The situation on Mond's side was unexpected for Takumi.
He never imagined that Mond's current electricity was actually not enough.
Thinking of this, Takumi asked Nuwa curiously:
"Nuwa, what's going on with Mond's power grid?"
"Why is their electricity running out now?"
Hearing Takumi's question, Nuwa's voice sounded:
[A large number of factories have appeared in Mond.]
[Among them, Mr. Diluc's beverage factory and winery are the largest.]
[In addition, some workshops for small household appliances have also been built.]
[Furthermore, the farms in Springvale have expanded a lot.]
[They also ordered some mechanical systems from Liyue.]
Nuwa explained Mond's situation in detail.
After listening, Takumi finally understood.
In short:
Mond's development was too fast, and the existing power grid could no longer keep up.
Most of the new facilities were factories.
Relying only on wind power and Mond's original power plant was not enough.
Therefore, Mond needed a new power source.
After thinking for a moment, Takumi asked:
"Can you calculate how long before Liyue's electricity becomes insufficient?"
Since Mond was facing this problem,
wouldn't it be Liyue's turn soon?
Although Liyue had more power stations,
many factories had been built recently.
More businessmen were starting factories too.
So sooner or later, electricity would face shortages.
Nuwa responded immediately.
A statistical report appeared on Ningguang's phone.
Takumi glanced at it and instantly understood.
Ningguang also leaned over curiously.
[Liyue Harbor currently consumes the most electricity.]
[According to projections, if more large factories are built, electricity may enter an overloaded state.]
[It is recommended to build a new power station.]
[Gui Li Yuan's energy storage is sufficient for now.]
[But as Mingyun Village continues developing, consumption will rise.]
[The most abundant power supply comes from Qingce Village and Cuijue Slope.]
[There will be no shortage elsewhere for now.]
[Final conclusion: Liyue will not face power shortages in the short term.]
[However, it is recommended to connect Cuijue Slope's power system to Liyue Harbor to transfer electricity.]
[In the long term, preparations for new energy sources are needed.]
Listening to Nuwa's report, Takumi and Ningguang exchanged glances.
"Looks like we need to build a new power station."
"Otherwise, this won't work."
"At this rate, development will outpace the grid soon."
It wasn't surprising.
Just a matter of time.
Ningguang nodded.
"Then should we build a few more hydroelectric plants?"
"Prepare in advance."
Takumi shook his head.
"No need."
"I'll go to Sumeru soon."
"Their Power Tree is amazing."
"I'll see if I can bring back some seeds and cultivate them."
The Power Tree was far better than blast generators.
Takumi planned to go to Sumeru and use his power to grow a Power Tree.
If it worked,
Liyue would never worry about electricity again.
Other nations too.
If one wasn't enough, they could plant two.
No problem at all.
As long as Takumi could copy it.
Hearing the term "Power Tree," Ningguang's eyes lit up.
"That's good."
Then she looked at him seriously:
"So what do you think about Jean's proposal in the document?"
"Are we taking on this project?"
Jean obviously sent this request hoping that Liyue would handle the construction.
Mond would just pay.
Takumi nodded.
"If there's money, why not make it?"
"When the time comes, I'll go there myself."
"I can give her the route in minutes."
"As for the power system with the Electro Hypostasis—it's simple."
"Just a structural issue."
He returned the phone to Ningguang.
The rest—pricing and negotiation—was up to Ningguang and Jean.
When everything was ready,
Takumi would take Klee to Mond and enjoy a small trip.
By then, Klee should be on vacation.
And Takumi could help Mond build their power grid.
Ningguang nodded and put her phone away.
"Alright."
"I'll negotiate the pricing with her."
"Let her prepare the preliminary work."
"You just go when the time comes."
She knew Takumi hated troublesome tasks.
She would handle negotiations.
Takumi only needed to appear and build.
Takumi nodded.
"Okay."
"Tell them to build the grid structure first."
"They should already know how to do it."
"I'll install the core device when I get there."
"As for the dock—have them build the necessary buildings first."
"Then I'll help them handle the energy systems."
"And mechanical installations… send some people from the Mechanism Workshop over."
"You arrange it."
Building a dock couldn't be done casually.
It needed to match Liyue's current standard—
a port capable of holding massive ships.
Mond's Windrise region was vast.
Jean's request clearly indicated a desire for a large port.
Not a small one.
She even seemed to want to develop a port town there.
Not a bad idea.
Windrise was basically a huge pasture filled with windmills.
Building a port town there wasn't bad at all.
Good development potential.
Ningguang nodded,
recording all of Takumi's instructions.
Then she said:
"Then I'll head back first."
"I'll contact her about all this."
She then turned and walked back to the manor.
To discuss everything with Jean.
As for Takumi—
He watched the dump trucks for a while,
saw that no accidents occurred,
then lost interest and headed back to the manor as well.
He took out his phone and @mentioned Nahida in the group.
Next stop: Sumeru.
Time to secure the Power Tree.
