Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 175 Chapter 174 Standing alone on the sea, a border post lacking electricity
It was still a little cold in the early morning near the sea in late autumn. Lin Zhe was standing at the door in a windbreaker. Standing with him were Zhang Yujing, Ruyi and the security guards at the main entrance.

Compared to usual, these security guards stood straighter.

They looked at the boss next to them from time to time, and they were all quite excited.

This is the president of the group. Now he is standing with the front-line security personnel, waiting for the front-line power personnel to come for support from the other three brother power plants.

……

At this moment, the convoy coming from Fengxiang Factory No. 2 in Quanhe City has already exited the Binhai Expressway entrance, and the cars from the old Factory No. 1 in Shima Town are also following in the convoy of Factory No. 2.

At another highway exit, the relief convoy from Mingpu Power Plant has also entered the city and is currently heading towards the Zhetong Electric Binhai Power Plant in Zhuwen District.

They also obtained permission to install "yellow flashing lights". The convoy is led by a power supply truck with flashing yellow lights, and other cars on the road will pay attention to avoid this convoy when they see it.

……

It didn't take long. After waiting for about ten minutes, Lin Zhe and his team saw flashing yellow lights in the distance, which was a feature that other power plants did not have.

Of course, it’s not that the old coastal power plants like Wentai Power don’t have the ability to apply for permission, but they simply don’t want to bother with it and want to save money, so there’s no need for it.

But in comparison, Zhetong Electric Power seems a little "not so formal". After all, ordinary people will have a natural sense of trust when they see the yellow flashing lights on the car.

The other cars that we usually see with these flashing lights are either police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, etc. Those are all official cars.

Zhetong Electric Power's power supply vehicles are also equipped with yellow flashing lights, so they must be not much different.

This scene was not only seen by Lin Zhe, but also by the people around who got up early to go to work or to go for a morning jog.

Just like in Lincheng, many people took out their mobile phones to shoot videos. After all, the convoy was so spectacular that it seemed as if there was no end in sight.

……

As the convoy approached, the flashing yellow light at the head also noticed Lin Zhe.

As the boss of the group, all of these employees know Lin Zhe, whether from internal reports of the group or other reports.

The car slowed down as soon as they saw Lin Zhe, so that if Lin Zhe had any instructions at any time, they could stop the car and respond.

But when Lin Zhe saw them drive to the door, he just stretched out his hand and waved, indicating that they should continue to drive forward to the factory parking lot, where there were already security personnel riding small electric scooters with flashing red and blue lights to guide them.

As the Buick Falcon with yellow flashing lights installed drove past, the appearance of the next car also made Lin Zhe smile.

It goes without saying that the four Great Wall pickup trucks following behind came from the old factory. After all, other factories including Mingpu are equipped with the latest Buick Falcon power supply vehicles.

When they were selecting staff to support Binhai, they all arranged Buick Falcon cars, not for any other reason but because they wanted to avoid losing face for Zhetong Electric Power by going to a super supermarket like Binhai.

But the situation of the old factory is different. Even if the old factory wants to ruin their situation, they have no chance. After all, all the cars of the old factory are the first batch of Great Wall pickup trucks equipped by Zhetong. Even if they want to drive a Buick Falcon over, they have no conditions.

There are four vehicles in total. Looking from the window, each vehicle is fully staffed. One vehicle is the most basic power team in Zhetong Power, with a full staff of five people.

Lin Zhe was also familiar with the staffing configuration of the old factory. Including various security guards, two cleaning ladies, and the canteen chef and auntie, there were only about a hundred people in the factory, and the front-line power team had no more than fifty or sixty members.

There are only four vehicles and twenty people supporting Binhai now, which is almost half the number of power team members in the old first factory. It can be seen that Engineer Wang really "bleeds heavily" this time.

Nearly half of the power company members have come to Binhai. Now that the old factory has such a large staff shortage, the remaining employees will probably have to work overtime.

