Chapter 157 Electric Lights

"Is this the electric light you made?" Looking at the electric light, Jiayi was a little excited.

This is a round light bulb with a small bulb at the top, and the light bulb is installed on a lamp holder and placed on the table, like a small oil lamp, just changing the head to a light bulb.

Queenie gently picked up the light, and a wire was trained under the lamp holder, but it was not insulated. The wire was exposed outside. She lowered the light and said, "Try it, why don't it light it up?"

"Take me and open it for you to show it."

Fesden walked to the side, closed the switch, and the filament in the center of the light immediately turned red, and then a dim light emitted, not particularly bright, but illuminated the entire room.

This is an office on the radio station, with a large area. The light bulb also looks like an incandescent lamp with about 25 watts.

Fessendon introduced on the side: "This is the light bulb we made, which uses electricity as energy. The internal vacuum is the carbon wire in the middle. It turns red and shiny when powered on. We tried it and it can light up for more than 40 hours in a row. If you save points, a light bulb can be used for nearly a month. We made the light bulb into a spiral pattern interface that can be replaced, and the light bulb can be replaced directly."

As he said that, he frowned: "But the time for use is still a bit short. Although there is no need to change the magic stone, you have to change the light bulb frequently, and the brightness is not enough. If the brightness is increased, the life of the light bulb will be a little shorter."

Jiayi was already very satisfied and said in admiration: "I didn't expect that you could make the electric light in such a short time. It would be no problem to improve it to a hundred hours. It's enough. There is room for improvement. If you can choose a more high-temperature resistant filament, the lifespan will be longer. But there is only one thing, your wires are a bit too rough. Will you not be accidentally electric without adding an insulation layer?"

He looked at Fesden with some admiration, but he didn't expect that the other party was so talented about invention, and could invent the electric light so quickly in the gap between building a radio station. Moreover, the electric lights are now relatively complete, and the improvement generation is not much different from modern incandescent lamps.

"What's the matter? Being electric is just a little numbing. It's much safer than learning electromagnetic spells." Fesden said that this is not a problem. Everyone here is a mage. This current is completely safe. "But, is this electric light really useful? Compared to the magic light, the light of this electric light is too dim and yellow. The light bulb of the magic light is much brighter and closer to sunlight."

Before Jiayi could answer, Queenie said on the side: "I don't think this is a problem. There are few people who can afford magic lamps. Once it's dark, there are not even merchants who open shops to do business on the streets. The lights do not require magic materials, so the price should be reduced a lot, right?"

Fesden said: "This is true. The price of an electric lamp is less than one-tenth of that of a magic lamp, and it can be even lower, and the price used is also lower. I calculated that a magic stone can be used for more than a month, and it costs more than 10 gold coins, while an incandescent lamp only needs about 8 silver coins."

The price of this use is already more than 10 times cheaper than that of magic lamps. Even if the cost of replacing the lamp is much lower than that of magic lamps. Moreover, with the improvement of production and supporting facilities, the cost can be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to reduce the cost of magic lamps.

In terms of labor costs, making magic lamps requires magicians to take action, at least they are senior mage apprentices, but electric lamps only require ordinary people who have been trained. The gap in labor costs is also huge, and the cost gap between the two is even larger afterwards.

But there is one bad thing about electric lights, which is that they need to build power plants and lay lines, and the early costs are not low.

Wilmot was just listening on the side, and then spoke: "This electric light is really good. If the cost can be reduced a little, I can make the decision to promote it throughout Mosacher, replace all the street lights in Mosacher and replace them with electric lights."

"Really?" Jiayi looked at Wilmot with some excitement, and unexpectedly he was so supportive of the electric light.

Although the electric light was invented by Fesden and his team and had little to do with Jiayi, it was his idea after all, and I felt very happy to see it being able to promote it.

Fessendon's face did not change much. It was obvious that he had known this news for a long time. It was normal to count that Fessendon and Wilmot are now considered their own people. Although the electric light was invented by Fessendon, if we want to calculate, the ownership of the electric light should belong to the Supreme Council, because they are now considered to be the teams hired by the Supreme Council.

No wonder Wilmot gave such great support.

Jiayi only has one suggestion, which is to put insulating leather on the wire, especially where people can touch it.

Looking at Jiayi and the others, Wilmot said: "Of course, the invention of electric lights cannot be separated from you two. If you really promote it, you will not forget yours. Jiayi, you seem to be very interested in the popularization of magic props? I have known your chamber of commerce, and almost all the equipment is aimed at ordinary people and tends to be lifelike."

Jia nodded and said, "Yes, I tend to make magic props livelier and make it possible for everyone to use. Although this is almost impossible, I also hope that magic will not continue to maintain that mysterious feeling. The separation from ordinary society is too serious. Many people now have a prejudice against mages, and they think that mages will eat the hearts and hearts of children and keep young. If you can use magic props to make ordinary people understand mages better, it will be very beneficial to break through the barriers between the two sides. And selling things to ordinary people can make more money, the number of mages, and how many ordinary people have. If everyone buys one of their own things, even if the profit is only one percent, or even one thousand, the wealth gathered from it will be amazing."

What he said was a bit too ideal. In fact, with the communication level in this era, it is not easier to do business in the whole world than to become a legendary wizard, but it is only theoretically possible. Perhaps after he becomes a legendary wizard, he can almost live for another thousand years.

"Wow, your wish is great. It would be great if you could sell the lights to everyone in Moshache."

Wilmot looked at Jiayi with a joke. Even if it was an electric light, Mosacher could not be used by everyone at this time.

Jiayi also smiled: "Is it ideal? Of course it must be bigger and more difficult, otherwise it will be ideal."

He raised his posture, straightened his chest and abdomen, and raised his right hand on his chest: "I have a dream..."

Suddenly, his posture collapsed and he said, "Forget it, I don't have any dreams."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone was amused by Kazui's appearance.

Wilmott said: "The separation between mages and ordinary people is not only because of the arrogance of mages, but more because of the fuel caused by various kingdoms. They do not want mages to participate too much in the internal affairs of the country, so they deliberately create this state of separatism."

Kaichi actually knew that he did not have any ability to change this situation, at least he did not have such ability now.

Fesden looked at Jiayi with some admiration: "I didn't expect that Jiayi, you have such ambitions. Maybe someone like you always brings up so many wonderful ideas. I will definitely improve the lights and strive to bring them to every family in Mosacher as soon as possible."

He didn't dare to say far, he only dared to popularize electric lights in Mosacher. At present, only Mosacher has the foundation to popularize electric lights.

"How is the broadcast now? When will it be broadcasted?"

Fesden said: "The construction part has been completed, and the trial is underway. We will be piloting for two hours late at night every day. If you are interested, you can listen to it and give me some comments. The program is now almost ready. The radio starts at noon, first with news, then with music in the afternoon, and read programs, then with evening news, the latest paper abstract speed reading, then with opera, and then with storytelling. These programs are the main settings."

Their program was not full, and they didn't even have enough time for a whole day, but there was no way. Not only them, but even Jiayi didn't have much experience. Radio was already lonely during his growth stage. When he was a child, he could still hear news broadcasts at noon and at night in the countryside. When he grew up, he could basically not hear other radios except in-car radio.

He can talk about it in general, and if he wants to talk about it in detail, there is no way to start.

"Forget it, I can't give you any experience. You have been busy all the time. I'll notify me when the official broadcast starts and I'll listen on time."

"Sure, we will advertise through the telegram public channels and newspapers at that time," Wilmott said.
