Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1903, Light Show
"Old Liu, what are you thinking?"

While Liu Jin was staring outside in a daze, Zhu Houzhao's voice suddenly came from behind, which startled Liu Jin.

This thing is getting more and more excessive now.

In the past, at least he would shout a few words from a distance, but now he just ran to his study without saying a word.

hemp egg~
"Your Highness~"

There is no way, it's not okay to be unhappy, but I am a courtier and he is the prince, so I still have to salute respectfully.

"Free ~ free."

"It's almost time. The light show will start soon. Would you like to go and see it?"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, sat down on Liu Jin's desk very casually and said.

He came to look for Liu Jin this time because he wanted Liu Jin to accompany him to the Daming's first light show.

After a long period of preparation, Daming Electric Firm has completed some relevant deployments.

A thermal power station has been established on the side of Daming capital to generate electricity, and power transmission lines have been erected to the main area of ​​the capital.

At the same time, relevant supporting factories such as electric lamp factory, electric wire factory, and switch factory have also been completed and put into operation, basically an industry has been formed, and electric lamps can be officially announced to the outside world.

After all, a lot of money has been invested in it before and after, and it is time to find a way to earn some money back.

This loss-making business cannot last for a long time, only profitable business can last for a long time.

"Light show tonight?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he remembered that a few days ago, Cao Lan, the person in charge of the electrical firm, reported this to him, but he actually forgot about it.

"That's right, didn't Cao Lan tell you about this?"

"The location is right here in the Empire Square."

"Hmph~ I also specially asked people to decorate the imperial father's Qianqing Palace and my East Palace Prince's Mansion. When the lights are turned on, it will definitely feel amazing."

"At that time, the whole world will know that the electric light was invented by the prince."

Zhu Houzhao said with some pride, now he wished that the whole world would know that Zhu Houzhao invented the electric light.

"He told me, and I forgot about it."

"In the future, people will install electric lights in my house. It is still inconvenient to use whale oil and candles. It is more convenient and brighter to use electric lights."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

In the era without electric lights, people were basically created early at night, and ordinary families such as candles and oil lamps were really reluctant to use them all the time.

Even though he has gotten used to all this after traveling, Liu Jin still misses the era of electric lights, which are convenient, bright and safer.

"Go, go, watch the light show."

Zhu Houzhao pulled Liu Jin up and walked outside. The light show is a program that must not be missed, not to mention that it is an electric light invented by himself.

After getting in the car, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao rushed to the Empire Plaza in the new town of the southern district.

Here in the Imperial Square, as the night fell and the cold wind howled, the number of people in the square began to decrease. The bell tower next to it was brightly lit, illuminating the bell tower.

In the past, some kerosene lamps would be lit in the Imperial Plaza for the convenience of everyone playing in the Imperial Plaza. Nowadays, many young people like to play outside later.

Empire Square is a symbolic place in the capital. The surrounding bustling commercial districts and large-scale residential areas have a large population and are very prosperous and lively, so there are many people visiting here almost all the time.

Even though it is winter now and the weather is cold, it still can't hold back the lively people to play here.

The employees of Daming Electric Firm are busy, winding the wires on the trees, buildings, and clock towers in the square, and laying out lines on the ground, preparing for the next light show.

"Brother, what are these things?"

Someone looked at the wires and various styles of light bulbs curiously, and asked in puzzlement.

"These are lights and wires for the light show."

The staff also replied with a smile.

"Lamps, wires?"

"light show?"

"What are these things? I've never heard of them before."

The curious people became puzzled one by one. In the capital city, all kinds of anecdotes and strange things in this world have been seen a lot, and they are all people who have seen the world. The electric lights, light shows and so on are really amazing. I have never heard of it.

"You'll know later, when it gets dark, you can have a wonderful light show."

The staff is smug.

Time is slowly passing by, and the sky is getting darker and darker. In winter, it is already dark early, but the kerosene lamps are not lit as early as in the past in the Imperial Square, which makes many people who came here to play People also find it strange.

Because the people of the electrical firm are constantly advertising and promoting the light show, a large number of curious people began to gather here in the Empire Square.