Engineer Wang was really willing to do so. After a chuckle, Lin Zhe watched the Great Wall pickup truck, which was a size smaller than the other cars around it, drive into the factory.

Then Lin Zhe stood here and watched the cars drive into the factory one after another.

The last car was a Buick business car that came from Quanhe Factory No. 2. The staff inside were not members of the power team. They were two doctors from the factory health center of Factory No. 2.

Their medical skills are not that advanced, but they are still good at dealing with some sudden underlying diseases.

After all, there are so many people in the convoy this time, so they still made guarantees in terms of logistics.

After they drive over, they will take a short rest in the Binhai factory area, and then the power team members who stayed with them will withdraw to the Quanhe factory area.

At that time, the logistical support work will be handed over to the people at the Binhai factory.

……

In the open space of the Binhai factory area, the people and vehicles coming to support from the other three brother units of Zhetong Electric Power were parked here. They had been on the road since early in the morning and were a little tired now.

Lin Zhe also appeared in front of everyone, and Zhang Yuliang had already handed him the microphone.

With so many people and such a large space, it would be difficult for Lin Zhe to shout at others, so speakers and microphones were prepared when the factory occasionally gathered and needed to speak.

Standing in front of everyone, Lin Zhe's opening remarks were "Thanks for your hard work, everyone."

"No matter what, although we come from different factories, Zhetong Electric Power will always be a big family. We are all Zhetong people."

"In addition, you all know about our group's travel subsidies. We won't let you down. Now that we're here, let's go to the cafeteria first. The food has been prepared. After everyone has eaten their fill, we can start today's 'battle'! Let's cooperate with the brothers in the Binhai factory to take down Binhai in one fell swoop!"

……

After saying this, Lin Zhe simply waved his hand, signaling everyone to go to the cafeteria. He just said these two sentences without saying anything else.

We are all exhausted after driving so far, so we just need to go there to eat and drink. I have been busy all day and have prepared dormitories for them tonight.

Regardless of how many other things there are in the Binhai factory area, there are enough dormitories and daily necessities are also prepared. They will live in the Binhai factory area during this period of time.

……

The chefs and aunties serving food at each window in the cafeteria are also on high alert.

They had already received the news that a group of Zhetong "troops" from other factories would come to provide support this morning, and there would be quite a few of them.

Moreover, the boss specifically asked someone to give them a request that today's cafeteria breakfast should be of better quality than usual, and the purchasing department would bring in fresh ingredients from the market at four in the morning.

These support personnel from other factories smelled a strong fragrance when they entered the cafeteria.

Wow, the group also prepared crab roe buns for their breakfast, which is not cheap.

If you buy a big crab roe bun outside, it costs 20 or 30 yuan each, but here each person is limited to two for free. In addition, some other snacks with coastal characteristics are also prepared. Let's not talk about the others for now, but the prepared food makes the people who come to support us very happy.

This trip is not in vain!

……

The easternmost island in the coastal area, Ma'an Island.

The island is named because its shape resembles a saddle. It is located in the easternmost waters, far away from the coast.

Almost all the residents on the island make a living by fishing and have lived here for generations. The nearest large island to them is more than 200 kilometers away.

So this place is considered an "isolated place". With the support of the government, the fishermen on the island have been moving to inland and to some large islands far away over the years.

The administrative planning here is just a village, and now there are only about sixty households left, which is considered very small.

The only place with a sense of presence is the border outpost stationed here, with about one squad of members, a total of twelve people.

They are on this lonely island in their motherland, watching over the sea and guarding the border waters.

Compared to some outposts on inland mountains, the only advantage here is that there are residents. Although it is just a small village, there is still a small shop in the village that sells only a few common items.

In addition, the islanders also grow vegetables and occasionally buy some food.

Their official supply ships only come once every two weeks to deliver the necessary necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt.

If the residents of the island want to leave the island and go to other places, they can only take their own fishing boats. Occasionally, there is a mail ship from the big island once a month to transport some things and people.

