Chapter 41 Water Pump

The new water pump sure works.

The excited people all ran to watch these new water pumps.

Compared with common domestic water pumps, these new guys are much larger, mainly adding a large solar photovoltaic panel and connected battery. It seems that these water pumps have been refitted, and the people who refitted did not consider such things as aesthetics. From the outside, it seems that the old and new parts are simply connected together, and there is no packaging at all.

But also because of this, everyone can understand it at a glance. It turns out that this water pump uses solar energy!

This is really great. In this world, the most indispensable thing is solar energy, isn't it?

In recent years, various solar energy products have emerged in an endless stream, and advertisements are flying everywhere, but people see more and use less. The main reason, of course, is that it is not cost-effective. It sounds good to be clean and pollution-free. However, in order to be clean and pollution-free, I have to spend more money, so few people are willing.

For example, solar-powered cars cannot run much distance without additional charging. If it is charging, it is not as good as electric vehicles. At least in a few years, electric vehicles only need to replace the battery, and solar vehicles need to replace photovoltaic panels in addition to battery replacement. And, none of them are as good as the original gasoline-burning cars. If you don’t drive fast enough, the mileage is not enough. The time spent on refueling and charging halfway is simply incomparable.

Even with the most popular solar water heaters, the sun is weak in winter when hot water is needed, and the demand for hot water is not large in summer when there is sufficient light energy. In the end, the main source of water heating is gas or electricity. Who would want to make such a fuss?

Of course, there is a big reason here, which is that the local solar and thermal resources are really not good.

But who would have thought that the world would change so quickly? All of a sudden, the light and heat resources are more than twice that of the past, and the electricity and oil and gas, which were so convenient, suddenly disappeared from existence.

And this new water pump makes everyone feel that the door to a new world has been opened: solar power generation. With electricity, what else can't be solved? It seems that the original life is really not far away from me.

As for how to get enough solar photovoltaic panels to generate electricity, and where they should be installed, as ordinary people, it is naturally not their responsibility to consider these.

When the water pump started to work, everyone was more satisfied: look, it is indeed faster than manual work by many times. It would have been better to come earlier.

This kind of complaint was heard by the person who came to deliver the machine and was in charge of debugging, and one of the young men immediately exploded: "Come early? I haven't slept for two days and two nights. Do you know? Do you know! Look at it." My eyes, have you seen them? They are all red and bloodshot. Even when I was playing games at the craziest time, I never did this! If I was killed a few months ago, I wouldn’t believe it. One day, there was no overtime pay, and he was willing to work for dozens of hours in a row. You said, how can you complain that we are late?" The more he talked, the more he felt wronged, which made the people who complained casually very upset. Excuse me.

However, the person next to him smiled and dismantled his desk: "Yes, if it was a few months ago, you must have started sitting in front of the computer when it started to rain heavily, complaining about the government!"
