Mohist Pavilion's New Ingenuity, Heaven's Creation, Great Qin's Literary Fortune Begins a Grand Chapter

Everyone was taken aback at this, their faces full of confusion as they asked in chorus, "Why is that?"

Zhao Cheng slowly nodded and said in a clear voice, "The crux of widespread electric lighting does not lie with the lamps themselves.

"With Mohist Pavilion's current forging and manufacturing capacity in Wu'an, we could produce tens of thousands of them in a single day.

"But do not forget: electric lamps need electricity. Without electrical power to drive them, they are ultimately just ornaments with the shape but none of the substance, incapable of giving off even a glimmer of light."

He paused, sweeping his gaze across their puzzled faces before continuing, "Contrary to what you may think, the electricity produced by Mohist Pavilion is indeed of the same nature as the lightning in the heavens, yet it differs from it in many ways.

"This electricity is generated from firepower or waterpower through specialized machinery. Even if an electric lamp shatters or is damaged, the current will never leak out from its wires.

"That is why I say there is not the slightest problem with its safety."

"But to spread electrical power throughout Qin State's territory, an immense number of generators will be needed.

"The materials required for a generator capable of supplying an entire city are countless beyond measure. Given Wu'an's current resource reserves, it is simply impossible to complete the widespread installation of generators across Qin State in a short time."

"Even in the long term, even if every magnetic mine, iron mine, and copper mine around Wu'an were mined dry, it would still be difficult to achieve this goal."

"Therefore, if electricity is truly to become widespread, Qin State must first allocate a vast quantity of resources to Mohist Pavilion, so that we can manufacture enough generators."
