"Until a hundred years later, when people look at the electric light, they will always be curious, on the day a hundred years ago, at the moment when the electric light was first displayed in front of people's eyes, when the night was dispelled, what kind of indication did people have, although the electric light is a great witness to the conquest of the night by mankind, and can be said to be one of the greatest inventions given to the world by modern China, but there are so few written records related to it, so that to this day, people are still full of curiosity, and it is regrettable that people can only record through some words, It is a pity that the invention of the electric light did not cause a sensation in China at that time.

100 Years
When twilight was about to fall, there were givers on the streets of Wuchang who lit an oil lamp and put it in the light box of the street lamp. The suspension point of the Wuchang street lamp is in charge of the husband, and after it is lit, it is hung on the lamp pole, and the next day at sunrise it is collected one by one and picked back for preservation. This has been the case since the establishment of street lights in Wuchang.
The street lamps in Wuchang are accustomed to the Shanghai Concession, and even the "Hanging Point Street Lamp Regulations" are copied from the British Concession in Shanghai, and stipulate the time of turning off the street lamps in Wuchang, fuel consumption, maintenance management, etc. Although the light of the oil lamp is average, it dispells the dark night of Wuchang, so that the night of Wuchang is always bright. Even the streets of Wuchang are prosperous,
This makes the market as prosperous as the day at night. Every day when twilight was approaching, as a guard, Zhang Yang would see the groom carrying those glass oil lamps, lighting them and putting them in the light box. But today, although the twilight is approaching, there is still no husband to be seen.
What's going on?
Zhang Yang was puzzled, he was even worried about getting up and changing his husband's body, this street is the street in front of the governor's house, if the time is up, the street lights are not lit, and it will be laughed at.
The flamboyant eyes of the rifle in his hand turned into the distance, thinking anxiously, but now that he was on duty, he naturally couldn't leave his post without permission.
What to do?
Zhang Yang silently thought in his heart, if he was not on duty now, then he could inform the gendarmes to check it out, or go and see it himself, in short, there were various ways, but now he couldn't leave his post.
What to do, what to do, in case the street lights in front of the house can't be lit......
Really, didn't the people in the house notice?
Just when Zhang Yang's heart was anxious, in the back house of the house, Zhu Yifeng, who seemed to be offering a treasure, followed Xu Lingyun, who closed his eyes, and led her to the lamp.
"Xianggong, what the hell is it?"
Liu Lingyun, who closed her eyes, said in a coquettish voice.
"Wait a little longer......"
Looking at the watch, Zhu Yifeng looked a little excited, the electric light is the first "invention" made in order to improve his life after coming to this era, and the reason why he wanted to invent the electric light is because the oil lamp is really unbearable. Although the brightness is solved with whale oil, there will always be a faint fishy smell in the air.
Especially after Xu Lingyun became pregnant, the fishy smell in the house would always aggravate her reaction, and she had to use candles that were not lit, and it was also his wife's physical reasons that made Zhu Yifeng firm in his mind to "invent" electric lights.
In the course of five months, less than 100 tests were carried out, but it took a lot of effort to produce wires, lamp shapes, manufacturing, vacuum extraction, lamp holders, switches, and other corresponding equipment, and then to produce wires, manufacture of electric lights, and planning of power grids.
Of course, the more important thing is probably the generator, although the telegraph office was set up to introduce several generators, but it is only a small DC generator, and even because of the limitation of generator power, Zhu Yifeng's "platinum plan" failed to implement, in the process of designing electric lights, the biggest problem is actually not electric lights, but generators.
Although as a former geek fan, he once made his own wind turbine, but it was only the assembly of industrial products, although he understood the principle of DC generator, but Zhu Yifeng still took a few months to design a theoretical power of about 400 kilowatts of alternator.
Now, with the establishment of the "large" generator power plant outside the city, this power supply is no longer a constraint, and even the generator brought to France is a 1,000 kilowatt generator, and now, the door to the electricity era is about to open.
āā¦ā¦ 5ć4ć3ć2ā¦ā¦ Bright! ā
At the moment when Zhu Yifeng's words fell, the originally dim room lit up in an instant, and the entire governor's mansion and the nearby street official hall, at this moment, the light pierced the darkness.
At this moment, almost everyone was surprised by the light that had never been seen before, in front of the door of the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Yang's eyes widened, he even blinked in disbelief, he looked at the light reflected above his head, and then looked at the street that was reflected by the light like the sun, those eyes were full of incredible colors, the passers-by who were originally walking, were also surprised by this sudden light, they looked at the street lamp that reflected the bright light, and their eyes were full of puzzlement.
