Chapter 2547 - 2546: Cheers
The construction workers came well-prepared, measuring while setting up camp.
Once the data was ready, it only required one person to take it back, then production materials could be shipped over and construction could begin immediately.
There’s no need for personnel to shuttle back and forth.
Quickly, the data was prepared, Ling Feng went to deliver it, and then it was just a matter of waiting for the transport ship to arrive.
In the following two days, Ling Feng, Ling Yao, and Li Chunxi went to Shiliu Village.
During these two days, Li Chunxi didn’t stay on the Lingyun ship watching movies but followed Ling Yao everywhere she went.
Ling Yao knew she wanted to become closer and didn’t refuse, instead, she changed her usually gentle demeanor and chatted with her a lot.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng was running back and forth between the county and the village, because the power project was nearing completion, and more crucial matters were about to unfold.
Thousands of acres of land were leveled, and the planting work commenced almost simultaneously.
Subsequently, Lin Tai organized a large group of staff to receive massive quantities of electronic products from the parallel world, primarily televisions.
There were over eighty thousand households in total in the county and surrounding area, and each household received one unit.
Because electricity could now be fully guaranteed, but people still didn’t know how to use the TV, trainings were held in each village and town, starting with some demonstrations showing everyone that the people on the screen were not ghosts but real individuals.
Promoting television, not only did people start receiving modern education, but also because of Ling Feng’s actions, they underwent significant psychological impact.
Only at this point did the next major plan for large-scale orchard creation begin.
Ling Feng didn’t have to worry about this endeavor; as long as large trees were moved out, the transformation task could be executed wherever there was a dense forest.
Everything proceeded smoothly, and by then, Lingyun Island’s supplies were also ready.
Ling Feng returned to lead the cargo spaceship, and the impatient Li Chunxi immediately followed Ling Yao back to Capital City.
No need for any groundbreaking ceremonies; with cement bars unloaded from the spaceship, the foundational construction work began.
Li Huang also joined in, bringing his ministers to observe.
Witnessing the mechanized building construction, everyone was amazed by the rapid pace.
Thus, in the following days, the construction site became the biggest spectacle near Capital City, attracting not only dignitaries but also civilians who considered it a scenic view.
Shortly half a month passed.
All remained calm with nothing occurring.
The hydropower station reached a critical construction stage, the dam structure and concrete buildings merged together, and it was time to install the generators.
Despite continued enthusiasm among the onlookers with thousands arriving daily, had it not been for Li Dynasty soldiers managing the perimeter, many would have tried going inside the power station.
When the huge power generators, tens of meters long, and more than ten meters high, were brought out of the Space-capturing Mirror by Ling Feng, the previously noisy crowd suddenly went silent!
People were astonished.
Everyone was wondering how such large objects were created!
Then, the second, third, a total of four generators were set down, leaving people even more perplexed about how such massive items would fit into the power station.
When they saw such large objects lift themselves, they were utterly dumbfounded.
Ling Yao’s ability at this point was unparalleled; without any visible action, she could move enormous objects through sheer willpower, a skill even Ling Feng admired.
The people and officials of Li Dynasty felt as if they had watched an extraordinary magic show, like seeing a spectacular performance.
Once all four generators were installed in the power station, Li Chunxi turned to Ling Feng: "Can we generate power now?"
"Of course not, the station needs a roof, and the water outlet from over there has to be blocked, installation also requires time, and the electric lines aren’t set yet," Ling Feng explained.
"So how much longer?" Li Chunxi asked.
Ling Feng looked at her: "Didn’t I say it would take a month? It’s only halfway through!"
"Alright."
Li Chunxi was evidently impatient, but there was nothing she could do.
Despite Ling Feng’s claim of taking a month, the power station construction completed in twenty days.
The power towers were erected, and lines connected to Capital City.
With Ling Yao blocking the river’s exit on that side, the rushing river water burst from the dam, returning to the previous stream.
The massive flow and strong impact enabled a successful test run of the generator, proving everything was normal!
Thus, that evening, in Capital City, nearly everyone excitedly awaited.
The household wiring was not complete yet, but preparations in the Imperial Palace were ready.
Everyone waited for the palace’s first illumination.
As the sun set and the sky hadn’t darkened, many grew impatient.
However, there’s no choice; without the palace flipping the switch, haste was futile!
As darkness fully enveloped, those on the streets or their rooftops suddenly saw a bright light!
The Imperial City was illuminated with LED strips, lights of various colors began to flicker, and the palace shone brilliantly, as cheers erupted across Capital City!
In these people’s eyes, the Imperial City was like a heavenly palace!
Consequently, many who watched were moved to tears, while praises for the emperor and Ling Feng resonated frequently.
Ling Feng, hovering mid-air, wiped away cold sweat, and said to Ling Yao beside him: "Luckily, the Emperor isn’t a petty person, otherwise in ancient times I would’ve gotten into big trouble!"
Hearing this, Li Chunxi, beside him, scoffed: "Are you talking about being too powerful for the ruler?"
"Yes," Ling Feng nodded.
"Are you really worried about my father? It should be my father worried about you; what if one day you feel unhappy and want to change the dynasty?" Li Chunxi asked him.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng fell speechless, glaring at her: "When did I become that kind of person?"
Li Chunxi chuckled: "I know you’re not, but what if you’ve been hiding it very well?"
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless again, then helplessly shook his head: "Princess, could you not joke like that anymore?"
Li Chunxi knew he wasn’t serious, so she pulled a funny face: "That’s no fun, not fun at all!"
