palace.
Man Dynasty and his relatives, maids and eunuchs were all shocked by the light in front of them.
In front of them, the street lamps laid along the Imperial Palace are emitting bright light at this time. Each street lamp lights up a large area, which is far beyond the previous lanterns.
Now the whole palace seemed to them like day.
"Emperor, the power is really amazing. I've lived most of my life. Today I'm looking forward to it. "Although he has seen incandescent lamps, he has never seen such large-scale lighting projects.
Pang Yukun also said excitedly, "Su Liangcai said that electricity is a more effective energy source than steam power. It's true that steam power can't make the street lights shine. Hahaha "
as the person in charge of this power connection, Su Liangcai is slightly relieved. This time, he is under great pressure. The power transmission process is very complicated. As long as one link is not in place, the effect of this evening can not be achieved.
"Naturally, as long as the emperor and the cabinet support the construction of thermal power plants, the power can replace the steam engine very quickly, and it will be more efficient than the steam engine. "
Xiao Ming nodded slightly. Now only Qingzhou has built a thermal power plant in Dayu, and only part of the area is supplied with power, which is still a little behind the second industrial revolution.
It is estimated that it will take 10 or even 20 years for Dayu to enter the electric power era. After all, the crystal stone of science and technology provides knowledge and cannot speed up the construction of the project.
However, what reassures him is that the steam engine industry in Dayu has already spread all over the country. As long as a strong steam industry is established, the transition to the second industrial revolution will be smooth.
After all, although these steam power plants are not as efficient as power plants, they can always provide materials for building thermal power plants and infrastructure.
"After a year, I asked the cabinet to approve another sum of money for your Ministry of electric power. I don't expect the cities outside Qingzhou prefecture to be covered by electric power in a short period of time, but the six states in Qingzhou Prefecture must be electrified as soon as possible, especially Dengzhou, which is an important shipbuilding area of the state of Chongqing. Zhang Liangke has been relying on your electric power to build the first armored ship It's too difficult for shipyards. With electricity, they can use welding technology. " Xiao Ming pondered.
In this naval battle, the armored ships performed amazingly. In the traditional sailing warships, they almost ran all the way, beating the British into despair.
With the expansion of the sea area of Chongqing, he needs more powerful warships to join the navy to fight against the sea power of Europe.
Su Liangcai was overjoyed when he heard that there are too many places in Chongqing that need to spend money, such as railway construction, road and bridge construction, factory construction, etc.
At this time, the ability to deduct a sum of money has demonstrated the importance of the Ministry of electric power.
Pang Yukun and Fiji did not hesitate this time, but nodded directly. They had a general quarrel over the money they used to get out of the cabinet, but now they rarely reach an agreement.
"Thank you, Emperor." Su Liangcai is also a person who is not good at words. He doesn't have any gorgeous words. He just answers in a dull way.
Xiao Ming smiles. What he likes most is upright scientific researchers. It's easy to get along with these people because they often go straight and don't like detours.
He assigned Su Liangcai a new year's task. At this time, Xiao Ming looked at other people. Now they are still immersed in the light.
After clearing his throat, he said, "everyone, Qingzhou City is officially powered. From then on, there will be no darkness in Qingzhou. For this matter, I'd like to celebrate with you tonight. Come and have a banquet. "
after hearing the words, they saluted Xiao Ming and said," thank you, Emperor long en. "
as the voice falls, the officials and maids enter the Fulin hall behind the crowd with the delicious food just baked. The dinner on New Year's Eve is here.
At the same time, the people outside the city are more and more excited. If they had been in the past, they would have come home early, but they are doomed to have no sleep tonight.
After the street lights are on, they don't have to worry about the danger in the night any more, they can play at night, and the businessmen also take the opportunity to sell their goods on the Royal City Avenue.
Performers and opera singers also began to show off their talents. For a time, the Huangcheng Avenue became lively, and the night market appeared for the first time.
In this kind of ecstasy, the common people play to their heart's content, until the palace rings the bell at midnight, the people on the Royal City Avenue gradually return.
At this time, the officials came out of the palace and went back to their own places. Looking at the bright road back, they could not help feeling the rapid changes in the state of Chongqing again.
When the officials left, Xiao Ming, who was half drunk, returned to his bedroom. This year's new year's Eve was the most reassuring night he had ever lived in the world. Finally, he didn't have to worry that he would be awakened by the news of foreign invasion in his sleep.
The next day, he got up early in the morning. According to the rules, the first day of junior high school is the grand meeting of the imperial court. Different from previous years, there are several different faces in the court this year.They were Dutch envoys, Prussian envoys, Korean Envoys and Japanese envoys. After the congratulatory messages from the ministers, they congratulated Xiao Ming on the new year and gave him grand gifts.
Naturally, Xiao Ming is happy to accept that although it is still a long time before he can build a world system, it at least indicates the formation of a new system in Asia. In the next year, this system will be gradually improved, realizing his wild hope that Asia will become the back garden of Chongqing.
After the regular court meeting, Xiao Ming was ready to go back. At this time, his minister left, but the general of the military and aircraft Department stayed.
When the crowd dispersed, Niu Zhen said: "emperor, the last general just received the news from Zhu 34 that the cavalry of Jinzhang Khanate attacked the stronghold from Jianzhou to yakesha, and the cavalry of Jinzhang Khanate also appeared in the direction of nebuchu. Now Zhu 34 is in a passive position. According to the plan, he was going to attack nebuchu, but the cold and heavy snow made it difficult to March, and it was not conducive to the war During the war, soldiers' rifles were often damaged by frost. "
hearing the speech, Xiao Ming rubbed his eyebrows. He thought it would be a happy Spring Festival this year, but he didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven.
"It seems that Jinzhang Khanate is determined to follow tsarist Russia."
Xiao Ming's eyes flashed a little sharp, but now the most important problem is to solve Zhu's logistics problem.
Jinzhang Khanate chose this time to attack the supply line of Dayu state. According to Zhu Sansi, there has been a continuous snowstorm in Guandong in the past month, which makes the difficult supply even worse.
