Chapter 1208, the big winter event
Under Ye Qingxuan's single-handed operation and the implementation of relevant policies, Sunset City's economic development will pick up slightly in the next few months.
On the one hand, Ye Qingxuan used preferential policies to attract small businessmen to settle in, and on the other hand, he generously supported local enterprises in Sunset City. The two-pronged approach achieved quite good results.
And during this period, the season of civilization in all worlds has quietly entered winter.
This winter is definitely not difficult for those cities where electrical appliances have become popular.
The electric heater launched by Gojing Technology has been almost rushed.
Even if I stocked up a lot of inventory in advance, it was almost sold out.
There is even a trend of becoming the best-selling product of the year, making headlines in newspapers several times. This wave can be said to make them a lot of money.
Luo Ji was undoubtedly happy about this. After all, Ye Qingxuan was one of the bosses behind Goblin Technology. The better the products of Goblin Technology sold, the more he and Ye Qingxuan made.
After the civilized finance increases, next year's development funds will be secured.
Originally, Luo Ji thought that this winter would pass peacefully.
But he never thought that late one night, the first huge power outage in the history of civilization in all worlds would occur.
As the electric heater stopped operating, countless people were woken up by the cold that night...
By the time Luo Ji learned the news, it was already the next morning.
Since the palace's circuit system is independent of the city and has dedicated generators, it was not affected by this widespread power outage.
"So, the root cause of this wave of blackouts is excessive electricity consumption?"
Leaning on the seat in the political hall, Luo Ji rubbed his brows and asked the director of the Electricity Bureau below.
"Yes, yes, but to be precise, there may be a voltage problem."
After such a huge power outage, the director of the Electricity Bureau was under great pressure and looked unhappy. Early this morning, the protests from countless users almost drowned them out.
But Luo Ji's concern was on another point.
"Voltage problem? What's going on?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the electric heater, the latest product launched by Goblin Technology in early winter this year, consumes far more power than other previous household appliances. In addition, after winter, countless residents use it for a large amount of time, so the power plant is
The side voltage is unstable, the output power is not enough, and it is overloaded."
In response to this, Luo Ji calmed down his thoughts for a while.
According to his understanding, this should be like a certain residential building. Suddenly, a bastard without common sense used high-power electrical appliances, causing the entire building's switch to trip. But it should be like this.
"So, have you confirmed the solution?"
Hearing this incident made Luo Ji's head hurt, so he directly asked the other party for his solution.
In this regard, the director of the Electric Power Bureau obviously had a solution, so he dared to stand here.
His plan may be said to be simple, but it may be said to be complex, but it is not that complicated.
To put it simply, it is to increase the output power of thermal power generators in power plants and output high-voltage electricity.
However, high-voltage electricity is too strong for ordinary household appliances, so it cannot be used directly.
To this end, he needs to install a voltage-adjusting transformer box in each area to convert the high-voltage electricity output from the power plant into a more stable and powerful household current.
Anyway, Luo Ji finally approved it.
At the same time, a notice was quickly posted and the newspaper briefly explained the matter to remind residents of the electricity problem.
We quickly took control of the matter before it became unmanageable.
During this period, Goblin Technology has been having a hard time lately.
When the electric heater is turned on for a long time, the voltage will rise due to the long running time. This kind of thing has not been discovered before.
Such "defective products" have also attracted strong protests from many buyers.
In this wave, Goblin Technology is also working hard to restore its reputation and reputation.
Luo Ji later heard that Goblin Technology's entire product research and development department had spent several consecutive nights improving the existing electric heaters, sacrificing a small amount of performance in exchange for greater and more stable output power.
, euphemistically called the 'low-consumption electric heater'.
Then use newspapers to publish an announcement, directly indicating that all buyers can choose to exchange the electric heater they purchased before for a new low-consumption version of the electric heater for free.
This move can be regarded as allowing them to successfully restore the company's reputation and reputation.
As for the subsequent installation of the electric power bureau's transformer box and the adjustment of the voltage, the original high-output electric heaters began to function normally, and many consumers wanted to replace them again.
That's a story for later.
During this period, unlike the civilizations of all worlds that have entered the cold winter, on another battlefield constructed with a silver-level declaration of war, winter has passed and spring has come, and the ice and snow have melted...
During these three months of cold winter, it was obvious that not all of the opposing armies were really hibernating there.
A burst of gunfire broke the final tranquility of this hilly battlefield. The unique height of the dwarf troops allowed them to easily use the terrain to hide behind the hills, seize the opportunity, and launch the first round of offensive!
When these dwarves operate firearms, their movements are completely unambiguous. Their superb reloading movements due to their talent bonus make their shooting efficiency even higher than that of human infantry units. There is a gap between orc soldiers and them.
Not to mention.
The fire from the muzzle of the gun instantly connected into a dense square of fire, directly pouring out pieces of bullets, crushing the enemies who stepped into their shooting range in the distance.
The Europa army was caught off guard and was suppressed on the spot by the firepower phalanx of the dwarf infantry.
Subsequently, the human infantry units on the other two sides quickly pressed forward.
Two fan-shaped fire squares were formed, cutting off one of the Europa army's retreat routes.
There is no doubt that in the first round of confrontation, the armies of all civilizations have already gained the upper hand!
As the commander of this unit, Paul Anthony was yelling crazily at the top of his voice, organizing his soldiers to retreat quickly, trying to use the undulating terrain of the hilly areas to block the rain of bullets pouring from the opposite side, and
Regroup.
But at this moment, John Thrall, who has firmly grasped the advantage and dominance of this battle, will give his opponent a chance to regroup?
A sneer flashed across his face, and then he issued a ruthless order without hesitation.
"High-explosive grenade, throw it directly!"
