Therefore, under the proposal of the prime minister, various university power companies and electrical manufacturing companies responded by holding a power standard conference. After scientific research and extensive social data collation, it was decided to stipulate that 250 voltages are civilian voltages and [-] voltages are industrial voltages. The two voltages can float up and down by [-]. ten out of ten

After the unification of the voltage standard conference, a wide range of basic conditions for application began to be established. Afterwards, electric lights entered thousands of households from Xianyang Palace. Electric poles were erected everywhere in Xianyang. In order to speed up the progress, Xianyang first divided the blocks and then popularized electric wires according to the blocks.

In the following days, block by block in the old city was electrified, and electric lights were popularized. Considering the convenience of travel and night inspections, street lights began to be set up at the road poles, and then trams appeared. As the schedule draws to a close, the night of Qin is no longer. The darkness is shrouded, but the lights are bright. At night, people will sit under the lights, read books, chat, eat or find some new entertainment activities.

Playing poker has become a recreational activity. Although billiards is good, the space is too large and the age acceptance is limited. Especially after the advent of electric lights, people's nightlife gradually enriches. Poker is one of the games that Yingyu finds Shangwen to play at night. Soon this kind of game Even the king of Qin will summon the concubine according to his card skills

The popularization of electric lights, especially after the appearance of street lights, Xianyang ended the era of darkness at night for the first time. People began to walk on the streets in the dark. The curfew was postponed for an hour. Even so, people still felt that it was inconvenient, so the curfew was abolished after discussion.

The hotel started to open at night, in order to attract the sound, the lampshade was made of colored paper and turned into colorful Shangwen lights, and the appearance of theaters, especially operas, suddenly enriched the night life of Qin people. People began to like night life. Night is no longer an era of sleep.

The night market has become one of the important markets in Qin State. As long as there are street lights, everywhere in Qin State is as lively as during the day.

Under the illumination of thousands of lights, Xianyang has become a city that never sleeps. The highly developed business and the illumination of the lights make Xianyang an international metropolis. Including the new urban area, the urban population living in Xianyang is close to 90, and it is still a long way from 100 million. It won't take long to arrive quickly because there are still many people entering Xianyang from the countryside

The Zhao people who work part-time do business, the Koreans come to the city, and the Chu people make local Chu snacks. The Chu girls dance gracefully on the stage and are applauded by others. Of course, they also have generous rewards.

Nightlife benefited from electric lights Electric lights let people get rid of the troubles of darkness at night Driven by the city of Xianyang, the surrounding areas began to popularize electric lights, and then the whole Guanzhong

609 Radio Technology

Time is slowly entering April, and the Allied armies far away in the Western Regions are rushing to the combat area. The roads are crowded with various supplies and vehicles. They transport various supplies, including new artillery shells, supplies, and a large number of paratroopers. The airship flies back and forth, and there are soldiers wearing different military uniforms everywhere

"Hurry up, hurry up, we have to kick those western regions before they retreat, hurry up!" a sergeant shouted loudly. A group of soldiers in paratrooper uniforms boarded the airship. They were soldiers from the Qin Army's first paratrooper company. It's one of the miracles of war to be parachuted into the enemy's rear when the counterattack starts their commander told them but the soldiers didn't think so

"It's not bad if you don't break your leg when you parachute," a paratrooper complained. They not only parachuted by themselves, but also taught those Zhao people and Koreans how to parachute. There were more than 1000 people participating in the parachute training, but in the end only two paratroopers were formed. A lot of guys break their legs while skydiving training sucks

They learn to parachute in a temporary paratrooper training center. Many of the equipment are temporary organizations, and the weather here is very cold. The muscles are very stiff, so the movements are not standardized, and the ground is too hard. Many people broke their legs. Even those old paratroopers In the end, the time was too tight. Each person parachuted twice and barely passed. After a day of rest, he had to take an airship to transfer to the front line.

And there are many assault paratroopers below them. Their training is how to fight in an airship. After the airship lands on the ground, they have to rush out of the airship in the first time. In order to increase the rate of fire, they have specially issued a new type of rotating rear pull rifle. This rifle is almost the same as the Mauser rifle, and the ammunition capacity has been improved. It can be loaded with five rounds. There is also a non-detachable type that can be loaded with eight rounds of ammunition.

