Chapter 23 Power Generation! Power Generation!
The town has buses, and each trip is at noon. If you take a ride to Huanghai City, the fare will be 60 cents.
Under Hua Zi's leadership, the two first bought two new sets of clothes for 30 yuan in the town clothing store. Liu Hao changed the original simple animal leather jacket, and Hua Zi also changed the worn black leather jacket and leather pants, and then took the bus to Huanghai City.
Needless to say, the bus was also stepped on by people. There were 4 people stepping on it together. The speed was average, but it was very stable. It can be seen that the drivers were all old drivers.
There were not many passengers on the bus, and they sat a little while in a sparse manner. Hua Zi and Liu Hao sat in the back row. Here you could talk quietly without worrying about being heard.
"Hua Niu, how strong are those four driving?"
"The driver of a small town bus is usually only at level 3."
"Then are you level 6 fighting spirit?"
"No, I'm a level 6 adventurer, but I'm only level 5."
"Oh, what about me? How much level is my fighting spirit equivalent?"
Hua Zi looked at Liu Hao with a complicated expression: "You freak, you have at least 9 levels of Dou Qi."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something and reminded her with a serious expression: "People with level 9 fighting spirit will be called Martial Saints. For such strong people, the state management is very strict and must be reviewed every 3 years. Once you expose level 9 fighting spirit, the state organs will find you soon, so we will be in trouble."
Liu Hao didn't like trouble and immediately said, "Then how much level of fighting spirit I usually show is more appropriate?"
Hua Zi thought for a while and said, "You are very strong in shape. Such people generally don't have too low fighting spirit. There is no big problem around level 6, and level 7 is barely feasible... Just show that level 7 is the one that can make money with the fighting spirit, and you don't have to worry about causing trouble."
Liu Hao humbly accepted: "I'll listen to you."
Hua Zi seemed to think of something, and suddenly patted her hands hard, looking at Liu Hao with her eyes shining: "I have a way to make money!"
Liu Hao was also very happy and asked, "What's the solution?"
"Aren't you driving very well?"
"Yes."
Hua Zi's eyes shining brightly: "When we arrive in the city, we will go to get sponsorships and drive rally cars. As long as we can reach the final, we will have at least 5,000 yuan in bonuses! If you can win the championship, you will have a bonus of 30,000 yuan! If you become famous, someone will ask you to advertise, and the money will be soon."
Liu Hao knew nothing about the affairs of the Tang Republic. Since Hua Zi thought this method was feasible, he naturally had no objection and nodded: "Then go and drive a racing car. But I don't have a car. By the way, I should be a black householder, can it work?"
Hua Zi seemed to have smelled the bonus. She waved her hand and said boldly: "Don't worry about identity. I have a friend who can help you apply for a certificate. Of course, this requires a little money, but this is not a big problem."
For some reason, Liu Hao suddenly felt that Hua Zi was a little idealistic. He couldn't help asking: "Where is that car? Rally racing cars should not be cheap, right?"
"There is no problem with the car. You have such good driving skills, and it is easy to take the racer certificate. With the certificate, you will not have to worry about no one sponsoring you. If you win the championship, you will be ruthless in the future for advertising fees."
It seemed that this was true, and Liu Hao was also happy: "Okay, let's go drive."
Seeing that Liu Hao did not object, Hua Zi was immediately very happy. She began to imagine the future, so her eyes were shining and her face was flushed, like a ripe big apple.
At around 4 pm, the bus carried the two of them to the bus terminal in Huanghai City.
After getting off the car, Hua Zi pulled Liu Hao to have supper first, and then pulled him to the door of a large orange house. There were four big characters written on the sign above the door, and Liu Hao only recognized the word "electricity".
Liu Hao asked strangely: "Hua Zi, what is it for here?"
"Remember it, the four words on the door are called 'State Grid'."
"State Grid." Liu Hao suddenly felt awe.
Hua Zi took Liu Hao into the big house. Liu Hao saw rows of things like cyclists in the house, hundreds of rows of cyclists, and tens of thousands of cyclists were everywhere and vertically, and at least 80% of them had already been seated. Everyone was stepping on the car attentively, and a wire was connected to a square box similar to a distribution box in the distance.
Hua Zi walked to a counter and said in a familiar way: "Miss, we are here to generate electricity."
A young girl behind the counter glanced at Liu Hao and Hua Zi and reminded: "The evening electricity rush hour is coming. If you start stepping now, you have to step on it for at least 5 hours. You can only have two rest opportunities in the middle. You can't take a rest for a maximum of 5 minutes. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Hua Zi nodded immediately.
The girl took out two cards and handed them over: "It costs 2 cents to generate electricity for 1 °C, and the salary can be settled at least 50 °C in 5 hours. Do you remember?"
"no problem."
After getting the card, Hua Zi took Liu Hao to the two 'dynamic bicycles' in the corner, and whispered as she walked: "Huanghai City is a big city in the western part of the Republic, and it consumes a lot of electricity. Every kilowatt-hour of electricity used in the city is made of such a car. In the future, if you don't have money in your pocket, you can generate electricity in the State Grid. If you step on 100 kilowatt-hour of electricity, you can get 2 yuan. It's not much, but it's okay to fill your stomach."
Liu Hao felt it was very strange, but soon he remembered the theory that everything has spirits, and he felt relieved.
When he walked to the side of the car, Hua Zi first inserted the metal card into the slot of a car and said to Liu Hao: "Go up and step on it. Remember to step on it hard, but don't use too much force. The force of using level 7 fighting energy will be almost done."
Liu Hao nodded, climbed onto the 'dynamic bicycle', and began to step on it hard.
