Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

The moment the copper wire was connected to the bamboo wire, Xiao Zirong raised his head and blew out the oil lamp next to him. Everyone felt that their eyes went dark, and before they had time to panic, they saw a little light.

It's just that this time the light was emitted from Xiao Zirong's hands.

That bamboo thread was shining with a faint but unbelievable light.

Everyone looked at the firefly light and was stunned. This thing has exceeded their imagination.

Except for the ignited bamboo, who can imagine that a small bamboo thread can emit light by just putting two threads on it so casually?

The light of the bamboo thread is very short-lived. In fact, the essence is just to "ignite" the bamboo thread with electricity, and the bamboo thread will naturally go out after burning almost.

Even though the device should be fine after checking many times before, and the power generation is definitely possible, Xiao Zirong couldn't help but hold his breath excitedly the moment he found out that it was successful.

When he came back to his senses, the light from the bamboo thread in his hand was already very weak.

He looked up at Xiao Xuexing, who was obviously a little surprised, tried his best to hold back the excitement in his heart, pretended to be nonchalant and said with a smile: "The regent said that there must be light, so there must be light."

At this time, Xiao Xuexing no longer had the heart to worry about whether Xiao Zirong did what was right or not, and he was trying to calm down his emotions.

After the bamboo threads were completely extinguished, Xiao Zirong heard several sighs, which seemed to be a pity.

Xiao Zirong put down the things in his hands and said, "Okay, let's light the oil lamp."

After the oil lamps were lit, Xiao Zirong looked at those oil lamps and suddenly laughed. This should be regarded as "jumping a level", right?

After all, according to the normal order, the oil lamp should be followed by the candle.

After the oil lamp was lit, Zhai Xi asked nervously, "City Master, are we... successful?"

Xiao Zirong turned his head and looked at them with a smile: "Successful, but this is just a simple experiment. Continue to do what I asked you to do before, but don't be so nervous, it's okay."

The experiment just now was really to prove that the generator can generate electricity, and it didn't make the generator come in handy just like that. There was one missing component - the brush.

Simply speaking, the brushes exist to stabilize the generator, so they must be there, but this thing is not difficult to make.

Xiao Zirong turned his head to look at Xiao Xuexing after finishing his instructions, Xiao Xuexing had already calmed down and asked, "It's over?"

Xiao Zirong said: "Yes, there is still a little finishing work, and it can be put into use after it is done."

Xiao Xuexing nodded, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Ji next to him just woke up like a dream.

Xiao Ji asked curiously: "Just now...that bamboo thread, why is it glowing?"

Xiao Zirong opened his mouth, and found that this question sounds simple, but it is very difficult to explain. If he really wants to explain it, he must go through all the science related to electricity.

He is not interested in popular science now, not to mention that it is not something that can be solved in one or two sentences, so he is very simple and rude: "It can be bright, I will give you a few books later, and you will understand after reading it. "

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiao Xuexing and asked with a smile, "Is it fun?"

Xiao Xuexing nodded slowly, then glanced at the used and discarded bamboo thread and sighed, "It's a pity that it's like fireworks, fleeting."

Xiao Zirong rubbed his chin and said: "This is because the material is not suitable. If there is a suitable material, it will not be impossible. At that time, electric lamps can be used to replace oil lamps."

Xiao Xuan was a little curious: "What are the benefits of electric lights?"

Xiao Zirong said: "Of course there are advantages. The cost is low. After the generator is completed, it should be able to use for a period of time. During this period of time, it can generate electricity. If the whole city is electrified, there will be a charge. Of course, this is the It's been too long."

Even Taoyuan City does not have this condition now, mainly due to the problem of the line.

When Xiao Zirong was building Taoyuan City, he didn't even think that one day he would get out the generator, so there was no need to talk about reserved lines.

And the wiring is not so easy to lay. Long-distance transmission of high-voltage electricity and high-voltage wires must be done. Although it may not be impossible, Xiao Zirong's current focus is not here.

Xiao Ji asked: "Even if it can be replaced, it won't work? I don't think it's too bright."

Xiao Zirong glanced at him and said: "It was just an experiment. If the material is not suitable, of course it won't be so bright. If you find the right material, there will be no problem at all."

Xiao Ji asked: "Then what materials do you need?"

Xiao Zirong said casually, "Scheelite."

Xiao Ji had never heard of this name, and said with some regret: "I may not have it there, it's a pity."

He is still very curious about this electric light, whether it is easy to use or not is put aside, the main reason is that it looks very interesting.

Xiao Zirong had a thought: "If you don't have it, you can look for it. Well, I will write about the characteristics of scheelite later. If I can find it, I can make electric lights."

He didn't think about electric lights before, and he focused on making generators to prepare for the electrolytic solution. Now it seems that he can easily make incandescent lamps. Anyway, there is electricity. Although oil lamps are not inconvenient, he is more used to them. Electric light.

In fact, scheelite is not particularly hard to find. After all, scheelite has a characteristic that it emits a weak light under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays. As long as you look for it according to this characteristic, you can always find it.

