Of course, you can also promote street lights on the main streets of the Workshop City to let everyone see the power of light bulbs.

With all this, the construction of this power generation workshop is a systematic project.

I think Guanshishan Academy can set up a team to take charge of this matter, and then the initial scale should not be so large. It will develop slowly for a while, and then gradually improve it before expanding the scale."

Although Li Kuan really wanted to see scenes of electric lights everywhere in the Tang Dynasty.

But it is obvious that this dream cannot be realized so quickly.

Even in later generations, many remote places were actually powered on in the 21st century.

It was already a great achievement for Li Kuan to see the people of the main prefectures in the Tang Dynasty using electricity during his lifetime.

Don't think too much about the others.

Continuing to use kerosene lamps or whale oil candles is not completely unacceptable.

"Thank you, His Highness the Prince, for your suggestions. After returning, my subordinates immediately organized elite soldiers and generals from the College of Geophy and Chemistry to form a joint research team and treat the matter of this power generation workshop as a core task."

After hearing Li Kuan's words, Liu Jie immediately stood up and expressed his opinion.

Obviously, he is still good at forming a key research team and is unshirkable.

As for specific technical research, it is the matter of various research institutes or workshops.

Anyway, judging from Li Kuan’s reaction just now, he still attaches great importance to the power generation workshop project.

"Your Highness, I actually think you can consider building a power college in Guanshishan Academy to study various things related to electricity.

Because the construction of power generation workshops, the transmission of electricity, the future calculation of electricity costs and the collection of electricity bills, etc., all aspects need to be studied by specialists.

When the time is right, you can open another workshop under the Electric Power Academy to take charge of this matter.”

Wang Fugui also made his own suggestions in a timely manner.

Naturally no one would object to this kind of strengthening the strength of Guanshishan Academy.

"Will you add more electricity academy to open now? Just go back and discuss and decide.

However, related research on electricity must be paid attention to.

Whether it is a steam engine, an engine, or the utilization of electricity, the impact on the Tang Dynasty in the next few decades will be huge.

Nothing in this can completely replace other things, and everyone complements each other."

Li Kuan has already explained all his understanding of the power plant. The specific matters must be considered by the people below.

He is not the "King of Understanding".

...

"Good news, good news! Langjun, there is great news."

Lu Ming's happy look was not as steady as before, which made Lu Xuan frown.

"What good news? Did our prospecting team find a large copper mine again?"

For Lu Xuan, he really didn't expect that Lu Ming, who had just brought good news to him for a month, would have any good news to tell him today.

"The exploration of copper mines has not yet moved.

However, we have formed a special expedition team to search for copper mines in Southeast Asia, Australia and the Americas.

I believe they will definitely bring back some good news.

However, today's situation is not much worse than the news of finding a copper mine, and it can even bring more profits to our Lu family in a short period of time."

Lu obviously weighed the impact of this news in his heart, so he came to Lu Xuan so quickly to seek credit.

"Oh? There is such a good thing?"

Lu Xuan, who was originally a little listless, immediately became energetic.

Who wouldn't be happy to make more money?

"Yes! Today's Datang Daily announced a while ago that Guanshishan Academy will form a team to build a large power generation workshop in the workshop city.

The current budget for this workshop is as high as one million guan.

In this report, the role of the power generation workshop and some future construction plans are introduced in detail.

At the same time, they also put forward relevant supporting requirements.

Among them, in addition to the use of a large amount of copper wires on the generator, the large-scale laying of transmission lines will be a matter that consumes more copper than the generator.

This means that in the future, copper wires will need to be used to transmit power as long as the power is turned on.

The power lines that are spread all over Chang'an City and even the Tang Dynasty are all over the Tang Dynasty, and the number of copper wires required is definitely very huge.

The business opportunities contained here are definitely very exaggerated.

To be honest, even if news of the discovery of a new copper mine is immediately revealed, it will not be able to suppress the copper price that is about to rise.

At that time, our copper smelting workshops don’t need to worry about the sales of copper ingots, but the sales price will probably still rise."

Lu Ming didn't dare to keep an absent from Lu Xuan.

He reported the good news to Lu Xuan in a few seconds.

"Invest one million chunks to build a power generation workshop? Are they so optimistic about light bulbs?

According to the construction cost of their power generation workshop and the production cost of light bulbs, how much does it cost to use a light bulb?"

Lu Xuan showed a surprised expression on his face.

Obviously, in his opinion, Guanshishan Academy must have made a wrong decision this time.

At that time, I guess I will lose all the money I earned in the past few years.

"This is not something we need to consider. Anyway, Datang Group is so rich, it is definitely worth it.

Guanshishan Academy has so many workshops, and it has not made less money in recent years."

For Lu Ming, he naturally hopes that the more successful the power plant, the better, so that the demand for copper ingots will be more vigorous.

But in a short period of time, he didn't want to pay attention to so much.

Because regardless of success or not, the demand for copper ingots will not change in the short term.

If you really can't handle it, the people in Guanshishan Academy will naturally have to consider what to do in the future.

"That's right, but what's going on with this power generation workshop? Why did Guanshishan Academy suddenly get crazy and make such a big deal?

Isn't it just for a light bulb?"

Lu Xuan was also concerned about the development of the Tang Dynasty's science and technology, because it contained many business opportunities.

But he is obviously not that optimistic about the future of electricity.

At least he thinks there is nothing worth doing at this stage.

"We are not very clear about the specific situation. I will arrange for someone to inquire about it in detail afterwards.

But I guess it should be because His Royal Highness attaches great importance to electricity-related matters. In order to meet his preferences, the people from Guanshishan Academy created such a power generation workshop.

According to their idea, they wanted to use light bulbs in the workshop city and some surrounding areas.

To this end, they also ambitiously issued some requirements for supporting facilities and installations.

I hope that all the merchants in the Workshop City can participate in this event just like studying engine parts.

For us, the research and production of transmission lines should be the best at it.

Although there are some other merchants in Chang'an City who probably will also like this market, no one has the advantage of being bigger than us."

Lu Ming is still very confident about the copper smelting workshop he is responsible for.

After all, as one of the five surnames and seven hopes, the Fanyang Lu family still has a rich variety of resources.

As long as he is not against other families of the same level, Lu Ming is very confident.

"Well, let's figure out the specific situation and then let's see how to take the next step!"

Although Lu Xuan was also very moved, he also knew that he didn't need to rush to make a decision.

...

"Panpan, look at Guanshishan Academy is now promoting the development of power generation workshops and related industries.

Is it not very consistent with this direction that your workshop focuses on the water pump and pipe fittings?"

In the backyard of the county government office, Gu Lei looked at his daughter with some worries.

Although Gu Panpan is responsible for the property in the family, it is impossible for him, the head of the family to ignore everything.

Looking at the days when various newspapers have been reporting on the power generation workshops, and combined with the previous light bulbs, Gu Lei felt that the development of his own workshop seemed to have made the wrong direction.

In his opinion, it is a very fatal thing to get the wrong direction.

"Aye, water pumps are of great use. Not only can some places in the power generation workshop be used, but the engine cooling system in the future will definitely require a water pump.

Besides, many people in the Workshop City have begun to install automatic flush toilets.

I am considering whether to cooperate with Nanshan Construction Engineering to build a tap water workshop that specializes in providing tap water to each company.
