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

Chapter 265 Chapter 264 Another "Songjiakan", the TV carries the children's dreams

In Zhaojiazhuang, front-line power workers of Zhetong Electric Power Group are debugging the "Ant Nest".

At present, the group has a unified name for the "wooden boxes" used to generate electricity in such small villages, which are called ant nests.

Because the bottom is a large electromagnetic collecting plate, which is covered with volt ants. It is essentially a miniature "factory".

The debugging has now entered the final stage and if nothing goes wrong, the power will be on in about ten minutes.

At this moment, the "power station" in the village is not only populated by staff from the Zhetong Electric Power Group, but also by villagers from Zhaojiazhuang.

They were all staring at each other and chatting at the same time.

The lights on the Zhetong Electric Power mobile power supply vehicle are very bright, which is a rare scene in Zhaojiazhuang Village.

In the past, there were "power stations" only in the countryside. Every household in Zhaojiazhuang had no electricity, and naturally no electrical appliances.

Children naturally think that electric lights are something "high-end" because they don't have them where they live.

And now, the people from Zhetong Electric Power are about to provide them with electricity.

After these workers in work clothes left, Zhaojiazhuang would still have electricity, and would always have electricity.

In this regard, everyone is more excited than looking forward to it.

Under the light, men, women, old and young from Zhaojiazhuang are all standing here, with expressions of excitement, nervousness, and a kind of welcome to the era. This is a new era for their Zhaojiazhuang.

There were women standing together, discussing excitedly that they would go to the town to buy a washing machine once electricity was connected so that they wouldn't have to work so hard to wash clothes.

"You have to buy it. Zhetong Electric Power has cooperated with electrical appliance manufacturers to bring home appliances to rural areas. The price-performance ratio of the appliances certified by Zhetong is higher than that of those sold online."

"Yes, I heard a while ago that the people in our town have bought a lot of electrical appliances and said that the quality is very good."

"In addition to the washing machine and TV, I also want to buy a microwave oven. I heard that it is very convenient. I don't need to burn firewood or gas to heat up meals anymore."

Everyone was very excited when talking about these things, as life in the village is inevitably a bit boring.

For them, the men in their families have all gone out to work, and they cannot be left alone at home, but there are things at home that require help, and most of them have children.

Children need care, although many children in the village are "left-behind children" who have been taken care of by their grandparents since childhood.

But some people will still leave their wives behind so that there is someone to look after the children and prevent them from becoming lawless from an early age.

Staying in the village is naturally easier than working outside, but it also brings with it a sense of boredom. There are not many entertainment activities here. Everyone basically works every day and gossips about other people.

Now with electricity, they can watch TV and play with their mobile phones.

To put it bluntly, in this information society, because they have no electricity, it is impossible for them to develop motors every day in the village, and they don't even have access to mobile phones.

They are all used to save electricity and are usually used for making phone calls and the like.

On market days, I go to the town where there is a power station. I can pay one dollar to charge my phone.

This is something that is hard to imagine for people living in cities. It costs one dollar to charge a mobile phone, and it only needs to be charged once every few days.

But if you really calculate it this way, the price seems to be cheaper than the shared power banks in the city. That thing costs at least two or three yuan per use, no matter how long you use it.

……

On the other side, the men were chatting as enthusiastically as the women.

They also have something exciting, and that is the machines.

In the past, when there was no electricity, the tools everyone used basically had to burn oil, such as chain saws, but now they can be replaced with electric saws.

In addition, with electricity, the convenience of life will probably be greatly improved.

They were all imagining the days after electricity was connected, when after finishing farm work during the day, they would not need to light candles when a few men gathered together to drink and chat at night.

Not only is that thing suffocating, but it's also extremely dim, and cannot be compared to electric lights.

There is also the matter of threshing corn at home. It is very labor-intensive and labor-intensive to thresh corn manually, but a machine can thresh the amount of corn that several people cannot thresh in a month in one day.

Electricity can bring real improvements to our lives, and this is what everyone cares about.

