The yard was full of people, and all the senior figures from Xingchen Leader arrived, including Duan Qingshi who was invited and Zhao Danqing who had just rushed back from Minggang City.
"Old man, do you know what Brother Jiang is going to do?" Zhao Danqing approached the old man and asked in a low voice.
"You don't know what kind of virtue Xiao Huntan is? It was not until everyone's appetite was finally announced. How could I know!" The old man replied angrily.
The second brother came over from behind at this time and laughed, "I know what Brother Jiang is going to do!"
"Do you know?" The old man and Zhao Danqing spoke in unison, but their tone was full of questions, and they obviously didn't believe it.
"Of course I know. Yesterday afternoon I heard what Old Man Fu said...how is it? Do you want to know? I promised me a condition and told me...Oh!"
Before the second brother finished speaking, he was slapped by the old man in the back of the head: "Get out, you lost in the chess and card room for an afternoon yesterday, and finally you turned over the table. How could he fool him!"
"How do you know?" The second brother covered his head with a bitter look on his face.
"I kept playing with telescope yesterday afternoon!" The old man raised his head proudly.
"...You old thief? A snoop..."
At this time, the generators of the round table were already arranged in the yard. The researchers then moved in and lifted the small steam engine, then took out a large plate of wires to start assembly.
Soon four light bulbs hung around the yard, and Jiang Xingchen also walked out of the room.
"Today we call everyone to announce good news. The research team led by Xianning has successfully designed the light bulb. This indicates that in the near future, we will bid farewell to the original lighting tools such as torches, candles, and oil lamps, and usher in a new lighting era." Jiang Xingchen said loudly.
"This kid is so pretentious and he has just invented something new. Do you think it's like a speech?" The old man curled his lips very unhappily.
Zhao Danqing and his second brother nodded, agreeing very much with the old man's words. However, judging from their eyes, it was obvious that they were more interested in brand new inventions.
In fact, the old man is the same. He is even more curious. The oil lamp and torch have been used for countless years. What invention can open up a new era of lighting? He saw it when he burned the carbon wire with a generator. Didn’t it also ignite it?
Others also showed an interest, especially Duan Qingshi, who was even more indifferent to the new lighting method. The new lighting method must be related to the construction of the new city.
Jiang Xingchen glanced around and waved his hand. A private soldier immediately went to extinguish all the lanterns in the yard, and the yard became dark. The researcher then lit combustible ice. In a short while, the steam engine began to operate and the crankshaft rotated quickly.
"Buzz~" The crankshaft is connected to the generator's shaker, and the rotor in the middle rotates rapidly. The lights hanging at the four corners of the yard are lit at the same time, illuminating the entire front yard.
"Oh~" a scream, the kitten girl, Mo Hongxian, Wanrou, Xin'er, Ni'er and the others couldn't help but sigh, "It's so bright!"
The old man, Zhao Danqing, and the second brother were stunned. The brightness could catch up with dozens of torches, and it was completely beyond their imagination.
"Swoosh!" The old man rushed to the light bulb, squinted his eyes and looked carefully. The light emitted by the filament made him feel dazzling.
Duan Qingshi was even more surprised. He looked at the generator and the light bulb. The unknown had a great impact on him. This was so amazing. How did the round glass light up.
After the lights were on for a long time, Jiang Xingchen spoke again: "This brand new lighting method will enter thousands of households and all walks of life in the future. Xingchen will understand that it will become a real city that never sleeps..."
The old man turned his head and pointed to the small steam engine and generator in the middle, saying, "Boy, although this thing is good, you can't put a big guy in every place!"
"That's of course!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "This is what I want to say next. To achieve this goal, we need to build a power plant and lay a city power grid. And it's not just Xingchenling, steel plant, curse land, Minggang City, Mingque Island..."
Jiang Xingchen talked about the general plan and called Duan Qingshi, Grandpa Fu and Mei'er into the room.
The others were whispering while walking out.
"With this new lighting, the lighting for the venue performances will be greatly improved in the future, and the effect will be absolutely good!" Wanrou said happily.
"Yes, if this is placed in the restaurant, it will be perfect to improve the layout to a higher level!" Tian Sanqi nodded.
"It's better to put it in the clothing store. Don't worry about this thing catching fire!" The person in charge of Dafulai was very happy. Clothing shops are prohibited from open flames, and usually they have to close at night, especially in winter. If there weren't glass windows, it wouldn't be very bright even during the day.
"The same is true for our jewelry store. Such lights and glass can definitely make porcelain, jade and other things look more shiny..."
People all left, but there were three people in the corner of the yard. They were the old man, Zhao Danqing and his second brother.
"Why are you two not leaving yet?" the old man asked.
"Tsk! Didn't you leave either?" Zhao Danqing curled his lips and suddenly asked, "You can't be..."
The three of them looked at the generator still running in the middle of the yard, looked at each other, and laughed...
In the room, Duan Qingshi seemed very excited. As he imagined, the electric lights were going to enter thousands of households. Not only the buildings in the new city, but all areas of Xingchen led the power. Jiang Xingchen handed over the house renovation project to the Duan family.
After years of development, the strength of the Duan family has been greatly improved, and the number of craftsmen and laborers has increased significantly. Although their main energy is still on the construction of the new city under Xingchen, they are also able to take on other jobs. Before, he wanted to make a move to rebuild Minggang City, but later he gave up because the distance was too far.
Taking on the power grid work not only can Duan’s family make a big profit, but the key is to accumulate experience to be one step ahead. Even fools know that lighting methods such as electric lights will probably be popularized throughout the mainland and even overseas in the future. Having construction experience is equivalent to leading all construction colleagues. It is really important for the Duan family.
After confirming his intention, Duan Qingshi stood up and said goodbye, leaving excitedly. He wanted to go back and tell the others in the family the good news.
Jiang Xingchen said to Mei'er and Grandpa Fu in the room: "We want to develop rapidly now, and there is a problem that must be solved. It is personnel!"
"There is not enough staff now!" Grandpa Fu nodded in agreement. It was really difficult for his dozens of people in his financial department to take into account all major regions.
"Mei'er, you can send the message to the outside world immediately and recruit another group of people!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Do you still need to call laborers? The power grid is just a preliminary preparation. At least you have to wait until Sister Xianning has the exact experimental results. It's too early to recruit it now?" Mei'er shook her head.
"It's not about gathering labor, this time it's about recruiting senior talents..."
Not long after, Grandpa Fu frowned and left, keeping his head down and muttering something.
The old man saw Grandpa Fu going out in the corner, ran to the house in two steps, pushed the door and walked in! (~^~)
