Chapter 103: No one is guilty of being a saint
Most of July has passed unconsciously, and there is still no news of Cao Wang, not even news from the Southern Continent.
Wang Xuan threw off these miscellaneous matters and commanded a platoon of engineers to dig the ground north of the Government Affairs Yuan.
He was going to build a basement and put a steam engine in it to generate electricity.
It reduces noise without taking up the floor, giving you the best of both worlds.
The people in the Government Council don't know what His Majesty is going to do, but they will look at it curiously and watch the excitement.
In just one day, the area was developed, and then the builders entered and began to do the waterproofing.
Five days later, the basement was built and the topping out began.
On the eighth day, the steam engine and generator were installed, but the huge chimney on the ground was somewhat conspicuous.
At the end of July, the course began.
The transformer has not yet been seen, and he doesn't know which gear has the right output voltage, so Wang Xuan uses a larger copper wire, which is brushed with insulating paint and then wound with leather.
Wang Xuan had not done the test before, because he wanted to surprise everyone, and even more so to surprise himself, just like checking the sex of the fetus, he knew it earlier, and he didn't have the expectation when he was born.
Of course, if it is the opposite of the gender that was checked at the beginning, there are still surprises.
For safety, Wang Xuan erected six power poles in a short distance of a few hundred meters from the power generation office to the government affairs court.
Since it was a daytime construction, it did not shy away from outsiders, and in addition to the administrative staff of the Government Affairs Yuan, many people who came to do business would also stop to watch and discuss.
The first thing to install was the main light in the lobby on the first floor.
Of course, it is a bright line and a ceramic tube is used as an outerwear.
When they left their posts in the evening, the officials hardly left, just waiting for the rumored 'big event' to appear.
There are still people in the lobby busy, checking the wiring and switches.
"How?" asked Wang Xuan.
"Back to Your Majesty, everything is normal, but I don't know which gear of the steam engine is appropriate. The engineer platoon commander said.
"It's okay, there are dozens of light bulbs here, so there's room for trial and error. ”
It was getting late, and the light in the hall was dimming.
The relevant personnel of the research institute, members of the steam unit, members of the generator set, technicians of the steel mill, technicians of the glass factory, four members of the cabinet, and personnel of the ministries and commissions sat on the stools around them, waiting for the unknown 'big event' to happen.
"It's almost time, tell the other side to start the steam engine, starting in first gear. Wang Xuan gave an order.
After a while, there was a slight sound of a steam engine, and then someone reported: "Your Majesty, the steam engine has been running steadily in first gear. ”
Wang Xuan waved his hand and walked to the switch at the door in person.
Everyone's eyes also moved with his figure, and finally fixed in the wooden box at the height of one person, where there was a red wooden handle that connected to the mechanism inside the box.
Wang Xuan stretched out his trembling right hand and lightly grasped the red wooden handle.
The scene was extremely quiet, and Wang Xuan could even hear his heartbeat clearly.
After taking three deep breaths, his right hand jerks upward......
The light bulb in the center of the hall suddenly emitted a dazzling light as the switch closed, like the scene when lightning suddenly raged in the dark night, and the huge contrast was very shocking, but the effect at this time was even more than that.
The sudden light stung everyone's eyes, and it took a while for them to recover, and when they opened their eyes again, they saw another world.
This is the world of daylight, which is no different from the usual, and it is delicately revealed.
Where the candlelight cannot be reflected on weekdays, there is no hiding under the infection of the light, and the bright place is better than the daylight.
Zhang Yun opened his mouth, and he could clearly see the same surprised expression on the face of the engineer ten meters away, which he had never dared to think of before.
The scene was still silent, and Wang Xuan could see everyone's expressions and demeanors clearly, and this was the effect he wanted.
With light, auspiciousness is no longer dark.
With light, we can illuminate the way forward.
In the same way, with light, the mascot's heart will have more warmth and hope.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and then all eyes focused on Wang Xuan.
"This is science, and this is also the purpose of my research institute, human beings can create miracles, and we are on the road to creating miracles, and we have never been far away. ”
His Majesty's words have caused deep thought among everyone, especially the researchers.
As a member of the research institute, they don't even know how many projects they are working on, which shows the breadth of their scope and the size of the organization.
"It's called an electric lamp, and when you add the electricity you're producing, the combination of the two will emit light and heat up. ”
"Long live auspiciousness, long live Your Majesty......"
The sudden slogan almost made Wang Xuanlei faint, he had never seen the world before.