The most important thing is that Xiao Xuan and Xiao Xuexing will definitely find nothing in Qi State when they unite.

Xiao Zirong turned his head to look at Xiao Xuexing, took his hand and said, "Brother, send someone to help me find scheelite."

Xiao Xuexing nodded immediately: "Okay, tell me what you want later."

Xiao Zirong turned his head and looked at Xiao Xuan again: "Uncle..."

Originally, Xiao Xuan's first reaction when he saw Xiao Zirong was to ask Xiao Xuexing for help, which was a bit tasteful, that was his nephew, he was still the emperor, why didn't his nephew know to come to him?

As a result, as soon as this idea came up, Xiao Zirong looked at him full of expectations, and he immediately agreed, "Okay."

It's rare for his nephew to ask him for something, let alone such a trivial matter, no matter how difficult it is, he can do it.

Xiao Zirong was immediately full of confidence, unless there was no scheelite these days, no matter where it was hidden, it could be found.

Well, maybe he can check the distribution of scheelite to avoid detours, and he can put it into use sooner if he gets it here earlier.

As for why he knew, it depends on whether he used the excuse of dream induction, or a more simple and crude excuse of intuition.

But that's after you find it, so don't worry about it now.

Xiao Ji was obviously also interested and asked: "If you find it, can you tell me, I want to see it too."

Xiao Zirong agreed straight away: "Okay."

In his eyes, Xiao Ji is the future emperor, what could be better than the emperor's interest in science?

Xiao Ji likes it. When he comes to power, he will definitely promote it vigorously. Let alone the Northern Wei Dynasty, even other countries are not their opponents!

Xiao Zirong thought beautifully, Xiao Ji beside him said casually: "However, how many people need to be arranged to shake this thing?"

"Ah?" Xiao Zirong froze for a moment before realizing that what Xiao Ji was talking about was probably the generator, then he smiled and said, "That was made like that for the convenience of the experiment, the real finished product does not rely on manpower."

Xiao Ji looked at him with some doubts: "Don't rely on manpower? What do you want?"

Xiao Zirong simply said: "Using water power to drive is to put a waterwheel by the river, and the rotation of the waterwheel will drive the rotor of the generator to rotate, which saves manpower and material resources."

Speaking of this, he once again sighed how wise he was when he built the canal and the moat.

Xiao Zirong gave the example of the waterwheel, and the others naturally understood.

Xiao Xuan said with emotion: "No wonder you said that no one in Jiankang can help you."

No one in Jiankang really understands this. If they really understand, then someone should make a generator.

Xiao Zirong smiled smugly, and returned to the City Lord's Mansion after talking and laughing all the way.

Xiao Xuan took his son to the main courtyard, Xiao Zirong and Xiao Xuexing went back to their own courtyard side by side.

Halfway through the walk, Xiao Zirong asked, "Has Your Majesty decided when to leave?"

Xiao Xuexing said, "About 24 or 25."

After Xiao Zirong calculated, there was still half a month left.

At this time, the two of them also arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Xiao Xuexing raised his hand and pinched the back of his neck and said, "Okay, don't think so much, His Majesty will take a while to leave. If you don't want to, he won't take him by force." You go."

Only then did Xiao Zirong feel relieved and said with a smile: "No, I just want to bring some souvenirs back to my uncle when he leaves."

Xiao Xuexing smiled lightly: "Don't be in a hurry, just think slowly."

This is really not easy to deal with. Taoyuan City has a lot of delicious food and fun, but none of them are suitable for taking home. You can’t bring back some recipes for Xiao Xuan, right?A generator is fine, but if it's not useful, what's the use of having it?

Xiao Zirong had a headache for a while, he was thinking about something, he didn't even realize that it was not Ayin Aman but the two people Xiao Xuan gave him to serve him when he washed.

When he was thinking about it and almost fell into a drowsy sleep, he suddenly heard footsteps slowly approaching. It was the sound of clogs stepping on the ground.

Xiao Zirong was so frightened that he was about to break out in a cold sweat. He curled up under the quilt and listened carefully. After the footsteps mixed with his heartbeat, it became more obvious in this silent night.

After listening for a while, he realized that the footsteps were not just one person, but two!

Is it an assassin?No, if an assassin is so mentally retarded and still wears clogs, then who is it?

Xiao Zirong couldn't help but opened his eyes and looked over. In the night with only the moonlight shining, two young ladies in white clothes were walking slowly.

Is this a female ghost?Is it from the Wen family?

Xiao Zirong was about to break out in a cold sweat immediately, without even thinking about it, he jumped up and threw the quilt on the two female ghosts, before he even had time to put on his clothes, shoes and socks, he just jumped out.

He ran so fast that the guards at the door didn't even react, and when he ran past, he was stunned and shouted: "City...City Lord?"

However, Xiao Zirong had already broken into Xiao Xuexing's room at this time. Fortunately, Xiao Xuexing hadn't fallen asleep yet, and he seemed to be correcting paperwork. When he heard the sound of the door being knocked open, he was displeased. Facing him tremblingly, he said, "Brother...brother, there is...there is a female ghost!"
