This is Shenma Black Technology

261 Power Outage
You don't need to work, you can have a lot of time to do what you like, and there are simulated intelligent robots in your life to take care of your basic necessities.

The entire Great Xia Kingdom was immersed in joy. However, just as simulated intelligent robots gradually entered everyone's side, the power crisis was quietly approaching.

On May 21st, the weather was fine in Qingchuan City.

Today in Qingchuan City, the people are having a very difficult time because a big event happened. All the power in the entire city was cut off instantly during the peak power consumption period at [-] a.m., and the entire city entered a state of blackout.

Not only the power outage, but also because of the power outage, the city's water conservancy system lost power, and the water was also cut off.

Although each key department has a backup emergency generator as a power source, it still makes the public feel a little panic.

A power outage in an entire city has become a rare occurrence in modern times.

In the memories of residents, although there were power outages, they were all caused by notifications for equipment maintenance and small-scale power outages in certain areas. However, such a city-wide power outage without any prior notification caught everyone off guard. .

Without electricity, many things in today's networked society cannot be used, which makes people who are accustomed to modern and convenient life feel a little uncomfortable.

Various household appliances in the home have no function, and holographic projection equipment, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, and other devices that are directly powered by power have become decorations.

These devices can withstand being without power for a short period of time, but if there is no power for a long time, shutting down holographic projection mobile phones, simulated intelligent robots, and starlight network equipment is the real killer.

Although many simulated intelligent robot workers made emergency repairs, it only took two hours to fully restore the power supply.

But this was just the beginning. In the next few days, three cities suffered major blackouts one after another, and there was even a large city among them, affecting the lives of tens of millions of people.

The continuous occurrence of rare major power outages has spread to the Internet, attracting the attention and concern of many netizens.

"What's going on recently? There are reports of power outages everywhere. The city where I live has announced today that it will be out of power for half a day for equipment maintenance."

"We have restricted electricity consumption here. We must save electricity. Each household calculates electricity consumption based on population. They don't dare to turn on the air conditioner at will. The computer has to do calculations..."

"I feel like there is a lack of electricity everywhere. What should I do? A world without electricity is not a beautiful world. I don't want to live like that!"

“The weather in May is fine now, but in July and August, the weather is hot and every household turns on the air conditioner. I can’t imagine what will happen, especially when the weather has become even hotter in the past two years. I hope there will be some Let’s find a way to solve it.”

"In modern society, electricity is life. Without electricity, it feels like dying."

"Not to mention power outages, I will be very anxious when the battery of my mobile phone drops below 50.00%, and I can't imagine life without electricity."

"It is said that this is because many electronic products require the use of electric energy. In recent years, various products and equipment have grown explosively. Everyone has money to use electricity, and they are becoming less and less economical. As a result, the efficiency of power plants cannot keep up. , eventually leading to widespread power outages."

"Without electricity, today's comfortable life would be gone. Simulation-type intelligent robots, various products such as holographic projections, and biomedical cabins should be the first products to be guaranteed. There is no need to worry about electricity for the time being, but we ordinary people do not use them. For such important products, electricity consumption will be limited, and everyone's good life will temporarily come to an end."

"If there was no electricity at all, the lives of all of us would go back to a few decades ago, with kerosene lamps, working in the fields, and no convenient communications. Life would be a hundred times harder than it is today."

"There are no simulated intelligent robots, no holographic projection equipment, no super sleep artifacts, and no starlight network terminals. Most importantly, the city-type energy shield also uses electricity as energy. If it is attacked at this time, it may cause huge losses. ..."

"What's going on? Is there any way to solve it?"

"In recent years, there have been more electrical equipment, especially the recent simulation-type intelligent robots. Almost everyone has one, and the power consumption is not low. Such a sudden increase in energy consumption will pull the national grid system Once certain areas are unable to withstand the strike, it may lead to widespread power outages.

Moreover, such a situation may take the entire Great Xia Kingdom for a long time to come. "

"Everyone who understands the dangerous electric energy knows that our country is now on the red line of electric energy. The power may collapse at any time. Although it will not cause a major crisis, it may also limit the use of electricity."

This is Daxia’s power crisis!

Large-scale power outages have attracted public attention. Naturally, the department that specializes in managing electric energy is also busy at this time.

In a huge conference room, electric power leaders from all over the country gathered, and an emergency meeting related to the electricity consumption of the entire Daxia country was being held.

Dozens of power tycoons from various provinces were sitting in the huge conference room.

