Chapter 256: Little Invention
After eating, Li Xi’er asked Feng Qingcheng to take her on a tour of the streets in the city.
She memorized everything she saw on the road in her heart.
Until evening, when stars of lights were lit along both sides of the road, the horse carriage then headed to Yu Qing Palace.
At night, Feng Qingcheng looked at her pitifully, but she ruthlessly closed the door, not allowing him in.
“Junior Brother, don’t be so heartless!”
“Senior Brother, before it was due to circumstances, after all there is gender distinction, now you should just go back to your sleeping palace to sleep!”
“Junior Brother, but… we’ve slept together so many times already, just tonight, can’t it be tonight? Without you, I’ll have insomnia!”
Li Xi’er looked nervous, glanced around, and said in a low voice: “Hmph! Shut up! Feng Qingcheng and I are completely innocent, we have no relationship, don’t make everyone misunderstand!”
“Junior Brother…”
Li Xi’er had a cold face, “You’re about to get married, if you have insomnia then have insomnia, endure a few more days, and you’ll have two wives to accompany you!”
“I beg you!”
“Hmph! The majestic God of War Great General of Feng Lan Kingdom, actually afraid of ghosts, not afraid of people laughing their teeth off if word gets out! How about Junior Brother spreads it for you?”
“Hua Can, you’re so loyal…!”
Feng Qingcheng found it hard to accept, but still turned around unwillingly and headed to his sleeping palace.
“Wait!”
Feng Qingcheng’s eyes lit up with joy, “Junior Brother, have you changed your mind?”
“Changed my mind about what?” She rolled her eyes at him irritably.
“Let me discuss something with you!”
“What is it?”
“That is, I’ll exchange something with you, the condition is, you give me some silver!”
Feng Qingcheng looked at her with interest, “Heh, wanting silver, and you thought of Senior Brother?”
“I’m not asking you for silver for nothing, didn’t you hear? It’s an exchange, exchange! Maybe it’ll make you rich enough to rival a country!”
“Oh?”
“Aren’t you afraid of ghosts? Actually, I can help you improve that along the way!”
“Tell me about it!”
Ghosts are one psychological effect, and two, in ancient times the lighting was poor, those candles would often extinguish due to wind or other reasons, or flicker when wind blew, producing some strange ghostly shadows, making him fearful in his heart!
“I’ve invented an item, this item plus a light bulb can provide long-lasting lighting, this is much more practical than your kerosene lamp!”
“Long-lasting lighting?” Of course Feng Qingcheng understood, but could this be achieved?
“That’s electricity!”
“Electricity?”
That’s right, she was going to be a female Franklin for once, make a small invention, whether in Dongli Kingdom or Feng Lan Kingdom, Si Kingdom, these countries all used candles, kerosene lamps, torches for lighting!
If she could make it, this would be a great benefit to the people, electricity isn’t just for lighting, it can let the country develop to a new stage, this patent would just be sold to Feng Qingcheng!
“You must have noticed too, in our daily lives some energy is produced, like your hair, sometimes suddenly shocking you, that’s static electricity, and there’s lightning in the sky!”
“The thing I make is a small generator, the electricity it produces can make the lamp continuously glow brightly!”
A gleam appeared in Feng Qingcheng’s eyes, “Then could it provide lighting to all the people of our Feng Lan Kingdom?”
“It’s not impossible, but very complex, requires many processes, this isn’t something achieved overnight, at that time you’ll need to find many professionals to research this thing, because improper handling of electricity can kill people!”
Feng Qingcheng nodded solemnly.
“You need to get me a few things, then I can make it, and, don’t let anyone disturb me!”
“Good!”
Li Xi’er told Feng Qingcheng the materials for making the small generator: copper wire, magnet stone, wooden board, saw, iron core, tools similar to wrench, pliers, small iron hammer, get everything that can be provided!
The next few days were spent in closed-door research, the physics experiment for the small generator was learned in high school.
She still had some confidence in making it, therefore, these few days besides eating, she occasionally went out for fresh air and exercise!
