Blind monk of the Uchiha family

Chapter 163 It’s Not OK to Generate Power Without Electric Appliances

Kawanokuni Power Plant, in the factory manager's office.

Sitting across from Oki, Zheng Zhi clapped his hands on the map on the table:

"It's the right time for us to expand our business, and we can't stop expanding just because of that. Let me say, just build a new power plant."

Zhengzhi gave his opinion from the perspective of a businessman.

He expects to use the influence of Mount Star to restore his position in the country of Chuan, so he urgently wants to expand the power grid of the power plant to the entire country of Chuan.

"Let's not talk about the need for so many power plants in the territory of the country of Chuan in Mangxing's plan." Da Mu looked at the map of the country of Chuan in front of him, very headache: "If you want to build a new power plant, you need more power plants." A lot of money, where do we get so much money?"

Because of Mang Sing's high welfare system, the villagers living at the foot of the power plant's mountain earn quite a lot of money every month.

Coupled with their power supply, they have been exploiting the market as well as their low prices.

In fact, there are not many surpluses other than the payment of wages to villagers and technical backbones.

At least not far enough to build another power plant.

"We can also cooperate with local wealthy people. Many people are greedy for the profits of electricity."

Zheng Zhi proposed a solution, but his solution was firmly opposed by Da Mu.

"No, the interests of the power plant must not be left to the local family. This is determined by Mang Xing."

"However, we all know how broad the market and development prospects of electricity are. I think it is worth giving up a little share in exchange for sufficient development time."

Although he doesn't understand technology, after staying in the power plant for a long time, Zheng Zhi can still see how much change some new things can bring.

Therefore, he is now very confident about the prospects of this career.

"It's a matter of the future." Da Mu waved his hand, leaning forward to look at Zheng Zhi. "Once the technology spreads out, our advantage will be lost, and the local big families have plenty of ways to drive us out of the market."

According to Mang Singh, this is the advantage of capital accumulation.

As long as they rely on 'price war' to replace traditional candle lighting with electric lighting like they are now.

With a loss-making price, if you can't continue to operate, you can easily monopolize the entire Sichuan country market with capital.

"Stop arguing for now."

Hayakawa, who had been sitting aside and checking something, looked up and saw that the two were arguing over the establishment of a new power plant, and quickly said:

"In fact, we just need to give us some more time to find a solution to the delivery problem."

"What can Mr. Hayakawa do?" Both of them said in unison, looking at Hayakawa.

Seeing that both of them looked eager, Hayakawa picked up a pen and paper, leaned over the table, and explained while writing:

"The amount of power loss is related to the magnitude of the current and the material..."

When Oki heard that Hayakawa wanted to explain the principle on the spot, he quickly stopped him: "Mr. Hayakawa, you can just state the conclusion directly."

In this era when electricity is just getting skill points, the specific formula has of course not been discovered yet.

But under the impetus of Mount Star, the concept of several variables has emerged.

Then by controlling the variables, it is easy to experiment and find out which things can affect the loss of electric energy.

"In short, if you want to reduce the loss, you must either replace a more suitable material, or reduce the intensity of the current and increase the intensity of the voltage at the same time."

After Hayakawa finished speaking, he drew a circle on the word 'material' on the paper.

"The cheapest material and the most practical material is the copper we have been using, so our goal is to find a way to change the current and voltage during transportation."

"Mr. Hayakawa's train of thought is fine." The voice of the fourth person came from the door.

The attention of the three people sitting in the office turned away from the paper, and they saw the young man standing at the door with a wooden leaf forehead guard tied over his eyes.

It was Mang Xing who did not know when he stood at the door.

"Mang Xing, why are you here suddenly?" Miyamoto Oki, who hadn't seen him for a long time, stood up excitedly from his chair.

"Ah, I came to see you because I dropped in on the mission."

After finishing speaking, Mang Xing was also a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Oki and Hayakawa, I have been entrusting the management of the power plant to you all this time, thank you for your hard work."

"No, no, I should thank you for providing us with such a superior research environment."

Hayakawa bowed deeply to Mang Xing.

Although this world is still in a feudal society, there is no concept of capitalists.

However, Xiang Mangxing is so willing to integrate manpower and distribute most of the money he earns to 'wage earners', he is really a rare kind person.

Although for Mang Xing, the status quo is: if you have money, you have a fart, can you improve your strength?Can I buy a computer phone?

"By the way, I wonder if you have any specific guidance for my thinking?" Hayakawa admired Mang Xing's scientific research strength.

Fortunately, Mang Xing knew a little about this.

Carefully recalling the knowledge in his mind, he said with some uncertainty:
"To put it simply, it is to continue to use the mutual conversion of electricity and magnetism. The circuit of the power generation equipment and the output circuit are respectively wound on both sides of the iron core, so that when the current passes through the iron core, the iron core will pass through the magnetic field due to the current. Under the action of the magnetic field, the circuit on the other side generates a current. The voltage of the current is determined by the number of turns of the wire wound on the iron core."

Of course, this is only a theoretical model, and many problems such as material loss and heat generation need to be dealt with in actual production.

However, for Hayakawa, he only needs a little inspiration to confirm the direction of his research.

"So that's the case! Sure enough, the simplest phenomenon is worth exploring and utilizing."

Hayakawa slapped his palm, and sure enough, he understood Mang Xing's meaning, and rushed out directly past Mang Xing's side.

"Well, Mr. Hayakawa really loves research."

Mang Xing heard his footsteps gradually going away, and said to Da Mu:

"Just take me around our power plant and feel your achievements."

"Of course no problem." Da Mu said, taking the initiative to lead Mang Xing out of the office. "In fact, the biggest change is in the surrounding towns and villages. Electric wires have been laid in the nearby areas, and electric lights have replaced traditional lighting methods, which are cheap and convenient."

"Oh, besides the electric light, did you promote any other devices?"

Mang Xing asked.As an energy source, electricity is only useful if it is actually used in equipment.

"The simplest heating equipment that uses electricity to generate heat has been produced. As for the communication equipment you mentioned, it is still in the research and development stage."

Oki replied that this is also one of the most common applications of electricity in existence in the world.

After hearing this, Mang Xing was a little disappointed: "It's almost summer now, such a result is not good."

Mang Xing, who didn't know where the problem was, decided to go to the research and development area to find out.

So at Mangsing's strong request, he left the office area, and Miyamoto Oki led Mangsing to follow Hayakawa's footsteps to the place where these technicians were conducting research.
