Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2191 Energy Channel Experiment Begins

While Ji Donglai's entire company is conducting commercial experiments on the moon, Ji Donglai's energy base project in Afghanistan has officially begun acceptance.

The first phase of solar panels slowly opened towards the sun, and the little bits of electricity gathered into a huge current that rushed into the energy storage device and continued to operate for three days.

The engineer opened the huge valve leading to the capacitor, and the next moment the electrical energy from all the batteries rushed into the capacitor like a flood. In just a moment, a quarter of a large capacitor was fully charged.

"Okay, Mr. Qi can start now. There's no need to wait any longer."

According to Qi Jia's experimental plan, the first few items were completed, and Ji Donglai nodded.

Then, in the temporary command center, Qiga nodded, and the personnel of the Uzbek Satellite Command Center immediately began to control eight satellites to advance towards the reserved airspace. In less than fifteen minutes, the satellite matrix was formed.

"Location verification!"

The positions of the eight satellites were slowly approaching, and then the diagonal positions began to intersect, and then a line formed by low-Earth orbit, far-Earth orbit, and low-altitude satellites began to align with the high towers in the Afghan Valley.

"Two degrees and three points, calibration begins!"

Faced with the position deviation, the operators immediately adjusted the satellite, and the position was completely correct after ten minutes.

"Cloud concentration correction!"

Looking up at the sky, Qi Jia opened the satellite cloud map and saw a huge cumulonimbus cloud right overhead, blocking the sun.

"Lightning is expected to form within five minutes. Will the aircraft artificially create lightning?"

The Super Courier, based at an air force base in Afghanistan, had already taken off, with three drones forming a triangle in the air.

“Is the ground ready to receive it?”

Looking at the situation in the air, Qi Jia calibrated the scene again.

"On-site reception preparation is complete, please give instructions!"

The person in charge was standing in the glass shed with a walkie-talkie in hand. The glass roof above his head had been opened.

"Start creating lightning, three milliseconds at a time, and begin the experiment!"

Everything was ready, and Qi Jia gave the order again.

"Received, manufacturer click to start!"

"Zi la..."

"boom!"

As the large antenna on the super courier's head emitted an arc, a huge lightning bolt formed in the sky. In just a moment, the top of the high tower on the ground was successfully attracted, and then the charge on a capacitor was directly fully charged.

"Send electricity to the nearest city, immediately!"

Although it was just a flash of lightning, it consumed one third of the power of the three super courier drones. Qi Jia knew he had to start.

The ground power transmission module immediately communicated with the local power supply, and then the circuit breaker was connected. The next moment, the current began to transmit electricity to the nearest town. In an instant, the indicator lights of the factories in the entire town that had stopped working due to lack of electricity lit up.

"The phone is ringing, get to work!"

As local people of Afghanistan who are used to power shortages, everyone waits around the clock every day. They work when the power comes back on and rest when there is a power outage.

As for how to pay wages, it all depends on the boss's mood.

Many beautiful handicrafts cannot be made entirely by hand, especially in places close to industrial cities and oil towns, where a large number of parts need to be processed. Now is a good time to take advantage of the electricity to increase production capacity to full capacity.

Electric welders, machine tools, blowers, water pumps...all working equipment is fully operational just to get more electricity.

Here, electricity is as precious as meltwater from snow mountains. Whoever grabs it owns it, without any psychological burden.

At this time in space, eight satellites have begun to rotate slowly, and then the solar panels have been opened to the maximum, a large channel is slowly forming, and the next moment a thick electric arc begins to slowly appear.

Unlike the last time, this time the satellite serving as a carrier is no longer there, and there is nothing in the middle.

As the rotation speed of several satellites began to accelerate, specific rays from the surrounding areas rushed towards the middle channel frantically, and then a huge electric arc as thick as an arm was formed in an instant, and the next moment it rushed towards the earth like a giant dragon.

At the same time, in the low-altitude orbit, an electric arc of moderate size was generated between the three satellites. The electric arc in the sky seemed to be pulled towards it, and then opened its bloody mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

Five hundred kilometers above the ground, an arc of electricity containing enormous power began to brew, and the next moment it pierced towards the ground and space with the force of thunder.

"Zi la la la..."

"boom!"

Electric arcs from space leaped down following the huge electric current. Inside the Afghan Energy Base, Ji Donglai stared at the energy traction tower closely.

The next second, a white rainbow pierced the sun.

"Zizila..." A bolt of lightning struck heavily along the steel needle on the top of the tower, and more than two thousand capacitors underneath began to charge. In just seven milliseconds, all of them were filled.

The next moment, a steady stream of electricity rushed along the transmission lines, and all the indicator lights of all the key locations that had previously been used for supply and demand by the US military were now lit.

