Chapter 810: Interlude Five

Views:

On the fourth day after returning from the time travel, the equipment was finally ready.

To be precise, the experimental prototype had been built long ago, but the parameters had never been input because the time traveler had never appeared.

Now that we have obtained Ask's body tissue, through analysis and decoding at the quantum level, we have finally obtained the corresponding parameters.

Then the parameters are input into the transmission device and then debugged.

Ask was also very excited about this. After all, four days passed here, which meant four years had passed there.

Although the lifespan of a demigod is endless and a few years is nothing, it would be good to be able to go back earlier.

It's better than staying in this underground base all day.

After debugging the equipment and confirming the transmission coordinates, another problem was discovered:

Not enough energy.

To be precise, it takes about 500,000 kWh of electricity to deliver a 100kg object to the other side.

People who have no idea about power resources may not understand the meaning. To put it in a more specific way, the average power consumption per minute in S City, the most economically developed city in the country, is now (2077) 1.3 million kWh…

In other words, if all the electricity in City S is turned off for half a minute, all the electricity saved would probably be enough to send a fat man across.

In fact, even if the power is turned off, the saved electricity cannot be stored, so the calculation and scheduling here is very troublesome.

The first list to be sent over has been finalized: Ask (a key figure), Comrade Mao Zhongwei from the security department, Comrade Yu Ziwen from the diplomatic department, and Academician Shao Qiangang from the Academy of Sciences.

Bodyguards were originally arranged, but considering the horrific power consumption, all security personnel had to be deleted from the list. The corresponding work in this regard was handed over to Comrade Ask.

The total mass of all people is 260kg, and the electricity consumption is about 1.3 million kWh.

Therefore, the higher-ups called in a group of experts from the power grid to discuss the issue. After research, the expert group from the power grid said that your device consumes power instantly, and the power consumption during transmission is simply sky-high - based on the current total installed power generation capacity in the country, it would take two-thirds of the country's power generation to be supplied here.

It is definitely impossible to supply two-thirds of the country's electricity. How many factories would have to shut down? So a big boss said that he had a secret project. The transmission could be suspended on the day and electricity could be temporarily supplied here.

After all, it is a top-secret project. The expert group on the power grid side is definitely not aware of the electricity consumption. You can recalculate it after adding it in.

After recalculating, I found that there were still many gaps to be cut, and then another big boss said, I also have a top-secret project here...

So the big guys pieced together a little bit at a time and finally managed to plug the power gap. There was only a little left, and they cut off the power supply in the nearest city, H. That was enough!

Of course, such a large instantaneous power supply also has additional requirements for transmission equipment, lines, etc. However, it is 2077 after all. In addition to the hard requirement of power shortage, all the technical difficulties that seemed impossible to achieve 50 years ago are not a problem now.

Therefore, the corresponding plan was quickly finalized: In terms of scheduling and arrangement issues, it was decided to carry out several experimental transmissions of small-mass objects tomorrow. Of course, H City would also have to shut down the power supply several times. In addition to making up for the power gap required for the experimental transmission, it was also to allow the citizens of H City to get used to it in advance.
