Chapter 363 Electricity Supply Network

Wang Yong was very satisfied with this result, because in this way, the cost of making electric lights dropped a lot, and if he made smaller magic chips, one magic crystal could probably make hundreds of filaments. Although the cost has been reduced a lot, the cost is still relatively high, but it is within Wang Yong's affordability.

Because of the filament used in the territory, Wang Yong does not intend to charge too much to the residents, but only a symbolic charge of some labor costs, which can be regarded as a kind of welfare for the people in the territory. But if someone deliberately destroys it, then it will be the market price when you buy it again.

Of course, if you like lamps with colors, when the energy in the magic chip is exhausted, you can also use the magic chip without energy to go to a special store to exchange it for a fee, but the cost of this exchange will not be too high.

Wang Yong stretched his back, handed over the follow-up debugging and current stabilization work to Luke and Quentin, and returned to the asphalt lake base by himself, and after inquiring with someone casually, he learned that it only took about a day to go to the Forest Cave Mansion this time.

After Wang Yong went to Lane's for a walk, he first went to the wire processing factory on the island, which has now begun to take shape, and these days under the leadership of Leslie, more than 500 workers are divided into shifts, making all kinds of cables around the clock, and now there is a certain inventory.

Leslie was very happy to see Wang Yong's arrival, and accompanied Wang Yong to inspect the operation of the factory with a bit of ostentation.

Seeing that every worker was very hard-working, and the work at hand was also very skilled, Wang Yong was also very satisfied, and praised Leslie's good deeds.

When Wang Yong came to the finished product storage warehouse and was about to take away all the cables here, he suddenly thought of a problem, so Wang Yong ignored Leslie's surprise, and according to the drawings given to him by Luke, he made five miniature magic arrays that provided electricity on the spot, and then connected the bundles of cables one by one. Check whether these cables are in good condition and whether there are breaks, and call this method to Leslie, so that he can set up a quality inspection department to inspect the finished cables, so as not to have unqualified cables leaving the factory, which will bring great trouble.

After several hours of tossing, Wang Yong signed, took all the qualified cables and rushed to the construction site in Seaside City. Talk to Brant and Norman about laying the cables.

When Wang Yong arrived at the seaside city construction site, he saw that it was very different from the last time he came, there were more workers, and the foundations of many buildings had been completed, and construction could start after a series of tests.

In the various tunnels excavated underground, all kinds of pipes have almost been laid, and they are waiting to be tested and sealed.

Wang Yong was dressed in cloth, which did not attract much attention from the workers, and after several inquiries. I found Brant very smoothly.

At this time, Brant was busy inspecting and testing the connections of various pipes, and Wang Yong put Branterra squatting in the pit on the ground and persuaded him: "Leave these things to your subordinates to do, and do everything yourself, so you don't have to be tired to death?"

Brandt smiled and said, "This is the first time I've been in charge of such a big project, and I'm always uneasy. That's right for the boss. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Wang Yongshen said mysteriously: "Go, I'll let you see a good thing." With that, despite Brant's objections, Brantra was forcibly taken to the small valley near the square.

Because the small valley will serve as an important military base in the future. So the work there is the fastest, it's basically finished, and only the final finishing touches are left.

Wang Yong pulled Brant and sent someone to call several of his foremen. In a hall that has not been used since completion, Wang Yong showed the electric lights to everyone.

When the magic chip lit up in the dimly lit room, illuminating the entire nearly two-hundred-square-meter room as if it were day, Brant and the other foremen were all stunned and shocked.

Wang Yong didn't urge, he looked at the shocked crowd with a smile, not to mention how proud he was.

After a while, Brant and the others came back to their senses and surrounded Wang Yong to keep asking. They don't understand alchemy, they don't understand electricity or anything, they only care about the practicality of this electric lamp, and the questions they ask are also about this. For example, how much does the light cost? Can it be popularized in the seaside province? And how much energy does the light consume? How safe is it?

Brandt didn't care about this, he knew Wang Yong's intention to show the electric light, so he asked some things about laying the power grid.

Wang Yong was not annoyed, answered everyone's questions one by one, and then asked Brant to unfold the construction map, pointed at it for a while, and explained his ideas and the route of laying the power grid, and consulted the opinions of everyone present.

But most of these people did not understand Wang Yong's temperament and character, so at the beginning, no one dared to raise their own doubts, for fear of offending the young lord.

However, when Brandt mercilessly criticized Wang Yong's planned route, and Wang Yong did not get angry, but humbly asked for advice, other foremen also began to put forward their own suggestions and opinions, which brought the whole discussion process into a climax.

