Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel
Chapter 483 Power on
The crackling sound of firecrackers startled Director Smith, who almost thought someone was shooting.
Fortunately, the entourage found out the situation in time and came to the parked car to report: "Director, several barbarian countries in the West bought several apartments and just set off firecrackers to celebrate!"
The habit of setting off firecrackers came from the Emperor of Daxia, which was a memory of the past life.
What the superior likes, the subordinates will also like.
Now even the barbarians in the West have learned this.
Smith simply stopped and waited until the bustle in front was over before asking people to drive through this student apartment street.
Because it is close to the university and the whole street is full of apartments, most of them are now bought by small countries from the West and used as student apartments, which has a bit of foreign style.
The beeping of the horn woke up the lively crowd and made way.
Jos was helping Germain move the luggage to the carriage when he saw Director Smith passing by.
Because the car window was wide open, they could see Director Smith's face on their side.
Germain looked at the car with envy. When he first saw this steel creation, he thought it was a creation of the gods.
Although he has adapted to it now, there are few cars after all, and all the people riding them are big shots.
"I wonder if we will ever get to ride in a car one day." Germain couldn't help but envy.
Jos also stared at the car, but he was looking at Director Smith.
Hearing this, he subconsciously said: "Study hard, there will be such a day."
Germain sneered, thinking that his friend was daydreaming.
It's like someone telling you that hard work will definitely make you rich, and insisting on buying lottery tickets will win the first prize. It's all bullshit.
Jos saw the car go away, then he looked away. Seeing Germain's face full of disbelief, he explained to him: "Don't believe it? Do you know who was sitting in the car just now?"
"Who is it?" Germain subconsciously asked back.
"It's Lord Smith, the director of the Electricity Department of the Great Xia Empire, and also a professor at Hadley University. He was still teaching at the school two months ago. Later, because of his contribution to the study of electricity, His Majesty was promoted to the director of the Electricity Department. This is our role model for scholars."
Jos' words were full of envy and jealousy. Smith's experience can be said to be legendary.
He was a teacher in the morning and ascended to the emperor's hall behind the scenes.
He can be called the first person in the Great Xia Empire to change his fate through studying. In recent months, I don't know how many scholars have been eating and living in the laboratory every day, hoping to make a big achievement and replicate his success.
Don't think it's an exaggeration. In a feudal society where official positions are monopolized by the aristocratic bureaucracy, being an official based on knowledge has always caused a sensation.
This is the case in the Great Xia Empire, and it's even worse in the Lionheart Kingdom.
Jermain stayed in the apartment every day. It was the first time he heard this news, and his eyes were red in an instant.
Originally, he thought that Jos was a little obsessed, always calling him His Majesty, and treating himself as a Great Xia person everywhere, completely forgetting his own identity.
Now it seems that his change is normal.
It's not that I'm unpatriotic, it's just that the Lionheart Kingdom is too bad, the difference is too big.
Even though he is a staunch supporter of the Lionheart Kingdom, Germain also had a strong throbbing at this moment, it's better to make a name for himself in the Great Xia Empire.
Jos glanced at his friend, this kind of thought is actually easy to guess, he is not a fool.
But my good friend, it's not that easy to make a name for yourself in the Great Xia Empire. When you see the monsters in the university and then get beaten up by reality repeatedly, you will understand... If you want to make a name for yourself in the Great Xia Empire, you still need the Lionheart Kingdom to help you.
As for how to help yourself, of course, the whole country will be incorporated into the Great Xia, and then you will be awarded an official position for your merits and become a glorious Great Xia official.
On the other hand, Director Smith didn't notice that two foreign students were excited because of him.
After two months of experience, he has completely entered a new role.
To put it bluntly, this position, if you tie a dog up, it will definitely not work well.
But we don't seek excellence, we only seek qualification. Any graduate from Hadley University can do well after some experience.
Director Smith certainly wants to strive for excellence and be the best.
Fortunately, with his life experience, professional knowledge, and the support of academic officials, he quickly adapted.
In addition, the emperor paid more attention to it, so there were no fools to mess up.
Therefore, the electricity popularization plan he took the lead in promoting finally completed the first phase of the project.
Before that, only the palace enjoyed the advanced and cost-free electricity supply, but it was not very stable.
Power transmission and safety are not as easy as imagined.
Fortunately, the professors at Hadley University are indeed strong and have completed project research before.
This time, in order to support Smith to sit firmly on the throne of director, the most luxurious scholar group of this era was formed.
A bunch of masters who can be included in textbooks in the future came out, and even the chores were bigwigs in a certain niche field, so the progress was naturally fast.
When Director Smith arrived at Hadley University, there was already a group of people waiting.
He didn't dare to act rashly, so he got out of the car and trotted forward: "President, professors, why are you still out?"
President Delong smiled, very satisfied with Smith's attitude.
Whether it was fake or not, at least his attitude was impeccable.
"Today is different from the past. It is the first official power supply. Of course we have to come out to greet you. Next time you come back... just come to my office to find me."
Other professors were also laughing. Some of them might be jealous, but seeing Director Smith being so humble, they felt much more comfortable.
Actually, it was natural for everyone to help him. Those who were interested in careers would have a sense of friendship in the future, and those who were focused on academics would inevitably ask Smith for help in obtaining funding.
Everyone benefited from each other and worked together.
After a few pleasantries, everyone stood in three rows, and a photographer took a few photos.
Although electricity had appeared many times, it was the first time that it officially entered the civilian market.
If the repeatedly verified power project failed, it would be fine. If it succeeded... it would definitely be on the front page of the news, so how could they not invite reporters to come?
Because they had to test the power supply at peak time, they obviously couldn't be idle today.
The staff of the Power Department had already started to work, and the power was delivered on time at 10 a.m.
The first phase of the transformation had been completed long ago.
The facilities that looked very simple in later generations were the most advanced Zenith Star technology in this era.
A crude wire can be as exquisite as porcelain in the eyes of others.
The added value brought by technology is so exaggerated.
