LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia

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 answered 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', 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?"

Turte 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 with determination, 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 Germany's future!"

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, Winward 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.

This is Demacia. If we don't explain things like electricity clearly, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.

In other places, light bulbs are already on the market and are on sale.

After the meeting.

Lu Qi left the palace.

This meeting also means that the scientific research institute has officially embarked on the road of scientific research.

They still have a long way to go.

But Lu Qi already knew what would be waiting for them if they continued like this.

What he was even more looking forward to was that in Runeterra, a place full of infinite possibilities, there would be some interesting places along this path.

Sitting on the carriage, he opened the curtain in a good mood and looked at the scenery outside.

It was still morning, and bicycles were passing by on the street, occasionally making the clear sound of "ding bells".

However, in recent days, there have been more and more people in the capital.

The streets are full of people, busy with traffic, and a lively scene.

Today, Lu Qi also saw some people wearing different clothes walking on the street.

The style is obviously different from the clothes worn by Demacians, and it looks like they come from outside the country.

Lu Qi could also see the identities of these people.

They are people from some allies in Demacia.

Outside the territory of Demacia, there is a large land, and on this land, there are several countries, large and small.

Some of them are allies with Demacia and have very close contacts.

Now they appear on the streets of the royal capital, and the reason is very simple.

In three days' time, it will be Demacia's National Day. This kind of celebration has existed for many, many years, and it is a very grand day.

Equivalent to Demacia's birthday.

Naturally, they came all the way to congratulate him.

With such a long distance, some people from the allies started setting off as early as a month or two ago.

Just arrived at this moment.

The Guangdun family's carriage also attracted the attention of many foreigners. They all cast curious glances, and their eyes fell on Lu Qi's face as he lifted the curtain.

Feeling that there were more and more eyes on him, Lu Qi lowered the curtain and leaned back against the wall of the carriage.

After a while.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

After getting off the carriage, Lu Qi got out of the carriage quietly, but immediately saw a familiar figure.

On the seat, a slender girl wearing homely white clothes and black hair was sitting there.

Opposite her was Fiona, who had a calm face and slowly moved her chess pieces.

As her chess pieces fell, the black-haired girl also frowned.

Sitting next to her was Bobby, a small man with big eyes who kept observing Fiona's chess skills.

"Miss Fiona is so awesome, I lost again."

As Fiona fell again, Heathlia said in admiration.

"You're making rapid progress too."

Fiona smiled upon hearing this.

At this time, the three of them also saw Lu Qi walking into the yard.

Heathlia immediately stood up and saluted: "Good morning, Your Highness."

Seeing Xisilia, Lu Qi was a little surprised and said, "Why are you here?"

"It's a rare day off today. I thought that since I returned to the royal capital, I haven't come to see His Highness, so I came here." Xisilia said.

"It's been a while since we've seen each other." Lu Qi smiled and said, "Congratulations on officially becoming a member of the Fearless Pioneers. Do you two already know each other?"

As he said that, he glanced at Fiona.

Fiona nodded slightly.

"Yes." Heselia also replied: "When I came here just now, there was no one in the yard. I thought His Highness was not there. Miss Fiona came out to meet me."

"Really?" Lu Qi returned to the capital and indeed did not see Xisilia again.

As an outstanding performer in the Dauntless Reserve, she has successfully entered the Dauntless Vanguard.

However, if she can tie the record left by Galen, it will only be a matter of time before she joins the Fearless Vanguard.

Chatted with Heathlia for a while.

When it was almost noon, Quinn came back.

After seeing Xiselia, she was also a little surprised.

They were chatting in the living room, and Lu Qi got up and went to the kitchen to start preparing lunch.

After a while, the smell of food wafted out of the kitchen.

It touched Xisilia's nerves, and she couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

When she sat down in the restaurant and looked at the sumptuous dishes in front of her, the glutton in her heart was awakened again.

As the delicious dishes entered her mouth, she suddenly felt emotional.

His Highness's cooking skills are still so good.

This long-awaited meal made Heathlia extremely satisfied.

After finishing the meal, Xisilia didn't stay long and said goodbye: "Your Highness, I want to visit my relatives in the capital this afternoon, so I have to leave first."

Hearing this, Lu Qi nodded and said with a smile, "Goodbye then."

"I will come to see His Highness again during the next vacation."

Before Xisilia left, she bowed slightly to Lu Qi and left quickly.

Her visit was a splash in Lu Qi's peaceful life. After making a little splash, it quickly calmed down again.

Lying on the chair, feeling the gentle afternoon sunshine, Lu Qi let time pass by casually.

There was a slight cool breeze blowing in the air, which made people lose their sleepiness, and it was so calm that it made people feel at ease.

At four o'clock in the afternoon.

A figure happily rode a bicycle into the courtyard.

After getting out of the car, Miss Crown Guard looked happy, obviously something good had happened to her.

"Good news, the college has closed early!"

She was so happy that she almost sang a song.

The college's early holiday was indeed great news for her.

This directly saved her two days of torture.

Lu Qi hadn't been to that place for a long time, so he didn't feel any psychological shock after hearing this.

I couldn't share Lux's happiness.

Almost half an hour later, Kashina also walked into the yard.

The Physical Education Academy also had an early holiday, so she didn't look so excited.

Seeing that four people were finally gathered, Lu Qi also stood up from his chair and said directly: "Will we do mahjong?"

"Do it!"

Lux and Kashina said in unison.

Lu Qi immediately said: "Go and shake people."

The two girls with itchy hands quickly ran to the backyard and called Fiona over there.

Four people were sitting at the mahjong table.

As usual, Poppy moved a small stool and sat next to Lu Qi and started watching.

But this time, Lu Qi looked at the innocent and innocent Lux across from him, looked at her for a few times, and laughed secretly in his heart.

His appearance has returned to normal.

Little golden retriever, your good luck experience card has finally expired!

Next, it’s his personal show!
