Soon after the Lingli wind turbine was installed, the industrial headquarters and thermal power plant were also completed.
A few days later, electricity was officially supplied to Changping.
The first places to have electricity were the four city walls and the most prosperous commercial street. The cost was funded by the City Lord's Mansion and the major families in the city.
On the day when the electricity was turned on, Zhu Changyang and all the members of the Industrial Sect went to Changping Realm to watch the ceremony. It happened that the course of the demon delegation had just come to an end, so they simply brought dozens of demons with them.
The location of the power-on ceremony was at the north city gate, which was just opposite to Fubiao Mountain. Zhu Changyang and the city lord Fei Shiqian stood on the city wall, and the foot of the wall was filled with people who came to watch the ceremony.
There are people from Changping Realm, foreign merchants, monks passing through the Mortal Realm, many disciples of Baigongmen, demons...
Everyone was looking forward to it. Fei Shiqian gave an order and the staff flipped the switch. In an instant, the four city walls and the central street were lit up as if a fairy had cast a spell.
The people cheered loudly, and even those monks who had experienced a lot and had a wide range of knowledge were secretly amazed.
Li Ying and dozens of demon cultivators stood outside the city, watching the towering city walls light up from afar, and their hearts were moved.
They may have seen electric lights in Baigongmen or the dazzling light show in Shen's Restaurant.
However, when I saw with my own eyes that such a huge city could be lit up in an instant, and thought that the millions of ordinary people in the city would be able to use the light and electricity at will in the future, I still found it incredible.
In the past, the immortal Changming of Yongzhoutian refined the Changming Tiandun, which was able to illuminate an entire city. It was regarded as the supreme magic weapon in the world of cultivation, and Yongzhoutian became one of the two major weapon refining sects in the world.
And now, Zhu Changyang, with his mortal strength, can actually make a city glorious.
After the power-on ceremony was completed, Fei Shiqian and a group of family heads cordially invited Zhu Changyang to a banquet to celebrate.
Zhu Changyang had already made arrangements, so he declined on the grounds that he was busy with sect affairs.
Fei Shiqian couldn't force him, so he could only send Zhu Changyang out of the city with regret.
Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu flew their swords to the Industrial Sect's newly recruited dozen technicians and the demon delegation, and waved their hands proudly: "Come on, brothers, come back to the sect with me and have a party!"
Chang Fengchi and the disciples of Baigongmen followed beside him and raised their hands when they heard this: "We want to go too."
"Of course." Zhu Changyang snapped his fingers. "The guest rooms are ready. I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight."
"Great!" Everyone cheered in unison and rushed onto several animal carts.
The strange beast pulling the cart let out a roar and galloped towards Fubiao Mountain, leaving behind a cloud of dust.
Fubiao Mountain is not far from Changping Prefecture, and soon we entered the newly opened mountain road.
The mountain road was straight, but the scene ahead was a little strange.
Li Ying was sent to drive the car in front. He saw a tall mountain at the end of the road from afar. He couldn't help but frown and shouted to the two people flying swords above: "Principal, Director, why is there a mountain blocking the way? Did we take the wrong road?"
Like other sects, after the construction of the Industrial Sect’s headquarters was completed, a protective magic circle was set up in the surrounding area, which, combined with the magic power of the Mountain and River Plate, formed a protective formation.
Therefore, outsiders are now not allowed to fly in the airspace of the base without permission.
Many sects’ mountain gates are equipped with magical features. For example, there is an abyss outside Yaoyin Pavilion and a sky gate formed by two stone pillars outside Changchun Tower.
Although the entrance to the Eastern Demon Realm is a cliff that reaches the sky, there is a narrow path between the cliffs that can be passed through.
Isn’t it a bit outrageous that the Industrial Sect built the road into the mountain directly in front of a mountain
Li Ying himself can shrink the distance into an inch, but there are still several cars of people.
"Oh, don't worry, I have a secret." Zhu Changyang smiled, looked intently at the mountain in front of him, made an Iron Man open palm gesture, and said seriously, "Makabaka."
As he finished speaking, a soft "buzzing" sound was heard in front of him. At the foot of the mountain, two stone walls slowly moved aside, revealing an arched tunnel.
"?" Li Ying was stunned, and asked, "Principal, what magic did you use?"
