Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1069

[Chapter 1069 Bright]

The sun turns from bright to dim.

Evening came.

Zhao Xu arrived in front of the Yancheng thermal power plant on time together with the cabinet ministers, generals of the Defense Department and other important court officials.

At this time, it was decorated extremely gorgeously.

Both sides of the gate of the power plant are covered with flowers, and the ground is covered with a red carpet.

A red brocade belt seals the gate, and in the middle of the brocade belt are tied big red flowers.

Wang Chong, Li Wei and other personnel from the Research Institute are already waiting in front of the door.

Seeing Zhao Xu, the two immediately stepped forward, led Zhao Xu to the gate of the thermal power plant, and raised the red ribbon to let Zhao Xu pass. . .

The cabinet ministers also passed through one by one, and lined up beside Zhao Xu.

Other ministers stood outside the door, waiting for Zhao Xu to cut the ribbon for the thermal power plant.

“Why are the common people not interested in such an important day?” Liu Fu asked, standing still beside Zhao Xu.

He looked ahead, not many people gathered.

“You’re confused, the people are all waiting for the lights to turn on at home, so there’s no time to come here to join in the fun.” Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Liu Fu was stunned for a moment before laughing dumbly, “Your Majesty is right, I’m really confused. If that’s the case, why not cut the ribbon earlier so that the people can get what they want. I also want to go home and see how the lights turn on.”

Mi Yan stood on the right side of Liu Fu, and heard the words, “Liu Shoufu is really confused. Tonight, the emperor held a banquet in Wuji Palace. Can you go back if you are not drunk?” After

his words fell, Zhu Tuo, Ma Yuan and others People laughed.

Liu Fu slapped his head and laughed at himself, “Look at my brain, I can only say that this matter is too exciting to turn around.”

Zhao Xu smiled lightly, Liu Fu and other ministers followed him He walked over step by step.

They witnessed the steam industry firsthand.

I have a deep memory of the changes that the steam industry brought to Yancheng.

Today, an electric power industry stronger than the steam industry is born.

It was impossible to say that they were not excited at that time.

After all, it was only the steam industry that allowed them to use Yanzhou to level up the powerful clan and defeat Beidi, and they still have an advantage in the war with the Western natives.

If the steam industry is all transformed into the electric power industry, wouldn’t Dasong in the future have to soar into the sky and create a prosperous age that they dare not even imagine.

And as participants in forging this prosperous age, they will inevitably leave a strong mark in the history books.

Of course, they don’t just care about these false names.

What they want more is to go through this era and see with their own eyes how powerful Da Song can be.

“Even if the people are anxious, you are also anxious, so don’t waste time, cut the ribbon immediately.” Zhao Xu said with a smile at this time.

When everyone heard this, they all laughed heartily.

In fact, cutting the ribbon is just a symbolic etiquette.

But this etiquette has to be done, otherwise it will appear too deserted.

After all, even if the folks move to a new house, there is still a lot of excitement about having a baby.

So, since it’s done, let’s cut it symbolically and win a lottery.

After Zhao Xu said that, Wang Chong immediately asked for scissors.

Everyone stood up in order, took the scissors, and put the edge of the knife on the brocade belt.

Zhao Heng is in the middle, Zhao Xu is beside Zhao Heng, and other ministers are beside them.

At this moment, Li Wei personally lit the firecrackers again, and they exploded with loud bangs.

Immediately amidst the sound of firecrackers, everyone cut the ribbons together.

The ministers and people who were watching immediately burst into cheers.

But then they looked at the thermal power plant, waiting for the electricity to be delivered.

Obviously, everyone’s attention is not on the ribbon-cutting, but they are all looking forward to the brightening of Yancheng.

“Li Wei, it’s up to you next.” Zhao Xu felt the same as the others.

Looking at Li Wei, his eyes were full of expectation.

He misses electricity so much. After all, he came from the era when electricity was widely used.

For the application of electricity, he naturally knows better than anyone else.

“Your Majesty, please wait for a while, Yancheng will be lit soon.” Li Wei looked confident.

At this time, the sky is getting darker and darker, like diluted ink.

After saying these few words, Li Wei entered the thermal power plant.

Before the ribbon was cut, the thermal power plant was already in operation.

Coal is burning in the boiler, which heats the water into steam.

When he got to the power distribution room of the thermal power plant, the steam produced by the boiler was enough to drive the steam engine.

These steam engines in turn drove generators, which produced electricity.

At the same time, the twenty-four generating sets of the power plant were running.

These generator sets are not temporary small generator sets in the workshop, but are composed of large steam engines and generators.

When the power plant technician in charge of the generating units reported to him that everything was operating normally, he ordered to close the disconnector between the thermal power plant and the power grid.

As long as the switch is turned on, the electricity from the power plant can be sent out through the grid they built during this period, and Yancheng will be officially powered on.

At his order, technicians already waiting near the disconnect switch closed the switch.

For a moment, lightning flashed, and then Yancheng to the east of the power plant lit up.

Looking from the power plant, Yancheng is no longer pitch black, but has a yellow-orange background.

It’s like a fire is burning in the city.

“It’s bright, it’s bright!”

The moment the isolation switch was closed, the ministers in front of the power plant cheered.

Many people raised their heads and looked at Yancheng, which was more than ten miles away from the power plant.

They can’t wait to go back to their home in Yancheng and experience the light brought by electricity.

Seeing that the ministers were so excited, Zhao Xu said suddenly, “Forget it, we can have the celebration banquet another day. You go back and experience it.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Liu Fu and other ministers were overjoyed.

Zhao Xu ignored them and went straight to Yancheng.

He also wanted to see the current state of Wuji Palace.

When Zhao Xu returned to Yancheng, the whole Yancheng had turned into a sea of joy.

The whole city was filled with the shouts of the common people, “It’s on, it’s on.”

The urchins danced and screamed in the house, fled from one house to another, sharing their joy.

At first, the adults looked at the incandescent lamp at home and were shocked.

It was the first time that they had relied on candles and oil lamps since ancient times to see incandescent lamps that could illuminate the house as if it were daytime.

One can imagine how novel they are.

Afterwards, they couldn’t help but came out to the street and had lively discussions with the neighbors, their excitement was beyond words.

“It’s amazing, is this electricity? If you can see this thing in this life, you will die in peace.” An old man had tears in his eyes.

Over seventy years old, he had suffered too much in Yanzhou before coming to Yanzhou.

After the king of Yan came, they first had land, and they could eat and wear clothes. Then, there were many workshops in Yanzhou, which gave them a place to make money.

Now they still have such a miraculous thing to enjoy.

This makes him not excited, how not emotional!