The supply on the ground is also very tight. The reason is that a large number of artillery shells need to be prepared for counterattack, which requires a large amount of artillery shells. The carrying capacity of the carriage is really limited. The task of hoarding [-] shi shells is still difficult to complete because the roads are full of people.

Not only artillery shells, but also a large number of aerial bombs. The sky army is going to carry out large-scale air strikes. There is also a lack of aerial bombs, otherwise they will use the method of throwing stones to bomb the coalition forces in the Western Regions.

The high-level executives are nervously revising the final battle plan. They named it the "Right Iron Fist" operation, and there is no movement in the entire North Western Region, but a "Left Iron Fist" operation plan has been handed in. Qin State stretched out two big iron fists to conquer the Western Region include it

All these changes were spread through telegrams. Considering the translation of telegrams, the King of Qin is ordering to make phone calls on the front lines of the Western Regions in order to keep abreast of the situation and set up a joint press conference on the Western Regions.

Qin State is busy with various constructions in the new city. Yingyu wants to build a ten-story building. If it is completed, this building will be the same height as the main hall in Xianyang Palace. In fact, in Yingyu's heart, she wants to build a bigger and taller building. because of her financial resources no one can compare

The modular railway and bridge engineering system is in rapid use, and the highway and railway to the south is under intensive construction. The number of slaves has been recruited, but the number is still not enough. Therefore, a newly established department of the Ministry of Engineering of the State of Qin is mainly used to manage various engineering projects. Had to order major construction companies to use machinery and equipment or recruit local people for construction, which greatly solved the local employment problem

In the underdeveloped area in the south of Qin State, some Korean scattered people and Chu people who lost their land will form a large engineering team.

In addition, there are more and more inventions of electric appliances in Qin State. First, the emergence of electric washing machines solved people’s laundry problems, especially the appearance of brush dryers, which made clothes dry faster. Then, refrigerators became hotter and hotter. The weather is no longer like winter. There are natural refrigerators, but more and more meat shops use the method of putting them into deep wells to freeze them, but even so, there are still some moldy and spoiled food. In order to solve this problem, industrial refrigeration equipment began to shrink and become the size of two wardrobes. Freezers enter butcher shops

There are large cold storages in some large meat factories. Although liquid ammonia is used as the freezing liquid, there have been three liquid ammonia leakage accidents in the north, one of which killed 12 people. But even so, people need coolness, especially Yingyu, who is very excited. There is a large refrigerator with all kinds of cold drinks in it. When people drink, they also like iced wine, which stimulates these needs and keeps the refrigerator alive.

And the biggest invention in electrical appliances has been seen by Shang Wen through the form of patent application

This is radio technology. As early as when electric lights appeared in Qin State, someone accidentally discovered an invisible thing that made experimental electric lights light up. This phenomenon was the early electromagnetic waves. Then a large team of relevant personnel formed a large team to study this unexpected phenomenon.

The team's first breakthrough was the theory. They deduced Maxwell from the electromagnetic imagination, which is the most important principle to confirm the existence of electromagnetic waves.

The principle of the electric lamp discovered by the electric lamp experiment preliminarily confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves, but people still need a new and brand-new electromagnetic wave instrument to prove that this is the electron tube.

Qin State was able to produce electric light bulbs on a large scale, and it was able to develop electron tubes, which are composed of electric signal amplifier components. There are cathodes, electron emitters, control grids, acceleration grids, and anode leads are welded on the tube seat. Because it is the first electron tube and equipment in Qin State Not refined so it looks very rough

When Shangwen saw this technology, he felt that we should step up efforts to promote it, so Shangwen decided to call Yingyu. This technology can only be popularized in a short period of time by the Yingyu Wenyang Consortium with strong technology.

"Hello" Shangwen called and asked

"Say" Ying Yu is obviously in a bad mood and doesn't bother to talk about Shangwen

"I found that a new technology has a very broad prospect," Shang Wen said excitedly

"What technology?" Ying Yu asked lukewarmly

"Radio" Shangwen said

"Crack" the phone was immediately disconnected. Shangwen felt baffled. What happened to her? She directly dialed the phone. Shangwen felt very strange.

610 Rise of Water Pirates

Yingyu is very upset at this time. The funding situation is getting worse. Many places where the project is launched need funds, and the most lacking thing now is funds.

