"Your Majesty, why did you come to me again? I don't think I invited you? Or, you're coming to see if I've got that oil-burning thing out of the end? ”

The next day, the residence of Mr. Thomson, the Minister of Imperial Science, welcomed His Majesty the Emperor, but listening to the words of this minister, it seemed that he was very unpleasant.

It is also normal that the current Mr. Minister is fully engaged in his scientific research, that is, he wants to invent an unprecedented power system for the giant ship that the empire will build, and this scientific research, where is it so easy to do, even if it is Mr. Thomson, such an excellent scientist, it cannot be achieved overnight.

Therefore, he naturally had no good face for this suddenly uninvited emperor.

"Ah, Mr. Thomson, don't be angry, I'm coming back, of course, I don't mean that." Li Mengyang explained with a smile, in fact, he understood Thomson's mood at this time, because that kind of engine was definitely very difficult, but Li Mengyang also had something to do this time, "You take a look at this first." ”

Needless to say, it's another abstract masterpiece, but this time it's simple......

"Electric light? You're going to do this? ”

It was a light bulb on the paper, and apparently, Thomson must have seen it. This somewhat surprised Li Mengyang, but he is also the emperor now, and there is still some kung fu on his face, and no one can see the surprise of the emperor's majesty.

"yes, that's what I'm going to do."

Li Mengyang said very firmly, but Thomson shook his head.

"This thing is very troublesome, if you want to benefit the people of the empire, then you might as well build gas lamps, that thing is still very good. By the way, it seems that someone has noticed that there seems to be oil around Los Angeles, so gas should be ......."

That's Thomson's point, he's a gaslighting proponent.

After Li Mengyang listened, he was somewhat dumbfounded, of course, this is not because the emperor thinks that the gas lamp was invented by the British, so Thomson is more oriented to the British, and Li Mengyang's brain is not so simple.

In fact, from the current point of view, gas lighting is already a relatively mature technology, not only the United Kingdom, the United States, France, many countries are now engaged in this thing, the brightness of gas lighting is still very good.

However, if this kind of thing wants to enter the family, it is really not easy, because this thing needs to be maintained, and if it burns gas, it will naturally be relatively dirty, and no one can wipe it often, besides, that thing is not small, and now most of them are made of street lights.

That is, from the perspective of the future, this gaslamp does not seem to have much development, but if you consider it from a realistic perspective. It's a proven technology, which means lower costs, saves money, and has off-the-shelf patterns to clone, which are the most cost-effective practices.

However, of course, Li Mengyang knows that electric light is the direction of development in the future!

"Mr. Thomson, I know the benefits of gaslighting, and I couldn't agree more with you. But isn't it good to make a new invention now? How interesting is that? Li Mengyang is now becoming more and more skillful in speaking.

"Invention? Did you know that this thing had already been invented? Someone has made this kind of thing bright, but it doesn't last very long. Thomson was right, there are electric lights now!

There really is, but however, Li Mengyang is also very clear that the current electric light ......

"What's the point of not being able to light up for how long? I'm going to do it now, and that's something that can illuminate for a long, long time! ”

"Huh?" This piqued Mr. Thomson's interest!

"Your Majesty, can you keep the lights on for a long time? How? ”

Isn't it too simple to ask a traverser about this?

"Put the filament inside, which is the carbonized thing, and the material is tungsten, that's it!"

Yes, it's that simple, but!

"How do you know?"

As soon as this question came out, Li Mengyang was sweating profusely!

yes, how do you know?

You know, someone lit the light bulb decades ago, but it didn't last much time, and the 'light bulb' became a second shooting man, but after so many years, why didn't anyone get this thing out? Why is there no one to make all kinds of materials?

It's very simple, because of this kind of reality, Li Mengyang knows, of course he has heard Edison's story, that is, to find all kinds of materials, but you Li Mengyang doesn't seem to have done this!

Looking for various materials to test, can an emperor hide this matter from others?

Of course, I won't hide it.

However, if you don't have a real thing, how do you know that this material is right?

Li Mengyang has forgotten this at all, because he is not a scientist himself, and he has always used abstract methods, and he has always been very smooth, so what can he do now?

"Ahem...... Li Mengyang coughed first, his brain was running rapidly, there were!

"This is the ancient wisdom of the ancient countries of the East, and we people there know that tungsten has this characteristic, and when it is struck by lightning, this thing will emit that incredible light......

"Oh?" Thomson will be skeptical.

This is a really good move, push it to China, anyway, you Thomson don't know about China. As soon as he saw that his tricks were useful, Li Mengyang immediately made persistent efforts.

