To ordinary people in the Cultivation World, a Spirit Stone Generator was undoubtedly far more prestigious than a diesel generator.
Yet in the eyes of Blue Star people, diesel generators were more economical than Spirit Stone Generators, while generating electricity with Spirit Stones cost more.
Fine, that was under the exchange rate dominated by Feng Jun. With a different Spirit Stone exchange rate, things might not be the same.
But in truth, Feng Jun also felt that generating electricity with Spirit Stones was rather costly. It had been calculated before: diesel generators were even more economically efficient than Spirit Stone Generators. The age of heavy industry seemed to be arriving unstoppably.
But was that really the case? Feng Jun did not think so. The main reason was that the Phone Plane was still in the early stages of its industrial revolution.
That was his judgment. It might not have been accurate, but that was indeed what he believed.
The relatively low-end form of energy conversion was the Boiler Engine, but current Boiler Engines were already enough to handle daily lighting and communication needs. They could even provide such relatively extravagant services as cooling and heating.
Beyond that came more high-end demands for environmental improvement, such as streetlights. At that point, Boiler Engines were somewhat inadequate, though the contradiction could still be adjusted.
When did electricity truly become insufficient? When industrial production reached a certain scale.
In short, in the age of heavy industry, even diesel generators were an uneconomical means of generating power.
Feng Jun did not take Dragon Wanderer seriously, nor did he fear that the man would steal his business. But secretly coveting his industries was far too vile a move. He had to respond.
So instead of answering, he asked, "Dragon Wanderer just left like that? Does
