Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 340 It's okay if everyone doesn't understand

Emperor Qianwu did not continue to ask about this matter.

He just had some doubts about the feasibility of cutting off a river to build a hydropower station, which seemed like a fantasy.

"Is it really feasible to cut off the river and build a hydropower station?" Emperor Qianwu looked a little dazed, feeling like he was dreaming.

Li Changfeng said firmly: "Of course, when did my son lie to you, father?"

This is exactly the reason why Li Changfeng deliberately showed the electric light, which attracted Emperor Qianwu's attention, and explained so many reasons in detail.

The construction of hydropower stations requires the full support of Emperor Qianwu.

There are too many industries under his command now, the development and expansion speed is too fast, and the relevant talents are simply not enough.

The people under his command can only provide technical guidance, provide relevant core equipment, and deploy manpower for official cooperation, all of which need to be completed with the support of Emperor Qianwu.

Combining the successful experience of the Ministry of Railways, Li Changfeng decided to establish the Ministry of Electric Power in order not to be subject to various constraints.

Although it is still difficult for Emperor Ganwu to accept it now, he still chooses to believe in Li Changfeng: "Okay, then how do you need my cooperation?"

Li Changfeng immediately stated his request.

He finally mentioned that the real start of construction will not start until the spring of next year, and now it is only the preliminary preparation work.

Emperor Qianwu readily agreed.

After leaving the palace, Li Changfeng sent a team to start geological exploration and site selection.

According to his plan, the hydropower station should meet the needs of the scientific research institute and the palace, and on this basis, consider meeting the needs of the people in the capital.

At the same time, relevant equipment arrived at the palace and began to be installed.

During this period, news of Li Changfeng's invention of the electric light spread in the capital, and everyone was amazed.

In the streets and alleys, men, women and children are all discussing this matter.

"Have you heard? His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has made a new invention, a lantern that can be lit without candles and lamp oil!"

"Nonsense, then what is a lantern? It's called an electric lamp!"

"That's right, I heard that it uses electricity, but I don't know what the store is, and it's really puzzling that I can't see or touch it!"

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has always done things unconstrained, who can think clearly?"

"..."

All the dignitaries in the capital also knew about this matter.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the Great Court Meeting again.

The civil and military officials still had the same glance as before, entered the palace according to the timing, and walked towards the Xuanzheng Hall.

From a distance, they could see that today's Xuanzheng Hall is different from the past, the lights outside are very bright.

Looking in through the window, it is also very bright.

Chen Dingyuan, Minister of the Household Department, was a little surprised and said, "Why is the Xuanzheng Hall so bright today?"

Feng Quji was also full of doubts, and then he seemed to think of something, his expression became agitated, he didn't speak, and ran quickly towards the Xuanzheng Hall.

Ye Qingcang was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Could it be that the electric lights of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince can't be installed in the palace?"

Although rumors about the electric lights are everywhere these days, they are all important ministers in the court after all, and it is not good for them to watch after the lights are on in Li Changfeng's mansion after the curfew.

Therefore, most of them have never seen electric lights.

Hearing Ye Qingcang's words at this time, everyone couldn't help being curious, and ran towards the Xuanzheng Hall at a faster pace.

Soon, they were at the two electric lights hanging at the entrance of the main hall.

"As the legend says, there are no candles or lamp oil!"

"Oh my God, how the hell is this glowing?"

"This light is too bright. If only I had such a light in my house, it wouldn't be so troublesome to wake up at night!"

"..."

After a burst of exclamation, the officials entered the hall.

There are more electric lights inside, illuminating the Xuanzheng Hall brightly, and each electric light is like a small sun, attracting everyone's attention.

While everyone was talking, Li Changfeng yawned and Shanshan came late.

When the officials saw him, they immediately surrounded him.

"Your Highness, why does the electric lamp shine without candle oil?"

"I heard that electricity makes the lights turn on. What is that?"

"Is this thing expensive? When will you sell it? I want to install such a set in my house."

"That's right, Your Highness, don't sell it too expensive!"

"..."

Li Changfeng didn't have the patience to spread his knowledge of physics with them, but several ministers said they wanted to buy electric lights, which made him very happy.

This shows that the electricity market is very good, and it will definitely make a lot of money in the future.

As for selling power generation equipment, Li Changfeng is not that interested.

One is to look down on that little money.

The second is that the research and manufacturing tasks of the scientific research institute are too heavy now, and there are not so many manpower and time to build more generators for sale.

After a few casual words, Emperor Qianwu came soon.

After the group of ministers paid homage, Emperor Qianwu opened the door to meet him, pointed to the electric lights in the hall, and said, "My dear friends, how about this thing?"

Prime Minister Feng Quji, who has always kept a low profile and did not express his opinions easily, seemed very active, and he was the first to stand up and said: "This thing is really a wonderful workmanship. If everyone can use it, it will definitely be a pair of eyes. Prosperous scene!"

Ye Qingcang was the second to stand up: "Your Majesty, this thing is also very useful in the army. With the help of this thing, the defenders everywhere can see more clearly and farther, and are not afraid of the enemy's sneak attack."

Other ministers also expressed their opinions one after another, all of which were praises.

The opinions were all unified, and Emperor Qianwu was very happy.

He proudly smiled and said: "This thing was invented by my ninth son, Changfeng. He proposed the establishment of the Ministry of Electric Power and started preparations for the construction of a hydropower station. Today, we will discuss this matter in the court."

As soon as the words fell, all the ministers looked blank.

The Ministry of Electric Power can understand that it must be the same organization as the Ministry of Railways. This kind of function and responsibility is clear, and its efficiency also convinces them.

But this hydropower station made it hard for them to understand.

What the hell is this.

Not to mention them, even Emperor Qianwu didn't know much about it, so he could only look at Li Changfeng.

"Changfeng, please explain."

Li Changfeng nodded, feeling a little helpless.

After thinking for a while, he said briefly: "It is to cut off the river and build a factory to generate electricity... Electricity is something that can be seen but touched. It is something that can light up lights. With a hydropower station, it can provide a steady stream of electricity. , everyone can use electric lights.”

Although he tried his best to explain in the most easy-to-understand language, the officials still looked confused.

Li Changfeng said helplessly: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand this, you just need to wait for the lights to be installed at home."

Gu Tiancheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, thought for a while before asking: "If you build a hydropower station in a river, won't it be washed away by the water?"

Li Changfeng smiled and said: "Of course not, Mr. Gu underestimated the stability of the reinforced concrete structure."

"However, how to construct in water?"

"This prince has his own way."

Gu Tiancheng opened his mouth again and again, but in the end he still didn't ask any other questions.

What Li Changfeng said was really unbelievable.

He has a lot of questions, but he doesn't know where to start.
