Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1818, Light

Seeing his son Liu Xin leaving happily, Liu Jin also smiled.

I don't know whether it is good or bad to grow up in a family like my own. From birth, he has obtained countless things that ordinary people can't get in a lifetime, but he also faces many things that ordinary people don't have to worry about in their lifetime.

For example, in matters of marriage, he lost the opportunity to fall in love freely, because when he was young, Liu Jin, Zhang Mao, and Zhang Lun made a baby marriage. It is estimated that in a few years, the Zhang family will I want to urge Li Jin to marry the two children, because Zhang Lun's daughter is two years older than Liu Jin, and she is now seventeen years old.

According to the customs of Daming, at the age of sixteen, one can have a family, and if one has not married after the age of eighteen, one is considered a big girl.

Liu Jin obviously didn't want his son to get married too early. Marrying too early would not be good for the child's health. At least he had to wait until he was [-] years old, and it was best to get married after he was [-] years old.

However, it is obviously impossible for the British public Zhang Lun to wait that long. If you wait until you are in your twenties to get married, it will be criticized, and you will be married when you are 20 years old.

Zhang Lun's daughter, I have met before, she is very beautiful, but her temper is a bit strong, mainly because when Zhang Mao was still alive, she was very doting on her. After two generations, Zhang Mao loved his grandson Zhang Lun's children very much.

Liu Jin was a little worried about his son. It is not a good thing to marry a strong wife, let alone the daughter of the British public, and the backstage is tough.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to take concubines in the future. This is a big trouble. Men are mostly philandering.

"Old Liu, old Liu~"

Just when Liu Jin felt sorry for his son's gloomy life in the future, Zhu's thick voice came over.

Soon, Zhu Houzhao walked in with a smile and an excited face.

"I have seen His Royal Highness~"

"No, no~"

"Go, go, go and see my new invention."

Zhu Houzhao pulled Liu Jin up and walked outside, looking extremely excited, as if this time, he had researched something amazing again.

"What did your Highness invent?"

Liu Jin asked while guessing.

Ever since he led an army of [-] troops to sweep Eastern Europe and establish the Black Soil Province, he has not had much interest in military matters. After he came back, he no longer clamored to be a champion or anything, and his interests and hobbies returned again. Scientific research and man-made above.

The affairs here in Shuntian Mansion are basically handed over to the officials of his Prince's Mansion, and he often stays in the laboratory to study all kinds of messy things.

At the same time, they are still creating people at the terrifying speed of being a father several times a month. It is said that the expenditure of the royal family has increased hundreds of times compared to before, all because Zhu Houzhao has too many children now. up.

There are a lot of women here, the key is to be able to give birth. I heard that every night there are a few lucky ones. They are very energetic. There are also all kinds of beauties they collect. There are Han people, those from the vassal states of Korea and Japan, and those from all over the Ming Dynasty. The beauties of the tribe went to Europe and brought back hundreds of beauties from Europe.

There are a lot of women, and a lot of children are born. I don't know the other effects. Anyway, the centripetal force of the various tribes in Daming is much stronger.

Because people from all tribes knew that their tribes were married to the Ming royal family, and the little princes and princesses they gave birth to were all used for publicity, promoting the harmony and friendship among the various tribes within the Ming Dynasty.

Even the Heitu Province, which was only included in Daming not long ago, the locals now know that Princess Liang Zan married the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty and gave birth to the little prince and princess, and the Ming people did not treat them differently.

These have greatly eased the relationship and contradictions among the various tribes within the Ming Dynasty, promoted the integration of the nation, and consolidated the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

This also made Liu Jin sigh. Sometimes marriage is still very effective. It can indeed reduce the conflicts between each other to a large extent and increase mutual understanding, communication and trust.

It's just that the two parties in the marriage are victims. Zhu Houzhao is very tired, after all, there are too many women, it is difficult to take care of them, and Zhu Houzhao is also tired after queuing up and taking turns.

As for the women in Zhu Houzhao's harem, it's even more tragic. Some of the unlucky ones haven't gotten their turn yet, and no one knows or cares about their tears.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao is a hard-working planter. He is not sowing or on the way of sowing. He is more diligent. Although there are more women, the rain and dew are evenly covered, and they can still spread a little bit.