After a long and intense discussion, the main arteries and main branches of the circuit were finally determined, and the other details were determined by Brant himself.

The final plan was to designate the military base and the future city lord's mansion in the small valley as the city's power supply location, and many large magic arrays to provide electricity would be built in the two places to provide electricity supply for the whole city.

The reason why the two power stations were chosen was to prevent damage or malfunction of the magic array and delay the daily power supply. Wang Yong pointed out that the daily power supply is usually supplied by the magic array in the city lord's mansion, and if the magic array there fails, the magic array at the valley base will take over the city lord's mansion and supply power to the whole city.

And these places where magic arrays are set up to provide power supply are collectively called power supply stations by Wang Yong.

Moreover, in order to prevent malicious destruction, Wang Yong set up several small power stations in several directions throughout the city as a backup, which are not usually activated, but at critical moments, these power stations will replace the two main power stations to provide power for their own areas.

These locations will also be classified as high-level secrecy units, which will be managed by the black hands in the future.

And the most important thing is military electricity, Wang Yong specially planned to build a separate power supply station for the city defense and military camps, which is controlled by the army itself and does not participate in the civilian power grid.

After discussing the route of laying the power grid, Wang Yong took out some of the various cables in the ring and explained the uses of various types of cables one by one. Although Wang Yong is not professional in these, the difference will definitely cause a large loss of current, but there is no way to do it, because there is no time for Wang Yong to study and analyze and make the most suitable standard cable.

Fortunately, Wang Yong's family background is now rich, and there is no shortage of energy, especially the energy provided by the magic crystals, in addition to a large number of magic crystals in the territory now, there are countless large number of magic crystals waiting to be collected in those large arrays outside the forest cave mansion. The most important thing is that the territory already has a way to charge the magic crystal, as long as it is slightly improved, it can be completely maintained, and even all the magic crystal consumption can be surplus.

Finally, Wang Yong asked Brandt to set up a full-time power department, which was responsible for the laying of electrical circuits and the subsequent repair, maintenance and management.

After some discussion, a middle-aged architect named Leo Leander became the first power director of the seaside province, temporarily under the control of Brant and Norman, and then transferred to the energy department when the seaside city was on the right track.

This Leo is cautious and attentive, with enough patience to conceive of every detail, and he has passed the investigation of the black hand, and his family has moved to the seaside province, so he can be fully trusted.

After determining these things, Wang Yong didn't care about eating, and showed Leo some details such as the connection and testing of the wires, and asked him to gather people to form a power department, and let the workers master some of these skills as quickly as possible, and then go to the base of the asphalt lake to lay the power grid.

The reason why the power grid was laid for the asphalt lake base first is because the area is small, and even if there are some mistakes, it is not difficult to change, and it is the most suitable for workers to practice.

There is another reason, that is, all the construction of the asphalt lake base has been basically completed, because of the circuit, so the underground tunnel has not been completely filled, and now the road there is still potholes, just waiting for the circuit to be laid, once with the asphalt lake in those high-temperature resistant high-grade asphalt, doped with gravel to pave the road.

Wang Yong's plan is to put all the circuits underground, use reinforced concrete to build pedestrian-friendly underground passages, and in order to prevent moisture and ventilation, a group of miniature wind magic arrays will be set up in the passages at intervals to keep the passages dry and the temperature constant. In this way, you will not see those dense power poles and cluttered power lines flying all over the ground.

After explaining this, Wang Yong did not delay everyone's home time any longer, and after saying hello, he set off to rush back to the base. But before Wang Yong reached the first level, he saw Kai Wenle coming over, and waved vigorously at Wang Yong in the distance.

Looking at Kevin's expression, Wang Yong knew that something good was going on, so he quickened his pace.

When Wang Yong came to the panting Kevin, he didn't ask about anything, but patted the vest-style plate armor on Kevin's body, and then said with satisfaction as he walked: "Yes, this time I have a long memory." ”

Kevin ignored Wang Yong's compliment, but said mysteriously, "Guess, who's coming?"

Wang Yong touched his chin and thought about it, then his eyes lit up and said, "Could it be that Ruth is here?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment, and then said a little gloomily: "No, the Ramos Chamber of Commerce didn't say when Ruth would be able to come." ”

Wang Yong was a little surprised, calculating the time, Reagan had almost arrived at the headquarters of the Ramos Chamber of Commerce, but since Kevin said that it was not Ruth, who would it be?

Wang Yong asked uncertainly: "Could it be that Regan's father is here?"

Kevin shook his head, and then, Wang Yong guessed a lot of people, but Kevin shook his head proudly, it seemed that he could make Wang Yong deflated, which made Kevin feel very happy. (To be continued.) )
