"Master, let me do it!"
Lantian County, in front of the Ba River dam.
Li Zexuan ordered and was about to turn on the relay switch for the generator's output power when Mo Chui stepped forward and cupped his fists at Mo Huai.
The ancients were particular about respecting their teachers. Li Zexuan said that the generator produced high-voltage electricity, and any carelessness could cost one's life. That was why Mo Chui volunteered!
Mo Huai smiled and immediately refused. "No need! This electromagnetic relay uses a weak current to control a strong current. It won't be dangerous! Besides, if something happens, my reaction speed is much faster than yours! "
Li Zexuan nodded when he heard that. The electromagnetic relay was indeed an "automatic switch" that used a smaller current and a lower voltage to control a larger current and a higher voltage. There was no danger in itself. This kind of switch was often used in strong current working environments. That was why Li Zexuan had asked Mo Huai and the others to make this thing in advance more than half a month ago!
After Mo Huai finished speaking, he turned and walked toward the dam.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, the electric lights on the riverbank suddenly lit up, but soon there was the sound of explosions!
Four light bulbs exploded. Fortunately, Li Zexuan was prepared and did not let anyone stand near the light bulbs. Otherwise, the glass shards that shot out in all directions would have pierced their flesh and would have either died or been injured!
However, the other six light bulbs lit up normally. Other than the difference in brightness, there was nothing unusual about them!
"The light bulbs are on! Our generator is a success! "
Mo Huai looked at the six light bulbs and said excitedly.
"Oh! It's a success! We've succeeded! "
The teachers of the Yanhuang Academy burst into loud cheers at this moment.
They had succeeded! Under Li Zexuan's guidance, they had successfully created electricity. This achievement was enough to go down in history!
When the onlookers on the shore saw the transparent glass ball suddenly emit a strong light, they could not help but exclaim!
"Quick! Look! That glass ball is glowing! "
"Oh my god! Marquis made a glowing glass ball. This! This is amazing! "
"No! It seemed that Marquis wasn't the only one who did it. All the teachers from Yanhuang College seemed to have participated as well! Yanhuang College is indeed a place of immortals. The people who come from there are indeed different. They all have immortal means! "
"Isn't it? Other people could turn stone into gold, but the teachers from Yanhuang College were able to turn a non-luminous glazed ball into a luminous pearl! It's truly the work of a god! "
Li Zexuan nodded with satisfaction when he heard the cheers of the Academy and the exclamations of the surrounding people. He said to Mo Huai and the others,
Although only a few light bulbs have been lit, this shows that our thinking and methods are correct. We have already taken a small step towards success. Next, with everyone's joint efforts, we will definitely be able to make the electricity generated by the Bahe Hydropower Station supply the entire Lantian. Today's era of electricity will be started by us! "
"Good! Yamachō said it well! Our Yanhuang College will be the first to create electricity and let all the people use it! "
"Haha! With this electric light, you won't find the light dim when you read at night! "
"That's right! With the electric light, the Academy can let the students attend classes at night in the future! "
The teachers from the Academy cheered loudly. What did cultured people like to do the most? Needless to say, it was definitely reading. At this moment, most of the teachers saw the electric light and couldn't help but think of reading. When Li Zexuan heard this, he couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for the students because the evening self-study era of Yanhuang College was about to begin!
It might be difficult for the power of this hydropower station to supply the entire Lantian County, but it was not a problem to supply Yanhuang College on Yunshan Mountain.
At that time, the students would definitely have to start the evening self-study at night!
Thinking back to when Li Zexuan was in school, the evening self-study was his most painful memory! Obviously, he was tired from the day and wanted to rest, but the teacher didn't let him. Instead, he had to suffer in the several hours of evening self-study. Just thinking about it made him suffer!
Now, he could finally pass this sin on to his students. This feeling of gloating, hehe …
"Humph! You brat! Fortunately, I usually treat you generously, but now that you have something good here, you forget about me! "
Just when everyone was feeling very proud, Li Erlong walked with two guards behind him. Unknowingly, he walked behind Li Zexuan and then said in a bad mood.
Li Zexuan was shocked. He secretly wondered how Old Li could appear and disappear so mysteriously. This person was scaring people to death!
"This subject greets Your Majesty!"
Li Zexuan quickly came back to his senses and bowed.
"Greetings Your Majesty!"
"Greetings Your Majesty!"
The shore of Ba River, which was noisy just now, immediately quieted down. The teachers from Yanhuang College and the onlookers all bowed to Li Erlong.
