This is the electric light you made?" Looking at this electric light, Kaichi was a little excited.

This is a round bulb with a small bulge at the top, and the bulb is mounted on a lamp base placed on a table, like a small oil lamp, but the head is replaced by a bulb.

Queenie gently picked up the lamp, and there was a wire under the lamp base, but it was uninsulated, and the wire was exposed, she put the lamp down, and said, "Try it, why don't you light it?"

"I'll open it for you to see. ”

Fessenden walked to the side and turned on the switch, and the filament in the center of the lamp immediately burned red, and then a dim light came out, not particularly bright, but illuminating the whole room.

This is an office of the radio station, the area is not small, and this bulb also looks like it has the brightness of an incandescent lamp of about 25 watts.

Fresenden introduced on the side: "This is the light bulb we made, the electric lamp, using electricity as an energy source, the internal vacuum, the middle is a carbon filament, red and shiny when the power is on, we tried it, it can be lit up continuously for more than 40 hours, if you save a little to use, a light bulb can be used for nearly a month, we have made the light bulb into a spiral interface that can be replaced, and the bulb can be replaced directly." ”

As he spoke, he frowned: "But this use time is still a bit short, although you don't have to change the magic stone, but you have to change the bulb often, and the brightness is not enough, if you increase the brightness, then the life of the bulb will be a little shorter." ”

Jiayi already felt very satisfied, and said with admiration: "I didn't expect you to be able to make the lamp in such a short time, more than 40 hours, it is not a problem to improve it to 100 hours, it is enough, and the filament still has room for improvement, if you can choose a more high-temperature resistant filament, the life will be longer." It's just that your wires are a little too rough, and you won't accidentally get electricity without insulation?"

He was a little impressed by Fresenden, but he didn't expect the other party to be so talented in invention, and he could invent the electric light so quickly in the middle of building a radio station. Moreover, the current electric light is relatively perfect, and it is not much different from the modern incandescent lamp in the improved generation.

"What's this, it's just a little numb to be electrified, it's much safer than learning electromagnetic spells. Fresenden said that this was not a problem, the people here were all mages, and this current was not enough to be safe, "It's just that this electric light is really useful? Compared to the magic lamp, the light of this electric lamp is too dim and yellow, and the bulb of the magic lamp is much brighter, and it is closer to daylight." ”

Before Jia Yi could answer, Queenie on the side said: "I don't think it's a problem, after all, there are few people who can afford to use magic lamps in Moshacher, and there are no merchants who even open shops on the street when it gets dark, and electric lights don't need to use magic materials, so the price should be reduced a lot, right?"

"It's true," Fresenden said, "the price of an electric lamp is less than a tenth of that of a magic lamp, or even lower, and the price of using it is lower." I calculated that a magic stone can last for more than a month and costs more than 10 gold coins, while an incandescent lamp only needs about 8 silver coins. ”

The price of this is more than 10 times cheaper than the magic lamp, even if the cost of replacing the bulb is far lower than the magic lamp, and with the production and the improvement of supporting facilities, the cost can be greatly reduced, and the cost of the magic lamp is difficult to decrease.

In terms of labor costs, making magic lamps requires the hands of magicians, at least senior mage apprentices, but electric lamps only need trained ordinary people. The gap between the labor costs is also huge, and the cost gap between the two is even greater.

It's just that electric lights also have a disadvantage, that is, they need to build power plants and lay wiring, and the upfront cost is not low.

Wilmot was originally just listening to the sidelines, but then he said: "This electric light is really good, if the cost can be reduced a little more, I can make the decision to promote it throughout Moshacher, and replace all the street lights in Moshacher with electric lights." ”

"Really?" Kaichi looked at Wilmot with some excitement, unbelievably supporting the electric light so much.

Although the electric light was invented by Fresenden and his team, and it has little to do with Kaichi, it was his idea after all, and he was very happy to see that it could be popularized.

