Chapter 438 Return News

At the same time as the fleet returned, on the capital side, Wang Lang finally produced the world's first electrical appliance, the electric light, after continuous research and repeated experiments.

The experience of predecessors saved Wang Lang from many detours. Edison's experience is basically familiar to those who have attended elementary school.

The principle of electric light is not complicated, the difficulty lies in the position of the filament. Wang Lang knows that the best way to make a filament is to use tungsten filament, but he has never seen tungsten as a metal before he came to this world, let alone in this world. .

In his memory, Edison originally used carbonized bamboo wire to make electric lights. With this idea, he took a lot less detours than his predecessors.

Although there is a theoretical basis, it is not so easy to implement in practice.

Wang Lang didn't know how many times he failed before he managed to turn on the light bulb for a moment.

But this instant of light made Wang Lang dance with excitement.

This was an epoch-making invention, and he knew that as long as he continued to research, Xia Guo would definitely be able to use electric lights.

He didn't know how much painstaking effort he had put in to let human beings go from drinking blood to using electric lights in decades.

For others, Xiaguo may be a safe haven, a place to live.

But for Wang Lang, this is his child, from scratch, watching it grow and become stronger little by little.

With the first success, the following experiments will be easier and more critical. The most critical part has been solved, and the rest are technical problems.

In terms of technology, over the past few decades, a large number of manual talents have emerged in Xia Kingdom, and it is not difficult to make practical filaments.

When Wang Lang handed over the task of making filaments to the Ministry of Industry, Mu Feng, who was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, didn't know what the use of firing bamboo wire was, but as Wang Lang's confidant minister, he didn't ask much. What His Majesty asked, the only thing I have to do is to do things well, so as to live up to His Majesty's trust.

With the participation of the Ministry of Industry, various types of bamboo silk were sent to Wang Lang.

After experimenting one by one, Wang Lang finally found the most suitable one.

In Wang Lang's secret laboratory, Wang Lang was holding a wire with trembling hands.

"Bless the gods, it will definitely succeed this time."

After praying secretly in his heart, Wang Lang turned on the power and gently shook the small generator.

As the gears accelerated, the light bulbs on the side began to flicker on and off.

At this time, Wang Lang was in a very disturbed mood. In countless experiments, the filament could only be on for a few tens of seconds before breaking, and the best one could only last for about five or six minutes.

Wang Lang concentrated on shaking the handle, staring at the flickering light bulbs intently.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes passed, and the bulb was still shining brightly.

Seeing this, Wang Lang was shocked. Although his arms were a little numb after shaking for a long time, he didn't seem to feel tired at all.

Another ten minutes passed, but the light still existed.

Half an hour later, when Wang Lang's arm was so tired that he could barely lift it, he stopped the experiment.

"Half an hour, turned on for half an hour, I succeeded, finally succeeded."

Wang Lang sat on the ground, crying and laughing like a child, trembling with excitement.

Under this unstable voltage, the bulb can keep on for half an hour, what this means is very clear in Wang Lang's mind.

If it is replaced with a stable voltage, although it is not as good as the electric lights in another world, it will not be a fantasy to illuminate the night.

Half a month after the first electric light appeared, the dragoons rushed to report.

Wang Lang was in a good mood when he heard the news that the expedition team had returned safely.

The return of the expedition team shows that they have found the Australian continent. No matter whether there are dinosaurs or not in that continent, Wang Lang must take it there.

The mainland of China hangs alone overseas, and he is really worried that this is the only place for human beings.

If he guessed correctly, this continent, the earth in another world should have existed before, so why didn't there be a mainland in another world.

The only possibility is that the entire continent has sunk to the bottom of the sea.

For the future of mankind, he must strive for more living space for future generations of mankind.

Although the human race is rare, driven by advanced productivity, he is confident that he can compete with the other two races. This is the power of technology.

Under his own influence, this leading position in technology can last at least for a long time. As long as future generations are not idiots, human beings will not be wiped out by other races.

The success of the lamp and the return of the expedition team made Wang Lang Long Yan very happy, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare to welcome the return of the expedition team with the most solemn etiquette.

The government is preparing for the return of the expedition team, and ordinary people can understand what's going on after a little inquiry.

The young Xia Guo is at the stage of pioneering and enterprising at this time, and the whole country presents a spirit of hard work and enterprising.

Ordinary people don't know what it means to be responsible for the prosperity of the country, but they know that as long as there are new discoveries, they will have many more opportunities to stand out.

Knowing etiquette with sufficient warehouses, Xia Guo basically solved the problem of food and clothing for the people with its rich products.

People who have food in the warehouse and don't panic in their hearts want to pursue a better and more comfortable life. The strong military strength makes Xia Guo an absolute hegemon on the Shenzhou Road. Capturing wild people to open up unknown territories is no longer enough to make achievements. .

And the overseas New World, going there to take risks will be an excellent opportunity to leave a name in history.

Young people have heard stories about the adventures of the older generation in the wild age since they were young. The characters in those stories have become heroes praised by everyone today.

Those people were destined to be remembered by future generations, and now this opportunity appeared in front of me, and the passionate young people seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, looking around for news about the expedition team and the new continent.

Many young people joined forces, paid a large sum of money to the shipyard, rented a sea-going ship, and prepared Yang Fan to go out to sea.

Two months later, the capital was decorated with lanterns and festoons, the streets were spotless, and officials at all levels went out of the city ten miles to welcome the return of the expedition team.

Wang Lang and the densely packed officials and common people behind him looked forward to the official road in the distance.

On the gorgeous car, Fanxing peeled a fruit and handed it to Wang Lang, said with a light smile, "Your Majesty, you have gotten up many times back and forth, the weather is hot, eat wagashi to cool off the heat."

"Warriors are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and they are looking for distant lands. Compared with them, my exposure for a while is nothing." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.
