More than two months passed in the blink of an eye in the rapid passage of time, and Yue Xiaofei ushered in his first New Year in this time and space. At the same time, everyone in Shenzhou City also began to enjoy a week-long annual leave. Finally got out of the word "busy" that everyone felt for the past two months, and everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief and happily planned how to spend this "New Year".

Thanks to the advent of cement, hundreds of thousands of people worked day and night for it. There is also a serious shortage of oil lamps and lamp oil due to the large number of people working four shifts, but fortunately there is a polluting but extremely bright light source. It all started two months ago.

"City Lord, you are here" Zhang Li sat on the steps of the courtyard, bowed his head in shame, and saw that his head was about to hit the ground, and muttered, "City Lord, the lime in this cellar is completely burned out." ”

Yue Xiaofei frowned and picked up the hard block of lime sintering, although they were all the same light gray hard blocks, but although this one was burned, he didn't expect that the first cellar of lime after changing to coke would actually be burned like this, this kiln cement is worth a lot of money, and the money is a trivial matter, but this is already a thing that has been sold, and the people who want it over there have been waiting for almost a week, and this is going to lose money to others.

"It's the new worker, who is still burning at the same time as the coal fire before, how can there be anything else."

Yue Xiaofei followed his fingers to see that the soot on the face of the person standing on the side had been washed into twisted stains by his own tears, and hung on his face. Maybe he was constantly wiping his tears with the back of his hand, and his face was spent.

"Master Zhang, I won't talk about him about this, but you are the head here, you used coke for the first time today, you don't transfer up the elite soldiers, and you don't look at it yourself, isn't it clear that you can't get along with your own purse! This time, the loss was deducted from our dividends. ”

Zhang Ligong didn't say anything, and there was more remorse in his heart. Yes, if you sleep for a while, your purse will be lost, and that is white silver! Although it is nothing to him who is now worth tens of thousands, why does he feel heartache.

After Yue Xiaofei's training, he looked back at the new worker who poked out this big leak, and saw that the one he was crying was sad.

The new worker felt that he was both wronged and wronged, and this Ligong cement mill was built from the beginning, and it was a chicken that laid golden eggs. The city lord has shares in it, and Mrs. Jingwen's heart is not to talk about the exam, but also to ask your family and friends to the bottom. Supposedly, no one will come, but this person is cheap, for the sake of that profit, he is like a lamp moth to a fire, and you can't stop it. Such a high salary, foreign weekends, and paid annual leave every year, let alone break your head and squeeze it in! The sadness of this new worker is probably because he didn't wait to make money, but he poked such a big leak, which really deserved to be unlucky. The young man's heart is dead. Seeing that everyone was scattered, Yue Xiaofei turned his head, only to feel that his knees were .......

Yue Xiaofei knew that people had this problem these days, and once he knelt down for something, he would "kill". Before he kneeled, he reached out and held him up. Glaring, he said, "What are you doing?" Forget our rules. As I said before, "corporate culture", Yue Xiaofei's given tone is "self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-improvement", and by extension, kneeling is "kneeling to the sky, kneeling to the ground, kneeling to parents", and other people, you think about it slowly.

"Look at your virtue, you are also worthy of becoming the great leader of our Shenzhou City."

Zhang Ligong and the young man listened to Yue Xiaofei's words, and their eyes widened, "Dare to be the city lord is confused."

"Who's going to bring us a basin of water?"

It's still a young man, with a bright head, and he doesn't care if the city lord is confused, this will be the time to shake the wit.

When the young man came back, Yue Xiaofei was holding a lamp in his hand and a piece of "scrap" in one hand

"Look at it" reached out and threw the waste product in his hand into the basin, you said it was really strange, a series of bubbles came out of the surface of the waste product. There was a disgusting smell of rotten eggs in the air, and the candle flame in his hand came over, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the fire actually ignited on the small surface.

"It's ......"

The eyes of the two men were as big as eggs, and they didn't understand that water and fire could be compatible. But you don't blame it. The fire was burning on the water, and it was still very strong, and it didn't seem to be extinguished for half a while.

This is called calcium carbide, and this is what the original acetylene generator looked like. It produces a temperature that can easily melt steel. Acetylene gas combined with the right amount of gas can produce a brightness comparable to that of the sun.

"Stop glaring, young man. If you keep staring, your eyes will fail. Tell you, you're rich. ”

The slap on Yue Xiaofei's hand was ready, for fear that the young man would go crazy like "Fan Jinzhongju".

Zhang Ligong muttered in his mouth: "Fuck, is it so easy to get rich, I think I was old Zhang Ke ...... at the beginning"

"I'm rich, I'm really going to get rich......" The young man's sudden shout startled Yue Xiaofei, and Zhang Ligong was also awakened by him.

"You're!" Yue Xiaofei kicked the young man's ass and kicked him high.

"The loss of Lao Zhang's is in vain, and besides, it's ......" Yue Xiaofei showed the appearance of a fox looking at a chicken.

"Of the three people, you didn't have a fart with the two of us. So this matter is only half of you, Lao Zhang accounts for 10%, I account for 40%, without me do you know what this game can do, and you have to try it to see what it looks like to ......"

Yue Xiao flew out of the door, leaving behind two old and young wealth fans who were worried about the experiment. He had a smug smile on his face: "It's been issued, and the fire welding actually has ......."

A month later, as the New Year approached, street lamps appeared on the streets, and the lighters held on to the herringbone ladder, went up to the top of the pole, turned on the brass gas nozzle, lit the gas lamp, and then covered it with a large gauze cover (there was no glass for the time being), leaving a bright light. Climb down the ladder yourself and walk towards the darkness ahead, leaving the light for those behind.

160 years ago, in 1836, David Edmond (1785-1857), a cousin of the famous British chemist David Humphrey (1778-1829) and a professor of chemistry at the Royal College College Cork, an irish port city, in the process of heating charcoal and potassium carbonate to make metal potassium, threw the residue (potassium carbonide) into the water, produced a gas, and exploded, which was the process of the discovery of acetylene. I don't know much about chemistry, so I'm just taking care of it.
