Huaxia Electric Grid

At Tenzhi Technology in Su City Industrial Park.

A banner hung outside Tenzhi Technology's entrance: "A warm welcome to Huaxia Electric Grid..."

Just after 10 a.m., a grand motorcade drove into Su City Industrial Park and headed straight for Tenzhi Technology.

Having received the news, Chen Mengchuan and the others had come downstairs early and were waiting at the entrance.

The motorcade stopped outside Tenzhi Technology, and a group of people filed out.

The Tenzhi Technology staff, led by Xu Shuwei and Sun Zhongyong, stepped forward to greet them. Huaxia Electric Grid had sent quite a large delegation this time. Not only had headquarters dispatched many senior executives, but quite a few general managers and directors from the various regions had also come. In total, there were sixty or seventy people. Three people led the delegation: senior executive Li Zhongxia and two chief technical engineers, Wang Guohui and Bai Jinghua.

After a brief welcome at the entrance, Xu Shuwei and Sun Zhongyong led everyone inside Tenzhi Technology. Discussion tables had already been arranged in the large conference room on the third floor, and everyone entered, taking their seats.

"Manager Xu, Manager Sun, you've truly brought honor to Huaxia this time. A technology that benefits both the country and its people could change the fates of countless Huaxia citizens. Even several of our senior general managers praised Tenzhi." Li Zhongxia, a Huaxia Electric Grid executive in his fifties, had a square, broad face and the air of a plainspoken Shandong man. His simple Huaxia-style outfit made him seem very approachable.

Sun Zhongyong shook his head with a modest smile. "We still have a long way to go. You are the truly great company that benefits the people of Huaxia and brings prosperity to Huaxia."

Chen Mengchuan's lips curled slightly from his seat. Sun Zhongyong had seemed rather restrained when meeting provincial leaders a few days ago, but now he was clearly much more natural and at ease.

After a few more polite exchanges, they got down to business.

"What would Huaxia Electric Grid like Tenzhi to do?" Toni adjusted his glasses and asked.

Li Zhongxia chuckled. "For technical matters, you'll need to ask Manager Wang and Manager Bai. The two of them are Huaxia Electric Grid's most senior and professional chief power engineers."

"Old Wang, Little Bai, you'll need to handle communication on the specific technical aspects." Li Zhongxia smiled at Wang Guohui and Bai Jinghua.

"Manager Xu, Manager Sun, and Mr. Toni, the current power supply distance we've seen for Tenzhi's electrical current transmission technology is 17 meters. But can that distance be increased? And how far can it be increased?" Wang Guohui asked.

Toni glanced at Xu Shuwei before slowly answering, "At present, 17.3 meters is all we can achieve. We're still developing longer-distance transmission. If we succeed, we'll be able to transmit steadily over distances of 50 to 100 meters."

Wang Guohui's body trembled. "Are you confident?"

Toni nodded, and a burst of noisy discussion broke out across the room.

"How much longer will the research take?" Wang Guohui continued.

"If all goes smoothly, we'll achieve wireless electrical current transmission over 50 to 100 meters within one to two months. This is also the second phase of our research plan," Toni said.

Another wave of noisy debate and discussion rose in the room. Many faces showed surprise, delight, and complicated emotions.

"Can we participate?" the younger Bai Jinghua could not help asking.

As soon as he spoke, the room gradually fell quiet.

Just as Toni was about to refuse, Xu Shuwei raised a hand to stop him and replied with a smile, "Manager Bai, our current research plan and progress are already on track. Moreover, these technologies are Tenzhi's core lifeline. Although we would be very willing to have Huaxia Electric Grid participate, we have other, rather complicated considerations. So even if Grid technical personnel joined in, they would not be of much help to our progress."

"Another important reason is that our wireless electrical current transmission technology has been divided into dozens of modules for separate development and advancement. All data results and theoretical data are stored in our core Artificial Intelligence system. This system has a core function: locking and encrypting all of the company's key technologies. Based on this locking and encryption technology, no researcher can access the complete technical information. This allows Tenzhi to effectively prevent the possibility of any technology being leaked or stolen. We believe such core technology is enough to draw the covetous eyes of every major power in the world. Therefore, we must ensure its security and keep it firmly in Tenzhi's hands, in Huaxia's hands," Xu Shuwei said slowly.

"Jinghua." Li Zhongxia smiled and stopped Bai Jinghua before he could continue.

"This is excellent. Technology like this needs exactly this kind of locking and encryption to remain firmly in Huaxia. For Huaxia to produce geniuses like you is Huaxia's pride," Li Zhongxia said with great satisfaction.

"Everyone, before your arrival, we did some preparatory work, including some ideas on how our two companies could cooperate. Next, Toni will explain and present them to everyone," Xu Shuwei said to Li Zhongxia and the others with a smile.

After a few polite remarks, Toni slowly adjusted his glasses and walked over to the large screen.

"Huaxia Electric Grid possesses a vast amount of infrastructure. Without question, this infrastructure is the most essential element in building Huaxia civilization and the foundation of Huaxia's prosperity."

"Of the three core components of Huaxia's current power transmission network—power generation, power transmission, and power distribution—we have drafted multi-phase cooperation plans for all three systems. With our present technological level, we can at most attempt cooperation in the field of power distribution. I'll first introduce this part of the cooperation concept."

"After electricity leaves a power station for residential use in Huaxia, it has to pass through many stages of transmission, distribution, voltage transformation, and supply. Within this process, we can use residential community distribution rooms as nodes to conduct wireless power transmission, supplying electricity to every household within the nearest 50 to 100 meters. This measure can save a tremendous amount of cable laying and wiring while eliminating nearly all risks of electrical leakage. Please look at the screen. For a residential community like this one, covering more than 30,000 square meters, only nine distribution rooms would be needed in the future to provide wireless power to the entire covered area."

"A large hospital like this would need only six distribution rooms to meet all of its electricity needs."

"A large shopping center like this would need only six distribution rooms. The same applies to municipal facilities, high-speed rail stations, subway stations, schools, commercial office buildings, factories, and more. This power distribution system could save Huaxia Electric Grid a tremendous amount in infrastructure costs. The Artificial Intelligence system used by the distribution network can effectively supply power according to electricity usage and prevent or avoid 99% of electric shock accidents," Toni said.

The entire conference room was now filled with hushed discussions. Li Xiazhong calmly watched the concept displayed on the large screen, countless memories stirred within him. Over his thirty years at Huaxia Electric Grid, he had weathered too many storms and witnessed far too many electric shock accidents. Toni's final words—"avoid 99% of electric shock accidents"—were like a massive bronze bell tolling deep within his heart.
