Chapter 6: Rural areas still don't have electricity



Li Zhisen ran out and first saw his parents and sister standing there. Then he looked at the ground and immediately got angry.

"I haven't had breakfast yet. Who overturned the table? My breakfast is gone. Are you trying to starve me to death?"

The wooden table in the main room was overturned on the floor, and the floor was covered with broken bowls and plates, as well as the dirty breakfast, with the tender white eggs covered in dust.

hateful!

Why did you turn the table over?

If you don’t want to eat it, then give it to him!

Li Zhisen is only 12 years old, and he is completely different from Li Xin who is as thin as a bamboo pole. He looks like he is overnourished and is fat.

"Who did this? I haven't eaten yet, how can you eat first? Why don't you wait for me?" Li Zhisen shouted in dissatisfaction.

The two fat feet were stomping hard on the ground, and the eyes, which were fat as slits, were staring at the people in the room.

"Oh, my little ancestor, why are you running here without shoes? Be careful, don't let the debris on the ground cut your feet!" Zhang Hongmei was not angry when her son accused her. When she saw him running out barefoot, she immediately became worried.

"I want eggs! And meat patties!" Li Zhisen shouted.

"Okay, okay, Mom will make it for you. I'll make it for you now. Put on your shoes first." Seeing that he was still stomping on the ground, Zhang Hongmei wanted to pull him into the room to put on his shoes first.

But Li Zhisen pushed her impatiently and asked her to make the pancakes quickly.

"Xue Ping, quickly bring your brother's shoes over, and then clean up this place so as not to hurt him." Zhang Hongmei had no choice but to turn her head and look at Li Xue Ping and said.

"...Oh." Li Xueping looked towards Li Xin's small room with complicated eyes, and finally turned around to get a broom to clean up.

Li Jianping picked up the bench on the ground, came over and picked up the barefoot Li Zhisen, asked him to sit down, and went to the inner room to get his shoes. However, his face was still not very good because of what happened to Li Xin just now.

As the male in the family, Li Zhisen has been spoiled since he was a child. It can be said that there are few families that do not favor boys over girls. When Zhang Hongmei gave birth to this child, she also wanted a son. Fortunately, she got her wish, so Li Jianping and Zhang Hongmei were particularly indulgent to him, which cultivated his character.

"Bah! Do you really think you'll find a backer by marrying a soldier? If you have the guts, lock yourself up in that little room and never come out!" Zhang Hongmei walked out and spat when she saw Li Xin's closed door.

Li Xin was in the room, listening to Zhang Hongmei's cursing voice coming from outside, but the voice was going in the opposite direction. She was making breakfast for her son again and had no time to deal with her.

Her room was converted from the original woodshed. It was located outside and was a small room with only one small window. Not only was it not ventilated, it was also cold in the winter and stuffy in the summer, making it uncomfortable to live in.

"If I had known, I would have taken all the eggs away." Li Xin touched his belly.

Just now at the dinner table, she had only eaten an egg and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, and her stomach was still not full. Now it looked like she would not have any share of lunch or dinner.

"Other people who travel through time have endless food in their space, why do I still have to go hungry when I travel through time?" Li Xin muttered to himself, looking at the room that he could see the end of at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh again.

It’s better to go into the space than to stay in this room. At least there is hot water to drink.

So Li Xin entered the space. It was almost the same as it was yesterday, and there seemed to be no extra changes.

"Master(*^▽^*)!" Sanmao was holding a broom in his hand. When he saw her come in, he called her affectionately. Then a happy smile appeared on the machine screen of the face.

Sanmao went to pour a cup of hot water, but there were no ingredients in the institute. Even if Sanmao could cook delicious dishes, she couldn't do anything without rice.

Li Xin drank a glass of water, thought for a while, and walked into her laboratory.

"Not eating is not a solution. I can only see how to get some food in such a house." Li Xin thought.

In this era, food and clothing are a big problem. Although she can research many things, she is not an agriculturist and cannot produce food.

"Guangyuan Village doesn't seem to have electricity yet. Let's go to the kitchen at night and get some food and hide it."

Because this village is located in a remote area and has no electricity, it should be said that many rural areas do not have electricity, so most people use candles or kerosene lamps at night. However, these things cost money, and most people are reluctant to light them. In addition, there are no other entertainment activities, so people go to bed early at night.

Basically I go to bed as soon as it gets dark and get up early the next day to work.

Li Xin thought about it. Apart from the two red candles lit on the wedding night, there was nothing else in the room. If he went to the kitchen at night, he would be completely dark.

Then make a small flashlight!

Li Xin quickly came up with an idea. The thing her research institute had the most was materials.

Soon, Li Xin found tungsten wire, copper, iron, solder and Dumet wire.

Tungsten filaments are very thin, thinner than a hair. Li Xin makes these tungsten filaments into a spiral shape, which can then be used as filaments.

Iron is used to make the lamp holder, which is made into a screw-type lamp holder with electrodes inside.

Copper is used to make the wires. Although there are only two wires, it is not easy to make. It requires three parts: inner wire, outer wire and Dumet wire.

"Well, the main parts of the light bulb are almost ready. Now let's go refine the heat-resistant glass and make a sensor column." Li Xin put the parts away and walked outside while muttering.

The sensor column is a horn-shaped glass part that connects the glass shell, tungsten filament and lamp holder.

Li Xin was busy at the research institute all day. If he didn't have to make all these small parts by himself, a small flashlight wouldn't take so long.

Research institutes generally study high-tech weapons and intelligent robots, so they don't need to make things like electric lights that are already common.

"It's really not easy to get started with these small glass parts." Li Xin looked at the finished product, breathed a sigh of relief, and then stretched.

Leaning back in her chair, she looked at the lights on the ceiling of the institute and suddenly fell into silence.

Yes, there are so many lights in the institute, and there are also small bulbs. She can just take one down and use it. So what was she doing just now?

Are you stupid because of doing experiments?

Forget it, the ceiling is too high and it would be difficult for her to get a light bulb!

Li Xin silently took the small flashlight he had just made and immediately left the space.

Until the evening, Zhang Hongmei did not ask Li Xin to come out for dinner, but as if on purpose, she cooked delicious meat and specially brought it to her from outside her room.

Li Xin smelled the fragrance coming from outside and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. His stomach, which had been hungry for a day, protested strongly.

"Wait a little longer, you can eat later." Li Xin comforted his hungry stomach.
