The Complete Application of Electricity and Magnetism?"

Kawashiro looked at the book in her arms, and felt very strange in her heart, could this be the so-called technical support? Although she couldn't figure it out, she immediately opened the book.

"This, this is ......"

Just by glancing at it, Kawashiro couldn't help but scream.

"How's that? This kind of thing works for you, right?"

"Useful, useful, it doesn't get much more useful than this. ”

Kawashiro kept nodding, but he couldn't take his eyes off the book.

"I'll take a look at something. ”

Marisa and the others all leaned over to look around, and saw that the book was full of words and colorful illustrations.

"Hey, current, voltage, what's that?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know. ”

"What is resistance? Is it something to eat?"

"I don't think so. ”

......

"You guys, don't interfere with her reading anymore, and sit back for me. ”

Seeing that Kawajo was noisy by a swarm of flies, but still couldn't bear to get angry, Reimu finally couldn't stand it anymore and quickly drove these annoying guys away.

Looking at this group of guys who couldn't be quiet for half a moment, I could only shake my head, fortunately the other little ghosts were not at home, or they wouldn't have made a fuss.

Well, I seem to have drunk too much tea just now, and now I'm a little anxious.

I rubbed my stomach and got up and walked outside.

"Lord Dongfang, where are you going?"

Seeing that I was leaving, Shotimaru wanted to follow.

"Toilet. ”

"Uh, please walk slowly. ”

Unexpectedly, the other party actually went there, and Shotmaru Wen suddenly blushed, she turned her head, but saw a few very strange faces.

It seems to be forcibly suppressing the smile.

Shotmaru's head was immediately covered with black lines.

When I came out of the bathroom, I stretched out, well, should I go back to the living room?

I glanced at both sides of the hallway, and finally decided to go back to my room, anyway, the problem was solved, what are you going back for?

As soon as I turned around, I walked towards the end away from the living room.

There was still some distance from my room, but I was surprised to find that there was already a person walking in front of me.

Looking at her tiptoeing and cautious appearance, at first I thought it was the little goblin in white, but immediately I felt that something was wrong, she was much taller than Lunachild, and the clothes were not white.

Also, she doesn't have wings behind her!

Good fellow, did a thief sneak in?

I quickly slowed down and walked quietly over to her.

The girl of unknown origin looked inside through the crack in the door for a long time, and finally closed the door in disappointment.

"Damn, Wenwen, where did you go?"