If this can give birth to a prince, it will be something to rely on and worry about.

"You'll find out later."

Zhu Houzhao said pretending to be mysterious, and took Liu Jin into the car and headed for his laboratory in a hurry.

Zhu Houzhao's laboratory is large in scale and covers a large area. It also has complete supporting facilities and a large number of researchers. In later generations, it will be a high-standard laboratory with strong funds, advanced technology and a large number of people.

Entering the laboratory, you can see rooms filled with various mechanical equipment, and you can also see a large number of researchers conducting various experimental studies.

Some are studying machinery, while others are studying electromagnetism. These two fields are the fields that Zhu Houzhao is most interested in, and they are also the fields that he is currently researching with all his strength.

"Old Liu, let me tell you, this time my research will definitely shock you deeply. It must be an epoch-making great invention."

Zhu Houzhao kept bragging about his inventions to Liu Jin. In front of Liu Jin, he was most confident in his various inventions and human-making skills, and he always wanted to brag in front of Liu Jin.

"What the hell is it, it's so mysterious."

Liu Jin just laughed. I guess I've already seen all the things you invented, and there are other things I haven't seen. I haven't seen anything like airplanes, mobile phones, TVs, computers, etc. in later generations.

If you are crazy about inventing something new, I will never see it.

"Hey, you'll know right away."

Zhu Houzhao smiled mysteriously, came to his laboratory, and immediately said to his team: "Get all the experiments ready and start the experiment immediately."

"Yes~"

When these people under his command heard this, they immediately started to get busy.

Then Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin to an experimental device, pointed to a mass of black silk threads in front of him and said, "This is my invention."

"What is this, just a black thread?"

Liu Jin looked at the black silk thread in front of him, very puzzled.

"This is a very useful thing."

Zhu Houzhao chuckled, then looked at the people around him.

"Professor, everything is ready."

"Good~"

"Start the experiment, let Liu Gong, the chief assistant of our cabinet, see our great invention."

Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction. In the School of Mechanical Engineering and in the experiments, Zhu Houzhao liked to be called a professor rather than His Royal Highness.

Just like in the military camp, he likes his subordinates to call him general or marshal or something.

"Yes~"

The people under him hurriedly replied.

Then the people under him quickly got busy, someone drew the curtains, and the whole room instantly became dark.

"What the hell is this going to do?"

Liu Jin looked at their busy appearance, and then looked at the dim room. He was confused and wondered what kind of tricks Zhu Houzhao was trying to play.

Before Liu Jin could figure out the situation, someone next to him began to step on a bicycle-like device. With the operation of the device, a power generator next to it started to generate electricity, and the magnetic field was cut, and there were bursts of whirring sounds.

Soon, in the very middle of the room, a group of red light spots began to light up, and then the red light spots became brighter and brighter, and gradually brightened, thus illuminating the room.

"I'm going~"

Liu Jin looked at the place where the light was coming from, his eyes widened slightly, feeling that he got the light out.

It's really not easy. Electromagnetic technology has been studied for many years, and the telegraph has been released. Only this electric light has been developed for a long time, and it is only now.

The one just now should be the filament, but I don’t know what the filament is made of, whether it is cotton thread, bamboo thread, or metal thread.

Judging from the brightness of this light, it is quite good, several times stronger than the light of a candle, and it is completely enough for lighting.

I don’t know what’s wrong with the lifespan. The lifespan of ordinary materials is very limited, and if it’s directly exposed to the air, the lifespan will be greatly reduced. It should be placed in a vacuum glass, and then filled with air. Inert gas, so that the life is longer.

In an instant, many things came to Liu Jin's mind.

However, Liu Jin's surprised expression was clearly watched by Zhu Hou who was at the side, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"Haha~"

"My invention is amazing. I don't need any oil, and I don't need wood. I can make a lamp, and it's very bright, very bright. This invention is amazing."

Zhu Houzhao laughed happily. In fact, this invention was discovered by accident during the experiment.

When electricity passes through materials with high resistance, it will heat up and turn red, so Zhu Houzhao wondered if he could study it carefully and make something brighter.

For this reason, thousands of experiments have been carried out, and many kinds of materials have been tested. It really allowed him to find a material that can be used to emit light, using electricity to emit light and generate heat.
