The Empire State Plaza is brightly lit, and the brightness of electric lights is far superior to candles, kerosene lamps, whale oil lamps and the like. Thousands of electric lights are also installed in the square, making the square as bright as daytime.
Attracting all the people around, more and more people gathered in the square, curiously looking at everything in the square, and everyone widened their eyes. It was really unbelievable that it was so bright.
of lights.
"Young and old men in the capital, this is the great invention of our Prince, the Ming Dynasty, the electric light!"
"Its appearance will illuminate the long dark night, and its appearance will also greatly facilitate our lives and production. Its appearance marks the arrival of a new era."
On the podium in the center of the square, Cao Lan held a tin trumpet and shouted to more and more curious people.
"Now, please enjoy the song and dance program carefully prepared by our electrical company. Bless our great Ming Empire, bless our descendants of Yan and Huang, and wish us a better future!"
As Cao Lan finished speaking, a group of beautiful girl cheerleaders soon appeared on the stage, and the band of musicians next to them also began to play exciting music.
As the melody sounded, the beautiful girls began to dance cheerfully on the stage, and the lights on the stage began to rotate regularly, gathering on one person from time to time, and then quickly separated.
The lights set off the beautiful girl's dance, coupled with the music's embellishment and rendering, immediately attracted the attention of countless people. Under the stage, many young people danced along.
"Not bad, not bad, dancing really well."
Zhu Houzhao, a big pig, looked straight at the beautiful girl dancing on the stage, his eyes shining brightly.
"..."
Liu Jin was speechless. He didn't know how many women he was going to harm. There were so many women at home that they couldn't even take their turn. But outside, he was still flirting with women and was extremely romantic.
Last time I went to Black Earth Province, dozens of European women came back, including princesses, noble ladies, and young girls. It would be nice to get together, so as not to have anyone speak the native dialect.
Zhu Houzhao's mind was on the dancing girl, but Liu Jin was carefully observing the surrounding situation.
More and more people gathered in the square, and soon the entire huge Imperial Plaza was filled with people. Everyone was curious. The square was brightly lit, as bright as day, which naturally attracted a large number of people.
People came to watch.
People looked at the lively square and kept discussing the electric lamp. At the same time, they also consulted the clerk of Daming Electric Company in the square about related matters in detail.
"Ouch~"
"I saw the bright lights here from afar. I thought it was a flood, so I hurried over to see if I could help."
"Who knew there were these strange things? What are these? It's really incredible that they are so bright. They are much brighter than candles, oil lamps and the like."
"This thing is called an electric light. It was invented by His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. It is really very bright."
"Lamp?"
"I know this lamp, but I really don't know what this electric lamp is."
"If you don't know, you can ask the guys at Daming Electrical Company. They will give you detailed answers."
"Let's go, let's go and ask. This looks very good. It would be much brighter if there was an electric light like this in the house."
"Isn't that right? There is an electric lamp like this. It is much better than candles or oil lamps."
Everyone was talking about finding the clerks from Daming Electric Company. They saw that every clerk from the electrical store was very busy at this moment, constantly explaining the advantages and benefits of this electric lamp to the people around them.
"Dear young and old men in the capital, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, girls and boys~"
"Look at it, everyone, this is the light bulb. The bright things you can see are this light bulb."
I saw the clerk taking out light bulbs one by one and handing them to the people around him, asking everyone to take a closer look.
"Isn't this just a glass bottle?"
"Yes, this is glass."
"Brother, brother, please don't knock it. The glass is very thin and brittle. It may break if you knock it. The current price of this light bulb is 2 taels of silver."
When the clerk saw that someone was about to knock on the light bulb, he quickly reminded him.
"Hey, you, 2 taels of silver per light bulb is too expensive."
When the people around him heard this, they all immediately became cautious. Two taels of silver for a light bulb was too expensive.
"This thing is indeed very expensive. Even though it is just a glass shell, the filament inside is very expensive. Moreover, it is very troublesome and difficult to produce such a light bulb, and the output is very low."
The waiter smiled and said, "Look, everyone, please don't knock or throw it around. This thing is valuable, and if the glass is broken, it can easily hurt people."