But his heart was also excited at this time.
It's a picture.
The government council suddenly emitted a bright light several times higher than usual, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
It was much brighter than usual, so someone came to see what was going on with curiosity.
Before he could get closer, he was frightened by the loud sound of 'Banzai'.
"Long live auspiciousness, long live Your Majesty!" the voice continued to come, getting louder and louder.
"This?" someone hesitated.
"Isn't it His Majesty's handiwork?" someone speculated.
"It seems that it should be, our majesty is the embodiment of miracles. ”
The people in the hall shouted unscrupulously for a while, and Wang Xuan's words gradually calmed down, and the appearance of electric lights was much more amazing than when porcelain first came out.
"Put them in second gear. Wang Xuan commanded,
"Yes, second gear. ”
After a while, I saw that the brightness of the bulb had been significantly improved, and it became more dazzling.
Wang Xuan kept experimenting, and finally in the third gear, the carbonized filament only lasted less than a few breaths before it broke.
The light bulb was changed again, and the hall was bright again.
On 1 August, dozens of media outlets, including "Jixiang Times," "Jixiang Weekly," "Wang's Current Affairs," "Time Weekly," and "Xingyaohu Daily," reported on the miraculous incident that occurred in the Government Council.
Outside the nickname, the government affairs yuan suddenly appeared bright, and the room was like daylight, it turned out to be what it did, everything in the "Xingyao Lake News". ”
"The auspicious reappearance of the miracle, the Government Council became the first beneficiary, and the secret is in "Playboy". ”
"Time Magazine exclusively revealed the mystery of the white light in the Government Council, buy it early and know it early. ”
The newsboys carried heavy newspaper satchels and worked hard to publicize.
People who have lived in Jixiang for a period of time know that the development of Jixiang newspaper industry is beyond the reach of any place in the whole continent, so living in Jixiang, you can receive the latest and most complete information every day.
The content includes all kinds of gossip, lace news, government policies, royal family dynamics (subject to review), jokes, recruitment information, advertisements, event information, popular science knowledge, national defense construction, etc.
Life is not as auspicious as other places, if you don't drag a few words of current affairs, don't express your views on the news, you are embarrassed to say that you are an auspicious person.
It is precisely because of these time-sensitive news that the people on this land have taken a lot of detours, so that the efficiency of production and life has been greatly improved, in other words, the timely and high-speed transmission of information has become another propellant for the rapid development of auspiciousness.
In Wang Xuan's view, there is always a feeling of the rising sunrise masses.
It was on this day that the auspicious electric light began to be known to the world.
"Didn't you hide all the good things in the past, why are you so impatient this time?" Qing'er fried eggs while talking casually to Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan was washing Xiao Wang Jing's face, and the eldest princess of King Jixiang was still sleepy-eyed, letting her father rub her face back and forth with a towel.
"Today is different from the past, auspiciousness will no longer be low-key. ”
Qing'er sneered, "Come on, don't tell us about your reasoning, Jing'er wake up and have breakfast." ”
After a while, Xiao Wang Jing opened her eyes and took the soup spoon and ate the porridge in one bite.
Qing'er handed Wang Xuan a piece of pancake, and asked by the way, "When will we install it?"
Wang Xuan knew that it was the electric light that he was asking, so he replied: "It will have to be delayed for a few days, and we will install it again when the Government Council has all installed it." ”
Wang Hua was a little unhappy when she heard this, and said, "Every time there is a good thing, we are always the last, can't you be selfish once?"
Wang Xuan smiled awkwardly, and said carefully: "It's still unstable, wait for a few more days to test over there, and after it is stable, let's go directly to the best." ”
Qing'er also helped: "Yes, your brother is the king of a country, if you give priority to yourself in everything, where can you get to this day, let's take a look." ”
Wang Hua saw that her sister-in-law, who had always loved her, was also looking forward to her brother, and suddenly lost her appetite.
So he put down the chopsticks, wiped his mouth for Xiao Wang Jing and said, "I'm full, I'll go to school by myself today, so I don't need to send it." ”
Seeing the figure go away, Wang Xuan felt a little self-reproachful.
"It's also my fault, I haven't had a playmate since I went to school, and I can't always accompany her when she needs it, you take more time to care about her on weekdays, she ......"
Wang Xuan couldn't go on.
Eight years ago, when the brother and sister left the second uncle's house, Hua'er said that she had forgotten her father's appearance, and she blamed herself and cried bitterly.
At that time, Wang Xuan made up his mind to let her live her life without regrets.