His fighting spirit was strengthened to the extreme by Kuzi. Even if he didn't need Kuzi's help, he would easily step on this thing. After stepping on it for a while, he found that the strength of this thing was similar to that of a car, and it was even lighter, and it was a little light when stepped on it.
Hua Zi had already climbed onto her own power train, and she advised: "Look at this place, if you feel that the power is light, add an additional power set."
Liu Hao did as he did.
Sure enough, after adding an additional set of power generation units, the foot feels heavier and makes it much more vigorous when you step on it.
He stepped on it one after another, and soon found a mechanical instrument panel on the generator car, which showed his power generation. At his current speed, he could generate 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity in about an hour. After 5 hours, it would cost 10 yuan.
Considering the strong purchasing power of the world's currency, these 10 yuan is equivalent to more than 500 yuan on the earth. If you step on it every day, your monthly salary will be 15,000 yuan, which seems quite generous.
He turned to see Hua Zi and found that she had only half of her power generation, and it seemed that she didn't seem to be easy for her to step on it. In just half an hour, dense sweat had already oozed out of her forehead.
Seeing her hard work, Liu Hao couldn't bear it and whispered: "Hua Zi, how much does it cost to apply for a certificate for me?"
“200 yuan.”
"It's so expensive? Then can I step on it faster?"
Hua Zi glanced at the dashboard in front of Liu Hao and shook her head slightly: "You are already exaggerating, don't have to be too fast."
"All right."
Liu Hao had no choice but to step on it one by one.
Just as I was stepping on it, a cool voice suddenly sounded in my mind: "User, you seem to be in an economic crisis?"
"You're not talking nonsense."
"Cool boy can unlock the authority to get rich through hard work and help you generate electricity and make money."
Liu Hao hurriedly stopped him: "Don't, it won't be fun to burn someone's transformer."
Although I stopped it, Liu Hao felt itchy and couldn't help asking Hua Zi: "Hua Niu, is there any place to step on the generator?"
Hua Zi was stunned and quickly understood Liu Hao's intention: "There is a special private power station, but the price is not as high as the State Grid, and the rights and interests are not guaranteed. If you step on your knees, those private bosses will not care about your life or death."
Liu Hao smiled and said, "When I finish trampling today, you can take me there."
"You really want to go?"
"Really. This pedal is too light, and it's too slow to make money." Liu Hao pedaled hard. At the beginning, it was fine, but after stepping on it for a long time, this thing would be particularly boring.
"Okay, then I'll take you there tomorrow."
"Hua Niu, if you feel tired, just step on it slowly."
Seeing that Liu Hao was stepping too much, Hua Zi stopped forcing herself and reduced a power generation unit for herself, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Next, the two talked and laughed, and 5 hours passed quickly.
Liu Hao felt nothing when he got off the generator, but Hua Zi's steps were a little sloppy, which made her fall, and Liu Hao had to help her walk.
Finally settled the salary, Hua Zi stepped on 400 kilowatt-hours and received 8 yuan. Liu Hao stepped on 1,200 kilowatt-hours and received 24 yuan. This amount seemed a bit large, which caused the girl behind the counter to check it several times. After confirming it, her eyes suddenly became warmer when she looked at Liu Hao.
"A total of 32 yuan, please keep it."
"Well~ Not bad, not bad."
Liu Hao handed all the money to Hua Zi: "Here, I'll pay you back."
Hua Zi took the money and kept it carefully, and smiled and said, "Liu Hao, I think you can make a fortune by just stepping on the generator in the future."
Liu Hao shook his head repeatedly: "I won't do such a boring thing."
Hua Zi couldn't help but cut: "I'm really good at getting a bargain!"
After leaving the State Grid and on the street, Liu Hao looked at the rows of shops on the street, with a wide range of goods in the shops and cars flowing endlessly on the road, and felt like he had returned to the earth again.
But it was a foreign country, but it just looked like it on the surface. Liu Hao still had a dark look at this place, so he could only ask Hua Zi: "Where are we going now?"
"I'll have a midnight snack, go to my house after I finish eating... Wait, I can't go to my house now, so I'll find a hotel to stay."
Liu Hao was surprised: "It's so much money to go to a hotel."
Hua Zi smiled awkwardly: "I still owe usury, there must be someone at home blocking the door."
"Okay then. Go to the hotel."
The two walked along the street for a while, and just turned into an alley for a while, Hua Zi suddenly said, "No, someone is following us."
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight men in black leather clothes appeared on both sides of the alley. Each man held a weapon, either a steel stick as thick as an arm or a bright dagger.
Among the group of people walking towards him, the man who was leading the lead was tall, with a leather coat on his shoulders, a thick beard, his hair on his head was brimmed with shiny hair, and a tiger with eyes on his scalp.
He gently patted the iron stick in his hand and looked at Hua Zi with a smile: "Miss Hua, I haven't seen you for half a year, so don't be fine!"
Hua Zi's body shook slightly and said with a forced smile: "Brother Hutou, I'm in trouble and I'm relatively tight. Can I take a few days off the money I owe?"
"How many days can I take it?" The man who was called the tiger-headed brother smiled and said indifferently: "Miss Hua, my brothers all want to eat. How many days can this one be slow and that one be slow, can I still do this business? Ang!"
"Brother Hutou, I really have no money. Otherwise, half a month? Do you give me another half a month?"
Brother Hutou looked Hua Zi up and down, and laughed, "Miss Hua looks so handsome. Since she doesn't pay for it, then according to the contract she signed, she will pay it. If a top-notch product like you can pick up customers every day, she will be able to pay it off in almost half a year."
