Chapter 109 Tungsten Filament Lamp
In autumn, the swallows have already flown south, and the town is covered with golden fallen leaves.
Large fields of golden wheat ears were harvested into grains and laid out on the ground to dry.
For a moment, the town was filled with the golden colors of autumn harvest.
In the mission hall, several recruitment notices appeared:
[Recruiting a group of senior blacksmiths (preferably with a background in chemistry) to design a lightbulb that glows. 100 copper coins/day, three meals a day, and a hand warmer for winter. A share of the rewards will be shared after the task is completed.]
We are purchasing large quantities of coal, tungsten alloy wire, glass covers and other products. We are supplying them in unlimited quantities.
As soon as the news came out, it sparked a heated discussion among the townspeople: "What are you doing, sir? I don't understand what this is for."
"Never mind, it's definitely going to benefit us! We just have to wait for the store to open!"
"Am I the only one feeling this way? I never thought that chemistry class would actually come in handy. Ugh, I'm already level 45 in forging, and I'm stuck at my chemistry skills!"
"Don't be so naive! Back then, when Lord Lin was trying so hard to popularize physics and chemistry, you didn't even bother studying. You said, 'There's no money to be made in this stuff, so why learn it?' Well, now it's too late to regret it!"
"Alas, I'm just afraid of being poor. From now on, I will definitely study hard and not look down on these things."
“…”
After reading the recruitment notice, a group of townspeople responded enthusiastically and were eager to try. A group of townspeople wanted to go, but then they realized that they had too much work to do during the autumn harvest at home, so they gave up.
In the end, a large number of people appeared on the registration list.
Three days later, the applicant came to the lord's hall to pay a visit to Lin Muqiu.
Almost all the people inside are adults, but there are also a few students.
When these people met, there was a strong sense of tension and hostility towards each other, and they were bound to fight for this position.
However, when Lidya Su saw Lin Muqiu, her eyes lit up and she ran to Lin Muqiu, "Master Lin?"
Lin Muqiu hugged her and patted her shoulder with a smile.
Isn’t this the one who won the forging competition with Imperial Capital Academy?
The other craftsmen gritted their teeth when they saw this scene.
Never mind, he’s just a kid, how powerful can he be?
After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Lin Muqiu got down to business.
She showed them the design she had drawn, and the blacksmiths looked at it with deep frowns.
Only Su Li was surprised after seeing it. "Isn't this a tungsten filament lamp? It's mentioned in the popular knowledge of chemistry class at the Civilian Academy."
Lin Muqiu just smiled gently and rubbed her head. "Are you afraid that you can't do it? Don't worry, I will coordinate the overall situation."
"No, sir." Su Li shook her head, "The main reason is that I have already made it."
Lin Muqiu:?
Other craftsmen:?
Su Li smiled and said, "When electric current passes through the tungsten filament, its temperature rises to over 2,000 degrees, and it can emit light. The principle is not too difficult, so I tried it myself."
Then, Su Li went home and got her invention.
Everyone couldn't help but come closer to take a look.
Inside the cover is a brand new, delicate and exquisite tungsten filament lamp wick, and the bulb cover is round, like a cute balloon.
The craftsmen fell silent.
Most of them learned some chemistry in a hurry in order to apply for a job, which was similar to cramming for an exam.
This is fundamentally different from Su Li's serious and down-to-earth learning.
So if we ask them to state the detailed knowledge points now, they won’t be able to do it.
"What's wrong?" Su Li was puzzled.
Lin Muqiu, on the other hand, curled his lips. "I just didn't expect anyone would actually study this knowledge seriously. Although the Civilian Academy has established some new professions and disciplines, these skills can't be profited immediately like hunting, medicine, cooking, etc., so few people study them."
Su Li slapped her head and suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's how it is. My Lord, I'm not learning it for any other reason, I just think these subjects are very interesting. For example, making nitrogen in light bulbs, using fruit to generate electricity, etc. That ideal world... is very exciting."
Lin Muqiu was silent for a long time.
