Chapter 149: Immortal Luminous Stone!
This Xingjing Daily is Zhou Yanru's favorite to read recently, and many of the things mentioned on it are unheard of by him, and it also says how good Xingjing is, so that he wants to go to Xingjing for a good visit.
Zhou Yanru picked up the Xingjing Daily and continued to read it, when he saw that "the Great Zhou Empire welcomes all people of insight to join, as long as they have real skills, they can be officials." At this time, Zhou Yanru's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have found a new direction.
Zhou Yanru had already had an in-depth understanding of this Xingjing, especially Zhou Jiajun's record of defeating the strong with the weak and winning a hundred battles made Zhou Yanru very admired.
Since the Ming Dynasty can't stay on his own, why not go to Xingjing to give it a try, after having this idea, Zhou Yanru couldn't sit still anymore, and after briefly explaining the things in the house, he rushed to Xingjing with two subordinates.
After a few days of bumpy journeys, Zhou Yanru finally came to Xingjing.
Zhou Yanru was shocked as soon as he arrived outside Xingjing City, although he also saw a lot of articles describing Xingjing in the newspaper, but no matter how he described it, he was not as shocked as he saw with his own eyes now.
At this time, Zhou Yanru was stunned to look at the train passing in front of him, only to see that the train was emitting black smoke, making a whining sound, and pulling more than a dozen carriages to roar past, this picture gave people a shock that hit the heart.
There were many people who had just come to Xingjing next to Zhou Yanru's carriage, and it was the first time they saw the train, some timid people were suddenly frightened and their legs weakened, and some people ran backwards, shouting: "There are monsters!"
The actions and words of these people caused a burst of laughter from those who often saw the train.
"Haha, look at these countrymen who don't know anything at all!"
"yes, it's just a train, and it's scared like this."
Some people in Xingjing saw the performance of these people, and immediately felt that they were much more advanced, and they did not recall the scene when they first saw the train, which was not much better than these people now.
This is the railway to Jiaozhou Bay, the reason why it is built next to the road outside Xingjing City, this is what Zhou Xian meant, he wants everyone who comes to Xingjing to see the train, so that they can be shocked by the train, so as to reflect the difference of Xingjing, to put it bluntly, it is pretend!
Another reason is that all people who come to Xingjing can realize that the times have changed, and only the development of industry can be the only way out, and industry is the foundation of a strong country.
After a long time passed on the train, Zhou Yanru came back to his senses, is this the train in the newspaper? It's really magical, Zhou Yanru thought in his heart.
Soon Zhou Yanru came to the gate of Xingjing City, saying that the gate of the city was actually a junction, because Xingjing had no city walls, and only a few main roads led to Xingjing City.
Seeing that Xingjing had no city walls, Zhou Yanru was stunned at first, and then seemed to understand something, and said to himself: "This Xingjing actually has no city walls, so aren't you afraid that others will attack him Xingjing?"
In fact, there are many reasons why Xingjing does not build the city wall, the first is that the Zhou family army is now a thermal weapon, and the construction of the city wall actually has no substantive effect, and it also affects the speed of sending troops.
The second reason is that Xingjing is developing too fast, the residential area is constantly increasing, and the city wall cannot be repaired at all, Zhou Xian plans to build Xingjing into a large city with a population of several million, and all this city wall does not know where to build.
The third reason is that Zhou Xian is confident that no army can fight Xingjing.
After a simple inquiry by the soldiers of the Zhou family, Zhou Yanru came to the Xingjing City, and when he first arrived in the city, he saw a white cement road, and there were many poles standing next to the road.
Zhou Yanru stepped out of the carriage and carefully looked at everything here, the people in Xingjing City were not lively, and soon Zhou Yanru found that although there were many people here, it was not crowded at all.
Horse-drawn carriages are seen moving in the middle of the wide road, and pedestrians walking on both sides, which makes the passage very efficient.
Looking at the rows of neatly built buildings made of red bricks, it looks pleasing to the eye, and you can tell that this is planned.
Seeing this, Zhou Yanru was more interested in this Zhou Xian, he couldn't think of what kind of person could plan a city so well, with this mood, Zhou Yanru walked around Xingjing.
In the evening, Zhou Xian was watching the folds in the study, when Zhang Dabiao walked in, "Your Majesty, Xue Yi asks to see you!"
"Let him in!"
Zhou Xianyan put down the fold when he heard this, nodded at Zhang Dabiao and said.
Soon Xue Yi walked in.
"Meet the Emperor!"
"No courtesy, flat!"
"Director Xue came here today, but the power station can already generate electricity?"
Although Zhou Xian had already guessed it in his heart, he still asked with a smile.
"The emperor is really like a god, the power station can already generate electricity after two days of start-up!"
Xue Yi patted Zhou Xian with a little sycophant and said happily.
The generator of the thermal power station is actually very troublesome to start the electricity, it is not as simple as boiling the water as imagined, and it takes two or three days to start the generator every time, so once the generator of the thermal power station is turned on, it will not be shut down unless there are any special circumstances.
"Really? That's great, I'll go and see your power station!"
Zhou Xian stood up as he spoke.
Half an hour later, Zhou Xian finally arrived at the power station under the protection of a group of soldiers led by Zhang Dabiao.
At this time, the power station continued to rumble, and the three generators had already begun to work, looking at the generator several meters high, Zhou Xian was very satisfied, it was not easy to make such a huge generator with such an industrial level now.
More than 200 power workers at the power station saw Zhou Xian coming and quickly knelt down.
"Meet the Emperor!"
"No courtesy, flat!" Zhou Xian waved his hand at everyone with his right hand and continued: "I'm here today to see your achievements during this time, you don't have to be nervous."
"Emperor Xie!"
When the crowd heard this, they stood up.
"Are all the preparations ready?"
Zhou Xian asked at Xue Yi.
"It's all ready, as long as the line is connected, the entire Star Kyoto will be lit up."
Xue Yi said excitedly.
"Okay, let's get started now!"
After receiving Zhou Xian's instructions, a power worker came to a large electric switch and carefully pushed the gate up.
Suddenly, the entire power station lit up, and everyone cheered happily when they saw this scene.
Zhou Xian looked at the glowing incandescent lamps, and also smiled, and sighed in his heart, he finally came to the era of electricity, and he was one step closer to his goal.
At this time, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was gradually darkening, and suddenly the street lights of the entire Xingjing were lit up, illuminating the entire Xingjing, and at this time, some people next to the street lamps were startled.
Some of the Xingjing people who had seen the carbon arc lamp were okay and were just surprised, while those who had never seen the lamp before were as if they had seen a ghost, and their legs trembled with fright.
After a while, the people of Xingjing who reacted, everyone began to cheer around the street lamps, and Xingjing at this time really became a city that never sleeps!
"What is this? Why is it so bright? ”
"There's got to be a burning stone in there!"
"No, this must be the luminous stone used by the gods!"
These Xingjing people chatted under the street lamps.
Zhou Yanru was stunned at this time at a street lamp next to him, he had just walked here just now, and this street lamp suddenly lit up, almost scaring him into fainting.
After a while, Zhou Yanru came to his senses, he stared at the street lamp blankly, no matter how he imagined it, he didn't understand why this light bulb was shining.
