Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong felt a little embarrassed. The gas in the incandescent lamp is usually nitrogen or argon or a mixture of the two. Anyway, it must not be oxygen.

But now, the white tungsten filament and the lamp tail are made, and it is embarrassing to get stuck in the most critical assembly part.

Of course Zhai Xi and the others didn't know why he suddenly called to stop. Xiao Zirong sighed and said, "If it's just assembled like this, I'm afraid it will explode when the electricity is turned on."

Zhai Xi and the others subconsciously thought of the explosion of the gunpowder bamboo tube, couldn't help shaking their hands, and quickly put down the materials in their hands.

Xiao Zirong asked in confusion, "Don't you all ask why it exploded?"

Everyone looked at him blankly, and responded subconsciously: "Why?"

Xiao Zirong: ...

He felt a little tired. These people can't do it. Why don't they have the spirit of active exploration?

They don't ask Xiao Zirong that sometimes he doesn't know what to explain and what not to explain, or he may subconsciously ignore what he thinks is common sense.

The common sense of later generations may be very advanced knowledge in this era.

He rubbed his forehead, and decided to put this matter aside for the time being, and get out the electric light first.

Since you can't use inert gas, you can only find a way to evacuate the inside of the bulb.

The bulbs that Edison made at the beginning were also directly evacuated, so as to avoid the oxidation of tungsten filaments and a series of other chemical reactions.

It's just that once the vacuumed bulb falls down, it is easy to cause the outer glass to burst everywhere due to the difference in internal and external air pressure. The threat caused by the broken glass is many times that of ordinary glass products.

But now there is no way, and as long as you are careful, there will always be opportunities in the future anyway.

With electricity and a foundation in chemical engineering, as long as a group of talents can be cultivated, science will definitely continue to develop.

It was really not easy to draw a vacuum in the era when there was no vacuum machine. Xiao Zirong directly used the weight of mercury to draw the vacuum.

At first, he was worried that this method of vacuuming was too crude and the effect would not be good, but after the first light bulb was assembled and powered on carefully, the brightness of the light bulb told him that this method was feasible.

Although this time is not as shocking as the last time when using bamboo thread to generate light, this light is much brighter than that of bamboo thread.

Xiao Zirong happily asked people to do more, and he was going to replace all the light bulbs in the city lord's mansion with this look.

The wiring of the City Lord's Mansion has almost been remodeled, and there are even wires passing under the eaves.

Xiao Zirong replaced all the oil lamps in the glazed lamp with light bulbs, and even made some small ones to wrap around the tree trunk.

As for the leaves... He didn't dare to do it. The incandescent lamp would emit heat. He was worried that it would be easy to cause problems on the tree, and even if there was a problem with the trunk, it would be easier to deal with.

In addition, there are porch lights on the road outside, all of which are made of cement in the shape of a crane, with a lamp in the mouth of the crane. The lamp used to be an oil lamp, but now it has naturally become an electric lamp.

After finishing everything, Xiao Zirong suddenly found that he seemed to have overlooked another problem—he didn't make a switch.

Fortunately, this thing is not too difficult, only the connection of the line needs to be done.

Xiao Xuexing originally thought that Xiao Zirong said that he really wanted to rest when he said that he was on vacation, but he didn't expect that the child still couldn't run out of the house every day, and every day when he came home, he was immersed in writing and drawing, and had little time to talk to him.

Xiao Xuexing endured it for two days and finally couldn't help it. She grabbed Xiao Zirong's collar and dragged back the little brat who wanted to run away, asking, "What have you been up to these two days?"

He sent someone to inquire, and the simplest preparation was already being carried out in the preparation room, which was to make sulfuric acid, and nothing else was done.

So what is Xiao Zirong going out for recently?

When Xiao Zirong was carried back by him, he was still a little dazed, he didn't expect him to be such a big man at all, his brother said he would carry him back, and he carried him back, feeling that such a little weight was nothing to Xiao Xuexing.

He looked at Xiao Xuexing puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Xuexing frowned: "Didn't you say you wanted to take a break before? Why do you look busier than before?"

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong was very excited and said: "It's a rest, it's easy, and my brother will definitely like it when I finish it."

Xiao Xuexing said simply: "You are so busy that you have lost a lot of weight these two days, how could I like it?"

Xiao Zirong touched his cheek: "Ah? Are you thinner?"

Xiao Xuexing pointed the mirror directly in front of him and said, "Look for yourself."

Xiao Zirong took a closer look, but he didn't see whether he was thin or not, but he found that his complexion was not very good, and the fundus of his eyes was slightly dark, which was obviously due to lack of sleep.

He suddenly felt a little guilty. The last time Xiao Xuexing was upset because of this matter, he had promised well at the time, but turned around and repeated the same trick. It was good that his brother didn't lock him up directly and not let him go out.

Xiao Xuexing really wanted to do this, but Xiao Xuan was still there, so it was ultimately inappropriate for him to do so.

Of course, the more important thing is that he was worried about scaring Xiao Zirong.

He was trying to be a competent brother, a... normal brother.

Xiao Zirong swallowed her saliva and said, "Okay... it seems a little bit, hey, forget it, anyway, it's the same if I'm not around for the next thing, so I'll just be lazy for a day."

