Gradually, it got dark.

After waiting for a long time, the eunuchs and maids in the palace, as well as the civil and military officials, were about to lose their patience.

"Will this street light really come on?"

"It should be bright, His Majesty demonstrated it earlier, but we saw it with our own eyes!"

"If it can be lit, why hasn't there been any movement?"

Everyone is talking to each other, and some people who still have things to deal with have already retreated.

However!

That's just at this time.

I saw brilliant fireworks blooming in the dark night.

At the same time, the craftsmen, who had been preparing for a long time, received the signal and started the diesel generator at the same time. The next moment, all the street lamps in the palace were all brushed on!

Originally, the surrounding environment was still very dark, and it was difficult to see the environment.

At this time, under the action of many street lights, it is like daylight. Its visibility is more than that of daytime.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!"

"This is the so-called electric light in His Majesty's mouth?"

"What kind of supernatural power is this? Why does it glow? ”

"I heard that it seems to be the effect of electricity......

Everyone was stunned.

There was silence on the field.

They looked at the street lamps as if they had seen a ghost.

Some of the more superstitious people once thought that this was a miracle, and almost without the slightest hesitation, they kowtowed to the street lamps to worship.

Compared with the noise of the outside world, the palace of Queen Xiao is much quieter.

Empress Xiao looked at the chandelier above her head, and her beautiful eyes were full of surprise: "Your Majesty, this chandelier is really bright, and the same is true of those street lamps outside?" ”

"Of course."

Yang Guang pointed outside and said, "Don't you see, now the entire Jiangdu Palace is shrouded in lights?" ”

"Your Majesty, you are amazing." Looking at Yang Guang's side face, Empress Xiao was deeply fascinated.

"I'm even better." Looking at Queen Xiao's little fan-like eyes, Yang Guangnunu mouthed, glanced at the bed not far away without a trace, and suddenly made the latter embarrassed, raised his pink fist and gently knocked on Yang Guang's chest.

"Haha."

Yang Guang grinned, but immediately frowned again: "Although there is electricity in our palace now, it is all generated through diesel generators, and this is okay for a short time, but for a long time, it will consume too much diesel." ”

"It seems that after a while, I will have to come up with wind power or hydropower."

In the end, Yang Guang simply slapped the board and said: "Yes, a toy factory has been built anyway, and all the money earned from the toy factory will be saved and used to build a power plant!" ”

At present, the real benefit from the electric light is the Jiangdu Palace.

In addition to the Jiangdu Palace, Yang Guang does not have the ability to spread electric lights all over the Jiangdu for the time being.

After all, he only has a limited amount of electricity to make.

Besides, even if he gave the people diesel generators, they didn't have diesel generators......

Who else but themselves would distill crude oil into diesel?

But once you have a power plant, all of this is no longer a hassle, you just need to build wires in the middle of the river and transport electricity from the power plant, and you're all set.

It's just that building a power plant is different from building a toy factory, the former is undoubtedly countless times more difficult, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, no one should be able to help Yang Guang, everything has to be done by him, so that he can have enough food and clothing......

As for Empress Xiao, she gently shook Yang Guang's hand when she heard this, and said gently: "Your Majesty, although the concubine doesn't know what the power plant is, but you must not forget to sleep and eat like studying diesel generators, look at you, after more than a month of tossing, you have lost a lot of weight......"

Looking at the two heavy dark circles on Yang Guang's face, Empress Xiao felt distressed in her heart.

"Well, I know. Thank you for your concern. Yang Guang and Empress Xiao clasped their fingers, peeked at Yang An, who had fallen asleep over there, and then said with bad intentions: "Concubine Ai, are you done sitting in your confinement?" ”

"Your Majesty......"

Empress Xiao snorted: "Don't be so bad." ”

But having said that, Empress Xiao still got up very sensibly and slowly sat on Yang Guang's legs.

The corners of Yang Guang's mouth hooked, and he already realized in his heart.

Outside the door, the two palace maids who were guarding there, seeing this situation, closed their eyes and groped to close the door, and after a while, there were some beautiful sounds inside, which made their ears "sigh" red.

The next day, Yang Guang, who fought all night, did not delay the government.

A court meeting was held early in the morning.

At the court meeting, the civil and military officials had no time to report on government affairs, so they couldn't wait to ask Yang Guang for electric lights one by one.

They had seen the power of electric lights, and they were ten thousand times better than lanterns, and if they were placed in a room, the whole room would be bright.

And, of course, more importantly, incredibly convenient!

Press the switch and the light will come on, and press it again and the light will go out.

Who wouldn't love something so novel and practical?

The Manchu Dynasty had more than 200 civil and military people, and if one person really wanted to reward one electric lamp, how many diesel generators would have to be made?

Therefore, Yang Guang categorically refused without thinking about it: "If you Aiqing want to experience the taste of the lamp, you can come to the palace to experience it for yourself, as for the matter of letting me reward the electric lamp, forget it for the time being, and wait until I build the power plant in the future." ”

"Power plant?" The ministers' eyes kept looking, and they asked curiously, "That's?" ”

"You should know that because there is electricity, the electric lights can shine and heat, and at present, I am using diesel generators to generate electricity."

"This thing consumes a lot of diesel, so it should not be used too frequently, and the power from a diesel generator is limited after all, so that electricity cannot be popularized at all."

Yang Guangyue said, the more excited he became: "And when I build the power plant, the electricity generated from the power plant will be able to cover the entire Jiangdu, and at that time, the electric light will be popularized in thousands of households, not to mention you people, even ordinary people can use electric lights!" ”

"Power plant, so powerful?" In the crowd, Xu Maogong's heart moved, and he came out and said, "Your Majesty, since the power plant can produce electricity, can it be used to kill the enemy on the battlefield?" ”

"It's like thunder from the sky, it only takes a lightning bolt to kill a large area."

Hearing this, the other generals were also interested, and looked at Yang Guang expectantly.

Yang Guang was speechless: "What do you want?" This is just household electricity, and the difference with lightning is still very big, self-use is OK, want to use it on the battlefield to kill the enemy, but a little wishful thinking. ”