Li Erlong waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite! Today, I came only to see the electricity produced by Yanhuang College! "
He had also received news yesterday that the Ba River dam would be opened today and Li Zexuan would use this opportunity to test the power generation function of the generator.
As for the new electric light bulb, it was an unexpected surprise to him!
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said, "Why did Your Majesty say that? This subject originally wanted to wait for the generator power to be stable and then connect the wires to the palace. At that time, the palace can also use electric lights! The relevant technology is not mature yet, and the palace is an important place in the empire. This subject does not dare to take the risk! "
These words were obviously nonsense that he had spouted on the spot. But to be honest, Li Erping had always treated him well. His stubborn temper had caused him quite a bit of trouble, but Li Erping had always forgiven him. Not only that, he had become a Marquis at such a young age. In addition to his official position, he had also received many other rewards, such as mineral resources. Even if Li Erping didn't mention these things, Li Zexuan would still be grateful.
It was said that the imperial family was the most ruthless, but Li Erlong was impeccable to his subject! Most of the time, Li Zexuan was more like an elder in his heart, not the ruler of a country!
Therefore, when the power generation technology of the hydropower station matured, it would definitely be connected to the palace!
Hearing this, Li Erlong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hmph! It doesn't matter if it's true or not, but with your words, Zhen's heart feels a little better! This electric light … can really be called a divine object. This thing is brighter than candles and oil lamps. With it, the night can be as bright as day! Oil lamps burn oil and candles burn wax. Could it be that this electric light burns electricity? "
Li Zexuan nodded and replied, "Replying to Your Majesty! This electric light consumes electricity and does not burn electricity! This subject has said before that in the universe, energy is conserved! The reason why this electric light can emit light is nothing more than the conversion of electricity into light energy! "
"Electricity? Light energy? "
Li Erlong muttered and then asked doubtfully, "Could it be that this light has energy?"
This was the first time he heard the term light energy. In his opinion, sunlight could be seen every day, so how could there be energy?
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this light is originally a type of energy. According to this subject's knowledge, the reason why this plant can grow is because it relies on the energy brought by sunlight. It combines a component in the air with water to form organic matter that is beneficial for plant growth. Therefore, plant growth generally cannot be separated from water and sunlight!"
Li Erlong raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was the first time he heard that plants relied on the absorption of light energy to grow. Although he was somewhat skeptical, he did not delve deeper into this issue. He turned to look at the electric light that was hung up. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He could not help but say,
"Good stuff! Good stuff! Quickly set up all your power stations. We look forward to the citizens of Tang Empire being able to use electricity and electric lights! At that time, you will become a subject that brings light to the citizens of this world, and we will become an emperor that brings light to the citizens of this world! Haha! "
Li Zexuan bowed and said, "This subject obeys your majesty ~!"
Bringing light to the people of this world, what a heavy and great ideal!
At this time, Li Erlong looked at the surging river water in the ditch and said with emotion, "Back then, you spent a huge amount of money to build this dam. Who knows how many people talked about you being a wastrel behind your back. Today, no one would have thought that because of this dam, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and tens of thousands of citizens of Lantian County were saved! Today, Lantian County has become the first county in the entire Guanzhong region to successfully divert water from a ditch. Marquis Yong 'an, your contributions cannot go unnoticed! "
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty's words are too serious. The reason why Lantian County was able to successfully divert water so quickly was definitely not because of this subject's efforts alone! The officials of Lantian County and the tens of thousands of citizens of the fifty over villages of Lantian County all contributed greatly! Without their hard work and rushing work day and night, even if this subject had the ability to reach the heavens, it would be impossible for this subject to clear the ditch and successfully divert water in such a short time! "
When County Magistrate He and the rest heard Li Zexuan mention themselves in front of Li Erlong, all of them stood up straight. Their hearts were also in their throats and they were extremely excited.
When Li Erlong heard this, he looked indifferently at County Magistrate He and the rest of the people standing by the side. He nodded lightly and said, "Who has contributed and who has not contributed, we know in our hearts! However, this cement ditch of yours does indeed look much better than normal ditches. If it wasn't for the limited amount of cement produced by your workshop, we would have planned to promote this cement ditch in other places! "
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. In less than two years, the cement produced by Lantian County will definitely be able to satisfy the needs of the entire Tang Empire!"