He clearly didn't feel any fluctuations in spiritual power just now, so how come the two mountain walls moved away
What kind of magic formula is "Makabaka" and why is it so strange
Zhu Changyang laughed loudly: "Of course it's scientific, this is an electric door."
He spread out his hands, revealing a remote control in his hand, and said, "The real password is actually 0621."
Li Ying: “…”
Zhu Changyang laughed and said, "It's cheaper to use electricity than to use magic. Our sect is just starting out, so we should save as much as possible."
No matter which world it is in, the investment in infrastructure is huge. Especially in the construction of sects in the cultivation world, many of them require the use of magic.
The sect's protective array and spiritual materials are all very expensive.
Fortunately, with the opening of the power plant, I will have a stable livelihood.
But for now, we still have to spend money frugally, so apart from some necessary protections such as the sect protection array, Zhu Changyang tried his best to solve the rest in his own way.
What the industrial sector lacks the least right now is electricity.
As for this tunnel, it is purely from an economic perspective. According to the current thinking of the world, if the mountains are blocked, the only way is to take a detour.
As a Chinese with infrastructure genes, Zhu Changyang chose to dig a tunnel without hesitation. After all, there will be many ordinary people in the mortal realm coming and going to the power plant in the future. They are not like monks who can shrink the distance into an inch and travel thousands of miles a day.
The tunnel is very long, but it is not dark and difficult to walk in, because there is a row of light bulbs installed on the top of the tunnel, which can just illuminate the way ahead.
Everyone in the car crowded around the window, looking out curiously, and finally saw a faint light coming in from the end. The strange beast raised its hoof and ran out of the tunnel.
Suddenly the view became clear.
In the wide and flat valley, brand new buildings were rising from the ground.
The Industrial Sect’s headquarters building is divided into two parts. The main part is the same as other sects, mainly meeting the needs of daily life, study, trials, etc.
To put it simply, it includes dormitories, canteens, teaching buildings and playgrounds, etc.
The other part is the power plant, which is separated from the school by a small hill and is also connected by a tunnel.
The exterior styles of all the buildings are consistent with those of the cultivation world. They are low-key but beautiful Chinese classical buildings with flying eaves, green tiles and red roofs, and an antique style.
The tall pillars, beams and floor slabs are mostly made of cement, and the windows are all made of clear glazed glass.
Under the sunlight, you can vaguely see the dazzling brilliance.
In addition, the buildings are equipped with basic facilities such as electric lights, running water, and water heaters. Even the roads between the main places are lined with pillars and street lights.
A lot of thought was also put into greening, especially next to the power plant. Zhu Changyang specially transplanted some golden moss from the shore of Yujing Lake to deal with the pollution generated by power generation.
Judging from the scale alone, the Industrial Sect is far inferior to the famous sects and can only be regarded as a small industrial park.
However, its living convenience and comfort are far superior and cannot be compared with other sects.
The party will be held in the open space in front of the main building's auditorium and will be in the form of a buffet.
This time we also got a barbecue grill, and when the seasoning made from crow bones was sprinkled on it, the aroma filled the entire valley.
The demons, disciples of the Hundred Craftsmen Sect, and the newly recruited technicians of the Industrial Sect all gathered together, laughing and talking happily.
As the Golden Crow sank, lights lit up in the valley, reflecting the distant Changping Realm.
Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu sat side by side on a huge rock on the top of the mountain, looking at the tiny stars lighting up in the dark night.
The mountain breeze blows, the dream butterflies flutter, it is like a dream.
.
The news of the electricity supply in Changping quickly spread to other mortal cities along with the merchants traveling far and wide.
People who have been to Changping describe vividly the peculiarity and prosperity of the city and how convenient it is to live there.
The name of the Industrial Sect spread quickly among mortals, attracting more people to Changping Realm to find out what was going on, which further promoted the economy of the largest mortal city in the Nine Realms.
Other cities were all jealous, and each city lord tried every means to get in touch with Zhu Changyang, hoping to invite the Industrial Sect to open a branch in their local area.
For a time, Zhu Changyang's popularity in the mortal realm was higher than that of the famous immortal masters of famous sects.
However, it is no easier to contact Zhu Changyang nowadays than to contact the leaders of other major sects. Shortly after the electricity was connected to Changping Realm, the organizing committee of the sect competition officially announced the schedule for this year.
