It goes without saying what a power station is and how important it is to a civilization with technological development. These things basically go without saying.

Even for a special civilization like Luo Ji, where technology and magic developed together, if electricity and electrical appliances suddenly ran out, it would undoubtedly have a huge impact on his civilization of all realms.

The current gold-level civilization still relies on thermal power stations as the main source of power supply.

By burning fuel such as coal, heat energy is generated, which is then converted into electrical energy to complete power generation.

But as we all know, this requires the consumption of resources, and whether it is coal or other fuel resources, they are actually limited for a civilized player.

Therefore, how to use renewable energy to provide yourself with enough electrical energy to free your civilization from the constraints of resource constraints has become a major difficulty that many gold-level players need to overcome.

In fact, power plants that recycle renewable energy have already existed.

For example, hydropower, wind power, solar power, etc., these are all.

But the problem is that these power generation systems have limitations.

Hydroelectric power generation has requirements on the environment and terrain. Currently, the largest hydroelectric power station in Luoji Wanjie Civilization is in the Yangtze River Basin.

With this restriction alone, hydropower is destined to be difficult to become the main power supply for a civilization.

Wind power generation is even less efficient and unstable, so it is even more hopeless.

Solar power generation looks very high-end and advanced, and it can easily make some people with little knowledge think it is very awesome, but in fact, Luo Ji has already done it during the hundred years of development.

He built a solar power station covering an area of ​​88 hectares in the dwarf province for preliminary testing.

This power station is equipped with 1,600 solar power generation devices.

From the construction of the power station to the configuration of various equipment and devices, nearly 400 million in financial funds were spent.

The power supply of such a solar power station can meet the daily electricity needs of 3,800 nearby households.

As soon as this result came out, the Ministry of Finance directly stated that the price/performance ratio was too low.

Their civilization of all worlds currently has extremely abundant resources that can be mined. Therefore, the cost-effectiveness of thermal power generation is countless times higher than that of solar power generation, and it is also cheaper!

Under this premise, you spent more financial funds, acquired a large piece of land, and built a solar power station.

If this solar power station could outlast the thermal power station, that would be okay.

It really doesn't work. In terms of power generation, it is possible to beat a hydroelectric power station in seconds, but the result is that it can't even drop in seconds, and the difference is not just a little bit, but very large.

This makes it difficult for the Ministry of Finance, which is responsible for evaluating and calculating the value of the project, to allocate more funds to this project in a short period of time. It can even be said that allocating funds to this project is simply a dereliction of duty by the Ministry of Finance.

At the same time, plans to gradually increase the scale and number of solar power stations, involving at least 50 billion in follow-up investment plans, were naturally shelved.

Because of this matter, at the court meeting at the end of the quarter, the Minister of Finance and the Director of the Bureau of Natural Ecology and Environmental Protection had a heated argument.

Although thermal power stations have strong power supply capabilities and are very cost-effective, they also have a very obvious shortcoming, which is that they cause environmental pollution.

Nowadays, the Natural Ecology and Environment Protection Bureau, which is dominated by the elves and goblins, has always attached great importance to this issue.

For them, the fact that solar power plants will not cause pollution to the environment is a sure win.

When the civilization first proposed to build solar power stations and popularize them, they strongly supported it. It can even be said that they received huge support from the entire elves and goblins.

Now, according to the evaluation report of the Ministry of Finance, it is said that this project will be shelved indefinitely. Once this matter is announced, the two sides will definitely fight.

The final result, of course, ended with the victory of the Finance Minister.

Although each generation of finance ministers has been deeply persecuted due to the huge financial pressure and high development expenses of the civilization of all worlds, it cannot be denied that the people who can become ministers of each generation have extremely outstanding abilities.

Not to mention this project, even Luo Ji, after reading it, agreed to shelve it for the time being.

Research and improvement can continue, but large-scale construction is meaningless because, as of now, the effect is too poor.

There is no need to waste financial resources on this matter.

After this, the Finance Minister inevitably attracted a wave of hatred.

In response to this, the goblin minister of this generation's Ministry of Finance curled his lips with disdain, saying it didn't matter at all.

When you are finance minister, offending people is almost inevitable.

How much financial expenditure do they face every day when they manage civilized finances? There are hundreds of serious projects alone, as well as large and small projects.

If their Ministry of Finance doesn’t take care of their finances, even if they don’t use it for a month, the entire year’s finances of their civilization of all worlds will be divided up. Even the Minister of Finance can pat his chest and say that it is definitely not enough.

.

Because when these people apply for funding, they always have only one idea in their minds, that is, the more, the better.

At the same time, cost-effectiveness is never considered.

And these things that need to be considered are all handled by their Ministry of Finance.

If you want to be the Minister of Finance, you must not be afraid of offending others.

So in contrast, the Ministry of Finance has always had the strongest backing in the entire civilization, that is, their emperor and queen!

As long as Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan support them, it doesn't matter who they offend. After all, what can those people do to them?

"Your Majesty, is it really necessary to engage in such a project at the moment?"

While talking, the Goblin Minister of the Ministry of Finance put the plan for the ‘Volcano Power Station’ in his hand on the table.

In the side hall on one side of the Assembly Hall, Luo Ji temporarily called all the ministers of relevant departments, including the Minister of Finance, over to discuss matters.

Regarding the Finance Minister's question, Luo Ji directly said...

"Although our civilization of all worlds currently has extremely rich resource reserves, it still cannot be changed. The quantity of these resources is limited. When the resources are insufficient, it will be too late to think of research and development. Therefore, I feel very

It is necessary to achieve sufficient results in the field of 'renewable energy' before then."

Hearing this, everyone sitting at the conference table nodded.

Then, Luo Ji looked at Lu Yang, who was frowning slightly, and asked aloud...

"Lu Yang, do you have any questions?"

"Your Majesty, does this 'volcano power station' use the magma inside the volcano to generate electricity?"

"Yes, it is essentially geothermal power generation. Once completed, the power supply will definitely be considerable. It does not require fuel transportation equipment, nor boiler equipment, and it even does not pollute the environment with high-quality renewable energy."

These words sounded very tempting. While Lu Yang nodded, as an assistant officer, he also put forward his opinions from his own position and perspective.

"Weichen personally feels that the 'Volcano Power Station' facility is relatively 'sensitive'. After it is announced, it will definitely arouse opposition from many people. And if any accident occurs during the construction or operation process, public opinion will be

It gets worse.”

At this point, Lu Yang's voice paused...