Here, he played a little trick. He said Lantian County and not the workshop of Strange Interest Pavilion. The deeper meaning in his words could only be understood by those who were as meticulous as hair!
"Good! Then, we shall wait for your good news! "
…
"Hehe! Shaoning, did you quarrel with Ink Girl again recently? "
After Li Erlong left, the riverbank of Ba River also began to "clean up" the area. The light bulbs and wires were all removed. Otherwise, if some naughty child accidentally touched the wires, the consequences would be unimaginable!
On the way back to Cloud Mountain, Li Zexuan walked to Yan Shaoning's side and asked with a smile.
"No … No! We are all fine! "
Yan Shaoning was startled and quickly replied.
Li Zexuan obviously did not believe him and said,
"Hehe! Shaoning, why aren't you telling me the truth? Both of you are straightforward people. How can I not tell if you are quarreling or not? Tell me! Maybe I can help you and give you some advice! Otherwise, if that girl goes crazy, you won't be able to afford it! Don't blame me for not reminding you when that time comes! "
"… Sigh! Nothing can be hidden from your eyes! "
Yan Shaoning paused and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Maybe I said something wrong earlier and made her angry? She should be fine in two days! "
Li Zexuan asked curiously, "Said something wrong? What did you say? "
Yan Shaoning thought for a while as if he was recalling something. After a while, he said, "That day, Wei Er suddenly told me that she had a dream the night before. She dreamed that there was a pair of intertwined branches growing in her courtyard!"
Intertwined branches?
Could it be that the Mo family's girl wanted to get married?
Li Zexuan couldn't help but be surprised. Intertwined branches referred to a kind of plant where the branches of two trees grew together. It was also known as the Acacia Tree, the Husband and Wife Tree, and the Life and Death Tree. It was a metaphor for the love between husband and wife. In the natural world, this kind of tree was quite rare.
"Then what did you say to her at that time?"
Li Zexuan asked.
Yan Shaoning scratched his head awkwardly and said,
"At that time, I just remembered that I had a strange dream the night before, so she asked me to tell her about it. I clearly remember that before I told her about it, her face was full of happiness. But after I finished, she immediately turned hostile and wanted to kill me in the Cloud Mountain!"
Li Zexuan became more and more curious. Wasn't it just telling each other about the dream? Why did they quarrel with each other? So he quickly asked again, "Shaoning, what dream did you have that night?"
Yan Shaoning said weakly, "I … I dreamed that Wei Er was eating … eating shit. I couldn't stop her. Xiaoxuan, don't you think it's strange?"
"I …"
When Li Zexuan heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He thought to himself, Although I know that Yan Shaoning is a straight man, I didn't expect you to be this straight. You really dare to say anything!
"After you said this sentence, Ink Girl didn't kill you. You're really lucky!"
After a long silence, Li Zexuan sighed faintly and said.
"No! Xiaoxuan! I was just telling the truth. I didn't deliberately distort the truth. Why are you blaming me? "
Yan Shaoning said anxiously.
Li Zexuan said angrily, "If I were Ink Girl, even if I didn't beat the shit out of you, I would've said 'Sorry, I stole your food'!"
"What do you mean … F * ck, Xiaoxuan, are you scolding me?"
Yan Shaoning was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and immediately jumped up.
Li Zexuan sighed helplessly. No matter what, Yan Shaoning was still his brother. If he needed to help him, he had to help him! Thus, he said with a serious expression, "Shaoning, before the two of you fell out, did you and Miss Mo experience anything out of the ordinary?"
"No! We usually only wander around the Cloud Mountain. What's different about it? "
Yan Shaoning shook his head without thinking.
Li Zexuan rolled his eyes and said, "Think about it carefully. It doesn't matter if you encountered anything unusual!"
Yan Shaoning frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, he suddenly said loudly, "Oh! I remember now! The day before, I went to the Han Family Manor with Wei 'er and happened to bump into Xiao Xuan's guard, Pang Feiji, and his fiancée. At that time, they were busy preparing for the wedding. He even invited us to attend the wedding banquet together on the day of the wedding! But Wei Er seemed a little unhappy at that time! "
"That's right!"
Li Zexuan clapped his hands and then said something earth-shattering, "Shaoning, it's not that I want to criticize you, but Miss Mo and you are congenial. The two of you have been together for so long, so you know each other's backgrounds and understand each other's intentions! Now that she saw someone else getting married, Ink Girl definitely wants to get married too. I didn't expect you to be so unromantic. No wonder she was so angry! "
