Chapter 59 [Infrastructure: Satellite Receivers and Signal Towers]
The generator can generate 2,000 kWh of electricity every day during the dry season, which can fully meet the needs of the entire Lagar Village. There is also surplus electricity, of course, it cannot be stored. These surplus electricity can be used to supply signal towers and satellite receivers during the day. At night, it can also be used for street lighting. Of course, the investment in these street lights is too large, and such living facilities cannot be achieved at this stage.
In the process of site selection and construction of the hydroelectric generator, Belsinger did not need to participate in person, but only put forward some opinions during the site selection process. After the construction of the hydroelectric generator started, Singh took people to the highest peak in the family territory on the back mountain, which is more than 800 meters above sea level. A mountaintop was completely cleaned up, all the trees on the mountain were cut down, and then a four-meter-high signal tower was erected.
Don't underestimate this signal tower, which can meet the needs of mobile phone signals within five kilometers. After the signal tower is powered on, it can meet the needs of mobile phone communications in the entire Lagar Village. From then on, Lagar Village could use mobile phones. After the signal tower was erected, a satellite receiver of two square meters was placed on the castle. With this satellite receiver, Gary could watch satellite TV and no longer worry about boredom all day long.
Five days later, some advanced electrical appliances purchased from Udaipur were finally transported back to the valley by Jamal. Ten days later, the hydroelectric generator was operating normally and could provide 2,000 degrees of electricity per day. Then the mobile phone signal tower and satellite receiver were all connected to the power supply. When the 30-inch color TV at home received the satellite picture for the first time, the whole Singh family was boiling.
Finally, we can watch TV and finally understand what the world outside is like. How can everyone not be happy? Moreover, electric lights, mobile phones and even rice cookers can operate 24 hours a day, finally getting rid of the primitive life of working from sunrise to sunset. With a modern look, the expensive electrical appliances bought by Bel Singh finally came in handy.
The underground refrigerator in the house finally ended its mission and was replaced by a brand new 150-liter freezer. Because it can be used to store all kinds of freshly slaughtered meat, if well preserved, it can be kept for about six months. You can even freeze some ice cubes, or buy some popsicles and put them in it to solve the hot and humid weather in the rainy season. It is the best partner.
With electricity, all electrification can be used, and the house decoration is officially on the agenda. The appearance of this sandstone castle looks very simple and vicissitudes. In fact, it has only a hundred years of history. Because it is in the deep mountains and the effects of rainy and dry seasons, the castle looks spotted on the outside, but in fact, those are mosses.
The design of the castle house is reasonable. There is a garden of hundreds of square meters in the middle. The outside of the castle is all made of solid sandstone. There is no need for any decoration. Plant some creepers and roses. After a few years, the entire castle can be completely covered with greenery. The main content of the decoration is the interior. Shovel off all the coatings used in the castle, and then apply a layer of cement.
Scrape a layer of wall dust and apply bright paint. The floor is paved with tiles for easy scrubbing, especially the kitchen has been thoroughly transformed. All the rooms were covered with white tiles, a sink was built, and then a gas stove was installed. From then on, the habit of burning firewood was changed.
The second major change was the bathroom. Of course, firewood was still used to boil water. The boiled water was very soft and conducive to human skin absorption. The only thing that needed to be improved was the small cement bathroom. A bathroom of only five square meters could be transformed so that you could not only take a bath but also swim in it.
The toilet was built with a toilet and a washbasin. All the wires in the house needed to be rearranged, and then the plugs were installed. The newly bought expensive, large crystal chandelier was placed in the center of the living room, and the surroundings were hung with oil paintings of the patriarchs and wives of the Singh family. Then in the center was a leather sofa, a TV, a stereo, and a satellite phone on the coffee table.
The biggest change in the house was the roof. A five-square-meter hole was directly opened, and a semi-circular central air-conditioning facility facing the back mountain was built. In this way, the breeze from the mountain can be transported to every room in the castle through the opening of the central air conditioner along the ventilation duct. This is a natural large air conditioner. Whether it is dry season or rainy season, the air circulation in the entire castle can be guaranteed, and it will not be too humid or stuffy, solving the problem of moss growing in the entire castle.
In less than a month, the earthy yellow castle with two floors and very strong combat power has completely changed. The roses or creepers planted by the wall are all thriving. Now they have climbed all the walls on the first floor, and it looks very green and comfortable. The interior decoration of the entire castle has also been completed by 80%, and 95% of the decoration materials used are all imported from China.
On this day, the most important building in the entire castle is being renovated, that is, the master bedroom, which is the room where the Belsinger couple live. It is in the center of the second floor, facing north and south, and the lighting is very good. Opening the window of the master bedroom, you can see the central garden in the center of the castle. The master bedroom is very large, reaching more than 100 square meters. It used to be just a large room of more than 100 square meters, surrounded by some old and dilapidated furniture.
But don't underestimate these furnitures, all of which are made of solid wood and are dark purple. After asking the old housekeeper Jamal, I learned that these dark purple furnitures are all small-leaf red sandalwood. After all, India is also the hometown of sandalwood. After being sorted and repaired, the old furniture has been renovated and restored. It is so elegant and luxurious. The 100-square-meter bedroom is divided into different spaces.
There are bedrooms, living rooms, cloakrooms, and a small tea room placed by the sunny window. After a reasonable layout, the bedroom no longer looks so empty. After all, the bedroom is for people to live in. Too big is not popular. At this time, our master Belsinger was directing male servants to place those unique Indian furniture in various locations.
When he was about to lay the precious Persian carpet on the ground, Belsinger felt someone patting his shoulder. Looking back, it was the little girl Lina, who was very shy and blushing and standing behind him. She wanted to see but didn't dare to see her performance, which made Master Singh a little at a loss. He reached out and touched Lina's forehead. He didn't feel feverish and didn't look sick. He asked in confusion.
"Lina, do you have a cold or a fever? Why is your face so red? Tell me where you feel uncomfortable. Let's go to the hospital."
At this time, Lina, the little girl, was not as aggressive as before. She spoke to her husband, Belsinger, in a mosquito-like voice, very embarrassedly. "I'm not sick, Brother Bel, I had my period this morning and needed to go home to prepare for the wedding, so I came to say goodbye to Brother Bel."
