"Open the gate and release the water!"
After Wei Wu finished speaking, Song Zhong immediately turned around and shouted loudly towards the telegraph driver Zhang:
"The Vice President has ordered, open the floodgates and release the water!"
As Song Zhong's voice was heard, the craftsman standing on the sluice gate immediately reached out and grabbed the gate valve stem.
There are two gates at the water inlet of the hydropower station, one of which is the partition gate between the water inlet and the river.
But the purpose of this gate is only to isolate the water so as not to interfere with the construction of the power station.
The real gate is actually in the middle of the waterway inside the water inlet, which is used to control the size of the water flow.
As the craftsman pulled the gate valve stem, the gate slowly rose, opening a hole at the bottom of the waterway.
After opening this gate, the craftsman went to the point where the river and the water inlet were connected and pulled another valve stem.
In an instant, water rushed into the water inlet, along the vortex waterway and finally flowed into the center point.
Driven by the potential energy of the water flow, the turbine blades slowly rotate and the speed gradually increases.
Just like that, after about a few minutes, Wei Wu felt that it was about time, so he took out a multimeter from his arms.
After connecting the test pen to the power supply, Wei Wu looked at the values displayed on the meter and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Very good, from today on, the Ming Dynasty officially enters the era of electric energy utilization!"
Wei Wu was not the only one who was happy about the official operation of the hydropower station.
The craftsmen around him were so excited that they hugged each other, jumped up and down and cheered loudly.
However, after a brief cheer, everyone quickly returned to calm.
Because now we have only confirmed that the power station can operate normally, but there is no answer to its actual effect.
So after calming down, all the craftsmen present fixed their eyes on Wei Wu.
After all, he was the only one who could give the answer here, so under the gaze of everyone, Wei Wu picked up the multimeter again.
About ten minutes passed like this, and after Wei Wu confirmed it over and over again, he finally got the result.
"Everyone, our power station has a capacity of 15 kilowatts, which means it can generate 15 kilowatt-hours of electricity in half an hour!"
Wei Wu originally wanted to change the name of the kilowatt unit, but later he thought it was unnecessary.
The name doesn’t matter at all. What matters is that China was the first to discover and utilize electricity.
On this basis, Wei Wu said that it was an oriental word, and no one dared to say that the word kilowatt was more western.
In fact, this is true. Craftsmen don't care what the unit of measurement is called.
They were just concerned about what Wei Wu had just said, the power was 15 kilowatts, and 15 kilowatt-hours of electricity in half an hour.
Upon hearing this conclusion, some of the people from the Academy of Science and Technology immediately shouted loudly.
"Thank God, it's really God's blessing! Our Institute of Science and Technology finally doesn't have to be so pitiful to save electricity anymore."
When he shouted this, there was even a hint of crying in his tone.
There is no way, the main reason is that they really have a love-hate relationship with electricity. They love it because it is convenient and efficient.
The hatred comes from the fact that they have to save again and again, and every kilowatt-hour of electricity has to be calculated carefully, which makes it really painful to use it.
After all, the energy in a mobile power bank is used up very quickly, but it takes a long time to fully charge it.
And most of the time they can only use it at night because there is sunlight during the day to charge the mobile power bank.
Even so, the time they used was still planned, and the first thing to do was to ensure that it would not affect the construction progress of the steamship.
Then a little bit of electricity is squeezed out from it to supply other groups, and it must be used with caution.
They were afraid that they would accidentally consume too much electricity and affect other groups or the production of steamship parts.