Looking at the information in his hand, the boss of the power department frowned and said.

“Since Shenma Technology Company released its new product simulation intelligent robot last month, electric energy across the country has entered a state of alert.

However, for a whole month, things did not improve at all, and even more crises arose due to the high load operation of many equipment.

There was a massive power outage in Magic City, and it took three hours to complete repairs and restore power. The damage caused was as high as hundreds of millions of yuan, and the normal lives of tens of millions of people were affected.

Most importantly, we must ensure that the black high-TC city-type energy defense shield erected in the city can exert 100% performance anytime and anywhere, and will not weaken the performance due to lack of power, or simply need them Time to strike.

Regarding these, everyone should be aware of the seriousness of the matter during this time, so today I will not talk too much about the losses caused.

What is needed now is for us to come up with a practical solution to the current predicament. Let us all think about a solution together and how we can overcome this difficulty. "

Everyone present, no one dared to stand up and take on this important task at this time.

In fact, everyone has anticipated this problem before, and even what needs to be done has been done, including limiting electricity use, raising electricity prices, increasing the number of equipment maintenance times, and increasing various power generation equipment. Have you not seen what happened in Daxia in recent years? The number of thermal power stations, hydroelectric power stations, wind power stations, and solar power stations has been two to three times that of before, and the power generation capacity has been more than three times that of before.

However, with the current public consumption of electricity, there are suddenly more than one billion simulation-type intelligent robots, and factories with simulation-type intelligent robots as the main workers are also being fully constructed. The increased power generation capacity seems to be somewhat stretched.

It is always impossible to increase the price of electricity to the point where most people cannot afford it, or restrict the use of electricity on a large scale.This is Daxia, the most powerful country on the planet, the country with the most advanced technology, and the country with the best people's lives, but it also encounters a shortage of electricity.

And if it is not improved, high-load operation failure of power equipment somewhere may occur at any time, resulting in widespread power outages.

After a long silence, an old man stood up with a sigh and said: "In recent years, Shenma Technology Company has developed rapidly, bringing many benefits to the country and the people. While improving life, it has also improved the quality of every piece of electrical equipment. The increase has put the operation of our power sector in a precarious state.

Although in recent years, in order to ensure that Shenma Technology's products can be used with electricity, and in order to ensure that people can use electricity as they wish, we have vigorously developed various power generation facilities.

Even now, thanks to the work of the Giant Spirit God construction mecha and simulation-type intelligent robots, a large number of power stations are being constructed and put into use every day.

But compared with the gradually expanding demand, it is still a drop in the bucket after all.

We have no choice but to restrict electricity use or increase the price of electricity to such an extent that most people cannot use it freely. We only need to wait two more years for the completion of many power generation projects under construction to return to the previous level. degree. "

“Both price increases and restrictions on electricity consumption are inappropriate. They only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The problem is still there, but it has been temporarily suppressed by other methods.

And although we have been building power generation projects, everyone has seen that Shenma Technology's products are coming out one after another. Our power plants are not built as fast as Shenma Technology's products are released!
Moreover, every product is an indispensable product for the people, and the production capacity is very sufficient, causing it to be spread all at once, and the power consumption of the entire Great Xia Kingdom will increase sharply in an instant. "

“Fortunately, the two major energy consumers, the flying cars and the Giant Spirit God construction mechas, do not use electrical energy, but use oil as energy. If electrical energy was used, our power generation facilities would have collapsed long ago.

In fact, Shenma Technology Company has that capability. Today's simulation-type intelligent robots are equipped with high-performance batteries that can be used in flying cars to enable flying cars to fly long distances and at high speeds. "

"We have thought of all possible ways, but there is a huge gap in power generation. Every power plant is operating at high load. Coal and other resources alone consume hundreds of millions of yuan every day. Fortunately, the country now has money. , if it were the past, the money spent alone would be enough to cause pain to the national treasury for a while."

"Today there are two power stations in Dongshan Province. Because the high-load operating equipment was damaged, fortunately they are not particularly large power plants. Only one city was out of power for more than ten minutes. However, if this vicious cycle continues, sooner or later a big problem will occur. , I have thought about all the ways I can think of, but there is still no effective solution.”

"Who wouldn't? Except for a few provinces with vast territory, sparse population, and sufficient sunlight, other provinces have such problems, especially the Magic City. There may be another power outage at any time, and the voltage is often unstable. It can be seen on the Internet. Many people are beginning to pay attention to the power problem and must find a solution as soon as possible."

