Chapter 189 Little Golden Retriever, your good luck card has finally expired (page 12)
The light bulbs emitted light and heat, and the light illuminated the entire conference hall as bright as day.
Roy stood up from his seat and walked closer to the light bulb. The light above made it impossible for him to stare at it for a long time.
"You said, this is powered by electricity?"
Looking away and looking at Wynward, he couldn't help but ask.
Electricity was no stranger to anyone present.
Whether it is from thunderstorms, or from some Warcraft, mages, etc., we all have a certain understanding of it.
However, in people's minds, anything related to electricity is inaccessible and very dangerous.
People have a natural taboo against this kind of power.
The last time the scientific research institute tried to control the power of thunder, they made a long needle that could attract thunder and lightning, and two people died because of it.
This incident was not that far away today, and those present still have an impression of it.
At that time, wasn't research on thunder and lightning in scientific research institutes banned?
This is also the most discussed issue among the ministers present at this moment.
In the face of the discussion, Wenhuade's expression remained unchanged and he replied to Roy: "Yes, this thing is called a light bulb. It is a lighting thing. It is more convenient than torches and candles. You only need to press a switch." Can."
As he spoke, Wynward walked towards the door, stretched out his hand and pulled on a string that had hung down at some point.
People vaguely heard a 'click' sound, and with a snap, the lights in the room went out instantly.
There was another 'click' and the light bulb came on again.
Seeing this scene, many people present felt miraculous.
If you pull it, it will light up, and if you pull it again, it will darken. If this is the case, it is indeed more convenient than torches and fire lanterns.
At this time, another person stood up at the octagonal table. His focus was not on the light bulb. He looked at Wen HuaDe and said, "Why is the Research Institute privately conducting research on electricity?"
The person who said this was another noble representative, Qiao Xi.
His eyes were slightly doubtful at this moment.
At this time, Jiawen III, who was sitting on the main seat, said: "I allowed it."
After the words fell, Qiao Xi asked no more questions.
In fact, everyone present also guessed this.
The fact that Wynward dared to display this light bulb in the conference hall already explains a lot.
At this time, Tourt frowned and said: "Although I don't know why your Majesty has lifted the ban on the Scientific Research Institute, I still object to it. The Scientific Research Institute continues to study. Have you all forgotten the tragedy two years ago?"
Wenhua De said: "If this is the case, when will Debon's scientific research level improve?"
Tourte continued: "In my opinion, there are still many directions for scientific research. Why study electricity specifically? With such a dangerous element, if you are not careful when contacting it, something will happen."
"Research on electricity is a path that must be taken on the road of scientific research. It is not a question of whether something will happen. If no one will ever get involved, then Debon's scientific research will never progress."
Wenhua De said in a determined tone, and then he spoke again: "Furthermore, why should we give up scientific research that is truly convenient for the people? The research and development and improvement of electricity will be of great convenience to the future of Germany!"
The ministers present began to discuss quietly.
Their factions are basically divided into two types.
One is to support the scientific research institute. They believe that if the scientific research institute can successfully control the use of electricity, then this will indeed be a breakthrough.
The other part is the conservatives.
In their stubborn belief, electricity is extremely dangerous, and it is better to avoid it than to bear the risk.
Demacia has not developed electricity for hundreds of years, but isn't it still standing on Runeterra?
Just like before, it's good.
As the discussion continued, Wenhuade spoke again: "I know you still have questions in your mind at this moment. Next, I will give a simple example. Maybe after listening to it, your ideas will change."
As he spoke, the conference hall became quiet again.
"Take this light bulb as an example. The lighting tools used in all homes in Germany today are still fire lamps, oil lamps, fire candles, etc. The flammability time of fire lamps and fire candles is only one night, about ten hours, and oil lamps can last twenty hours."
"But the light bulb lasts for at least a hundred hours, and the two batteries that power it cost only twice as much as an oil lamp."
A simple conversion shows that even two oil lamps can only illuminate for forty hours.
Under the same circumstances, two batteries can illuminate for a hundred hours.
After such a comparison, it is clear at a glance that there is a difference of 60 hours.
People present started talking when they heard this data.
No matter anything, economy is always at the top of the list. If two batteries can illuminate for a hundred hours, but the cost is five or even ten times that of an oil lamp, then what is the point of developing it?
There are many places waiting for money, why should you study such a thing?
But now, the price of an electric light bulb that can emit such a strong light is far lower than that of an oil lamp, which is amazing.
Wynward continued: "Moreover, the battery can be recycled. The wick in the light bulb, called tungsten filament, is a special material that can be maintained under strong light for at least three hundred hours before it is damaged. ."
One light bulb lasts for fifteen days, during which time the batteries only need to be replaced three times, which is the price of six oil lamps.
Six oil lamps, however, can only provide light for one hundred and twenty hours.
Moreover, batteries can also be recycled.
Such a clearly visible gap immediately made the eyes of many ministers present light up.
Especially the treasury representative, Roy.
He was the fastest at calculating accounts, and he immediately discovered how much money would be left in it.
Even Tiana, who had known it earlier, was slightly shocked after hearing the detailed data.
If that's the case, it's not as simple as a little money.
The most important thing is that the research institute's research on electric lights is still in its infancy.
If we continue to research and develop in the future, there will definitely be improvements, with longer lighting duration and lower cost.
Even Tourt, who objected at first, fell silent after listening.
He didn't expect that the price of this light bulb, which would illuminate the entire house, would be so low.
Looking at it this way, the emergence of this light bulb is indeed a hugely beneficial and convenient invention.
It was convenient, cost-effective, and useful. Suddenly, the ministers could not find any reason to object.
Looking at the expressions of the ministers present, Wenhuade continued: "Moreover, this is only the initial stage. In the next six months, I am confident that the cost of light bulbs can be reduced by another third."
The words fell.
After some discussion, it was finally decided.
Light bulbs can become widespread.
Lu Qi watched for a long time and was not too surprised when he saw that the matter was finally settled.
