The flower city is scorching hot in August.
But the transformer on the street is still under maintenance.
In other words, these maintenance technicians have superb skills. The transformer, which should have been replaced long ago, is still standing strong and just needs to be repaired several times a day.
Until the new transformer is in place, residents can only silently endure the days without electricity.
Fortunately, very few households had electric fans, so the impact was not as great as Zhang Hongcheng had imagined. Everyone could survive by fanning themselves and relying on kerosene lamps.
The ones who remain optimistic about the frequent power outages at night are the children - the school allows them to shorten their daily homework hours.
The streets under the moonlight were filled with the sounds of children playing and fighting.
People moved stools and sat around the windy street corner, with all kinds of palm-leaf fans fluttering in the wind and teapots filled again and again.
Chen Beilei pulled a few colleagues together to chat and talk. Chu Miaohong looked at them and felt that the whole world was particularly lively.
Zhang Hongcheng was fanning himself absentmindedly, his eyes fixed on the faint location of the transformer in the darkness.
Chu Miaohong turned around and looked at him.
"how?"
"Is the task Minister Li gave you very troublesome?"
Zhang Hongcheng subconsciously replied with a teasing remark.
"That's not a problem. The most troublesome thing is that we still can't find our grandfather..."
Chu Miaohong was speechless.
Although Zhang Hongcheng was joking, she was also worried about this matter.
She spoke as if she didn't want to marry him sooner.
Zhang Hongcheng had been staring at the transformer just now, but he was actually combining and arranging all the information he had in his mind.
If the old man that Fatty just met is right, Huacheng will have a tough summer this year, with power outages becoming commonplace.
In addition to the previous cluster transformer accident, Huacheng is about to experience three major transformer accidents in succession due to the heavy pressure of electricity consumption in summer.
The main problem is aging equipment.
Zhang Hongcheng didn't have the ability to solve the problem of the aging transformer. The only thing he could think of was how to use this information to make more money for the guesthouse.
Just then, a gust of night wind blew and blew out a candle lit by a child. The child who was doing homework let out another sigh.
"Don't blow it out again, I'm running out of matches, and I still have half of my math skills left!"
Compared to the kids jumping around, he's obviously a top student.
Chu Miaohong was listening to Chen Beilei and the others chattering, but her attention was always on her fiancé.
"Why are you staring at other people's children?"
She nudged the man with her knee.
"Could it be that I didn't study hard enough back then, and now I feel sorry for my teacher?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Hongcheng's lips.
Chu Miaohong was very familiar with his slightly naughty smile.
"No way, my comrade Hongcheng, just watching other people's children do their homework, can you also think of a way to make money?"
Zhang Hongcheng looked at the middle school student who lit the candle again, and suddenly turned his head to ask Chu Miaohong a question.
"Why do you think parents don't light kerosene lamps for their children?"
"Of course it's because candles are bright enough and cheap enough."
"So which is cheaper, electricity or candles?"
Chu Miaohong thought about it seriously.
"Of course it uses electricity. Although candles are cheaper when converted to a monthly price, using electricity is obviously better for protecting the eyesight of children and adults than using candles."
"And if we use electricity, our family can use the light to do housework and make some money by putting up paper boxes. In reality, it should be worthwhile to use electricity."
Zhang Hongcheng secretly held his fiancée's hand.
"Haha, this time I finally know how to use the problem Minister Li gave me to earn the second sum of money needed for the reception."
"Don't brag," Chu Miaohong warned him softly, "sometimes it's not a bad thing to tell your boss that you're not capable enough."
"I understand, but our Mr. Li threw RMB in my face. If I don't pick it up," he smiled and pointed to his heart, "I will have a lasting regret here."
The defective light bulbs that the Corps was preparing to transport were a batch of small bulbs used in flashlights. Unfortunately, there was a problem when filling the inert gas during the production process, resulting in the brightness of this batch of small bulbs not being enough.
The superiors also thought about using it, but when the bulb was replaced with a flashlight, the light became so weak that it almost disappeared when it was four or five meters away from the flashlight.
Several of the first patrolmen who took the lead in using this batch of defective products fell into the ditch.
There is no choice but to rework and recover the materials.
However, after the technical department calculated, they found that the limited materials obtained after rework had to be downgraded. The cost of secondary production with the disassembled raw materials was actually higher than the cost of ordinary production.
Therefore, this batch of defective products has almost become synonymous with waste.
The Corps Electric Light Factory was almost shut down because of this incident.
These small light bulbs have been piled up in the warehouse, and the related processing work is said to be the second most difficult task after running a guesthouse in Shanghai.
This small bulb is indeed far from enough to be used as a flashlight, but if it is just to illuminate an area of a few feet or to make a small room visible, it is completely fine.
Zhang Hongcheng thought of a tool that was extremely popular when he was in college.
A rechargeable battery lamp that is found in almost every dormitory.
At first it was just a large battery with a small light bulb, and later it was gradually equipped with a flashlight head, which looked quite beautiful with its colorful colors.
A full charge can only last about an hour.
