Chapter 237
A vendor selling sugar gourds on the street couldn't help but come up and proudly introduce when he heard the words of the traveling merchant in the Western Regions,
"These workers are on the orders of our Great Qin Dingguohou, erecting telephone poles and pulling wires!"
"What are wires for?"
Seeing that the Western Regions Wanderer didn't know anything, the peddler showed a smile on his face and said,
"Hehe, you don't know that, do you?"
"I also heard from my neighbors who worked on the construction team, and I heard that they are still building a power plant!"
"When these wires are pulled, the power plant is built, and the electricity is connected, then the whole Xianyang City will no longer use oil lamps at night!
Listening to the hawker's words, the more they listened, the more confused they became, and said with surprise on their faces,
"Electric light? You mean electric lighting? How is that possible?"
Faced with the doubts of the traveling merchants in the Western Regions, the peddler pursed his lips disdainfully, glanced at a few people, and said,
"Why is it impossible?"
"What can I say I can do, what can't I do?"
"It's in vain that you are still going south and north one by one, I really don't know anything!"
After speaking, he returned to the street, ignored a few people, and continued to shout for sugar gourds.
......
The work of pulling the wires was carried out in an orderly manner, and the power plant was soon completed with the efforts of the workers!
Before you know it, two months have passed.
On this day, Ying Zheng and Li Si came to Dingguo Houfu, and they wanted to have tea with He Chao to understand the progress of He Chao's work.
But I learned from Xiao Xiangxiang that He Chao hadn't returned home for two days and had been staying at the power plant!
Stroking Xiao Xiangxiang's head twice with a smile, Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si with a smile again, and said,
"Ho! I didn't expect this kid He Chao to fight so hard!"
Li Si also had a smile on his face, and said with admiration in his tone,
"Your Majesty's son-in-law is a blessing for Your Majesty!"
"The people of Great Qin have such an official, it is the blessing of the people of Great Qin!"
Listening to Li Si's unexaggerated praise for He Chao, Ying Zheng nodded his head again and again, and said,
"Since He Chao came out of the cottage, in the past few years, he has really established too many great achievements for Daqin!"
"It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in the ages!"
"Let's go! The Prime Minister will go to the power plant with me to see how the power plant built by my virtuous son-in-law is progressing!"
With that, the two drove to the power plant in a car.
At this time, He Chao was directing the workers to carry out the first trial operation of the power plant after it was completed!
"Old Xu Tou, tell your subordinates to shovel coal quickly!
"Yes!
He Chao ignored the high temperature of the boiler room and carefully estimated the coal consumption required by the boiler for one hour.
Then he picked up the handkerchief on his shoulder, wiped the sweat on his face, recorded the required data, and walked to the position of the steam turbine.
I didn't take a few steps when I heard a shout outside—
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
He Chao was about to tidy up and go out to greet him, but saw that Yingzheng had already strode in with a smile accompanied by Prime Minister Li Si!
Seeing He Chao's hot sweaty and gray face,
At first glance, you can see that it is a lot of bad sins!
Ying Zheng stretched out one, gently dusted off the soot on He Chao's shoulder, and said with emotion,
"It's hard work for a virtuous son-in-law to look like this!"
When Li Si saw He Chao like this, he was even more in awe of He Chao in his heart!
"Why does Master Hou have to do everything himself, these dirty and tiring jobs are left to his subordinates to do. "
He Chao smiled and waved his hand,
"Father-in-law, prime minister, you don't know anything!"
"Today is the first test run of our power plant, and the workers are not very familiar with how the power plant works, so I have to teach them myself!"
Ying Zheng nodded when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that He Chao said that the power plant was in trial operation for the first time, and his face couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and asked,
"Oh, is the power plant ready to work?"
"Virtuous son-in-law!"
"Tell me and the prime minister how this power plant generates electricity?"
He Chao immediately led Ying Zheng and Li Si to the boiler room and introduced,
"The power plant I built is called a thermal power plant!"
"As the name suggests, a thermal power plant uses the heat obtained from burning coal to generate electricity!"
"To put it simply, it is to put coal under the boiler we see now, and the coal is burned to produce heat energy, which heats the water in the boiler into steam!"
"This is the same principle as the steam train..."
Listen to He Chao compare the working principle of the power plant with that of a steam train,
Ying Zheng and Li Si suddenly understood a general idea, and nodded in understanding, and at the same time, they tacitly did not interject, and listened carefully to He Chao continued,
"But the difference is that we have an extra generator here!"
As he spoke, He Chao led the two of them to the generator and said,
"Steam thermal energy drives the steam turbine to do work, and after converting the thermal energy into mechanical energy, the mechanical energy will be converted into the electrical energy we need through the generator in front of us!"
"This is the whole process of generating electricity in our thermal power plant!"
After He Chao finished speaking, Ying Zheng and Li Si suddenly showed surprise on their faces, and sighed,
"It's incredible!"
"This generator is really an artifact!"
"But..."
Ying Zheng pointed to the generator road in front of him,
"Can this machine really make the whole Xianyang use electric lights at the same time?"
Looking at Ying Zheng's shocked expression, He Chao smiled proudly,
"Father-in-law, don't worry, don't say that the whole Xianyang uses electric lights!"
"Even if my son-in-law invents some other electrical appliances in the future, our power plant will also be able to supply it!"
Seeing He Chao's confident and confident appearance,
Ying Zheng's mind suddenly appeared a month later, the entire Xianyang City was lit up at night!
"Wonderful!
"I'm excited now just thinking about the lights all over the city a month from now!"
"Son-in-law, hurry up and get this matter done!"
After that, he seemed to think of something, looked at He Chao with a playful face, but his tone was full of concern, and said,
"But don't work so hard!"
"I heard Xiao Xiangxiang say that you haven't been home for two days!
"It's almost busy today, you just put aside the work at hand and go home at night to accompany your wife and children!"
"Come on, you can put 10,000 hearts, father-in-law!"
"I can't bear to snub my wife and children at home~!"
“......"
......
In the blink of an eye, another week has passed!
At this time, the poles and wires in the entire Xianyang City have been erected!
He Chao's work is almost busy!
Just as He Chao was playing with his wife and children in the house this day,
The housekeeper in the house stepped forward with the brewed tea and said respectfully,
"Master Hou, there's news from the auto factory that your latest customized convertible has been made!"
