Chapter 55: The Bright Age
So Allendo once again embarked on a sailing ship to the south, laden with gold, and his mission was to buy back the so-called ironclad battleship.
-- The Dividing Line: The Missing Protagonist Has Returned--
"I said, Wise, although you have achieved good results this time, I am very dissatisfied!" Liu Qi looked at Wang Ruizhi, who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "Ah, the 420mm cannon hit the sail battleship, and actually let people bend the barrel, why are you so reckless?" Yes? Can't you kite it? ”
"The minister knows that he is wrong, Your Majesty." Wang Ruizhi understands Liu Qi's thoughts, this thing must be unhappy after being taught a lesson by Mo Qinghan yesterday, so it is just a good face.
"Well, go down and keep trying." Liu Qi said, turned around and walked to the river, and went fishing......
"Your Majesty!" Ulu Mu ran towards Liu Qi.
"What are you doing, so loud, like words, like words, like words? It's not like that, it scared all my fish away! Liu Qi split his head and covered his face with a scolding, which frightened Ulumu's neck and shrunk.
"Well, Your Majesty, Ulufa asked me to inform you, what did you say, the generator and wires and lights are done, let me take you to see it." Ulufa said.
"Really?" Liu Qi's eyes lit up, his eyes were like looking at a beautiful woman, and he was tightened by the chrysanthemums of Ulumu.
"Really, really." Urufa said tremblingly.
"Rush the duck!" With a shout, Liu Qi rushed to the Academy of Science and Technology regardless of his image.
"Your Majesty, this is the generator we made." Ulufa bowed and pointed to a large machine, "Powered by steam, the heat energy of burning coal, etc., is converted into mechanical energy, and then from mechanical energy to electrical energy." ”
"Yes, yes, then set up a national power company today, let's lay the line first, I remember that the pipeline has been reserved." Liu Qi said excitedly.
"Yes!" Uru saluted and walked briskly.
So, a month has passed, the electric lights in the royal capital have been set up, and the people are no longer surprised by these things that began to be installed a month ago, and there are also a lot of bubble-like things in the house, although I don't know what it is, but I heard their majesty say that when the line is completed, there will be no candles at night in the future, emmm, maybe someone will use it, after all, some people have special habits.
"Your Majesty, the design of the new warship has been completed and is ready to start, which is expected to take two months." "In addition, the line erection has been completed, and the power plant now has a total of 10 units, 8 groups of alternating power supply, and the other two groups are reserved for backup, each group of 10 units, which is enough to supply the whole city." ”
"Very well, pass the order, tonight in Times Square, I want to announce the good news!" Liu Qidao.
"Yes, then Your Majesty, the minister will retire first." Ulufa said, bowed to Liu Qi and Mo Qinghan and slowly withdrew.
"Report! Your Majesty, the envoys of the Northern Federation have arrived at the second port. A herald walked in and knelt on one knee.
"In that case, let's see what moths they come up with." Mo Qinghan smiled and waved his hand to let the soldiers go down, "Xiao Qizi, I heard that there is electricity?" ”
"I ...... Yes. Liu Qi wanted to say something, but his strong desire to survive made him dare not say it.
"Well, that's congratulations~" Mo Qinghan smiled, turned around and left, and went fishing...... For some reason, these two guys both fell in love with fishing, and sometimes they even lived in the wild altogether, and did not come back for several months, and all the government was lost to Wang Ruizhi and other members of the Council.
It's night, the stars are shining, but the ground is bright at the moment, in Times Square (formerly the central square), Liu Qi looked at the people holding torches below, and stood up from the high platform, "Dear people, big and small officials, today, we" Qi" country will enter a new era, we will usher in the light that will never be extinguished, below, please put out the candles and wait for the arrival of light. ”
As a result, the torches were extinguished one by one, and the square that had been bright was now pitch black.
"I announce, electric light, on!" Liu Qizhong raised his hands twice, and the electric lights on the street lit up at the same time, bursting out brighter than the original torches, and this kind of lamp is not an incandescent lamp, but an LED lamp developed by Liu Qi's direct order, compared with an incandescent lamp, LED lamps are more energy-saving and have a better lighting effect.
This day has become another unforgettable day in the history of the "Qi" country.
Two days later, Ellendo's caravan entered the royal capital.
"Xuan, the envoy of the Northern Federation, Allendo, enters the temple!" With the sharp voice of a certain creature, Alendor and his party entered the main hall of the council, Alendor looked at the splendid palace, full of emotion, once he came with great pride, now, only left with incomparable inferiority, this country, with no less than the strength of the northern countries, even more than a few points.
"See the two Majesties, long live your majesty, long live, long live!" Alendor knelt down on one knee, Liu Qi didn't care about these etiquette, and even because of the last incident, Liu Qi directly canceled the kneeling of the ministers in the previous court, and just shouted slogans.
"Well, flat, I don't know what the messenger is doing this time?" Liu Qi's voice sounded.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister came this time because the family sent his ministers to pay tribute to His Majesty as a sign of friendship." Elendo's words rang out faintly.
"Well, the gifts will be stored in the inner treasury, is there anything else?" Liu Qi asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has heard of your country's ironclad warships in the royal capital, and hopes to buy back one or two." Alendor held back the fear in his heart and spoke out calmly.
"Huh? How much are you going to pay? Mo Qinghan spoke up.
"We want to buy one back for 100 tons of gold." Alendor said.
"Okay, then I'll sell it to you." Mo Qinghan didn't care, Liu Qi didn't care, anyway, the "new era" level would be eliminated immediately, so don't worry, just right, sell second-hand equipment, didn't there be a country on the earth that relied on this kind of business to make extra money?
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Alendor saluted again excitedly.
"Well, then, it's time to talk about our conditions." Mo Qinghan's words made Allendo's heart rise suddenly.
"We hope that an agreement with the Northern Federation on equal dealing will be reached, that an embassy will be established in the territory of the Northern Federation, and that 100 armed men will be sent to protect the security of the embassy. Mo Qinghan said, cocking his legs again, "In addition, you need to give us about 10 acres of construction area (north acres = acres)." ”
"This ...... I'll have to negotiate this with the head of the family. Alendor said.
"Well, whatever you want." Mo Qinghan didn't care, anyway, Liu Qi of the Northern Continent was going to capture it sooner or later, so it didn't matter~
