The main courtyard of the Yellow Mansion is as bright as day.

The little maids and maids were all alarmed, if it weren't for the dusk, they would have been told earlier, but they were afraid that the main courtyard would be full of people, and because tonight was the wedding night, the people under them had a little eyesight, pressed their curiosity, and were busy with their own affairs, and then went to the main courtyard tomorrow to see the amazing work of the little master of the main family.

Huang Guan, Wu Pu, and Xu Huizu came to the courtyard.

Scarlet Spring hurriedly got up.

Dusk took Xu Miaojin's hand and came to everyone, and said with a very "modest" smile: "Let you laugh, this is just a little insignificant work of mine." ”

The crowd was speechless.

Is this insignificant?

Then how extraordinary should your so-called works that can be written about be so unconventional?

Huang Guan coughed, "Duan, what kind of thing is this, how is it so magical, far brighter than red candles and oil lamps, and there is no smell of fireworks, it is magical, Western things?" ”

Dusk hehehedark music.

Western?

There is no electricity in the West now!

Pointing to the few electric piles made of wood after coking in the yard, he said to everyone: "Let me talk carefully, this is called an electric pile, which is made of wood, and the long strips on the electric pile, the surface layer is a special porcelain pipe, and the porcelain pipe is a layer of painted copper wires - the reason why porcelain pipes are used is for safety, but for the use of wind and rain, and the third is to protect the copper wires." The luminous part, I call it the bulb, the outer cover is made of glass, because the time is pressing, the shape is relatively simple, in the future I will let Lao Li's workshop produce a beautiful bulb, as for the luminous parts of the bulb, called the wick, in fact, it is bamboo, limited by the material, easy to break, about a few days to replace the wick. ”

Wu Pu asked, "But why does bamboo shine?" ”

"The specific principle is more difficult to explain, but it is one word: science." ”

Well, now Da Ming doesn't understand the word science enough.

So he said: "It's all the truth of the tree." ”

The crowd was still at a loss.

Seeing this, Dusk took Xu Miaojin's hand and said softly, "Sister Jin, I'll take you to have a look." Then he said to the people, "Come, please, or you will not sleep tonight." ”

And so it was.

I really can't understand why bamboo can glow when connected to copper wires, which is amazing.

So they all followed behind dusk and came to the small house behind the main courtyard.

There were three big men in the small house at this time.

The two were resting, and a big man was in front of a strangely shaped machine, constantly rotating the rotor at a uniform speed, and the copper wire extending from the machine penetrated the main courtyard through the porcelain tube along the wall.

Dusk signaled the big man who shook the rotor not to stop.

He explained to the crowd: "This machine, I call it a human generator, the light bulb in the main courtyard will emit light, because of the energy generated by this generator, I still don't explain the specific principle, because you can't understand it. ”

The crowd really couldn't understand it.

But Huang Guan, Wu Pu, and Xu Huizu breathed a sigh, it's good that they are not gods and gods.

Before dusk go the magic stick route.

Now if you make a ghost thing out, I'm afraid that it will really be burned by Zhu Di.

Dusk said: "In fact, manpower generation is very wasteful and unstable, but there is no way, there is no river around this house, and the wind is not enough, if you use firepower to generate electricity, it is feasible, but it still needs time to improve the equipment, so for the time being, I think so, I hired these three wrestlers, and let them work whenever night falls." ”

Wu Pu thought thoughtfully, "What if it's in the middle of the night?" ”

Dusk smiled bitterly, "This is a problem, at the moment, it is only necessary to let them work all night, and during the peak period of electricity consumption, the three of them must not slack off." As for the middle of the night, it can be imagined that a cable is set up in each room of the main courtyard to connect to this power room, and then a bell. Someone was going to get up at night, so they pulled the string, and as soon as the bell rang, the three wrestlers immediately got up to work. ”

That's all there is to it.

There's no way to come up with a battery storage right now.

Huang Guan bowed, "It's a good idea, but the salaries of these three won't be low, right?" ”

It's a technical job.

To maintain a balanced speed, even if three people take turns, one person must insist on continuous time, which is fine in the short term, but in the long run, it will be extremely depleting to the body.

Who's going to come when the money is less?

Dusk smiled and said to the two resting wrestlers: "Are you still satisfied with the salary I gave?" ”

One of the wrestlers replied, "The petty official has given me thirty taels of silver a month, and I am grateful." ”

Thirty taels of silver, that's a high salary!

It means that this power generation house will cost 1,000 taels of silver for labor costs alone, which is a real luxury piled up with money - but it is definitely worth the money.

Dusk patted him on the shoulder, "You work hard, I will give you an extra reward at the end of the year." ”

Lux hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

Dusk pulled Xu Miaojin to turn around, "Let's go back." ”

The crowd returned to the front yard.

Xu Huizu was thoughtful, and suddenly smiled deeply, and took Dusk's hand, "Dusk, how much does this thing cost when it comes down, why don't you get a set for our Xu Mansion, it will be convenient for Miaojin to go back to her parents' house." ”

Dusk's heart chuckled.

After thinking about it, I couldn't let go of this matter, so I said: "If you go down the whole **, it will take about twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver, Brother Zu, we are all relatives, I won't see you if there are some words, this electric pile, the material of the bulb, and the production are not difficult, the difficult thing is the set of equipment in the power generation room, you must know that the core production of that set of equipment is made by me who made a special trip to Leizhou." ”

After a pause, he said, "This is very valuable." ”

Brothers settle accounts.

Rao is Xu Huizu, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, is also dumbfounded, twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver?

Why don't you go and grab it.

So he looked at Xu Miaojin.

Xu Miaojin was a little embarrassed, "I don't know either." ”

This is a euphemism for Dusk.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Xu Huizu looked helpless, the girl who got married spilled the water.

Dusk's heart is getting warmer.

Said: "This power generation equipment, I am going to take it out in the future, and when the time comes, I will give Xu Fu a set of conscience price, but at least it is more than 10,000 taels of silver, Brother Zu, you have a psychological preparation, to be honest, these equipment are indeed not worth 10,000 taels of silver, but I can manufacture these things, and the cost of my knowledge is very high." ”

There's something called intellectual property.

This thing must be trying to sell it to Zhu Di and make him a few bucks!

More than 10,000 taels of silver?

Xu Huizu thought for a while and gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll book a set first." ”

After tonight, he was completely relieved.

Even if the brother-in-law is not a good man, with this brain and ability, with the goal of being the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, it seems that it is not difficult, he is rich, and he knows many powerful people, such a brother-in-law can't give the third sister happiness?

That's a joke.
