Chapter 608: Xianyang Everlasting City

The Qi State Air Force has yet to come and take revenge. The Qin Heavenly Army once again attacked the military camp of the Qi army. This time it was attacked by two planes carrying a special half-stone aerial bomb.

But it's a pity. Neither bomb killed a single person. Instead, it wounded a cow. But the next day. The airship bombing on the third day began to intensify. Qin State's Second Bombing Squadron sent over. The two squadrons dispatched more than two hundred bombs to attack a grain and grass area of ​​the Qi army. But the effect of bombing was not very good. The reason is that the Qin army used high explosive bombs. No burning white phosphorus bombs are used. Although high-explosive bombs also caused fires. But the fire was effectively controlled. In particular, most of the food was just blown up and not burned.

The actions of Qin Jun. Let the Qi army begin to strengthen air defenses. The front line set up a special viewing airship. The aircraft's outpost. Once there is a situation, the smoke alarm will be released. Qi Jun's personnel began to turn from the surface into the tunnel or in the woods. Grain and grass are also timely transferred. In short. The Qin Army's bombing targets began to decrease.

The war between the east and the west was compared with the peace in Qin's country. There is a huge contrast. Qin State lifted the curfew on March 29. The reason is that the continuous darkness with the help of street lamps has brought Qin State Xianyang into the era of a city that never sleeps.

Xianyang became the world's first city that never sleeps. Not just street lights. Convenient electric lights are used in hotels, high-rise buildings, railway stations, department stores, and large supermarkets operating in black and white. Electric lights became popular in Xianyang.

The popularity of electric lights. Thanks to an electricity standard conference in Qin State.

With insulated wires. In particular, the use of high-pressure polyethylene materials produced. And the insulated wire produced by this kind of production began to be popularized on a large scale. Polyethylene solves the wire problem. Use tungsten wire as an electric filament. Tungsten filament bulbs, which are the method of charging nitrogen gas into electric lamps, have been popularized.

Electricity production. Qin's generators are getting bigger and bigger. The power generation method has been diversified. Thermal power generation. Especially the use of Zhao Guo coal. The use of thermal steam to generate electricity has become an important equipment for power plants. The small power plants of the previous kind have also begun to grow. They not only provide electricity for businesses. It also sells electricity for use by other companies.

For example, a textile factory provides electrical services for the arsenal. And in the far north and Taiyuan area. Because of the use of a new type of electric arc to smelt steel. So electricity is getting more and more tense. This prompted the emergence of large power plants.

It's not just industry. In agriculture. Electric water pumps have also begun to be used. In some places, slaves no longer carry water for irrigation or dig trenches. And in terms of traffic. The first public transportation appeared in Qin State. Tram. This is specifically set up to ease the increasingly tense urban traffic in the old Xianyang city. Trams are connected to the two main roads in Xianyang, east, west, south and north.

The production and use of electricity have been greatly promoted. But the problem ensues. The voltage of electricity. Calculation method and so on. Because the specifications used by various electric lights, power companies, and electrical appliances manufacturing companies are different. It was very confusing in terms of use. And the competition is fierce.

Some power companies only provide 100-voltage wires. And some electrical appliances need to use two hundred voltages. Qin Guo did not use a volt unit. Instead, use voltage directly as the voltage unit. Shang Wen doesn't know how much difference there is between volts and voltage. People cannot perceive these things. So Shang Wen couldn't tell.

The difference in voltage can maintain the monopoly of its products. Especially in terms of power supply. Qin Guo has more than 32 voltage specifications from one hundred voltage to three hundred voltage.

This confusion of voltage specifications. Especially power suppliers and electric appliance companies form alliances with each other. The formation of partial price control to achieve partial monopoly has greatly restricted the widespread use of electricity.

So, under the proposal of the prime minister. After various universities. Electric power companies and electrical appliance manufacturing companies responded by holding a power standard conference. The conference was organized under scientific research and extensive social information. It was decided to stipulate one hundred voltages as civilian voltages. Two hundred and fifty voltages are industrial voltages. The two voltages can fluctuate by 10%.

After the voltage standard assembly is unified. Only then began to establish the basic conditions for a wide range of applications. After that, the electric lights entered thousands of households from Xianyang Palace. Electric poles are being erected everywhere in Xianyang in order to speed up the progress. Xianyang divided the neighborhoods for the first time. Then, electric wires were popularized according to the block.

In the following days. Electricity for one block by block in the old city. Then light bulbs became popular. Taking into account the convenience of travel. And night inspection needs. Start to set up street lights at the road utility poles. Only then did the tram appear. As the schedule draws to a close. Qin's night is no longer shrouded in darkness. It is brightly lit. At night. People would sit under the electric light, read a book, chat, and eat. Or find some new entertainment.

Playing poker has become an entertainment activity. Billiards are good though. But the space is too big. And the age acceptance is limited. Especially after the appearance of electric lights. People's nightlife is gradually enriched. Playing cards is one of the games that Yingyu finds Shangwen to play at night. Soon this kind of game was promoted. Even King Qin would be summoned based on the concubine's card skills.

The popularity of electric lights. Especially after the street lights appeared. Xianyang ended the dark era of night for the first time. People began to take to the streets in the dark. The curfew was postponed by an hour. Even so. People still find it inconvenient. So the curfew was abolished after discussion.

The hotel began to open at night. In order to attract sound, use colored paper to make lampshades to turn colorful Shangwen lights. In addition, the theater, especially the appearance of Chinese opera, suddenly enriched the nightlife of Qin people. People start to like nightlife. Night is no longer the age of sleep.

The night market has become one of the important markets in Qin State. As long as there are street lights, Qin State is as lively as it is during the day.

Under the shining of thousands of lights. Xianyang has become a city that never sleeps. Business is highly developed. Plus the light shines. Let Xianyang become an international metropolis. Count the new city. The urban population living in Xianyang is close to 900,000. Although there is still some distance away from one million. But it won't take long. Will arrive quickly. Because there are still many people entering Xianyang from the countryside.

Zhao people who work part-time. Koreans doing business. The Chu people who enter the city make local Chu snacks. Chu Nu danced a graceful dance on the stage and was applauded by Shangwen. Of course, they are also well paid.

Nightlife benefits from electric lights. Electric lights let people get rid of the troubles of darkness at night. Driven by Xianyang Everbright City. Electric lights began to spread in the surrounding areas. Then came the entire Guanzhong.