The children were also fantasizing. Although there was no electricity or television in the village, they had more or less experienced going to the market with their parents, and some had even been to the city.

It is even more dazzling with bright lights and wine.

When the town went to market, a few children would always stay in a store at the east end of their town, simply because the owner of the store had set up a TV in the store.

In addition, the boss’s son is not too old either, he is a child like them.

As for children, when they turn on the TV, they will naturally stare at the cartoons without changing channels. For this reason, they will beg their parents to give them one or two yuan bills, so that when they go to the store, they will buy their favorite snacks and start looking at the world on TV.

This world has heroes, villains, good people, and ordinary people like most people.

They can see the little carp fighting the big evil dragon with wits, the Calabash Brothers saving his grandfather, and of course the Monkey King who can fly on the clouds.

The TV is not big, but the world is very big to the children.

Children also have a sense of shame. They can only watch TV here with peace of mind after buying things, and the boss will not chase them away.

Moreover, although they consume little, over time their parents will get used to buying things in this store, which will also bring profits to the boss, so the boss lets the children watch.

On market days, the boss's children would turn on the TV even when they were not at home, and the boss would specially tune it to the children's channel for the children.

In addition, there are several small stools in the store, which are specially prepared for children.

……

Now, after Zhaojiazhuang has electricity, they can also let their parents buy a TV and move their "world" in the store into their home.

"Hehe, when the time comes, let my dad buy me a TV, so I can watch Sun Wukong every day."

"Me too. I will definitely ask my dad to buy me one. Last time I saw Sun Wukong fighting the White Bone Demon, the show ended before I even saw the White Bone Demon being killed."

"The White Bone Demon must have been beaten to death. The Great Sage is so powerful."

"The last time I went to the market, I saw the show The Adventures of a Little Carp. Do you think a little carp can beat a cunning snake?"

The children were discussing the cartoons in low voices, while the workers of Zhetong Electric Power continued to work.

……

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lao Tian gave it one last check and nodded to his companions after making sure there was no problem.

"It's OK, turn on the power."

"Well, this Volt Ant has rested long enough, let's get started."

As several people nodded, Lao Tian also pressed the power button.

The wooden boxes used to place the Volt Ants on the island were relatively simple, but later, as the various departments of the group were fully equipped, including the establishment of the research center, Lin Zhe arranged for the research center to specially produce such an "ant nest", which currently has relatively complete functions.

This will ensure that all wiring is completed. Then Lao Tian presses the button, and the numbers on the electric meter start to jump as the button is turned on.

The indicator lights next to it also lit up.

"The voltage output is stable and the power supply has started."

After hearing this, Lao Tian also smiled. Next, the ant nest will be left here. After a while, when the Volt ants inside multiply, people from the headquarters will come to collect some of the Volt ants inside.

Daily feeding management, including simple electrical issues, will also be handed over to the villagers, and Zhetong Electric Power will specially hire a local person in the village to manage it.

“The power is on!”

"The call is coming!"

With this shout, thousands of lights in the village lit up.

Before Zhaojiazhuang was connected to electricity, the staff had already connected wires to every household and then installed electric meter boxes. Naturally, the locals also bought electric lights in advance.

Although we haven't had time to buy big electrical appliances, simple things like light bulbs were something everyone bought a few days ago.

As the electricity was turned on, the lights in the village lit up one by one.

Everyone's long-awaited excitement was ignited, and a huge applause broke out at the scene, which was a spiritual reward for the electricians who worked here all night.

The children didn't understand why the adults suddenly started clapping so loudly, but they followed suit and clapped their hands until they turned red.

"Finally the electricity is back! We have electricity in Zhaojiazhuang!"

"Yes, life will be much better and more convenient in the future!"

"Yes! We have a TV to watch cartoons!"

After expressing their feelings, everyone expressed their gratitude to the staff of Zhetong Electric Power Group. Some people took out cigarette boxes from their pockets, and the village chief also arranged for Master Lao Tian and his team to stay and spend the night here.