"I just talk about finding a solution, but what about that solution?"

"If you use extreme electricity price increases or restrict power supply strategies, you may be able to stabilize the power in a short period of time, but the energy consumption of the urban energy defense cover is still a problem. The powerful defense capabilities of the urban energy defense cover are completely based on Based on the crazy consumption of electricity.

If you need to resist the attack of a nuclear bomb, you need to extract the energy of an entire city as a condition for generating a defensive shield. The more electrical energy you extract, the stronger the defense capability will be. However, if there are multiple attacks, even the attack that the original city-type energy defense shield can resist , will also collapse due to lack of energy replenishment.

We can't let the city-type energy defense shield be just a decoration, but we really can't find a way to generate huge electric energy all at once. "

"My head hurts..."

Listening to the helpless words of everyone around, the official bosses also had a headache.

"This won't work, and that won't work. How can we satisfy the needs of the people across the country and urban energy defense shields? If we can't allow people and equipment to use electrical energy, we will be the sinners of the entire country."

"The national power network is connected, but in the case of long distances, there will still be a large attenuation when using wires. It would be great if there are superconducting materials that can be widely used at room temperature.

No, even if superconducting materials are popularized, the situation is still the same as it is today. Our power generation is still too little, and it is not enough even after deducting losses. It just allows people to not worry about using electricity, and urban energy defense for large power consumers There is still no way the hood can satisfy it.

A city-type energy defense shield that can squander electric energy wantonly can be said to be impregnable. Unlike dozens or hundreds of high-yield missiles at a time, there is no chance of breaking through the defense, but the powerful defensive power is all electric energy. exchanged. "

"The only way I can think of is controllable nuclear fusion. If there is controllable nuclear fusion power generation technology, we can reverse the current situation in one fell swoop."

"Controllable nuclear fusion, of course, is possible, but decades have passed since the method of obtaining this super energy was proposed, and there is still not much progress. Not only our country, but the entire world has adopted this method. Technology has no solution.”

"I have consulted the National Academy of Sciences. There is no possibility of developing controllable nuclear fusion technology in a short time. It is even questionable whether it is possible to develop controllable nuclear fusion technology in the next hundred years."

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, an inconspicuous leader of a certain province's power department frowned, his thoughts racing in his mind. After a while, he stood up excitedly and spoke loudly.

"No, controllable nuclear fusion may not be impossible. There may be such a technology in one place. Shenma Technology Company, a company that has produced countless miraculous products in recent years, may have controllable nuclear fusion technology!
I remember very clearly that in the beginning, Shenma Technology Company actually had to pay electricity bills. That company produced a super sleep device that shocked the whole world. I also specifically asked the electricity department manager of that company. The monthly electricity bill alone was Each cost tens of thousands of dollars.

But since Shenma Technology Company established a new industrial park two years ago, the power department of Xichuan Province has not received a penny of electricity bills from Shenma Technology Company, and has not even built an exclusive power plant for Shenma Technology Company. Industrial electricity network!
But now as you can see, the factory in Shenma Technology Company is still running at full capacity, and there is no shortage of power. You must know that in the industrial park of that company, flying cars and artificial intelligent robots can be manufactured continuously. Wait for the equipment.

If a traditional enterprise wanted to manufacture so many products, it would consume a lot of electricity every month.

Moreover, no one in the world knows about this company's technology. It has far surpassed any country or company in the world, reaching a level that ordinary people cannot even guess.

Holographic projection technology, simulated intelligent robots, flying cars, super sleep artifacts, and biomedical cabins are all technologies as difficult as controllable nuclear fusion, but in Shenma Technology Company, they seem to be free of charge. Like radishes, they were taken out one after another.

Then the result is obvious. Shenma Technology Company has controllable nuclear fusion, or similar technology, which means that Shenma Technology Company has a solution to our current predicament! "

The excited voice of the boss of Xichuan Provincial Electric Power Department silenced the entire conference room.

After his words fell, everyone thought about it carefully, and immediately started discussing excitedly.

"Shenma Technology Company, it looks very likely to be a controlled nuclear fusion!"

"If controllable nuclear fusion can be achieved and it is produced by Shenma Technology Company, then both the safety and the speed of production will definitely satisfy the public and the authorities!"

"This is the unstoppable road!"

"Hurry up and get in touch. Shenma Technology Company has always been very good with the officials. I believe they will not fail to help us!"
