Chapter 138 Official Power On(1/2)
Not long after the Lingli wind turbine was installed, the industrial site and thermal power plant were also completed.
A few days later, Changpingjing was officially powered on.
The first place to receive electricity was the four city walls and the most prosperous commercial street. The cost was jointly funded by the city lord's palace and the major families in the city.
On the day when the power was turned on, Zhu Changyang and Industrial Sect Quanzong went to Changping Realm to observe the ceremony. Just as the demon delegation’s classes had come to an end, they simply brought dozens of demons with them.
The location of the electrification ceremony was at the city gate in the north, just opposite Fuyi Mountain. Zhu Changyang and the city lord Fei Shiqian stood on the city wall, and people gathered under the wall to watch the ceremony.
There are people from the Changping Realm, foreign merchants, monks passing through the Mortal Realm, many disciples from the Baigong Sect, demons...
Everyone was looking forward to it. After Fei Shiqian gave an order, the staff pulled the switch. In an instant, the four city walls and the central street were like immortals casting spells, and the lights bloomed.
The people cheered loudly, and even the monks who had experienced everywhere and had extensive experience were secretly speechless.
Li Ying and dozens of demonic cultivators stood outside the city, watching the towering city lights up from a distance, and couldn't help but feel touched in their hearts.
They may have seen electric lights at Baigongmen, or they may have seen the dazzling light show at Shen's Restaurant.
However, when I saw with my own eyes that such a huge city could be lit up in an instant, it was still incredible to think that thousands of mortals in the city would be able to use this light and electricity at will in the future.
Back then, Master Yongjutian Changming refined the Changming Lamp, which was able to illuminate an entire city. It was regarded as the supreme magic weapon in the world of cultivation. Yongjutian also became one of the two major weapon refining sects in the world.
But now, with the power of ordinary people, Zhu Changyang can actually make a city shine.
After the power-on ceremony was completed, Fei Shiqian and the heads of the aristocratic families warmly invited Zhu Changyang to have a banquet to celebrate the success.
Zhu Changyang had already made arrangements, so he declined on the grounds that the sect was busy with affairs.
Fei Shiqian couldn't force it, so he could only regretfully send Zhu Changyang out of the city.
Zhu Changyang and Jun Ju Yujian came to the dozen newly recruited technicians and demon clan delegations from the Industrial Sect, and waved their hands proudly: "Let's go, brothers, come back to the sect with me and have a party!"
Chang Fengchi and the disciples from Baigong Sect followed beside him. Hearing this, he raised his hands: "We are going too."
"It's necessary." Zhu Changyang snapped his fingers, "The guest rooms are ready. I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight."
"Okay!" Everyone cheered in unison and rushed to several animal carts.
The strange beast leading the cart neighed and galloped away in the direction of Fuli Mountain, leaving behind billows of dust and smoke.
Fuyi Mountain is not far from Changpingjing, and soon we entered the newly opened mountain road.
The mountain road is straight, but the scene ahead is a bit strange.
Li Ying was assigned to drive in front. He saw a tall mountain peak at the end of the road from a distance. He couldn't help frowning and shouted to the two men holding swords above: "Principal, Director, why is there a mountain ahead?"
Blocking it? Are you going the wrong way?"
Like other sects, after the construction of the Industrial Sect's station was completed, a protective array was set up in the surrounding area, which, coupled with the magic power of the Shanhe Pan, formed a protection.
So now outsiders cannot fly in the airspace of the station without permission.
The mountain gates of many sects are equipped with magical techniques, such as there is an abyss outside Yaoyin Pavilion, and there is a heavenly 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 road between the cliffs that can be passed through.
Isn’t it a bit outrageous for the Industrial Sect to directly build the road into the mountain in front of a mountain?
Li Ying himself could shrink to an inch, but there were still several cars of people.
"Oh, don't worry, I have a secret." Zhu Changyang smiled, looked at the mountains in front of him, made an Iron Man gesture with open palms, and said seriously, "Makabaka."
As he finished speaking, there was a soft "buzzing" sound 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 shamelessly, "Principal, what spell did you use?"
He clearly didn't feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy just now, so why did the two mountain walls move away?
So which magic formula does "Makabaka" belong to, and why is it so weird?
Zhu Changyang laughed loudly: "Of course it's a scientific method, this one is an electric door."
As he spoke, he spread his hand and revealed a remote control in his hand, "The real password is actually 0621."
Li Ying: "..."
Zhu Changyang smiled: "Using electricity is cheaper than using magic. Our sect has just started, so we can save as much as we can."
No matter which world you are in, the investment in infrastructure is very huge. Especially in the construction of sects in the world of cultivation, many of them require the use of magic.
Protective arrays and spiritual materials are all expensive.
Fortunately, with the opening of the power plant, there will be a stable livelihood in the future.
However, we still have to save some money at the moment, so apart from some necessary protection such as the protective circle, the other Changyangs try their best to solve them in their own way.
The most indispensable thing in the industrial sector right now is electricity.
As for this tunnel, it was purely considered from an economic point of view. According to the current thinking of the world, if the mountains are blocking the way, the only way is to take a long detour.