Before going to bed, he asked his wife to cook a few dishes. He went to the village store to buy two bottles of wine, and everyone had something to eat and drink.

Hearing the noisy sounds around them, Lao Tian and the others just smiled and waved their hands.

"Thank you, everyone. These are no longer necessary. Just turn on the electricity. We have to go back next."

As he spoke, Lao Tian led his men to pack up the tools, and then handed the keys to the manager of the Zhetong Power Supply Station, who was a villager and was paid by the group.

Then, a power supply vehicle from Zhetong Electric Power Group and a mobile power supply vehicle left Zhaojiazhuang with their tail lights flashing.

The villagers watched the car drive out of the village.

At this time, the village chief also stood up.

"Everyone, stop standing here! Paying your electricity bills on time is better than anything else. Go home now. It's not safe to leave the lights on at home without anyone around!"

After hearing the village chief's words, everyone slowly dispersed and returned home excitedly.

Although electric lights are no longer uncommon, they can be seen in the town.

But this was the first time the lights were on in the house, how could they not be excited.

……

The next morning, the Zhetong Electric Power Group announced the completion of electrification in all rural areas of Gansu Province.

Nong Weiqi naturally saw the news.

Ever since he personally visited the Zhetong Electric Power Group's factory in Jincheng and met Lin Zhe, he has paid special attention to matters related to Zhetong Electric Power.

He even personally instructed his secretary to keep an eye on Zhetong Electric Power if anything happened and report to him at any time.

The same thing happened today. The secretary sorted out the materials and delivered them to Nong Weiqi's office early in the morning.

After seeing that Zhetong had completed the electrification project in rural areas throughout the province, Nong Weiqi nodded with satisfaction and had to say that he had not chosen the wrong person.

Zhetong Electric Power and Lin Zhe are really capable people, and the completion time was even much faster than expected.

This would be an impossible task in other power companies, but it was accomplished beautifully by Zhetong Power.

……

Putting down the paper materials in his hand, Nong Weiqi also took out his mobile phone.

Then search for Zhaojiazhuang on the video platform, because Zhetong Electric Power said in the announcement that Zhaojiazhuang was the last place to receive electricity.

Although he is a middle-aged man, Nong Weiqi is still in line with the trend of the times and has found a "method". If he wants to quickly understand a place, he just opens the largest short video platform.

Then put the location on the local area, so that you can see things directly and realistically.

Nong Weiqi did the same thing this time. He directly located the county where Zhaojiazhuang was located, and then entered the three words "Zhaojiazhuang" in the local search box.

Sure enough, although there are not many videos, there are still quite a few new ones.

People in Zhaojiazhuang can now use their mobile phones openly. After all, they no longer have to worry about running out of battery. If their phones run out of battery, they can just plug in the charging cable.

The video quality is relatively poor, but Nong Weiqi can still clearly see what is happening inside.

The middle-aged man in the video pointed to the village behind him, where there were many lights on, and spoke excitedly.

"Did you see that? We have electricity in Zhaojiazhuang!"

The other videos were similar, with everyone expressing their happiness at having electricity. It was estimated that some villagers in Zhaojiazhuang did not sleep last night.

Seeing the smiles on the faces of these villagers, Nong Weiqi was also truly happy.

"Good! Good! Good!"

After saying "OK" three times, Nong Weiqi opened the address book and found Lin Zhe.

Without hesitation, Nong Weiqi made the call directly.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected.

"Mr. Lin, on behalf of all the people of Gansu Province, I want to thank you for doing such a great thing."

After hearing this, Lin Zhe was still a little confused, because it was only early morning local time in the south.

"Well~ this is what we should do, Mr. Nong."

Nong Weiqi also heard Lin Zhe's sleepiness on the phone, and then asked curiously, only to find out that Lin Zhe was now abroad and was planning to open up overseas markets.

"Okay, I won't disturb Mr. Lin's rest. When you come back to Jincheng, please contact me. I'll have to treat you to a meal, and we can have a good chat over the table then."
