Chapter 1200, Power Construction

If nothing unexpected happens, the first city with universal electricity in all civilizations will soon be born.

Recently, Luo Ji was obsessed with this matter and couldn't help himself.

"Your Majesty, the thermal generators at the Science and Technology Institute are all ready."

Ye Hua, who was in charge of this matter, immediately reported the latest progress to Luo Ji.

"What about the circuit design drawing in the city? Have you finished the circuit design drawing?"

After hearing the report, Luo Ji quickly asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the news from the Electric Power Bureau this morning is that the power routes in areas No. 1, 2, and 3 in the city have been confirmed, and the remaining areas are still being confirmed step by step."

Obviously, this electricity bureau is a new department established by Luo Ji in recent months. Under normal circumstances, it is responsible for the city's circuit system and all related matters.

As for the power station, considering various circumstances, Luo Ji built it in the suburbs outside the city.

After all, if a factory that houses so many high-power thermal generators is built in the city, if an unexpected situation occurs, it may cause huge harm.

At the same time, when thermal generators are working, they produce a large amount of smoke and exhaust gas, which will also have an impact on the urban environment.

Therefore, locating the power station outside the city can be said to be the wisest choice.

The answer Ye Hua gave made Luo Ji quite satisfied.

Immediately, I heard him ask again...

"What about the street lights? Have all the street lights to be installed been manufactured?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the manufacturing work of street lamps has been fully handed over to Goblin Technology. Currently, the first and second batches of street lamps have been sent to the Electricity Bureau and are basically waiting for the official start of construction."

"very good."

After hearing this, Luo Ji nodded with satisfaction.

"Then in order, let's start installing street lights and circuits in areas No. 1 and 2."

"yes."

In order to get the people to accept a series of new things like "electricity" and "electric light" as quickly as possible, Luo Ji undoubtedly used the influence of newspapers a little bit.

In recent days, news about power stations and power systems outside the city has been dominating the headlines of newspapers, causing quite a lot of talk.

Obviously, people are also very interested in this new thing. After all, according to newspaper reports, once the electricity system becomes popular, the thing called "electric light" will completely replace candles and oil lamps in their lives.

This also means that they will no longer need to buy consumables such as candles and lamp oil, but will instead pay a fee called "electricity bill". For the people, this change is quite big.

On both sides of the street, street lights were under construction, attracting many pedestrians to watch.

Before introducing electric lights into every household, Luo Ji gave priority to installing street lights. In this way, he could most intuitively let people know the benefits brought by electric lights and electricity.

Installing street lights in an area is not a big and time-consuming project. As long as you move quickly, you can complete the installation project in an area in a short time. In comparison, the subsequent wiring and erection of telephone poles are more important for construction.

For the team, it is even more troublesome.

Because they must make all the wires perfectly avoid all buildings without affecting pedestrians, and then lead all the way to the power station outside the city.

During this period, they also had to consider the subsequent circuit arrangements to avoid ending up with all kinds of wires tangled up in a mess throughout the city.

The sun was setting in the west and the sky was getting dark. This night, a certain area of ​​​​Dingjing City was far more lively than usual.

Almost the entire area was packed with people who came to see the new products.

According to the members of the patrol team who were responsible for maintaining order at the scene, the earliest people who arrived were already standing here in the morning.

People who came late can't even squeeze in at the entrance of the block because it's already full of people.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and as night fell, I was completely unprepared. The street lights distributed on both sides of the street lit up after several flashes, causing everyone in the area to exclaim.

.

The newspaper reporter, who had already set up his camera, quickly took pictures of this crucial scene.

At this moment, the brightness brought by the lights in this area was much stronger than the previous fuel lamps, which brought a huge impact to the people who came to watch.

As if it was some kind of special ceremony, for a week, people gathered here almost every night, just to see the moment when the street lights came on, and they exclaimed for a while, lamenting the magic of technology.

.

Afterwards, when he looked at the report and the latest issue of the newspaper, even Luo Ji was stunned for a moment. The people's reaction was even a bit beyond his expectation.

He indeed thought that the emergence of electrical appliances would completely change people's lives.

But now it’s just a light bulb? How could the reaction be so big?

However, what Luo Ji didn't know was that the reason why he could be so calm was because he already knew what "light" and "electricity" were.

But others are different. Many of them have lived in a world without electric lights for most of their lives, or even their whole lives, and can only bring some light through candles and oil lamps after dark.

But now, they suddenly saw such a 'bright' night, and one can imagine the huge impact that moment had on them.

At this moment, the street light project can be said to have been strongly welcomed by all people, and the implementation was extremely smooth.

In Mirror City, construction work was completed in one area after another in a short time.

On the streets, a large number of street lights began to brighten the nights of Spiegel City, and even promoted the night market economy to a large extent.

Originally, after dark, no later than nine o'clock, or even after eight o'clock, the number of pedestrians on the streets would begin to decrease significantly. However, recently, in areas where street lights have been put into use, it often reaches nine o'clock.

Oh, there are still people coming and going on the streets.

Even the stores on both sides of the street postponed their closing time to eleven or twelve in the evening and started doing night business.

On one occasion, Luo Ji even took along two bodyguards, Wang Kai and Luo Yunxi, to go out and have a good experience at night.

I have to say that at this time, the night in Mirror City has already taken on a somewhat modern urban atmosphere.

For a moment, Luo Ji himself felt very sad, and at the same time he felt the progress of the times even further!
