Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 220: The whole city is looking forward to it, I am here!

Countless people were talking about it.

Not only the front of the Imperial City, but also the road in front of the Imperial City was crowded with people.

today,

Undoubtedly, the Qiming Project is the biggest thing in the hearts of the people of Yanyun City.

….….….….….….

Yanyun Palace.

Li Kuan looked at the unsightly wires strung from above.

Because of the rush of time, there is no special plan for the telephone poles, distribution boxes, etc.

Therefore, the simple and crude way is to fix the wires directly to the roof, and follow the edge of the wall if possible. If there is no place, just insert a pole and let the wires fly over.

Naturally, it looks a bit messy.

but,

This did not affect Li Kuan's mood at all.

Especially the wires, it can be said that the more you look at them, the better they look.

These wires are all smelted from fine brass. To be honest, at least the material used is much stronger than the ordinary wires of later generations.

And because the power plants used are all composed of small units, the power generated is not very high, so high-voltage lines are naturally not needed.

Of course, high-voltage lines will definitely be needed in the future, but things need to be done step by step.

Now as long as the power is turned on, everything else will be simple.

Guo Shoujing, Princess Changle, He Shen, Chen Qingzhi, etc. followed closely behind.

Follow Li Kuan and check the lines everywhere.

At last,

Li Kuan went into his room and took out a box.

This box is full of light bulbs.

There are more than fifty.

"How many lamp holders are installed in front of the Imperial City?" Li Kuan asked softly.

The lamp holder was naturally designed by Li Kuan.

But the lamp holder is, after all, much simpler than the light bulb. It is very simple to make and can be mass-produced by just opening a mold.

so,

After Li Kuan handed over the design drawings to He Shen, he asked the machinery factory to produce it.

Then, install.

"His Majesty."

He Shen quickly replied: "Your Majesty, according to your Majesty's instructions, the wires were pulled more than five hundred meters toward the road, but time was urgent and only twenty-five lamp holders were placed on it."

Li Kuan nodded slightly.

"Then turn on the light. Twenty-five is enough..."

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes, then looked up at the lamp holder hanging above his room. He immediately asked He Shen to bring a ladder and screwed on the lamp holder himself.

"Changle, you can also have someone click one in your room later, and then install the rest in Yanyun Palace."

"Also, Changle, I have handed over the design process of this light bulb to the Electrical Research Institute of the School of Physics. You can study it, set up an electrical appliance factory, and start production."

Li Kuan ordered again.

Light bulb.

This thing is difficult to say, but it is not easy to say easy.

In addition, no one knew all aspects of knowledge, so Li Kuan took matters into his own hands and led several university teachers to overcome this problem.

The three main raw materials are tungsten wire and glass, plus a small amount of copper.

The glass is indeed in the shape of a light bulb, but the shape of each light bulb is different because they are all fired by Li Kuan himself.

Without molds, the shapes naturally come in different shapes.

Connect two copper wires to each end of a tungsten wire, and then put them into a light bulb. In fact, a simple light bulb is made.

of course,

There is air inside the light bulb made by Li Kuan.

The service life is not as good as the time of future generations, but these can be improved in the future.

Outside the bulb, that is, at the top of the bulb, rotate the two copper wires connecting the tungsten wire into a shape that can be placed in the lamp holder, and then press it directly on the lamp holder.

Not difficult.

But this is indeed a delicate job, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Princess Changle said excitedly.

She also didn't expect that her Dayan Daily Group would actually start taking on such important tasks.

First she controlled the salt industry, and now she has started to produce light bulbs. It seems that the second brother still trusts her.

but,

She didn't care about this now, she just climbed on the box and started choosing the light bulbs for her room.

at this time,

Chen Qingzhi had already installed the light bulb with quick hands and feet.

"Your Majesty, this light bulb is installed, do you want to try turning it on?"

Beside him, He Shen rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Li Kuan hurriedly.

Li Kuan glanced at the sky outside.

"No, let's wait until nightfall."

"I want to watch the first ray of light in our dark night with the people."

Li Kuan refused directly.

He Shen and others became more and more looking forward to it.

The first light in the dark night.

What would that look like?

Can there be light in the dark night?

hiss….

