Chapter 821: Changes in Luoling Stream
The construction of Luolingjian is very smooth, and the installation of a windmill is a technical job, but compared to the difficulty of manufacturing it, simple splicing work is not a difficult task for the team led by Cui Yiye.
It is quite difficult to install the huge fan blade. Fortunately, there are many people and powerful people, and there are scaffolding provided by Wang Laoliu. Everything goes smoothly. Within five days, thirty windmills have been spliced.
Five meters tall, pure white windmills are arranged in an interlaced manner, standing on the north and south sides of Luoling Stream.
In the center where the wind is relatively gentle, a wooden attic with the [Electric Power Department] has also risen.
Thousands of skilled carpenters have created architectural miracles in five days. On the roof of a three-story attic, a weather vane carved into the shape of a phoenix bird is constantly swaying with the wind...
Xi Yunfei stood downstairs, staring at the wind vane in a daze. Soon, Ma Zhou came over with a few managers.
Xi Yunfei asked about the Chang'an City Office, and after receiving Ma Zhou's reply, he highly praised his methods.
Changsun Wuji, the uncle of the country, should thank Ma Zhou well. Even if he made money and favors, ordinary people could not handle things so perfectly.
Of course, if Xi Yunfei knew that Ma Zhou was poached by Changsun Wuji yesterday, he would probably despise Changsun Wuji... My people have helped you a lot, are you embarrassed to poach my people?
Not to mention, Changsun Wuji is really embarrassed.
When he returned that day, he went to the palace to meet Li Shimin and praised Ma Zhou as if it was in heaven and in the ground, which made Li Shimin more and more fond of Ma Zhou. You must know that when he went to Shuofang, Ma Zhou was receiving him.
For Li Shimin, Shuo was able to achieve this today, and Ma Zhou, the big manager, made great contributions.
And this kid Xi Yunfei is nothing more than some strange and lewd skills. If he wants to manage a huge Shuofang City, he is probably not as competent as any seventh-rank official in Chang'an.
Back at Luolingjian, Xi Yunfei, under the guidance of Ma Zhou, visited the Electric Power Department roughly.
The construction of wind power plants is not just about erecting a strong windmill.
In addition to windmills, a power plant also needs: large transformers, collector lines, high-voltage configuration devices, etc.
As for many people, why do power plants have no batteries that store electricity?
In fact, the alternating current we use cannot be stored. The only thing that the power plant can store is energy, that is, the energy that generates electricity. For example, hydropower is used to store flood peaks. When a large amount of electricity is needed, the gate will be opened and water will be released.
For wind power generation, when there is wind, the power of the wind power generator is rectified through transformer, and then the battery is charged. When the wind power weakens or disappears, the battery is discharged to drive the low-voltage electrical appliances, or the inverter is used to supply power to the motor.
So, on the surface, this three-story wooden loft seems to be no different from the buildings in Chang'an.
In fact, if you walk into the lobby on the first floor, you will find that it has become a cross-age office area.
Cui Yiye and Changsun Chong, two young men from the aristocratic families, were crowded with more than a dozen of their peers and a bunch of machines.
The two of them had a little disheveled appearance at this time, their long gowns were covered with oil, their originally fair faces had changed a lot, and their eyes were covered with blood. I think they were all very tired these days.
Xi Yunfei's arrival did not attract their attention. The noise from the relay stations, transformers and radiators was already very loud.
Xi Yunfei took the earmuffs handed over by Ma Zhou and wore them on his ears to isolate some of the noise.
Ma Zhou also wore one, pointed at Cui Yiye and his party, and then pointed at himself and Xi Yunfei, indicating whether to go over and say hello.
Xi Yunfei shook his head and did not speak. In such an environment, body language is more practical than speaking.
Ma Zhou nodded slightly and walked directly to a cycling wooden ladder in the corner with Xi Yunfei.
The two climbed to the second floor. The space on the second floor was similar to that on the first floor. Several craftsmen were carrying out the final repair. When they saw Ma Zhou coming up, they hurriedly stopped the work at hand and paid attention to the salute.
Ma Zhou waved his hand at them and took Xi Yunfei to continue to go up the third floor.
The third floor is the office of the Electric Power Department. As soon as Xi Yunfei came up, he saw Princess Pingyang sitting behind a wooden table with papers on it. A female guard was grinding ink beside her. When she saw Xi Yunfei and Ma Zhou coming up, she reached out to touch Li Xiuning.
"You guys are here!"
Although Li Xiuning's voice was as loud as possible, Xi Yunfei, who took off his earmuffs, still couldn't hear it clearly.
She could only smile and nodded according to her mouth shape, and then said, "Why didn't Your Highness work at the dock first? The noise downstairs is too noisy. It's not too late to move in after the next office building is built."
Li Xiuning slightly rectified the paper and pen in front of him, stood up, and shrugged his sore shoulders slightly.
After passing the desk and opening the window, a breeze broke in with the noise downstairs.
I have to say that the air in this place is really good, because it was the pasture of Changsun’s family. On the verdant grass that could not be seen at first sight, dozens of windmills slowly turned, which looked particularly pleasing to the eye.
Li Xiuning looked at the spinning windmills and said with a smile: "I like this place very much. Watching these windmills turn around every day, my originally depressed mood can calm down. Are you thinking that God is not magical?"
Xi Yunfei also walked to the windowsill and looked at the magnificent scenery in front of him. He couldn't help but think of a travel advertisement I saw on TV in his previous life.
The continuous windmills on the hillside slowly rotate, the afterglow of the setting sun spreads over the green grass, and cattle and sheep wander around the stream.
It was the most beautiful wind in China. The season when little daisies bloomed. The winding highways were full of tourists...
"It's very beautiful. After you say this, I want to build a villa here, hahaha!"
Xi Yunfei is taking pictures of the idea of building a tourist resort. People in this era have a problem of food and clothing, so where can they get the money to take a vacation?
But I, if I can, wait until the power plant is completely completed, and by the way, I will ask Uncle Liu to build a small yard on the hillside.
When you have nothing to do, you can make a few friends, cook tea and see the scenery, which is also a different kind of enjoyment.
Just as Princess Pingyang said, the scenery you see is beautiful, and the mood will naturally become more beautiful. To put it more professionally, it is called decompression.
After hearing Xi Yunfei's casual words, Li Xiuning's face showed a little bit of consciousness.
"Erlang's suggestion is good. Looking back, I will build a small courtyard here. It doesn't need to be too big. It's better to come here occasionally to stay for a few nights... What do you think about that place? It just can overlook the entire Luoling River..."
Looking at Li Xiuning who was in a state of excitement, Xi Yunfei and Ma Zhou looked at each other and smiled. When a woman became impulsive, there was nothing to do with a man.
Especially rich women!
Xi Yunfei did not interrupt Li Xiuning's sudden whim. She waited until she calmed down and said, "Your Highness, I want to talk to you about the promotion arrangements of the Electric Power Department."
Li Xiuning's face was slightly stunned, "Does the Electric Power Department still want to promote it?"
Xi Yunfei nodded and smiled, "Of course, not only to promote it, but also to handle it in a large and special way, so that everyone in the world knows the existence of the Electric Power Department. Only in this way can the popularization of electricity be accelerated..."