But now, only eight years later, he has left his original decision behind, and he blames himself.
Qing'er walked over, hugged Wang Xuan in her arms, and said softly, "I know, I know." ”
Xiao Wang Jing looked at them with some curiosity, and said loudly: "Mother, I want to hug me too." ”
The major newspapers have reported a lot of articles, so that the auspicious electric light once famous.
Although the description is more detailed, what kind of 'bright' method is, people who have not seen it can't understand it, after all, there is no reference.
Then the government announced that a mid-year gala will be held at Jixiang Park on July 15.
Mind you, it's an evening party.
As soon as the news came out, smart people immediately understood that the long-awaited electric light could finally be seen.
This is not difficult to understand, so almost all mascots know that July 15 is the time to witness miracles with their own eyes.
In just one week, the two towns and districts of Xinsong, Xinbei, Hudong and Hubei alone exported nearly 2,000 people to Jixiangcheng.
There is no doubt that they are all coming for the electric light.
When Wang Xuan took his 100 King Kong to visit the park that was still being planned, I am afraid that he could not have imagined that Jixiang would have the status it has today.
This place is already full of green trees, grassy mats, countless birds, and the fragrance of flowers.
Li Guang of the Propaganda Department was not depressed by his brother's imprisonment, but worked at full speed and set the program in just three days.
Jixiang Song and Dance Troupe, Jixiang Grand Theater, Jixiang Crosstalk Association, Jixiang Sketch Association, Quyi Association, etc., and even the flower boats outside the east of the city have been registered.
When Wang Xuan crossed out the item of 'color art practitioner', he looked up and saw Qing'er who was full of loneliness and added tea to himself.
"I'm afraid the impact is not very good, so ......," Wang Xuan explained softly.
"I naturally know, so I plan to open a modeling agency, recently the shoe and clothing factory is having a headache for product promotion, what do you think?"
Wang Xuan's heart was relieved, and he agreed very much: "It's a good thing, I can find a livelihood for those dusty women, but the great good thing of accumulating virtue is that Xiao Wang Jing will have more than one younger brother in the coming year." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qing'er was ashamed, so she ignored Wang Xuan and left flutteringly.
Only Wang Xuan was left alone in a daze at his back.
Color art practitioners are a very clear profession.
Wang Xuan pondered for a long time about the words that drew a red line, and finally ticked it again in the back.
This is not selfishness, but infected by Qing'er's plan.
Whether they can participate in the party or not can be decided by just their words, a look, or even an action.
But are they born to be the kind of people they are?
Apparently not.
As long as you are a normal person, you will not practice yourself like this, both men and women are the same.
So in the end, he relented.
He understands what kind of signal will be sent once they are put on stage.
This is undoubtedly a huge test for the always conservative and auspicious government.
At the beginning, Wang Xuan asked to rectify the flower boats in the east of the city, but the government finally failed to complete the requirements, and after several times, Wang Xuan planned to make the trip official.
Safety is the most important thing, so we have established a strict medical checkup system.
This once made practitioners think that King Jixiang was making extra money.
Wang Xuan scoffed at this, he has seen mountains of gold and silver, who cares about palm-sized gold!
Since he can give the slightly selfish second sister a chance, why can't he give these people a chance?
Regardless of whether it is a mistake or not, and no matter where the cause is, it depends on how the other party chooses to give him a chance.
At the very least, I can make plans for the next step.
In the final analysis, Wang Xuan's heart is still not ruthless enough.
The matter of the flower boat has been discussed countless times not only by the Government Council, but also by the Ministry of Justice, but in the end, it has all ended without a problem.
In the end, the reason is the balance between supply and demand.
Wang Xuan looked at the ticked wry smile.
He is not prejudiced, and now it is much better than the era when he laughed at poverty and prostitution in later generations, so he was dissatisfied and a little happy.
After all, the social atmosphere and humanistic environment under the rule are enough to reflect the level of governance of a country.
He didn't want to be a saint, but he wanted to be a legend, a legend whose advantages completely crushed the shortcomings.
On the premise of not having an 'operation instruction', he can only crawl forward.
Auspiciousness, first of all, is his auspiciousness, and then the auspiciousness of the mascot.
This will not change in any way.
This is an obsession, a belief that belongs only to the higher classes.
Only from the moment of view, auspiciousness has been deeply branded with the mark of the Wang family, once it is thrown off, auspicious will be reduced to a leader of Great Xia again, a leader who is bullied.
It's not even as good as a Dominion.