As a Chinese with infrastructure genes, Zhu Changyang chose to open tunnels without hesitation. After all, there will be many ordinary people in the mortal realm who will come to and from the power plant in the future. They are no better than monks who can shrink into an inch and travel thousands of miles a day.
The tunnel is very long, but it is not dark and difficult to walk because there is a row of light bulbs installed on the top of the tunnel, which can just illuminate the way forward.
Everyone in the car crowded around the windows and looked out curiously. Finally, they saw a faint light coming from the end, and the alien beast raised its hooves and ran out of the tunnel.
My eyes suddenly opened up.
I saw brand new buildings rising from the ground in the wide and flat valley.
The industrial sect’s resident building is divided into two parts. The main part is the same as other sects and mainly meets the needs of daily life, learning, trials and other needs.
To put it simply: dormitories, canteens, teaching buildings and playgrounds, etc.
The other part is the power plant, which is separated from the school by a hill, and the two are also connected by tunnels.
The appearance style of all buildings is consistent with the world of cultivation. They are low-key but beautiful Chinese classical buildings, with cornices reflecting the sky, green tiles and red roofs, and antique flavor.
However, if you look closely, you will find that these buildings are very different from ordinary buildings.
The tall pillars, beams and floor slabs are mostly made of cement, and the windows are all made of clear colored glass.
Under the sunlight, the brilliance is faintly visible and dazzling.
In addition, the buildings are equipped with infrastructure such as electric lights, running water, and water heaters, and pillars and street lights are erected on both sides of the roads between major places.
A lot of thought has been put into the greening, especially next to the power plant. Zhu Changyang specially transplanted some golden moss from the bank of Yujing Lake to deal with the pollution caused by power generation.
In terms of scale alone, the Industrial Sect is far inferior to the famous sect and can only be regarded as a small industrial park.
However, in terms of convenience and comfort of living, it is unparalleled and unmatched by other sects.
The party is held in the open space in front of the auditorium of the main building, in the form of a buffet.
This time I even got an extra barbecue grill, and when I sprinkled the seasoning made from mango bones, the aroma filled the whole valley.
Demons, disciples from the Baigong Sect, and newly recruited technicians from the Industrial Sect gathered together, laughing and laughing.
As the Golden Crow sinks, the valley lights up, mirroring the Changping realm.
Zhu Changyang and Jun Su sat side by side on a huge rock on the top of the mountain, looking at the tiny stars that lit up in the dark night.
The mountain breeze blows, and the dream butterflies flutter, like a dream.
The news that Changping Realm was electrified quickly spread to other mortal cities as merchants traveled north and south.
People who have been to Changpingjing vividly describe the strangeness and prosperity of that city and how convenient it is to live there.
The name of the Industrial Sect spread like wildfire among the mortal world, attracting more people to go to Changping Realm to find out, which further promoted the economy of this largest mortal city in the Nine Realms.
Other cities were all keen on it, and the city lords tried every means to get in touch with Zhu Changyang, hoping to invite the Industrial Sect to open a local branch.
Suddenly, Zhu Changyang's popularity in the mortal realm was higher than that of famous immortal masters from famous sects.
However, it is no easier to contact Zhu Changyang than to contact the sect leaders of other major sects nowadays. Shortly after Changping Realm was powered on, the sect competition organizing committee officially announced this year's schedule.
The process of this competition is roughly the same as that of previous competitions, divided into two stages: preliminary and final. The preliminary is a one-month points competition, and the top 1,000 points will enter the final.
The difference is that in previous years, the points competition was an arena battle, but this year it was changed to a monster hunting competition, which took place in the Unnamed Domain, the last forbidden land in the Piaomiao Continent.
There are nine domains in total in the Piaomiao Continent, of which there are two domains for demons, one domain for demons, and five domains for mortals and righteous monks.
The last remaining area is in an excellent location. It is in the middle of the continent, directly connected to Changping Realm and Yongjitian. It is also not far from Cangbo City and Tunchuan Mountain. However, no sect has set foot there so far, and no living beings have grown up.
Ju means no name.
There is a forbidden formation left thousands of years ago in the Unnamed Domain, which is full of confusion and danger. Not to mention mortals, monks will lose their minds if they stay in it for too long, or even be swallowed up by the forbidden formation and lose their traces.
Therefore, for thousands of years, the Unnamed Domain has been regarded as an inaccessible forbidden area by everyone.
But since a few months ago, the area adjacent to the Unnamed Domain has been frequently attacked by monsters. Those monsters are very cruel, robbing and eating people, destroying land and killing villages, which has become a great disaster.
There were even high-level monsters at the Nascent Soul stage and above, killing several monks.
After investigation by various sects, they learned that the monsters all ran away from the Demon Realm and were very large in number. There were at least thousands of them, and they were all currently hiding in the Unnamed Realm.
This news immediately attracted the attention of various factions. Monsters causing trouble is never a small matter.
The human race and the demon realm have maintained their respective territories for many years, and 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 we all know, you can't stay in the Unnamed Realm for long. The monsters hiding in it must be just a temporary solution. I'm afraid it won't be long before those monsters come out in full force.
To be continued...
