The Arrival of the Electrical Age
The building didn't look very big from the outside, but once Shi Zhenghao and Yi Xuan entered, they discovered that it was much larger than it appeared from the outside.
At least from the outside, you can't see the underground floors; even Shi Zhenghao only discovered them after he came in for a visit.
Walking beside Zhuo Ning Yi Xuan, Zhuo Ning looked around curiously and asked, "Is this the place you were talking about? It's called... what was it again?"
"Nuclear power plant!"
"Yes, a nuclear power plant! Is this place really as useful as you say?"
Hearing Zhuo Ning's words, Yi Xuan rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "I remember Liang Shi trained you, right? Although the training that No. 01 gave you was more of a science popularization session, you shouldn't have forgotten everything, right? Think about it carefully, No. 01 should have introduced some relevant knowledge about nuclear power plants, right?"
Unfortunately, for a poor student like Zhuo Ning, there was no difference between being taught and not being taught. Seeing the other's confused look, Yi Xuan could only shake his head helplessly and continue walking towards the control room of the nuclear power plant.
As the group moved forward, the entire nuclear power plant gradually came into view.
Unlike Yi Xuan's other bases, this nuclear power plant, although equipped with a large number of robots, still saw quite a few human figures as the group walked.
These people showed no reaction to Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao, but they all looked excited when they saw Zhuo Ning, and some even knelt down from a distance.
These people who were assigned to work at the nuclear power plant were all from within the Xia Kingdom; they were the first batch of skilled workers trained by the technical school Yi Xuan.
Therefore, these people were very excited when they saw Zhuo Ning, after all, Zhuo Ning was not only their emperor, but also the savior of the entire Xia Kingdom.
Of course, these technicians had just graduated from technical school and actually had no ability to operate a nuclear power plant.
Yi Xuan's original intention in transferring them here was not to have them operate the nuclear power plant equipment, but to have them as apprentices.
The actual operators of the nuclear power plant are still Yi Xuan's robots, except that Yi Xuan has assigned a technician as an apprentice to each robot.
These technicians learn how to operate a nuclear power plant from the robots, while the robots also subtly impart their knowledge of nuclear engineering to them.
Although these technicians may not be of much help to Yi Xuan now, Yi Xuan believes that they will soon become his strong support team!
Yi Xuan led the group to the main control room of the nuclear power plant.
In the main control room, over thirty Pangu were busily working, each with a tagalong following them, which looked quite comical.
When Zhuo Ning walked in, all the followers turned their attention to him.
No one knows who started it, but one by one, those sycophants knelt down and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"
In other situations, Zhuo Ning wouldn't have felt anything was wrong.
But with Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao right beside him, Zhuo Ning was incredibly embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Shi Zhenghao kept adding fuel to the fire, "Not bad, Zhuo Ning, becoming emperor really makes a difference!"
The technicians kneeling on the ground looked up at Zhuo Ning after hearing Shi Zhenghao's words, and at the same time noticed Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao beside Zhuo Ning.
Although they didn't know who these two people were, how could anyone who could walk alongside their emperor be an ordinary person? So everyone quickly lowered their heads.
Zhuo Ning looked at the crowd kneeling on the ground, then at Yi Xuan. He was about to introduce Yi Xuan when he saw the other person shake his head, so he could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Yi Xuan went straight to the main control screen, looked at the data on the screen, and asked, "How is the situation?"
Upon hearing Yi Xuan's question, the robot beside him immediately replied, "Boss, the overall situation is good. The reaction chamber has been inspected and is ready to begin!"
Yi Xuan nodded and immediately commanded, "Begin!"
Following Yi Xuan's command, the robots in the control room began to work busily.
The technicians, who were kneeling on the ground, saw that their robot master had started to move, and they couldn't continue kneeling. They quickly apologized to Zhuo Ning and followed behind their master.
Once all the work was completed, a series of mechanical voices echoed through the hall, "Five, four, three, two, one, start!"
Then, the entire control room fell silent. The technicians noticed that the robot operators, who had been working non-stop, suddenly stopped and stared intently at the data on their respective screens.
The data seemed like gibberish to them, a dizzying mess.
But it was perfectly clear to those robots.
At this moment, Yi Xuan was also staring intently at the large screen in the main control room. Various data were constantly changing on the screen, and Yi Xuan was using this data to assess the situation of this nuclear fusion.
Finally, when the data on the screen stabilized, Yi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhuo Ning not far away, smiling as he said, "No problem. From today onwards, Xia Kingdom enters the electric age!"
Zhuo Ning was also excited when she heard Yi Xuan's words. "So all those things you installed called electric lights can finally be put to use?"
Yi Xuan laughed and said, "Think long-term. It's not just about electric lights. Believe me, in less than a year, Xia Kingdom will be so different that you won't recognize it!"
In the imperial city of the Xia Kingdom, it was already close to eight o'clock in the evening. Many shops in the city had already closed, and there were not many people left on the streets.
But just as the time came to eight o'clock, the entire capital city suddenly became as bright as day, and all the electric lights that the people had previously considered mere decorations suddenly turned on.
Many people took to the streets, looking at the streetlights that resembled little suns with great curiosity.
The children who hadn't gone to sleep yet were also completely excited by the streetlights, and they started playing around them in groups of three or five.
Many scholars who were studying late into the night discovered that the streetlights were brighter than the candlelight in their homes, so they also took their books and went out into the streets.
The streetlights in the Xia Kingdom's capital city not only attracted the attention of the city's residents, but even several villages near the capital could see the brightly lit capital from afar.
Many farmers thought there was some kind of event happening in the capital that night. In this era of limited entertainment, everyone likes to join in the fun when something like this happens.
So the villagers, along with their families, stayed up all night and headed to the imperial city to see what kind of event was taking place there.
Upon arriving in the capital, they were utterly astonished. Seeing the streetlights that illuminated the capital as bright as day, the farmers knelt before them, shouting "Long live the Emperor!"
The next day, rumors even began to circulate throughout the Xia Kingdom that Zhuo Ning was a god descended from heaven, capable of making the sun fall into the imperial city at night.
