Chapter 220: The Whole City of Anticipation, I'm Here!
Hundreds of people are talking about it.
Not only in front of the Imperial City, but even the road in front of the Imperial City was crowded with people.
today
Undoubtedly, the Qiming Plan is the biggest thing in the hearts of the people of Yanyun City.
….….….….….….
Yanyun Palace.
Li Kuan looked at the unsightly wires that were built from above.
Because of the rush of time, there is no special planning for power poles, distribution boxes, etc.
Therefore, the wire is simply and crudely fixed directly to the roof, and it can follow the edge of the wall along the wall, and there is no place to directly insert a pole by the way, so that the wire can fly through the air.
Naturally, it looks a little messy.
but
This did not affect Li Kuan's mood in the slightest.
In particular, the wires can be said to look better the more you look at them.
These wires are all smelted from fine brass, and to be honest, at least the materials used are much stronger than the ordinary wires of later generations.
And because the power plant is all made up of small units, the power generated is not too high, and naturally there is no need for high-voltage lines.
Of course, the high-voltage line will definitely be needed in the future, but things need to be done step by step.
Now as long as the power is on, everything is simple.
Guo Shoujing, Princess Changle, He Shen, Chen Qingzhi and so on all followed.
Follow Li Kuan and check the line around.
At last
Li Kuan went into his room and took out a box.
This box is full of light bulbs.
There are more than 50 of them.
"In front of the Imperial City, how many lamp heads are installed in the Belt of the Imperial City?" Li Kuan asked softly.
The lamp head is naturally also designed by Li Kuan.
But the lamp head is much simpler than the bulb after all, and it is very simple to make, as long as you open a mold, it can be mass-produced.
So
After Li Kuan handed over the design drawings to He Shen, he let the machinery factory produce them.
Then, install.
"Your Majesty."
He Shen hurriedly replied: "Minister, according to His Majesty's orders, the wires were pulled more than 500 meters towards the main road, but the time was urgent, and only twenty-five lamp heads were placed on it. ”
Li Kuan bowed slightly.
"Then turn on the lamp, twenty-five, too....enough."
Li Kuan narrowed his eyes, then looked up at the lamp head hanging above his room, and immediately asked He Shen to bring a ladder and screw the lamp head with his own hands.
"Changle, later, you can also have someone press one in your room, and then, install the rest in Yanyun Palace."
"Also, Changle, I handed over the design process of this bulb to the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the School of Physics, you study and study, set up an electrical factory, and start production,"
Li Kuan commanded again.
Bulb.
It's not hard to say this, but it's not easy to say.
In addition, no one understands all aspects of knowledge, so Li Kuan took matters into his own hands and took several university teachers to overcome this problem.
The three main raw materials, tungsten wire and glass, plus a small amount of copper.
Glass, it is indeed the shape of a light bulb, but the shape of each light bulb is different, because it is all fired by Li Kuan himself.
There are no molds, and naturally they are of different shapes.
Connect two wires made of copper to each end with tungsten wire, and then put it in a light bulb, in fact, a simple light bulb is made.
Of course
There is air in the bulb made by Li Kuan.
The service life is not as good as the time of later generations, but these can be improved later.
Outside the bulb, that is, the top part of the bulb, rotate the two copper wires connected to the tungsten wire into a shape that can be placed in the lamp head, and then press it directly on the lamp head.
It's not hard.
But this is indeed a delicate job, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Princess Changle said excitedly.
She also didn't expect that her Dayan Daily Group would also start to take on such an important task.
first controlled the salt industry, and now she has started to produce light bulbs, and it seems that the second brother still trusts her very much.
But
She didn't care about that now, just landed on the box and began to pick out the light bulbs in her room.
At this point,
Chen Qingzhi was already nimble and installed the light bulb.
"Your Majesty, this light bulb is installed, do you want to try to turn it on?"
Next to him, He Shen rubbed his hands and said a little excitedly.
All of a sudden, everyone hurriedly looked at Li Kuan.
Li Kuan glanced at the sky outside.
"No, let's wait for the night."
"I want to watch the first light of our scorching night with the people."
Li Kuan directly refused.
He Shen and the others looked forward to it more and more.
The first light in the night.
