Chapter 477 Saints Steal Fire, Gods Steal Electricity

The moon is high in the sky, and cicadas and birds are chirping softly.

After a lively dinner, Li Boyang and Li Jingshu took a long-awaited stroll through the streets of Lijia Village.

With the birth and popularization of the [transmission talisman].

Li Boyang naturally wouldn't hesitate to spread all his knowledge about electromagnetism, electricity, and electrical engineering.

So about six months ago, Lijiacun began to try to build the world's first hydroelectric power plant and thermal power plant.

Although many difficulties were encountered along the way, and the final result was not perfect.

But combined with proverbs and incantations, these are accelerators of civilization's development.

In the end, Lijia Village successfully created streetlights and conquered the darkness.

To address this issue, Lijia Village even held several village meetings to discuss and establish a special "Electric Light Bulb Research Group".

This group is specifically responsible for researching, optimizing, and popularizing light bulbs.

Their next goal is to ensure that every household in Lijia Village has access to electric lights, rather than just using light bulbs along the roads at night.

As for selling light bulbs as commodities?
This is clearly not a qualified product until the problem of power transmission is perfectly solved.

Here, it is necessary to mention that, perhaps due to the misleading nature of the [transmission talisman], or perhaps due to the inevitability caused by the mythological era, this is something that must be mentioned.

The technology developed by Lijiacun was not "wired transmission technology", but a true "radio transmission technology".

That is, electrical energy is converted into energy forms such as electromagnetic fields, lasers, microwaves, and mechanical waves and then emitted, and then converted back into electrical energy by a receiving device at the other end.

Although this contactless power transmission has huge losses and is also very unstable.

However, in terms of both convenience and adaptability, it is extremely suitable for the complex geographical environment of the Bai Di Qun Shan region.

Most importantly, since there is no need to lay a large number of underground circuits and overhead cables, the mountain people will not offend the local mountain gods and water gods.

The only problem is that ever since Lijia Village started using this "radio transmission technology," there have always been some gods associated with lightning who secretly intercept the electricity.

At first, Lijiacun thought it was simply due to energy loss caused by technical issues.

After divination and testing, they discovered that a deity had taken the opportunity to steal the transmitted electricity.

In desperation, Li Boyang finally intervened and granted permission for Xuan Su and Ying Long to join the research group.

This led to the development of "directional energy transfer" and "load identification" technologies specifically designed for the God of Thunder.

It was after Xuan Su and Ying Long joined the research group that the power technology in Lijia Village improved at a visible rate.

The losses generated during radio transmission were reduced sharply to an acceptable and reasonable range.

Even the electrical energy that was dissipated became a benefit for the gods of thunder with tacit approval.

After all, the loss of electrical energy is perhaps an inevitable loss in the process of energy transmission, in the eyes of the mountain people.

But in the eyes of those gods who can control lightning, it's just that the mountain people's technology for stealing lightning is not yet mature and is far from reaching the level of the gods!
If one cannot fully control lightning, what right does one have to be called the God of Lightning?
"Speaking of which, Yinglong seemed to have proposed a while ago that we could use the ionosphere and electromagnetic waves in the upper atmosphere for efficient power transmission, right?"

Looking at the uniquely shaped antenna on the street lamp, Li Boyang suddenly asked a question.

This is also the biggest difference between this world and Earth.

Technological development on Earth progresses from low to high, like climbing stairs.

Because of the existence of gods in this era, they can often take a commanding view, achieve their goals first, and then work backward to decipher and study the principles and feasibility behind them.

"Huh? You mean that 'ultra-long-distance power transmission' idea?" "The day Yinglong made that suggestion, his mother rejected it without hesitation."

Walking leisurely alongside Li Boyang, Li Jingshu wore the same carefree expression she had when she was a child.

"I think this idea is pretty good, so why was it rejected?"

Li Boyang was genuinely surprised, as Yinglong's suggestion seemed quite good.

If this idea can be successfully realized, power plants will no longer need to build high-power energy transmission devices.

"Because Yinglong is not the most powerful thunder god."

Upon hearing Li Jingshu's words, Li Boyang immediately understood.

Yinglong's idea is indeed possible to be realized; this is a conclusion that can withstand divination.

The key issue is that even a power generation device limited to Lijia Village could have its electricity stolen by the gods who control lightning.

Not to mention the electrical energy emitted into the ionosphere.

At that time, the electricity generated by Lijia Village will most likely become a free lunch for those gods of thunder and lightning.

"So what are you going to do next?"

Li Boyang has not interfered with the development of the Hundred Mountains for a long time.

More often than not, Li Boyang only formulated general plans and strategies.

Using five-year intervals, Li Boyang would adjust the direction of the plan every so often to ensure that Baidiqunshan was on the right track.

As for the specific development details and the achievement of goals?

Li Boyang never interfered too much; instead, he looked forward to seeing more novel things emerge in the Hundred Mountains before he formulated the next five-year plan.

For example, this time, Li Boyang quietly incorporated "electricity popularization" into the planning of the next five-year plan.

"Hmm, the research team is trying to generate electricity at a higher power level..."

"In addition to hydropower and thermal power, wind power and solar power technologies are also making breakthroughs."

"However, finding the corresponding deity to help seems a bit difficult."

When faced with difficulties, one should turn to divine intervention. This was a shortcut that Li Jingshu discovered during her research and development process, and she found great enjoyment in it.

"And it seems that Yinglong and Xuansu are planning to research a talisman that can encrypt electrical signals."

"In this way, apart from specific devices, we will be able to detect any ordinary lightning god trying to intercept electricity immediately."

Li Boyang raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but praise.

"That's a pretty good idea, using talismans to encrypt electrical signals..."

"If I remember correctly, you used a similar technique with the 'transmission talisman' before, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingshu immediately smiled proudly, then leaned close to Li Boyang with an expression of anticipation for praise.

"Hehe, those are my own unique talismans!"

"If it weren't for your and E'tu's sake, I wouldn't have given this talisman to the Xuan Su clan for research!"