Sure enough, only a child would try various inventions and learn a lot of knowledge without considering the pros and cons, simply for the sake of love and curiosity.
In other words, most adults were once children, but they have lost their curiosity.
However, many times, civilization is driven by these people who simply love another world.
Some blacksmiths sensed something and remained silent for a long time.
Shame washed over them, turning their ears red.
After living for so long, they are still worse than a child!
A few blacksmiths also stood up and expressed their dissatisfaction, saying, "Sir, what good is this? What can a childish invention do?"
Lin Muqiu smiled and replied, "Your question is equivalent to asking me to answer, what can a baby do when it is just born?"
Under everyone's gaze, she picked up the electric magic stone and handed it to Su Li.
Su Li took it and nodded seriously. With a snap of her fingers, the tungsten filament in the lamp was swept by the current and the light came on.
She is not a magician, but she can still emit beautiful lights.
Everyone was shocked.
Before this, they never understood that energy could be transformed into each other.
In their minds, electrical energy is electrical energy, thermal energy is thermal energy, and light energy is light energy.
Just like electric mages and fire mages cannot communicate with each other, just like sunlight is the only source of light, eternal and unchanging.
However, the warm orange light in the tungsten filament lamp, like a candle, like a torch, like the road ahead, illuminates the entire room.
The light and shadow were more beautiful than any light and shadow they had ever seen in their lives.
This is a miracle!
Just like what Lin Muqiu told them the first time.
Even if you have no talent, you can still change the world.
They suddenly knelt on one knee, "My lord, please allow me to give you my most sincere praise! You are the greatest lord in the world!"
Lin Muqiu hurriedly helped him up: "There's no need to pour it out."
The townspeople in this world praised her all the time, and she felt really embarrassed.
After all, we are just looking at the world from the shoulders of giants.
*
Within just a few days, the tungsten lamp incident spread throughout the streets and alleys.
After returning home, the craftsmen described this great invention in detail to their wives and children.
The wife and children chatted with people on the streets, telling them that their husbands had learned the greatest technology in the world.
The neighbors were very surprised when they heard this, and they flocked to the Civilian College to re-study chemistry and physics.
Suddenly, the academy became popular again and a fever for knowledge swept through the town.
Many people try to make a light bulb for their home and then buy an electrical magic stone to play with it.
The electric mage followed the textbook again, trying to convert his energy into other forms of energy such as wind energy and thermal energy.
A wave of invention swept through the town.
The autumn harvest season is not just about the harvest of grain.
*
While everyone was busy absorbing new knowledge, Yun Yi was also busy as hell.
These days, he is busy helping the Civilian College enter data.
He was numb, really numb. He even had to copy all the modern e-book data and put it into the simulation training room. He was so exhausted!
Especially since that little system was still nagging in his ear, "You can't do this! You're a dignified system master, how can you follow someone around all day and help her with work like a little follower?"
"Oh," Yun Yi transformed into a ball of data and turned into a pink heart shape. "It's okay. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters."
Small system: “…”
If you do this again, I will really call the police.
The small system hesitated for a long time before speaking. "Yun Yi, you are part of the data of the noble Lord God. You shouldn't be like this. Data is selfless and emotionless. It is the creator of heaven and earth and should not favor anyone."
Yun Yi was silent. "But from the very beginning, the Lord God has been very partial to the Master."
Otherwise, Lin Muqiu would not have been loaded into this world.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given it to Lin Muqiu as a gift.
"You..." The little system was speechless and started crying.
So it's the only one without a background, right?
Why bully a leader? It’s not fair!

As the autumn harvest approaches, the days become shorter and shorter.
The time when the sun sets is also getting earlier and earlier.
A hunting party had just killed a bison, but they couldn't help sighing.
It's because they already have an extra buff:
[Night debuff: Your spirit value is rapidly decreasing
illustrate:
1. When in the city, the spirit value will decrease more slowly.
2. When you get close to a fire, your spirit value will decrease more slowly. The bigger the fire, the stronger the slowing effect.
