The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 573 Lighthouse
Jiao's eyes followed the swing up and down, and in the short moment of its fall, he accurately caught the flinging of the swing.

hiss~
It turns out that this is the beauty of the swing!

He couldn't help being very annoyed, how could he...

That's not right, although Wang Xifeng is quite open-minded, but after all, he is still a bit short of market.

If we want to reproduce this scene, I'm afraid we can only wait for Aunt Xue.

While engraving a similar picture in his mind, Jiao Shun withdrew his gaze and took advantage of the opportunity to change the drawing under his arm to Pinto, so as not to show his youthful vigor.

At this time, the emperor had already seen Jiao Shun, turned his head and said something to Concubine Rong with a smile, and then strode towards this side.

Jiao Shun and Qiu Shi'an were half shorter, and were about to salute, Emperor Longyuan waved his hand and said: "No, no, let's go in and talk."

Jiao Shun was already used to his frightened manner, so he turned his body slightly, and waited for the emperor to stride towards the palace not far away, then he and Qiu Shi'an followed closely behind.

Under the palace wall, Concubine Rong had already stood up from the swing, and stared at Jiao Shun's back curiously for a long time, until the three of them entered the palace, then looked around and said, "Jiao Shun was born as expected. He looks like a martial artist, and I don't know what he wrote in the memorial, so that His Majesty will take it with you and read it from time to time, and he will hide it from others."

It involves the secrets between the emperor and his favorite ministers, how dare the left and right chatter?
Since they are always watching the nose and the nose and the heart, they look like they are turning a deaf ear.

Fortunately, Concubine Rong just asked casually, and did not expect the servants around her to give an answer. In fact, she had already had some unreliable guesses about the content of the memorial.

After all, every time the emperor took it out to read, it always had an 'immediate effect' effect.

only……

Even if he is a well-known minister of fortune, he probably wouldn't write that kind of thing in the memorial, would he?
Not to mention how Concubine Rong guessed.

However, after entering the palace, Emperor Longyuan couldn't wait to take his seat, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Jiao Aiqing, I don't know what progress you have made in the past few days?"

"Report to Your Majesty."

Jiao Shun cupped his hands and replied: "I think that if you want to frighten the barbarians, you can't rely on the small hand-cranked generator alone, so these days I mainly urge the craftsmen to maximize the power of the generator and Change to steam, hydraulic drive..."

"What about zooming it in?"

Emperor Longyuan stopped Jiao Shun's words impatiently, and asked eagerly: "Have you ever thought of a way to let him show his power?"

He had already sat on the Arhat's bed, but he couldn't help standing up when he was excited, and said eagerly: "The power of the sky thunder has always been praised and feared by people. If I, Daxia, can subdue the sky thunder, I will be able to rush into the battlefield in the future." What else is there to fear?"

"This……"

Jiao Shunzhi felt that his back molars hurt, so he could paint cakes, but he didn't dare to promise such a big cake easily, so he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, how can such a great power of heaven and earth be easily obtained? In time, it may be possible to reappear in the sky." Lei Zhiwei, but right now I'm afraid..."

The excitement on the emperor's face subsided immediately, and he interjected again: "In Aiqing's opinion, how much power can the sky thunder reproduce now?"

Without waiting for Jiao Shun to answer, he asked again: "Can you destroy miles with one blow?"

Jiao Shun: "..."

Well, the most I can think of is an electromagnetic gun. Who knows that in the eyes of the emperor, it should be conservatively said to have the power of a small-yield nuclear bomb.

However, compared with the bragging literati in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this is not bad. When they open their mouths, they are corrupted for dozens of miles.

"His Majesty."

Jiao Shun couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Even if it's a thunderstorm, it can only destroy trees, and it may not even shake houses..."

"Is that right?"

Emperor Longyuan frowned, quite unbelievable.

After all, in the past few years since he was enthroned, he has received reports from the local government more than once, saying that the casualties and losses of the people under the thunder disaster are countless, which made him unconsciously greatly overestimate the power of thunder and lightning.

However, he believed Jiao Shun's words more than those magistrates who had almost never met.

only……

"But I have already told the Sifang Pavilion to inform the envoys of various countries that I want to show them the power of the thunder."

Jiao Shun: "..."

The emperor and his ministers stared at each other for a while, then the emperor sat back on the Arhat's bed, and sighed, "Then what can Ai Qing say, what can we do now?"

"Is this..."

Jiao Shun thought for a while and answered truthfully: "If the arrangements are made in advance, it should be possible to turn a group of livestock into charred corpses in the thunder and lightning."

In fact, this power is not small in the current view, but there must be a huge gap with the emperor's fantasy.

So the emperor hesitated for a while, and asked again: "Can't you make it turn into powder in a few breaths?"

Jiao Shun: "..."

Seeing that the emperor's expression became more and more unhappy, he thought for a while, and simply proposed another way: "Your Majesty, if you want to show the power of the thunder, you don't necessarily have to use it as a weapon. The lamp offered..."

As soon as the electric light was mentioned, the emperor couldn't help but interjected again: "We have seen this thing in Xiyi before, and it is said that it was made more than ten years ago."

Huh?
Did Edison already invent the electric light this year?

Jiao Shun vaguely remembered that Edison should have survived World War I. Even if he invented the light bulb in his teens, he would have been a centenarian after World War I.

Did the old man live so long?
At this time, the emperor saw that he was speechless, as if he had been shocked, he hurriedly said with relief: "But the electric lamps made by Xiyi are said to be just one or two shiny metal bars, far inferior to the glazed lamps made by Aiqing." Translucent."

Now Jiao Shun breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually made a common-sense mistake just now. Edison invented the electric light with mass production and practicality after many attempts. In fact, the early prototype of the laboratory was actually discovered as early as the beginning of the nineteenth century [1801]. It was invented, and there was a gap of 78 years between the two.

Not to mention this, after confirming that electric lights are barely cutting-edge technology, Jiao Shun immediately cheered up again: "Since this is the case, I think that instead of pursuing the power of thunder and lightning, it is better to increase the brightness of electric lights by a thousand times, and then set up a lighthouse. Wrap it around it, so that the surrounding fields will be as bright as day."

"At that time, I will tell the foreign envoys attending the meeting that my Great Xia has always put the people first. Xia will become the country that never sleeps!"

This is what he came up with when he was looking at the swing outside. Isn’t the emperor really happy, so just try to blow it up as much as possible. As for whether it can be realized in the future——Anyway, the emperor will not go door-to-door among the people investigation.

Sure enough, Emperor Longyuan didn't realize what happened in the front, but the grand narrative behind it was obviously to his liking, so he stood up excitedly and said: "Zhuang! I heard that Wuxi is known as the empire on which the sun never sets. How can Xia Bin serve all nations and fall behind the barbarians? Wait until the iron-clad ships form an army..."

As he said that, Emperor Longyuan stretched out his hands and clutched them, his eyes full of ambition: "I want the titles of the land that never sleeps and the empire on which the sun never sets!"
