"When the first street lights were lit in the Republic of China, some saw light and others saw blood. An encyclopedia of the Republic of China with 'electricity' as a clue, two lamp-bearers' thirty-year journey in the dark era." This is an "industry epic" with the development of the electric power industry as its skeleton, the historical changes from the Republic of China to New China as its flesh and blood, and technological ethics and feelings of family and country as its soul. "Hardcore industry + era legend + suspenseful investigation" welcomes readers who like heavy realistic themes.
"Thirty Years of Current in the Republic of China" Always at the moment when the knife closes, the tungsten wire whispers secretly, the old cable drags the twilight of the concession, and all the things swimming in the voltmeter are colonial fish. I was working night shift at that time, and I always remember that the inspection book was densely covered with wounds with foreign language numbers. The insulated porcelain bottles continue to leak, and during the long rainy season in Nan City, the pipes left by foreign engineers accumulate in the main engine room, with ashes shaped like sycamore leaves. When the satin shop was the first to light up, the entire power line began to recite: Phones multiplied in the junction box, Paramount's rotating carbon lamp burned the acne into light spots, the voltage was changing, the tinnitus of the abandoned hardware workshop, and the undisarmed moonlight at the bottom of the Suzhou River. And every bolt I tightened bites into the joints that have been dislocated by the times. The friction on the belt is not only the uncool coal at the bottom of the Yangtze River, but also the increasingly hot resistance inside the cheongsam. When the knife was raised again, the morning glow accumulated in the darkness of the tungsten wire suddenly poured into this semi-colonial and semi-electrified dawn with 100% load.
The most anticipated aspect of this work is its multi-layered construction: on the surface, it is about solving puzzles caused by technological flow, in the middle layer, it is about the various social conditions of the Republic of China, and at the deepest level, it is a discussion of human nature and taboos. When all the lights in the city will light up with a curse, the protagonist must find the God of Death hidden in the electric current before the lights swallow up the entire city - this is not only a race against time, but also an exploration of the boundaries of modernity.
It must be praised with five stars. This is Tan Gu Lunjin's fourth novel, starting from "The Lights of the Tang Dynasty", to "Feeding by Virtual Lovers", and then "Electromagnetic Penetration of Royal Power - Electromagnetic Gun and the Female Minister". Currently, there is no "The First Street Lamp of the Republic of China, Electrocuted One's Own People". Each work has its own characteristics and depicts the feelings of different characters.
The Republic of China + Suspense + Reasoning. The horror treatment of lighting, an everyday element, is very ingenious. We rely on light to dispel the fear caused by darkness, but when light itself becomes the source of fear, the collapse of this fundamental sense of security will trigger deeper anxiety. We follow the protagonist, under the illusion of gentle lighting, to uncover a horrifying truth about electricity, death and city secrets.
It's a wonderful story that starts with stealing electricity. I read Chapter 13 in one go. The author will hurry up and update it.
This is a good book that can help people calm down in the hustle and bustle. The writing is as gentle as jade, but it touches people's hearts directly. Every character in the story is vivid and three-dimensional, as if they are living around us. It is not deliberately sensational, but it is filled with healing power between the lines. After reading it, I feel warm in my heart, as if I have been on a tender date.
Not bad, cheers to the author, the protagonist's IQ is online, not a virgin.