What exactly is His Majesty’s enlightened plan?

They looked at the light bulb, all lost in thought, completely wondering what use this thing would have at night.

A round glass dome?

They were at a loss.

The speculation in their minds made them a little crazy. Everyone walked out of Li Kuan's palace and stood outside, looking at the sun in the sky.

They all dared to swear that they had never hoped so much that the sun would set quickly!

"Your Majesty, all the light bulbs outside have been installed."

After a while, Chen Qingzhi hurried in and reported.

Li Kuan put down the tea cup in his hand and nodded: "Where are He Shen and the others?"

"Your Majesty, your Excellency, Principal Guo, and others are sitting on the steps outside. They are all looking forward to the sun going down." Chen Qingzhi replied.

Li Kuan:…….

"Okay, then...has the sun set outside?"

Li Kuan glanced out the window.

"Your Majesty, it's coming soon. The sun is already going to set. But the summer is long. It looked like it was going to set when we came here just now, but it hasn't set yet yet."

"I estimate...it will take half an hour before we can completely go down the mountain,"

Chen Qingzhi said.

Li Kuan stood up, patted his robe, put his hands behind his back, and walked out easily.

In front of the main hall,

He Shen, Guo Shoujing and the others were looking longingly at the sun in the west.

In his mouth, he was still mumbling.

"Hurry up and go down the mountain. It's ridiculous. Why is it so slow today? I feel like several hours have passed."

"Hey, Hou Yi should have shot down the sun at that time."

"What's going on today? When we came back from the power plant, wasn't the sun already setting?"

"This big sun is too slow. I want to hammer it down."

"......."

Everyone was intolerable.

"Okay, okay, don't be anxious, it's coming soon."

Li Kuan said a little speechlessly. "His Majesty!"

When everyone saw Li Kuan coming out, they all stood up immediately

Li Kuan nodded.

"It's almost time, we should make preparations."

"Ziyun, you will take someone to fetch a thousand candles and place them in front of the imperial city."

"No, the more the better, there is no upper limit."

Li Kuan glanced at the sunset in the west. It was like an orange-red roulette wheel. The sunset glow on the horizon was dyed red, and the palaces on the earth were also covered with a layer of golden clouds.

Li Kuan knew that the time was almost up.

It's time to prepare.

Chen Qingzhi immediately accepted the order and hurriedly went to prepare.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing with candles?"

"You still use so much."

Guo Shoujing said confused.

A thousand candles, no, Your Majesty, the more the better, what does this have to do with the Qiming Project? Could it be said that the Qiming Project is just about lighting candles?

No!

Your Highness, it will never be so boring.

He Shen and others also looked at Li Kuan blankly.

Now, their minds are completely unable to keep up with His Majesty.

They all feel like ignorant children.

Li Kuan stood under the warm sunset, stretched his waist, glanced at them sideways, and walked towards the wall of Yanyun Palace without saying anything.

"His Majesty…."

Guo Shoujing and the others hurriedly followed.

Your Majesty, this is about to begin! ! .

….…….….….….

In front of Yanyun Palace.

The people are also waiting for the sun to set.

Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan and Gaiwenda were standing at another corner in front of the imperial city gate.

it's here,

Their sight can clearly see everything in front of them.

"Your Majesty...Why hasn't Emperor Dayan come out yet?"

"My legs are a little numb. It's strange. The sun sets so slowly today."

Kong Yingda opened his mouth and subconsciously called Your Majesty directly. After all, in the academy, he, like other students, all called Your Majesty the same.

But when he was with Yu Shinan, Gai Wenda and the others, he still called His Majesty Emperor Dayan.

This can be regarded as the last trace of attachment to the Tang Dynasty in their hearts.

"Come on, the sun is already halfway down."

"Hiss... I just don't know what kind of effect this Qiming Project, which has been incubated for six months, will finally show."

"Qiming Qiming, can it be that Emperor Dayan can push out a star?"

As he said that, Yu Shinan looked around. It seemed that there was no difference here from before, except that there were two more lines in the sky. However, these two lines were very inconspicuous. If you didn't look specifically, you wouldn't be able to see them at all.