One archer took one look and couldn't help complaining, "How annoying! The sun sets after 4:00. How can we hunt?"
As he said this, he was about to reach out and drag the buffalo's leg away.
Alex and Lind stopped him immediately: "Forget about that, let's go back and start a fire! Our spirits will drop very quickly if we're not in the city!"
As soon as the voice fell, the system sent a reminder:
[Your spirit value has decreased by 1. Please take precautions in time, otherwise something bad will happen.]
The rest of the team members immediately lit their torches and anxiously clamored to go back.
From experience, they knew that they were safe only in the city and with a bonfire.
Especially recently there have been frequent thunderstorms. What if it rains?
The archers looked at the bison reluctantly, feeling extremely distressed, but still followed the main group.
However, he was walking behind the main group, and the more he thought about it, the more distressed he felt.
That was a prey that we had to work very hard to catch. Are we just going to give up like that?
If we come back tomorrow, the bison will definitely have been taken away by other wild animals.
But winter is coming, and the wild animals will soon hibernate, so there will definitely not be many wild animals left.
He only has these remaining ten days to seize the opportunity to stock up on food.
A bold idea came to mind:
If he secretly dragged the bison back, wouldn't the bison be all his?
Whether it is cowhide, beef, or cow liver, they are all good things, how much can they be sold for!
Besides, the mental value doesn’t drop that fast, right?
He muttered to himself and walked slowly.
Fortunately, the surrounding team members did not notice and just kept running forward.
He gritted his teeth, and after the team members walked away, he ran madly in the opposite direction.
Be sure to be quick!
Once you are separated from the main group, there are fewer torches, which means less light source, and your spirit value will drop faster!
Sure enough, the system sent out reminders like a sudden storm, crackling:
[Your spirit value is reduced by 1, please protect yourself in time! ]
[Your spirit value is reduced by 1, please protect yourself in time! ]
[Your spirit value is reduced by 1, please protect yourself in time! ]
【……】
However, once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back.
He ran all the way and finally reached the buffalo's carcass.
Lifting the bison, he dragged it back with all his might.
However, the dim torchlight was not clear, and suddenly, he seemed to see the bull's eyes move.
With a snap, the buffalo's leg hit the ground and he fell to the ground in fright.
No, no, no, this is not true, this is because of my declining spirit value. He comforted himself, stood up again, tried not to look at the bison, and hurriedly continued to run.
However, this time, he felt pain on his hands, like ant bites or needle pricks, which made him feel both painful and itchy, and extremely unbearable.
After dragging it for another twenty or thirty meters, he found that he could no longer hold anything with his hands.
Oh my god! How could my spirit value drop so quickly?
[Your spirit value has decreased by 3, please protect yourself in time! ]
[Your spirit value has decreased by 5, please protect yourself in time! ]
Your mental state is decreasing significantly. You are now debuffed and experiencing hallucinations. Damage to your body will affect your body. Please quickly reach a designated safe area!
【……】
The red writing became darker and darker, and he felt so painful that he was dizzy.
He had no choice but to use torches to light the surrounding trees.
The firelight suddenly lit up, and the blazing flames were reflected in his pupils. Only then did he feel that his spirit value was decreasing slowly.
However, it is still not enough, it is still decreasing, falling down desperately.
He panicked, put down the bison, and ran towards Ankang Town desperately.
It's over, everything is over.
He shouldn't be greedy.
Fatigue and pain almost made him close his eyes. He was so sleepy, so sleepy, his eyelids kept fighting each other, and the pain almost devoured his mind like a raging fire.
Just when he thought he was going to die, a flash of fire illuminated his cheek.
To be precise, it was a light.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw a tungsten filament lamp.
Dim, bright, and warm.
Like the only ball of light in the dark night, it melts the thick fog.
The system sent a reminder:
[Because this light is closest to daylight, your spirit value is slowly rising.]
He managed to glance up.
It turned out to be Lord Lin Muqiu.