"Let's try it, it's a combination of East and West, right? What if this tungsten filament lasts for a long time after the power is applied? I've heard from others too, and I'd love to see it too, okay? ”

"Okay!"

His Majesty the Emperor has said so, and the Minister of Science doesn't have much to say, isn't it just to get a light bulb?

Light bulbs have been around for a long time, but the Empire hasn't done anything like this now, so it needs the support of the glass factory. Fortunately, the original California also built a glass factory, and this was all around 1855, and even better, this part of California, which is really rich in mineral resources, really has tungsten ore here.

Li Mengyang knows that the most tungsten ore in the world is in his own motherland, that is to say, there are not many such metals in other parts of the world, but now, don't say it, there is really luck.

Then just wait.

A month later, everything was done, light bulbs, filaments, including electricity, or how could I come to the Minister of Science, Li Mengyang didn't really know much about electricity.

"Comrades! Now it's time to witness the miracle! ”

Li Mengyang wants to make a light bulb, then the emperor's majesty is naturally unable to hide this matter, and soon, almost everyone in San Francisco knows about it, but after all, it is the emperor, and after all, it is a real yàn, so you can't let everyone come to see it, right?

What if it fails?

In fact, Li Mengyang's confidence is still very strong, but he can't stand others, as an emperor, your prestige cannot be lost.

So, this time, the miracle was witnessed by the ministers and officials of the empire, as well as the three concubines. Of course, they can't be missing, it's because of them that there is today's real yàn, so in this case, it's also because of the landlord?

Well, don't worry about those details, I saw a big black man walk out.

"This is Sergeant James, who has made immortal deeds in the town of Yuma!" Liszt also gave a full narration.

Many people know about the victory of Yuma Town, but not many people know what is going on, what is this black man in front of him, what is he going to do?

There's also something that looks like a bicycle next to it......

"That's it! Let's go! Li Mengyang didn't say much, his eyes signaled.

“YES！ YOUR-MEJIASTY！ James nodded, and rode on!

Here we go! It's finally getting started!

Buzz Buzz ...... The wheel turned, and the electromagnetic circle began to work!

"Ahhh James let out a painful howl again as before, because his thighs were really sore.

At this moment, there was a blue electric light, as if it was crawling towards the light bulb!

"......" all the people held their breath because they really had to witness history!

It's lit up! The light bulb is on!

"Ahh

Bang Bang Bang ......

Exclaim, applaud, the whole real yàn is a great success!

"Comrades! Our lights are on! What a great invention! What a miracle! This is a bright time for humanity! This is a miracle comparable to Prometheus! …… Let's praise together! Liszt's mouth was thumping, thumping, like a Gatling gun, and all sorts of flattering words, as if he didn't want money...... Well, it's true that no money is needed.

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

This time, not only the officials were shouting, but the three concubines were shouting, and the shouting was still so heartfelt.

Is this invention, this light bulb, so important?

Li Mengyang, a traverser, has no superfluous feelings, and if he had, he should have taken out this invention early in the morning, because as far as the light bulb is concerned, he feels really normal.

But for humans, for people of the 19th century, this mode of illumination, this small, bright thing, is simply amazing, and so meaningful!

Human beings, since the history of human beings, have been pursuing light, but before that, human beings had no more abilities, and until now, the strongest is just a gas lamp, and this is not something that everyone can enjoy, and other things, such as candles and oil lamps, the brightness is too low.

So, at night, everyone basically just sleeps.

In other words, the progress of lighting is to give humans more time to move!

Human beings are equivalent to one more night, of course, we can't possess every night, otherwise we can't stand it, but time has increased, how much does this mean?

Li Mengyang only at this time, he finally realized this, he really couldn't imagine before, he was a future person, but he felt that the sunrise and sunset were resting, which was good for his health, otherwise he would have done this a long time ago.

But...... This thing is all because the three wives fight the landlord, this ...... Well, don't bother with these details, and no one else will know about them except the four of them. Even if others knew, they wouldn't believe it, great Clint. How could Lee have invented the light bulb for such a boring reason?

Looking at the bright point of light and the cheering crowd, Li Mengyang immediately thought again, this thing seems to have been invented by Edison, and Edison's guy ...... Forget it, it's up to us now, but!

"Comrades! Don't worry, the electric light has been around for a long time, and what we need now is to confirm how long the electric light will last. Mr. Thomson was also very excited, but he still retained the calm of a scientist!

How long?

Then that is, the filament sticks to the time, but now...... How long will James last?

"Wow!"

"Look!"

Sergeant James started to flick his tongue again...... R1152