No one lights it!
Just when people were puzzled, in the back house of the governor's mansion, Zhu Yifeng looked at the electric light that was lit and said to Xu Lingyun.
"Lingyun, open your eyes!"
The moment she opened her eyes, Xu Lingyun felt that the light seemed to be too dazzling, in fact, the light cannon used indoors should be about 50 watts of candlelight, while the outdoor street lights should be 100 to 150 candles.
"Xianggong, what is this?"
Xu Lingyun looked at the shining thing hanging on the roof in surprise, and her eyes were full of puzzlement and doubt.
"Why is it so bright?"
"It's an electric light!"
Looking at his wife in front of him, Zhu Yifeng gently hugged her, and gently stroked her protruding lower abdomen with both hands, now she has been pregnant for nine months, and the child may be born at any time.
"It is my gift to you and my child, who will live in the light from this day on......"
Yes, this is the electric light is a gift to his wife and children, and with it, the darkness will be sought by mankind for the first time, and his children will live in the light.
"Yifeng, this is a ...... for me and my children"
Xu Lingyun looked up slightly, there was a very bright smile on her face, her eyes were bright, and she looked at Zhu Yifeng very intently, and there was a worship in her eyes that would make any man feel excited, in the face of this worship, Zhu Yifeng lowered her eyes slightly, and she didn't dare to look directly at the worship in her eyes, and said silently:
"Yes, that's right, it's for you and your children, it doesn't need to burn oil, you don't have to smell the oil lamp anymore......"
"Yifeng, you're so nice, what's its name? Tell me, how does it work? ā
As soon as she finished saying this, she shouted out excitedly:
"Apple, Apple, come and have a look, look at the light."
In fact, the whole governor's house was equipped with electric lights, and at the ring outside the door, hearing the lady calling herself, she came in and said:
"Miss, it's also lit up outside, this light is really bright, brighter than the moon."
"Well, let's call it 'Race Moon', you ......"
As she spoke, Xu Lingyun turned to look at Zhu Yifeng, as if she was asking for his meaning, but before she finished speaking, her face changed again, she held Zhu Yifeng violently with one hand, and covered her stomach with the other, showing pain on her face.
"Ah...... It hurts......"
"Lingyun, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Yifeng, who was taken aback by Xu Lingyun's changes, hurriedly helped her, looked at her holding her stomach, and immediately shouted nervously.
"Quick, call the doctor!"
It's almost the end of the day! These days, there are always doctors in the house. When the female doctor arrived, Zhu Yifeng, who was standing outside the door, silently pondered in his heart, and he could hear Xu Lingyun's cry of pain outside the room, as well as the female nun in the hospital who was not fluent in Chinese.
"Ah......h
The bursts of pain made Zhu Yifeng pace nervously, took out the cigarette case, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and then smoked nervously.
Now he doesn't care whether his children are male or female, he only likes the safety of adults and children, after all, in this era, even if the nun from Macau has rich experience, it is just a rental experience, and the current Western medicine is still in the "pre-dawn", in fact, Western medicine really left Chinese medicine far behind, that is, in the following decades, with the efforts of thousands of doctors, Western medicine continued to progress, and finally formed a real science, And Chinese medicine still follows the old tradition of thousands of years.
"Otherwise, I'll ask a Chinese medicine practitioner to come over ......."
Zhu Yifeng muttered in his heart, and under the corridor, the cigarette butts fully showed his current nervousness.
At this time, the atmosphere in the house is a little different from the past, almost everyone knows the news that Mrs. is going to give birth, and when the left and right join the army are in a hurry, they are just waiting for the news in the house, after all, it is the back house, they are inconvenient to enter, originally the reason why they stayed in the house was for this electric light, but they did not expect that the surprise of the electric light has not disappeared, and the news of Mrs. giving birth came out again, in addition to being happy, they also seemed a little nervous, the reason why they were so nervous.
For Luo Bingzhang, who is the right to join the army, he will also look at the back house nervously, now that so much time has passed, why hasn't he been born yet?
When he came back, he asked Zhang Liangji beside him.
"Shi Qing, do you say it will be a son or a daughter?"
Zhang Liangji glanced at Luo Bingzhang, his eyes drooped slightly, and he spit out a sentence slowly.
"It must be a son-in-law!"
There is no doubt, Zhang Liangji has only one thought in his heart, he hopes that his wife will give birth to a son, which will be the son-in-law of Han Du, only in this way can the hearts of the people in the house really settle down. Only then will we see a more ambitious future. Just as his words fell, there was an excited shout from the house.
"Born, born, it's a childe! It's a child......" (To be continued.) )
