What is a power station, and how important it is to a civilization with technological development, these things basically don't need to be said.

Even for a special civilization like Luo Ji, where technology and magic developed together, if there was a sudden loss of 'electricity' and electrical appliances, it would undoubtedly have a huge impact and impact on his Myriad Realms civilization.

At present, the gold-level civilization, the main force of power supply, still relies on thermal power stations.

By burning fuels such as coal, heat energy is generated, and then it is converted into electricity to complete power generation.

But as we all know, this requires consumption of resources, and whether it is coal or other fuel resources, for a civilized player, it is actually limited.

Therefore, how to use renewable energy to provide enough power for yourself, so that your civilization can be freed from the constraints of resource constraints, has become a major difficulty for a large number of gold-level players to overcome.

In fact, power plants that recycle renewable energy have already existed.

For example, hydroelectric power, wind power, solar power, etc., all of them.

The problem is that these power generation have limitations.

Hydroelectric power generation has requirements for the environment and terrain. At present, the largest hydroelectric power station in Luoji Wanjie Civilization is located in the Yangtze River Basin.

Based on this restriction alone, hydropower is doomed, and it is difficult to become the main power supply of a civilization.

Wind power generation is less efficient and unstable, so it's even less hopeful.

Solar power generation seems to be very high-end and advanced, and it is easy for some people with little knowledge to feel very awesome, but in fact, Luo Ji has already done it in the past hundred years of development.

He built a solar power plant covering an area of ​​88 hectares for preliminary tests in the Dwarven Province.

This power station is equipped with 1,600 sets of solar power generation devices.

From the construction of the power station to the configuration of various equipment and devices, nearly 400 million financial funds have been spent successively.

Such a solar power station can supply enough electricity to meet the daily electricity consumption of 3,800 nearby households.

As soon as this result came out, the Ministry of Finance directly stated that the cost performance was too low.

Their Myriad Realms civilization is currently very rich in exploitable resources, so the cost-effectiveness of thermal power generation is many times higher than that of solar power generation, and it is also cheaper!

Under this premise, you spend more financial funds, get a large piece of land, and build a solar power station.

If this solar power station can give a second to the thermal power station, that's okay to say.

It's really not possible. In terms of power generation, hydropower stations can also be beaten in seconds, but the result is that they can't be beaten in seconds, and the gap here is not a little, but very large.

This makes it difficult for the Ministry of Finance, which is responsible for evaluating and calculating the value of the project, to allocate more funds for this project in a short period of time. It can even be said that to allocate funds for this project is simply a dereliction of duty by their Ministry of Finance.

At the same time, the original plan to gradually increase the scale and number of solar power stations, which involved at least 50 billion of the follow-up investment plan, was naturally shelved.

For this, at the end of the quarter, the Minister of Finance and the director of the Bureau of Natural Ecology and Environmental Protection quarreled with each other.

Although the thermal power station has strong power supply capacity and high cost performance, it also has a very obvious disadvantage, that is, it will cause environmental pollution.

Today, the Environmental Protection Bureau, which is dominated by elves and goblins, has always attached great importance to this issue.

For them, the fact that solar power plants do not pollute the environment is simply a red heart.

At the beginning of civilization, when they proposed to build a solar power station and popularize it, they strongly supported it. It can even be said that it has received huge support from the entire elves and goblins.

Now, according to the assessment report of the Ministry of Finance, it is said that this project will be put on hold indefinitely. As soon as this matter is said, the two sides will definitely fight for it.

In the end, it was, of course, a victory for the finance minister.

Although each generation of finance ministers has been persecuted due to the huge financial pressure and high development expenses of Wanjie Civilization, it cannot be denied that the ability of each generation who can become ministers is extremely outstanding.

Not to mention this project, even Luo Ji, after watching it, agrees to put it on hold for the time being.

Improvements can continue to be researched, but large-scale construction is pointless, because for now, the effect is too poor.

There is no need to waste financial funds on this matter.

After that, the finance minister inevitably attracted a wave of hatred.

In this regard, this generation of goblin ministers of the Ministry of Finance curled their lips with disdain, and it didn't matter at all.

When Finance Minister, offending people is almost inevitable.

How much financial expenditure do they face every day when managing civilized finances? There are hundreds of thousands of serious projects alone, as well as large and small projects.

If the Ministry of Finance doesn't check and take financial funds seriously, and they don't even need a month's time, their entire year's financial funds for Myriad Realms Civilization will be divided up, and even the Minister of Finance can pat his chest and express that it is definitely not enough. .

Because when these people apply for funding, there is always only one idea in their minds, that is, the more the better.

At the same time, the price/performance ratio is never considered.

And these things that need to be considered are all their Ministry of Finance is doing.

If you want to be the Minister of Finance, you must not be afraid of offending people.

Therefore, the Ministry of Finance has always had the hardest backstage in the whole civilization, that is, their emperor and queen!

As long as Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan support them, it doesn't matter if they offend anyone. After all, what can those people do to them?

"Your Majesty, is it really necessary to engage in such a project at present?"

While speaking, the goblin minister of the Ministry of Finance put the plan of the 'volcanic power station' in his hand on the table.

In the side hall on the side of the government hall, Luo Ji temporarily called all the ministers of relevant departments, including the finance minister, over to discuss the matter.

Regarding the question of the Minister of Finance, Luo Ji said directly...

"Although our Wanjie Civilization currently has an extremely rich resource reserve, it still cannot be changed. The amount of this resource is limited. When the resources are not enough, it will be too late to think about researching and developing this. Therefore, I feel very It is necessary to achieve sufficient results in the field of 'renewable energy' before that."

Hearing this, everyone sitting at the conference table nodded.

Afterwards, Luo Ji looked at Lu Yang, whose brows were slightly wrinkled, and he asked aloud...

"Lu Yang, do you have any questions?"

"Your Majesty, does this 'volcanic power station' use the magma inside the volcano to generate electricity?"

"Yes, it is essentially geothermal power generation. After completion, the power supply will definitely be very considerable, and there is no need for fuel transportation equipment, boiler equipment, or even high-quality renewable energy that does not pollute the environment."

These remarks sounded very tempting. While Lu Yang nodded, as an assistant officer, he also expressed his opinion from his own position and perspective.

"Wei Chen personally feels that the 'volcanic power station' is a relatively 'sensitive' facility. After the announcement, it will definitely arouse opposition from many people, and if any accident occurs during the construction or operation, the public opinion will got worse."

Speaking of which, Lu Yang paused for a while...

"If we really want to set up this project, then we'd better make relative safety facilities and treatment plans in advance."