There is a report on Yingyu's desk, the content of the report is a report on the flow of funds. Banks in South Korea have issued a large amount of loans, and the country's ability to absorb deposits is limited. Investment has become a very hot topic. Besides, the interest rates given by banks are low. Loans are easy, which greatly stimulates investment enthusiasm in all aspects

But Yingyu has made the biggest investment so far. She has used a lot of money to support a war. The high cost of the war made her unable to start in many ways due to financial constraints.

But this war must go on, otherwise all previous investments will be in vain. This kind of pressure is too tense. She tried every means to waste money to raise funds. The steel mills can't be drawn and can only be drawn from other industries, such as retail. She directly canceled twelve. The plan to set up a hypermarket gives the local retail industry the opportunity to compete freely

In terms of new technology application, she can only buy technology patents first and then use technology patents as a negotiation weapon. Shang Wen saw that the wireless technology has already been purchased by her. Now she is discussing with a large electrical company how to use technology advantages to seek benefits.

In order to raise funds, Yingyu thought of using the stocks in her hands. The various stocks under her management issued between 12.00% and 15.00% of the total share capital. Now the stock market is basically in a big bull market. Stocks have risen one after another, especially steel mills and railway stocks. The price has surpassed the issue price of the period when the stock was issued, especially the two major stock sectors of steel and railways have more than doubled

Even so, Yingyu is still facing financial pressure. Too much money invested in the war is very detrimental to enterprises, especially consortiums like her.

This situation is also very unfavorable to Qin State, because Ying Yu controls almost the entire financial sector. If there is a problem with her, the entire economy of Qin State will enter a crisis era, which will have a great impact, perhaps because of too much pressure. Ying Yu is in a very good mood. not good

Bad things always happen. With the widespread use of electrical equipment in Qin State, Qin State will import more and more non-ferrous metal ores, especially copper ore, tungsten ore and other ores. The transaction volume of these ores is increasing. More and more attention has been paid to the mining of minerals, not only minerals, but also a large amount of duck feathers and goose feathers. Silk, the main component of down jackets, began to have specialized breeding and sericulture industries in the Wuyue area, because the demand in Qin State was huge.

Take silk as an example. In the past year, the demand in Qin State has suddenly increased to more than 200 million shi, but the actual output is less than 100 million shi. The huge demand directly stimulates large-scale sericulture in Chu State.

In addition to these, there is a demand for rice. The people of Qin State began to accept and eat this kind of food, which was also widely planted in the Wuyue area. Chu State agriculture appeared on a large scale. In particular, the entry of the old nobles of Chu State allowed a large number of small pieces of land to be owned. farmers lose their land

Peasants who lost their land became serfs of these nobles. They farmed the land for the rest of their lives under contract, but this was only a small part of the majority of the peasants who still had no source of income. Those with a little property moved to other places, while those without property became social instability. factor

Because these areas are on the south bank of the Yangtze River, especially Wuyue and Jiujiang, these places have very close economic ties with the State of Qin. The transportation industry began to develop

Farmers who lost their land did not have a job Ship transportation prospered again, so these people started to make a living from it, they attacked these ships on land, ports, and then they absorbed a group of local fishermen Fishing tax is too big The war between the state and the state of Qi, especially the outflow of a large number of muskets to the surrounding countries of the state of Chu, forced Chu to prepare for a large-scale refitting, which required money. The money came from the fishing industry of the state of Chu.

Canned salted fish is also one of the needs of the Qin State. Freshwater fish and salted fish are also one of the needs of the Qin State. The north does not eat fish much, but the newspapers promote the benefits of eating fish, and Qin State itself has a high consumption capacity.

These factors lead to the emergence of fishery tax, and the fishery tax increases the burden on fishermen. Either continue to work or transport those ores. The work is very tiring. The emergence of unstable factors makes these fishermen become pirates.

The plundering of the land was defeated by the family's private soldiers. The gap in weapons and the duel between muskets and cold weapons failed on land. These people mixed with fishermen and formed water pirates. At first they were just to fill their stomachs. They only robbed the ships that transported rice. With the expansion of the number of people, their goal is no longer simply to rob food

"My mother thought I robbed a big ship, but I didn't expect to rob a lot of broken stones," a pirate leader scolded while checking the cargo on the ship.

"Grandfathers, there are only these ores on board, and nothing else," the owner begged for mercy.

Maybe it's because I have nothing to do, or maybe I just want to play tricks. After all, the captain can't do it for nothing.

"What are these stones for?" asked the chief

The ship owner didn't dare to hide anything, of course he did everything he said.
