Chapter 267: Chapter 242: Expansion of Assets_2

    At prest, thermal power geration is still the most widely used in Austrsia, while hydropower is in the testing stage.


    Of course, the reason for all this is that Austrsia has abundant coal resources and doesn''t face the problem of mineral resource shortages faced by other countries. The term "mineral resource shortages" doesn''t ev exist in Austrsia''s dictionary.


    The reservoir that Arthur inspected is located on the Timert River in New South Wales, so this reservoir is also called the Timert Reservoir.


    This is arge reservoir for solving the water problems in New South Wales and the suring area of Sydney, and it is also equipped with hydropower gerating devices, making it the first hydropower station in Austrsia.


    As early as the establishmt of the Power Research Lab, Austrsia had a clear electricity standard, which is 0 volts.


    Together with other industrial electricity standards, Austrsia has now established a rtivelyplete electricity system, and electric lights and power have gradually tered the homes of many Australians.


    Not to mtion, Arthur''s Sydney Pce is definitely one of the currtly best-equipped pces in terms of electricity deploymt.


    At the momt, crystalmps carved from various crystals can be se within the Sydney Pce, and the lights at night are colorful and beautiful.


    Thanks to the increase in per capita ie, Austrsians are no strangers to electric lights.


    The vast majority of Austrsia''s industries have be established in rect years, adopting all new types of industrial equipmt.


    This has led to Austrsia''s industries requiring arge amount of electricity, rather than still relying on steam equipmt from the Industrial Revolution, like Britain''s industries.


    At prest, in all states of Austrsia,rge and small thermal power nts have be established to supply electricity to major cities.


    Ev in Australian Timor, there are ns for the construction of small thermal power nts, but the earliestpletion will not be until next year.


    If you want to talk about the region with the best electricity deploymt at prest, it must be the Capital Territory where Sydney is located.


    The Capital Territory has two thermal power nts internally, onerge thermal power nt to supply electricity to the industrial area, and one medium-sized thermal power nt to supply electricity for domestic use.


    And the Timert Hydropower Station is Austrsia''s first exploration in the field of hydropower geration.


    At prest, streetlights in Austrsia''s major cities have be gradually reced with electric streetlights, although this is a test for the power system, it''s not too much of a burd.


    Austrsia''s electricity system isposed of the National Power Company and the Power Research Lab.


    The National Power Company is jointly owned by the royal family and the governmt, with the governmt holding 50.0% and the royal family holding 49.99%.


    The Power Research Lab is wholly owned by the royal family and is part of the Royal financial group.


    After years of hard work, the Royal financial group has now grown into a giant in Austrsia, controlling sectors such as finance, industry, military industry, shipbuilding, mining, electricity, petroleum, investmt, medicine, food, and so on.


    It can be said that ev without Arthur''s military power and reputation, the various industries controlled by the Royal financial group are ough to sure the stability of Austrsia''s royal family.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    This is also a trump card that Arthur left for his descdants. Ev if the future ruler loses their military power, they can still be a powerful ruler as long as they don''t court disaster.


    As long as the future sessor, like Arthur, values their reputation among the people and continues to operate and maintain it, the position of the Austrsian royal family will not be lost.


    Of course, there must be other reasons for Arthur to personally inspect the Timert Hydropower Station.


    Therge reservoir where the Timert Hydropower Station is located guarantees water supply for the Capital Territory and parts of the cities in New South Wales and is part of the solution to Austrsia''s water resource issues.


    At prest, the governmt ns to build at least trge reservoirs like the Timert Reservoir, which, along with otherrge and small reservoirs, would be ough to meet the water needs of Australia''s poption up to 40 million people.


    And currtly, Austrsia''s poption is just 7 million, far from reaching 40 million.


    After inspecting the reservoir, Arthur immediately rushed to the military factory to watch the testing of the improved model of the MA-96 Maxim Machine Gun, the MA-7 Maxim heavy machine gun.


    After more than a decade, the military factory finally made some improvemts to the Maxim Machine Gun, slightly increasing the output frequcy of the gun, and to some extt, reducing the weight of the machine gun, alleviating the burd on logistics.


    More importantly, the slightly smaller Maxim heavy machine gun can be better installed on motorboats and airnes as their main attack weapons.


    And since Arthur started researching tanks, the weapons for future tanks have also be a headache for the mechanical researchb.


    The future tanks must have a cannon and a heavy machine gun to meet Arthur''s expectation of high firepower.


    Imagine what a spectacr sce it would be if tanks appeared on the battlefield in advance, covered with thick armor and equipped with cannons and machine guns to face the emy''s infantry and cavalry charges?


    Wh the emy''s cavalry attacks a tank with cold weapons, they will understand how desperate the change that technological crush brings to the army can be.