Basically there is no problem. If I have to say anything, it is that it is very inconvenient to have no electricity here.

They usually rely on photovoltaic solar panels to generate electricity, but they stop using them when it is cloudy. The generator is very noisy, and there is not enough diesel.

Moreover, their border outposts still have concealment requirements, and the loud noise of diesel generators does not comply with regulations, so they often have to live in the dark and use battery-powered lights for lighting.

When the weather is good and the solar power generation is strong, we will fully charge these batteries and that's it.

The residents of the island are the same as them, but the outpost is also responsible for a border watchtower, which is built on a smaller reef further east of the island. It is very small and uninhabited.

Only the border guards on the island would go there. On weekdays, there were a total of twelve people on the island who were divided into four groups for rotation, and there were always three people on the watchtower.

What's worse there than on the island is that life there is very inconvenient. This was not taken into consideration when it was first built and designed. There is no electricity at all, and at least there are power supply facilities like lighthouses.

Their watchtower stood there alone, watching in silence.

Just poking, standing, and standing at attention here, this is the daily routine of this border outpost.

……

Just today, a small boat appeared in the waves, and the residents on the island looked curious when they saw it.

After all, transportation is inconvenient and people are reluctant to go out. On weekdays, there are only two types of ships coming to the island. One is the supply ship from the border, and the other is the unstoppable postal ship.

This is something that other express companies cannot do. The postal service reaches thousands of households, even to small valleys and places like this, so things like college entrance examination admission letters will be delivered by post.

But today is not the time for these two types of ships to arrive. The people on their island remember very clearly the days when these two types of ships will arrive.

……

Several island residents who were making fishing nets also stopped what they were doing and looked curiously at the ship that was about to dock.

Several people wearing jackets came off the boat, as well as a few young men wearing what looked like uniforms and carrying bags.

As they got off the boat and approached, the people on the island could see clearly the young men in uniforms, with the words "Zhetong Electric Power" written on their uniforms.

They also had something like a rangefinder on their backs.

"Electricity company? Is there an electricity company on our island that's interested?"

"I don't know. It could be for other reasons. Anyway, it's impossible to have electricity on our island. Look at Wang'an Island, which is relatively close to us. It's a big village with more than 600 households. There's no power company there, but they rely on the island's wind and solar power to be self-sufficient."

"That's right. Don't you see how much investment it takes to build a thermal power plant? It's impossible for hundreds of households to recover the cost."

These villagers were right. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to build a thermal power plant in a village with no more than a thousand households. After all, the investment and daily maintenance costs were too high.

If there are so few users, the cost cannot be recovered unless the electricity is sold at "sky-high prices".

Just as the villagers were discussing privately, the village chief, the only cadre in the village, trotted up to the few people.

……

After some discussion, the staff of Zhetong Power followed the instructions of the village chief and came to the border post on the island.

"Squad Leader Yang! Squad Leader Yang!"

Due to the shortage of electricity, people here have developed a habit of speaking without relying on any communication equipment but shouting. Except for the only landline in the village and the landline at the sentry post, which are available all year round, villagers rarely use other mobile phones.

After hearing the shouts from below, Yang Zhiwu put down the telescope in his hand, then called on the young man next to him to take his place, and then walked out of the sentry post and came down.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people here?"

"Captain Wang, these guys are engineers sent by Zhetong Electric Power. They said they want to assess the situation on our island and see if we can get electricity. If the assessment is successful, they will build a small power station on the island. They heard that there is a sentry post on our island, so they wanted to come over and take a look."

After hearing the news, Yang Zhiwu was stunned for a moment, and then he showed an incredible expression.

He has been guarding here for eight years. During these eight years, he has become accustomed to this inconvenient life. He never thought that one day the island would have electricity.

"Is this true? Don't joke with people like us who hold guns~"

Hearing Yang Zhiwu's joke with a happy face, the staff of Zhetong Electric Power also smiled. This was of course true. Lin Zhe sent them here.
