Chapter 273 Brilliant and dazzling
As the night deepened and the lights gradually turned on, the Meng family, which had always lit the lights early, did not move. The neighbors who passed by were a little strange, even if the master's house was not there, only the servants were guarding, and the lights should be lit. However, during this time, the Meng family has been knocking and repairing, and it may not have been taken care of for a while.
"Lao Zheng, don't have anything, Zhizhou is not here, do we want to go to the door to take a look?" Jiang Yuanzhou and Zheng Shidao both lived in Zuojin, and seeing that the Meng family had no light inside and outside today, they were a little worried.
"Okay, let's go. ”
Zheng Shidao and Jiang Yuanzhou are Wang Li's right-hand men, and the porter is naturally familiar with these two, and when he saw someone coming, the porter stepped forward with a lantern: "Zheng Tongzhi, Jiang Tongzhi, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, what's going on in the house today, the lights haven't been lit yet. ”
When the porter heard this, he asked about the itch, and immediately began to talk about what happened during the day today: "No, everything has been done, the generator is still being debugged, and it will be lit up in a while." Not only have the lights in the garden been replaced, but the lights under the courtyard wall have also been replaced with electricity, so if there is nothing wrong with the two of them, they might as well come in and sit for a while and have a look at the ......."
In this "look", the lights under the courtyard wall are lit up silently, in fact, they should be lit one by one, but because of the speed, it looks like they are all lit at the same time. The incomparably bright electric lamp shines brightly, shining against the clear glass lampshade, and it is truly dazzling.
However, there are only a dozen or so lights, which illuminate the whole alley clearly, and even the weeds on the side of the road have nowhere to hide, the reptiles and leaves on the stone bricks, the freshly ripened fruits hanging on the trees, and even the veins of the leaves, and the small insects and moths floating in the air, are all clearly illuminated by the lights. Looking up, the light emitted by the huge garden seems to reflect the sky, which shows how bright and catchy it is.
"This ...... It's an electric light?"
"Ah...... Don't. "Even if the porter had known for a long time that the light of the electric lights was bright, he couldn't help but be shocked when he looked at it again.
After all, the lights are too bright, not like waiting for idle candles, and the neighbors are worried that it is a fire, but they don't want to come out to see a neat row of glass lanterns. What glows in the lamp is not a candle flame that is good at jumping, nor is it lamp oil, but a round ball like a night pearl.
"What's this, the Pearl of the Night?"
The night pearl is not a rare thing in Daming, and the light is not big, and it is not blind at all for lighting, so it is better to light a candle: "How can the night pearl have this light." ”
"I came here a few days ago, and I asked about it, and said it was an electric light. ”
"I think I've heard of it at the Graduate School of Engineering. ”
"Didn't you say that you were damming the water, I heard that the dam was being built to generate electricity, and at that time I was still thinking about what electricity could be used for, and it took so much effort to repair it, for a useless thing, it was really not worth it. It's good to look at it now, this thing is not easy to catch fire, if only it could not be easy to catch fire, you can rest assured that you can light it at night, and you don't need to take care of it all the time. ”
"Candle flames have the risk of candle flames, and this electric light also has the risk of electric lights, but if it is so bright, it will be troublesome. ”
"I don't think there's a problem, Vice President Meng's own envoy, let's look at it, if it's okay, go back and wait for the dam to be repaired and it can be electrified, and we will all install it." ”
"You say, this electricity won't be of any use, will it?"
"I've seen things in the engineering college that can move and fan the wind by themselves, I heard that they are called ceiling fans, and they also use electricity, and they are very easy to use, and when it's hot, they blow for a while, and it's so cool. ”
"Since you can fan the wind, you must be able to do something else, it seems to be a very useful thing. ”
Outside the courtyard wall, when the neighbors were talking about it, the big guys and the Meng family gathered in the hall in the garden were extremely quiet, and everyone's faces were dreamlike. They looked up, as if they were not looking at the light, but a vague dream, as if the light was not illuminating the night, but the future of the entire Ming Dynasty.
They looked up tirelessly, and the lights were so dazzling that they were in tears, and they refused to look away. The food was already on the table, but no one moved the chopsticks, everyone quietly looked at the light, and their hearts were surging: "Dam...... When will it be fixed?"
"At the end of the year, the power station can be repaired at the same time. ”
"Then we'll have to figure out and start laying the wires. ”
"In mid-air or underground?"
"It's troublesome underground, it's labor-intensive. ”
"But it's safe, it's neat and good-looking, and you don't have to get the threads everywhere. Moreover, it is necessary to take into account that the thread is easy to age when exposed to direct wind and sun, and it is easy to have problems once the thread is aged. ”
"It's not easy to age underground, and it's very humid. ”
"Moisture, where does the humidity come from!" After all, Daming is currently short of water in the entire north.
"It would be nice to have ready-made underground fortifications like Nanjing. ”
"Can we eat first, the dishes are almost cold, and we can see how long it takes to finish eating." ”
Everyone picked up the chopsticks to eat, although the meal was already a little cold, but everyone still ate very fast, because the light was bright enough, and the dishes that were very particular about color and flavor looked more delicious.
After eating, Meng Yue suggested that the bigwigs wash up first, and then settle them separately, or if they don't settle them, anyway, the Meng family has electricity everywhere, and it looks the same everywhere. However, Meng Yue felt that as soon as the excitement passed, and then took a hot bath, this group of bigwigs, who were already young, would quickly feel sleepy.
Meng Yue couldn't sleep a little, turned on the light in the studio, sat quietly for a while, spread out a cold xuan, and painted an indoor scene with various household appliances: "It's coming soon, right, Xiao Ming?"
After the painting, Meng Yue's sleepiness came up, and the autumn night was slightly cool, and it was excellent to fall asleep.
When he woke up the next day, Hongluo Shiyu told Meng Yue that Wang Li had returned home with Zhu Zaiyou. Because they came back early in the morning, the two of them also had a good look at the electric light, and while they were amazed, they couldn't help but stare at it for a long time. The day is always not as shocking as the night, and Wang Li and Zhu Zaiyou have seen the electric light early, so naturally there will not be too much surprise.
But the group of bigwigs who got the electric lights out actually talked all night, and only ate something before dawn and went to sleep separately, and they should be all asleep at this time.
"Senior brother, Ayou...... Tsk, how do I think Ah You has lost weight. "Zhu Zaiyou is a round-faced little boy, a little baby fat, fleshy, only a few days ago, as soon as he came back, it was like a strip, and the fleshy chin disappeared like this.
Mengyo: I still like little teenagers with fleshy and small chins.
"I haven't eaten much in the past few days, so I ran around, and I was tired, so I went back and asked the kitchen to cook more for him. ”
"Okay, tell me what you want to eat. ”
"Okay, thank you, aunt and uncle. ”
Zhu Zaiyou: Actually, no matter how delicious it is, it's not as good as my aunt's newly painted book these days...... See!
The following is a small theater that has not been roughened for a long time:
If every book had to be crossed once......
Taizu: What are you wearing this time?
Fans: Interstellar entertainment industry, optimistic about you, Your Majesty, please enjoy conquering the entertainment industry and being crowned emperor.
Taizu (smiles): I advise you, it's better to hand over the author!
Fan: Anything else is fine except for this.
Taizu (Chunliang smile): It's really touching, you actually think I have acting skills.
Minister: Your Majesty, do you still remember those years on the shore of Daming Lake, we who were deceived by you into doing a lifetime of day work?
Taizu: Phew, Lao Tzu won by strength!
Chancellor: Yes, but every time we go to the table, we are deceived by you, Your Majesty.