It was also strange to see the darkness here.

"Didn't you say there is going to be a light show here?"

"Why can't I see a single light?"

"Yeah, I was also attracted by their propaganda, but it's so dark here, what kind of light show is there, isn't it a lie?"

The people who eat melons are talking a lot.

The staff of the electrical firm also stood up and said, everyone, don’t be in a hurry, the time has not waited, and the light show will start immediately when the time comes, and the storage will open everyone’s eyes and surprise.

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao arrived at the Empire Plaza a few minutes before the start of the light show. When they arrived here, a large number of people had gathered here, all of whom came here after seeing the advertisements.

Merchants in the capital often hold some activities. During the activities, the prices are relatively favorable, and various new products are launched, and some will prepare some delicious food, rewards and the like.

In short, it is a place where there are activities, and you will not lose money if you go to join in the fun, so when you hear the advertisement, many people are attracted to it.

"Everyone in the capital, good evening, everyone."

Soon, it was time for the light show to officially start. Cao Lan came out and stepped onto the stage with a smile on his face.

"I am Cao Lan, the general manager of Daming Electric Co., Ltd. This time, our Daming Electric Co., Ltd. is holding a light show here to show everyone an epoch-making technological invention."

"This invention is the electric light. It is the electric light invented by His Royal Highness the Prince of Ming Dynasty. Its appearance will be an epoch-making technology and a great invention."

Cao Lan's words also made Zhu Houzhao, who was watching the excitement, very satisfied, and raised his head slightly, triumphantly.

"What kind of light show, it's pitch black, you should light some lights anyway."

"That's right, the light show, where are your lights?"

"What is this light?"

The surrounding people who eat melons asked questions one after another.

"Everyone, please don't worry~"

"Our light show is about to start."

"Now I announce that the first light show of Ming Dynasty has officially started, light up!"

Following Cao Lan's words, the staff next to him lightly pressed a button.

In an instant, with the passage of electric current, the Empire Square, which was originally dark, suddenly became extremely bright, and various styles of lamps burst into dazzling light.

On the trees in the Imperial Square, on the surrounding buildings, on the clock tower, and on the roads paved with lights, thousands of electric lights bloomed with their own light.

All of a sudden, the originally dark Empire Square became so bright as day, and everything could be seen clearly.

"Wow~"

The large crowd in the Imperial Square couldn't help but gasp in amazement, and all of them stared wide-eyed at everything around them.

Some timid ones even became frightened, looking at the surrounding lights, as if they saw something terrible.

But more people are still deeply shocked by the lights here in the Empire Square.

These electric lights are different from candles, kerosene lamps, whale oil lamps, etc. The electric lights are very commanding and brighter. In addition, thousands of electric lights are arranged. When they are illuminated together, the whole square becomes extremely bright. stand up.

Everyone in the square was dumbfounded, looking at the surrounding electric lights in disbelief.

At the same time, on the roads around the square, in the nearby residential areas and commercial streets.

As the Empire Square became extremely bright, the lines and patterns arranged by the lights, coupled with the arrangement on the trees, etc., made the Empire Square the brightest area at once.

A large number of people around also looked over curiously.

"what happened?"

"Why does the square become so bright?"

"What are those things? They are so bright."

"Go, go, take a look quickly."

Attracted by the lights, a large number of people began to gather around. Even the commercial street was originally the brightest place with the largest flow of people. At night, the business is very hot.

But now, with the countless lights lit up here in the Empire Square, it also attracted people from the commercial district to come to watch the excitement, and as more and more people ran here, it also attracted more people. People come to watch the excitement.

Many people who were originally nestled at home have already fallen asleep, but seeing the brightly lit and bustling Imperial Plaza, they also come out of the bed one after another, regardless of whether it is cold or not, and hurry to join in the fun. See what's going on here at Empire Plaza.

And the people who came to the Empire Plaza were all deeply attracted by the lights arranged here, and each of them opened their mouths wide, unbelievable, and even looked at with some fear.

Looking at the electric lights in front of me, looking at the extremely bright square, my mind is full of doubts, what are these?