I don't know if the psychology affects the physiology. Xiao Zirong couldn't help but yawned after saying this. He was not energetic just now, but now he seems to be falling asleep following Shishi.

Xiao Xuexing looked at him helplessly: "I want to sleep, take off my clothes and go to bed."

Xiao Zirong scratched his head and said, "This is your bedroom, I'd better go back to my place first."

Xiao Xuexing directly grabbed his wrist and said, "Just sleep here with me, and I will watch over you personally, so that you won't be obedient and obedient again."

Xiao Zirong is helpless, is he such a dishonest person?

Well, he is.

It's normal for Xiao Xuexing not to believe him, and Xiao Zirong really didn't think about running outside again, so he just took off his clothes and took off the hairpin on his head.

Xiao Xuexing watched him take off his clothes without any hesitation, and for some reason subconsciously averted his eyes.

Xiao Zirong lay on the bed and pulled the quilt up to cover half of his face, blinking his eyes and asked, "Do you want to sleep with me, brother?"

Xiao Xuexing asked people to bring the desk and documents over and said, "You sleep, I will take care of some things."

Xiao Zirong didn't say anything, closed his eyes and went back to sleep again.

This time he slept until almost noon, if Xiao Xuexing hadn't woken him up, he might have continued to sleep.

Because he didn't wake up naturally, Xiao Zirong was a little dazed when he first opened his eyes, and his round eyes stared blankly at Xiao Xuexing.

Xiao Xuexing had no choice but to take the cloth towel from Ah Yin's hand and help Xiao Zirong wipe his face and hands.

After Xiao Zirong came back to his senses, he called out: "Brother?"

Xiao Xuexing responded and asked, "Did you wake up?"

Xiao Zirong let out a long sigh: "I'm awake now, I had a dream."

Xiao Xuexing asked while asking for dinner: "What kind of dream? A good dream or a bad dream?"

Xiao Zirong became more energetic after dressing and washing, thought for a while and said: "It's not good or bad, it's mainly my subordinates... Sigh, it's too worrying."

Xiao Xuexing looked up at him: "Huh? What's the matter?"

Xiao Zirong sat in front of his food table and took a sip of soup first, and there was no rule between him and Xiao Xuexing.

In other words, Xiao Xuexing didn't like to talk when eating, but he didn't have such a good habit, especially when he cooked new dishes, he would often ask Xiao Xuexing if it was good, and which dish he liked better.

As time went by, Xiao Xuexing was also led by him.

Xiao Zirong sighed and said, "They really lack subjective initiative."

Xiao Xuexing was almost immune to the new words that came out of Xiao Zirong's mouth, and asked directly: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Zirong explained and said: "Shouldn't they take the initiative to ask what they know and what they don't understand? I'm not usually fierce. If they ask me, I will definitely answer, but from before to now, Zhai Xi is better. Occasionally I will ask one question, but there are no more than ten, and it is even more so for others. If I don’t tell them, they won’t ask. How can they be alone? If they can’t be alone, how can I be a salted fish?”

Xiao Xuexing was a little confused: "Being a salted fish?"

Xiao Zirong explained: "It just means... I don't have big ambitions, I just get by... Anyway, it means that they all grow up, and I can live a leisurely life every day."

Although Xiao Xuexing didn't like that Xiao Zirong was too busy to forget himself, he also didn't want Xiao Zirong to retire early at such a young age.

But that's all in the future. Regarding Xiao Zirong's troubles now, Xiao Xuexing said very calmly: "If you don't understand, just change."

On the whole, Qi State is short of talents, or it can be said that there will never be too many talent reserves.

But it hasn't reached the point where even if one person doesn't like it, he will continue to use it. There are so many capable people in the world, why bother?

Xiao Zirong smiled wryly and said, "Where can someone be replaced? These people were carefully selected by me."

Xiao Xuexing raised his eyes and looked at him: "There is no one in Taoyuan City, so is there no one in other places?"

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong paused with his chopsticks, looked up at Xiao Xuexing and asked, "Brother means..."

Xiao Xuexing simply put down his chopsticks and said very seriously: "I know this place is very special to you, but since you have accepted outsiders, you can't continue to be complacent if you let them in. There are so many talents in the world, why bother to choose in Taoyuan City? I don't tell you, you should know that those people in Taoyuan City are not qualified enough after all."

Xiao Zirong frowned: "I know what brother means, but... I'm not happy."

Xiao Xuexing: ...

He couldn't say that.

If Xiao Zirong tried to persuade him with other reasons, he would definitely give Xiao Zirong a detailed analysis and tell him what to do is the best.

But Xiao Zirong said childishly that he was unhappy, could Xiao Xuexing make him unhappy?Can't.

So he also thought about it with a very headache and said: "I found out that your plan for officials in Taoyuan City seems to be more than the current one?"

Xiao Zirong's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Did brother see it?"

Hey, he felt a little regretful before that the system of three provinces and six ministries is better than the current nine-rank Zhongzheng system. Unfortunately, no one seems to have discovered anything from the special official system of Taoyuan City, which made it difficult for him to take the initiative to say that the official system is so important. This kind of thing is too sensitive, if he directly said that the official system should be changed, even Xiao Xuexing would think he was crazy.

Xiao Xuexing nodded slightly: "I know, but I always feel that there is still something missing. I thought it was because you didn't set it up completely, but now it seems...you have already made up your mind?"
