Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 202 Communication Tower

"Should... be back soon?" Huang Jiang looked back at Lexington, "I read in the newspaper a few days ago that he has returned to the Tulip Collar."

Lexington invited Joyce to sit down and placed a cup of hot coffee in front of him.As long as people have been to the Deacon's Mansion, my wife has remembered their tastes. Huang Jiang likes to drink tea, Hood likes to drink honey black tea, and Wales likes to drink red wine. Even outsiders who have only been here a few times, Lexington is also clear. They remember their preferences, like Joyce's preference for coffee without milk.

"Nicholas just came back." Lexington put down the tray and reached the edge of the Yellow River.

"Ugh?"

"I just want to tell you something." Lexington said, "Nicholas went to Gloria Island with Stoll on a boat, but as soon as Nikolai got off the boat, he took Dalem's car to Nanjia Island. It’s Lan.”

"Nan Jialan? Is there any accident at the power station?" Huang Jiang asked doubtfully.

Lexington shook his head and said: "Everything is normal at the power station. We are planning the second phase of the project on Iris Island. Nicholas came to see the iron tower."

"Communication tower? Isn't that one not built yet?"

"Yes." Lexington nodded and said, "There is still an iron ball with a diameter of 20 meters that has not been installed yet."

"Huh? A 20-meter iron ball." The communication tower was designed by Nikola himself. Huang Jiang had not seen the drawings and was a little surprised, "Is it used to discharge electricity?"

"Don't worry about it for now." Joyce wiped the sweat from his forehead and said nervously, "Take me there quickly."

"Uh...what's wrong? Forget it, let's wait until later." Seeing Joyce's anxious look, Huang Jiang had no choice but to take Joyce to drive.

"Is this the car you're talking about?" Although he was anxious, as a businessman, Joyce suddenly became energetic when he saw the novel object. "Is it really as magical as the legend says?"

"You can enjoy it this time." Huang Jiang opened the car door and invited Joyce to sit in the back seat, and he also leaned over and sat in the back seat.

Lexington waited until Huang Jiang and Joyce got in the car, then opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

"..." Hood turned the steering wheel, his eyelids twitching wildly, as if imaginary tic-tac-toes were popping up, "Why do you ask me to drive?"

"Aren't you an experienced driver?" Huang Jiang said.

"That's a nickname!" Hood patted the steering wheel, very angry. She was originally giving a bath to the three cats, but after taking it, Firefly hurriedly pulled her to the car.

"Hee hee, Admiral, please hurry up!" Firefly was lying on the car window, jumping slightly to take credit.

"En!" Huang Jiang gave a thumbs up.

"Drive, Hood." Huang Jiang glanced at it, and Joyce beside him began to wipe his sweat again.

"They say I'm not an experienced driver." Hood muttered with a pout, then started the car and started the car. "There is no Royal Navy flagship who drives the car himself. Really..."

The car started smoothly and drove to Nanjialan Power Station.

The communication tower is built not far from the power station.

"What happened?" Huang Jiang asked on the way.

Joyce's forehead was still sweating. Huang Jiang opened the car window for him. The cool sea breeze blew in from the window, bringing with it the salty fragrance of the sea.

"The Blue Commonwealth Expo has started bidding, but our alternating current bid has not been completed yet!" Joyce said anxiously, "I once contacted Mr. Nicholas. He was busy with the alternating current performance at the time. I know that this is important for alternating current." The communication is very important, but the Expo is the opportunity to make the final decision!" "Huh? Doesn't Nikolay have time?"

"Well...he always replies that he is doing it every time." Joyce said speechlessly.

"Maybe it's already done." Huang Jiang comforted.

"Commander, do you believe it?" Hood questioned.

"..." Huang Jiang fell into silence.

He knew very well that Nikolai had a very, very serious procrastination... just like him.

Hood looked at Huang Jiang with contempt through the rearview mirror. Looking at Hood's eyes, Huang Jiang scratched his face in embarrassment.

However, Hu De was very measured and did not discredit Huang Jiang in front of outsiders. Looking at Huang Jiang's embarrassment, Hu De smiled brightly, looked ahead and continued to drive.

From the Deacon's Mansion, there is a newly built road leading to the power station. The building materials for the construction of the communication tower are transported by horse-drawn carriage through this road.It didn't need to be such a hassle. Most of Jialan's building materials were transported by sea. However, the power station was built on the edge of a cliff. It was difficult to transport building materials up there and could only be transported by land.

Ok……

Now that we have cars, it is time to develop transportation vehicles. Otherwise, once we enter the big island in the future, transportation will definitely be a big problem before the railway is laid.

Well...it doesn't need to be very precise, just simple and durable.

Then Huang Jiang and Joyce talked about the electric power war that had reached its peak. Recently, Morgan's momentum has become more and more powerful. Popular science about DC power often appears in newspaper reports. Although Joyce also tried to promote AC power through public opinion, It is a pity that there are too few newspapers that he can win over, and they are completely unable to stop Morgan's wave of public opinion.

So Joyce had to put all her hopes on the fair.

Huang Jiang wanted to help. After all, General Electric was also a cash cow in his plan, and he had invested a lot of money. If it suddenly collapsed, he would be very distressed.

While talking, Hood had already driven to the power station.

The first phase of the power station project on Gloria Island has been completely completed.Since tidal power generation and wind power generation technologies are immature, or even undeveloped, all of Jialan's power stations now use the most traditional thermal power generation.

The Federation is extremely rich in coal resources, but Jialan has not yet discovered any coal mines. Huangjiang, which has always disliked being restricted by people, will not let coal restrict its development, so the project of using natural power to generate electricity has been put on the road. Now The one closest to being put into production is hydropower.

White smoke rises from the towering chimneys of the power station, and white water vapor floats gracefully into the sky from the cooling tower next to it.The conveyor belt that transports coal carries the desulfurized coal to the boiler. The hot water vapor rushes towards the turbine, driving the blades to rotate and thus driving the engine.The current is pressurized and transmitted through the transformer, and quickly conducted to remote residential areas through copper wires. In the substation in the residential area, the current will be adjusted to the standard usage current.

Huang Jiang looked at the power station, then turned around to look for the legendary communication tower.

Soon, he found the communication tower.

It was a 60-meter-high iron tower. The top was empty and something was missing. It was probably the 20-meter iron ball Lexington said.

Nicholas' figure soon appeared in front of several people.He, Nicholas, was looking up at the Tower with his hands on his hips.

"Mr. Nicholas!!!" Seeing Nicholas, Joyce ran over as if she was seeing a lover.

"We're doing it!" Nicholas waved his hand subconsciously.