Fresenden's face didn't change much, it was obvious that he already knew the news, and this was normal, and now Fresenden and Wilmot were his own people. Although the electric light was invented by Fresendon and others, if it is to be calculated, the ownership of the electric light should belong to the Supreme Council, as they are now considered to be the team employed by the Supreme Council.

It's no wonder Wilmot would give such a big support.

Kaichi has only one suggestion, which is to put an insulating skin on the wires, especially where they can be touched by people.

Looking at Jiayi and them, Wilmot said: "Of course, the invention of electric light is inseparable from the two of you, and if it is really popularized, I will not forget you." Kaichi, you seem to be very interested in the popularization of magic props? I know your chamber of commerce, almost all of the equipment is aimed at ordinary people, and it is biased towards life. ”

Jia nodded and said, "Yes, I prefer to bring magic items to life so that everyone can use them. Although this is almost impossible to achieve, I also hope that magic will not continue to maintain that sense of mystery, because the separation from ordinary society is too serious, and many people now have a prejudice against mages, and think that mages will eat the hearts and livers of children to maintain their youth. If you can let ordinary people know more about mages through magic items, it will be very beneficial to break through the barriers between the two sides. And only by selling things to ordinary people can they make more money, and the number of mages is only as large as the number of ordinary people. If everyone and ordinary people buy one thing of their own, even if the profit is only one percent, or even one thousandth, then the wealth that has amassed from it is amazing. ”

What he said was a bit too idealistic, in fact, with the level of communication in various places in this era, it was not easier to do business all over the world than it was for him to become a legendary mage, it was only a theoretical possibility. Maybe after he becomes a legendary mage, he will live for another thousand years, and he can almost achieve it.

"Well, you're not a small wish, and it would be great enough for you to be able to sell the electric light to everyone in Moshacher. ”

Wilmot looked at Jiayi jokingly, even if it was an electric light, not everyone could use Moshacher at this time.

Jia Yi himself smiled: "Ideal, of course, it must be a little bigger and more difficult, otherwise it is an ideal." ”

He stood up, straightened his chest and abdomen, and put his right hand in front of his chest: "I have a dream..."

Suddenly, the whole posture collapsed, and he said, "Forget it, I don't have a dream." ”

"Hahahaha......"

Everyone was amused by Kaichi's appearance.

Wilmot said: "The separation between mages and ordinary people is not only due to the arrogance of mages, but also because of the promotion of various kingdoms, they do not want mages to participate too much in the internal affairs of the country, so they deliberately create this state of separation." ”

Jia Yi actually knows that he doesn't have the ability to change this situation, at least not now.

Fresenden was a little impressed by Jiayi: "I can't imagine that Jiayi still has this kind of ambition, maybe a person like you can always come up with so many wonderful ideas, I will definitely improve the electric light, and strive to bring the electric light into every household in Mosacher as soon as possible." ”

He didn't dare to say far, he only dared to say that electric light would be popularized in Moshacher, and only Moshacher had the foundation to popularize electric light.

"How's the broadcast now, and when will it start?"

"Now that the construction is complete, it's going on, it's going to be tested, we're going to do it late every night for two hours, if you're interested, you can listen to it, and by the way, give me some advice," Fresenden said. The program is almost ready now, the radio starts at noon, first the news, then the music in the afternoon, and the reading program, then the evening news, the latest paper abstract speed reading, then the opera, and then the storytelling, and these are the main settings. ”

Their program is not satisfied, even a full day of program time is not enough, but there is no way, not only them, even Jia Yi actually does not have much experience, the stage of his growth radio has long been lonely, when he was a child, he could still hear news broadcasts at noon and night in the countryside, and when he grew up, he basically couldn't hear other broadcasts except car radio.

He can say it in generalities, and it is impossible to talk about it in detail.

"Forget it, I can't give any experience, you've always been busy, let me know when you officially start broadcasting, and I'll listen on time. ”

"Definitely, when the time comes, we will advertise through the public channels of the telegraph and in the newspapers. Wilmot said.