The process of this competition is roughly the same as previous competitions, divided into two stages: the preliminary round and the final round. The preliminary round is a one-month points competition, and the top 1,000 points will enter the final round.
The difference is that the points competition in previous years was an arena battle, but this year it was changed to a monster hunting competition, and the location was the last forbidden area in Piaomiao Continent - Weiming Domain.
There are nine domains in Piaomiao Continent, two of which are occupied by demons, one by monsters, and five by mortals and righteous monks.
The last remaining area is in an excellent location, right in the center of the continent, connecting to Changping Realm and Yongzhou Heaven, and not far from Cangbo City and Tunchuan Mountain. However, no sect has ever set foot there, and no living creature has lived there for a long time, so it has not yet been named.
There is a forbidden formation in the Unnamed Domain that was left behind ten thousand years ago. It is full of obstacles and extremely dangerous. Not to mention mortals, even cultivators who stay in it for too long will lose their minds and even be swallowed by the forbidden formation and disappear.
Therefore, for thousands of years, the Unnamed Domain has been regarded by everyone as an inaccessible forbidden area.
But since a few months ago, the areas bordering the Unnamed Domain have been frequently attacked by monsters. Those monsters are very brutal, plundering and eating people, destroying land and slaughtering villages, and have become a huge disaster.
There were even high-level monsters above the Nascent Soul stage that appeared and killed several cultivators.
After investigation, various sects learned that those monsters all escaped from the Demon Realm, and their number is very large, roughly estimated to be at least several thousand, and they are currently hiding in the Unnamed Realm.
This news immediately attracted the attention of all factions, as the rebellion of monsters and beasts was never a trivial matter.
For many years, the human race and the demon realm have guarded their respective territories and kept to themselves. Now that the demon realm has taken the lead in breaking this taboo, I am afraid that the balance between the two races will be broken.
The most urgent task is to deal with the monsters in the Unnamed Domain.
As everyone knows, we cannot stay in the Weiming Domain for long. The monsters hiding in it must be just a temporary measure. I am afraid that it will not be long before those monsters will come out in full force.
Thousands of monsters are comparable to an army. Once they pour out of the Unnamed Domain and enter the mortal realm, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, after some discussion among the various sects, it was decided to set the points competition for this competition in the Unnamed Domain. Contestants would gain points by hunting monsters, and finally enter the finals according to their ranking based on the points.
Hunting monsters is much more dangerous than ordinary boxing matches. After all, if you can't beat a person in a fight, you can admit defeat, but monsters are not so humane.
Therefore, after learning the news, Zhu Changyang began intensive pre-match preparations.
At the same time, the first Demon Realm delegation finally graduated and prepared to return to the Demon Realm.
Some of these demons focus on down jackets, some focus on instant noodles, and some focus on equipment manufacturing and maintenance.
Another twenty people continue to stay in Industrial Group to assist in the operation and after-sales service of Industrial Group's various businesses.
Zhu Changyang prepared a batch of equipment for the returning demons, including sewing machines and filling machines needed to produce down jackets, and multi-layer noodle steaming machines to improve the efficiency of instant noodle production.
Jun Shu sent the list of equipment to Dong Yaoyan, and Dong Yaoyan very tactfully sent someone to deliver another batch of spirit stones.
Unfortunately, the production of instant noodles requires a large amount of oil, which is still a relatively scarce commodity in this era. This will limit the production of instant noodles in the short term.
On the day of graduation, all the demons were reluctant to leave.
Li Ying's eyes were filled with tears. He hugged the developer tightly to his chest and cried with joy: "Miss, we are finally going to separate."
He has waited for this day for too long!
The developer pushed his chin with his paw in disgust: "Meow meow meow!"
Humph, I don’t like you!
Li Ying cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He even sucked on the cat's paw hypocritically, "I can't bear to part with you!"
Zhu Changyang glanced at him and said, "Don't be reluctant. Your sentence is not over yet. The others will go back to the Demon Realm first. You have to stay and continue to operate the sewing machine."
Li Ying was stunned: "No—"
The author has something to say:
Li Ying: The cat is crying.
The password for the Industrial Sect gate is 0621. Welcome to come and play at any time.