These two lines extend towards the main road in front of the imperial city. They seem to have small beans on them, looking like grapes.

of course,

This grape has very few fruits, only one.

"Then who knows? Just wait, everyone is waiting."

"I hope that Your Majesty can bring us a different treasure once again, Great Yan."

"It's like fireworks, so bright!"

Gavinda said expectantly.

"Don't be like the fireworks. Fireworks are fleeting. Although they light up, they don't have much effect." Kong Yingda said quickly.

The three of them chatted.

And the time is getting later and later.

Finally, in the eyes of countless pairs of expectant eyes, the sunset finally completely disappeared under the horizon, and the blood-like clouds in the west finally disappeared completely.

Night has fallen!

"Woohoo...it's dark, it's dark, it's finally dark!"

"It's not easy for his grandma. I have never looked forward to the arrival of the night so much!"

Immediately, someone shouted excitedly and excitedly.

"When will His Majesty come out? By the way, it seems that we... haven't seen what His Majesty looks like yet."

"Oh, shit, when you said that, I also remembered it. It seems that His Majesty has never officially appeared."

"Your Majesty is brave and invincible. I really don't know what your Majesty looks like. I wonder if I can see your Majesty today."

"I heard before that the first generation of people in Dayan had seen His Majesty's true appearance, but they didn't say anything about it. They were very tight-lipped."

"Hey, it's okay. Not many people in the past have been able to see His Majesty's true face. Even Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has rarely seen him, right?"

"Eh... That's true. In all dynasties, there are very few people who know His Majesty's true appearance."

"If I could meet His Majesty, I would have no regrets in this life. Alas, it's difficult. Even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, I have never seen before, let alone Your Majesty. I think His Majesty is like an immortal."

"......."

The people were discussing, and as the sky became darker and darker, everyone became more and more excited.

This is also a coincidence. In the sky tonight, the moon is covered by clouds and mist, and the stars seem to be dim.

It seems like it will be cloudy tomorrow.

After another stick of incense, it was already so dark that I couldn't even see my fingers.

At this time, a bright light suddenly rose in front of the imperial city.

"Look! The Qiming Project has begun. Look, what is that?"

"Is this the Qiming Plan? Damn it, I'm so excited that I can't hold it in anymore. It lights up, lights up, I see it, it really lights up!"

"No! What are you talking about? Don't get too excited. These are candles. This is definitely not the Qiming Plan. There are many candles. The guards are starting to arrange candles. There are so many candles. It looks like there are two or three thousand."

"Huh? Two to three thousand candles, right? Is it possible that lighting so many candles together is His Majesty's enlightenment plan?"

"Hiss... Your Majesty, you won't make fun of us like this, will you?"

"Two or three thousand candles, but why is it so dark? I can only see a little light."

"Two to three thousand candles sounds like a lot. If you put it in a room, it might be very bright, but if you put it outside in an open space, it really doesn't show much brightness."

"Your Majesty, that is Your Majesty!!"

"......."

The moment they saw Li Kuan coming out, the people were excited and went crazy.

Not only because of the more than two thousand candles lit in front of the imperial city gate, but also because of Li Kuan who appeared on the city wall.

After all, this is the first time His Majesty has stood in front of so many people in Dayan.

Of course, such situations are rare.

The emperor, no matter where he is, is a very mysterious character.

Kong Yingda, Gai Wenda and Yu Shinan all had their eyes widened and wanted to pop them out. Even if they took out their magic weapon, the small bench, they couldn't clearly see Li Kuan's appearance when they stepped on it.

The night is like a veil.

In addition, Li Kuan was wearing a mask.

and so.

Even with the light from the more than two thousand candles under the city wall, Li Kuan's true face could not be seen clearly.

"Is this your Majesty? Is this the saint who created the Great Flame?"

Kong Yingda clenched his fists tightly, feeling a little excited.

"Yes, it is Your Majesty, it must be Your Majesty!!!"

Gai Wenda and Yu Shinan also said excitedly.

now,

Li Kuan led Princess Changle, Guo Shoujing, He Shen and others to stand on the wall of Yanyun Palace.

He looked down at the people below.

The open space in front of the imperial city gate was already crowded with people.
