Myriad Worlds Steals Food, And Queen Chang Sun Falls In Love With Taking Selfies

Chapter 206 Surprised Li Shimin

White wax is a secretion secreted by white wax insects. How much white wax can such a small insect secrete in its lifetime?

How many secretions of these ash bugs need to be collected to make a candle?

So in ancient times, the price of a candle was extremely expensive.

Before the Ming Dynasty, candles were only used by dignitaries and wealthy families. They were absolute luxuries.

How luxurious is this thing?

Kou Zhun, the famous Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, lit a candle in his house's toilet for lighting when he went to the toilet at night. When people found out, he was tricked. Said he was too extravagant. I suspect he has financial problems.

You can imagine that if a prime minister puts a candle in the toilet for lighting all night, it is considered too luxurious. You will know how precious this thing is.

Of course, although candles are better than oil lamps and provide brighter lighting, they do not produce as much smoke as oil lamps, which can hurt your eyes.

But after all, it is an object that is illuminated by fire, so how big can it be?

Moreover, the color of the firelight is more yellow than 30%, and it is still harmful to the eyes to see things under such light for a long time.

But as an emperor, Li Shimin could not finish revising so many memorials during the day, and he had to work overtime at night.

This is the difference between being a wise king and being a foolish king. To be a foolish king, you can spread your hands and I will do it! It is not possible to be a wise king.

At this moment, suddenly a burst of white light came from the door of the hall where Li Shimin was correcting memorials, getting brighter and brighter.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the eunuch announcing: "The Queen has arrived!"

Li Shimin quickly looked up and saw a dazzling white light at the entrance of the hall. Queen Changsun walked in carrying a lamp that no one had ever seen before.

This scene made everyone open their mouths in surprise, and Li Shimin's eyes widened, looking at Queen Changsun's white glass incandescent lamp with an incredible expression.

Then he said in surprise: "After love, what is this?"

"It's so bright. Is this a lamp? Even the lampshade is transparent. Is this the glass lamp of the legendary Great Emperor?"

Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is called electric light."

Then she secretly leaned into Li Shimin's ear and said: "Your Majesty has forgotten my system group. It was given to us by my good friend Du Yu a thousand years later.

"People fourteen hundred years later were using this kind of electric light, and they were using thunder and lightning from the thunder kilometer for lighting.

"That's why it's so bright, like daylight."

This made Li Shimin even more shocked and surprised: "What? Use lightning to illuminate?"

"This is really incredible!"

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "Your Majesty corrects memorials every day, which is very hard! At night, lighting candles for a long time will inevitably hurt your eyes."

"My friend gave me several such lamps, and I specially sent two to His Majesty.

"Someone, bring it here."

I saw two palace maids carrying two lamp posts. These were similar stands made by Empress Changsun according to Du Yu's instructions and based on modern table lamps.

Place these two shelves on both sides of Li Shimin's table, and then install the two lamps on them.

Queen Changsun said: "Your Majesty, look there is a button here. When you press it when you want to use it, it will light up. When you don't want to use it, press it again and it will turn off."

"This kind of lamp likes to bathe in sunlight, and it can convert the light of sunlight into electrical energy."

"So you can carry it out to bask in the sun during the day, so that it can stay bright at night.

"One exposure to the sun can guarantee three days of use."

When Li Shimin heard this, he was very surprised and said to the eunuch beside him: "Have you remembered your queen's instructions?"

At this time, Li Shimin's personal eunuch had also woken up from the surprise and shock, nodded quickly and said: "Remember, Your Majesty.

Empress Changsun then ordered: "In addition, you must be careful when handling it. This thing is made of glass and is very brittle.

"If it falls on the ground, it will be bad." 1

Li Shimin's personal eunuch said quickly: "Yes! Madam, I must pay attention."

After these two lamps were turned on, the surroundings of Li Shimin were illuminated as if they were daylight. When he looked at the memorial again, every word was clearly distinguishable.

No longer do you have to hold the memorial under the candle when you can't see clearly.

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing happily and ordered: "Remove all the candles!"

"This is really a magic lamp!"

Empress Changsun smiled again and said: "I also ordered two such lamps to be installed in His Majesty's bedroom."

"Your Majesty can also use it at night. You don't need to use candles. Not to mention the darkness, it is also troublesome to use.

"Unlike this electric lamp, it lights up with just a push of a button. It's very convenient."

"In addition, there are two lanterns made of electric lamps, which can be carried by the entourage when traveling at night."

"This is much brighter than candlelight."

Li Shimin nodded happily and said, "The queen is so thoughtful!"

At this time, Empress Changsun asked the palace maid to bring up a mini electric fan and put it on the table. When she pressed the button, the fan blades started to rotate, and a cool breeze blew over.

This shocked Li 773 Shimin again, and he was very surprised: "Oh my God, the wind is blowing! What is this? Could it be the Law Weapon used by Uncle Feng?"

Empress Changsun came close to him and said in his ear: "This is also a gift from my future friend Du Yu one thousand four hundred years later. This is called an electric fan."

"People there use this to cool off in the summer."

"He said it is also driven by electricity. I don't know how it is implemented, but the wind comes when you press the button, and the size of the wind can be adjusted.

"Just turn this knob to get a gentle breeze if you want it, or a strong wind if you want it. It's much cooler than the palace maid fanning next to you."

"Similarly, take it out to bask in the sun during the day, and you can keep using it."

"If you want to use it during the day, that's okay. You can ask the palace maid to carry it to me and charge it with the charger, or replace the battery.

"Your Majesty will not be too hot."

"But be careful, don't put your fingers in. The fan blades are made of iron and are extremely sharp.

"If you put your hand in while it's spinning, you might cut off your fingers."

"So it is covered with a net to prevent accidental injury."