What does that have to look like?
In the night, can there be light?
Hiss....
What is Your Majesty's enlightenment plan?
They looked at the light bulbs, and they were all lost in thought, completely unable to understand what would be the use of this thing in the evening.
A round glass cover?
They were at a loss.
The speculation in their minds made them a little crazy, and everyone walked out of Li Kuan's dormitory, standing outside, looking at the sun in the sky.
They all dared to swear that they had never been so hopeful that the sun would go down quickly!
"Your Majesty, the light bulbs outside have also been installed."
After a while, Chen Qingzhi hurriedly walked in and reported.
Li Kuan put down the teacup in his hand and nodded: "What about Heshen and them?" ”
"Your Majesty, and your Excellency Principal Guo are all sitting on the steps outside, and everyone is looking forward to the sun coming down quickly." Chen Qingzhi replied.
Li Kuan: .......
"Okay, then....Is the sun going down outside?"
Li Kuan glanced out the window.
"Your Majesty, it's almost over, the sunset is already about to set, but the summer is long, and when we came here just now, it looked like it was going to go down, and it hasn't set yet."
"It is estimated that it will take half an hour before we can completely descend the mountain,"
Chen Qingzhi said.
Li Kuan got up, patted the robe on his body, put his hands behind his back, and walked out easily.
In front of the main hall,
He Shen and Guo Shoujing were all looking at the sun in the west.
In his mouth, he still muttered.
"Hurry up and get down the mountain, outrageous, why is it so slow today? I feel like it's been hours. ”
"Hey, Hou Yi should have shot this sun down at that time."
"What the hell is going on today? Wasn't the sun already setting in the west when we came back from the power plant? ”
"The sun is too slow, and I want to hammer it down."
“…….”
The crowd was unbearable.
"Okay, okay, don't rush, it's fast."
Li Kuan was a little speechless.
"Your Majesty!"
When everyone saw Li Kuan coming out, they all got up immediately
Li Kuan nodded.
"It's almost time, and it's time for us to prepare."
"Ziyun, take someone to fetch a thousand candles and place them in front of the imperial city."
"No, the more the merrier, no upper limit."
Li Kuan glanced at the sunset in the west, like an orange-red roulette, the sunset on the horizon was dyed red, and the palace on the earth was covered with a layer of golden glow.
Li Kuan knew that the time was almost up.
It's time to prepare.
Chen Qingzhi immediately received the order and hurriedly went to prepare.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing with candles?"
"It's still so much."
Guo Shoujing was puzzled.
A thousand candles, no, Your Majesty is the more the better, what does this have to do with the Enlightenment Project? Could it be that the Enlightenment Project is just about lighting candles?
No way!
Your Highness, it won't be so boring.
He Shen and the others also looked at Li Kuan blankly.
Now, their brains are completely unable to keep up with His Majesty.
They all feel like ignorant children.
Li Kuan stood in the warm sunset, stretched his waist, glanced at them, and walked towards the wall of Yanyun Palace without speaking.
"Your Majesty...."
Guo Shoujing and the others hurriedly followed.
Your Majesty, this is about to begin!.
….…….….….….
In front of Yanyun Palace.
The people are also waiting for the sun to set.
Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan and Gai Wenda stood in another corner in front of the imperial city.
Over here
Their eyes can clearly see everything in front of them.
"Your Majesty....Why hasn't Emperor Dayan come out yet?"
"My legs are a little numb, and it's strange why the sun is setting so slowly today."
Kong Yingda opened his mouth and subconsciously called His Majesty directly, after all, in the academy, he was the same as other classmates, he was called Your Majesty.
It's just that when he was with Yu Shinan and Gai Wenda, he still called His Majesty the Emperor of Great Yan.
This can be regarded as the last trace of attachment to Datang in their hearts.
"It's almost there, the sun is already half down."
"Hey....I just don't know what kind of effect this six-month Enlightenment Project can show in the end."
"Qiming Qiming, could it be that Emperor Dayan can launch a star?"
Saying that, Yu Shinan also looked around, there seemed to be no difference between here and before, but there were two more lines in the sky, but these two lines were very inconspicuous, if you didn't look at it specifically, you couldn't see it at all
These two lines have been stretching towards the main road in front of the imperial city, and it seems that there are small beans on them, which look like grapes.