"The phone is ringing, hurry up, get to work!"

Every factory was running at full capacity, with all electrical appliances turned on, including the lights in the gold shop, the fly repellents in the butcher shop, the water in the rich man’s swimming pool, and the lighting equipment in the shops…

At the same time, inside the Jidonglai Energy Base, the winding maze-like ditches began to be filled with water frantically. The huge amount of electric energy from the energy traction tower was output frantically, and hundreds of high-power water pumps began to work.

At the same time, the sprinkler system in the farmland on the other side was started, and a huge stream of water began to spray out.

In the lithium battery field, all batteries began to charge, and various huge energy storage devices began to be fully charged.
In a hidden cave, huge servers crouching inside like wild beasts began to start up. Supercomputers that consumed millions of kilowatts of energy per hour gradually started up, and the entire cave began to present a colorful picture.

The entire cave is ten kilometers long. It is Ji Donglai's largest computing center in Central Asia. It issues orders to the whole of Asia via satellite and conducts various settlements.

"We can try to overtake our base in Khorgos to charge. Great! Thank you for your hard work!"

As the instruments in the control room began to light up, Ji Donglai's nervous expression began to ease. According to calculations, the success rate of this experiment was 57%, and it was clear that the results were good.

"It's not ideal. The current is not well controlled this time. The probe on the top of the tower needs to be replaced. The burning current was too high just now. We need to temporarily interrupt it. The next experiment will be in an hour!"

Qi Jia looked unhappy and found Ji Donglai with a photo.

In the picture, huge pits have appeared on the surface of the probe on the top of the tower, and a large piece of the platinum plating on it has been burned.

"Change, now!"

Ji Donglai signed directly on the screen. This probe was 70 mm thick, 1.8 meters high, and worth 200,000... US dollars.

Ji Donglai rejected it without blinking an eye. If it were another company, they would have started cursing by then.

Fortunately, Ji Donglai almost entirely uses drones and unmanned robots for this kind of work, so the replacement is much faster than expected.

According to today's plan, at least three power generation experiments must be carried out once the energy base is opened.

In the experiment just now, the energy storage equipment of the entire base only stored one-fifth of the electricity. In just three hours, the amount of electricity consumed by Ji Donglai's digital power line was extremely huge.

Ji Donglai just sat in the corner and watched quietly. The drizzle in the sky came unexpectedly. Ji Donglai looked up at the sky above his head and a rare smile appeared in his eyes.

Meanwhile, in many other parts of the world, especially in countries with spy satellites, separate agencies have begun emergency meetings.

As orders were issued one after another, new aerial drones continued to appear in front of Ji Donglai's energy channel, as well as various surveillance equipment, including spy satellites for close-range reconnaissance.

"Boss Ji, another annoying guy is here, approaching for reconnaissance, and the signal is starting to get disrupted!"

The assistant walked towards Ji Donglai with the picture of space, and Ji Donglai just took a glance.

"The shield plan has started ahead of schedule, which is a good opportunity to test the performance of our supercomputer. Are you confident, Mr. Qi?"

Holding the walkie-talkie, Ji Donglai watched every frame of the picture.

"Yes, did they disintegrate them or destroy them directly?"

Everything in the air is within Qi Jia's sight. There are still fifteen seconds before the next power generation, and precise calculations must be made every time.

"Just dismantle the biggest one. If they don't want it, we'll pick up the parts. We'll warn and drive away the rest. Next time you want to watch our power generation process, you have to make an appointment. Otherwise, we'll regard it as a provocation and interference, and destroy them all!"

Ji Donglai was not at all opposed to this group of people's visit, especially the Europeans.

In recent years, Europe has also been working on a secret energy plan, hoping to replace traditional fossil energy or wind power and nuclear energy with new energy.

The explosion at the Fukushima nuclear power plant halted all nuclear power plant projects under construction in Europe, and all existing outdated projects were demolished.

Most of Europe's early wind power projects have now been dismantled as they have fallen into disrepair and are too expensive to maintain.

In addition, the supporting thermal power station had to be demolished because of the residential areas around it. As for other hydropower station projects, they have been demolished in large numbers in Europe in recent years.

The original Russian-German energy corridor plan was the support of the entire European Union. Now?

"Roger that!"

As a technical person, Qi Jia's biggest advantage is that he focuses on the technical level. No matter what Ji Donglai asks him to do, he never questions.

Just like that, the next second, the three satellites in front of the energy matrix quietly approached the energy matrix, and then an invisible light shield was formed.

"Fuck, our satellite communication signal has been cut off. What happened? Find out the reason quickly..."

In a huge laboratory in North America, all the screens were dimmed. The satellite had just been secretly filming Ji Donglai's space power generation plan, but now there was nothing.