"Now let me tell you about the principle of this electric light."
"I think many people know about the telegraph and that it uses the principle of electromagnetism to work. The same is true for this electric light."
"We all know that magnetism can generate electricity, and electricity can also generate magnetism, so we use magnetism to generate electricity. For electricity, we need to use conductive materials such as copper and iron wires. When conducting electricity, heat will be generated. When the heat reaches a certain
After a certain amount of time, it will start to shine."
"This is the principle of electric light. It is actually very simple. It uses electricity to make the light bulb shine, thus providing lighting."
"Let me demonstrate it to everyone~"
"We installed the light bulb on the lampshade. The installation is very simple. Look at the threads on the light bulb. You only need to align it and rotate it gently, and it will be installed."
"After it's installed, it doesn't light up now. That's because I haven't powered it on yet. Look at the switch I have here."
"Just press the switch and it will light up immediately."
The clerk from the electrical store said the same thing while gently pressing the switch. Suddenly, the light that had just been installed on the lampshade lit up, and like the surrounding lights, it began to shine.
"Oh~"
The people around were watching and listening. When they saw the lights turn on, they all opened their mouths and felt it was very magical.
"If we don't need to use the light, such as when we are going to sleep, we can gently press the switch and the light will be turned off and it will not light up."
The man turned off the switch again, and the light suddenly stopped working.
"When we need to use the light, we press the switch and it lights up immediately. When we don't use it, we turn it off and it stops lighting up immediately."
"This is very convenient. We can put the switch anywhere, and the switch is very convenient."
"This is something that candles, lamp oil and the like do not have. To light the candle lamp oil, you have to go to the trouble of finding matches, fire sticks, etc. A little moonlight is fine, but if it is a dark night, it will be very inconvenient.
Already."
"But the electric light doesn't work. You can install it on the bedside, reach out and turn it on, and the light will turn on immediately."
"Does anyone want to come over and give it a try?"
Seeing everyone's curious expressions, the clerk casually gestured to an older brother and said, "Brother, do you want to give it a try?"
"How about trying it for free?"
The strong man looked at the man and asked, thinking that the light bulb he just mentioned cost 2 taels of silver.
"No, no, I'm just trying this switch. How much does it cost?"
The guy said with a smile.
"Okay, let me give it a try~"
The strong man felt relieved, and then he pressed the switch timidly and gently, and then withdrew his hand as fast as lightning, as if he was scared, which looked very funny and funny.
As he pressed the switch, the light above the lampshade suddenly lit up, blooming with light.
"Isn't it very simple and convenient?"
The guy asked with a smile.
"It's really quite simple."
The strong man touched his hand, nodded and said.
"Everyone can give it a try. There are many light switches here, and they are all connected to the light bulbs above everyone's heads. You can try it and see how this light works."
"Please rest assured, this does not require money, you can give it a try at will."
As the clerk finished speaking, many curious people around him were also eager to move and began to take turns trying to press the switch button.
"Da~"
With the crisp sound of the switch, the light came on.
"Da~"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the switch, the light went out again.
It is very simple and convenient. Some people also press it back and forth one after another. It feels very interesting, magical and fun.
"Man, how do you install this light?"
"Then, how does it cost?"
Someone asked curiously, this thing looks really good. With this electric lamp, you can do business at night. You no longer need to spend a lot of money to buy oil lamps, whale oil lamps, etc.
The key is convenience.
"The installation of this electric light is more troublesome and requires special transmission lines. At present, our electrical company has also set up lines in the main streets of Beijing. If you install electric lights in these main blocks, you will need to pay an installation fee."
"In addition, you need to buy some wires. You can see that this wire is made of copper on the inside and wrapped in rubber on the outside. Because electricity can cause paralysis, and when the current is too large, you will die from electric shock, so it must be wrapped in rubber. This way
It’s safe.”
"If you want to install this light, you can register with me. At that time, we will arrange for a man to come to your door to install this light for you. In addition, the charge for the light is based on the electricity consumption of the installation. If an ordinary household only turns on the light at night,
If you buy electric lights, it doesn't actually cost much a month, a few hundred cents is enough."