Of course
There are very few grapes in this one.
"Who knows? Wait, everybody. ”
"I hope Your Majesty, you can bring us a different treasure again."
"It's like fireworks, so bright!"
Gavinda said expectantly.
"Don't be like fireworks, fireworks are fleeting, although they are lit, but they don't have much effect." Kong Yingda hurriedly said.
The three of them chatted.
And the time is getting late.
Finally, in the eyes of I don't know how many pairs of expectation, the sunset finally completely sank below the horizon, and the blood-like clouds in the west finally disappeared completely.
Night has fallen!
"Woohoo....it's dark, it's black, it's finally black!"
"His grandmother's, it's not easy, I've never looked forward to the night so much!"
Immediately, someone shouted excitedly and excitedly.
"When will Your Majesty come out? By the way, we seem.......we haven't seen what His Majesty looks like, right? ”
"Oh,, when you say that, I also remember, too, it seems that His Majesty has never officially appeared,"
"Your Majesty is brave and invincible, I really don't know what Your Majesty looks like, I don't know if I can see Your Majesty today."
"I heard before that the first generation of people in Dayan had seen His Majesty's true face before, but ah, they didn't say anything, and their mouths were tight."
"Hey, it's okay, there are not many people in all dynasties who can see His Majesty's true face, even if it is the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, it is rare to see it, right?"
"Hey....this is also true, in all dynasties and dynasties, there are very few people who can know His Majesty's true face."
"If you can see Your Majesty, you will have no regrets in this life, hey, but it's difficult, even if it's the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, I haven't seen it, let alone Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the younger brother is like an immortal."
“…….”
The people discussed, and as the sky grew darker and darker, everyone became more and more excited.
It was also a coincidence that the moon was obscured by clouds and mist in the sky tonight, and the stars seemed to be dim.
It seems like tomorrow is cloudy.
After another pillar of incense, it was already dark, and some of them couldn't see their fingers.
It was also at this time that a bright light suddenly rose in front of the imperial city.
"Look! Project Qiming has begun, look, what is that? ”
"Is this the Enlightenment Project? , I'm a little excited and can't hold it anymore, it's lit up, I see it, it's really lit up! ”
"Nope! What nonsense? Don't get excited in the back, this is a candle, this is definitely not a Qiming plan, there are a lot of candles, the guards began to arrange candles, there are a lot, it looks like there must be two or three thousand. ”
"Huh? Two or three thousand candles, isn't it? Could it be that lighting so many candles together is His Majesty's enlightenment plan? ”
"Your Majesty, you won't joke with us like that, will you?"
"Two or three thousand candles, but how can they be so dark? I could only see a little light. ”
"Two or three thousand candles, it sounds like a lot of candles, if you put it in the room, it may be very bright, but if you put it outside in the open, it really doesn't show brightness."
"Your Majesty, that's Your Majesty!!"
“…….”
The moment they saw Li Kuan come out, the people were boiling, and the people were crazy.
Not only because of the more than 2,000 candles lit in front of the imperial city gate, but also because of Li Kuan who appeared on the city wall.
After all, this is the first time that His Majesty has stood in front of so many people of Great Yan.
Of course, such cases are rare.
The Emperor, both in that Emperor, is a very mysterious character.
Kong Yingda, Gai Wenda and Yu Shinan were all wide-eyed, eager to stare out, even if they took out their artifacts, small benches, and stepped on them, they couldn't see Li Kuan's appearance clearly.
The night is like a veil.
In addition, Li Kuan was already wearing a mask.
So.
Even if there is the light emitted by the more than 2,000 candles under the city wall, it is not clear that Li Kuan's true face is not clear.
"Is this Your Majesty? Is this the saint who created the Great Fire? ”
Kong Yingda clenched her fists tightly, a little excited.
"That's right, it's Your Majesty, it's definitely Your Majesty!!"
Gai Wenda and Yu Shinan also said excitedly.
now
Li Wan led Princess Changle, Guo Shoujing, He Shen and others stood on the wall of Yanyun Palace.
He looked down at the people below.
The open space in front of the gate of the imperial city was already full of people.
