Chapter 477 - 6: The Saint Steals Fire, the Divine Spirit Steals Electricity
The moon hung high, cicadas and birds chirping softly.
After a lively dinner, Li Boyang and Li Jingshu strolled along the streets of the Li Family Village, something they hadn’t done in a long time.
With the creation and widespread use of the Sound Transmission Talisman.
Li Boyang naturally didn’t hesitate to disseminate all the knowledge related to electromagnetism, power, and electricity.
So about half a year ago, the Li Family Village began attempting to build the world’s first hydroelectric and thermal power stations.
Although they encountered many challenges and the final results were not perfect.
But by combining with the Proverb Talisman, an accelerator of civilization development.
In the end, Li Family Village successfully created streetlights, conquering the night.
For this, the villagers of Li Family Village even held several meetings to specifically form an "Electric Energy Bulb Research Group."
This group is responsible for researching, optimizing, and popularizing light bulbs.
Their next goal is to have every household in Li Family Village use electric lights, instead of just lining the roadsides at night with bulbs.
As for selling light bulbs as commodities?
Before perfectly solving the issue of energy transmission, this is clearly not a viable product.
Here, it must be mentioned, perhaps due to the misguidance of the Sound Transmission Talisman, or perhaps an inevitability caused by the Mythical Era.
What the Li Family Village developed was not "wired electrical transmission technology," but rather, true "wireless power transmission technology."
This involves transforming electrical energy into electromagnetic fields, lasers, microwaves, mechanical waves, and other forms of energy for transmission, to be reconverted into electricity by receiving devices at the other end for use.
Although this contactless power transmission suffers huge losses and is quite unstable.
Nevertheless, it is extremely suitable, in terms of convenience and adaptability, for the complex geographical environment of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
The most crucial point is that, as it doesn’t require extensive laying of underground circuits and overhead cables, the mountain people do not offend the Mountain and Water Gods of various places.
The only issue is, ever since Li Family Village started using this "wireless power transmission technology," some Gods related to thunder and lightning constantly siphon off electricity.
At first, the Li Family Village thought it was simply technical issues causing energy loss.
Only after divination and testing did they realize that some Gods were taking advantage of the situation to steal the transmitted power.
With no other options, Li Boyang finally intervened, specially allowing the Xuansu Clan and Ying Long to join the research group.
It was only then that they specifically developed "Directional Power Transmission" and "Load Identity Recognition" technologies aimed at the Thunder Gods.
It was with the Xuansu Clan and Ying Long joining the research group that Li Family Village’s electrical technology improved at a visible pace.
The losses produced during wireless power transmission dramatically fell to an acceptable and reasonable range.
Even the electricity that dispersed became a benefit for the Thunder Gods under tacit approval.
After all, the energy losses might seem to the mountain people as inevitable during transmission.
But to those Gods capable of controlling electricity, it was merely that the mountain people’s technology of stealing electricity was still immature, far from reaching the level of the Gods!
If one could not fully control electricity, what right did they have to be called a Thunder God?
"Speaking of which, didn’t Ying Long propose using the high-altitude ionosphere and electromagnetic waves for efficient power transmission a while back?"
Looking at the uniquely styled antenna on the streetlight, Li Boyang suddenly asked.
This is one of the biggest differences between this world and Earth.
Technological development on Earth is from low to high, like climbing stairs continuously upwards.
But in this era, due to the presence of Gods, often they could look ahead, first achieving the goal, then reverse engineering and researching the principles and feasibility within.
"Oh? You’re talking about that ’long-distance power transmission’ concept?"
"Ying Long’s proposal was rejected outright by his mother on the day he suggested it."
Casually walking alongside Li Boyang, Li Jingshu looked just as carefree as she did in her childhood, unconcerned about anything.
"I thought the concept was pretty good? Why did it get rejected?"
Li Boyang was genuinely surprised, clearly considering Ying Long’s proposal to be quite good.
If the idea could succeed, power plants wouldn’t need to specifically build high-power energy transmitting devices.
"Because Ying Long is not the most powerful Thunder God."
As soon as Li Jingshu said this, Li Boyang immediately understood.
Ying Long’s proposal indeed had the potential to succeed, a conclusion that could withstand divination.
The key issue, however, lay in that even the power plant limited to the area of the Li Family Village might have its electricity siphoned by the Gods ruling over thunder and lightning.
Let alone the power sent to the ionosphere.
By then, the electricity generated by Li Family Village would likely become a free lunch for those Thunder Gods.
"So what do you plan to do next?"
Li Boyang hadn’t interfered much with the development of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range for some time.
Most of the time, Li Boyang only set up a general plan and guidelines.
Using a five-year unit, Li Boyang adjusts the direction of the plan periodically to ensure the Hundred Lands Mountain Range advances on the right path.
As for the specific development details and goal achievements?
Li Boyang never interfered too much, instead looking forward to more novel things emerging before he sets the next five-year plan.
For example, this time, Li Boyang quietly included "electricity popularization" in the planning for the next five-year plan.
"Well, the research group is attempting to generate higher power output..."
"Besides hydroelectric and thermal, the breakthrough technology for wind power and solar energy is also happening."
"But finding the corresponding Gods to assist seems somewhat challenging."
Finding Gods for tough problems was a shortcut Li Jingshu discovered in the research process, and she enjoyed it as well.
"Also, Ying Long and the Xuansu Clan seem to want to study a talisman that can encrypt electrical signals."
"This way, apart from specific devices, other ordinary Thunder Gods trying to intercept the power will be immediately noticed by us."
Slightly raising his eyebrows, Li Boyang couldn’t help but praise.
"That’s a pretty good idea, using a talisman to encrypt electrical signals..."
"If I remember correctly, you used a similar technology on the Sound Transmission Talisman before, didn’t you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jingshu immediately smiled proudly, then leaned in front of Li Boyang with a face eagerly awaiting praise.
"Hehe, that’s my original talisman!"
"Were it not for your and Er Tu’s sake, I wouldn’t have given this kind of talisman to the Xuansu Clan for study!"
